Opening my eyes I look around and find I'm in a rejuvenation chamber, outside I see Nala sitting on a chair sleeping. Sighing at myself cause I know Nala must've been worried about me because I have never been this badly injured, even when I fought Ice.
Sage-'Next time I should inform her before I do something like this again. She is probably going to give me another lecture about my fighting habits.'
Meditating so I can check how much of a zenkai boost I received, I close my eyes. Checking my body first, all of my injuries are healed and I feel great. Now checking my Ki, I am surprised by the amount my power has increased.
Sage-'Thats such an enormous power boost! That's more than a 10x increase!'
Excited by the huge increase in power, I almost lost control and destroyed the rejuvenation chamber.
Sage-'That was close. Ok, I need to gain control of my new power!'
Calming down I start meditating while focusing on controlling my power. A few hours later, I have finished gaining control over my power, opening my eyes I see Nala is awake. Taking off the mask, I get out of the rejuvenation chamber. Once I'm outside Nala slithers to me, and then she slaps my face. Confused about why she slapped me I look at her for an explanation, only for me to be greeted with a sobbing face.
Nala-"Don't do something so dangerous and stupid again! Don't you know how worried I was about you!?"
Listening to her did make me feel a little guilty about the whole thing, Sighing I apologize to her while giving her a hug and comforting her.
Sage-"Sorry for making you worry."
We stayed hugging for some time before I got uncomfortable, releasing the hug Nala unwraps her body that was wrapped around me. Looking at her she has calmed down and is now smiling, about to ask how long I was out for, she spoke first.
Nala-"Now it's time for your punishment! What type of punishment should I give you?"
Hearing her wanting to punish me, I wanted to reason with her, but she cut me off the moment I opened my mouth.
Nala-"Of course, you don't have to follow my punishments, but I do wonder how far will you get with your training without my support?"
Hearing her threaten me with no more training gear from her made me click my tongue in annoyance but I didn't try to refute her anymore. After waiting for a while, Nala finally decided on what my punishment will be.
Nala-"Ok, I have decided on what your punishment will be. You are forbidden to train for the next week, you must focus on resting and enjoying your life. Life isn't only about training and fighting, you must find other things to enjoy as well."
Sage-"Tsk, Fine."
While it's annoying I won't be able to test out my new strength for the next week, at least the punishment this time was an easy one. Walking with Nala back to our room, I ask her about my coma.
Sage-"How long was I unconscious for?"
Nala-"5 hours, It's the longest you have ever been unconscious for."
Making it back inside our room, I go lay down on the couch while Nala goes back to her science room doing who knows what with runes. Grabbing the remote I turn on the television, flipping between channels to find anything interesting. Even after 20 minutes passed I found nothing even slightly interesting, sighing I turned off the TV and left the room. Walking to the cafeteria I wanted to eat some food hoping that would cure some of my boredom.
Grabbing a huge plate of food, I found a spot to sit and eat. After finishing the food, I looked at the clock hoping a lot of time has passed.
Sage-'It only took me 10 minutes to finish all that food, haa.'
Leaving the cafeteria I walked around the HQ hoping to find something interesting, but sadly even after wasting 2 hours just walking, nothing remotely interesting happened. Walking back to my room, I go inside Nala's room figuring she would be doing something more interesting than what I'm doing. The moment Nala sees me she starts smirking playfully.
Nala-"What's wrong Sage, are you bored?"
Sage-"Hmph! Nope, I just thought that you were lonely always spending time here."
Nala-"If you say so, Just make sure you stay out of the way I'm currently doing experiments."
Ignoring her, I start exploring this huge room picking up anything that catches my eye. Searching for a few minutes I come across a metal ball with a pin attached to it, messing around with it I try pulling the pin and accidentally pulled it off. Nala must've heard me messing around because she turned to look at me and got freaked out.
Nala-"Sage I told you to sto-SAGE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
After she yelled she pressed some button that immediately incased the room in runes, making it glow. After that, she pressed another button that incased her in a cocoon made of runes as well. Confused about why she started yelling when I didn't even do anything serious, I asked her about it.
Sage-"Why are you yell-"
And halfway through speaking the ball I was holding exploded, destroying everything in the room except for the cocoon. Coughing from all the smoke in the room, when it starts leaving through some ventilation system. A minute later Nala comes out of the perfectly fine cocoon and looks around at all the damage that was caused, not wanting to get blamed, I try making it her fault.
Sage-"You probably shouldn't keep explosives just in a box like that."
Hearing my response she looks at me extremely angry before she starts yelling at me again.
Nala-"IT IS IN A SPECIAL BOX NAMED 'DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVES' AND YOU'RE TOO STUPID ENOUGH TO EVEN REALIZE!"
Listening to her, I realize I probably made a mistake. Seeing how she's still yelling at me I decided that it would probably be better for me to leave. Quickly leaving before she stops me, I make my way through the HQ trying to find a place where Nala won't be able to find me.
Flashing around I find an area meant for storage, figuring this doesn't seem like a bad place to hide I go inside one of the rooms. Once inside I look around and the first thing I notice is how massive this room is, it's even bigger than the hangars for spaceships. Making my way through the place I sit down on one of the boxes high up.
Sage-"Haa, What am I going to do?"
That's when I remembered the 3rd wish I got from Porunga, pulling out the compass, I hold it in my hand and watch as the needle starts spinning. Several seconds later it stops spinning and is pointing behind me.
Sage-'Maybe I won't be bored anymore!'
