The Mystic Saiyaman.

[ 1st Arc: School Life ]

Planet Earth, the existential home of the dominant race that calls itself human. Impure and imperfect beings who only think of themselves, not caring about involving their own people in wars for their benefit. Insignificant and narrow-minded beings, little do they know that the tiny planet they live on has just emerged from its infancy compared to the vast universal plan.

A beautiful planet, one might say, deceiving all extraterrestrial entities with its majestic beauty, its vast expanse of seas, natural biomes, and wild animals... many superior entities in both power and technology are incapable of noting any significant importance in this tiny planet compared to the majestic universal plan.

And among billions of living beings... one in particular currently stands out as the most powerful, a warrior who subjugates all races, someone so powerful that they could destroy the planet with a simple energy blast.

Now, what could someone so powerful be doing to make their non-monotonous life more gratifying?

- SO BOOOORED!!! - Son Gohan shouted to the heavens while sitting on a type of golden cloud that propelled him forward in a perfect and fast flight, leaving behind an extensive trail of luminous path from the respective magical cloud.

It had been an hour since he left his home on a farm a great distance from the location of his new school. He had always been very traditionalist, to the point that his residence only had one electronic device, a television and a video game for his younger brother. Many might even mistake his family for being low-income due to the lack of luxury, little did they know how mistaken they were.

The inheritance he received from the King of Earth after the battle against Android Cell could easily consider them millionaires, but... they were never ones to show off for trivial things.

Unlike the Briefs family, who flaunted their wealth and literally made no effort to show themselves as the richest, most experienced, famous, and renowned scientists in the world.

With his thoughts unconsciously wandering into an extremely beautiful blue sky, Gohan barely noticed the structures of Tokyo approaching him, only realizing when he saw a very tall building pass below him, making him smile animatedly.

- It's time to go... - Gohan murmured, jumping off the cloud he was sitting on. - See you later, flying cloud... from now on, Goten will take good care of you. - He finally said as he saw the cloud turn around, leaving a trail behind in the direction of the house where his mother and younger brother lived.

A fall from such a height would at least break all the bones of an ordinary person, but that was not the case for Son Gohan, who promptly landed on the ground as if he weighed nothing, in a pure display of class and skill with flight. Looking around, he noticed he was in a very dark alley due to the tall buildings, and he soon saw a sign when he exited, adjusting his uniform.

- "City of Tokyo." - It read on a sign with the statue of a well-known, athletic man wearing a kind of battle gi, with a broad, distinctive smile that only one person in the world could display.

This was his late father, Son Goku. During the tournament against Android Cell, although the cameras failed at many moments, they still managed to capture some images, the main one being a five-minute segment of his father fighting brutally on equal terms with the Android. In the end, the transmission failed, only returning later when Gohan unleashed his final Kamehameha against the enemy, completely disintegrating him and thus bringing victory to the Z warriors and salvation to humanity.

He remembered how Android 18 was surprised by his request to destroy the bombs implanted in her and her brother, instead of hunting them down as the monsters that some of the other Z warriors insisted on labeling them.

He recalled the Earth celebrating for days and nights, with each Z warrior going on a much-deserved vacation.

Even the King of Earth discovered Gohan's location, learning that Saiyaman's father was responsible for defeating Piccolo Daimaoh in the past. Upon realizing his father's sacrifice, and especially his refusal to be revived to prevent any enemy from coming after him and reaching Earth, the King promised a great homage to Goku, ensuring that Gohan and his mother would not have to worry about money.

No one knew their last name, no one knew if they were truly human; they only knew that a man and his son were the duo responsible for saving the Earth, accompanied by a group of exceptional warriors who played very important roles in the confrontation.

Smiling proudly, Gohan sighed in relief that his father had taken such glory in defeating Android Cell. He couldn't see himself bearing the responsibility of carrying such a title. To him, his father was the true hero for choosing to stay in the other world so that enemies would not be drawn to Earth.

Noticing that he was walking too slowly, Gohan soon smiled and began a unique run, easily covering two hundred meters right from the start.

Many civilians were alarmed by the storm of wind passing by them, unaware that it was a single individual performing such a feat.

