Testing the Strength of Monkey Sensei

Nate is stretching her arms for a bit before standing in her calm and defensive stance while Mumen Rider, real name Satoru, is standing across from her about 20 feet and slight move his right foot forward.

One more second later, Satoru charges forward throwing some quick punches at Nate who easily parries them away with one arm and threw a hand thrust pushing him back.

"Good charge, you kept your defense up along the way. That way, you won't have to worry about getting hit back from your charge." Nate complimented.

"Thank you, better to go with defense than the usual offense." Satoru thanked.

Satoru charges at his sparring partner again doing some punches again then adding a few kicks to throw her off a bit, but Nate blocks them all without much effort and counterattack with some hits and an uppercut to knock him down.

However, Satoru was able to withstand that last hit and quickly grabs into her hand to move it down to make her lean forward a little for him to throw a fast punch to the face that seems to land on the target.

"Very good." Nate smiled.

The scene zooms out a little revealing that Nate had caught the punch with the palm of her hand at the very last second before Satoru's punch made contact.

"Using your opponent's strength against them can definitely help in battle." Nate said.

"And I thought I had you." Satoru chuckled.

The bike riding hero lifts both legs in the air while using Nate as a way to hold himself for a double kick attack on the stomach, that pushes her away about a few feet or a little bit more.

Satoru performs a backflip to land on his feet, but this time Nate charges at him and threw a swing kick on the stomach that made him gasp in then going in for some barrage of strikes forcing him to hold up the defense.

"(Damn it, Nate is really strong with her half-monster blood and her skills are something else!)" Satoru thought grunted at how hard Nate is hitting him.

But Nate easily broke through the defense with a strong punch then threw an instant kick to down on the head knocking him down.

Satoru only had enough energy to flip himself onto the back to see Nate above him and was about to throw down a punch to the head.

"That's enough!" Azuma called out and Nate stop her fist that was five inches away.

"I really thought you were going to throw me down like that." Satoru sighed in relief that the sparring match is done.

"Relax, I was only going to knock you unconscious for a few minutes, or maybe an hour." Nate said as she offered him a hand.

Satoru let out a chuckle knowing what she just said is true given how strong she is in the strength of pure combat, that she's only below her mother and Azuma, and he took the hand to get himself back up.

The reason everybody in Azuma's group is here in the forest and mountain is because the monkey hero himself wants to do some training, and to test out Genos since his fight with Mosquito Girl.

"Honestly, I don't even know why I'm here too." Ka sighed, sitting with Yurei and Musashi cooking up some BBQ.

"Well done, Satoru. Looks like you're getting better with your martial art skills." Azuma said walking up to them.

"Thank you, I have you and your teachings to get me through the tough times." Satoru bowed to his master/friend.

"Can you believe it's only been almost two years since Azuma took in that weakling of a bike rider under his wing?" Kimi asked, making Satoru feel hurt a bit.

"That's around the time before I met you guys and before Azuma joined the Hero Association." Tomo recalled those times.

"That's right, Satoru became a hero before them and rose to the number 1 spot of the C-Class even though he wasn't all that impressive himself." Turenne shrugged, making Satoru feel hurt a bit more.

"Are you really going to let them talk to you like that?" Naomasa asked the bike hiding hero.

"It's okay, I actually had those kinds of talk behind my back when I was a rookie hero." Satoru assured.

"Still, the Hero Association is still relatively new since it was founded three years ago." Masazumi mentioned.

"I did a little research on that, the man who founded the Hero Association Agoni. He got the idea of forming a group for everyone to become heroes after hearing about his grandson being saved by a man who was walking by." Genos explained on what he knows so far.

"Yeah, we heard about that too." Azuma said.

"I tried to do a little research about the guy who saved the grandson but couldn't find anything about the man." Masazumi mentioned.

"Perhaps the boy should have been more specific if what the man looks like." Futayo commented.

"Well, whoever that man was, he sure did a good job in inspiring the hero to have others unleash their inner heroes!" Azuma smiled as he looks up at the sky.

Azuma can still remember the day the black hair man saving him from that four-armed tiger man that tried to kill him, that man wanting to be a hero to save lives even at the cost of his own and dying after knowing that Azuma is alright along with making the promise to be a hero for him.

"Thank again for letting me come with you into the forest and mountain to do some more training." Satoru thanked.

"No problem, anything to help a friend though I also heard you refuse to move up the ranks again. You really need to stop holding yourself down with all the good you've been doing." Azuma scolded his friend.

