Having finished their meal, which consisted of delightfully fluffy pancakes with homemade syrup, freshly brewed tea and, thanks to Tatsumaki's constant visits to the cafe, complimentary desserts, the trio were about to head their seperate ways when Genos popped a question.

"Saitama Sensei."

"Yea Genos?"

"May I request residence in your home?"

"Why? Don't you have your own?"

"Yes Sensei, but if I am to learn from you, wouldn't it be better for me to be near you every hour of the day? That way, I won't miss anything that happens."

"Dude, you haven't seen my apartment, it is so small that I doubt you can fit in there."

"If you are worried about where I'll sleep Sensei, rest assured that I can sleep anywhere. Not only that, once I enter sleep mode, I don't even move, so you don't have to worry about me intruding you and Tatsumaki's sleep."

"What the hell makes you think I sleep in his apartment you idiot?"

"Are you not Sensei's spouse?"

"WHAT THE HELL GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?"

"Yea Genos, I'm just friends with her, that's all."

"My mistake, Sensei."

"But my answer is still no, Genos."

"But why Sensei?"

"Because I don't want an extra set of chores."

"Sensei, I could do both of our chores."

"Wait, you can do chores?"

"Why wouldn't I Sensei?"

"He probably thought you were a combat cyborg with no other talents."

"Uh, yea, what she said."

"As I said, Doctor Kuseno wanted me to have as human a life as possible, so he programmed me to be able to do every chore thinkable."

"Well... I would still have to cook for two, which means I have to buy more ingredients."

"I can do the groceries and cook as well, Sensei."

"Wait, you can? Cool! Alright then Genos, you can live with me!"

"Wow Baldy, you only accepted it when he offered to be your maid? I didn't think you were the scheming type."

"Do not insult Sensei, I am doing out of my own free will."

"Actually Genos, she's kind of right. I wouldn't want people thinking I'm keeping you around just to be a slave."

"I will incinerate those who tarnish your name, Sensei!"

"Genos, you can't kill people just because they insult me. That's just going to make them fear the both of us!"

To this, Genos pulled out a notebook and wrote down Saitama's words.

"My apologies Sensei, I have much to learn."

"Pfft, you took that as a lesson? It's common sense robot!"

"Cyborg."

"Same thing."

"No they're not, a cyborg is a-"

"Genos, I'm going to stop you right there, we are not going to have a long explanation about the difference between a cyborg and a robot."

"Sensei, I have my systems recalibrated already, it won't take any more than 20 words."

"No, it's fine. Tatsumaki is just joking, right Tatsumaki?"

"Whatever."

As they headed down the street, Genos suddenly got into a stance.

"Something fast is headed our way."

"What is it cybo-"

"It's here."

From out of no where came a giant praying mantis with a glass dome on it's head, exposing a human brain, scaring off the civilians.

"My name is Kamakyuri, and I am from the 'House of Evolution'. I am here for the-"

Kamakyuri was lifted into the air and was face to face with Tatsumaki.

"Did you say 'House of Evolution'?"

"House of what?"

"Of evolution, Sensei."

"Y-yes. I was sent by my creator to fetch the bald man. Move out of the way, heroine, or you will be crushed."

"Me? Crushed by the likes of you? In your dreams bug."

"Not me, by them."

Saitama was suddenly dragged into the ground and Genos was swatted away by a big metal arm. Tatsumaki turned around to see 3 new faces. A giant lion/man thing, a mole and some kind of robot gorilla

"Step away 'Tornado of Terror', we're only here for the bald guy."

Oh great, it appears the gorilla has a cliche robot voice. Kill me now.

Said bald guy was yawning. He found being in the ground to be warm and comfy. He wondered if this was how bamboo shoots felt.

"Unfortunately for you, the 'Hero Association' has your group on the wanted list. As S class Rank 2, I can't just 'Step away'."

Saying this, she launched the mantis right at the lion, who caught it with it's large hands... paws? Yea, paws, crushing one of the mantis' legs in the process.

"Oh, sorry about that. Slugerous, take Kamakyuri back to base, Ground dragon, watch the target. Armoured gorilla, you'll deal with the cyborg. I'll deal with the heroine."

He handed the insect to another creature that came out of nowhere, you guessed it, a slug, who had appeared alongside some kind of frog. Where the hell did they even come from?

"What the hell are these names?. The 'Hero Association' told me the guy in charge was some kind of genius. I guess they were wrong."

"Well then heroine, let's see if you truly are a terror or if you're just little girl with powers."

"Oh, you shouldn't have said that."

"What do you mean, bald guy?"

The lion suddenly felt it's muscles tighten. Tatsumaki was floating high enough to look him in the eye.

"Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be compacted into a ball? Well, you'll find out!

Before the ESPer could teach the lion a lesson however, the metal gorilla, now limbless and with the gorilla's head showing, flew right into it, with both of them smashing into the side of a building.

"Oh shit, what happened to 'Armoured Gorilla'?"

The smaller creatures were now in shock, their second best fighter was defeated. Genos jumped back to where he was standing, worried about Saitama.

