{2 Years and 9 Months Later}
{Age 749}
It has been more than 2 years since I joined the Brief family, and in these 2 years numerous things have happened, so, let me give you a brief overview.
First of all, I am now a full-fledged scientist and work alongside Dad in his lab.
Goku's Space pod has also been completely analysed, and with that, the Capsule Corporation also launched a new series of vehicles based on a new and improved antigravity engine. The engine is not as powerful as the one in the Space pod, but it is more energy efficient than its predecessor.
The energy cell we took out from the Space pod turned out to be a blessing in disguise because not only were we able to create high-capacity energy-efficient batteries, it opened up new paths for two devices that generate electricity.
The first device was Solar panels and we were able to successfully improve them to the point where they can now generate much more electricity than the current ones. The best thing about these new Solar panels is that they are completely transparent, so they can be easily installed in skyscrapers and buildings as a replacement for glasses, and as they are much tougher than glass, they are safer too.
Second, the discovery of new elements, helped Dad to restart an old project he worked on long ago 'The Fusion Reactor', and thanks to those new elements, Dad was finally able to create perfect alloys to help him finish the reactor.
One of the new alloys was perfect to create the coils around the reactor walls, and thanks to this new alloy the high-temperature plasma can be easily confined inside the magnetic fields. The other alloys were used to strengthen and cover different susceptible parts of the reactor.
The reactor is still in the testing phase, but with Government's approval, we were able to set it up on the outskirts of West City, and with that Capsule Corporation is now providing electricity to the entire West City. And because its construction cost us nothing but manpower as I provided all the materials, Capsule Corporation gained massive profits. So, I was promised 40% of the profit gained from the earnings of the reactor. But as I don't have any need for money, I transferred my profits to the CC Mankind Foundation, an NGO founded by Dad shortly after he adopted me. It receives 20% of the net profit earned by Capsules Corporation to help people around the world.
As for the Scouter, after reviewing it Dad found it too easy for him, so he gave it to me to work on, and assigned me to recreate a better model. It took me some time, but I was able to recreate a better model, with a higher scanning capacity, and according to my calculations, this scouter might be able to scan the power level up to 150 Million, and it was only possible because of the new alloys created by Dad, so to increase Scouter's capacity I have to find new elements.
And finally, for the Clothing and Armour, Bulma took just a day to develop a better synthetic fabric, that is both water resistant and dustproof, has breathability and temperature control, and has higher tensile strength than the original. It was also the same case for Armour, she developed a better and stronger material for the armour the next day.
After Bulma was done with her work, I used that new synthetic fabric and armour material to create a new armour set for myself.
Want to see how it looks, look here.
I also added the newer model of the Scouter to my armour set. This Scouter looks entirely different from the original, it has a big visor that covers the upper half of my face, and the best thing about it is that it can retract back into the earpieces.
Now that the professional part is over, let's move on to the personal part.
My orphanage has been taken over by the CC Mankind Foundation, and all the kids have been moved to the Foundation's orphanage, with this they will now have a better future. Madam Chiyo and Sister Ren have also joined the Foundation, and are responsible for its orphanage. And as the CC Foundation's orphanage is located in the outer periphery of West City, I can go and meet them anytime.
Oh yeah, about 4 months ago, Bulma found the 2-star Dragon Ball.
And because she found something mysterious and magical, the first thing that came into her mind was to barge into my lab to ask me about it.
Let's have a recap of that day.
.
{Flashback Start}
[4 Months Ago]
I was just calmly working in my lab on the engine for my Spaceship when I heard knocking.
.
{Knock}{Knock}
I ignored the knocking as I was working on a very fragile part of the engine.
The person outside the door knocked again, I ignored it again and focused on my work.
.
{BAMMM}
The person who was knocking on the door until now got impatient and smashed through my door.
And because of the sudden disturbance, I lost my concentration and mistakenly broke the fragile part.
"Aghhhh, how many times do I have to tell you not to do that when I'm working," I yelled out in anger.
"Oh come on Arlic, it's not that big of a deal," I heard Bulma chuckling.
"Just… just tell me what you want and leave," I said in frustration, and then fixed my door using magic, "I should have never taught you Telekinesis,"
"Hehe, what's the point in crying over the spilt milk now, you should have thought about this before," Bulma said cheekily.
"What do you want?" I asked as I started fixing the fragile part.
"Hehe, you see, I found this mysterious sphere in the basement of our house," Bulma said excitedly.
"Hmm, and?" I nodded while checking for any hidden crack on the fragile part.
"And as I believe that this sphere is of magical origin, so I came to the only magic man I know," Bulma said sweetly.
"Hmm, and?" I nodded again and started installing the fragile part into the engine.
"So, dear brother, would you please... you're not even listening to what I'm saying?" Bulma started sweetly but got angry when she noticed I was not even paying attention to her words.
"And?" I nodded while continuing my work.
"I want you to help me? Pentz," Bulma said to me.
When I heard what she called me, I stopped doing my work and turned around while sighing.
"Please, stop calling me that," I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"But why, isn't that your name? Pentz Brief," Bulma said and grinned.
