the next morning.
"This is the warning proposal for this time. Because the Hero Association has been wasting a lot of money recently, public donations alone can no longer sustain such a large scale. Therefore, the budget will be reduced significantly this time. Not only this time, but all future activities will be submitted to us for approval. As Argni's secretary, we have the right to manage the association's accounts."
"What?" Shi Chen was the first to object. "Do you know what you're talking about? The frequency and destruction of monster activities have clearly surpassed those of the past. The last giant incident wiped out a major city. Even so, you still have to control the budget?"
"Yes, Minister Shichen, I can understand your work. Please understand mine as well. Many accounts of the Hero Association are inconsistent. We can pretend not to see it this time, but we can't guarantee it next time." Algeni's secretaries all had slicked-back hair. Krieg sat in the back corner and counted them one by one. There were sixteen people, including auditors and airborne managers. It seemed that the wealthy Algeni was really concerned about this matter.
It's ridiculous that the Hero Association is responsible for all areas, but no matter how big the headquarters is, the power allocated to each city becomes insignificant. Perhaps the people here are used to living in danger at any time. Otherwise, the Hero Association, which is a mess, can be easily infiltrated by a weirdo with a little brain. What can stop those who are interested is not the Hero Association's self-righteous defense, but the bloated system that has become hopelessly rotten.
The people here are really generous. Krieg could only sigh again.
This meeting had been going on for nearly two hours. Unlike the bureaucratic jargon, the people here were indeed discussing the issues seriously. Although the topic was clear, it only took up three minutes. The rest of the time was spent on quarrels that were not even worth discussing. They were so childish that they could not be called a means of communication. Krieg was drowsy after listening to them.
If the meteorite doesn’t come soon, I won’t be able to bear it anymore!
Krieg looked around the room. Yata was taking notes seriously, and Kinos was also very serious, folding paper cranes. There were also a few pot-bellied guys playing with their mobile phones. The rest of the people were talking about what to eat later, and some complained about this job. Obviously, internal meetings could at least maintain superficial cohesion, but as soon as other forces joined, these people started to slack off, and it was unclear whether they were expressing protest or exposing their true nature.
Kinos noticed Krieg's gaze, and he raised a thousand paper cranes and gently passed them across his neck.
Krieg shook his head slightly, "Not the time," he had to say it, there was nothing he could do about it, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was too big, Krieg really couldn't do anything big. After getting the response, Kinos curled his lips and turned his attention back to origami.
"We cannot accept this proposal. The Hero Association is an organization that is funded by the public!"
"This isn't a proposal, it's a notice. The funds you're raising won't even cover half of our daily expenses. If you refuse, we have the right to withdraw funding from the Hero Association."
It was so boring. Krieg leaned against the wall. It was too hard for him to endure this kind of thing. He hoped that the reward for this endurance would be perfect.
Three days later, at the Hero Association headquarters.
[The Durin Danger Index has risen from six to nine]
"Has the meteorite suddenly deviated from its trajectory?" After receiving the intelligence from the Academy of Sciences, the Hero Association convened a meeting as quickly as possible to discuss how to deal with the meteorite crisis. "Understood, we will also discuss countermeasures!"
On the other side, City Z.
"So, why did you follow me?" Saitama scratched his head. Krieg was sitting leisurely on his balcony. Earlier, Krieg came alone and, on the pretext of needing to observe astronomical phenomena, he forcefully smashed the wall of Saitama's house and stuffed his body in. At the same time, he also brought in an astronomical telescope that looked very valuable, which directly occupied half of Saitama's small home.
If Genos hadn't seen the telescope, he would have thought Saitama was attacked when he came to learn technology in the morning. However, he immediately realized that Saitama couldn't afford this thing, so he sneaked in carefully and just saw Saitama complaining.
"Bald, do you want to be famous?" Krieg adjusted the knob. It was really difficult to observe the meteorite in the daytime light, but the air in this uninhabited area was very good, and it was the only area in the city that was not polluted.
"Who is bald? You damn rhinoceros beetle!" Saitama's emotions always get out of control whenever the top issue is brought up, which is similar to what Pavlov did with his good friends in the human world.
Genos watched the two people arguing and wanted to go up and persuade them, but his cell phone ringing interrupted him.
"Hello, this is Genos."
"Are you going over there now?"
