AN: Hello readers, first, I have bad news, I decided to delete elDLIVE: A Different Start fic, because I ran out of ideas (sorry) but on the bright side, I have good news, I decided to publish a new one, and this time, it's a crossover with One Punch Man (Well, mainly because a character on the said series and the series itself was briefly mentioned on this fic and I don't want any issues again, just like last time) well, it was short but what can I do...well, let just get to the story

Chapter 1: Chuuta's Trauma

"GUUCHI! MICHIYO! MATSUTAROU!"

Chuuta could only yell his friend's names as he was forced to watch them fall on the bottomless cliff of Mt. Taketori, his class were currently having a training camp, and he, along with his mentioned friends above, have decided to stroll far away from the campsite just for fun and unfortunately, their amusement turn into horror as they ended up on this kind of situation, and what's even worst is...it was his fault for stepping on a wrong platform that causes the tiny ground, where Gucchi and the other two is, to finally give in and collapse

"NOOOOOO!"

Chuuta could only wailed after they ended up being swallowed by the darkness of the bottomless pit and never seen again


"Why is Chuuta-kun the only one alive and well!?" Guuchi's mother yelled to him, Chuuta could only bowed as he didn't know what he will say to her

It was the day of 'funeral' and Chuuta, being a good boy, decided to pay a visit to Gucchi's mother, but it turns out that his presence greatly angered the woman

"WHY!? ANSWER ME YOU BRAT!" She yelled at him for the second time, Chuuta's eyes were shadowed by his hair and stream of tears can be seen under it, seeing that he's not answering, she lunge at him, but luckily, one of the visitors manage to stop her and keep her away from the boy, who was now crying silently

Then, Guuchi's mother was forcefully dragged inside her house by the people who were present in the funeral before she can do something serious to the poor child, since their bodies weren't found and it's been a month have passed after the incident, they were declared as dead and the parents of the other two victims have no choice but to accept their fate

After the commotion, his auntie, Mimi, went to him and attempt to comfort him by giving the boy a warm embrace, Chuuta could only look down on the ground


His friend's 'death' greatly affect him, and thanks to that, he hasn't been eating for few days after Guuchi's funeral, and Mimi, being an overreacting woman sometimes, can't help but to feel extremely worried at his well being, so in order to at least ease his grief for even just a little and keep his mind off the incident, she decided to buy him a comic book and the one that she pick is the manga entitled 'One Punch Man' due to the suggestion of the owner since it has a lot of funny scenes that will make the reader laugh their asses off, so she took his advice and bought it, and thankfully, it appears that Chuuta has taken a liking on the manga to the point that she can actually hear him laughing on his room while reading it, so in the meantime, he's been preoccupied by it ever since then

Mimi was relieve of the stress for the time being


"100 Push-ups! 100 Sit-ups! 100 Squats and a 10 km. run everyday! And with the addition of balance diet as well as no air conditioner during summer and no heating device during winter, that's what I did to become this strong...in mind and body..."

Chuuta read that part of dialogue came from the main character 'Saitama' and for some reason, it actually urges him to do what the titular character just said, Chuuta wonder to himself that is it really possible to become that ridiculously strong and powerful by doing those insane series of exercise? Well, only one way to find out

He then readied himself for some serious pain


At first, Mimi thought that the manga is actually helping Chuuta's well being to recover, but for some reason, she think the manga that she bought for him made his condition even worst than ever

Well, who wouldn't think of that after she found out that he's been doing some intense workout everyday and coming back home, either very tired or covered with bruises, and then, this cycle will repeated day after day, then week after week, and then months after months

So Mimi decided to confront him about this...


