(Three weeks later)
Somewhere in Satan City's residential district, far out of the way of any large office buildings, factories or complexes, a familiar young demi-Saiyan could be seen hard at work.
Dashing about from level to level at super speed, dressed in a white shirt, workman pants and boots, the spiky haired form of Son Gohan was currently making cracking progress on his latest assignment. Having already assembled the frame of the two story building and already beginning construction on the walls of the small complex, you could see how in tune the young adult was with his project. With agility and determination mirroring that of the Energizer bunny, the demi-Saiyan darted about the property carrying out his numerous tasks in rapid succession.
One second he was flying up to the top level bringing tools with him to continue work on the floor plan and the next second he was running about carrying enormous pallets of bricks and mortar. Not only that, but he also had a couple of copies of himself helping him out in other areas of the job that needed filling, including assemblage and management.
Standing off to the side and watching his other three clones move around with Barry Allen-like swiftness, another copy of Gohan was presently looking through a total station, surveying the construction process from a distance and making sure all of the elements were falling into place. What with how fast he was actually building the house, he needed someone of equal speed, knowledge and skill to watch over everything.
Humming to himself as he checked the building against the blueprints on the table next to him, the Gohan clone smiled and gave his copies an okay sign. "Nice work guys. Keep it up. We're making great progress." Receiving a wave from the copy transporting stuff around the site, the demi-Saiyan then allowed them to return to their tasks while he returned to his checklists and documents.
He was currently running his own clock. Though the bosses at the company had given him plenty of leeway to finish building the house in the next month, he was confident he would be able to do it in a week… maybe even less. His competitive, Saiyan-side practically demanded it.
That of course all depended on whether he wanted to stay for a couple extra shifts.
Over the next hour, Gohan and his copies moved about the site like clockwork. Keeping track of the building as it assembled piece by piece like watching a lego house being constructed in fast forward further illustrated just how quickly the half-Saiyan and his crew of three were working. Since the super powered teenager had everything he needed for that day right there in his front yard, putting it all together was as easy as baking a cake.
The house that the spiky haired architect was going for was a two-story, modern day contemporary style house with a wrapping façade, complete with steel panel siding, trespa woodwork on the exterior with ebony black beldon masonry, and square glass paneling. Gohan was also certain to make the garage door flush with the exterior of the house, with easy access to the front entrance from the driveway. It was a very trendy design that the higher ups really took a liking too and asked if he could personally get this done for them. This being a hobby for the demi-Saiyan as well as his job, there was no way he could turn them down on a request like that.
As the youngster was continuing work on the exterior at high speed, the clone on the ground running about and checking the framework suddenly became aware of another presence in the area and turned his attention towards the road. When he did, he saw a short, portly man in a suit and a hardhat standing there with a clipboard under his arm.
Quickly recognizing him as one of his managers and coworkers, Gohan smiled and quickly jogged over to him. "Hey, Sanada-san. What's going on?"
"Hello, Gohan. Just dropping down from the office to check on your progress. Nothing big," the man replied pleasantly, tipping his hat up so that he could inspect the structure properly. A murmuring sound of approval escaped his lips shortly afterwards once he inspected the building from top to bottom, "Not bad. Not bad at all."
"Yeah? You think so?" Gohan asked, stopping alongside the manager and gesturing towards the half-finished home. "I wanted to go for a more rustic feel on the outside, but a lot of buyers nowadays are looking for a more modern day home with a crisp, rich feel to it. So I stuck with a Taylor & Smyth approach and went for the full package; flat roof, square paneling and cool woodwork that doesn't compromise the overall design." Placing his hands on his hips, the youngster turned to grin at his compatriot in the industry, "What do you think?"
Sanada chuckled at the teen's enthusiasm as he began walking across the yet-to-be-tended-to front yard to continue his inspection from another angle. Along the way he swung out his clipboard and began jotting down some additional notes, "You definitely know what you're doing, I will say that." He then used a pen to point up at the other copies Gohan had scattered across the property. "I see you've got your trusty crew of you running around again doing all the heavy lifting."
The man had obviously become used to seeing the super-powered martial artist utilizing the cloning technique to help him out with the construction, which was why he wasn't gawking at how there were four Gohans in the area as opposed to one.
His remark had the teen laugh a little, "As long as they get the job done. Even though I don't use this ability often, it's still one of the most useful skills in my repertoire."
Nodding his head as he moved around the structure, analyzing the framework and checking out the outer walls, Sanada then stopped a couple minutes later and turned back to the enthusiastic worker. "Everything's looking good on the outside. I can see you're keeping to the timetable we'd set for you, but it seems like you've got your own timetable running, yeah?" Slipping his clipboard under his arm, he then pointed towards the building. "I wouldn't mind checking out the interior to see how you're going on the pipes and wiring, if you don't mind. Since you're already about halfway done on the outside…"
"Sure. I'll show you around," Gohan said, beaming vibrantly as he then led the man towards the building and up the stairs. "Just watch your step. I haven't finished work on the top level yet and some of the floor panels are missing."
"Fair enough. Proceed."
And so the inspection continued, with Gohan giving his most regular visitor from the company the full tour of his structure to show him just how much he'd already gotten done. It was a pretty standard walk all the way through. The demi-Saiyan briefed him of what each of the rooms was going to be and how he was going to fit in some of the other hardware and furniture once the interior construction was complete. He also gave him a rundown on all the electrics and plumbing that was already in place.
After about half an hour of surveying the building, followed by a short coffee and lunch break, once he was done showing Sanada the entire bottom floor and all of the second floor of the one-man-marvel, the inspector expressed his thanks and appreciation for the boy's hard work and headed on his way.
This was the only speed bump Gohan had to navigate over the course of the entire day and once his colleague had left the property, he could once again pick up the pace knowing the area was all clear.
