A week later, Ramiel's predictions came true. Fubuki was having less success than Tatsumaki. Every mistake is under scrutiny by the public. Especially because she's just a newly minted A-class hero.
Her blizzard group also rarely sees her anymore. Making more and more of them just leave because she wasn't supervising the organization.
Tatsumaki never left their home and she had a lot of time to think about her relationship with her sister.
Then Genos came to their house, knocking at their front door. "Yes, who is it?" Samus opened it and she raised a brow. "Genos, why are you here?"
"Ohh? Genos?" Ramiel who was cooking some breakfast in the kitchen popped his head and looked.
"Yes, I know that you have incredible strength. Please take me as your disciple!" Genos bowed a full 90° and he wasn't going to take a no for an answer.
"Ramiel... What am I going to do with him?" Samus' eyebrows twitched, thinking that it was too much of a hassle to deal with him.
"You've got the wrong people Genos, Saitama is much stronger than us you know?" Ramiel smirked and thought of giving Genos to him. Saitama didn't show it much, but he was depressed. With nothing to do in life anymore after getting so strong. So Genos is actually a good distraction for him.
"Saitama? The bald man earlier?" He went deep into thought. Thinking of why they would say that. "Hmm, how about we just show you? Come on, let me finish this up and give him some food for disturbing him." Ramiel finished up his cooking and made a nice lunchbox for him.
They travelled to city Z's ghost town and knocked at Saitama's door. "Yes?" He opened the door while yawning and Ramiel waved at him.
"Ahh, my fan! What are you doing here? I already have stalkers now?" Saitama mumbled and Ramiel flicked him on the forehead.
"No, we just came here to talk you know?" Ramiel gave him some dishes in a box and Saitama noticed the good smell.
"Ohhh, then come in. I haven't had visitors since forever." Saitama let them inside his tiny apartment and they all sat down at his table in the middle of the room.
"Saitama, Ramiel and Samus guaranteed me that you are much stronger than them. Please take me as your disciple!" Genos slammed his head on the table after bowing.
Saitama who was in a daze while eating the most delicious food he ever ate in his life just nodded unconsciously.
"Really? You'll accept!?" Genos was elated and Saitama noticed that he agreed to something. "Eh, what?"
"Okay, it's decided. Genos, learn a lot from Saitama okay? If you need some body augmentations, we might give you some parts and you just need to equip them." Ramiel patted them on the shoulders.
"Wait, who's going to be who's master!?" Saitama was confused and Ramiel pointed at him. "You're a sensei now, rejoice." He laughed and Genos started a monologue.
"Four years ago, when I was fifteen, I was still a real human being. Though we were poor, and had to pinch pennies, we were still able to get by. We lived a peaceful and happy life together, until that fateful day, when a crazy cyborg went out of control, and attacked our town. We never knew why it happened, most likely a failed body modification generated an irregularity in his brain. He destroyed everything in sight. Parks, schools, buildings, my house, he even took the lives of everyone in my family. Miraculously, I survived, but being only a weak 15-year old, I was alone and at the end of my strength in a ruined town. That's when Doctor Kuseno happened to pass through. The doctor, a scientist for justice, was on a mission to stop the rampaging cyborg and end his oppression. I asked the doctor to give me body modification surgery to make me better, stronger, faster. That's how I was reborn as a cyborg who fights for justice. I promised Doctor Kuseno I would terminate the evil cyborg and return peace to this world. It's been four years since that day. At nineteen years old, I'm focused and driven. I wander from town to town eliminating evil. The monsters and criminal organizations I have destroyed are numerous. But I have been unable to locate any clues about the insane cyborg, and have become increasingly frustrated and restless. I find myself chasing a virtual image of that cyborg whenever I face my enemies, and last week, when that mosquito monster appeared, I let my concentration slip and paid the price. I thought I could lose to no one but the rampaging cyborg, so I neglected to analyze the data on my opponent and rushed in headlong to confront her. The result, as you know, was that an enemy with immense strength bested me. If you had not been in the area, with master Ramiel and Samus, I would've undoubtedly been destroyed. Master, you guys saved my life that day. The life that was once saved by Doctor Kuseno many years ago has now yet again been saved by you people, Master Saitama, and I feel the weight of that responsibility. I must not allow myself to die before finding and destroying that cyborg once and for all, and to achieve that, I have to continue fighting evil as a righteous soldier until that fateful day comes when he appears before me.I need to get stronger. Last week, when I saw what Ramiel was capable of, I knew immediately that I had to study under them as their disciple. , but they recommended you. If only I could be as strong as you and become so awesomely powerful. I have an old enemy who must be defeated at all costs. The battle is not for me alone. It is for my entire town, and Doctor Kuseno as well. I fully realize that I am still inexperienced, but now more than ever before, I need incredible strength so that I can eradicate the greatest of evils. Doctor Kuseno-
"Shut up, Genos! Shorten it to 20 words or less!" Saitama couldn't take it anymore and got annoyed as hell.
