You've grown to master the morning chores, cutting down the time it takes you to do them in half. Spending more time after tea doing serious training, until one day after tea, when Whis disappears the table he doesn't take you to the edge of the world. Instead, this time he takes you out to a rather peaceful field of flowers by the lake, coming to a stop by the lake and turning to face you.
“You have progressed most admirably, Freeza. And now that your body has been sufficiently prepared, it is time to start training in earnest.” he says, expression growing more serious as he vanishes his staff. Then his arms move, raising his right up to eye level, left at his waist as he brings his right elbow down, fist-out towards you while his left moves to just below his right elbow. Drawing his left up inside, bringing it over his right as he lowers that arm, left palm facing towards him as he braces his left bicep with his right hand. “Are you ready to begin?”
“Absolutely.” you reply, taking not your usual, more confident fighting stance with your arms spread wide in a gesture inviting attack. Instead you plant your feet, left out front and right back at a 90degree angle, knees bent as you raise your left arm, forearm vertical out before you as you pull your right in to your hip, loading up your right fist to strike. The very same fighting stance you learned from Karn back during your time training with him, all those years ago. And as you and Whis stare each other down, for just a moment you send a quiet 'thank you' to Karn for all he's done for you. For without him, you would never have embarked down this path to power. As you think of him, your friend and all the two of you have gone through, you do as he would have done in this situation. Exploding off the ground, you dash headlong at Whis, facing this challenge head-on and without hesitation! “SHYAAAAAA!!”
