[Age 743]
[Time Skip - 6 months]
I have been training on Korin tower for 6 months now, and in these 6 months my strength has grown a lot, I can now easily handle 100 kg on each of my limbs. My speed has also increased a lot, and because of that, I can now use the After-image Technique, which I learned from Korin.
Korin has trained me in several things during these 6 months, but the worst thing during this time was that he kept making me climb the tower for trifling reasons. Can you believe, he made me fetch a boulder as it can help me in weight training while I'm on the tower, but then made me put it back because the boulder was too big for the entrance.
Anyway, back to the topic, let the bad memories be in the past. Korin trained me in lots of things, strength, speed, basic combat, telepathy and the best of all magic, although he only taught me basic element magic, it is still progress for the future self I've imagined.
About my Ki training, I'm now somewhat able to feel the Ki present inside me, and I have to say it's really chaotic. I don't know how it's for others, but it's really hard for me to control my Ki. Maybe because my Ki is similar to Majin Buu, chaotic and destructive, it is hard for a human body to have proper control over it.
Now back to the present, I'm currently standing on the edge of the upper floor with Korin, looking at the beautiful sunrise.
"It's a beautiful scene, isn't it, kid," Korin said with a happy tone.
"Yeah, it is," I replied.
Watching the sunrise was something that I did daily after I noticed it once. Looking at the sunrise from a place above the clouds is mesmerizing.
"It's been a great time with you, kid," Korin said with a soft tone, "But now it's time, your training here is finished,"
"What," I said in shock and turned to look at Korin, "But Master, I still have lots of things to learn from you,"
"It's okay, kid, I have trained you in everything I could," Korin said with a soft smile, "You have even surpassed me in strength,"
"What, I have surpassed you, Master," I asked in shock.
"Yes, kid," Korin nodded,
"Now, I only have one last thing to teach you, but before that, do you mind bringing that blue bottle here," Korin said and pointed at the bottle placed on the pillar in the centre of the floor.
"Okay, Master," I replied and ran towards the small pillar at the centre.
After taking out the bottle from the pillar, I returned to Korin.
"Kid, do you know what's inside this bottle," Korin asked, and I shook my head.
"It's Sacred Water," Korin replied, "You wanted to drink it after my training was over, right, you can have it now,"
I knew that sacred water didn't increase one strength, but there was no harm in drinking it. But I'm drinking it for another purpose, I had a theory about it, as it could clear one's mind of control, maybe it could also affect one's brain to possibly work faster or clearer than before.
I opened the bottle and started gulping it down. After drinking around a litre of water, I stopped and looked at Korin in confusion.
"How much water does this bottle contain?" I inquired.
"A lot," Korin replied with a chuckle.
"Okay, now that you have drunk the sacred water, do you feel any different," Korin asked in amusement.
"Uhh, no, I still feel the same," I replied, "Did this water go bad or something,"
"Hahaha, no kid, this water did not go bad," Korin replied, "In fact, it's nothing more than just regular tap water,"
"What… what do you mean," I asked in confusion.
"Tell me, kid, what are the things I made you do other than training," Korin asked.
"Other than training, we played tag," I replied and then made an irritated face, "And you made me climb the tower repeatedly"
"Kid, that is how I train my students," Korin said with a chuckle, "Your strength increased by climbing the Tower, and your speed increased as you chased me around,"
"Is that how your students become strong, by climbing the Tower and chasing you," I asked, "Then, does that mean, Sacred water is just for the motivation,"
Korin smiled softly and said, "You're right, kid, I use Sacred water to teach a very important lesson,"
"Although there are several shortcuts to gain strength in a short amount of time, in the end, it's always hard work that makes you strong," Korin explained, "Do you understand, what I mean by this,"
"Yes, Master, I understand", I replied in a serious tone.
"Good", Korin nodded happily, "Now, do you remember what I told you about Kami,"
"Ahh, yes, Master Kami is Guardian of Earth and lives on the Lookout, situated in the higher realm," I replied.
"Hmm, good," Korin nodded, "Kami liked your potential, so he wants you to train on the Lookout,"
"What, he wants me to train on the Lookout," I asked with excitement.
"Yes, he wants you to train on the Lookout," Korin repeated with a chuckle, "And he has asked me to let you drink Ultra Divine Water,"
'WHAT,' I was super shocked. In these 6 months I came up with several plans to get Korin to give me Ultra Divine Water, but I had no clue that I would get it without doing a thing.
I just wanted to scream all out, but I had to stay in character, or it would spoil everything.
"Master, what is Ultra Divine Water," I asked, holding back my excitement with everything I have.
"Ultra Divine Water is miracle water that has the power to bring out the hidden potential of anyone who drinks it," Korin said proudly.
"But Master, didn't you just say that shortcuts like these are bad for a Martial Artist," I retorted with a sarcastic tone.
"Ho-ho-ho, that was just to teach you the worth of hard work," Korin replied, "Shortcuts like these are just cherry on top,"
"I see," I replied with an annoyed face.
