Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" I shouted, firing a large water dragon at my water clone that I had previously created.

"Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Rat, Boar, Bird, Ox, Horse, Bird, Rat, Tiger, Dog, Tiger, Snake, Ox, Ram, Snake, Boar, Ram, Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Dragon, Bird, Ox, Horse, Ram, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Monkey, Rabbit, Boar, Dragon, Ram, Rat, Ox, Monkey, Bird, Dragon, Rat, Boar, Bird! Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" The water clone had the same idea as me and blocked my attack with its own.

"Ha! Fool! Snake, Ram, Horse, Rabbit, Ram, Horse, Rabbit! Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" I shouted, as I placed the water clone in a water prison, and shot a ball of ki at it, destroying it.

"That's the seventeenth one... now, another! Tiger! Water Style: Water Clone Jutsu! Fight me!" I shouted, out of breath, as I began another fight against another water clone.

"Kamehameha!" I shouted as I fired a Kamehameha at the thirty-seventh water clone today.

'I have to keep on training my stamina, I can't be this weak' I thought, as I prepared to fight the thirty-eighth.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Bring... it on!" I shouted, out of breath with various wounds over my body.

The Water Clone just silently nodded and prepared to fight me, even though they only had 10% of my strength, they still put up a decent fight individually and with over thirty fights, I was getting physically and mentally exhausted, to the point of almost collapsing multiple times throughout the fights.

I eventually beat the thirty-eighth, through pure physical force, by rushing it and smashing its head into the floor multiple times, if it was actually alive, it would've been a gruesome sight, with blood everywhere instead of water.

It's been... god knows how long since I came in here, but I'm able to take on a thousand water clones before passing out.

And I've checked my power level. [500000], I'm around four times stronger than I previously was. So, my clones were also stronger than they previously were.

"When do I get to leave and see Launch again?" I muttered to myself.

At that moment, I heard the door opening up.

"Okay, it's been a day. Hop on out" Mr Popo said, as he opened the door.

"...Finally" I said with a large grin plastered on my face.

"So, was your training fruitful?" Mr Popo asked.

"I'm easily four times stronger than I previously was. I could easily hold Frieza off for a while" I said with a cocky tone of voice.

"You can just hold him off huh? How strong is he?" Mr Popo asked.

"Well, my power level is five hundred thousand and his power level is easily in the tens... to hundreds of millions..." I said with a slightly sombre tone.

"But, luckily he doesn't fight at full power... so, I could hold him off for a while until he actually gets serious..." I said with a small smile.

"Oh... well, your lover is waiting for you," Mr Popo said, as he moved to the left, revealing Launch right behind him.

"Launch? Is it really you?" I asked.

"Yes," Launch looked at me confused for a second.

"Oh thank kami!" I shouted as I hugged her, "I've missed you so much!"

I then began to kiss her.

"Get off of me Tomant, it's only been a day... why are you acting like this?" Launch asked, her face turning as red as a tomato.

"One day out here is a year in there" Mr Popo interrupted.

"Wait... so, you spent a year without me?..." Launch asked.

"Yes," I answered.

"Now I understand..." Launch said, as she pulled me toward her and pressed her lips on mine, "I missed you"
