"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

A loud bang was heard in the forest, where a little human was fighting a lot of gigantic bugs, while there was a giant silhouette of a Praying Mantis behind the little human with a basket and slashing different types of food and putting it on a large basket.

Four months have passed till the day he wiped out the family of the Praying Mantis. He has been fighting different kinds of giant bugs, since that day his rountine has been levelled up once again. Fifteen times the "Saitama excercises routine" with a boulder on his back weighing ten tons. All he did was eat, excercise and fight and the Praying Mantis has been a lot of help to him as he doesn't need to take the trouble of getting the foods as he has a slave that can take care of that and he can manage his time more efficiently. So, this past four months his combat ability experience has been greatly increased a lot and he also learned a new technique, he can release a project tile, using his energy the same as "Rankyaku" of "Rokushiki" Renz concentrated the energy on the tip of his index finger turn it on the direction of the tree one kilometer away from his standing point, he unleashed his eyes ability "zoom in" and the tree got a clear image as he released it, a transparent projectile was shot from his index finger and went to the direcrion of the tree "SWOOOOSH!" with a loud bang it penetrates the tree "BANG!"

"KAKAKAKAKAK, this is so cool it feels like having a gun attached from your body, but still I'd like to have a real gun for myself coz it's cool carrying a gun and the other reason is that, it's such a waste of energy, it is more safer to have a lot of stored energy in my body, well, for now this should be enough until I find myself a gun" Renz said to himself while the Praying Mantis was still picking up foods for his master.

Renz thought to himself that it's time to learn haki, as he think that his strength has reached a bottle neck and this should be enough to be able to utilize haki and the easiest one should be "Observation haki" which will be a great help to him to avoid danger, as it can grant users a sixth sense that allows the user to sense his surroundings and it has the easiest method, he can still clearly recall the time Luffy got trained by the "Dark King" Rayleigh Vice Captain of the Pirate King, the method used is to turn off the sense of sight and hit the person, relying only on the sense of hearing, sense of touch and other senses in order to awaken the sixth sense of the body without using the sense of sight.

He turned his sight to the Praying Mantis and said to him "Oy, Mants come here!" he wave his hand as a gesture to come to him making it easier for the Mantis to comprehend his intention.

"Oh I call him "Mants" as it was too annoying to always call him "Praying Mantis" it's too long, it's a waste of my saliva and once my saliva was wasted it dries my lungs and I might get dehydrated and once I got dehydrated I will drink water and the water in this world will be quickly consumed and once the water dry, everyone will die from dehydration. So, I don't want to keep calling him in a long name. Mmm-mm let's save water that's right, I really am a great guy I'm really brilliant people should worship me" Renz thought to himself as a halo appeared in his head and a blinding light enveloped him, though it was just his imagination, he keep blabbering about his nonsensical thought.

Back to reality, the Praying Mantis arrived infront of him then stood firmly like a soldier awaiting for the order of his master "GWAA!" he banged his chest with his long limb. Renz who saw this, was about to laugh but he stopped himself from laughing "Pffft!"

Renz put a serious look on his face and said "Okay Mants, I want to practice something and I need your assistance" the Praying Mantis understood what Renz was talking about nodded.

Sseing that the Praying Mantis has understood him, Renz tear off the sleeve on his shirt and started tying it on his eyes making him unable to see his surrounding.

The Praying Mantis who saw this got a confused looked and tilted his head, a question mark has appeared on to of his head trying to comprehend what was the little human wants him to do, thinking of this, suddenly, he heard the voice of the little human and said "Mants hit me while im blindfolded". He tilted his head again as he got confused of why does the little human in front of him wants to be hit? The Mantis was deep in thought as can't comprehend this gesture of the little human, and once again his thought was interrupted by an irritated voice "Hey Mants I said that you will hit me while I'm blindfolded! If you can't do it I'll just find another useful slave and get rid of you!" The Praying Mantis who heard this got startled and afraid of the little human so it just did what the human wants him to do.

"SHUA!" The Praying Mantis launched an attack towards Renz "BANG!" Renz got hit on the back of his head "Ouch! That hurts!" Renz exclaimed.

"Okay Mants that's it, continue on what you are doing" Renz said to the Praying Mantis as he sense that it was getting scared because he hit him and might be the end of his life. So, Renz comforted him that it is okay and continue what he is doing.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

A loud bang was heard as Renz keeps on getting hit on the back of his head countless times. There's even a bulge on his head "Argh" Renz groaned as he felt the pain of being hit by the giant Praying Mantis but he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and endured the pain, continue being a punching bag by Mants.