"Sorry, it just there are still a lot of things I can't do with my current strength and I'm worried that my strength may not be enough to make a difference." Satoru said, looking a little sad.

"Just because bad things are still happening in the world doesn't mean we should give up on the world itself, we all have to keep on trying in order to truly make a difference." Tomo stated.

"She's right, take me being a monster who is also a hero for the Hero Association. It was a struggle for everyone to accept me, and harder for my daughter since she's a hybrid." Turenne mentioned.

"If it wasn't for Azuma being there for us, convincing the Association and the people to start trusting us then we might've become villains instead of heroes." Nate added with a kiss on Azuma's cheek.

"While being stronger is a good thing, you have to remember that your heart can make your stronger." Azuma said.

"Okay, that definitely cheered me up." Satoru smiled.

"Your words have touch me deeply, Master Azuma. I will try to live up to them." Genos determined greatly.

"Oh, he's being such a cute little robot student." Kimi teased.

"Please, don't encourage him." Azuma exclaimed a bit.

"Alright, Genos, get into your battle stance because we're going to be doing our own combat training right now." Azuma instructed as he moves away from the group.

"Thank you for agreeing to let me test your power and collect some good data for Naomasa and the professor for my future upgrades and such." Genos thanked as he stands for the spot.

"No problem, if it helps you be a greater hero to save lives and all." Azuma nodded.

"Now to really gauge my power compared to yours, I'm only going to be doing some defense with one arm and my tail as well. You're gonna have to really give me all out if you're gonna make me fight back with more of my body." Azuma explained the purpose of this training.

"That is fine, I too also wanted to show you what I'm capable." Genos nodded and his battle starts to glow.

"Okay, let see how our new robot toy will fair against our monkey God." Miriam smirked.

Genos get into his battle stance while Azuma just stood normal with one hand out and his tail flexing itself, after a moment of silence with Genos giving off an intense stare at his monkey master, he knew he has to make the first move.

After Satoru took a sip from his water bottle, a drip of water jumps out from his mouth and drops right onto the ground.

Genos made an instant move toward Azuma with a flying kick to the face only for Azuma to lean backward the last under a split-second moment when the foot was about to make contact, the cyborg young man stop himself in midair with a blast to spin around and throw a roundhouse kick for the head again.

However, this time Azuma didn't dodge as the attack was stopped by his tail catching the metal leg.

"(Even his tail is strong!)" Genos thought shocked.

Azuma flings his tail to throw his cybernetic student to the side though Genos was able to regain his balance and comes in again, going faster and striking harder from four lines yet the monkey hero either dodges or parries them away easily.

Then Genos goes above Azuma for a powerful axe-kick on the head yet Azuma counters with his fist clashing with that foot causing a big shockwave and creating a new large crater below his feet.

"Hmm, good strength in that kick." Azuma complimented.

"Show him what you got, Papa!" Yurei cheered.

Azuma moves his fist to the side a little causing Genos to be spinning in the air though he starts moving around and throws a strong punch at Azuma, but he blocks it with his right arm push the metal fist back sending Genos flying again.

"Don't think I'm done!" Genos unleashed an energy ball at Azuma.

Azuma saw this and didn't bother to dodge as he easily deflects the blast, but that was soon revealed to be a distraction for Genos to get in closer to his master and start throwing some fast and powerful barrage of punches causing giant blast of shockwaves to form around them.

"Man! Genos doesn't really hold back!" Nate surprised.

"Yeah, he really wants payback on that cyborg who killed his family and meeting Azuma seem to really spark the need to gain strength like he does." Naomasa explained.

"Wow! They're really going all over the place!" Yurei amazed.

"Literally!" Ka gasped.

Azuma and Genos are moving all over the battlefield with the latter trying to use more power his cybernetic body can unleash, the second strongest hero in the world is currently blocking and parrying away Genos' punches with one hand while making craters around them as well.

Just when Genos was about to throw another punch at his master, he suddenly found Azuma has disappeared from the spot and was trying to locate him.

"You definitely got speed to go along with all that power." Azuma said, revealing himself to be right behind Genos.

"But you're being too focus on what's in front of with your eyes that you can't focus your other senses to feel everything around you." Azuma lectured with a gentle touch on Genos' shoulder.

And then Azuma pushes Genos down to send him crashing down into the ground much to his utter surprise, but he won't give up that easily and put his hands together to form the powerful energy cannon and blasted the giant blast at Azuma.

