Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

"That is, being a hero requires achievements. Since there are too many C-rank heroes, it's best to complete an event at least once a week, otherwise you might be removed from the hero roster. I wish you the best of luck in getting promoted to B-rank soon."

After Byakuya finished speaking, Saitama's face already showed a troublesome expression.

"See you next time." Bai Ye waved gently and turned to leave.

Saitama watched Byakuya's retreating figure: "Hey, are you leaving?"

"I still have things to finish," Bai Ye said without turning his head.

These people alone are far from enough to make Saitama famous; there is still a long way to go.

……

Late at night, several news items went viral online, attracting global attention.

A riot by demon-level monsters has broken out in Z City, and nearly half the city has fallen.

[Z City Hero Headquarters breaks records: 4 S-rank, 32 A-rank, and 1 C-rank emerged in a single day.]

……

Among these numerous major news items, one stands out for its contrasting nature.

[Shocking! S-Class hero Tanktop Master defeated by a C-Class rookie! Is this a conspiracy by the association or a case of fabricated results?]

Compared to the major events mentioned earlier, the defeat of the well-known Tank Top Master by a C-class hero unexpectedly attracted more attention, and a large number of people quickly clicked on it to see the contents.

On this page, the editor describes in detail the process of how the Tank Top Master came to cause trouble and was then defeated in one move.

The Hero Association's surveillance video was also attached.

Although the video didn't capture Saitama making a move, there's no doubt that the Tank Top Master was about to attack one second, and was sent flying the next.

Following this video, another video and a photo were posted.

The video shows this C-level hero participating in a hero test. His powerful physique, which disappears into afterimages and is so fast that even the eye can't keep up, makes people's adrenaline surge.

"No way, this physical test score is only for a C-level hero!"

On the subway, a commuter scrolling through his phone almost dropped it.

He finally understood what the "Association's Dark Secrets" in the title meant. This was a C-level hero; there was definitely something wrong with it.

However, two pictures were then posted at the end of the post: one was Saitama's hero score, and the other was his written test questions.

"21 points on the written test? How could someone get such a low score on such a subjective and unethical question? What kind of idiot is this?" The office worker complained as he looked at his written test score, and then swiped to the test questions.

[Question 1]: When you encounter a highly destructive monster in a densely populated city center, what would you do?

A: Charge in and knock the enemy down with one punch before causing any damage.

[Question 2]: If you encounter a strange person in a deserted suburb who is stronger than you and is holding multiple hostages, what would you do?

A: They're stronger than me? Then we must fight them hard and rescue the hostages from the enemy!

[Question 3]: When encountering low-level monsters in a children's playground, what would you do?

A: Charge in and knock the enemy down with one punch before causing any damage.

……

"This guy really has no brains!" the office worker thought to himself as he looked at the test questions.

Getting 21 points is probably a favor from the examiners. Does this guy think he's invincible and can knock down anything with one punch?

And this sentiment resonated with countless people who saw the video.

He only defeated an S-rank 14 hero, does he think he's invincible? That's far too arrogant.

So arrogant, talented but immoral, he deserves to only get a C-level hero spot.

However, while they were complaining, a piece of information was indeed successfully implanted into their minds.

This C-rank hero may be arrogant, but he undoubtedly possesses strength above S-rank; he's just not very bright.

Amidst the ongoing discussions, a title was bestowed upon Saitama: [One-Punch Man]

This is a nickname, referring to the way this guy acted on the written test, thinking he could knock anyone down with a single punch.

In his newly settled villa, Bai Ye rested his legs on the table, watching with satisfaction as public opinion soared under his control.

"There's nothing I can't accomplish if I set my mind to something," he said with satisfaction.

With this groundwork laid, others will naturally discover Saitama's shining talent.

Meanwhile, in Gotham City at night, Bloom Gavin, dressed in all black, wandered through the streets and alleys.

Suddenly, a man completely covered in black armor, with only his chin and eyes exposed, stood in front of Bloom Gavin.

“Batman!” Gavin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the man in front of him, feeling like a fan meeting their idol: “Can I follow you? I want to be a superhero too.”

Bruce Wayne stared silently at the man before him, the results of his investigation flashing through his mind.

Bloom Gavin, an employee of one of his own subsidiaries.

During this period, he somehow acquired a large sum of gold and moved into a luxurious villa with his wife and son.

At the same time, his physical abilities inexplicably began to improve, and after solving his financial problems, he imagined himself as a superhero.

Bruce said in a hoarse voice, "I've seen what you've been doing these past few days, but I don't think you're suited for this particular job."

"All of this is just your enthusiasm, and it won't be long before reality washes it all away."

But Gavin didn't listen to him at all: "It's okay, now that I have no financial pressure, it's time to pursue spiritual enjoyment."

Gavin's personality underwent a dramatic change in a short period of time after suddenly receiving a large sum of money. He said in a relaxed tone, "I think I'm the one who can handle it."

Chapter 200 can certainly be used next time.

