"Why, when did we become friends?"

Krieg's light words instantly made Saitama's cheeks puff up. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Krieg added another stab, "Come to think of it, it seems Saitama-san doesn't have enough money to ensure balanced and nutritious food."

"Saitama-san, when will you pay me back?" Krieg sighed, and the veins on Saitama's bald head were already exposed.

"I do have a part-time job, don't talk nonsense!" Saitama said with his neck stiff and a guilty look on his face.

"Part-time job?" Krieger stroked his chin, imitating Sherlock Holmes' deduction. "Since it's a part-time job and not a job, it seems you're referring to a place like a convenience store. In other words, you haven't signed a complete contract."

"That's just the unemployed."

"I'm not a vagrant! I'm working, working!" Saitama opened his hands wide and waved them randomly in the air, while muttering incomprehensible words, such as it's impossible to work, sitting in an office building is not suitable for him at all, and he can't always be a hero at work, so he can only make a living by being a hero. When the people who were rescued were grateful to me, it felt like being praised by my family. I love being a hero.

Krieg laughed inwardly after hearing this. It turned out that money was the most useful ability. However, when he heard Saitama's reason for being a hero, he was silent for a moment.

"I understand," Krieg interrupted Saitama's explanation, taking advantage of the gap between his words. "You will become a great hero as long as you hold on to this idea."

So, because of this, I will never be a true hero.

Krieg's words were quite sincere, and Saitama understood what he meant. "Rhinoceros Beetle," Saitama looked at Krieg, "You are a good person."

Is this a good guy card?

Krieg was speechless. He shook his head and made a self-deprecating expression. "So you still haven't remembered my name, right?"

"Ahahaha, how is that possible?" Saitama touched his smooth head, his eyes quickly drifting in Krieg's sight, and then said with certainty, "Your name is Krieg Rhinoceros Beetle!"

, Krieger took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, young man, I don't know this bald guy, please let him go."

"Don't be like this, I want to eat too!"

Half an hour later, in the VIP lounge.

"Is that all there is to it?" Saitama stuffed his mouth with a chilled watermelon. Normally, he wouldn't be willing to buy this kind of fruit. Compared to the money for watermelon, he would rather eat a high-end hot pot. But now the Hero Association is giving it away for free, so of course he has to eat as much as he can.

"Let me see, [Weightlifting] [High Jump] [Shot Put] [Whack-a-Mole] [Punch Strength Test]", Krieg compared the table and sent away the staff who wanted to stay with him with excuses. It was hard for Krieg to accept Saitama's shameless hugging of his thighs, but the staff was too enthusiastic. Until this time, the Hero Association showed goodwill to him, and Krieg had no way to remind the staff in front of Saitama. There was no way to let him leave, so the task of checking the items still fell on him.

"There shouldn't be any problem," Krieg looked up and saw Saitama with his mouth full of watermelon, his face was swollen and there was some red liquid left on his body, which surprised Krieg.

"I'll give you this one too." Krieg, who had never lacked fruit since birth, was actually a little shocked by the way Saitama ate.

"You are such a good person," Saitama took it without hesitation. He didn't feel any guilt at all about taking advantage of the rich. He just had to praise him. He didn't mind eating Krieg out of money. Anyway, he already owed enough, and a little more didn't matter.

"Then all the test items are over, and we just have to wait for the results." Krieg shifted his attention away from the form. A strong murderous aura approached him, and his insect intuition made him notice Genos walking over.

Chapter 159: Eyes Sharpened

Genos approached the two and slowly stopped when he saw how relaxed they were.

This handsome cyborg has thick blond hair and a tough face. Even if he debuted simply as an idol, he would probably be able to charm many women and some men. However, there is an incomprehensible meaning in his eyes now, and Genos' silence makes Krieg very confused.

I wonder if Genos will do anything here.

"Teacher," Genos suddenly accelerated and rushed between Saitama and Krieg, "I will stop him, teacher, please don't worry."

"No..." Saitama looked confused. "Genos, what are you doing? I'm stronger than you. Besides, this Krieg Rhinoceros Beetle is a kind man. Look, he gave me his watermelon."

Only when watermelon was mentioned did Saitama's face become full of joy. Genos blinked his eyes, and the place where the whites of his eyes should have been was actually pure black. It was the first time that Krieg noticed this detail.

Hey, did Saitama call my name wrong again?

"Teacher, have you forgotten that this person is a test subject of the House of Evolution? He must have had bad intentions when approaching you. I think it should be dealt with in a timely manner." Genos raised his hand, and bright yellow flames were already emerging from his hand. Fortunately, this was a separate lounge, so no one noticed this scene.

