A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

"Yes!!" ×2

……

Similar scenes continued to unfold in various cities as the Hero Association tirelessly searched for the heroes on the list. As each hero was finally confirmed, the new ranking list was officially announced to the public during the nightly news broadcast.

This caused a huge uproar in the public opinion field.

As the Hero Association predicted, the failure of some popular front-line heroes to be selected for S-class caused a large number of fans to launch a furious online attack. Some fan clubs even organized protest marches at Hero Association branches in various cities, showing a "we'll fight you to the end if you don't change the rankings" attitude.

However, these farces did not last long before they subsided.

The reason is that the newly crowned A-class number one, the super popular singer and idol "Sweet Mask," affirmed the newly created S-class in a public interview.

"You mean those S-class guys? I was involved in their review process too. Well, I guess they were alright. They should be able to do their job as heroes without any problems."

“I warned them that if they violated the strength and beauty of heroes, I would personally pull them down.”

The most aggressive "Sweet Mask" fans fell silent as if they had received a royal decree. When he was no longer the big tree standing in front, the few smaller fan groups following behind naturally couldn't make a fuss either.

Chapter 79 The Special Sale Turmoil (Part 1)

Only after the storm has passed can people have time to pay attention to the newly promoted S-class heroes.

Exaggerated ability descriptions, screen full of battle records, and combat photos and videos taken from various channels circulated on the internet one after another, and the onlookers suddenly realized.

Holy crap, these guys look weird at first glance but are actually pretty cool...

That seems ridiculously strong!

That seemingly arrogant samurai uncle could slice through a ten-meter-tall monster with a flick of a toothpick?

The seemingly unassuming white-haired old man known as "Silver Fangs," who is ranked A-class, is actually an incredibly muscular old man with eight-pack abs!

The "metal baseball bat," which looked no different from the delinquents in his own school, smashed the giant monster's head with a single blow.

These intense scenes quickly caused a huge uproar, with netizens jokingly saying, "Coach, I want to learn these too!"

Coach: Get lost! I still want to learn!

Fans photoshopped close-up shots of "Super Cop," "Zombie Man," and "Flash Flash" together, and the appearance of the good-looking group quickly amazed many female fans of BL (Boys' Love), who donated a lot of money and were so engrossed in shipping various CP pairings that they almost fainted.

Soon, the reputation of S-class heroes completely surpassed that of ordinary heroes. Whether fans were drawn to their strength, appearance, physique, or even cuteness, they could always find someone in this group of powerful heroes who matched their preferences. As a result, the overall popularity of the S-class heroes soared, and they gained a lot of new fans.

In any case, the reforms implemented by the Hero Association have yielded the results they desired. People are beginning to pay more attention to the strong rather than those who take advantage of the situation, and the hero industry, which had begun to decay, seems to be getting back on track.

……

this day.

As the evening sun shines down, the whole world is painted with a warm hue.

Ding dong, ding dong!

The doorbell rang, and Johnson dispersed the chakra ball crackling with electricity in his hand, cursing as he ran to open the door.

I wanted to try running before I could walk, but unfortunately I couldn't.

As a result, today was another day of failing at making meatballs.

"Josen, Josen, open the door! Open the door!"

"Come on, come on!"

Upon opening the door, Saitama's increasingly thinning hair came into view.

This guy stood pacing back and forth at the apartment entrance, showing no intention of coming in, his face filled with impatience.

"Saitama, what's up? Uh..."

Before Qiao Sen could even speak, a crumpled flyer was shoved into his hand: "Grand Opening Sale, last day of the consecutive supermarket special sales, location... M City?"

He looked up speechlessly and saw Saitama wearing a repaired blue tracksuit and carrying a woven basket that an older woman would use for grocery shopping.

This is like speechless mom opening the door for speechless, speechless has arrived home.

Johnson pointed to the wall clock in the living room, trying to change Saitama's mind: "No, this supermarket opened in M ​​City, and the closing time is 6 o'clock today. Don't you see it's already 5:40..."