"Damn, that kid has a lot to say." Samus felt her head spin at his monologue.
"Please teach me how to be strong as you." Genos looked at him seriously. "Genos... How old are you."
"I'm 19 years old sensei." Saitama then nodded. "So young, you'll surpass me immediately. I was 22 when I started training. And I'm 25 years old now. I'll teach you how to be strong. But it won't be easy, will you be ready?"
He nodded immediately and he noticed some invaders coming. "There are high speed objects coming this way, Saitama-sensei."
A centipede monster busted through the apartment and cackled. "Kikiki! My name is. Huh?" His head got torn off immediately.
"Pay for my apartment, you damned bastards. Couldn't you have just knocked on the door?" Saitama's blood pressure rose.
"There are more down below you know." Ramiel pointed down and they exited the building through the hole the mantis tore.
Ramiel then got pulled down to the ground, leaving only his head out like a bamboo shoot. "Man, now I have dirt all over my clothes."
"You are not the target, step aside or you will be eliminated." An armored gorilla stood in front of Genos.
"What do you want from us?" He squinted his eyes. "That is not necessary for you to know." They clashed and an anthropomorphic tiger that Kimahri wishes he could be like appeared.
"Come with us quietly, or we will be killing this guy." He pointed at Saitama while threatening Ramiel.
"Saitama, can you kill that guy. He's a bad guy you know?" Ramiel stepped up back to the concrete street and dusted himself off.
Saitama picked his nose and was feeling a bit lazy. "Ehhh? Come on, you can just take care of this."
"You bastard! You dare ignore me! I'm the beast king of the house of evolution!" He got pumped and slashed at Saitama, his claws emitting so much air pressure that it sliced a house apart.
"Ahhh, this guy just attacked me. Consecutive normal punches." After dodging a few more, he punched his torso, popping it like a watermelon.
And a mole that pulled Ramiel underground earlier froze. He retreated immediately, digging under the ground. But Ramiel flicked his finger and he got pulled to the surface.
"Please don't kill-" Before he could plead for his life, he turned into a small marble of flesh. Ramiel then absorbed it in his body, tendrils appearing from him like Alex Mercer in prototype. Along with the corpse of the beast king.
"Hmm, demon level threats surely give amazing boosts. It's amazing." He sighed in satisfaction at the power that the beast king gave.
Genos then took care of the cyborg gorilla, ripping its arms and legs off. "Who sent you? Do you have any more cyborgs? 4 years ago, did you guys started developing them and destroy any towns?" He pointed his arm at him that is threatening to incinerate him.
"Fool, I am the 3rd strongest fighter of the house of evolution. Beast king is 2nd, and he will be taking care of you after he incapacitates the target." The gorilla put on airs.
"Oh that lion guy?" Ramiel pointed around him and there's nothing to be seen. "Ahh, sorry." But Ramiel killed him as he already knows where the house of evolution was after absorbing the beast king.
"Let's go, they don't have what you're looking for Genos. Saitama, don't resist we'll be flying." He made them levitate.
"Wow, this is awesome. I can fly." Saitama looked around in awe. "You can't fly master?" Genos questioned and Saitama looked at him like an idiot.
"Humans can't fly you know? Except this guy, he must be a cool esper." Saitama's eyes glittered in excitement. It was every aspiring super hero's dream to fly.
They then travelled to the mountains and went to the house of evolution. A building that had overgrowth all over it.
"So this is where they are stationed." Genos suddenly blasted it off from the face of the earth. "Chill, kid. Goddamn." Samus patted him on the back.
"Yeah, we could have entertained them a bit you know?" Saitama thought he was too trigger happy. They then peeled off a metal door that looked to be an entrance for a basement.
"I'm getting pretty excited, this place is pretty big. Like a secret base of the villains." Saitama skipped around and thought the base was cool.
They then heard footsteps from the other side. "Kyahahaha! Who's the one!? The one on the right or the left!?" An anthropomorphic beetle was running at them.
"I can't see!" The scientist was being dragged like a ragdoll and due to Saitama and Genos being in front, he didn't see the target who is Ramiel.
"Then just take care of the other one!" The beetle man smacked Genos to the wall. "Heh, who's the strongest one among you?"
The two from behind pointed at Saitama. "Then let's do this in a training room of ours, eh?"
"You turned Genos into a piece of modern art, it's on." Saitama squinted his eyes at the beetle.
They arrived at a white room that was pretty huge. "This place is a nice training room, pretty thick walls too." Samus checked the place out.
