"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, this is about what I expected.
Gray mused, staring over the collection of people who were slowly arriving at the departure area, which was a large open area lined with Saiyan pods. Compared to the time Gray had left for the F-Class mission from this area, there were a lot fewer people and a lot more familiar faces. More specifically: His squad. His team for the S-Class mission.
The first three were obvious: Celia, Tamari, and Asia. All three of the women were far from strong enough to take on an S-Class mission, but they had all at least improved in the recent weeks. Celia was the strongest of the three.
[Survivalist] Celia:
[Saiyan Princess]
Age: 19
PL: 880,250,000
HP: 795,905/795,905
TKI: 12,292,000/12,292,000

[Survivalist] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will do whatever it takes to survive.
Her power level was much higher than it had been before, which was largely a combination of her being in Gray's party on Earth and from her own personal training. But, in the case of Celia…
Her power level is misleading. Her Ki is fuckin' insane, as always. She might actually be the most helpful.
Compared to her low power level, her total Ki was higher than even Gray's - by a lot. The woman wasn't physically all that powerful, but her Ki usage meant she could fight far above her power level. His reputation with the woman had also risen a lot over the past week, which largely came from her jumping him at night for 'fun.' It seemed that academy rules didn't apply when you were the Saiyan Princess.
After her in strength was Tamari.
[Rough] Tamari:
[Sayian C-Class Recruit #20]
Age: 19
PL: 10,250,990
HP: 75,500/75,500
TKI: 39,900/39,900

[Rough] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally talented in "rough" situations, such as training, sports, etc.
Compared to Celia, Gray was a lot more concerned about Tamari coming along. The girl was, to put it bluntly, very weak. She had started going overdrive on her training after the Dareth and Bareth incident, but despite quadrupling her power level over the past couple of months, she was far from prepared for a mission of this caliber.
Her reputation had also gone up quite a bit, which just came from Gray being around the girl more often after returning to Planet Vegeta. He'd also gotten a fair bit before he returned, which he attributed to her missing him. The same was true for multiple of the women standing around him at the moment.
Even Asia will be more help than her.
Asia was a lot weaker than Tamari was overall, but her fighting style was more suited to supporting others.
[Angel] Asia:
[Sayian C-Class Recruit #120]
Age: 18
PL: 3,375,200
HP: 7,200/7,200
TKI: 125,370/125,370
TMP: 0
Reputation: 1,170/25,000 (Loved)
[Angel] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally kind.
Despite Asia having a lower power level, her total Ki dwarfed Tamari's. Tamari was more of a blunt and physical fighter, but that style was nearly useless when they were going to face opponents hundreds of times stronger than her on the mission. By comparison, Asia could just support with Ki techniques in a similar way to Celia. She'd be less of a liability to protect in a fight as well - except her low HP was definitely a problem. Her reputation had gone up the most recently, specifically over the past day, for obvious reasons.
The next two members standing in the departure area were people Gray suspected would be sent but was less certain about. It seemed that King Vegeta did have someone watching over Gray's daily life and reporting about his actions.
[Shy] Raphtalia:
[Saiyan C-Class Recruit #157]
Age: 19
PL: 2,120,980
HP: 14,900/14,900
TKI: 42,120/42,120
TMP: 0

