Hazuki traveled for a few minutes before he reached the Capsule Corp.
He arrived at the front gate and pressed the doorbell.
*Ring* *Ring* Bulma, who's talking to Whis, excused herself to attend to the front gate.
Whis just finished eating the Ramen Vegeta offered and was commenting how delicious it was.
Vegeta, who's covered by dust, appeared proud as he made Whis agree to his request. After this, he's going to train under the God of Destruction's master!
Bulma ran inside the house to respond to the doorbell. She looked in the intercom and saw a familiar face.
"Oh, Kid, it's you again? You already finished training under Master Roshi?" Bulma asked through the video.
"Yes, Ms. Bulma," Hazuki replied.
"So, what's your business here today?" Bulma asked. Since Whis is waiting for her, she had better finish the talk quickly and attend to him.
Hazuki immediately stated his purpose. "I heard that the person who's accompanying Beerus-sama is here. Can I at least talk to him, Ms. Bulma?" even though Hazuki feels uncomfortable calling someone '-sama', he must do it since he might get destroyed due to his impudence.
Bulma looked troubled as she scratched her head with a stiff smile. "Wait a minute, kid. I'll ask Whis-san.." she then ran towards Whis and informed the latter of Hazuki's request.
"Oh my, what could be his business with me?" Whis exclaimed, but he allowed Hazuki's request and allowed Bulma to let him in. He was quite in a good mood since he ate delicious food.
Bulma ran back towards the intercom and said towards Hazuki. "Okay, Whis-san allowed you to come in. But please kid, don't be impudent in from of him.."
"Rest assured, Ms. Bulma, I know my place." Then Hazuki entered the building by himself and went towards Whis' location.
A few seconds later, he arrived at the place and saw Whis sitting on a large table, with Vegeta standing in front of a portable kitchen.
'Vegeta already finished his offering, huh..' Since that was the case, Hazuki can now offer his. With a kitchen nearby, things would go very smoothly.
"Oh my, what a refined Ki control..." Whis suddenly exclaimed after seeing Hazuki arrive. Whis can immediately see Hazuki's precise control over his Ki.
Hazuki's Ki was very large, but it was circulating in him in a very timed and precise manner. The surrounding Ki also doesn't fluctuate as he walked through them as if he was also Ki drifting in the air.
After observing Hazuki for a while, Whis was quite amazed by him. But that didn't last for long and he immediately regained his demeanor, he asked. "So, what do you want to talk with me?"
Hazuki bowed towards Whis as he said. "Please teach me!"
Vegeta was quite irritated by Hazuki's request. 'Humph! A kid wanting to stand at the same level as me?! Pointless!'
Whis was quite intrigued by Hazuki's request and nearly chuckled. 'Even though you are very adept at controlling Ki, you are still far cry from reaching Beerus's level..'
"Fine, but only if you can satisfy me." Since he was in a very good mood after eating delicious food, he didn't demand an unreasonable request like 'become a god of destruction first. And since Hazuki was very good at controlling Ki, he gave him a chance to realize his request.
Hazuki inwardly smirked and celebrated. 'Yeah! Training under him is now guaranteed!'
"Of course, Whis-san. I will make you eat the most delicious food on earth!" Hazuki declared.
"Oh? There's still something more delicious than instant Ramen?!"
Vegeta observed Hazuki silently and thought. 'Let's see how you will disgrace yourself, kid.'
"Ms. Bulma, may I borrow your kitchen?" Hazuki turned to Bulma and asked.
Bulma was quite startled. 'I thought he would also try to bring Whis-san to popular restaurants..'
"Okay, you can use it," Bulma said.
"Thank you, I'll cook a serving for you too, Ms. Bulma." Then Hazuki brought out the ingredients he prepared while he was on the island.
Oysters, Clams, and Shrimps. Those were the ingredients brought out by Hazuki. These were the best he can find in the ocean.
Then Hazuki started cooking. He fried the Shrimp in boiling oil then prepared the broth. There were many prepared ingredients around the kitchen, so he can finally recreate Saiba joichiro's cooking.
A few minutes later, the whole area was covered by an intoxicating smell wafting through the air.
Whis, Bulma, and even Vegeta, gulped in anticipation.
"What a wonderful smell! The smell alone is enough to make a person who just ate, Hungry again!" Whis said.