After a short journey through the main avenues of Tokyo, the Saiyaman's attention was promptly caught by gunfire that interrupted his run. The Saiyan hybrid immediately stopped and turned toward the source of the shots. It was a trio of poorly dressed bandits with heavy weaponry, firing at a small police patrol car.

Gohan was ashamed that such a large city allowed heavily armed bandits to act in this manner without a proper police response. The bandits could hit any civilian around if they wanted, and he feared this. As he correctly anticipated, his gaze quickly locked onto a bullet fired from one of the bandits' revolvers towards a civilian target. The world automatically seemed to slow down as he moved towards a woman with platinum blonde hair.

In a matter of a step, he was thirty meters away from her. Taking that step, a feeling of bestial fury surged within him. His hair stood on end as he caught the bullet with his left hand while supporting the platinum-haired woman with his other hand to prevent her from stumbling due to the windstorm that erupted from his sudden appearance, which looked more like teleportation but was purely excessive speed.

For a brief moment, the woman appeared to marvel at the sight of someone with shining blonde hair. Around him seemed to radiate a sense of comfort and protection with a resplendent and oppressive aura. Above all, he appeared extremely powerful and furious with all that was imposed.

Something, of course, she never expected to feel from a "human".

And so, like a golden flash, while the police were pinned down behind their vehicle, the blonde-haired warrior appeared in the midst of it all, deflecting all the bullets with just one hand, to the terror of the bandits who widened their eyes. They even despaired when they saw a rocket launcher shell being effortlessly blown into the sky by a powerful breath.

- This is really ridiculous... - Gohan murmured, watching them get into a custom car and speed away twenty meters at high speed.

They could barely see it, but Gohan gently pointed his right palm, and an invisible ki pressure emanated, perfectly flipping the speeding car, causing some of the occupants to break or dislocate parts of their bodies.

Everyone watched in amazement, especially a dark-haired girl who seemed eager to intervene in the bandits' fight but was surprisingly interrupted, immediately seeing the savior vanish from their sight as he lightly propelled himself and shot into the high skies.

- But... who is he? - the girl murmured to herself.

- Videl-sama... That was incredible! Is he a student of Satan-sama? - An old man asked excitedly, making the girl even more curious. - He had the same emblem on his uniform, but slightly different.

Far from Gohan's view, Videl's or anyone else's... the platinum blonde woman who had been saved by the golden warrior smiled mysteriously, just before a red-haired child enthusiastically jumped into her arms, along with another red-haired man in a sharp, elegant suit.

- What's wrong, G??????? - The question came from the adult redhead, just before she turned her attention to him.

- I think I found your idol, S??????. - She replied with a smile, surprising the redhead, whose eyes widened instantly. - And even more, he's at the same school as R???. - The platinum blonde finally said, picking up the little redhead while walking away, with the adult redhead barely containing his excitement as he asked everything about the appearance, the feeling, and anything about the human who had become the biggest gossip target in the underworld in recent years.

[ ... ]

- Satan Private School. - This is what Gohan read as he passed through the gates of his first educational institution, which he would attend after years of homeschooling and a turbulent childhood of battles.

Not that it was bad; in fact, it was very productive, especially when Android 18 showed up at his mother's farm shortly after his penultimate battle. It was truly funny to see his mother confront the Android out of jealousy, but in the end, they all got along, with the blonde Android receiving an invitation to live with them from Gohan himself, even learning a bit more in life earlier than expected. This, of course, deepened when another orange-haired individual, whom Gohan saved later from a powerful enemy, entered the picture.

Gohan saved later from a powerful enemy, appearing in the situation.

His mother was furious about it, but Gohan was right. Being Earth's most powerful protector, Gohan had to keep an eye on them to know if they were trustworthy, and it was best to have them close and learn a bit about society.

Smiling slightly at this, he soon decided to set aside such thoughts and focus on his school life, which was the most important thing at the moment.

Chichi always wanted the best for her son at home, but it was time for him to have some contact with society. Living forever on a farm far from the big city wouldn't do him any good, and the matriarch knew that very well. For this reason, even before her husband's death, she and Goku sought interviews with various educational institutions, but only to start this journey in high school.

