The Strongest Hero | 最強の主人公 | Saitama

Unparalleled Peril

[(Apologies in advance for the amazingly displayed pictures, am I right?) Did you sense that sarcasm or what]

🔸 🔸 🔸

Saitama was always anxious and fidgety, he couldn't get the thought of your unmoving body out of his mind and he wanted to be next to you when you woke up. He felt partially guilty for your accident and he still had to apologise about your fight from when he wouldn't let you go along with him. He knew now that you would've been safer beside him but he also knew he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he was the reason you got hurt.

He didn't save you when you were hanging from that building when you were fearing for your life when Genos swooped in and grabbed you, taking you away from your impending death. Genos had noticed his masters distress but for once, he wasn't sure how to help because he also had no idea what was happening with you.

Due to Saitama's request, Genos had scanned your body and all your vitals and systems were intact and healthy as if nothing had ever happened with the Deep Sea King. It was so confusing and all Genos had to say, were those dreaded words that made Saitama cringe internally and let out a disappointed sigh, "We just have to wait.. Sensei."

In midst of his waiting, both Saitama and Genos had visited Silver Fang's dojo as they both sat on the floor watching Bang perform his move as he called it, 'Water stream rock smashing fist.' "Want to give it a try? I bet you'll get the hang of it in no time."
Genos watched with no emotion and Saitama only looked disinterested, "That's the cool thing you wanted to show us?"

He looked to his right and spoke, "I'll pass. You do it Genos."

Genos turned to his master and took note of his bored expression, "I'll pass too, I seek absolute destructive power instead of the art of defence."

"Punk! How dare you mock our fighting style, I, Charanko, the top disciple with challen-"

Within a second flat, Genos had his metal hand grabbing the disciple's neck as Charanko choked in shock, "I give up."

Only Bang had noticed, unaware to Saitama as the bald heroes lips turned upwards only slightly as if remembering a happy memory as he thought about what you would've said if you were by his side watching Genos and Charanko, "Go! Student Vs. Student! Who will successfully gain their almighty master's approval while the other walks away in shame!?"

Charanko dropped to the floor which awoke Saitama from his daydream when Genos spoke to Bang, "He's your most skilled?"

The older man sighed with his hands held behind his slumped back, "This dojo was full of other student's until my most skilled had gone wild and beaten the other students. The rest got too scared and left."

"Wow, he must be strong, What's his name?"

"Garo.. In retaliation I beat him and then expelled him."

"Old man, you sure do pack a punch." Saitama smiled lightly while Genos stood beside him idly as Charanko disrupted once again like a child yearning for attention, "Of course he does! He's Silver Fang! Class S Rank 3!"

"Charanko, calm down! Besides Saitama is many times stronger than me." Charanko gaped and staggered while dumbfounded.

"Master, I think Bang and (Y/N) could become good friends based on their opinion's on your strength."

Saitama turned in slight surprise when Genos mentioned his best friend's name, he nodded unconsciously and this only made him miss you more. Genos tried to offered a slightly empathetic smile making Saitama feel more at ease before all four men were interrupted by a man in a business suit, drenched in sweat; most likely from the hundred or so steps to reach the dojo, he was panting as his beady eyes stared right at Bang, "Silver Fang! I'm sorry for intruding in your dojo but it has been requested that all S Class heroes be summoned to the Hero Association immediately! Oh! Genos-kun, thank god you're here too, please come along too."

"Dragon level.." Bang muttered to himself, seeing that as the only conclusion to make most sense.

"Will you come too?" Genos asked his master who stared at the man dressed in the suit with a scarily intimidating look, "I will... Since I have nothing better to do."

🔸

Arriving at the Hero Association, Saitama remained quite as a hero named 'Atomic Samurai,' greeted Silver Fang. He felt content when Silver Fang introduced him and he already figured that you would've been jumping for joy and pride when the elder hero mentioned, "This is B Class Hero; Saitama, we told him to come as I know he will surely climb to the top of S Class one day."

Saitama smiled and held his hand out to the hero before him, "Hi middle-aged hero dude, put er' there!"

All Genos, Bang and Saitama were unfazed when his hand got slapped away, "I only acknowledge the strong so when your S Class; then I'll greet you properly.. Plus I'm not middle-aged yet, I'm only 37."

Atomic Samurai walked away after that as Saitama thought to himself, '37 isn't middle-aged? I had no idea.."

A high pitched voice turned the attention of the three men to their left where they noticed a turquoise-hair girl with a black dress that fell around her petite legs, "Hey, who brought a B Class nobody? Don't you think it's beneath us? And even if you were invited, you're supposed to decline! The nerve! You disgust me, leave."

"Who is this sassy, lost child?" Saitama spoke completely unfazed. The girl gaped in shock as she stared mortified at the heroes that walked away without giving her another thought.

🔸

Seated in the meeting room as the long table was surrounded by a majority of the S Class heroes, Saitama looked around in awe as he took his spot at the head of the table, "Can I have some tea?"

The robot moved towards Saitama and delivered his desired tea as the head of the Hero Association spoke about calling the heroes together to save the Earth.
The man in the fine tuxedo looked nervous as he spoke on about a great seer; Shibabawa that had recently died. Saitama felt oddly intrigued and listened despite the image of your resting face that ceased to disappear from his mind.

Shibabawa had choked on a cough drop but still managed to leave one last note to mankind on her final breath that read, 'The Earth Is In Trouble.'

Her predictions were always known to be 100% accurate but the elder woman had never used the word 'trouble' in her predictions which meant that something worse than a dragon- level threat is coming within the next 6 months.

And back at Saitama's apartment, (Y/N)'s brightly-coloured eyes had shot open.
