"Ah?" Hearing Aira's words, Rhode's expression involuntarily showed a thoughtful look. He wasn't surprised by how seriously they were taking it, but rather, he was pondering a question. "Aira, tell me, at this stage, which of them can perfectly control their power to precisely below 100 Battle Power during a fight?"
Among them, Bulma had the worst control over her power. While she was used to it in daily life and wouldn't have problems, once she started fighting, her control over her power definitely wouldn't be that precise. As for the remaining four little ones, although they had good control over their own power, if they had to precisely control their Battle Power to below 100 during a fight, even Goku, the strongest among them, would find it very difficult right now.
At this moment, hearing Rhode's question, Aira was also stunned, realizing that this was indeed a problem, and perhaps those little ones hadn't noticed this when they were discussing it.
"Forget it, let them be. A little relaxation isn't bad!" Although the graduation trip for these little ones to collect the dragon balls was full of plot holes, Rhode still let them go. After all, they were just a group of children. Even Bulma, the oldest among them, was only sixteen years old. It was a time for play, and staying in the Martial Arts Hall to train all day long was indeed not ideal.
"Speaking of which, should we go create some trouble for them?" As he spoke, Rhode tapped his fingers on the sofa, a playful look on his face, and couldn't help but eagerly suggest to Aira.
"Create trouble?" Hearing Rhode's words, Aira's eyes curved into a smile as she pondered, then said, "Are you planning to train their actual combat ability? That could work!" After all, the group's power was indeed too strong. Even if they strictly adhered to the agreement, collecting the dragon balls would be an easy task. Moreover, Kakarot, Chi-Chi, and Bulma each already had a dragon ball in their possession.
A year had passed, and Goku had long known about his grandpa Gohan's death, and he treasured the Four-Star dragon ball immensely. Because while the little ones were training, Rhode had also found someone to simply teach them how to read and write. Therefore, facing Gohan's passing, Goku was sad for a long time, but he eventually accepted it.
However, the agreement Rhode had made with Gohan back then was basically nullified. Originally, the agreement stated that he would have ten days of training per month before he came of age, but now, Goku spent all his days training in the training ground, only returning to Mount Paozu to sleep at night, and he even enjoyed it. Rhode saw this but did not interfere.
Thinking of Goku and Bulma's graduation trip to collect the dragon balls, and now mentioning actual combat training, Rhode couldn't help but think of the World Martial Arts Tournament. The current World Martial Arts Tournament was still held once every five years, and it seemed like it would be held again soon? Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Aira: "Speaking of which, is the World Martial Arts Tournament going to be held again?"
"World Martial Arts Tournament?" Hearing Rhode's words, Aira was stunned, a little bewildered, clearly not very clear about it. In fact, Aira, apart from occasionally going shopping or sitting down to drink tea and chat with Rhode like now, spent most of her time training, either improving her power or researching techniques, and she didn't care much about outside matters. It was only because Bulma and the others were right under her nose that she was somewhat aware of their affairs. As for the World Martial Arts Tournament being held again, that was not within her scope of concern. In fact, if Bruce hadn't won the Martial Arts Tournament champion during the several years Rhode was away, which led to the Martial Arts Hall's growth, Aira might not have even heard of this event.
"What, are you planning to participate?" Hearing Rhode suddenly mention this martial arts event, Aira raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask.
"I do have that intention. Those little ones are improving their power very quickly and basically won't encounter opponents on Earth. I think they should experience some setbacks!" Facing Aira's expectant expression, Rhode said with a smile. Currently, Goku and the others' power was too strong. Besides themselves, whether it was those minor villains on Earth or potential opponents in the Martial Arts Tournament, it would be difficult for them to even put pressure on them, let alone win against them. Growing up like this was not a good thing, so Rhode planned to artificially create some obstacles for them.
"Oh?" Hearing Rhode say this, Aira also became interested: "Since you're going to participate, then I'll participate too. We can have a fight under the rules' restrictions then!"
Although their relationship was different from before, Aira was still bothered by her inability to defeat Rhode. It was just that since the previous stage, Rhode had always been ahead of her, making it almost impossible to defeat him. However, if there were many restrictions, then it might not be impossible.
"No problem!" Facing Aira's words, Rhode readily accepted. However, thinking that he certainly couldn't go all out in the World Martial Arts Tournament, he pondered and then suggested: "Since Goku, the strongest among the little ones, is below 100,000 Battle Power, how about we agree not to use more than 100,000 Battle Power when we fight then?"
"Good!" At this moment, hearing Rhode's suggestion, Aira readily agreed. If everyone limited their Battle Power to below 100,000, then the fight would be about control over power and the use of techniques, and she might not necessarily lose.
However, thinking of techniques, Aira couldn't help but look at Rhode: "Since Battle Power is limited to below 100,000, then techniques that boost power, like Kaio-ken and Self-Evolution Technique, can't be used either, right?"
"Of course!" Hearing Aira's words, Rhode looked at her twice and nodded speechlessly. If boosting techniques could be used, then would Great Ape Power count as a power-boosting technique? What about Super Saiyan transformation? If there were no restrictions, then even if his normal state didn't exceed 100,000 Battle Power, if he directly stacked Super Saiyan with Great Ape Power, could she still fight? While complaining internally, Rhode immediately emphasized: "Just make sure the power used doesn't exceed 100,000 Battle Power!"
"Alright, I'll inform Bruce to arrange their participation qualifications!" Seeing Rhode say so, Aira immediately eagerly called Bruce and had him arrange the little ones' participation matters. After understanding the relevant procedures and rules of the World Martial Arts Tournament, she looked at Rhode: "What about us? After disguising ourselves, should we just register on site?" In Aira's mind, since they intended to give the little ones setbacks, they naturally couldn't participate through Bruce. At the same time, they both had to make some disguises to avoid being recognized.
"I'll take care of these minor things. You just come with me to participate then!" Regarding these minor matters, he could solve them with a flick of his hand, so Rhode said carelessly.
"Alright, I'm really looking forward to that day!" Seeing Rhode say so, Aira no longer dwelled on such minor matters, but was full of anticipation for their final duel.
