It was no use trying to talk to Vegeta about anything, he was just going to get a load of crap back from him. Even after he mentioned that, he couldn’t help but think that Vegeta would just brush it off with some excuse that it was just related to exercise. He was annoyed last time with him making complaints about lifting so much so of course he’d get all mad over this. It was just going to be the same old thing with him and if he wasn’t willing to pay much attention to his complaints then he wasn’t going to give any to him. Seeing that Vegeta was not willing to get down and do this all with him at the start he did make a complaint to get him going, eventually getting him to join in with him. The guy was of course complaining about it, but he didn’t care. Finishing off with the crunches he grumbled as he slowly rolled over, pushing himself up to standing. “…What am I to do after this, then…” he spoke, only doing a few squats before remaining crouched, “I feel fine…for now. There’s nothing in here to do dips on either”.

Kiton glanced up to Sasha before sighing, looking away. He didn’t really go to cities or singular planets for exploring unless there was a bounty there so hearing there were good people was very easy to dismiss. Glancing up to her when she dissed his kind he frowned heavily, his eyes going to her hand in a quick glance. There was nothing to say he wasn’t one of those people to them or anyone who knew of his origins over what he was like beyond that, she was just trying to not make him feel bad for insinuating everyone there was wanting to find trouble and be generally bad people on purpose. He knew what it was like to be part of that group and it was often the case that people looked down upon all of them as a collective and saw them as nothing more than a nuisance. He didn’t believe her bias and the insistence that people here were very hospitable to everyone, that kind of thing just didn’t happen. 

Giving Leto an annoyed glance when he decided it was a good enough time to cry over that he sighed and looked away. “Great. I’m sure that all sounded so sweet to the likes of you, but just because you people had nice experiences it doesn’t mean much when you’re generalising everything”, he spoke quickly, throwing his arms up momentarily, “You may have seen the kind of people that hang around there, but deciding to pull me out of the ‘cesspool’ just because you know me is no better than me saying ‘all rebels are selfish socialists only concerned about twisting society into what they want, but you’re not like that at all!’ I mean, how many criminals have you spoken to? How long have you slept in the slums not knowing if you’re going to get food this week? Not everybody has the luxury of space travel to find planets like this! You’ve got to try and survive on your own, keep your wits about you while you’re driven to the desperation that the only way you can survive is by stealing, taking bounties and becoming involved in the black market!” Not knowing if they were even taking any of this in he simply sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “I didn’t choose to become part of all that either. A lot of people who live as criminals can’t help it until it becomes normal for them, a survival tactic. Not everyone knows what it’s like to have no fear with the only worry on their mind being if they’re going to be hungry enough for dinner…”

Krom stared at Takeshi before looking at Shu, sighing as he contemplated how to go about doing this without the kid wetting himself or trying to tear his face off. There was a variety of ways that it could be done, but given Takeshi’s little prompts and the thought Aito would want to get involved made him have to think of a slightly softer approach. The kid was certainly very sensitive and while it would be better getting rid of that aspect he doubted anybody would want that to happen even if it would potentially make the kid stronger. Looking to Aito he scratched at his chin, sighing lightly before turning to face Shu and Takeshi, walking towards them. “You may think I’m cruel, but I’m very much the opposite of those rookies who probably tried to train you, Takeshi, by sending you out against civilians”, he spoke, stopping a few feet away, “I am not like that. I am not lazy. Saiyans do not gain strength from cruelty, we gain strength from hardship and perseverance. A strong Saiyan is one that has focus, will not let their emotions get the better of them and can instead focus their emotions and turn it into power. Now Shu, you are very…’unique’ for a Saiyan. While Takeshi will get angry and gain power, he keeps his senses. Your transformation makes controlling your senses hard and your anger out of control. I want you to still see me as Krom, second in command of the Saiyan army…like you’ve always seen me. I am not your teacher during this, I am your enemy. I want to see you attack me, try to ‘hurt’ me as much as you can. I’m after your brother and I’m going to tear him apart if I get to him”. Moving his feet he shifted into a fighting stance, staring down at Shu. “If you don’t want your brother dying, you will try and stop me as best as you can…”

Shu didn’t know why everyone was okay with this, there was no way he was supposed to be able to do this. Staring up at Krom he frowned and slowly crouched as he came closer, watching him as he spoke like a teacher and yet was forcing him into believing he was the enemy like still. He knew he was the bad guy, but a teacher was supposed to be a good person. Finding it hard to believe what he was saying he looked quickly to Takeshi before back again, frowning fearfully. So he was going to have to protect Takeshi, according to Krom. Raising his arms slowly he stared at Krom, really hoping he wasn’t actually going to try and kill Takeshi. As Krom moved into a fighting stance he squeaked, shaking on the spot before gasping when Krom decided to make a move. Having a moment where he found himself unable to move he quickly decided himself to make a sudden leap at Krom, trying to stop him from getting near Takeshi. Unfortunately it seemed harder than he thought as Krom immediately moved away from his jump, forcing Shu to turn around immediately and jump again but was immediately dodged once more. Feeling frightful, Shu jumped at Krom again this time going for the legs but Krom simply jumped up, kicking Shu in the back and causing him to fall on his face.