"Ok."
Saitama's attention was diverted. He gave up bickering with Krieg and turned to look at Genos. "Your tone is wrong. What's wrong?"
"Yes," Genos looked up from his phone. "I don't know why, but the Hero Association suddenly called me over. You two, I'll excuse myself first."
"You're leaving right after you got here? Maybe they're going to fire you," Saitama joked.
"Then I'll go first," Genos ignored Saitama and flew out of the big hole opened by Krieg.
Finally, the meteorite is coming, and I’m almost suffocating!
Krieg wanted to laugh out loud. The meteorite in City Z was the best and closest opportunity. The plan to use the aftermath to control the Hero Association was finally about to begin. Fortunately, he was not disappointed.
"Krieg, why do you look so strange?" Saitama sat back on the blanket, then crawled over to Krieg using his hands and knees. "Is the astronomical telescope fun? Let me take a look."
Krieg dodged to the side. Now the thing was of no use, so Krieg said generously, "Here you go."
"Okay, okay," Saitama was completely unaware of what Krieger was saying and was simply adjusting the knob.
Congratulations, you don't have to take the blame this time. Krieg patted Saitama's shoulder and said, "But I have one condition. Here is my new camera. All you have to do is record the anomaly in the sky. As long as the recording is complete, I can cancel your debt."
This time Saitama understood. He looked at Krieg in confusion, wondering why this guy suddenly became so kind.
"You may not believe it, but I'm an avid astronomer, so please just record the video from this position and don't leave," Krieg gave Saitama a big smile. After getting Saitama's promise, Krieg ran out through the gap.
Chapter 185 Silver Fangs (Fourth update, please subscribe)
City A, headquarters of the Heroes Association.
"Oh, are you Genos?"
As Genos was approaching the Hero Association with his weapon box, he heard a gentle voice calling him. Genos turned around and saw an energetic old man waiting for him there.
"Who are you?" Genos stopped when he saw the old man who knew his name.
The old man stretched out two fingers, put them together and pointed to the sky, his white hair trembling slightly. "My name is Bangu, please give me your guidance."
Bang, Genos's electronic eyes began to scan the old man, Silver Fang, who was ranked third in S-class, and his strength was undoubtedly powerful.
Genos didn't know why this elusive S-class hero was here. Considering his own experience, could it be the same reason as his?
"The association asked me to come here," Genos asked tentatively.
"I know," Silver Fang said, hunching his back. Genos was wary of his powerful stance. "Everyone in the association has gone to headquarters," Silver Fang continued. "This branch is completely empty. You and I are the only S-Class heroes summoned."
The implication in Silver Fang's words made Genos a little suspicious, "What's going on?"
"Those who didn't come were either too far away, or were busy with other things, or some were just cold-blooded people who found the trouble difficult," Silver Fang surveyed the empty hall. "Because once summoned by the Hero Association, you're basically dealing with difficult and thorny issues."
"But this time, even I don't know what to do," Silver Fang's face darkened. "This time, we're facing the worst Dragon-level situation. They've pushed this onto me. In 35 minutes, a giant meteorite will fall into City Z, and the Association has requested that nearby S-class heroes handle it."
"Meteorite?" Genos stretched his neck a little in surprise, partly because of the news of the meteorite, and partly because he remembered that Krieg was holding an astronomical telescope!
That guy already knew about this?!
"Yeah," Silver Fang said, slightly surprised. Genos's excitement had exceeded his expectations. He had thought this newly minted hero was a calm person. "They say it suddenly went off track. It looks like the meteorite will flatten this place as well. If it falls, City Z will be finished."
"There's nothing we can do this time. Just take your family and friends and run away."
Genos fell silent for a moment, his eyes darkening. "Do the citizens know about this?"
"The crash site was identified 30 minutes ago and an evacuation alert was issued. A major panic is imminent."
"What are you going to do?" Genos looked directly at the silver fangs and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Stop yelling and call me Mr. Bang." Silver Fang seemed to want to say something, but in the end he was turned away.
"Aren't you going to take shelter?"
"I can't abandon the dojo passed down from my ancestors, after all..."
"After all, he is the successor of Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist," Krieg pushed open the door and walked in leisurely. Silver Fang, who had just got into position, was distracted. Even though he was already a martial arts master, he still sprained his ankle because of Krieg's appearance.