"Then want to make this into our base? We can just reinforce the walls with magic and we're golden. Maybe make a hyperbolic time chamber with time magic? But that's pretty difficult." Ramiel started having ideas.
"Welcome! Pretty spacious place eh? This is where we are tested for our combat abilities! I am Carnage Kabuto, I hope you aren't too disappointing." He taunted Saitama.
A stream of flames came from the entrance and Genos arrived. "Huh? You're still alive?" Carnage Kabuto was amused.
Genos then braced himself and began firing at carnage Kabuto. He ran at amazing speeds, but when he kicked him, nothing happened at all.
His fire was also like gusts of winds as the monster smirked at him. Genos overclocked his body and lunged. "Machine gun blows!" Hundreds of punches were released, but he got hit by him and he skipped on the ground like a pebble.
"H-he got me. I need to do something." Genos was caught by Saitama and his face was cracked. He is also missing an eye now.
"Don't push yourself you know, you look beat up." Saitama was concerned for him. Genos then fired his strongest stream of fire that he currently produce. But carnage Kabuto blew on it and it returned to them.
"Genos! Are you alright!?" Saitama opened his eyes and saw that Genos is incapacitated now, with an afro to boot.
"Shouldn't his hair be burned off? Not turn into an afro?" Samus whispered to Ramiel and he shrugged. "Maybe it's some kind of magic here."
"Come on! What's with the hold up?" The monster taunted them and Saitama stood up. "You've got my hopes up. You're supposed to be the strongest weapon of this place right? You're clearly different from the guys this morning." Saitama walked up to him.
"Heh, you're supposed to be strong right? Then let's start!" Carnage Kabuto ran at him and went behind him to start the fight. But before he could give a blow, his instincts flared and he immediately flew away.
"Impossible!? Carnage Kabuto flew away?" The scientist that made them limped to the entrance and saw his greatest creations flee.
"Y-you... You bastard! How the hell did you get that strong?" Carnage Kabuto was sweating buckets as he hugged the wall behind him.
"So... You wanna know the secret too huh?" Saitama closed his eyes and remembered all his hardship.
"Don't get your hopes up Samus, it worked because he's a normal human. Saitama is a mysterious being if you ask me. With his obsession to break his limits, he turned like that." Ramiel made a hypothesis.
Mysterious beings can be natural, made by the Earth's energy or aliens. But normal humans can be one too with obsession or experiments. And he theorized that Saitama turned like that because of his unwavering will. And his transformation was going bald, losing his emotions, and having a body with super concentrated energy.
And it worked for him because it was torture for him that tested him like no other, unlike others that has an obsession. But didn't suffer as much to attain it.
"Then let me tell you my secrets! This intense training program. Genos, you listen to! Even if it gets hard, you have to do it every single day! 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run! Every single day. In the summer, I turned off the AC. In winter, I didn't use heating! I continued this intense training regime everyday! Even if I spit blood, my legs turned to lead, and my arms would feel like they would fall off!" Saitama shouted out confidently.
"Damn, thanks for the heads up. Or I would've been seriously messed up because of his training regime." Samus sighed and thought it was really amazing, but she was disappointed.
"Saitama-sensei! Quit screwing around! That's just a standard training program! And it isn't even that intense, it's pretty normal! I didn't ask to study under you for these sick jokes!" Genos got a bit angry.
"You may not believe it, but this is all I did you know?" Saitama sighed at their disbelief.
"I see, if you don't want to tell us your secrets. Then so be it, you're probably not stronger than me anyways!" Carnage Kabuto started transforming. (pic)
"Carnage mode! I'll be having a killing spree until next Saturday! My bloodlust won't go down for a whole week!" Carnage Kabuto ran at Saitama and gave an uppercut that produced shockwaves, making Genos fly from the impact while Ramiel shielded the scientist.
'No way... He said Saturday, he'll be like this for a week. And he will only stop when it is saturday.' Saitama thought in his head while being pummeled.
His body was like a ping-pong that bounced around the walls of the training room. Carnage Kabuto's massive fists were red hot from the energy he was putting on his blows.
"Today is Saturday! No! I won't make it to the sale!" He punched Carnage Kabuto and he exploded into pieces.
"Ohh, a pretty good haul. That's a dragon level monster." Ramiel took the good stuff and started absorbing it with Samus. He then began transforming again and put an extra endoskeleton inside of his body.
Specifically, under his skin. He also absorbed Adamantite to make it even harder, creating a passive shield that bolstered his defenses even more.
"Hey, Saitama. I can get us to the supermarket in an instant you know?" Ramiel cheered him up, he was too affected in missing the sale.
"Really? We still have time?" Saitama looked at him like a savior. "Of course, we've got like 6 hours left. So how about a proposition?" Ramiel started loosening up his body.