"Sensei! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Genos. I kinda feel like a bamboo shoot."

"Let me see if I can get you out Sensei."

"No need."

With seemingly no effort at all, Saitama walked right out of the ground, shaking some dirt out of his belt in the process, further shocking the creatures. Perhaps they weren't used to the mole's dirt prison not working.

"You know, you could've just asked instead of attacking us. So, where's this house of yours?"

"Wait, you'll come just like that?"

Apparently the gorilla was still alive.

"Hey, what happened to your robot voice?"

"Sorry, I was just trying to sound cool."

"Baldy, you're new so I'm not surprised you don't know, but the 'House of Evolution' isn't a literal house, it's an evil organization that has been wanted by the 'Hero Association' for months, but we've never been able to find their hideout. They probably want to do tests on you or something."

"Oh. Well, I don't have time tomorrow, there'll be a sale going on. Might as well go now."

"Perhaps you didn't hear me Baldy, I said EVIL organization."

"Yea I know, we can go and destroy it now. This can be my first act as an officially recognised hero!"

The lion laughed.

"As if we'll let you. The doctor said to bring you in dead or alive, I guess I, the Beast King, will take you in DEAD!"

"Did you forget about me, you stupid cat?"

The Beast King once again felt it's muscles tighten.

"Now, are you going to show us where it is, or shall I kick your feline ass straight back to the jungle you came from?"

"Tatsumaki, I do not think that is necessary."

"And why do you say that cyborg?"

Genos made sure to have everyone's attention before turning to Saitama.

"Sensei! I would like to have a battle with you!"

"Huh?"

"In order to become the strongest, I must fight the strongest. Therefore, I wish to have a fight with you!"

"Hey, this could actually work! I could record the fight for Doctor Genus to analyse."

"Fat chance ape! If any of you think I, as a representative of the Hero Association, will allow you to continue your evil deeds, then dream o-"

"What if we were to work with the association?"

"Say what now kitty cat?"

"Well, Doctor Genus' mission is to help humanity evolve. Imagine what good we could do if we were to work with the government."

"... Contact that doctor of yours, I'll inform the Hero Association. But I'm warning you, if any of you try something funny, I'll crush you all."

Despite her relative cuteness, in that moment, Tatsumaki had an aura that scared even Genos although, that may be because he was turned into modern art twice. Of course, Saitama didn't care and was just picking his nose.

"Well that was easy, and no one had to die too!"

"Sensei, can we still have that fight?"

"Oh, sure thing Genos. You got anywhere in mind?"

"Actually Sensei, I spotted a canyon near City Z the first time I was there. We could have our battle there."

"Oh, alright. Hey, you guys wanna come watch?"

Everyone nodded their head, including Tatsumaki. She figured she had nothing to do anyway, might as well see if recommending the cyborg was worth it.


The group found themselves in a large open canyon. The sheer size of it all was majestic and gave quite an astounding view.

"Thank you for agreeing to my unreasonable request, Sensei."

"Yea well, I did agree to make you my disciple. Is here okay?"

"Yes Sensei!"

"So uh, we're just having a practise bout, right? Not fighting for real?"

"That's what I had in mind Sensei, but-"

Suddenly, a drone of some sort came over the canyon, dropping off a black box beside Genos. The cyborg clicked the suit open and in an instant, his entire upper body was transformed.

"I want you to go all out, so I too, will give it my all."

Genos' arms and chest starting to glow a bright orange as he entered a battle stance, almost as if there was magma running throughout his body.

"Oh, Genos got new parts." + "Huh, the cyborg has new flashier parts."

The battle began. Tatsumaki with her powers quickly moved herself and the House of Evolution's creatures to a safe distance in the air to watch.

Flames erupted from Genos' shoulders, creating an explosion behind the cyborg as he launched his first attack with astonishing speed. Saitama dodged the cyborg's kick by doing a 90 degree arch with his knee, as if he was lying down on a bed.

Genos, realising he had missed, activated the thrusters on his palms, using the fire to control his momentum, turning himself around. Doing a full 720 degree turn before attempting, and once again missing, another kick to Saitama's face. As Saitama ducked, he found himself rather interested in Genos' abilities.

With another massive explosion, Genos sent himself flying upwards, charging his leg with electricity, and sending it straight down to Saitama. The resulting attack produced visible lightning and blew the surrounding ground high into the sky, providing quite a view for the spectators.

Before the cloud of smoke cleared, a beam of fire was sent Saitama's way who, of course, dodged it at the very last second. The attack singed a significant part of the ground in front of Genos, and the forest behind Saitama.

"That was close, my clothes could have got burnt"

Saitama had nonchalantly landed in front of Genos, who let out a frustrated breath of air.

"I need more speed!"

Genos put his palms to the earth, and charged himself once more. Flames were once again coming out of his shoulder and he had lightning forming under his palm as he rose above the ground before quickly disappearing, leaving lightning where he stood. Saitama quickly followed his student, leaving behind an afterimage.