This guy, what a powerful aura! Bang's eyes grew serious. He raised his foot and swung it twice rapidly, temporarily suppressing the discomfort in his ankle. "Weirdo?!"
"Let's not talk about what kind of weirdo would honestly walk through the door to the Hero Association," Krieg spread out his hands, his originally streamlined muscles swelled, and as he moved with simple movements, the overlapping muscles made a small friction sound, but in Bang's eyes, it was a different scene.
Is this Ming Jin?
Bang jumped back two steps. He said that he couldn't deal with the meteorite because of the incompatibility of martial arts. As the third S-class, Bang had a record of killing two dragon-level monsters in an instant in the original work. He was not afraid of Krieg's existence, but was shocked by Krieg's way of exerting force.
This weirdo is a rare talent for martial arts!
"I've already told you, I'm not a weirdo." Krieg didn't know what Silver Fang was thinking, but he could clearly see his wary look.
"This is the last hero in Class A, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, Krieg." Genos had no intention of kicking someone when they were down, but instead formally introduced Krieg, which surprised Krieg.
"Yeah, I have a good relationship with Genos's teacher."
Is that what you call a relationship? Genos, who had just introduced Krieg, twitched his lips.
So Genos has a teacher. What kind of person is this teacher who can train an S-class hero? Silver Fang's eyes turned.
"You two, please stop making eye contact. Please consider my height." Krieg had already squatted down, but he was still a little taller than Genos, so it was difficult to keep track of the changes in their eyes. "If you don't mind, let's go take a look at the meteorite."
None of the three were slow to act, and they reached a consensus simply through body language. Krieger walked in front, leading the other two forward.
"My amazing young man, I think you seem to know the location where the meteorite fell?" Silver Fang spoke first while they were on the road.
"Actually, I'm one of the management members of the Hero Association. Does the old man mind me being in front?" A green light flashed in Krieg's eyes. Kinos was hiding in the headquarters openly, relying on the nano-level retinal screen to guide Krieg's direction.
Silver Fang shook his head. The more he observed this uninvited A-level hero, the more satisfied he became with this guy's aptitude. The Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle was a perfect creature that Dr. Genos had directly debugged from the genetic map, so Krieg was naturally the most talented guy Bangu had ever seen. Even from a purely physical point of view, Silver Fang's incompetent apprentice could not compare to Krieg. Bangu naturally had a heart for talent.
"Of course I don't mind, but I see that you are not only very familiar with the location of the meteorite, but also seem to have some ideas of your own for resolving this crisis?"
"My method?" Krieg stepped on the wall and jumped from one building to another. "Find the meteorite and smash it. Does that count as a method?"
Silver Fang was amused by Krieg's words. Even the unreliability of his qualifications was explained away by Bangu as the arrogance of youth. "So you are confident that you can break the meteorite?"
"Of course," Krieg said without even turning his head. The feeling of flying in the city was so great that Krieg couldn't wait!
Silver Fang smiled and shook his head, another bragging kid.
Chapter 186 Countdown
"Let me ask you one more question. Regarding the meteorites, do you have any hope of solving the problem? I am completely powerless against meteorites. I am just doing the best I can."
Silver Fang didn't want to see the two people go to die, so he tried to persuade them in a veiled way. Without facing the danger of Dragon Level, these two newcomers would not understand how terrifying the existence in this world is. Meteorite is completely different from the monsters they have seen. They can't accomplish anything with just passion.
"I have an idea," Genos held up the box in his hand, "this test subject."
"Oh?" Silver Fang raised his eyebrows. "Test subjects, are they about cyborgs?"
"Yes," Genos replied with a single word, and then he didn't say anything more. Bang, a seasoned man, knew Genos didn't want to continue, so he didn't force it. Everyone has their own secrets, their own hidden tricks, and Bang was no longer in the age of curiosity.
On the other hand, Bang was observing Krieg, who was a true genius in martial arts.
Krieg didn't know what Bang was thinking, but his curiosity was completely aroused. Although he was an old man with white hair, Silver Fang's running speed was no less than that of the two of them. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Krieg and Genos could not fly, but in terms of speed alone, Silver Fang was not inferior to anyone.
