Kamijou Touma was just an ordinary twelve-year-old middle schooler in Academy City. He has hobbies to help other people that need help, and he also does a lot of street fighting against street thugs, so he was really fit for a twelve-year-old kid. But this is the first time for Touma to face a person who can easily defeat him without any effort at all. And the person who defeated him was a teenager about two years older than him with a very strange hair style who was wearing a red GI with a black t-shirt.
The movement of the person who defeated him was much more refined and trained than that of the person who was only doing a street fight. "I can see you having a lot of experience in real-life fighting. But sadly, your movement was too rough and unrefined, and you wasted a lot of movement. I maybe cannot call myself a martial art expert because I am also still learning the martial art from someone who has more experience and skill than me. But in front of my eyes, you are someone who needs to learn martial arts because you are wasting the martial arts talent that you have."
When Goku and Keitarou are deciding who will be the one to talk to Touma, It was decided that Goku would be the one to talk with Touma, while Keitarou was going to collect some information that he thought he would need.
***
So Goku tried talking to Touma by doing something he was good at, and that was fighting, so he challenged Touma to have a simple sparring. And the result of the sparring was already clear from the beginning, because Goku, as a Saiyan, had more strength, speed, and agility than Touma, who was only an ordinary human.
Beside that, Goku also has an advantage in fighting experience and martial arts technique, so there is no way Touma had a chance to win against Goku.
"Are you challenging me only to mock me? Or you have other purposes!" Touma did not like the teenager in front of him, because for Touma, the teenager who had a very weird hairstyle in front of him was the type of person he did not like at all.
"I challenged you to test how strong you are. For an ordinary human, you are not bad, but you are far from the best, and my purpose in coming here was not to mock you but to see if you are worthy of being trained in turtle-style martial art techniques or not. And it looks like you are worthy enough to be trained in turtle-style martial arts."
Touma was really confused right now. Why does the teenager in front of him want to train him, and why does he need to train him?
"My name was Kakarot, but all my friends call me Goku. Can you tell me your name?" Asked Goku, who introduced himself to Touma.
"My name is Kamijou Touma."
"Kamijou Touma? You have an interesting name, which means the one who purified God and destroyed the demon. With such a heavy name like that, I think you will have a very interesting life, Touma."
Touma, who never knew the meaning of his own name, felt a bit surprised because the meaning of his name was really heavy.
"Interesting? My life was far from that! My life is full of suffering and unluckiness! What kind of interesting life is my life? My life is full of suffering!"
"And because of your suffering, you are helping other people like crazy because you think if you help other people, maybe your suffering will ease a bit. But the things you want never happen; sadly, you are already used to helping other people to the point where you have blind trust in everyone around you and cannot tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong. You are often used by other people because of your kindness; you even do not mind being used for doing bad things. As long as you can be satisfied by helping others, Kamijou Touma, you are really a pitiful existence, and I, along with Goku, are appearing in front of you to change the way of your life to make you see and accept the truth of the world and reality and throw away your old way of life when you reject reality because of all the unfortunate events that happened to you."
***
"Oh, Keitarou, you're back? How the information gathering are you able to find out what you need?" Asked Goku, who felt a bit relieved when he saw that Keitarou was already back. "Yes, finding information in this high-tech city was very easy and did not take a long time. What we need to do next is find a place to live for a couple months and then do our mission."
Touma was really surprised when Keitarou suddenly appeared; he could feel that Keitarou was strong, even though he was not as strong as Goku. And Keitarou's words are making him unable to say anything at all because all the things that came out of his mouth were 100 percent true.
All this time, Touma is running from reality and living on his dream so he can forget a lot of bad things that happened to him in the past. And if Goku and Keitarou really can change him from a pitiful existence, he will gladly accept their offer.
He acts like a brave man who loves to help other people all the time. But the truth is, he was just a lowly coward who refused to accept reality and only wanted to live based on his stupid principles and dreams. Keitarou's words made him realize that he had already been running away from reality for a long time and felt enough to run away, so right now he feels enough to run away, and this is the right time to accept reality.
***
"So, Kamijou, are you going to accept my offer or do you want to live your life like you usually do? Because forcing other people to accept what I offer is something I do not like to do. So it was up to you to accept the offer or not."
Goku was learning a lot about morality from Son Gohan, who died of a heart attack when he was a little kid. And one of the things he learned was that forcing what he wants on other people is a bad thing to do. That's why he did not want to force Touma to train with him.
"I will accept your offer, Goku-san. All this time, I have been running away and rejecting what was right, and I keep using a lame excuse to run away. This time I will not run away anymore; if the training you offer me will make me stronger so I can have the power to face reality, then I will train myself as hard as I can." Touma accepting the offer was shocking for Goku, but not for Keitarou. Because Keitarou already knew Touma's basic behavior and stubbornness.
"If you accept our offer, then it was a good thing for you. Goku will train you in martial arts and psychological training, while I will train you how to use the cursed power in your right hand, the Imagine Breaker! And after the end of the training, I assure you, not even the strongest mage or magic god can beat you in a fight!"
