One Punch Man: The New Saitama

Saitama hadn't really expected this. Actually a part of him expected this to happen, but for it to actually happen.....He was surprised. As soon as he had brought Mosquito Girl to the Hero Association he was immediately sent to Agoni who thanked him with a big smile on his face. It seemed like the old man had already told the staff that he was coming, which meant that Agoni had some way to watch him without him knowing, he didn't like that. However Agoni told him that it was actually Dr.Bofoi aka Metal Knight that told him 'Blast' was coming. It stunned Saitama who didn't know that Metal Knight was aware of his true identity. Agoni then told him that Amai Mask had actually followed him and told Metal Knight of how he looked, so that Metal Knight could then tell Agoni when Blast was coming to the Hero Association HQ.

"That's incredibly complicated, i can't help but think that it's too much. Why did Amai Mask told Metal Knight how i looked, why did Metal Knight told you i was coming here ?" Asked Saitama, truly confused about what was happening, and he DIDN'T like that. Agoni smiled and chuckled lightly.

"You are quite unaware of how people see you. Metal Knight, Amai Mask, Tatsumaki and all the others..........They seem incredible, invincible. They never seem impressed and they're always so confident in everything they do. It's true, they're like that........Except for when it concerns Blast. I didn't tell the others about your true appearence, only Amai Mask knows, for now. I only tell you this......Things like this will happen all the time. Because even if they're so incredible, even if they don't show it......Remember this, Blast is their idols, the one that made all this possible. If they weren't so selfish and arrogant they would worship the very ground you walk on, because you're the one that gave them a purpose in life.....Well Metal Knight doesn't exactly counts, but he still admires you."Said Agoni, not even turning around to see Saitama's shocked expression, he knew the hero would be shocked, because he too was shocked when he first heard the heroes say that to him.

Saitama got up and walked out of the room without talking, he didn't need to. But they both knew it.......Saitama liked that.

**********************************************

(The day after, D-City)

Saitama was quite shocked when he saw the state of D-City, he knew that Beefcake( the giant from episode 1) had destroyed many buildings in this city, but it was crazy. He now was sure that the manga did made events look a lot less dangerous than they truly were. Though he shouldn't be all that surprised, he had decided to head out to this city because of what the Hero Association staff told him. According to them the hero that was in charge of this city, A-Class Hero Lightning Max, had told them that he needed reinforcements because the destruction caused by Beefcake had attracted the attention of several Tigers level threats. Of course he could deal with a few tigers level threats, but there were too numerous for him to beat them all alone. A few B-Class Heroes had come to help him, but the HQ still decided to send a C-Class Hero like him to deal with the remaining threats, they couldn't afford to waste all those heroes on a few tigers level threats.

That's why Saitama was currently searching for any mysterious beings that he could find. It would help him fill his quota, which meant that he would be able to climb the ranks faster. He still didn't know whether he wanted to stay a C-Class Hero or not, but he was still gonna work like a regular Hero, it would give him experience.

As he continued to walk along the street, Saitama saw something in the distance. At first he didn't know what it was, but when he heard the civilians scream, he understood.

'Looks like i have a target.' Thought Saitama. He could get there in an instant, but didn't wanted to get attention on him too much, so he decided to run towards the monster at a normal pace. He reached said monster when it was about to devour a dog.

"Oi! Put that dog down!" Yelled Saitama, getting the attention of the monster. Actually it couldn't be called that. It looked quite human, save for it's weird head. It was wearing a simple bloody rag that covered it's entire body, the only part of his body that could be seen was it's tentacle head and hands. For it was exactly that. It's head was just a shadowy circle surrounded by purple tentacles that moved extremely fast, well for a human that is.

"My, would you look at that. You do smell quite good for a human, i think i'll eat you." Said the monster, l.i.c.k.i.n.g it's lips, well Saitama did guess that's what it was doing.

"Nope, ain't getting eaten by you." Said Saitama simply. He got ready to punch the monster by clenching his right hand into a fist and bringing it to the level of his torso, with his left hand in front of him. He was about to end the life of the monster, but he suddenly heard a distant shout.

"I FINALLY FOUND YOU, MONSTER!!" Shouted a figure that approached them, too fast for it to be a normal human. When the figure landed between them, Saitama saw that it was Lightning Max.

"Oh, Lightning Max. I'm quite surprised you found me, i thought you were too stupid to even know where to find me." Said the monster in a mocking tone, but it didn't affect Lightning Max in the latest. Said Hero turned to Saitama and smiled at him.

"You're the new C-Class Hero Saitama, right ? I saw you on the Hero Association Registration List." Said Lightning Max surprising Saitama, and he didn't like being surprised. Saitama just nodded and Lightning Max gave him a thumbs up.

"You have a lot of courage to face a Demon Level Threat like that. I think you've a lot of potential."

'Well, he's a good guy but he's quite dumb.'Thought Saitama, who wondered why the monster still hadn't attacked.

"Well now that i've arrived, i can finally end you-" As soon as Lightning turned to face the monster he was sent flying away by a tentacle that hurt him so badly it crushed a few of his ribs.

'Yup, he's dumb'Thought Saitama as he sweatdropped.

"Now that this dumb Hero has been taken care of, i'll see how strong you are." Said the monster, facing Saitama. Said bald hero just smirked.

"Well i guess that's how the daily life of a C-Class Hero is."
