"This is... a superpower?!"
Genos looked at Ron in utter shock, "You're a superhuman?"
Bang looked at Ron with eyes full of shock.
A superhuman physique, an overwhelming aura of dominance, and such powerful superpowers... Is this guy a monster?!
"That's it. I'm heading back now. You heroes can handle those rocks in the sky, right?"
After Ron finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Only the two people were left standing there dumbfounded, and thousands of pebbles floating in the sky above them, like an asteroid belt.
22. Spying in the shadows
The meteorite event in Z city caused quite a stir.
Especially after learning that the one who shattered the meteorite was not an S-class hero but a newly promoted B-class hero, almost everyone was incredulous.
"So... a B-class hero saved Z-City? Really?"
"They must have used some trick. Even an S-class hero couldn't handle a meteorite, how could a B-class hero possibly do it?"
"Moreover, that person only shattered the meteorite. If someone hadn't intervened, our city would still have been destroyed by those meteorite fragments."
"That's right. That B-class hero didn't save Z City at all. The one who saved Z City should be that mysterious superpowered person!"
"But he did break the meteorite. If that meteorite had fallen, Z City and we would probably be gone by now..."
The online discussion was heated.
Some people thanked Saitama, but many more voiced their doubts.
Besides that, people are curious about the identity of the mysterious superhuman who made the meteorite fragments hover above the city.
At first, many people suspected that it was 'Tornado of Terror' who did it, but after Tornado spoke out to clarify that she was not the one who did it, the identity of that person became even more intriguing.
…………
this day.
The uninhabited area of Z city.
"Is this the ghost town...?"
Sweet Mask, wearing sunglasses, walks down a dilapidated street.
He came to investigate the identity of the "Sword Master".
"What a terrible place! Would anyone really live here?"
Sweet Mask walked down the street, looking around as she went.
He soon arrived at the street where Springbeard and his friends had encountered the seaweed monster.
He walked up to the bottomless pit.
"That's right, the atmosphere here is the same as in J City..."
"And there."
He then looked at the huge mark left by Genos's incineration cannon, his eyes behind his sunglasses flickering slightly.
Can't go wrong.
These must be traces left by Genos's attack.
He fought with someone here and was at a disadvantage.
With whom?
Is he the eccentric, or is he still the "Sword Master"?
Genos is definitely hiding something.
Sweet Mask's eyes flickered.
Ok?
There was a human presence.
He suddenly turned his head to look to the side.
In the distance, on a street, a casually dressed bald man carrying a bag was walking towards them.
"It turns out today is Saturday, and the supermarket is having a big sale. Luckily I went early, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to buy anything. I'm so lucky."
"Let's treat Ron and the others to some drinks today."
As Saitama walked, he was lost in thought when he looked up and saw Sweet Mask in the distance.
The two were separated by a street, their eyes meeting.
Saitama was taken aback at first, then remembered.
"Ah, it's that A-rank number one hero."
Sweet Mask looked at Saitama and remembered something too.
Isn't that the bald guy next to Genos? He seems to be a hero too.
Was it grade B or grade C?
Forget it.
Anyway, he's just a piece of trash.
It seems we won't find any useful clues today, let's go back.
Sweet Mask, with his hands in his pockets, strode towards Saitama and headed towards the exit.
As he approached.
Saitama looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Are you here to see Genos? It's unfortunate that he's not here today."
Sweet Mask completely ignored Saitama and walked past him without saying a word.
A mere B-level rank isn't worth his attention.
"What? Weren't we here to see Genos...?"
Saitama turned his head to look at his back, somewhat puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions and walked straight home.
Sweet Mask stopped halfway through his journey.
He frowned slightly.
"That bald guy often hangs out with Genos, and he seems to still live here. Maybe he knows something about that [Sword Master]..."
Sweet Mask turned his head to look, but the bald man's figure had long since disappeared.
…………
Suburbs outside of F city
"Wind Blade Kick"
"Sonic Combo Punch!"
"Exploding Shuriken!"
"Cross - Afterimage Kill!"
Sonic hones his fighting skills in the mountains and forests.
There was only one figure in his mind.
After being defeated by Ron with a single punch, he was handed over to the Hero Association by Saitama and Genos, who arrived later. Later, due to Deep Sea King's attack on the city, he escaped from prison along with Sexy Prisoner.
After fighting the Deep Sea King, he retrieved his equipment and rushed back to J City.
But they learned that the Deep Sea King had already been destroyed.
After hearing others describe the appearance of the mysterious figure who slew the Deep Sea King, the "Sword Master," Sonic became certain.
The guy who destroyed the Deep Sea King was the same person who defeated him back then!
His goal became clear instantly.
"Sword Master? I, Sonic the Hedgehog, swear I will absolutely defeat you!"
Sonic's eyes were bloodshot. "Just you wait, I'll make you taste defeat too!!"
He held a sharp blade, his figure flashing through the mountains and forests, leaving behind afterimages.
…………
That evening.
Saitama's house.
"cheers."
Saitama, Ron, and Fubuki raised their glasses filled with chilled beer and clinked them together in mid-air.
"It tastes great. This is definitely the best time to drink beer."