I didn't attack Genos, and the cyborgs who destroyed Genos's house proved that they were not from the House of Evolution. The last time I left, it was resolved peacefully. Why is Genos so hostile to me?

Krieg's eyes moved between Saitama and Genos, and his eyes suddenly became deep and profound. Could it be that

"I don't know why, but I think you're thinking of something rude." Saitama straightened up and poked his head out from behind Genos, who was pressing him down, holding the last piece of watermelon in his hand. "Genos, don't make attacking gestures all the time. Here, the last piece of watermelon is for you."

"Teacher, please don't distract me at this time." Genos turned his head away. Saitama was about to put the watermelon slice into his mouth. If he didn't turn his head, Saitama's hand would touch his face.

Oh no, Krieg's eyes became sharp.

"So, I always feel that you are thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking about." Seeing that teasing Genos with watermelon was fruitless, Saitama gave up out of boredom. So, in Genos's peripheral vision, he stuffed the last piece of watermelon into his mouth, making a crackling sound like breaking plant fibers.

Genos' lips moved noticeably, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. As for Krieg, his gaze became even sharper!

N!I!C!E!

Krieger and a certain gentleman who was peeping at his mother taking a bath uttered the same exclamation.

"Genos, are you done too?"

Genos nodded, his eyes lingering on Krieg, who gave him a meaningful smile in return, causing Genos to frown.

what's the situation?

Genos was also a little confused. According to his imagination, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle would most likely attack him after being provoked, but what was the reason for this reaction? Could it be that he was a deep-minded person who could hold his temper and deal with my provocation?

No matter what, I have to be careful. Since the teacher thinks he's not dangerous, I'll just show acceptance and keep an eye on him. Genos has a hunch that this rhinoceros beetle, whose strength far exceeds his own, must have its own purpose, and this purpose will definitely threaten them.

Saitama glanced between the two of them, but didn't feel anything was wrong. He wasn't one to read the atmosphere, so his tone remained relaxed. "I'm telling you," Saitama raised his eyebrows slightly, "do you need to take a physical fitness test?"

"Hmm?" Genos raised his body slightly.

Saitama crossed his arms over his chest, thinking thoughtfully, "I mean, your physical fitness can be directly shown."

Genos raised his head slightly, and Saitama looked at Genos' mechanized body. There was a smell of oil at the joints of the components. The parts that should have been hidden under the suit were not even painted, only the original brass color. It was completely different from Genos's silver-white body that had been exposed to the outside world. Just looking at these, one would think it was a semi-finished product.

"Well, never mind." Saitama suddenly felt sorry for Genos, so he took the initiative to change the subject, "How are your grades?"

Speaking of this, Genos Sanwu's face suddenly showed a little smile, "The written test and the physical examination are both meaningless."

"Yeah," Saitama suddenly felt a little complacent. He stroked his chin, closed his eyes, and was slightly proud. "The hero test is too easy."

Genos looked at Saitama, he was also very happy, "The scores will be out soon. 70 points or above will be considered a pass. The written test only contains those kinds of questions and getting full marks should be no problem. The key is the physical test, but I think both the teacher and I can pass it smoothly."

Genos glanced at Krieg at this moment, and then added, "Of course this one too."

Krieg responded with a meaningful smile.

Saitama looked at the ceiling and seemed to mention the content of the written test inadvertently. Genos was happy to share the answers to the written test with Saitama. With his extraordinary memory, Genos could even repeat the answer to each question. Only Krieg noticed that Saitama's forehead was getting more and more sweat.

As I recall, Saitama's grades were terrible, and it seems like Genos didn't notice that at all.

It was just a test at the high school level, so it was certainly not a problem for Krieg. Besides, the falcon could also peek at the answers of other candidates. Just in case, Krieg kept it on standby in the tree until Krieg found that it was almost impossible for someone else to copy his test paper.

Krieg did not intend to participate in the debate between the master and the disciple. He leaned against the wall. Even though he was sitting on a chair, the rhinoceros beetle's huge horn still touched the ceiling. Krieg, feeling helpless, could only close his eyes and rely on the high-speed moving falcon to remember the people here. Maybe they would come in handy someday.

An hour later, the staff knocked on the door several times and delivered the transcripts to the three people inside.

Genos was the first to open the seal. He got full marks in both the written test and the physical test. Saitama came up to him and marveled at his results.

"What does this S-class hero mean?" Saitama asked.

"Rankings are meaningless." Even Genos was somewhat happy about this result. He just wanted to know if the teacher he had chosen had become an S-class hero with him. "What are the teacher's grades?"