With the wealth received from the King of Earth, Chichi divided it equally into a bank account for her and her son, but Gohan could only access it when he started high school to gain his independence in the renowned city of Tokyo, both buying his own house and knowing how to organize his personal life and survive in an environment completely new to him.

Walking among the various students and groups already formed by the clubs that attacked him like wild animals, Gohan aimed to study each stall that pulled him in.

He was invited to clubs for cooking, martial arts, swimming, choirs, self-study, and even a supposed occult club, where a beautiful dark-haired girl with an enigmatic look handed him a card with a strange red drawing that Gohan recognized as an unknown rune.

- "Maybe the club's emblem..." - He thought, not paying much attention, but he barely noticed that the dark-haired girl was staring at him mysteriously, as if recognizing that the runic symbol held a mysterious and hidden secret.

Walking through the grand front courtyard of the school, Gohan noticed he was the center of attention. Many girls glanced at him from the corners of their eyes, believing he didn't notice, but his senses allowed him to feel and study everything around him.

They stared at him for his unique physique and style, which stood out among the other male students, and they also stared because of the unusual emblem on his uniform, different from the others.

It was a very prestigious school he was enrolled in, combining the elementary system in the first educational district, the middle system in the third educational district, and finally the optional system, which was situated in the middle of it all as the central stage of the educational system.

Far from the city of Tokyo, there were humans who sought to engage in martial arts, ever since the incident years ago that led to his father's death. However, something good emerged alongside this.

Yamcha became a famous baseball player, leveraging all his superhuman abilities and performance. Tien Shinhan, along with his companion Chiaotzu, aimed to create training dojos across the country. These trainings not only covered martial arts styles but also ki control. However, it was well-known that only the most powerful among humans could manage to fly, though nothing stopped them from strengthening their bodies.

Krillin pursued a career in law enforcement, and as far as Gohan understood, he sought the highest rank to change Tokyo's current military style, which was a real mess.

Vegeta, as Gohan knew, did nothing but train, which even irritated Gohan every time Bulma came to his house crying due to Vegeta's selfishness in their relationship.

Piccolo, who was like a second father to him, remained the same, undergoing rigorous training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Gohan knew this to be extremely beneficial due to the unique style developed by both Saiyaman and Namekian in conducting meditations and psychological control, with even brief mastery of nature energy they absorbed.

Finally, Future Trunks returned to his timeline when the best friends aimed to perfectly control all the Saiyan transformations they had at the time. Gohan didn't feel secure letting his best friend go home and bear the weight of the world without at least developing the Super Saiyan 2. Together, they further elevated their level beyond their Time Chamber training days, which resulted in Gohan's appearance being slightly more mature than the standard for his age, making him look more like a college student than a high school freshman.

Little by little, his father's sacrifice was paving the way for a brilliant future for humanity, which was opening its eyes to what was happening around them. Alongside this, Mr. Satan had become a sort of martial leader, one of the greatest human strength powers present at the Cell tournament, with the support of the King of Earth, a powerful extraterrestrial who served as the foundation for the Magna Carta treaty of entrants from other planets to Earth. This treaty was causing significant changes to the world everyone knew.

However, none of this mattered to Gohan, as being in such a prestigious school with the name of Mr. Satan's family on it, Gohan now saw it as a gateway to a grand future in his personal life, away from the turbulent fights and wars he aimed to traverse in his life.

However, as with everything, there are highs and lows:

Currently, the school follows a very simple basic division; There are two classes of students: the Elite and the Rejects.

A rigid and unfounded way of categorizing in Gohan's view.

Rejects: These were the students with a fighting power level between 01 and 05, mainly focused on being instructed in academic and optional arts, with minimal access to basic elementary instruction. It was somewhat understandable based on their capacity, but the student prejudice seemed to make things worse.

On the other hand, there is the Elite: Students with a fighting power level between 06 and 10. Something like nobility compared to the commoners in past terms. Here they are instructed in academic and optional arts, but with a primary focus on rare elemental arts, such as better ki control and ancient arts that seemed to gradually form a sort of society of heroes and villains, along with foreign races that visited the planet since the martial arts tournament where Gohan defeated Bojack.

