Hey, there guys! I'm a bit late. I'm trying for a once a week posting. Fridays in particular if I can. But I was a bit uninspired for a little while, which frustrated me, but I got some inspiration on Saturday so I have edited this chapter finally. This is short cause I split the POV. The next ch. is nearly done (and longer than this one I promise) and so I will post it no later than Friday! Please enjoy!

Though I was always happy to help Saitama sensei with his bargain day sales, I was relieved when we exited the crowded supermarket out onto the more relaxed and spacious side walk. Sensei had been as fierce as ever and prepared with a list of items for me to collect while he went about obtaining the other half.

A middle aged gentleman had attempted to steal sensei's laundry detergent that he enjoyed buying when it went on sale, but after a long and detailed story of why the man should release what he thought was his, and a threat to the arm holding what I must obtain, the man relinquished his claim, pale and shaking, and I was able to add the detergent to the basket. It had been the last item on my list, so I quickly sought out sensei. He was happy with my success, especially since he had failed to grab the last twelve case of instant ramen that he had hoped to add to his basket. When sensei told me that an elderly woman had snagged it just before him, I demanded he point out the lady, but he said it was fine as we made our way to the check-out station.

We had nearly made it home when my sensors flashed of an inbound life form threat. Seconds after my detection the earth cracked before us and a monster sprung forth from beneath the earth. It held the shape of a man that was encased in a thick layer of green ooze that released a noxious gas that permeated the air around him.

"I am chemical waste man!" He shouted with a terrible manic laugh. "I accidentally fell into chemical sewage and emerged as I am to poison the world as it has poisoned me!"

"But wasn't that your own fault." Sensei said, staring at the man with his lazy gaze. "I mean, you fell in the waste, right?"

"Yes," The blob of a man admitted, his noxious gas nearing us. "but they should have secured the waste site better! I mean, yes I climbed the fence to get some dirt on the place for an article I was writing, but a guard startled me and I ran to hide, tripped, and fell into their waste pit."

"Yeah, but that's not their fault." Sensei continued. "You were trespassing."

The man growled, the ooze around him bubbling, sending out more noxious smoke. He shot his arm forth and a glob of green guck was aimed right for sensei.

Saitama sensei simply side stepped it and looked to his bags.

"I'll take care of it sensei." I said as the noxious gas surrounded us. I wrinkled my nose and aimed my hand at the oozing man. "Incinerate!"

The dripping man and his ooze was burned to ash and his gas slowly dispersed.

I regarded sensei when he made a sound of mild discomfort. "What is it sensei?"

He rubbed at his eyes and blinked in a rather dramatic way. As though he was trying to stretch his eyes. "Huh?" He looked to me. "I think something was in the gas. You look fuzzy."

"What?" I marched over to sensei and peered at his eyes closely, examining them. At least I tried to, but he kept trying to rub at them or blink the irritation away.

I shifted the bags to my arms and gripped sensei's face to stop him from moving. "Sensei, please stay still for a minute and do not blink."

"Uh…" Sensei's mouth hung open slightly as he did as I asked.

I scanned his eyes.

"Your retinas did not suffer damage, but it does appear as though your vision has been impaired by a thick film coating your cornea.I believe it is only temporary, sensei. Though, to be safe, maybe we should consult a professional optometrist."

"Uh…that sounds like too much trouble. If you say it'll fix itself, that's good enough for me."

I frowned. "How is your vision now, sensei?" I released my hold and took a few steps back. "How well can you see my image?"

"Uh…" Sensei squinted. "I can see your shape…kinda. The details are hazy."

"Hm?" I walked back to him. "I think it would be wise to at least seek Dr. Kuseno's advise, sensei. He is not far from here. I would feel immense guilt if you lost your site or continued to be impaired due to my false judgment."

Sensei raised his arms with the supplies from the store. "What about the food?"

I stepped towards sensei and took the bags from his hands. "I will drop them off at home and return within three minutes sensei. You stay here and do not move."

"Alright then."

I gave a firm nod before racing towards sensei's apartment.