Bulma just nodded but there was a strange glint in her eyes as she stared at Hazuki. 'I didn't know he was such a great chef! If I knew, I would have employed him! Then my and trunks' safety was guaranteed!'
Hazuki presented his dish to Whis and Bulma, who's eyes were sparkling and was gulping in anticipation.
"Here you go. That dish is called 'Zuppa Di Pesce'. It's a seafood soup with stoccafisso." Hazuki introduced.
Whis and Bulma then slowly tasted the first serving.
Whis' eyes suddenly widened and he stood up from his seat. "Oh my! What a wonderful taste! The oysters just melted in my mouth like butter after eating it!" Whis didn't miss a single word to describe just how delicious the food was.
Bulma, on the other hand, was gorging on the meal in an unladylike manner. She was too engrossed in her meal that she forgot people were watching her.
After the meal, Whis and Bulma were still looking for more. The deliciousness of the meal made them even more hungry.
Hazuki said he had no more ingredients left but Bulma presented him a ton of different ingredients.
They forced Hazuki to cook until they were satisfied. Vegeta tried the food and immediately sat down beside Bulma to eat.
Two hours later, the three of them were finally satisfied. Their stomachs were inflated and they had an intoxicated look on their faces.
After seeing their state, Hazuki shook his head with a smile and left the place for quite some time then came back a few minutes later.
When he came back, the three of them were already seated very properly but they have wide smiles on their faces.
"Ah, that was a very wonderful meal indeed! I have never tasted anything so delicious like that before!" Whis said. He still couldn't get over the meal he just had.
Bulma was also entranced by the meal and was looking at Hazuki with an intense gaze. "Kid! Work as my chef! I promise you will receive everything you want!"
"That's no good, Bulma-san. This young man is going to train with me." Whis immediately interrupted. If he trained this kid, wouldn't he cook for them every day?!
Vegeta was silent since he was training under Whis too, he will be able to taste that food every day too.
Bulma was speechless and disappointed. She couldn't fight over the kid with Whis, right? This was the god of destruction's master we are talking about!
"Young man, I accept to train you in Beerus-sama's planet. Vegeta-san, prepare everything you need. We will depart in an hour.." Whis declared. He wanted to go home as soon as possible and let Beerus taste the food made by Hazuki.
"Oh, that's right! What is your name?" Whis asked. He forgot about asking the young man's name because he was too engrossed in his meal.
"Hazuki, my name is Hazuki Hayate, Whis-san." Hazuki said.
Bulma engraved that name in her mind. Since she couldn't really call this great chef by 'kid' all the time, right?
"Hazuki, was it? Prepare as many ingredients as possible too. Beerus-sama has a very big appetite." Whis said.
"I can't, Whis-san. I don't have money on me..." Hazuki said.
Whis was stunned and stared blankly. 'No money for ingredients..?' then he turned to Bulma and said.
"Bulma-san! Can I trouble you to prepare as many ingredients as possible? If you can do that, I promise I'll protect the earth from Beerus-sama!" Whis said, flustered.
Although Bulma was quite disappointed in losing a great chef such as Hazuki, she was overjoyed after Whis promised the earth's safety.
She immediately ordered her employees to prepare as many ingredients as possible.
Two hours later, the ingredients were finally prepared. They were placed in capsules made by Bulma's company itself.
Vegeta also brought as many instant noodles as possible with him.
Soon, Hazuki and Vegeta grabbed Whis shoulders as they prepared to travel towards Beerus's planet.
Whis tapped the ground using his staff twice. Suddenly, Hazuki felt powerful inertia threatening to throw him out. He grabbed onto Whis's shoulder tightly to resist the inertia.
Half an hour later, Hazuki and Vegeta arrived at Beerus's planet.
It was an inverted pyramid-shaped, floating island that has a single, huge tree in the middle of it.
The three of them landed in a flat-surfaced tree that seems to be designed like a helipad.
A staff with a bowl on top of it was already there before they even arrived.
"Oh? Who's that kid behind you?" A fish on top of the said staff asked Whis.
"He's named Hazuki and this man is Vegeta. They are both here to train under me. Is Beerus-sama asleep?" Then Whis walked towards the door at the end of the branch.
"No, he's already awake. He just woke up a few minutes ago." Oracle fish said.
"Oh, that's good," Whis said. He was anticipating Beerus's appearance after tasting Hazuki's food.
