While the general public typically depends on government-provided police agencies to ensure their safety. The establishment of the Hero Association three years ago marked a significant turning point for humanity. It ushered in the era of individuals who proudly identified themselves as professional heroes.
In the past, whenever the threat of monstrous creatures loomed, a chosen few individuals possessing the extraordinary ability to thwart them would emerge. In society's eyes, these individuals are often only recognized as heroes, akin to the ones we see on the silver screen. However, their actions, which ultimately saved them, possessed a genuine quality, thereby rendering society's perception of them more revered.
The saying that heroes also need money is not wrong. Despite being bestowed with extraordinary abilities, they are constrained by the limitations imposed by society, which prevents them from freely exercising their powers. In the realm beyond, there exists a valiant hero, so noble and righteous that they would sacrifice their very life to vanquish the forces of darkness that plague our world.
"Hey, Genos, have you caught wind of the rumors circulating about a potential salary increase for us professional heroes?"
"The news is no longer a mere rumor, Master. However, I must clarify that it does not pertain to a salary increase, as you might have assumed. We receive a bonus solely upon vanquishing each monster."
Genos proceeded to elaborate on the intricacies of bonus allocation for every monster threat level conquered by accomplished professional heroes. He further elucidates the distribution that shall be acquired upon its completion in groups.
"As Master is already aware, there exist five levels of Disaster: Wolf, Tiger, Demon, Dragon, and God…"
"Uhh, well…, you know, I was just wondering, like, how much could someone like me, a C class hero, potentially earn?"
As they strolled amidst the bustling crowd, their conversation remained unabated, with Saitama noticeably growing more enthusiastic. In an amusing twist of fate, they found themselves not colliding with other pedestrians even as their gaze wandered astray.
"In class C, they will receive a supplementary 5% bonus. Moreover, if they manage to triumph over a monster of greater Disaster level, the Hero Association will double their reward, and so forth."
Genos exuded confidence, convinced he had elucidated the matter with utmost precision and clarity. However, he couldn't help but sense that his master harbored numerous lingering questions, eager to be voiced.
Sure enough, Saitama found himself overcome with a profound emotion. His body quivered as if it were eagerly anticipating the arrival of long-awaited good tidings. Without hesitation, he abruptly stopped, reaching out to grasp Genos' shoulder. His expression shifted, transforming into one of utmost seriousness.
"So, what about someone like you, a professional hero in the B class? What is the amount you receive?"
"Ten percent…"
"What about Class A?"
"Fifteen percent…"
All eyes were fixed upon them, their gaze intensifying as Saitama displayed an unprecedented level of madness. Just as he was about to inquire about the most pressing matter on his mind, an unexpected incident unfolded close to their location.
"someone save that grandma!"
"Are there any professional heroes here?"
"Damn, their numbers are getting smaller after so many died the other day... Hey, that grandma was going to get hit by a truck if no one saved her!"
Genos, Saitama, and the people nearby all turned their attention in the same direction. However, while the two heroes were prepared to take action and save the day, the pedestrians simply watched with curiosity. They must halt abruptly before proceeding should another individual surpass them in speed.
A collective gasp escaped the onlookers as a mysterious woman appeared by the grandma's side. With an air of nonchalance, she effortlessly guided the elderly woman to quicken her pace, narrowly evading the speeding truck hurtling past them.
Upon reaching the opposite end, the grandma bestowed a gentle smile upon the woman before resuming her stride, seemingly oblivious to the presence of others.
In that fleeting instant, a collective sense of relief washed over everyone. The pedestrians' conversation shifted towards the enigmatic woman who remained at the scene.
"Woah, did I just see a ghost?... how did that woman suddenly appear there?"
"Fuck, luckily, I took out my cell phone and recorded... I have to make everyone see this..."
"But, isn't that woman's appearance a little strange? The people I know who look strange like that are usually professional heroes."
Everyone was dying to know the woman's identity. The question was on everyone's lips. Up until this point, the true nature of the woman remained concealed, as the majority perceived her as a mysterious hero whose identity eluded them.
Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind swept through the crowd of people. The figures of Genos and Saitama vanished from sight as they swiftly pursued the woman.
With the newfound inspiration she calls love, Mosquito Girl takes flight, her delicate wings propelling her from one city to another, driven by an unwavering determination to rescue every human she encounters.
"That was the 99th. I will definitely make Kaiser give me a gift after this," Mosquito Girl thought to herself, a smile playing on her lips. She couldn't help but imagine the look of pride on Kaiser's face when she returned home and recounted all her accomplishments.
The mere thought of the love and tenderness she would be bestowed as a gift brought a broad smile to Mosquito Girl's face. Unbeknownst to her, a few onlookers, captivated by her stunning beauty, would occasionally let slip a gasp of awe.
"Stop there monster!"
Just as Mosquito Girl was about to make her swift escape, Genos and Saitama appeared out of nowhere, effectively intercepting her path. She sensed their animosity, convinced that if there weren't so many humans present, the two of them would readily engage in an assault.
"You guys, I implored upon you my unwavering commitment to uphold the mantle of a professional hero. So don't stop me," Mosquito Girl's voice grew louder, ensuring those nearby could hear her.
Despite her frequent displays of frivolity, she possesses a certain level of intelligence as she recalls the identities of the individuals she encountered during her recent skirmish at the House of Evolution headquarters. In addition to effortlessly vanquishing the cyborg, Mosquito Girl found herself facing an unprecedented challenge from the bald man.
'Now that I think about it, isn't this bald guy the professional hero Kaiser told me to stay away from?'
At that time, Mosquito Girl found herself in mental disarray, causing her thoughts to become muddled and preventing her from accurately assessing Saitama's true power. She vividly recalled how her futile attempt at an attack held no significance in his presence. Had it not been for the timely intervention of the Kaiser, she would have met her demise.
"What nonsense are you saying, monster… if it wasn't you, we met at the House of Evolution headquarters, who else would it be?"
'thinking!... I can't fight this bald man, I'm not sure I can escape either... ahh... even when I already felt omnipotent with my new transformation, the arrival of this man really made everything worse.'
"Do you want to destroy your juniors who are trying to become professional heroes? Is that what you guys are doing now?" Perhaps due to her recent transformation, Mosquito Girl has begun to exhibit a more human-like mentality, a stark departure from her previous tendency to resort to violence without hesitation.
