A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Huhu——

With her lost superpowers back under control and her body returning to normal, Tornado stabilized her descent and breathed a sigh of relief.

Johnson...

(?? ?)

The burst of anger unexpectedly dissipated quickly, and Tornado rubbed her forehead, her feelings a complex mix.

Of course, that guy couldn't possibly be killed by my one shot. He obviously took the hit of the telekinetic cannon and used the distance to teleport away!

Unlike Tornado's teleportation, which is a copy of telekinesis, Johnson's teleportation requires the prior construction of a telekinetic channel and determination of coordinates before it can be used.

This limitation means that Tornado cannot use long-distance teleportation like Johnson.

Even though her mental energy reserves were more than sufficient.

At this moment, Tornado could no longer detect Johnson's superpower frequency and had no idea where he had run off to.

This result caused Tatsumaki to waver slightly.

—Being ambushed and suppressed twice, that guy Johnson…

—Is he really... just a little bit better than me?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Tornado shook her head violently, trying to banish the strange thought from her mind.

—How could that be… In terms of superpowers, I am the strongest!

—But the last time someone patted my head like that was the last time…

Memories and reality intertwined, evoking the same warmth as her childhood, and Tornado's little face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Hmph, I don't need anyone... to give me warmth!"

Tornado muttered to herself, habitually giving a stubborn snort.

At this point, her appearance had returned to that of the Hero Association's superpower queen.

The aura of a top-tier expert emanated from her, like a cold mask placed on Tornado's small face.

With a slight flick of her slender, pale fingers, the coat that had been lying in the distance was enveloped in green light and flew over, covering her petite and delicate body.

"Josen... Hmph!"

A dazzling green light shone across the sky as telekinesis erupted, locking onto a Hero Association transport plane that was circling high in the air dozens of kilometers away.

The telekinetic leap was activated, and the body carrying Tatsumaki instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

A cold voice rang out, and the crew members, realizing what was happening, were startled when they saw the tornado suddenly appear inside the cabin.

"Yes!"×N

……

call--

"That was close! I almost got caught!"

The blue light streaked across the sky, flashing and converging into a tall human figure that appeared above the no-man's land in Z City.

Upon returning to Z City, the first thing Qiao Sen did was to check his clothes from head to toe.

Fortunately, he managed to use his force field shield in time to withstand the first wave of impact, and not a single part of his body was lost.

Recalling his experience of almost being blasted off Earth by a single shot, even he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

In any world, emotions are indeed the strongest driving force.

Given the intensity of the psychic power that Tornado had gathered at the time, if that blast had been redirected and aimed at Earth, then future generations of humanity would only be able to see K City in history textbooks.

But this is fine too. As long as it can calm down that green-haired loli who never admits defeat, this beating won't have been in vain.

Thinking this, F-zai suddenly stepped out of his body, a purple card floating in his palm.

Johnson took it and glanced at it: "...Hmm?"

【100,000-Year-Old Iron Wire Vine (SR): Character Card (Monster), a plant-type monster that evolved after accidentally drinking a mysterious liquid, Disaster Level—Dragon. Effect 1: Whiplash: Wields giant vines to launch indiscriminate whipping attacks; Effect 2: Rooted: Recovery speed +100% before leaving the ground.】

"Its size and destructive power are up to standard. It's only a matter of time before it grows up and destroys multiple cities. The disaster level is also marked as Dragon-level, so why is it only SR?"

F-zai glanced at him, then suddenly lowered his waist and stood at attention, swinging his hand down with overwhelming momentum.

Drink——

(ー`?ー)

It looks like some kind of martial arts move?

Johnson still didn't understand, and asked with narrowed eyes, "What... kind of show is this?"

[Hellish Burial Hand Chop.]

Johnson: !

"...BIG daring!"

"That brat is making snide remarks about me again, 'Grandpa Bakuzan, Rank 108 God'!"

In a flash, I returned to Saitama's house. Saitama, who had gone out for his daily training, had not yet returned, and the house was empty.

To make it easier to collect card fragments, Johnson has been staying at Saitama's house during this period.

Since he provided all the food, drink, and other necessities, it was essentially like paying rent.

Saitama had no objection to this, and even expressed his hope that the boss would stay for a long time.

Since he has already made this place his second home, Johnson cherishes his living environment quite a bit.

Once a day, the housekeeping service will come to clean the house and living room inside and out for free. Even the original owner of the house, Saitama, is required to keep it clean and hygienic.

Battle stains such as the blood, organs, and tissues of strange beings are absolutely not allowed to be brought into the house.

For example, when Johnson returned from the battle in K City, his feet didn't touch the ground when he entered the house. He floated directly into the shower room to wash and shower under the influence of his telekinesis.

He has to keep his head down the whole time while floating, and the architectural style of this world is not friendly to someone his height.

Saitama was initially very dissatisfied with this rule.

After all, it's common for single men to be a little sloppy; there will always be a day or two when they don't feel like showering and just go to sleep.

But when he thought about how the other party was a big spender, he immediately felt that the request was very reasonable and not as troublesome as he had imagined.

It's just that after a battle or training session, when you want to go home, you first go to the park and wash your whole body with the free tap water there.

Anyway, no one will see us in the no-man's-land, so we can wash for as long as we want.

Really, it's not troublesome at all.

(☉?☉)

After quickly rinsing off the dust from the battle, Johnson put on loose sweatpants and a fitted short-sleeved shirt and stepped out of the shower.

During his shower, the newly acquired monster card had already been transformed into enhancement material and integrated into Johnson's body.

As a Dragon-level monster with thick skin and tough flesh, the decomposition and enhancement contributed a significant amount to its physical attributes.

Attributes are like bank deposits; the more the better.

However, he could no longer experience the exhilarating feeling of becoming significantly stronger; the improvement he had gained was negligible.

Just like Saitama at max level, he can defeat any monster with a single punch, so there's no real thrill in it.

ding ding ding-

The phone rang, and Qiao Sen put down the towel he was halfway through wiping his hair. A series of crackling blue arcs danced on the ends of his hair as the remaining moisture was evaporated by the high temperature, and he also got an ionic styling treatment.

He glanced at the tall, handsome man with black hair and blue eyes in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and caught the phone that floated onto the table.

"Hello, this is Johnson... Oh, it's King!"

Chapter 106 The Way of the Hero

"Long time no see. You've been back in M ​​City for about half a month now, haven't you?"

Johnson sat down on the sofa, used his telekinesis to grab a bag of snacks, and started chatting with King while eating.

"How's your cultivation going?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qiaosen. After this period of training, I estimate that my electricity level has almost crossed the threshold of 50,000 volts."

Like a primary school student being pulled aside by the homeroom teacher to check his winter break homework on the first day of school, King answered somewhat shyly.

Upon hearing this, Johnson immediately perked up: "Fifty thousand volts? That's pretty good progress!"

“Yes,” King said with a slight embarrassment at the praise, and smiled gently, “Aside from cultivation, most of my breakthroughs actually occurred during battles.”

“I also tested it according to the method you described, and now it’s no problem to shatter small rocks with one punch.”

King and Johnson exchanged a few pleasantries on the phone before King asked, "Johnson, are you free right now? I'm calling to ask you some questions about combat."

“Of course,” Johnson stuffed a handful of snacks into his mouth. “I’m at home in Saitama right now, King. Feel free to ask me anything you want.”