Whis led Hazuki and Vegeta to a building attached to the great tree. After they arrived there, Hazuki immediately sensed a powerful presence.
'That must be Beerus...' Hazuki thought.
They arrived in a room that looked like a dining table, Beerus was there with an irritated look, eating a dried sardine.
"Whis, where did you go?" Beerus asked.
Whis was put in a tight spot. "I came to earth to pick up these two. They are here to train under me."
Beerus observed Vegeta and Hazuki, with him observing the latter more keenly.
"Who's this?" Beerus said as he pointed at Hazuki. He already knew the Saiyan beside him after all
Whis was excited as he introduced Hazuki. "Beerus-sama, this is Hazuki-san! A very great chef!"
Beerus squinted his eyes as he stared at Hazuki. "A great chef? Let me see it, if he's not as good as you said he is, I will destroy him.."
"Don't worry Beerus-sama, Hazuki-san's cooking will surely satisfy your taste!" Whis said.
Then Hazuki was forced to cook once again. He opened the capsule containing the kitchen then started cooking. He made Zuppa Di Pesce once again.
After cooking it, Hazuki presented it to Beerus, who's already drooling from the smell.
Beerus tasted it, and almost immediately, he felt the most wonderful sensation ever. It was even greater than the satisfaction when he destroyed things in the universe.
Beerus felt he might even become a benevolent god of destruction after this. He gorged on the food and emptied the whole pot of Zuppa Di Pesce made by Hazuki.
"*Cough*.. I admit you really are a great chef and I allow your stay here. But, you are going to be responsible for my meals from now on!" Beerus said.
"No problem, Beerus-sama," Hazuki replied.
After eating, Beerus looked relaxed, even his tail was wagging side by side indicating his good mood.
Whis then guided Hazuki and Vegeta around. He introduced every facility on the planet and assigned their tasks from now on.
They are in charge of the planet's maintenance such as, taking care of the garden, Cleaning Oracle fish's bowl, Cleaning Beerus's residence, and most importantly, they are in charge of keeping Beerus's bed sheet clean while he sleeps.
After all those chores, Whis will start to train them.
Vegeta was flabbergasted by the chores. He's here to train, not to become a housekeeper!
But he could only hold it in because this was Beerus's planet. He would die once he irritated Beerus.
Whis then had them rest for the day. Tomorrow was the start of their real suffering.
Whis led Hazuki and Vegeta towards their living quarters. They are sharing a room in one of the buildings attached to the great tree.
"This is your living quarters. Each of you will take a bed, the decision is yours on how you will share the room." Then Whis walked away to accompany Beerus.
Hazuki and Vegeta stared at each other.
"I look forward to training with you, Vegeta-san." Then Hazuki extended his right hand towards Vegeta.
Vegeta harrumphed, he turned his head away and didn't reply but he still grabbed Hazuki's outstretched hand.
'What the heck are you? A tsundere?' Hazuki smiled wryly at Vegeta's attitude.
That night, Hazuki was tasked to cook once again until Beerus and Whis were satisfied.
-----The next day.-----
Both of them were woken up by Whis at 6 am.
"Wake up, the two of you. You need to start doing the chores now, or you won't receive training.." He said. Then he walked away after seeing both of them awaken,
Vegeta and Hazuki hastened their movements and immediately came out of the house. Both of them followed after Whis and arrived at Beerus's bedroom.
There was a giant snake statue with an hourglass between its mouth in the middle of the room. Many hourglasses surrounded by a thin membrane are also floating around the room.
"Don't touch these hourglasses, they would explode upon contact. There, you have to change Beerus-sama's bed sheet and pillow." Whis then pointed upwards. There was an inverted pyramid-shaped boulder, housing Beerus's bed.
Hazuki and Vegeta levitated in order to see what state Beerus was in. They saw him in a weird sleeping posture with a smile on his face.
Hazuki created many Shadow Clones and had them carefully raise Beerus's sleeping figure up.
Beerus didn't even move an inch.
'Beerus-sama's sleep is more comfortable now. He also adjusted his alarm, meaning he must be feeling good.' Whis thought. He attributed these changes to Hazuki's cooking. Beerus's sleep became longer and he also became milder when sleeping.
Soon, Hazuki and Vegeta finished the task.