"But, before you drink it, let me tell you something important," Korin said with a serious face, "This water is poisonous, and if you overcome the danger it poses on your life, it will release all the strength hidden in you,"
"Master, you're giving me poison," I said, with a horrified expression, "What wrong had I done to you?"
"Shut up, drama queen," Korin said and tried to bonk my head with his staff, but I blocked it with my forearm.
"He-He, Master, I was just kidding," I said with a laugh.
"Now, listen to me," Korin said and pulled back his staff, "I will give you a drop of this water and if this doesn't affect you in any way, then I'll let you drink a cup full of it,"
"I see," I nodded in acknowledgement.
"Master, how many have drunk this water before me," I inquired
"13," Korin replied
"And how many survived it," I asked
"None," Korin replied with a serious tone.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that," I said and took a deep breath, "Let's try it".
"Okay," Korin nodded and waved his hand, a table appeared between me and Korin.
On the top of the table, a small cream-coloured ceramic kettle and one small ceramic cup were placed. On one side of the Kettle, the word 'Kami'(God) was written in white colour.
"Go ahead, kid, pour some for you," Korin gestured at the kettle.
I poured the water into the cup, the water was purple and had a faint odour. I then dipped my finger into the water and gave it a taste.
"Hmm, my tongue feels a little numb," I replied, analysing the effect it had on me.
"You don't feel any pain," Korin asked, "Or any bad effect on your body,"
"Nope, just a little numbness in my tongues," I replied, "Hmm, the numbness is gone now,"
"Sigh," Korin sighed in relief, "That's a good sign, I think you should drink it,"
When Korin placed Ultra Divine Water in front of me, although I was happy and excited, I was also scared. Scared of all that pain it could cause me. I still remember the scene where Goku drank the Ultra Divine Water, he suffered a lot under the pain that this water caused him.
But when I only felt a little numb on my tongue after drinking it, I realized the Poison resistance granted by the Magin cells is taking its effect and helping me.
Feeling happy that I won't be feeling any pain, I picked up the cup and gulped it in one go.
"Kid, tell me, how do you feel," Korin asked worriedly.
I placed the cup on the table and said, "The numbness on the tongue is back, other than that nothing,"
"Let me have some more," I said, then quickly poured myself another cup and drank it immediately.
"Kid, are you out of your mind, I only said one cup," Korin yelled angrily, "Now, tell me do you feel any pain or something,"
"Uhh, no, it's just that now I feel ants crawling all over my body," I replied after a thought, "Let me have another,"
I again poured myself another cup and drank before Korin could make a move.
.
{Bonk}{Bonk}
Korin instantly bonked me twice on my head with his staff, and then waved his hand, the table along with the kettle and cup vanished.
"You idiot, you were supposed to drink only one cup, now I don't even know if you will survive or not," Korin said angrily.
"But Master, other than some numbness in my body, I don't feel any different," I replied plainly.
"What," Korin yelled in disbelieve, "How can that be, anyone would've been dead at this point, and all you feel is a little numb and ants crawling all over you,"
"Sigh," Korin sighed in defeat, "Everything about you is just a big mystery,"
"Do you need any help in walking," Korin asked me with worry.
"No, I can walk," I replied and showed him by walking around.
"Okay, other than leaving the tower you can do whatever you want until the effect of Ultra Divine Water finishes," Korin said and left for the lower floor.
I walked towards the corner and sat down, and decided to wait out by doing meditation.

[Short 3rd P.O.V]
In the meantime, Kami on the Lookout was panicking as he saw Arlic, drink not one but three cups full of Ultra Divine Water, and Mr Popo was doing everything to keep Kami under control.
About, Korin… Well, he just wanted to get away from all this BS and have some alone time with his Fishes.
.
[Time Skip - 2 days]
Korin was minding his own business and was watering the Senzu plants. In these two days, he's been constantly bothered by Kami, as Kami was worried about Arlic too much. Although Korin was also worried about Arlic, he didn't let it slip through, in these two days he checked up on Arlic multiple times.
.
{Clang}
All of a sudden Korin felt a huge Ki and froze in place. The watering pot in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
"Is… is that Arlic's Ki, it has grown so much," Korin said in horror.
He immediately ran towards the upper floor.
On the upper floor, Arlic was still sitting in the corner in a lotus position, meditating.
"Arlic, wake up," Korin yelled.
"I'm awake, Master," Arlic replied and opened his eyes.
"Do you know how strong you have become," Korin asked and Arlic shook his head.
"Your strength has increased by 50%," Korin said in excitement.
"Really," Arlic asked in disbelief, and Korin nodded
"That's amazing," Arlic said in excitement and stood up, "Let me test it out,"
He then started testing his power by running around and doing mock fighting.

[The Lookout]
"Did you feel that Mr Popo, Arlic's Ki has skyrocketed," Kami said with excitement, "He's even left Piccolo behind in strength,"
"Yes, Kami," Mr Popo replied, "I think it's time for him to start the search for Power Pole,"
"That's right, Mr Popo, I'll inform Korin to send Arlic on his journey," Kami said and nodded in agreement.
"Finally, Earth has an amazing fighter to protect it," Kami said happily and tightened his fist.