The Saitama we know now isn't the fully-fledged version who can rush from Z City to A City to rescue people just by seeing disaster news. Besides, M City is located southeast of A City, and the distance from Z City to M City is actually farther than the distance to A City.

Despite the persuasion, Saitama remained unmoved: "That's why I came to find you! Johnson, don't you know how to teleport? Couldn't you have taken me with you? Please, please!"

"..."

Oh right, what he said makes a lot of sense. Turns out there's someone like me who's just a tool!

I should have known better than to tell him everything when we were drinking!

As a result, Johnson was successfully persuaded by Saitama.

Urged on by Saitama, Johnson changed his clothes and habitually grabbed a "Limiter Fragment" and put it in his pocket.

A purple hand appeared in the pocket, took the card, and instantly withdrew, demonstrating perfect teamwork in a series of coordinated attacks.

Upon returning, Johnson noticed that Saitama's hair loss was becoming increasingly noticeable, and the progress in collecting fragments was also much faster than before.

No way, no way, this guy isn't going to evolve into a bald cape-wearing hero earlier than in the original story, is he?

Once Saitama completes his upgrade, he won't be able to get free "Limiter Fragments" anymore!

(?_?)

Life is tough, Qiaoqiao sighed.

However, considering that his leveling speed was not much slower than Saitama's, Johnson still cheered himself up.

Let's buy today's special offer vegetables first.

"Hold on tight, we're about to go!"

Saitama, his plan having succeeded, laughed heartily: "Alright!"

A surge of azure psychic energy appeared, and the two figures enveloped by it rippled and disappeared simultaneously.

……

Downtown of M City.

As a large city with a similar area to City A, City M's city center is filled with skyscrapers, with even apartment buildings averaging over thirty stories. The streets are bustling and prosperous, far surpassing the rural city of City Z.

The blue light of telekinesis flashed and disappeared in an instant, and Saitama and Johnson appeared on the pedestrian street in the city center.

Not far away was the large supermarket that was having a grand opening sale, as shown on the flyer Saitama was holding.

"Wow, we arrived in an instant! That was fast!" Saitama's voice brimmed with energy as he compared what he saw with the information on the flyer. "There are still twenty minutes left, we should make it! Wait, these people..."

"Hey, who are you? What are you trying to do by crowding around me? Stop pushing... Someone stepped on my foot."

Saitama's voice grew increasingly doubtful, and his leg, which hadn't even had a chance to step out, was blocked back by the surging crowd.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Johnson, the second-ranked S-class 'Super Cop'?"

"Look, it really is 'Super Cop'!"

"I remember he was a resident hero in Z City, I never expected to run into him in M ​​City!"

"Lord Johnson! I'm a fan of yours, may I take a picture with you?"

"Take a picture! Take a picture!"

……

"It was a mistake. I forgot that I'm a popular celebrity myself now."

Looking at the fans who were crowding around him like zombies, Qiao Sen couldn't help but sigh.

"Joe, Josen...who are these...people? Quick, get them...away from me, I...need to go to the supermarket! Time...time is almost up!"

Saitama, his face contorted from being jostled by the frenzied crowd, struggled to speak. In contrast, Johnson, due to his habitually and passively activating his evolved biomagnetic field, prevented even the most determined fans from getting within half a meter of him, no matter how hard they tried.

The stark contrast vividly illustrates the consequences for men who fail to protect themselves when they are out in public!

"Ahem, I'm sorry for causing trouble. These people are probably all my fans!"

Saitama: "..."

Wow, you're so popular!

Looking at the growing crowds on the pedestrian street, Johnson said to Saitama, "I'll try to distract them in a bit. You can go to the supermarket while you're there. As for whether you can make it before the sale ends, good luck to you!"

"I...can...do it!!"

Chapter 80 The Special Sale Scandal (Part 2)

"I...can...do it!!"

Saitama, who was submerged, spoke with unusually firm voice through the gaps in the crowd.

Johnson: "..."

What kind of incredible perseverance is this?

No wonder the supermarket special offer punches were so terrifying!

After glancing around, Qiao Sen spotted a shop with tables and chairs set up in front of it, then took off, his voice radiating outwards.
