My fist slammed into the punching bag, sending it rocking back and forth on the chain. I sent another punch with my left hand, hitting it dead center. I shook my left hand as I took off my gloves. That's enough punching for now.

"I can't believe you're here and continuing to train." Goku sighed. "It was just a couple days ago you were impaled by that sword and almost died."

"I can't let myself get rusty." I replied.

"You need to take a break." Goku argued.

"...later." I decided.

I can take a break once the threat of the Demon King is dealt with, because I'd rather not have our whole world enslaved.

A gaze trickled on my neck, making cold sweat run down. I glanced over to where Lily was sitting, intensely staring at me.

"What's with you?" I asked.

It felt like she was analyzing me. Ever since we arrived here her eyes have been stuck on me. I'd be worried if she wasn't still in love with Erica.

"...nothing." She replied.

"It's not just nothing, you've been staring at me ever since we arrived here." I argued. "Why aren't you with Erica?"

"Erica's with the others at WcDonalds." Lily answered.

"And you aren't with them...why?" I wondered.

"A favor." Lily stated.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"It's a secret." Lily winked at me.

I gagged.

"Don't gag!" Lily angrily yelled.

"Don't wink at me." I argued. "I thought you were in love with Erica."

"I am." Lily replied. "I was showing you my charm."

"I've told you before, if you want to charm someone you need to grow more." I replied.

"You!" Lily gasped, jumping to her feet. "I could totally charm you! I just didn't charm Erica since she's not into women."

"If she's not into women then why are you still hung up on her?" I argued.

"I...It just doesn't go away that easily..." Lily sighed, rubbing her arm.

O-oh, I wasn't expecting that cute reaction...

Her pointy tail swirled in the air behind her, while her horns slightly poked out from her short hair. She wore shorts and a crop top, exposing a lot of skin.

Sometimes I forget that Lily is a succubus...

"Hey, your face is red. Is something wrong?" Lily innocently asked.

"I-I'm fine." I stated, looking away.

I heard Goku chuckle behind me while Lily just seemed confused. Thank god, or else she'd tease me for eternity.

The doors to the Dojo suddenly slammed open, distracting us. Today was quite the slow day, as no one else was here. Well, until now.

Three delinquent-looking people walked in, marked with tattoos and piercings and mullets. The mullets really didn't look good on them.

I can already tell that this is going to be annoying...

"Goku Taiyou. Your reign ends today." The leader delinquent smugly grinned.

"...what is this bozo talking about?" Lily wondered.

"Bozo?! How dare you?!" He growled.

Goku sighed. "What the hell do you three want? If it's trouble, you might as well turn around. After all, you obviously know who I am."

"We're here to give a message from the Takao Family." He stated, causing both Goku's and my eyes to widen.

The Takao Family?! That means they finally stepped out of hiding, which means the main part of Arc 4 is starting soon!

"Huh?" Lily wondered, confused.

"You bastards." Goku scoffed. "So you finally stopped hiding like pussies, I see."

"You fucker! Don't insult the Takao like that!" One growled.

"I can insult them all I want." Goku replied. "The Takao Family doesn't deserve any respect."

The three delinquents got angrier, their hands clenching tight into fists. Despite this, Goku didn't seem bothered at all.

I wasn't either, and Lily was just confused at the whole exchange.

"I'll fucking kill you." One of them growled.

"I wouldn't try it." Goku replied. "Don't you remember what they call me? The Volcanic Crusher."

"Do you really think you can kill the head of the Taiyou Family?" Goku added, viciously grinning.

"Not now." The lead delinquent whispered to the other two. "Look, here's the message from Mr and Mrs Takao; Give up Amber and they'll spare you and the Taiyou Family."

Goku's eyes flared with rage. Staring into them, it was if hell was staring back. A flaming plane where only death and destruction awaited.

"Fuck you, and fuck those bastards." He growled. "As if I'd listen to that. Go scamper off to your "great leaders' and tell them they've fucked up for their final time."

"Fucker. Fine, you don't want to cooperate? We'll just have to take your head as compensation then." The leader growled.

He flicked his wrist, and the doors slammed open once more as three Lupinus jumped into the Dojo.

"What the fuck?! How did you tame Monsters?!" Goku gasped in extreme disbelief.

Lily stared at the wolves, her mouth dropping in surprise. Monsters couldn't be tamed, it just wasn't possible. Everyone knew that. Yet, these wolves weren't attacking the delinquents close to them.

What everyone didn't know is that the Demon King that rules over these same monsters is trying to break into our world.

In the anime this same event happened. Some of the Takao Family was shown with the power to tame monsters. It's no doubt because of the Demon King, but I'm not sure exactly how he made it possible.

"This is a gift from a family partner. Get him!" The leader delinquent ordered, pointing at Goku. The three car-sized wolves jumped at Goku, snarling in a hungry growl.

Family partner? Definitely the Demon King.

Each wolf was C Rank. For most, this would either be sure death or incredibly damaging. Unfortunately for them, Goku isn't a normal person, nor a normal adventurer.

The first wolves went out in a fiery explosion as Goku stood where it once was, holding his flaming shotgun.

Goku then pointed his Arcana at another wolf, but instead of fire coming out this time two sword shot out at extreme speeds, stabbing into the wolf's head and instantly killing it.

The wolf collapsed to the ground, dead. Goku then grabbed the third wolf by the head, before picking it up and slamming it into the ground, over and over.

As he let go of the wolf, it dropped down to the ground, dead. He had killed it by repeatedly slamming it's head into the ground.

All of us stood shocked at the spectacle. I had never actually seen Goku fight before...

"H-how?!" The leader delinquent gasped.

"These were nothing." Goku scoffed. "You must have forgotten a fact about me. I'm one of the five S-Tier Adventurers in Japan."

In an instant Goku dissapeared, before appearing right in front of the leader delinquent, grabbing him by the neck and choking him in the air.

He was so fast, I could barely even see him move! So this is the speed of one of the strongest!

"I'd kill you, but I'm not like you Takao bastards." Goku stated. "And I need someone to send my message."

One of the delinquents pulled out a knife, trying to stab Goku with it. The knife hit Goku's skin, but never pierced it. In fact, the knife was bent.

"W-what?!" The delinquent gasped, scared.

The delinquent that Goku was choking started to burn blue. He threw the delinquent down onto the ground.

"You three, send them this message. I'll never give up my daughter, and that they'll have to kill me themselves if they want her." Goku growled.

"A-alright!" They stuttered, scampering to their feet and running away, leaving the Dojo with their tales tucked in-between their legs.

"W-woah..." Lily gasped in amazement.

"Yeah..." I agreed with her.

Looks like Arc 4 has finally started. I'll have to reach out to One-Eye to see if he has any information.

It's time for things to get dangerous.
