In Sitch's mind, the image of Han Sen sitting across from him, calmly sipping black tea a few days ago, involuntarily surfaced.
"Mr. Sitch, I'd like to recommend someone to you."
He remembered Han Sen saying that at the time.
"His name is Saitama, a friend of mine and King's."
"His strength... how should I put it, it should be pretty good."
— So, you call this 'pretty good'?
— Is this the world of the strong!?
Sitch complained internally, tears welling up.
He finally understood that Han Sen and King's joint recommendation of this person was not merely a whim.
Instead, they had delivered an immeasurable...
Trump Card! to the entire Hero Association.
Under the shadow of Grandma Shibabawa's prophecy, "The Earth is in grave danger," its weight was immeasurable.
Sitch walked to the giant floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city below, he took a deep breath, his gaze, initially solemn, gradually became resolute.
"Send out the notice."
He turned around, his voice steady and powerful, echoing in the empty office.
"According to the original plan, there's no need for a written examination; it's a special recruitment, and the Hero Class will be set as..."
"S-Class."
The news spread through internal channels, and the entire Hero Association instantly erupted.
Following the strongest man on Earth, another specially recruited S-Class Hero was born!!
(King: Is there a possibility that I was also specially recruited because of Saitama...?)
...
...
Z-City, Central Commercial Street.
A man with long black hair, wearing a blue-purple bodysuit, and a ninja sword strapped to his waist, moved like a phantom through the crowd.
His speed was extreme; ordinary people could only see blurs.
The Lone Ninja, "Sonic."
Suddenly, a scorching orange-red cannon blast flew past his cheek, shattering the signboard of a shop behind him.
"You have the scent of a dangerous individual on you!"
A handsome blonde figure descended from the sky, blocking Sonic's path, his Incineration Cannon still emitting smoke.
His body, composed of alloy armor and bionic muscles, was tall and reliable, and his flashing golden electronic eyes were rapidly retrieving data from the network.
"Special S-Class Bounty Target — Sonic! I, Genos, the Cyborg of Justice walking alone on the path of revenge, will apprehend him!"
Apparently, this handsome blonde young man, with a protagonist-like face, was the future S-Class Hero —
"Expense Warrior," "Legend of Defeat," "Housekeeping Robot," "Severe Master-Complex," "Crippled but Resolute," "I was careless again"...
Official Hero Name —
"Demon Cyborg."
...
Sonic stopped, looking inexplicably at the still-burning shop entrance that Genos had blasted.
Then his lips curled into a wide, innocent yet cruel smile: "A mechanical cyborg with a strange self-introduction, huh? Interesting..."
"What gave you the courage to think... you could catch me?"
Crack —
As Genos clenched his fists, several acceleration thrusters popped out of his arms, and the energy index of his core energy source in his chest surged, causing his entire aura to rise steadily!
"Of course, my fists, and the justice I uphold in my heart!"
Seeing the two confront each other across the street, most of the public immediately reacted by fleeing far away.
In this dangerous world where the unexpected always comes first, many ordinary people had evolved a sense of danger in advance to survive the ubiquitous Monster incidents.
But there were still quite a few people attracted by Genos's good looks, who remained in place, watching with sparkling eyes and cheering.
"What a handsome young man, is he a Hero?"
"Such rare high-tech equipment, he must be a Hero!"
"But... don't you think the ninja guy confronting him is also very handsome?"
"Now that you mention it... he's more than handsome, he's kawaii!"
"You two, good luck!!"
...
The unsuspecting onlookers even cheered for both of them, but Genos and Sonic remained unmoved, their gazes meeting mid-air and sparking dazzling fire, with only each other's presence in their eyes.
The blonde cyborg with the protagonist's face locked his electronic eyes on the ninja in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Surrender, I won't allow a dangerous individual like you to threaten the city!"
Sonic: "..."
Aren't you the one destroying the city?
However, facing provocation, an elite assassin who had fought his way out of a terrifying place like the "Ninja Village" would never choose to flee.
"So, you recognized me? Then let's see, Tin Can!"
Before his words finished, Sonic's figure instantly vanished, turning into a purple-black electric flash, barely discernible to the naked eye, heading straight for Genos!
Genos's pupils contracted, and his entire scanning system instantly captured a series of blurry afterimages moving at extreme speed.
— So fast!
He showed no weakness, multiple miniature thrusters popped out from various parts of his modified body, spewing high-temperature flame streams that distorted vision, and he met the attack with equally astonishing speed!
— However, the performance of the machine... can keep up!
Boom —!
Two powerhouses, whose strength reached the S-Class Hero level, clashed head-on, and an explosive burst of light immediately erupted in the middle of the street!
Sonic, with a sinister smile, unleashed his sharp "Wind Blade Kick," and wind blades as keen as scimitars collided dozens of times in a fraction of a second with Genos's fist-like afterimages!
Cyborg Fighting Style —
"Machine Gun Blow!"
Piercing metallic grinding sounds and air-tearing explosions rang out simultaneously, and the result was indeed a stalemate!
The "Machine Gun Blow" relied on a continuous frontal assault to smash the "Wind Blade Kick," which was capable of cutting cars, but Genos's electronic eye lock also lost sight of Sonic!
At this moment, the tight-suited ninja was as fast as a phantom, performing dazzling ultra-high-speed displacements around Genos.
Amidst his high-speed movement, streaks of lightning-fast black shadows shot out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
Ninja Art —
"Exploding Shuriken"!!
Instantly, Genos, who scanned the incoming attack, did not retreat but advanced, spreading his hands, the muzzle of his palm cannons glowing brightly, and streaks of orange-red flame pulsed out continuously!
"Consecutive Incineration Cannon!"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom —!!
Highly condensed flame cannon fire precisely intercepted the incoming "Exploding Shuriken" in mid-air, triggering a series of violent explosions!
The scorching firelight and shockwaves overturned cars on both sides of the street, and billboards were shattered!
At this point, the cheering onlookers finally realized this wasn't a movie!
"Ah! Run!"
"These two guys... are both Monsters!"
"Help! My leg got hit!!"
"Mommy!!"
The crowd immediately let out terrified screams, scrambling and crawling to flee in all directions.
A huge piece of concrete, flung by the explosion, whistled towards a little girl who hadn't managed to run away.
"Danger!"