What's more, Krieg observed Bang's pace with his peripheral vision and imitated it in his own pace. Just by putting force in different places, he could save a lot of energy. Not only that, as long as he followed Bang's rhythm, he would vaguely feel that his speed had increased a lot, but the burden on his body did not change.
Martial arts
Is this young man imitating me?
Bangu deliberately changed to a new pace, and sure enough, Krieg also changed his rhythm as he expected. Not only that, although they were two completely unrelated rhythms, Krieg learned it the next second after he changed.
Perhaps it wasn't mastery, perhaps it was simply imitation. Bangu's breathing speed increased a little, which was the only way he could comfort himself. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Bangu's reason told him that Krieger had indeed learned his steps. Imitation to this extent was no different from mastery.
No, I have to save this young man. There is still no completely orthodox successor to the Flowing Water Rock-Breaking Fist. The most talented Garou betrayed the gym, and the loyal Cha Lanzi is not talented enough. It must be that God took pity on me and gave me such a genius before the meteorite fell. My Flowing Water Rock-Breaking Fist is a perfect match for him. Even if I have to tie him up, I must make him learn it!
When he thought of this, Silver Fang immediately became worried about Genos's secret weapon. Not to mention whether he could survive this meteorite disaster, what if this genius named Krieg died? Although the martial arts forces are powerful, they are all supported by a few old guys. None of the fresh blood has reached the level of us old guys. I can't take this risk.
"Um, Krieg," Bang said, even though he was a master, he was not one to be proud. Facing Krieg's talent, Bang's admiration was enough to restrain his reserve. "I see you've been imitating my steps. Do you want to learn?"
"I just think it's amazing," Krieg said. He didn't know what Bangu meant. The old man's smiling face made it impossible for him to tell what Bangu was thinking. So he chose a compromise statement, "It seems that following the old man's movements will make the journey easier."
"That's right," Bangu suddenly took a deep breath and with just a light tap of his toes, he rushed out dozens of meters. "The boxing style I practice is called Flowing Water Rock Breaking Fist, and this step is one of the elements of Flowing Water Rock Breaking Fist. I wonder if you are interested in this boxing style."
Interested, of course he was interested. Krieg knew his own mental state, and although he was completely confused about what was going on, since Bangu had spoken, he had to learn.
"I'm very interested," Krieger replied.
"That's good, I mean very good," Bang stroked his graying beard to ease his impatience, "My gym is quite famous here. If we can survive this danger, you are welcome to come and visit."
"Of course, I'm also curious about martial arts," Krieg's affirmative answer made Bang's hair stand on end.
【Emergency Evacuation Alert】
[Disaster Level: Dragon]
[The situation is extremely critical. Please evacuate as soon as possible. There are still 20 minutes until the giant meteorite falls. This impact will completely destroy City Z. Please seek refuge far away as soon as possible.]
The loudspeakers kept broadcasting disaster warnings, and the crowds piled up. The traffic jams blocked all roads, including the crosswalks. Even if someone abandoned their property and cleverly used bicycles to leave the city, it would be impossible. The meteorites in the sky were already visible to the naked eye, and the entire sky was painted red and yellow starting from the meteorites.
"There is no hope, just wait to die."
"We can't live without each other. I give up."
"Where are the pro heroes? No, they can't do that either."
The crowded crowd had given up trying to survive. A meteorite of this size was falling, and unless they could run out of City Z in the next second, they might even have to run out of the cities near City Z. They were powerless to do anything about this astronomical disaster and gave up resistance.
"You two," Silver Fang made up his mind, "You two go first. I'm sorry to let you be dragged down by this old man. I also want to save this place in my own way." Bang was not modest. Even if he was an S-class hero, he could not fly in the air like Genos. As for Krieg, the wings folded behind him did not look like decorations. Silver Fang, who could only run on the ground, was not slow, but he really could not keep up with the speed of flying. Since Genos thought he had a way to deal with the meteorite, all he had to do was trust the young man.
This world will not be destroyed today. Even if it costs my life, I will protect our family's dojo for generations!
"Young man, your name is Krieg, right?" Silver Fang stood in place with a determined look on his face.
"Yes."
"I have left the secret manual of the Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist in the dojo. If I don't return, I hope you won't let it be lost."
""
"No," Krieg said, his expression relaxed. "Let the old man pass on the Flowing Water Rock-Breaking Fist himself."
