Today is Thursday. Yesterday you had your first spar ever in your life. On your schedule today the workout was cut short. The reason behind why is because you have to spar with Hercule again. Videl and you meet up with Hercule again. Hercule was wearing a coaching outfit? Or at least you thought it was one.

"Alright kid, yesterday sparring was to see what your made of." Hercule explained. "For having never fight in your life, you're not bad but not the best." You watched as Hercule puts on some padded gloves. "Now try striking the glove." Hercule instructed. You strike the glove one time with the tips of your fingers. "Again!" He instructed. You try striking again but Hercule moves one the gloves around quickly out of your attack. "Again!" You tried again, only for Hercule to move the glove again. "Attack faster! Again" Hercule instructed. Moving with your body you striked at Hercule's glove with a fist. Just as he was moving the glove, You striked with your other hand hitting your target. "Good! Now try again." Hercule commanded. For the next hour Hercule tested and improved your speed and striking power. You switched from jabbing with your fingers to fists. Hercule was now moving his hands around with rapid speed. After a full hour passed, you could finally land hits and keep up with Hercule's rapid hand movements.

"Good your improving very fast" Hercule said complementing you. Videl walked up and gave you some water. You didn't realize it but keeping up with the hand movements for an hour built up a serious sweat. "Thanks Videl." You thanked her. "No problem, the next exercise may get a little more tricky." Videl said giving you a heads up. The next part of the exercise was to try striking the gloves, but Hercule will use rapid speed to try and keep the gloves away from you. Both of you started at opposite sides of each other. You rushed at Hercule to jab the gloves, only for him to use rapid movements to put distance between you two. "Try again!" You heard Hercule yell. You rushed at Hercule, only to end in the same results. "If you can't use your speed to it's full potential then you just give up!" Hercule taunted. You rushed at Hercule again faster then before, but still not enough to get close to Hercule. You begin to tire "Maybe the Z fighters are right, you are a weakling!" Hercule taunted again.

You took a deep breath "I.. am... not.. a... weakling!!!" You yelled as you vanished in a blink of Hercule's eye and unleashed a barrage of strikes, kicks and punchs at Hercule's hand. Hercule tried his best to keep his distance, only for you keep up with him and send a barrage of attacks following each rapid movements both you performed. Hercule began to tire, but your attacks kept coming after each movements. Hercule couldn't hold on anymore and ended up being pelted in the body a few times for slowing down. "Ahhhhh!" Hercule said as he flew backwards in the arena. You stopped realizing you broke through Hercule's defense. "Hercule are you ok!?" You shouted worried. Hercules stuck up hand weakly, giving a thumbs up for a few seconds and then his hand fell back down to his body.
"Wait didn't Hercule have padded gloves on!?" You thought to yourself. Observing the ground, you see pieces of padding and plastic around the arena. Unknown to Hercule and you, the gloves begin to tear with each of your hits by using rapid movements. A voice snapped you out of your thoughts. "Daddy!" Videl shouted worried as she rushed to Hercule's side. She helped her father up. "That's some serious power you have there kid." Hercule admitted. Hercule was hurt, everyone could tell by him wincing every time he tried to stand up straight. Videl helped her father stand up. "Great job Y/n, you managed to move at rapid speed and break through my dad's defenses." Videl said praising you. "And not only that you managed to destroy the gloves I was wearing." Hercule added.

After that Hercule had to call it a day, since it hurt him to even move. Although that didn't stop you from staying outside with Videl to train. Videl watched as you made rapid strike movements. Trying to develop techniques to use for future sparring. Videl would see you rapidly move around the arena striking, kicking and punching. A few times you jumped in the air, performing a fast combo before falling back to the ground. Videl chuckled at your movements. "What's so funny?" you asked Videl. "Oh nothing." Videl answered. "It's just funny how much you improved in four days." She told you. "In four days you were able to knock the wind out of my dad. Which is impressive for being an earthling." You smiled as you walked towards Videl. "I wonder...." You asked yourself. Videl wondered what you were thinking of, she soon found her answer as she was picked up and held up on one your shoulders. "Hey! Put me down!" She yelled at you. "Hey look, I can pick you up!" You joked as Videl blushed and shot a dagger glare at you. You thought she looked so adorable. "Are you sure you want down?" You asked Videl. Her face quickly change from panic to calm. "Not really, but only because you forced me onto your shoulder, it's only fair you carry me in the house as punishment." Videl said as if she actual punishing you. In reality she was only joking, but she did enjoy being held by you.... even if you used only one arm. "Oh well fair is fair." You agreed with Videl. As you walked in the mansion with Videl in your arms. She snuggled a little closer to you, enjoying your embrace. "I wish I had the courage to say I love you." Videl thought to herself.

After sitting down to eat, you were reminded that Bulma was coming back to see your progress on training. Videl also said Bulma will also give you another a power level reading since last time. That will show you how much you improved in a few days. At night, you were so excited that you learned to move rapidly. "I'm one step closer to my goals. Next was to beat in an actual match. You wondered what tomorrow held for you as you fell asleep.