Chapter 160 Genos's Speculation

"Let me see," Saitama confidently pulled open the seal, and the envelope folded slightly upwards, revealing half of the transcript, which was the upper part of an "s".

"Ohhhh", Saitama's eyes widened, "This symbol is, it seems I am too"

"S-rank," Genos leaned his head closer, smiling a rare smile, "a very normal result for a teacher!"

"Yeah, I thought it should be like this, and it turned out just as I expected."

"Yes, teacher, and your handwriting is even bigger than my S. You are worthy of being a teacher!"

This is a dog licker. Krieg glanced at the two men, his heart full of anticipation. Knowing what would happen next, he rubbed his hands and waited patiently for Genos's next reaction.

"Speaking of which, teacher, what questions did they ask you during the interview?"

"Interview?" Saitama turned around. "What interview?"

"Hmm?" Genos was a bit puzzled. The Hero Association had specifically approached him for a private interview, so why wouldn't Saitama have gone without one? But he quickly rationalized it, "Maybe my grades are so good, they didn't think an interview was necessary."

"Yeah, hahahaha." Saitama was a little nervous, but after hearing Genos' explanation, he felt relieved. "That should be the case. Did Krieger have an interview?"

"Me?" Krieg narrowed his eyes, while Genos was staring at him intently. "Of course there is, but that's only for contestants like us who don't perform well. People like Saitama-san don't need to be tested."

"That's good, that's good," Saitama finally felt relieved and was ready to take out the report card.

Did he also go for the interview?

Genos didn't have it so easy. During his interview, the staff of the Hero Association gathered together, three of them just to ask him a question about the House of Evolution, and Krieg was the owner of the house. If he went for the interview, what would the Hero Association ask him?

At that point, Genos began to recall the details of the interview.

"Genos, this is the last question," the Hero Association staff member said gravely. The equipment Genos was equipped with could sense the unsteady heartbeats of the three people across from him. The man in the middle of them pulled out a tablet computer, which displayed the upper half of the Evolution House. "Do you recognize this building? This is the organization we've been secretly observing, the Evolution House, that we consider disturbing. We thought we had finally found their base, but it's been completely destroyed without a trace."

"And it was caused by a huge amount of firepower," the staff on both sides began to add, "Did you do this?"

If I carefully analyze the Hero Association's intentions, I can at least confirm that the House of Evolution has been under their observation for quite some time. Perhaps someone with power is acting recklessly, or perhaps someone else has noticed something unusual there. In short, the Association is not completely ignorant of the place. So, what exactly is their attitude towards this rhinoceros beetle?!

Genos stared at Krieg. Ever since Saitama asked the question, his chip had been analyzing his movements and expressions. Unfortunately, Krieg's appearance was too different from that of a normal person, and the chip could not analyze anything. There were only a lot of error pop-ups.

"Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle," Genos decided to take a risk. With Saitama-sensei by his side, he wasn't worried that Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle's rampage would endanger the ordinary people here. While the quiet moment was still going on, Genos suddenly asked, "What is the content of your interview?"

"Content? It's just why I look so weird," Krieg responded with a smile, as if he couldn't understand Genos's deeper meaning at all.

"Is that all?" Genos continued to question. He felt there was something wrong with Krieg's answer. People who lie often repeat the questioner's words, partly as a cover-up, and partly to buy time to think. Genos had always been wary of Krieg's friendliness. His doubts about Krieg's motives went far beyond that. No matter what, he had to find out exactly what the content of Krieg's interview had to do with the House of Evolution!

Krieg raised his eyebrows, "That's all."

"Really? But do you know the content of my interview? The content of my interview..."

"It's the House of Evolution," Krieg interrupted Genos's performance, "Your interview content is about the House of Evolution. Regarding your interview, the Hero Association asked whether it was you who destroyed the House of Evolution."

Krieg's reply was firm and decisive, and his words left no room for doubt.

What? This time it was Genos' turn to be stunned. He had thought of many possible scenarios, but he had never imagined that Krieger actually knew the content of his interview.

The hormone levels were normal, the heartbeat was normal, the pupil size had not changed, and the mechanized body faithfully reflected Krieg's physical condition. Krieg had no intention of hiding these data, but instead allowed Genos to observe them openly.

How could it be possible? He was right! What shocked Genos the most was this. Krieg spoke without a trace of doubt or speculation. He was completely certain of what I had experienced, and his words were accurate to the last detail.

Did you guess it?

Genos mentally dismissed the idea. It was impossible. If he'd guessed it, he wouldn't have sounded so certain. He must have had his own way of learning about my interview. This venue had indeed been used many times, but the interview room was clearly a last-minute decision. And although Genos didn't want to admit it, this guy was definitely with Saitama-sensei, so he couldn't have been eavesdropping.