In Gohan's view, everything was about ki control, but society imposed it as magical control. Something more related to past legends and folklore, which led to such a title, keeping them as the central stage among visiting races on the planet.

Immersed in his thoughts while walking through the campus towards the gym, Gohan was promptly interrupted by a girl who appeared in front of him, scrutinizing his uniform carefully.

The emblems on his uniform determined his category and access to certain areas of the campus. Male students wearing basic uniforms, consisting of black suits with silver emblems, were considered Rejects.

Male students with personalized uniforms, being wine-red suits with golden details and black emblems featuring a frozen flame, were considered the Elite.

The distinguishing factor in Gohan that caught the attention of the red-haired Elite girl was precisely that he wore a black suit with his emblem specified in silver, with a frozen flame bordered in wine-red. Something that could have been a mistake, but involving Gohan, it was never a mere coincidence.

- You are a freshman, aren't you? - She asked politely, her voice calm and serene. Her uniform resembled a customized formal floral yukata with a uniformed aspect, something quite attractive in Saiyaman's view, who studied her meticulously, from her gaze to her expressions, intentions, and even her charm with long crimson hair and a body that could be used as a weapon to deceive someone or seduce others. - Can I help you with something?

- Thank you for the offer, but I'm fine. - Gohan said, looking directly into her eyes and sensing a hidden potential beyond the norm, nothing threatening... but it seemed dark. - I mean, it's just following the direction of all that noise, right? - He finished with a hint of humor in his voice, considering the excitement from the gymnasium that was surely crowded with students.

- That's right, I'm doing a final round to make sure no new student gets lost during the selection. I am the Student Council President: Gremory Rias. - She girl introduced herself to Gohan, promptly smiling for the first time as no man seemed to contemplate her body as if it were a rule or a piece of succulent meat in the eyes of a hungry lion.

Little did she know that Gohan could study every part of her body without even moving his eyes to any side, and if his memory didn't fail him... this girl was not what she appeared to be and didn't even fit the human category. However, it wasn't as if he was desperate for women to the point of crawling and licking the ground they walked on or curious enough to meddle in others' lives... in fact, he had a good female audience at home to teach him how to behave in the presence of the opposite sex, something showing beautiful results at the moment.

- Beautiful name, Rias. - Gohan tested the name with a tone of appreciation while extending his hand in a foreign greeting to the society they were in. - My name is Son Gohan. - The Saiyaman introduced himself, pulling her palm and kissing the back of her hand without breaking eye contact with the student beauty in front of him.

- "Son..." - Rias thought calculatively, trying to notice any trace of an origin she knew or a great source of power, but all she could feel was a null aura.

An aura that, when studied, showed no gaps, as if he was always on high alert, ready for any attack or threat, yet all this while his expressions and mannerisms were commonly the same as the various students in that school, seeming even relaxed but ready for any attack.

Returning to reality, Rias was about to ask about the irregular emblem on Gohan's standard uniform, but a voice alerted her:

- President! - A dark-haired girl with a sculptural body as beautiful as Rias's came towards them. This girl had given him a pamphlet just a few minutes ago and sent him a mischievous smile upon seeing him again and in the current greeting position with the redhead. - Are... am I interrupting something?

- Never... The Student Council President was just studying my null aura... here's a tip, avoid focusing your ki in your eyes, it can affect them negatively in the long term if you overuse them without proper preparation or a specific lineage for using your eyes for this. - Gohan explained normally, surprising Rias, who hadn't expected to be caught. - Well... excuse me. - He said finally, walking towards the central gymnasium.

Watching Gohan calmly walk away, Rias and her colleague examined him:

- What do you think his power level is? - Rias asked, confused by the emblem on his uniform.

- Are... looks like we finally have someone who captured the attention of our crimson ice queen. - The brunette said presumptuously. - Even though he doesn't seem to have much accumulated power, his gaze leaves no doubt, this boy has been through a lot.

