"What just happened?"
"Just... one strike?!"
“You must be kidding, right…?”
"!!"
The Deep Sea King finally came to its senses. It looked at the missing right half of its body, and then at the ordinary black-haired youth in front of it. Its vertical pupils, which were originally filled with brutal and bloodthirsty killing intent, trembled violently. Unparalleled fear of death filled its mind, making its whole body tremble and shake!
dead!
will die!
This guy is a monster, I have no chance of winning at all!
We have to escape!
Run...run!
Deep Sea King finally reacted. With a powerful push of its feet, it escaped through the hole blasted out by Genos like a meteor.
Before anyone could react, the powerful monster that had instilled in them the fear of death had already escaped.
Just as Mumen Rider and Saitama arrived at the disaster shelter, they saw Deep Sea King, who had lost half his body, fleeing from the shelter in terror.
"There's no escape."
Standing in front of the shelter entrance, Ron watched the retreating Deep Sea King's retreating figure, raised his right hand, and casually swung a wisp of ethereal energy sword light from top to bottom.
A dazzling crimson sword light flashed and disappeared in the gloomy world amidst the torrential rain.
The fleeing Deep Sea King was cut in two, and a straight crack a kilometer long appeared on the street!
A massive crack, stretching for tens of thousands of meters, appeared in the heavy clouds of the sky, as if splitting the entire sky in two. The wind and rain subsided, and bright sunlight shone down on the earth through the huge crack.
The sky and earth were bright.
Everyone who witnessed this scene, including Genos and Mumen Rider, stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their minds blank.
Saitama, who had no chance to attack, looked at the crack in the sky and smiled.
"The weather has cleared up."
18. Follow Sweet Mask
"The sky... has cracked open..."
"That's a lie... right?"
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, their bodies trembling with shock.
Some people looked at the tall, slender figure standing in front of the shelter entrance, his back to them, bathed in sunlight, as if seeing a god, their eyes filled with reverence and awe.
With just one strike, he killed a monster that even S-class heroes struggled to defeat. Such strength... is simply too great!
Ron glanced at Jeros behind him: "The rest is up to you."
After saying that, he vanished instantly under everyone's watchful eyes.
The unlicensed motorcyclist stood outside the shelter, pushing his bicycle, staring blankly at the spot where he had disappeared.
"Who exactly is that person...?"
……
soon.
The events that occurred in J City were reported by various media outlets.
[Breaking News! The monster that wreaked havoc in J City has been defeated!]
[A mysterious powerful figure has appeared in J City, defeating a monster that even an S-class hero struggled to defeat with a single blow!]
[Who exactly is this mysterious young man who isn't a hero?!]
[An existence even stronger than an S-class hero...]
……
A mysterious young man who is stronger than an S-class hero, is not a hero, has an unknown identity, and looks like 'Sweet Mask'...
Either one of them is eye-catching enough, let alone the combination of them.
For a while.
People online and offline are all discussing things related to that mysterious young man.
Even the events surrounding S-class heroes and the release of a new album and concert by A-class number one 'Sweet Mask' were completely overshadowed by what happened in J City.
…………
However, this level of attention did not affect Ron's life at all.
Inside Saitama's house in the uninhabited area of Z City.
Ron is playing a game with Saitama.
Saitama said while gripping the controller, "Ron-kun is so popular right now. There's news about you all over the internet and on TV. I heard that a lot of people have become your fans and even created a fan club. That's great... I'm a little envious."
Ron, biting his straw and gripping the controller, stared at the screen in front of him: "I don't really care about any of this."
Saitama scratched his butt and said, "I've defeated quite a few powerful monsters, so why don't I get the same treatment as you? Is it really because of my hair?"
"That's possible, but I think the main reason is that others don't know that you were the one who defeated those weirdos, right?"
Saitama was taken aback: "...Huh? Is that so?"
Ron took a sip of his iced cola through the straw and asked, "Where's Genos?"
"It seems the Hero Association summoned him; there must be something they need him for."
…………
The headquarters of the Hero Association in City A.
Genos and Mumen Rider, who were present at the time, were both invited here.
When Genos and Mumen Rider arrived, they found that A-class Golden Ball and Spring Mustache, as well as A-class number one Sweet Mask, were also present.
Sweet Mask sat in the chair, looked at him and smiled, "Yo, Genos-kun, we meet again."
But the next second, the smile on his face vanished, and he stared at Genos with an icy expression, saying, "It's quite pathetic that an S-class hero was defeated by a mere monster. You should remember what I told you last time, right? If this is all the strength you have, you should step down from your S-class hero position as soon as possible."
"You can give it a try, and also..."
Genos glanced at him and said coldly, "I didn't lose."
Sweet Mask narrowed his eyes slightly.
The two stared at each other, their gazes seemingly clashing like swords.
The unlicensed riders, looking at the two in such a tense atmosphere, were somewhat at a loss.
Golden Ball, chewing gum, asked, "So, what's the purpose of calling us here today?"
Springbeard stroked his beard: "I don't know."
"You guys are supposed to be A-rank heroes, and you couldn't even guess that?"
Everyone looked at Sweet Mask.
Sweet Mask, sitting in a chair with his arms crossed, said coldly, "Of course it's for that guy."
"That rascal?"
The golden ball was taken aback.
Springbeard realized what was happening: "You mean that mysterious powerful figure who appeared in J City?"
"Well said."
A voice came from outside the door, and then two members of the Hero Association entered the room.
A young clerk wearing glasses and a middle-aged clerk with a beard.
The young officer adjusted his glasses and looked at the people in the room, saying, "The reason I invited you all here is to find out the identity of that mysterious expert."
Genos's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
This scene was witnessed by Sweet Mask, who was standing nearby.
After the unlicensed knight described the appearance of the mysterious youth he saw in front of the shelter that day.
Springbeard nodded.
"That's right, he's the one who saved me from the weirdo in Z City that day."
After hearing his exact answer.
Sweet Mask narrowed his eyes slightly.
The two officers exchanged a glance.
The middle-aged officer nodded and said, "It seems our guess was correct. The mysterious person who appeared in J City this time is the same person who was seen in the no-man's land in Z City before."
The uninhabited area of Z city...