Azuma is surprised to see that Genos can unleash that much at once.

"Maybe I should go have a chat with that doctor guy of his." Azuma said but should probably get back to Genos first.

Azuma let out a fierce grunt and his green Ki aura spiked so strong that it not only block Genos' most powerful attack, but it also cancels out the attack with just him powering up.

"No way!" Genos shocked.

"Hey Genos, how about we call it for today? I think you gotten enough data on me." Azuma suggested as he comes back down.

"…Not yet, just a little more." Genos charged fast to throw a kick.

However, what it looks like Genos finally landed a successful kick is actually an afterimage and the real Emerald Ape God is right behind Genos and his fist glowing of his Ki and threw the powerful punch that even Genos doesn't need the calculation to know that he will NOT survive this punch.

But the punch never made contact to his face because Azuma stops it about three inch close, and there is also a really strong shockwave from that punch that blew nearly everyone away.

"Now we're gone here, Genos." Azuma smiled.

"Master Azuma, I managed to save our Udon noodles and BBQ!" Musashi informed.

"Great! We'll be right there!" Azuma responded loudly and waving back at her.

"Come on, let's go have some lunch and maybe we can review on what we learned today and see if there is something you can do later." Azuma ordered as he walks back to the ground.

Genos watch his master going to the group for some BBQ lunch and his thoughts are going on with how Azuma completely trash him in that combat training, and he only landed one hit with that mighty push sending him into the ground and cancelled his strongest attack back there too.

"(I would do about anything to get stronger, which is why I had my body be turn into a cyborg.)" Genos thought remembered his purpose of becoming a cyborg.

"(However… I don't think I will ever get even close to 10% of his full power.)" Genos thought turned around and saw there is a GIANT hole of the cliff that about 97% is destroyed from Azuma's punch.

"(Master Azuma is truly the most powerful man on the planet.)" Genos thought believed strongly.

"Hey Genos, aren't you coming to eat? Naomasa said you can still eat food like a normal human!" Masazumi called out.

"Yes, I'll be right there." Genos said and powerwalk over to the others.

"You guys were moving so fast; I could not keep up with you! But the shockwave sounds were definitely telling me how intense that spare was." Ka amazed with their speed.

"Well, it's how training can do when you're surpassing your limits." Azuma chuckled.

"Not to mention totally awesome! It's like you're the main character from the end of the series slap in at the beginning!" Magla commented excitedly.

"You think so? I guess it would make sense if you think of me like that." Azuma chuckled while eating his large plate of food, but then he and everybody became shocked upon hearing a new voice just now and look up to see it's Margot and Magla.

"Hey guys, hope you don't mind if we drop by." Magla greeted as they fly down to the group.

"It's those winged girls from the seminar! Why are you here?" Futayo asked shock.

"We came out here for a little nature outing along and to help Magla relax since she gotten stressful with new release of her manga chapter." Margot answered.

"Wait, you're a manga artist who wants to become a hero? That's unexpected." Nate surprised.

"I thought about heroes being a great source of materials for me to come up with some new things for my manga books, and to see if some of the heroes have their own pervert sides!" Magla giggled with a grin.

"Pervert side?" Yurei confused on that.

"Don't pay attention to that, sweetie." Kimi advised.

"Gacchan likes to do some doujin drawings and scenes for her manga books." Margot explained.

"HEY! How about you tell us your hero names! I'm interested to hear what you came up with!" Satoru suggested quickly, not wanting to reveal this to a little girl so soon.

"Oh yeah, I also want to hear what hero names Genos, Naomasa, and Futayo picked out for themselves." Azuma said.

"If you wish, my hero name is Demon Cyborg because when I go to eliminate the threats, I would look like a demon." Genos revealed his hero name.

"I'm going with something simple, Jizurisuzaku." Naomasa smiled proudly of the name which tells the others she must really like that name.

"I am the Slicing Dragonfly because I will slice my enemies up with my spear before they could even know what happened." Futayo shared her hero name as she points her spear.

"We decided to go with Angels for each of us, but different. I'm the Black Artist Angel!" Magla bragged.

"And I'm the Golden Coin Angel!" Margot smiled; the coin part confuses the group.

"Well, cheers to new friends and heroes working together to keep the world safe!" Azuma raised his meat.

"Cheers!" Everyone cheered together.


KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Well, now Genos has seen it for himself how crazy powerful Azuma is during that combat training and he's right that he may never come close to his strength, and the duo angels showed up as some revealed their hero names. I hope think they're cool!