- You're right, Akeno. Anyway, for now, no one knows specifically his power level or even his magical aptitude... We'll have to wait for the initial tests.

With that, both aimed to proceed with their duties.

[ ... ]

The commotion of students already seated in the gymnasium was enormous, similar to a show or a sports championship. However, here... the main focus was the opening of another academic year, whether elementary, high school, or college, along with the introduction of new members to the discovery of their elemental arts and magical control.

Gohan, observing everything, promptly studied each one there and noticed an almost equal division between those with power levels below 05 and another half above 05, but none exceeding 10. In some cases, there was a hidden and dark sensation, but nothing extreme, meaning it was consistent with the standard of human society.

Logically, there could be rare human cases, like Yamcha and Krillin, who could indeed be considered "Gods" in power compared to humans, due to intense training and many challenges that pushed them beyond the human standard, with only part of Gohan's race, or specifically alien races, being different.

Something Gohan had in his genetic bloodline was the Zenkai ability: The ability to strengthen and surpass limits with each defeat or trauma experienced, which had happened many years ago, whether on Planet Namek or even on Earth, specifically in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and in various confrontations he had faced.

Being a hybrid of Saiyan and Human had always kept him above the Saiyan potential, whether it was his father's or even Vegeta's. And here he was, immersed in a crowd of students while none noticed his sovereignty.

In some cases, it would be confusing or strange, even a reason for mockery by some who would consider him inferior. But the art of being powerful is not flaunting your full power to mere common eyes, but rather concealing all your potential and only unleashing it during a confrontation that truly requires such action.

Sitting in a chair in the upper tiers of the gymnasium, Gohan closed his eyes and promptly felt a girl approaching where he was. Gohan could make a certain comparison since he entered the school; the girls here were really beautiful by common standards, all resembling magazine models that Master Roshi always instructed Gohan to "study" after his father's death, but such thoughts were for another moment.

- Excuse me... - The girl Gohan felt closest to him murmured as she made him look at her. She was short and seemed to be in elementary school, her platinum blonde hair and short style gave her a cute look like those TV shows his brother Goten watched. - Is this seat next to you taken? - Her voice was practically emotionless as she pointed to the seat next to him.

- Sure, you can sit. - Gohan replied calmly while seeing behind her an older boy, almost Gohan's age, with the apparent difference in their physical potential. His hair was blonde, and his skin was fair. Both had noticed the emblem on his uniform, with Gohan being the only one not to give it much importance.

- Well... I'm Yuuto Kiba, nice to meet you. - The blonde announced while striking up a conversation with Saiyaman.

- Son Gohan, nice to meet you, and you? - Gohan directed the end to the platinum-haired girl.

- I'm Toujou Koneko! Nice to meet you, Gohan-senpai. - She said, still emotionless but not showing any reluctance towards Gohan.

Before anyone else could say anything, the gymnasium lights finally went out, while the central stage lit up for the presentations:

- Welcome everyone to another academic year! We will begin the enrollment ceremony of Satan City Main School in Tokyo in a few minutes... It is with great joy that I announce that this year, we have finally managed to implement a merger of three educational districts, logically that such changes came with a new teaching implementation.

- All of this is based on the events of years ago, when Goku, an Earth hero, saved us from imminent destruction against the villain Cell. Many speculate on what happened that day, but one thing is certain for me, who was face to face with such an event, our hero saved us, and here we are, embracing a new future for humanity, a hope after the sacrifice of our hero and his son, the golden warrior who played a major role in defeating the Android.

- And finally, with joy and perseverance, I proclaim the beginning of the aptitude tests. Do not think of this as a division between weak and strong. What we do here is send our renowned students to specific areas where they will perform best.

- Anyway... let the tests begin.

Finally, the director of the renowned institution and champion leader of the annual martial arts tournaments gave his motivational speech with unparalleled euphoria in the gymnasium.

- He changed... - Gohan murmured to himself, remembering how the old Mr. Satan used to loudly proclaim that everything that happened in the past were mere tricks. But here he was, acting completely different from what was said about him. Gohan barely understood what had happened to him, but whatever it was, it was very good.