"No, it isn't, and you know that," I retorted.
"Aww, but Mom gave you this name so lovingly, how can you be so disrespectful toward her feelings?" Bulma said while shaking her head, but that silly grin never left her face.
"She agreed not to change my name when I explained to her that I like my current name better," I replied with an irritated face, "So, stop calling me by that name,"
"Hehe, never," Bulma replied cheekily, "This is the only ultimate weapon I possess against you,"
"Also, at least now you're paying attention to me," Bulma said grinning.
"I have been paying attention to your words from the beginning, that magical sphere you are holding in your hands is called a Dragon Ball," I said, and turned around to start my work again.
"A Dragon Ball, what does it do?" Bulma asked curiously.
"It is a magical wish-granting object, but, you have to first collect all seven of the Balls and bring them together, then summon the Eternal Dragon Shenron, he will grant you one wish," I explained to her.
"Woah, is what you said true? Can it grant me any wish?" Bulma asked excitedly.
"Yes, it can, I have used them once before," I answered.
"Really? What did you wish for?" Bulma asked curiously.
"I wished for the map of the whole universe," I answered back.
"And the Dragon granted it?" She asked.
"Yes, I know the location of every planet in this Universe, unless they are destroyed by someone or something," I replied as the image of a good-for-nothing Destroyer God, and Space NapolHitler appeared in my mind.
"Amazing, then I will start packing and immediately leave to go searching for these," Bulma said enthusiastically and ran toward her room.
'I don't think Mom and Dad will let her go in the middle of the school term,' I thought and chuckled.
.
{Flashback End}
[Present]
And, as I had predicted, she was denied by Mom, to go Dragon Ball hunting in the middle of her term.
By the way, that name, Pentz Brief, please forget about it. (╥﹏╥)
Okay, let's return to our summary.
During my learning period under the senior assistant of Dad, I went through many elements, as Dad believes more in practical experience, rather than just theoretical knowledge. So, when I came across multiple elements, I took that opportunity and created a new magical technique that can help me completely analyse any element or material. Thanks to this technique, I can replicate anything once I analyse it.
The Spaceship that I have been working on is also almost complete. Because I had a lot of spare time, I made it with my hands. I only used magic to create the materials, apart from that it's completely handmade.
By the way, if any of you are worried that I didn't focus on training at all because I was busy doing all these things, then you're wrong. I kept the Gravity magic cast on me while living my life normally. It was not an effective method for training, but it kept my body in shape. And during these 2 years, I reached 45 times the gravity of Earth. I know it isn't that much, but it's because I didn't train at all. I reached this point as an aftereffect of the continuous usage of Gravity magic.
Oh yeah, there should be another question in your mind, it got mentioned that I taught Bulma Telekinesis. Well, yeah, I did, and not only did I train her in Telekinesis but conjuring magic, transmutation magic, and energy shield as well.
It took her one whole year to perceive magic, so, yeah, she's a lazy cat when it comes to training. This is also the reason she is still weak, well only if we talk about Martial Artists, but with a power level of 30, she is strong enough to protect herself against normal people.
.
{Knock}{Knock}
'Huh, who is this? I was in the middle of a summary, I even hung a do not disturb card outside, well, it's over anyway, so, let's go and open the door,' I thought and started walking towards the door.
.
{Knock}{Knock}
"Yes, I'm coming, geez, calm down will ya," I shouted at the impatient girl.
I opened the door and as I had expected, it was her.
"What is it, Bulma?" I asked Bulma who was standing outside my door, ready for an adventure, looking at me sweetly.
"I just came to meet you before I leave for the adventure," Bulma said with a sweet smile.
"Just tell me what you want, I am well familiar with that smile of yours," I said with a raised eyebrow.
"Hehe, as expected of my Big Bro, can you please take me to Dr Omori's Island,"
"I am not your Taxi, Bulma, go take a plane or something," I said and was about to close the door when Bulma pressed her hand on the door and blocked me from doing it.
"I know that, but I want to reach there soon, so I am asking you to take me there," Bulma said with a sad tone, "I had informed them that I'll be there in half an hour, and 10 minutes have already passed,"
I sighed and nodded, "Fine, I'll take you there, let's go outside,"
We went to the balcony, and there I first created an energy shield over Bulma, and then while holding her with my Telekinesis, I took off towards the Island of Dr Omori.
.
{15 Minutes Later}
After travelling for 15 minutes, we were about to reach the Island. Dr Omori's Island is outside the East City in the Sea. It's a small island where Dr Omori lives with two others.
As we reached the island, I saw four people standing at the pier waiting for us. The four of them were Dr Omori, Tights, an unknown man, and an Ultraman wannabe.
I landed on the pier and helped Bulma land beside me. I looked ahead and saw Dr Omori walking toward us to greet us.
"Hello, little Miss Bulma, it's great for you to come to meet us," Dr Omori greeted Bulma.
"And you must be the son of Dr Brief, Pentz Brief, nice to meet you, young man," Dr Omori said with a smile.
"Aghh, BULMAAAAAA," I roared to my left at Bulma.
"Huh, did I say something wrong," Dr Omori mumbled confused