[Shy] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally shy and introverted.
She got stronger.
[Warm] Ochaco:
[Saiyan C-Class Recruit]
Age: 19
PL: 2,990,275
HP: 9,570/9,570
TKI: 95,580/95,580
TMP: 0
Reputation: 700/5,000 (Greatly-Liked)
[Warm] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally warm and kind. They will be caring, warm, soft, and positive.
Both of the women had also become a lot stronger over the past few months, but they shared a similar problem as the one with Asia: Their extremely low HP. At this point, just a single punch from Gray was enough to one-shot either of them, which meant that was also true for other strong opponents on the mission. Ochaco was at least more Ki-based in her fighting, but Raphtalia wasn't.
The final two of the 'probably going' members that Gray had in mind were indeed there, as they rounded out the members of his Earth group.
[Emotional] Asuna:
[Noble Saiyan]
Age: 19
PL: 1,220,770,575
HP: 1,190,850/1,190,850
TKI: 2,250,000/2,250,000
TMP: 0
Reputation: 2,790/10,000 (Slightly-Loved)
[Emotional] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will highly value their emotions, doing whatever it takes to follow them.
First was Asuna, and she was the one Gray was least certain would be sent with him. After returning to Planet Vegeta, he hadn't seen much of the girl at all. As opposed to the other members, she wasn't a recruit anymore and didn't live at the academy. She came to visit the day Gray arrived but said she wouldn't be able to again for a while because of 'family matters.'
Hopefully she figured out whatever the problem was.
Granted, if King Vegeta personally said she'd go on a mission, then the 'family matter' probably didn't matter anymore. Despite not even being a recruit anymore, Asuna was going with him to the S-Class mission.
I can't complain about whatever problem her family had, though.
Gray had been receiving constant reputation boosts over the past week despite not interacting with Asuna directly. It seemed that she missed him more as she was dealing with it, and as a result continued to see him in a better and better light.
She'd also grown a lot stronger recently, which was largely due to being in Gray's party on Earth, along with some personal training she had done.
The other member was expected, though she also wasn't a recruit.
[Masked] Saeko:
[Galatic Sword-Collector]
Age: 19
PL: 797,700,700
HP: 815,220/815,220
TKI: 982,000/982,000
TMP: 0
Reputation: 10,950/20,000 (Loved)
[Masked] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be adept at masking their true personality and emotions.
Saeko also wasn't crazy strong, but she had grown a lot stronger recently. That was partially due to being in Gray's party on Earth, but also partially due to her putting some effort into training recently. Her decent strength combined with her skill with a sword meant Gray viewed her as one of the most useful members of his squad.
The next two were also a bit surprising, as Gray himself hadn't actually talked with the two boys much. He assumed it was because King Vegeta had figured out how they had been protecting his friends while he was gone.
[Determined] Yen:
[Saiyan C-Class Recruit #77]
Age: 18
PL: 5,700,290
HP: 47,635/47,635
TKI: 12,580/12,580

[Determined] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally determined, working toward their goal non-stop.
[Indecisive] Len:
[Saiyan C-Class Recruit #92]
Age: 18
PL: 4,270,290
HP: 38,255/38,255
TKI: 24,500/24,500
TMP: 0

[Indecisive] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally unsure.
Gray didn't know either of them very well, and while he appreciated that they had tried to protect his friends while he was gone, both of the boys were rather weak. Along with that, neither of them were Ki-centric fighters.
They'll be useless. They're meatshields at best.
It was harsh, but also true.
Finally, there were only two other members in Gray's squad, and he hadn't expected to see either of them.
[Rough] Raditz:
[Saiyan Elite]
Age: 29
PL: 652,790,255
HP: 992,200/992,200
TKI: 629,000/629,000

[Rough] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally talented in "rough" situations, such as training, sports, etc.
The former squad captain had become a bit stronger since his last fight with Gray, but not by all that much. He was still a decent help to have on the mission, and his reputation with Gray had risen enough that he at least didn't dislike him anymore. 'Liked' was still pushing it a bit, as Gray thought it was more like 'respected.'
I also don't know why he's being sent with us.
Judging by his title still saying 'Saiyan Elite,' it seemed that Raditz was officially demoted from his Squad Captain position.
King Vegeta must have more eyes on Earth than I thought.
But despite Gray not expecting Raditz to be a part of his team, he still wasn't the most surprising member. That title belonged to a certain muscular woman with a thick rear standing next to him.
[Aggressive] Fasha:
[Saiyan Squad Member]
Age: 42
PL: 395,720,900
HP: 510,550/510,550
TKI: 315,100/315,100

[Aggressive] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally aggressive.
King Vegeta shouldn't know I've even talked to her all that much. What, is he gonna send that Saiyan librarian next because I talked to her once?
After returning to Planet Vegeta, Fasha had only visited Gray once. Apparently, after her 'failure' in her previous mission, which wasn't even her fault as she crash-landed on the wrong planet, she had been forced to take what she called a 'stupid, dumbass, useless training course!'
"Did you get told why you're being put in my squad?" Gray asked the woman as he stood next to her, the group watching as their Saiyan Pods were being prepared.
She's in an elite squad already. Why the hell is she being sent with us?
"The training course," Fasha replied dryly, wrinkling her nose, "Which is damn stupid! It's not my fault that bald bastard messed up my pod!"
"Bald bastard?" Tamari muttered, looking sideways at the woman.
"W-We're… we're really leaving," Asia muttered, staring forward nervously as the Saiyan preparing the final pod stepped away from it.
"We'll be fine," Gray grinned down at her comfortingly, reaching down and taking her smaller hand in his. Asia looked up at him with her cute eyes, nodding as she smiled lightly.
+100 Reputation with Asia (For making her feel better) [4x from [Ladies Man], [A Humble Master]]
Gray ignored the way Tamari looked at the duo weirdly, looking slightly jealous at his action. He let go of Asia's hand, walking forward and climbing into his pod as his team around him did the same.
A moment later, a flurry of Saiyan Pods exploded into the sky, and the S-Class mission had officially begun.
