As soon as the final remaining qualification match concluded the remaining 8 warriors were called into a room.
"Ugh. Stinky." Goku yelled out when a large man approached him.
Not only Goku but also the people who were around him covered their noses and backed away when the man was near them.
"Want some," I asked the lady who was near me as I showed a small container containing an ornament that had a strong herbal odour.
"Really. Thanks. What a gentleman." She said as she prepared to snatch the ornament.
"That will be 2000 zeni," I said to her.
"That's daylight robbery. Your ornament container is not even as big as my fist." She replied as she showed her small fist.
"But the herbal odour is strong enough to ignore his smell. And it's not unpleasant." I continued.
"You are right. My perfume is not enough to prevent his horrid smell. Fine, here take the money." she said as she handed some money into my hand and grabbed the ornament from my hand.
At that time a blonde man who was wearing shades arrived while holding a file.
"Participants. Please gather yourself up." He said.
When the smelly man approached the man was forced to tell the smelly man to go back to a corner.
Even Master Roshi who was disguised as Jackie Chan was unable to bear his smell.
I should have brought more than one ornament. I thought in my mind. I was not planning to sell the item and only planned to use it until the man with the horrible smell was eliminated. So I didn't take an extra ornament.
But still, I made some money. I could get a decent meal with this amount. I thought as I looked at the money that the woman gave me.
"Now then, in order to determine the order of the battle as quickly as possible we will use a lottery. Once your name is called up please come up and pull a number." The blonde man said.
"Excuse me I want to fight this young woman." Jackie Chan said as he dragged the only woman in the competition by her arm.
"Let's not be unreasonable here sir." the blonde man said.
"Ok. Then let's call the name. Umm, Kei Satori-san." He called out my name.
"It's weird hearing someone addressing me politely." I said as I put my hand in a box that the tournament organisers prepared and pulled out a paper.
"Six," I replied after looking at the number.
"Then you will be in battle three." The blonde man said.
"Next is the Monster Gilan-san." he continues with the lottery.
The result was that Krilin had to fight the smelly man named Bacterian in the first battle.
Yamcha was unluckily picked as the opponent for Jackie Chan in the second battle.
The winners of those two matches will be matched in the semi-finals.
Battle 3 was between me and the woman called Ran-fan.
And the fourth battle was between Goku and the monster Gilan.
I was happy with the lottery. The first battle was a free win. And if nothing goes wrong I would meet Goku in the semi and Jackie Chan in the finals.
Not having to face other combatants apart from the two necessary opponents was an ideal situation.
"All the battles have now been decided. The battles will be held in one round at a time with no time limit. If you fall off the stage of saying anything like I yield will automatically eliminate you. If you are lying on the ground and unconscious and we deem you as unable to fight we will start a countdown of ten seconds. If you are unable to demonstrate that you can still fight you will also be eliminated." the blonde man carefully explained.
"You can't use weapons and you can't target delicate body parts such as eyes or your private area." He continued.
"Hey. What are private areas?" Goku asked.
"Forgive my unrefined language but your balls."
"Goku. Let's try our best and meet at the finals." Yamcha said to Goku.
I wonder if the gods of this universe hate this guy. I thought as I knew that there was no way he was making it to the finals since his first opponent was the one with the highest odds of winning the whole thing.

In the audience stands.
"Do you think he will win?" Spike asked Fortune Teller Baba.
"He should be able to if this was just a normal tournament. But with my brother participating it's become a little bit hard to say." She replied.
"And the two kids and the other teen who is around his age seem to be hard opponents. If he has to face three powerful opponents in a row he will surely lose." Baba answered.
"And even then I don't think he is stronger than my brother. He has to outsmart him if he wants to win. But that should not be too difficult." Baba said.
"So you are not very optimistic," Spike said.
"I don't think so. If he fails that means he will have to find another way to pay her back. Our great employer would be able to slave him around for much longer." Bandages said Spike.
"Don't get me wrong I would like the prize money but when I saw how much he was able to improve in such a short I think him losing this tournament would be able to bring much benefit to me than getting the prize money." Baba replied truthfully.
*****
The first battle concluded anticlimactically as the smelly man was not strong.
He was quite weak.
He was only able to utilise his smell but Krillin's superior endurance allowed him to last long enough and make a threat that caused him to back down from the fight.
*****
The second battle lookes humiliating for Yamcha as it was a quick battle and he was not even able to land a single hit to his opponent.
But the truth is even Master Roshi was more than powerful enough to overwhelm him without any difficulties.
But because Master Roshi also wanted to guide Yamcha he showed part of his real strength and also told him about the mistakes that he made during the fight.
Under the identity of Jackie Chan of course.