"Chuuta, you really should stop this! Are you trying to kill yourself?!" Mimi yelled at him, on which Chuuta simply ignore

It's been a year since she talk to him about this ridiculously strange behavior of his since reading that manga, but the boy just told her repeatedly that it's none of her business and continue the said workout, he even go to the point that he no longer listen to her at all should Mimi bring up the topic to him and there was a time when he actually glare at her when she attempt to stop him, much to her surprise and fear

"I'm fine..." Chuuta reply to her, Mimi became enraged, his one and only known relative is starting to rebel against her, and he was still a child if she may add

"FINE! You have a couple of broken bones on your arms and legs and You call that FINE?!" She shouted while emphasizing the word 'fine' in front of him, she can't believe that Chuuta was actually shrugging those serious injuries off as nothing and continue this pointless workout

"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself" Chuuta replied again with an emotionless look on his face, at those words, Mimi finally snap

"ARGH! FINE! DO WHAT YOU WANT! I DON'T CARE IF YOU DIE OR WHATEVER HAPPEN TO YOU!" She yelled loudly before running to her room and cry there, leaving Chuuta all alone, but the boy just close his eyes and went to his room to catch a quick rest

Their fragile relationship continue for two more years.


After three whole years of doing the intense workout along with balance diet as well as no air-conditioner during summer and no heating device during winter and not to mention, ignoring his auntie when going home, Chuuta was currently in Sugura bay watching the sunrise, he always catch this beautiful sight since he always woke up early for the training

"What is this...?" he muttered as he look on his palm, he can actually feel something strange on his body

"Why do I feel so light and peaceful?"

Chuuta then clenched his fist, He isn't feeling any type of special energy on his body, but for some reason, his mind was at peace and his body feels light to him, as if he's relieve of all the stress in life, and then, he's got this another feeling inside him...a feeling that he can actually do things no normal humans can do without exerting any effort, but still...

"Is that it? This is the results of the training I've done? *sigh* I guess I wasted three years of my life on this workout after all..."

Then Chuuta decided that it's time to go home, walking alone on the side of the road when suddenly, he saw an old lady in the middle of the pedestrian lane along with her pet dog, apparently, the old lady tried to cross the road since no cars or any type of vehicles can be seen yet, she decided that it's the perfect opportunity for her, so she took the chance, but suddenly, her joint on the right knee was acting up, halting the old lady's progress, and thus, she can no longer walk and she was stuck there, and what's even worst for the poor lady was...a trailer truck suddenly appear and was closing in to her very fast and the other side of the road she was trying to cross was still very far from her position...talk about bad luck

Without hesitation, Chuuta ran in full speed


"I guess this is as far as I can live..."

The old lady thought that her life on Earth has reached it's end and so, she decided to accept her fate and simply close her eyes as the truck was about to hit her

But then, she felt something that grab her and the next thing she knew after she open her eyes, she was now on the other side of the road, safe and sound...

...And someone is actually carrying her despite their huge weight difference, she focus her gaze to see a 10-year old boy giving him a ride on his back while supporting her with his left hand and he's doing it effortlessly while her pet dog was safely being cradled on his right arm, then, the trailer truck behind them pass by without any problem

"H-H-H-Holy..."

The old lady surprisingly cursed...


"Eh!"

It's not just the old lady that was surprised, even Chuuta himself was shocked at what he just did, he actually manage to ran in near light speed and not just that, he successfully save an old lady along with her pet from a near death situation...is that what they actually called an 'adrenaline rush'...or did he really ran very fast...on his own will

"..."

Chuuta then put the old lady and her pet dog down, he look at her to see if there's any injury on her body or if she's fine after that experience

"A-Are you-"

Chuuta didn't get to finish as he was suddenly hugged by the old lady

"Thank you! Thank you very much for saving my life!"

He heard the old lady thanked him many times and for some reason, his heart felt a sudden warmth due to the simple 'thank you' she said to him, then, the pet dog below was actually taken a liking to him as it started to lick his feet in affection

"I-It's nothing, ma'am..."

Chuuta was at loss of words right now, but one thing is for sure, so he let out a smile

"I guess wasting my three years was really worth it, after all"
