"We were only able to find two videos, but I think you'll be quite pleased after you watch them." Eyelashes explained to Fubuki. The esper gave a nod in response and drummed her fingers on the tabletop. After she finished her shower, she dressed in her pajamas, which consisted of a long sleeved black shirt and black lounge pants.
Mountain Ape set a laptop on the table in front of Fubuki with two videos already pulled up and ready to play.
"These videos aren't the best quality. It looks like they were both filmed with cell phones. But you get the gist of it."
Fubuki's eyes narrowed when she noticed that both videos were very short in length. She hoped that Eyelashes was correct and that these incredibly short videos would be what she was looking for.
The first video began and was very loud. From what Fubuki could see, the person recording was in a helicopter. She squinted as she saw three dots; one being a half bug half woman creature, the other being the cyborg Genos, and the last being a very naked Saitama. Luckily for the distance, the esper couldn't actually see the bald man's manhood.
From where the video was picking up, it looked like the fight was mainly between the bug woman and Genos. And the cyborg was not winning. Fubuki watched as Saitama approached the duo and sent a slap to the woman, leaving nothing but an explosion of blood in its wake.
The esper gasped and sat up straight, eyes still locked on the monitor in disbelief. She slowly looked over to Eyelashes and then to Mountain Ape. Both of the men gave her a confirming nod.
"Just watch the other one."
So Fubuki clicked the tab for the other video and clicked play. The video began with someone shushing people in the background because if the video was interesting, they were going to put it online. It looked like the person was recording the scene outside from a window.
Outside, Saitama stood in front of a giant lion creature. The lion seemed to be getting larger in size, causing the people in the background to make noises of surprise. Fubuki watched as Saitama easily dodged the lion's attacks and then fired his own; a series of punches that, to the untrained eye, were hard to see. The upper half of the lion disappeared and blood spilled everywhere, just like in the other video.
"It looks like he can take out people in one punch! That mosquito woman was beating the crap out of the cyborg, but baldy, a B class, was able to take her out no problem. Something isn't adding up." Mountain Ape spoke. Fubuki could tell that he had been wracking his brain on how Saitama's strength was possible.
"And that lion man. He was about three times the size of Saitama, yet he took him out like it was nothing." Eyelashes stated. He turned to Fubuki. "What do you think, Miss?"
What did she think? Her first thought was that Saitama's rank couldn't possibly be right. But the ranking system was never wrong; they had tests to figure out someones ranking. The esper placed a hand to her head and closed her eyes.
"I...don't know. From the looks of it, he wasn't ranked properly. He's a nobody, though. If these were the best quality videos you could find of him, then that just further proves that he isn't well known." Fubuki's eyes snapped open at the fact that maybe Saitama didn't want to be well known. He did give her that whole speech on what it means to be a true hero, so it was very possible.
The esper held back a shudder at the thought that such strength had been right in front of her and she had no idea. She had taunted and fought him, all without the knowledge that he could kill her in an instant. If these videos were anything to go by, he could've easily punched her and ended it all as opposed to lecturing her and letting her live. Why did he spare her? Is that what it meant to be a hero? All of this was making her head hurt.
"Ahem, well, I'm going to bed." Fubuki stood up from the chair. As she began to walk away, Eyelashes' voice stopped her.
"W-what? Aren't we going to find a way to take him down? Isn't that why you wanted us to find these videos? So we could analyze his fighting and make a plan for our newbie crushing..." Her right hand man trailed off, in shock that his boss was just dismissing their usual plan.
"No. You saw the videos. We're not going to treat him like the others. I'm not going to be responsible for any of the team getting killed. We're lucky he didn't kill the three of us when we confronted him at his home. Make sure you send out a message to the others telling them to stay away from him." And with that, Fubuki left the room, leaving her men in shock at the first admitted failure of their newbie crushing.
for the next chapter, I was thinking about doing Saitama's POV. would you all be interested in that or should I just stick to Fubuki?
also, yaaasss at the amount of people reviewing, favoriting, and following this story! it's nice to see that others are interested in the Saibuki pairing, especially since this is like the first story out for them. sad!
one last thing; I plan on updated once a week for as long as this story lasts. when this story ends, however, I will be doing more one-shots for them, so don't fear!
thank you all for the support! xoxo