Saitama looked at him seriously and could feel his strength skyrocket. "You. You're strong huh?" Saitama squinted his eyes and had a small grin on his face.
"Samus, I want you to lock down this place. Nothing should go outside, you already know. Right?" Ramiel stared at Samus and she took the scientist and Genos outside.
"Samus, I need to see their battle!" Genos struggled, so she shocked him. "You'll be just in the way kid. They're going to have an apocalyptic battle inside."
She sealed the place with magic, overclocking her energy. "You've got 5 minutes, that's how long I can use space magic to isolate this place. That's plenty, right?" Samus messaged him.
"Too long even, you've really gotten stronger." Ramiel thanked her and his body started glowing.
A golden aura that was similar to Saitama's was enveloping him. "I'm pretty sturdy, but I'm a bit too squishy for your full strength. I'll send you food everyday if you become my sparring partner, deal?" Ramiel sweetened the deal and he immediately got excited.
"Now you're talking." Saitama thought he would have plenty of amazing food now.
They went for a face off and their aura clashed. Ramiel let go of his subconscious limitations and restrictions so he won't destroy the planet.
The two of them disappeared in place and their right fists clashed at the middle of the training room. A nuclear explosion exploded from the intense pressure between their fists. The atoms that were there fused and resulted in a fusion reaction.
"Consecutive normal punches." Saitama punched a dozen times and Ramiel blocked them with his elbows. Shattering his bones, but they regenerated quickly.
He loaded up his fist with enough energy for a Teraflare and teleported right in front of him. Ramiel gave an uppercut right at his chin and the stored energy exploded.
Terraflare, a magic that can destroy continents bursted out. The epicenter was on Saitama's face.
The room evaporated immediately and was sent to oblivion. But Samus already knew that will happen so she made a cube for their battle made of space magic. So Saitama will have a foot hold and won't just float around.
"That hurt." Saitama smiled and he had a cut on his chin. It was super concentrated and he has never gotten a wound like that for years now.
"Only a cut on your face, what a monster." Ramiel grinned and he burned up his energy to the maximum.
"I could say the same to you, that's plenty strong already." Saitama smiled, feeling his blood pumping.
"Heh, tell me that when I can beat your ass!" Ramiel roared and they met at the middle once again.
With his brain working overtime, Ramiel could see every muscle on Saitama twitch and predicted his blows.
Their fists clashed from time to time and with his martial prowess, he dodged and countered every hit that he could.
His fists and legs shattered at every encounter, but they regenerated immediately quickly and they exploded upon impact. Pinpoint bursts of petaflares exploded on Saitama's face and body.
Every next iteration of the spell is enhanced 1000 times. Saitama was receiving blows that can destroy 1000 continents on his face numerous times.
Ramiel was stealing energy from him with every contact, starting a vicious cycle that would defeat almost anyone in a duel.
Saitama noticed it and he backed off, he wiped his face that was noticeably beat up. "You're pretty good. I can feel it, just like old times. My blood is pumping!"
"Then give me one of your stronger ones! I'll answer with my own! Don't worry, even if you destroy my body, I'll be able to recreate it!" Ramiel urged him.
"Serious series, serious punch!" Saitama got a bit more serious.
"Eat this! Zettaflare!" He skipped the Exaflare. Imbuing his fist with all of his magic that he gathered from Spira, Gaia, and this world combined. They met at the center one last time and the destructive force of their blows clashed.
Samus who was outside started sweating immediately. Outputting more energy all at once to contain them because if their battle gets out, they'll destroy the planet.
After a few seconds, she sighed in relief and noticed that they were done. "Bloody hell. What the fuck are they throwing around there?"
Samus entered the training room and saw Ramiel panting on the ground. While Saitama was waving his hand that was beat up due to their clash. He looked like he got into a fist fight and had some small wounds on his face.
"Let's do that again." Saitama smiled and Ramiel who was missing his right arm nodded. "For sure." He began regenerating after Samus gave him some of his energy and they nodded at each other with respect.
"Saitama-sensei, I couldn't sense you inside. What kind of battle did you guys get into?" Genos who could move now checked on Saitama and concluded he won.
"That guy's seriously strong, my blood's still pumping." Saitama thought that with more time, he'll be using more of his strength.
"Geez look at you, you're all messed up. You're basically drained." Samus went with her zero suit and put him on her lap.
"Damn... I'm so jealous." Saitama stared at him and felt like he still lost. "Ahhh! My sale! Ramiel, you bastard, you promised. Stop flirting and let's go back! I have to make it to the sale!"
Ramiel laughed. "Oh stop being dramatic you baby. We have plenty of time." He stood up and they flew back to the city in a fast, but leisurely pace.