There were only three people present besides me, and only those three could have leaked my interview details. But the timing doesn't add up. I clearly just finished the interview and immediately came to see Mr. Saitama. A few minutes at most passed between them. Could it be that someone leaked my information to him during that time?!

It was this rhinoceros beetle that interviewed first. Could it be that during this period of time, the House of Evolution and the Hero Association colluded with each other?

No, that's not right. Genos has an amazing guess. Maybe the House of Evolution itself is related to the Hero Association.

Across from him, Krieg maintained a gentle smile, and Genos felt that it contained the confidence of "I've seen through you a long time ago." Although he was not interested in professional heroes, in this situation...

You are indeed dangerous.

Chapter 161 Newly Promoted to A-Rank

Genos's expression became complicated. Krieg knew with his toes that Genos had misunderstood, but he was happy to let the misunderstanding deepen. For Krieg, a Genos who did not trust the Hero Association would be more beneficial to him.

Although Genos has the title of "Unbeatable Legend", his strength is indeed not bad, but he is always defeated by accidents and stronger monsters. The most important thing is that after each failure, Genos will improve his body. In other words, except for Garou, Genos's strength has been greatly improved. It's just that many of the monsters he faces need Saitama to deal with them, so he seems so weak.

Having said that, compared to Saitama, in this world, purely in terms of military strength, which human can be called strong?

Krieg said nothing and let Genos think about it. Anyway, as long as his plan was implemented smoothly, the House of Evolution would indeed be indistinguishable from the Hero Association. Now the only remnants of the House of Evolution were the gorilla who was almost killed, the octopus and the clone Genos. They could all live freely with new identities or incognito. Only the clone Genos chose to work with Krieg.

After all this calculation, the House of Evolution no longer exists. As long as the endless monsters continue to cause damage, the Hero Association will soon forget about this matter. As for Zombieman, the clone Mr. Genos has undergone facial correction, so there is no way Zombieman can tell who he is.

Genos obviously didn't trust him, and Krieg would be stupid not to take advantage of this. He knew that Genos could see changes in his heartbeat, so what Krieg said was indeed the truth. The question of the Hero Association was indeed why Krieg looked like this. They didn't think much of it. After all, the House of Evolution had never let Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle out, and Krieg had been fighting monsters these days. The Hero Association that had contacted Krieg was just a routine inquiry, so Krieg gave an impeccable answer.

He was captured by Frankenstein and transformed. In order to avoid suspicion, Krieg made up a scientist. He then described in detail his story of being seriously ill and having to participate in a dangerous experimental project, but still surviving. With the example of the Zombie Man in front of him, Krieg also plugged some loopholes before taking the test, and the Hero Association chose to believe his statement.

Maybe they will have doubts in their hearts, but simple suspicion is useless. The House of Evolution has disappeared, and Krieg has sent out dangerous signals to Genos. With Genos's aloof personality, it is impossible for him to check with the Hero Association. Even if he really goes to check, there is no evidence to prove Krieg's origin. By the time the smart people in the association find out that something is wrong, Krieg has already completed his plan.

Thinking of this, Krieg, in a good mood, raised the water glass in his hand and toasted Genos from a distance.

"You" Genos was about to speak, but he was interrupted again.

"Wait, this is not right!" Saitama has already taken out the report card, but his back suddenly looks much more desolate. Genos no longer has time to compete with Krieg. Compared with a rhinoceros beetle with bad intentions, he cares more about what the teacher thinks.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Did you do poorly in the interview?"

Saitama turned his head stiffly, holding up the report card with a big C on it, full marks in the physical test, 8 points in the written test, and a total score of 58 points.

Krieg, who had been looking forward to the show's effect, almost burst out laughing. Saitama's grades in the original plot were not so bad. The single-digit scores really made Krieg laugh. The test consisted of half multiple-choice questions, and he only scored 8 points. This was no longer a matter of strength. What kind of bad luck would it take to get such a score?

"So I saw it was the top of the C, no wonder it's a circle bigger." Genos was still able to analyze calmly at this time, but Saitama was about to go crazy, "Analysis of your head!"

"Something must have gone wrong. I'm going to ask these people, no, I'm going to complain directly to the person in charge," Genos' expression was serious. He was sure that Teacher Saitama would not have scored so low a score. Unless Genos's eyes quickly swept across Krieg's face, could it be that he manipulated the teacher's grades?

"I'm sorry, please don't do that!" Saitama's voice changed. "It's so embarrassing!"