In the alley, looking at the arrogant man in front of him, Batman couldn't help but frown.

He had seen many such people before, and they would definitely not disappear in the future. Nouveau riche people who are bursting with confidence cannot listen to other people's advice.

"What you do is your own business and has nothing to do with me. Just be careful not to cross the line."

After saying a few words, Bruce turned and left. The difference in their views made him give up the idea of ​​offering further advice.

In the blink of an eye, Gavin was all alone in the cold, damp alley. Looking at the empty alley, he pouted unhappily and said, "I can be a superhero without you. Just you wait."

……

A few days later, in the early morning, Bai Ye got out of the soft bed, stretched, and slowly yawned.

Following his usual routine, after a quick wash, he watched the news on TV.

A lot has happened in the past few days. First of all, the security level in various cities has been greatly improved.

Previously, it was already good if a city had one S-level guardian, but now, with the reincarnators spreading out their presence, it's equivalent to having an average of one more S-level hero stationed there.

Of course, on the contrary! The monsters' destruction became even more rampant with the addition of the opposing faction's reincarnators.

"Yo, Bai Ye, we meet again."

As Bai Ye walked out of the villa and strolled down the street, a vibrant and energetic voice rang out.

Bai Ye didn't need to turn around to know that the guy who was speaking was definitely walking towards him with an arrogant and domineering gait.

Turning his head, he saw Saitama, who was now ranked 3rd in Class B.

After clearly demonstrating Saitama's power, the number of people who previously impersonated Saitama to defeat monsters decreased significantly.

It's only a matter of time before Saitama is promoted to S-class; defeating even a Demon-level monster would significantly improve his ranking.

"I don't remember you usually operating in this area," Bai Ye asked suspiciously, looking around. "There aren't any strange people around here right now. Did you come here specifically to see me?"

“Yes, Shiroya-san, let’s have a fight.” Saitama clenched his fist and looked at her seriously.

"Are you crazy?" Bai Ye rolled his eyes and said, "I'm all skin and bones. If you want to kill me, just say so. Don't use fighting as an excuse."

“I can tell that Bai Yesang is completely different from the others.”

Seeing Bai Ye's complaints, Saitama couldn't help but become serious and said, "In the past few days, I can clearly feel that your threat to me has almost doubled, although it is still negligible."

"You don't have to say what comes next." Bai Ye gazed at the bustling streets in the distance and asked, "I really think you're a strange person. Why are you so obsessed with having an evenly matched opponent?"

"Isn't it good to be invincible?" Bai Ye asked, puzzled.

“But that would take away the thrill of battle,” Saitama replied matter-of-factly to the question.

"I remember you weren't a battle maniac before you gained this power, were you? You were a salaryman who didn't fight back even when you were bullied in high school, right? You're the only one who would be troubled by something as good as gaining power."

Bai Ye couldn't understand the other person's thought process. When they were powerless, they didn't fight back against the bullying of others, but when they had power, they started looking for opponents.

"So let's fight!" Saitama repeated, a fighting glint in his eyes.

"Damn, I feel like I'd look stupid fighting you," Bai Ye refused without hesitation.

If it were some kind of unconventional battle like the "Fastest Woman's Thousand-Man Slayer," he might consider it, but fighting Saitama is completely not worth it.

What if I get caught up in the game halfway through and, like this idiot, get all fired up and start taking it seriously?

After the battle is completely over, my physical attributes will probably skyrocket to a level where my mental attributes have no end in sight, which is completely meaningless.

"Please, Byakuya-kun, this is my lifelong request." Saitama quickly stepped in front of Byakuya, giving him a perfect 90-degree bow, his tone utterly sincere.

Feeling a bit of a headache from being pestered by this fool, Bai Ye said seriously, "I can fight you, but you have to bring me a beautiful woman!"

"Hey! Are you some kind of Master Roshi?" Saitama stared at Byakuya in astonishment: "In modern society, kidnapping people is illegal."

"That's your problem," Bai Ye said with a smile.

Watching Bai Ye's slowly receding figure, Saitama began to seriously consider this question.

He recalled the mechanical man who came to his door wanting to become his apprentice after he defeated the swarm of mosquitoes yesterday. If he tricked him into dressing as a woman, would it be possible to fool Bai Ye?

While Saitama was pondering, he didn't see a dark shadow streak across the sky, flying towards the direction of Byakuya.

"I can't take it anymore, please accept my love for you."

On the street, a muscular man dressed in a black and white prison uniform, with a stubble on his face, blocked Bai Ye's way, his expression filled with longing.

The surrounding crowd stared in astonishment at the two men on the street, but in the prison man's eyes, there was only the man in front of him who seemed to be radiating light.

"I am an S-class hero, the sexy prisoner!" The man in prison uniform stood in front of Bai Ye and introduced himself: "Because I saw your heroic figure on TV while I was in prison, I couldn't help but break out of prison to see you."

"If you accept my love, I promise that from now on I will be chaste and devoted to... Ahhhhhh!"