"Then, we'll go onto the next task." Whis then led them outside. He gave both of them cleaning tools then said. "There, clean this tree supporting Beerus-sama's home."
"Can I ask for more, Whis-san?" Hazuki asked for more cleaning tools. The tools he was given definitely isn't enough for all of his Shadow Clones.
Whis, of course, agreed and created many more cleaning tools.
With hundreds of Hazuki's clones, the task was easily completed in a few minutes.
All of the chores were completed before 8 am.
"Hazuki-san, that ability of yours is quite helpful, isn't it?" Whis said. He was also quite curious about Hazuki's clones. 'Hmmm. These clones are the same as Hazuki-san. And Hazuki-san's Ki is also shared among them equally. What kind of bizarre technique is this?'
"Then, let's start the real training." Whis then led the two of them to the outer part of Beerus's planet.
The pavement there was made by a pink violet-colored jade.
"Now, you two would have to carry these...." Whis then manifested two large stone blocks.
"And run a lap around the planet. You have to insert your arms in here and carry it." he pointed at the top part of the block where a separate stone was attached.
"Easy," Vegeta said as he inserted his arms to the holes atop of the Stone block. He exerted force but it didn't even budge a bit. "What?!"
Vegeta and Hazuki did their best to lift the stone blocks up. With great effort, both of them were able to raise it a few centimeters above the ground.
"Careful now, if you don't start running, the path will disappear," Whis warned.
The pathway behind them suddenly disappeared. Both of them exerted all of their strength and moved forwards slowly.
"If you fall off the path, you'll be thrown into another dimension, and be unable to ever return."
Vegeta hastened his movement and overtook Hazuki. Hazuki, who's physically weaker than Vegeta, was left behind, trying hard to advance as fast as he could.
The pathway, right behind Hazuki, disappeared. Hazuki urged himself to move forward faster but his body was not catching up.
Suddenly, Hazuki felt the ground beneath him disappear and he fell.
"Woah..!" Hazuki's surprised voice resounded in the place. But before he can totally fall, he was caught by Whis, who made a floating platform beneath him.
"Now, now. I definitely can't let our chef disappear..." Whis said.
"Hazuki-san, you would've disappeared from this place if I didn't save you in time. Because of that, you have to make 2 laps instead of 1." Whis said.
Hazuki doesn't really have a problem with it. He stepped on the pathway once again and started walking. The pathway behind him didn't disappear anymore as if giving him a handicap.
Two and a half hours later, Hazuki finally finished 2 laps around the planet. Vegeta already finished an hour ago and was already meditating with Whis instructing him.
'He's teaching him how to sense the Ki of the gods, huh..' Hazuki thought as he approached Whis and Vegeta.
"Whis-san, I have already finished the task!"
"Good, sit here and meditate," Whis instructed Hazuki about the meditation. Whis said Hazuki must sense the Ki of the gods before they move on to the next part of the training.
They would only do two types of training every day and that is weighted training and meditation.
Hazuki made almost 200 Shadow Clones. He scattered them on the planet and had them enter a meditative state.
"Oh, what is this?" Whis was quite puzzled by Hazuki's actions. But no one responded to him since Hazuki already entered meditation.
That kind of training regime continued until a month later.
While Hazuki was meditating, he suddenly sensed the God Ki around him and unconsciously absorbed it.
Hazuki became elated and absorb massive amounts of God Ki.
*Boom!* Hazuki's body couldn't contain the Ki and suddenly burst.
His bodily muscles exploded, his skin cracked and released a blood mist. Hazuki's whole body was covered in blood. All of his muscles exploded and he couldn't move a single inch.
Suddenly, Whis appeared in front of Hazuki and observed him. "Oh, you already sensed God Ki this quickly? And you even absorbed it.."
Hazuki activated his Six Paths Senjutsu to heal himself. His attire changed into the Six paths Haori and truth-seeking orbs appeared behind him. His wounds and muscles healed in a few seconds until none of them were left.
He can feel himself being strengthened by the Zenkai. That injury actually became a way for Hazuki to become stronger. But he wouldn't repeat this anymore, the pain he felt was so excruciatingly painful. His whole body literally burst due to the God Ki.
After healing himself, Hazuki canceled the form and stood up. "Yes, Whis-san. I have already sensed it."