- They say the director changed his way over the last five years... something involving an accident with his wife, when the so-called golden warrior saved her from it," Yuuto explained after hearing his colleague's murmur.

- Hm... interesting... - Gohan murmured to himself while finally smiling, at least feeling responsible for something good, despite internally blaming himself for all the catastrophe in his family and how he would never again let his guard down against an enemy when he had the power to finish them.

After such reveries and old mental flashbacks of his traumas, minutes passed with the audience's euphoria when they saw the redhead and the brunette Gohan had met a short time ago appear on the central stage, while two other students separately brought a large transparent crystal, along with a technological machine that Gohan could well note to be a power meter.

- To all students already enrolled in our institution, please remain in your seats. - The redhead explained with a microphone in hand.

- As for the new students for elementary, middle, or college, please form a single line from the central stage, wrapping around the platform," the brunette continued while many elementary students ran eagerly to be the first.

Gohan, who soon stood up calmly along with the boy and girl he had met, received a thumbs-up for good luck and headed towards the stairs. He cared little about being first or last, only focusing on maintaining his control and not unleashing an immeasurable power compared to the common standard during the tests.

Gohan positioned himself in the middle of the line, being the last high school student in it, with only college students behind him, who curiously eyed him, trying to figure out if he was a supposed colleague of their courses, unaware that he was two to five years younger.

He saw very well how the tests worked during the minutes of great excitement in the gymnasium.

There were three specific tests:

The first test: Focused on the emission of magical power (KI) into the crystal, which would inform him of his aptitudes, indicating his power level, which would inform everyone exactly which class he would be instructed in, with the Rejects below 05 and the Elite above 05.

Gohan had undergone this test individually during his interview with the school years ago, but here, it seemed they were just repeating the process to divide them into appropriate classes.

The second test: Focused on the emission of magical power (KI) into the second crystal, specifically to reveal his Elemental Aptitude, with the Rejects predominantly awakening basic elements like: Water, Earth, Fire, Air, or Lightning. And the Elite, who could awaken rare elements, such as elemental fusions like: Lava, Ice, or even unknown elements.

The third and final test: Focused on physical power. Ranging from a base standard of 20 for elementary students, 50 for high school students, and finally 100 for college students, who had already participated in previous training.

Only one person had managed to exceed the 100 physical power limit, and that was Mr. Satan, who hit 200 in total strength.

Gremory Rias, who was the first student to take the test, being one of the main presenters of the Student Council and a first-year student, demonstrated a power level of 10, while her elemental aptitude was the Element of Destruction, along with a Physical Power of 50.

The second person was Himejima Akeno, who stood beside her. She had almost identical stats to her colleague, with the only difference being her elemental aptitude as Static Element. However, unlike the Reject standard of blue lightning, hers was Elite-level yellow, very similar to pure electricity. Other than that, her status was identical to her red-haired colleague.

Several students followed. Many were of Reject level, many of Elite level, but one more caught his attention:

This was a girl he had seen that morning in the city center after a bank robbery, Videl, and from what Gohan could hear, she was Mr. Satan's daughter. Her power level was 10, her elemental aptitude was Particle Element, and finally, her physical power surprised everyone, as it marked 101... something that broke the student record there, but Gohan could see she was holding back at that moment.

After that, things became more monotonous, especially when three first-year perverts were practically undressing the female students with their eyes, and in the end, they demonstrated minimal aptitudes.

When it was his turn, Gohan was pleased to see his two acquaintances take their tests:

Yuuto Kiba achieved a power level of 10, a rare elemental aptitude, being Steel Control, with additional information about blade creation and control. With a Physical Power of 50.

As for Toujou Koneko, she achieved a power level of 10, a rare elemental aptitude, which wasn't exactly an element but rather control over Natural Energy, along with her physical power, which was a big surprise. She reached 105, with Gohan seeing her hold back significantly in the strike she delivered, but it served as a great general surprise as the record was once again surpassed after years of stagnation at that threshold.

