This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Chapter 455: Tearing Kefla Apart with Bare Hands

"D-Damn it… It's not over yet! It's not over like this!"

Filled with endless unwillingness, Kefla's entire body trembled as she desperately tried to stand up.

"Give it up, Kefla."

"To have reached this level is already amazing. Even I, as your master, am proud of you."

Patting Kefla's spiky hair—somewhat reminiscent of Caulifla's—Yuujin smiled.

He wasn't just trying to comfort her. It was the truth.

Before the Tournament of Power had begun, Caulifla had only just recently awakened Super Saiyan, and Kale couldn't even transform at all. Yet they'd grown steadily, progressed rapidly, and ultimately fused into Kefla—displaying power far beyond both Super Saiyan Blue and Super Saiyan 4.

It was nothing short of a miracle!

But Kefla clearly didn't care about any of that. All she knew was that she didn't want to lose to that bastard Yuujin. She absolutely, absolutely wanted to defeat him!

"I told you—it's not over yet!"

Finally regaining some control over her body, Kefla let out a low growl and leapt like a panther to pounce at Yuujin—but he grabbed her by the neck in an instant.

"I told you too, Kefla—your fight is already over!"

The smile on Yuujin's face faded, and his expression turned cold.

Yuujin genuinely admired Kefla's persistence, but there's a fine line between determination and obstinacy.

And now, despite knowing full well the overwhelming gap between them, she still refused to admit it!

Even Yuujin began to feel irritated. If she kept this up, he wouldn't mind teaching her a painful lesson!

"You bastard, let go of me! Let me go!"

Kefla struggled with all her might, even forming and launching ki blasts at Yuujin.

But attacks of that level couldn't even tickle him. With a cold snort, Yuujin tightened his grip.

"Let… me go…"

"Can't… breathe…"

"Uuuh… uuuuh…"

At first, Kefla could still struggle, but soon even breathing and speaking became difficult.

Determined to teach her a lesson, Yuujin not only refused to let go—he tightened his grip further.

Her strength slowly fading, Kefla's eyes rolled back and her body began to convulse. Eventually, she completely went limp, and Yuujin tossed her to the ground.

By then, Kefla had already suffocated to death—her body no longer emitted even a trace of energy.

"Ah… ahhh…"

The entire arena fell into complete silence. Everyone stood dumbfounded, staring at the scene.

They couldn't believe it—no one could believe it. Yuujin had actually killed Kefla!

Finally, it was the Grand Priest floating above who broke the silence—

"Yuujin-san, the rules of the match forbid killing. I hope you haven't forgotten."

Frowning slightly, the Grand Priest spoke.

From what he knew of Yuujin, the boy wasn't the type to kill for pleasure. Nor did he have any real reason to kill Kefla. Even the Grand Priest couldn't understand why he would do this.

"Don't worry, Grand Priest—I know what I'm doing."

Yuujin smiled slightly, then launched a ki blast at Kefla's body.

"Ha!!!"

With a gasp, Kefla shot upright from the ground, her face pale as she greedily sucked in air.

Her blurred consciousness slowly cleared. Recalling what had just happened, even Kefla felt a lingering fear.

She'd nearly died. She had almost died!

That feeling of being strangled… that choking, suffocating pain… she'd probably never forget it for the rest of her life!

"You… you…"

Lifting her head, for the first time, fear flickered in Kefla's eyes as she looked at Yuujin.

"Thank goodness… I thought Kefla-san had really been killed…"

In the audience, Universe 6's Cabba and the others let out long sighs of relief, but many contestants and gods from other universes were visibly disappointed.

If Yuujin had truly killed Kefla, he would've been disqualified from the tournament. But clearly, someone like him wasn't about to make that kind of rookie mistake.

"Kefla, that was just a lesson. Don't ever act like that again."

"I welcome your challenge anytime—but stubbornly pestering someone even when you know you're no match for them only makes you annoying."

Patting Kefla's cheek, Yuujin said with a smile.

"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Her fear quickly suppressed, Kefla remembered the humiliation she had just suffered. Like an enraged tigress, she roared and lunged at Yuujin again.

Grabbing her arm, Yuujin's expression twitched slightly—

"Looks like all my effort just went to waste. You really don't learn your lesson at all."

"In that case… I'll let you experience it again!"

This time, Yuujin was genuinely angry. Just a measly Kefla? Don't tell me I can't put her in her place today!

Grabbing both of Kefla's hands, Yuujin began pulling in opposite directions.

It was a spontaneous idea—but today, he decided to have a little fun—

The game of tearing Kefla apart with his bare hands!

"You bastard! What do you think you're doing?!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

At first, Kefla didn't understand Yuujin's intent. But when the searing pain hit, even she screamed in agony.

With a cold laugh, Yuujin hardened his resolve to teach her a proper lesson, and his hands applied more and more force—until finally—

RIP!

With a tearing sound, Kefla was split in two!

"KYAA!!"

Inside the energy cage, Rylibeu, Caway, and the other girls screamed in terror. Many contestants from other universes went pale and instinctively shut their eyes.

Good god, what's wrong with this Yuujin?! Didn't he say he wanted Kefla to be his disciple?! Why is he so ruthless with her?!

But after a while, when nothing else happened, one by one the frightened "little lambs" cautiously opened their eyes again.

What they saw on the arena was not some bloody, gruesome scene. Though Kefla had been torn apart, she had merely defused—returning to Kale and Caulifla.

Okay… That damn Saiyan Yuujin had really scared the hell out of them!

"Yo, Kale-chan, Caulifla!"

Looking at the panting Kale and Caulifla, now separated, Yuujin greeted them with a grin.

"You bastard!"

With a roar, Caulifla clenched her fist and charged toward Yuujin.

Releasing a wave of ki, Yuujin's expression turned icy once more—

"What's this? Caulifla, haven't you learned your lesson? You still want to challenge me?"

A chill ran down her spine. Almost instinctively, Caulifla stopped in her tracks.

Though she had returned to normal, she retained her memories as Kefla. Just thinking of the moment Yuujin grabbed her by the neck and nearly suffocated her… Just recalling the moment he tore her in half… Even Caulifla shuddered, her face going pale.

"Call me Master."

Lifting her chin, Yuujin said with a tone that allowed no refusal.

"M-Master!"

Though extremely reluctant, Caulifla eventually gritted her teeth and forced the words out.

"Good girl…"

The aura and frost in Yuujin's demeanor vanished instantly, and he became warm and gentle again—as if that terrifying man from moments ago had never existed.

Caulifla glared fiercely at Yuujin and turned her head away.

No way she'd admit that he had scared her. She was just fulfilling her promise. A temporary concession, that's all.

One day, she swore, she would absolutely defeat this bastard—make him kneel, beg for mercy, and call her Master instead!

Yuujin, of course, knew that Caulifla was proud and feisty, not someone who would truly submit so easily. But he didn't mind. This was just a lesson to get her to accept him as her master for now. He had all the time in the world to train her properly.

"Kale-chan."

Turning his gaze to Kale on the other side, Yuujin spoke again.

"M-Master."

Blushing, Kale timidly said the word.

"Kale-chan's such a good girl."

Patting Kale's little head, Yuujin beamed with joy.

From now on, Yuujin was a man with disciples—Kale-chan, Caulifla—you two will tremble beneath my iron fists, and receive the loving discipline and training of your master!

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

To be continued…

P.S. Okay, I admit it. I watched Dragon Ball Absalon… and the scene where Gotenks got torn in half was pretty hype.