As the two moved around at speeds that made it hard for any of the spectators to follow, it seemed as if Genos had the upperhand with Saitama not even so much as responding. As Genos punched holes into a wall, he suddenly stopped, realising Saitama had disappeared, much to the shock of the spectators.

"He's gone? Have I been chasing his afterimage the whole time?" + "Damn this Baldy is fast, where is he anyway?"

Genos quickly turned around, scanning the ground for his teacher. Tatsumaki and the creatures were also looking for the Baldy who seemingly disappeared.

"There!" x Everyone

Genos quickly launched himself in front of Saitama, who, upon seeing his disciple had found him, stopped running. Genos clasped his hands together, revealing 3 layers of canons.

"Incinerate!"

A large cone of fire came from the cyborg, who's hair was being blasted back by the sheer force of the flame.

I got him this time. Master will have to take me more seriously no-behind!" + "Oh, looks like he got the baldy in the- wait, behind him!"

Saitama tapped Genos' shoulder and stuck out his index finger, which touched Genos' cheek.

"Okay, I win."

Genos launched another punch at Saitama who, in the blink of an eye, dodged it, landing behind the cyborg in quite a comical manner as he tried to regain his balance.

"Sensei."

"Yeah?"

"Have you forgotten the rules of the bout? Dodge any attack you are able to dodge, take is seriously and do not fool around. Do not hold back, and keep fighting until I am no longer able to fight.

Saitama only stood there with his blank expression and his arms crossed, trying to make it seem like he's taking it seriously.

"Show me no mercy."

Saitama bent his ankle ever so slightly, that only the spectators above could notice it.

"Finally, the Baldy's going to attack." + "Sensei has powers that even my analysis cannot find the secret to. Perhaps this fight will give me some insight into it."

"Those were the rules, Sense-"

Genos was cut off when Saitama suddenly appeared right in front of him, surprising him and the spectators. He launched a kick that didn't connect, as Saitama appeared behind him, shocking even Tatsumaki with his display of speed.

"What the-"

That was all the shocked cyborg could say before Saitama, with an aura that could only be described in one word, death, launched a punch right at him. Genos and the spectators suddenly realised, this may well kill the opposition.

But before the punch could connect, Saitama stopped, launching a shockwave that blew past the cyborg, giving him a brand new hair style and leaving him in utter shock. Saitama lightly tapped Genos' still face with the back of his hand.

"That fight made me hungry, let's go grab some lunch. I know of a great udon place!"

A simple okay was all the cyborg could muster, as he and the spectators turned to look in the direction of Saitama's punch.

"I'm prepared to do anything in order to get stronger... but, I can't picture myself even approaching Sensei's power. Not at all."

As the dust cleared, all of their eyes widened in shock. The mountain behind Genos, and the mountain behind that mountain, and the one behind that, along with the clouds above said mountains, were cleaved in half.

"He's on a different level..."

"What's the matter, you don't like udon?"

"N-no Sensei, I'm fine with whatever you want."

"Then come on, I'm starving. Hey, you guys wanna come along too?"

Tatsumaki lowered herself and the creatures to the ground and they prepared to bombard the shit out of Saitama with questions.

"WHAT THE HELL BALDY! THAT WAS JUST THE VELOCITY OF YOUR PUNCH! WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL THE CYBORG?"

Saitama could only stand there with his trademark poker face as the group continued to question him, until Genos stepped in.

"Saitama Sensei said he was hungry, can we leave the questions until we are able to dine?"

"Well, I suppose we could grab something to eat. Wait, what about these things?"

Tatsumaki pointed towards the House of Evolution members, to which all of them looked at her with a questioning gaze.

"There's no way we can eat with these guys around, people will just scream their lungs out the moment they laid eyes on them!"

"Oh, I suppose that's true. Hey, does this Hero Association thing have a cafeteria with udon in it? Maybe both the leaders can join us."

"Well, I suppose there's no harm in trying, let me make a quick call."


And that's the chapter. I hope it's not to confusing. Boy, I am really starting to regret the whole "just write what comes to your head" approach I'm having. Having to rewrite the story and trying to make sense of it without having the timeline be completely wrong is just plain annoying. Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys something. For small little events, should I make filler chapters? Things such as "Hammerhead" or Tatsumaki shittalking the shit out of the Hero Association's in charge and other things I don't feel like are needed in the story that I can write some other time basically. Maybe make an entire new story just for them so people won't have to deal with the fillers interrupting the story.

Also, I realised I made a truck ton of mistakes in chapter 1, and will be rewriting them. Don't worry, I'm only referring to things about the story say for example, Tatsumaki mentioning agoni's SON (Goddamnit) was saved by a crab monster. I realised Saitama right there and then should've figured it out, my bad. My other mistakes (Bad writing and such) will stay there so reviews won't be confusing. Just wanted to mention this so if anyone for some reason decides to re read the story, you won't suddenly be curious about a small change.

One more thing, thanks to everyone who read my story and even favourited it, I'm glad I managed to interest you all with my abhorrent writing. Welp, that's enough with this author's note. Do let me know what you think about the filler chapters idea!