Then he smiled wryly as he added. "And I unconsciously tried to absorb it too, the result was.. "
Whis was quite intrigued by Hazuki's previous form. The orbs behind him resemble Hakai energy, and the form itself released a powerful aura.
"What was that form, Hazuki-san?" Whis asked.
"Ah, that was my Six paths Senjutsu, Whis-san. While I'm in that form, I can manipulate the natural energy around me freely. I can also use the surrounding natural energy to heal myself." Hazuki said.
"Oh my, you actually had that kind of ability," Whis exclaimed.
"You're very talented, Hazuki-san, to be able to sense God Ki in a month of training. And most of all, you can absorb it too! That ability was exclusive to the Gods!" Whis added.
"You must continue what you are doing. Just don't let God Ki explode your body again. Absorb it in small amounts and integrate it with your body first. After integrating the God Ki in your body, your physique will surely strengthen too." Whis advised.
Hazuki thought about it and what he did earlier was unreasonable. He became greedy for power and didn't think of the consequences of absorbing too much God Ki.
"Yes, I understand, Whis-san! Thank you!" Hazuki bowed and continued his meditation. He didn't train on Ki control anymore since his clones were already doing the task for him.
Vegeta was irked after he saw Hazuki's success in sensing God Ki. 'I wasn't even capable of sensing it and this kid can already absorb it?! This is impossible! How can a stupid brat surpass me?!'
Vegeta couldn't immerse himself in meditation due to the thoughts going around his mind. And this stunted his progress even more.
Whis just shook his head after seeing Vegeta's state. He then focused on Hazuki's figure.
'This kid is a monster... How could he sense God Ki in a month and learn how to absorb it at the same time..? Maybe he will surpass Beerus-sama in just a decade...' Whis thought. Very few mortals can learn how to sense God Ki much less how to absorb it. And Hazuki just defied all of his expectations.
'Let me see just how much of a monstrosity you can become, Hazuki-san...' Then Whis continued to observe the two of them meditate.
Four months later, Hazuki's body has already been tempered by God Ki. He plans to replace all of the Ki inside his body with God Ki. That way, he will be more powerful than normal Ki practitioners.
It was also this time that the supply given by Bulma was emptied.
"Hazuki-san, accompany me, and let's go to earth," Whis said. Even though he just wanted to get food ingredients and doesn't need to go with Hazuki, he couldn't be so heartless to Bulma, who has treated him to different restaurants. So he took Hazuki with him as he headed towards earth.
Thirty-five minutes later, Whis and Hazuki arrived at Capsule Corp.
Bulma was already there and was waiting for Whis to arrive.
"Hello, Whis-san!" Bulma greeted. She then noticed Hazuki behind Whis.
"Wow! Hazuki-san's also here!" she added excitedly.
"Yes, Bulma-san. I brought Hazuki-san here, together with me, to cook for us both."
"Then Hazuki-san, you can start cooking for Me and Bulma-san," Whis ordered.
Soon, the kitchen was prepared and Hazuki cooked a feast for both of them.
Goku suddenly arrived at this time while Hazuki was cooking.
"Whis-san!" Then landed in front of Whis and Bulma. "Heya!"
"Well, if it isn't Son Goku-san. It's been a while." Whis greeted.
"Is Vegeta really trainin' over at your place?" Goku asked.
Bulma was troubled as she stared at Whis. Goku might've found out Whis would come today because of Bulma.
"Indeed, Vegeta-san was kind enough to tell me about especially delicious food." Whis replied.
Goku looked thrilled as he asked. "Do you think I could come and do some trainin', too?!"
"I wanna get strong like Beerus-sama! Please, Whis-san, I'm begging you.." Goku pleaded.
Whis agreed to Goku's request and had him wait until he and Bulma finish their meal.
The food's fragrance wafted through the air and attracted all of their attention.
"Food is ready!" Hazuki yelled as he arranged the feast for Whis and Bulma.
Goku felt the voice was quite familiar so he also looked over. "Hazuki?! What are you doing here? Didn't you leave?"
Goku approached Hazuki, as he did so, he also noticed the food being presented by Hazuki and immediately roused his appetite.
"Hey, Hazuki! Let me eat too, will ya'?" Goku said.
"Sure, wait for a while, Goku-san." Then Hazuki cooked more food for Goku.
Of course, Whis and Bulma wouldn't let Goku touch their food and had Goku wait for his own serving.
