Hearing the topic of conversation becoming serious, all the heroes became alert and nodded in agreement.
This was the core policy of the current Hero Association: National Strengthening!
Only by making the common people uniformly strong would they have the confidence to face the emergence of increasingly powerful fighters in this world, rather than relying solely on heroes.
"By the way, you've all returned. I'm curious how Saitama's group is doing. They should have returned too, right? It's been quite a while since you departed, even though their strength is far above yours!"
Metal Bat asked while crossing his arms behind his head and furrowing his brow.
Tatsumaki felt displeased: "What do you mean their strength is far stronger than ours? Which eye are you using to see that?!"
Although the fact was indeed so, a little girl like Tatsumaki never wanted to yield, let alone admit it.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the strongest, you're the greatest, okay?!" Metal Bat gave up because he was too lazy to argue with her. He then asked with curiosity: "So, what's that Naruto world like? I've never been there. That person you brought back, I've already seen him, but he seems no different from us—has one nose and two eyes."
Bang snorted coldly: "The wonders of that world cannot be compared to our world. They have systematic training methods and control an energy system called Chakra. Their strong ones are no less than us S-Class heroes, some are even stronger. In just a few days there, we nearly met disaster several times."
Remembering the crisis experienced before, Bang couldn't hold back his dread.
It was then that he truly witnessed Tatsumaki's power, and Watchdog Man turned out to be an expert hiding his strength; his power was even stronger than Tatsumaki's. No wonder his ranking on the Gold List was higher than Tatsumaki's.
If it weren't for those two, Bang might have died there and couldn't return.
This was all Tatsumaki's fault; her talent for finding trouble was truly extraordinary. Almost all crises originated from her, which was why the three of them hurriedly brought one person and directly returned home.
Child Emperor suddenly asked: "Bang, how is that student of yours?"
Hearing this, everyone present simultaneously looked at Bang.
They certainly knew who Child Emperor meant—of course Garou, who recently showed his fangs before the world and made it into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.
Even Bang himself didn't expect his main student to have such terrifying talent to make that list with such a high ranking. The Gold List even gave him high recognition.
Tatsumaki nodded: "That Garou is your student, and his ranking is very high on the Hidden Dragon List. Although his style of action is a bit extreme—even considering himself a monster—he's still human, and he's your main student. You should look for him. If we can pull him into the Hero Association, it will be a great help to us."
Bang fell silent for a long time, then sighed.
He felt both love and hate toward that student of his. He knew very well his student's talent was extraordinary, which was why he once gave all his knowledge, even intending to make him the heir to his martial arts school. But who would have thought his personality was so radical, making Bang dislike him and eventually expelling him from the school.
Now, to humble himself to seek his student again, he truly couldn't do it.
"Let that rebellious student determine his own fate!" Bang turned his face away.
Tanktop Master said: "That student of yours is too arrogant, he lacks discipline. One day if I meet him, I'll teach him a lesson on your behalf, so he knows that above the sky there's still sky!"
Everyone looked at him with disdainful stares. This person was good at boasting; he wanted to teach Garou a lesson?
Garou had now received a reward from the Gold List. With that extraordinary reward effect, most likely before long even Bang wouldn't be his match. Even making it onto the Strongest List in the future was just a matter of time for Garou.
And Tanktop Master said he wanted to teach him a lesson? What would happen instead was he'd be beaten until he cried looking for his parents.
Right at that moment, a shadow split the sky, shooting from afar and landing right outside the large glass window. Giant golden wings covered the sky, making the entire meeting room pitch dark.
"Damn, who turned off the lights... Oh, it's still daytime! What's going on?" Atomic Samurai's voice was heard.
Then, a sound was heard from outside the window accompanied by knocking on the glass.
"Tatsumaki, Tatsumaki! Old man, old man! Don't hide inside and stay quiet, I know you're in there, quickly open the door...!"
Imaginary black lines appeared on everyone's foreheads. This sentence sounded very strange, as if they were being raided for being caught red-handed having an affair.
They certainly recognized the owner of that voice; it was none other than Saitama who returned bringing Genos and Fubuki.
Bang stepped forward to open the window and said with a sour face: "Why don't you just go through the front door?"
This person indeed liked not following common rules.
Saitama folded his golden wings and entered through the window together with Genos and Fubuki. He casually threw the bound Imu onto the floor, then laughed: "Going through here is more practical! I'm a humble person, don't want to attract attention."
Everyone fell silent. With wings that big, who wouldn't notice? What part was humble?!
Then their gazes focused on Imu on the floor and Buggy who came with them. They all felt curious.
Bang placed his hands behind his back and walked circling Buggy, then pointed at him while laughing: "Where did you bring this red nose from, what circus? You thought we were lonely so you brought a clown to entertain us?"
The veins on Buggy's forehead pulsed, his face reddened with anger. Since meeting this baldy, his life had never been peaceful. The nickname he hated most was now being shouted by everyone, and he had no way to fight back. Although he felt no weaker than most people here, because of the baldy's presence, he didn't dare act rashly.
"My name is Lord Buggy!" Buggy exclaimed while standing with hands on hips and pointing at himself, trying to find a bit of self-esteem after receiving the Gold List reward.
"You're that Buggy the Clown? I heard you were kidnapped by Saitama, why are you following him all the way here instead? Are you addicted to being kidnapped or did you fall in love with him?"
The people there finally remembered, on the Hidden Dragon List published before, Buggy's name was indeed there. It's just that although his appearance was unique, circus clowns usually dressed similarly like that, so they didn't immediately recognize him.
Bang couldn't hold himself back from teasing.
Saitama's face became dark. This perverted old man.
Buggy immediately jumped up and down in anger: "I was forced, you know! Who would want to come to this cursed place! Hey old man, do you want to experience my greatness? I'm indeed afraid of that baldy, but do you think I'll be afraid of you?!"