Finally, it was his turn:

Standing on the central stage, facing a transparent crystal, Gohan sighed calmly while keeping his power level under control... containing it as much as he could, with veins pulsing on his forehead. Many mistook this act as him struggling to find his magical energy, but what only a few noticed was his aura being suppressed in a crushing manner within him. Something as difficult as trying to transfer all the water from an ocean through a straw and make it fit in a cup, but he was well-prepared for it.

Touching the crystal while infusing his own ki, a number appeared... something that surprised everyone and left them confused in their own thoughts.

- P-power level... 5.5. - A pink-haired teacher said in confusion about the meaning of such power, informing her superiors. If it was a power level of 5, it was supposed to be a Reject class, but if it was 6, it had to be Elite. There had never been a middle ground that confused where he should be designated.

With a nod to the next step, Gohan walked to the second crystal and once again infused his ki... only to have two lists of elemental aptitudes appear:

On the left, the five basic elements were listed: (Suiton) - Water, (Doton) - Earth, (Katon) - Fire, (Futon) - Wind, and (Raiton) - Lightning.

On the right, all currently known fused aptitudes were notably present. These included: (Mokuton) - Wood, (Hyouton) - Ice, (Ranton) - Storm, (Jinton) - Dust, (Youton) - Lava, (Yugeton) - Steam, (Futton) - Acid, (Shouton) - Crystal, (Jiton) - Magnetism, (Shakuton) - Heat, (Enton) - Blaze, (Bakuton) - Explosion, (Hikariton) - Light, (Meiton) - Darkness.

Not wanting to waste time with all eyes on him, Gohan promptly headed to the physical meter.

Sighing again while placing his fist close to the meter, Gohan punched very lightly, met with sarcastic laughter from the other students, but his seriousness in the tests was notable to Rias and Akeno.

To the uncomfortable silence of the entire gymnasium, the mark of 500 physical power was calculated as the device beeped furiously and the machine slightly cracked under the alarmed gasp of a brunette teacher.

- Damn... - Gohan murmured to himself for failing to hold back. He had hoped for less than 150, but there was nothing he could do about it. Dispelling all those thoughts, he soon thanked any divine entity for having controlled his power level.

It would have been madness if his total power level had appeared there, something around 100,000,000. That would indeed be madness to reveal in such a crowd.

Seeing many murmurs around, Gohan finally left the stage, heading to the area where they would assign him to a class.

Many now understood why his emblem was irregular; his power level did not fit neatly into one class or the other, so he received both.

His elemental aptitudes were a huge surprise, even to Saiyaman himself, who had never thought about controlling composite elements in nature, since ki control was more about pressure, nature, and explosiveness. Apparently, humans, not being as strong as extraterrestrials, adapted the use of such energy in their own way, making it more controlled, fluid, and elemental, which fit well with their understanding and reasoning about the world.

Finally, his physical power – well, his muscular physique showed he was strong, but not absurdly above the standard shown by Mr. Satan, who to them was one of the most powerful, especially for being present in the Cell tournament confrontation.

And here comes a newcomer, showing to have a calculated physical power greater than the school director. That would indeed be a topic of debate throughout the school.

[ ... ]

The selection was very simple for all students. Based on their power level, they were assigned to a class in the two divisions. However, with Gohan's arrival, he was the outlier. After much discussion with the school board, he was considered a Reject in the Elite Class.

And this is where he finally stood:

- Class 1-A... - Gohan murmured, already late for class due to the debate he had with the albino director. - Well... here we go!

Uttering that with a single thought in mind of having a calm and peaceful school journey, little did the dear Human-Saiyan hybrid know that his life would literally turn upside down from here.

Now having a redhead and two brunettes trailing him, while many in the occult world aimed to understand the feared potential of Saiyans, and how they could ally with such a force without becoming sworn enemies of the most powerful Saiyaman.

And with that, I conclude the first chapter of The Mystic Saiyaman.

I hope everyone enjoyed this alternate beginning, based on what would happen if humanity weren't a bunch of fools believing everything was a trick, as presented in the anime.

Additionally, Gohan will gradually start to notice that Saiyans aren't the only powerful beings in the universe, and various races and kingdoms will emerge, either to stand at his feet or become sworn enemies trying to usurp his power.
