Chapter 910: Cautious Remodeling Human, Bang's Little Game

"Your entrance is pretty unique."

Saitama, waiting at the apartment entrance, saw Broly descend from the sky carrying a sedan, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"I've seen people ride in cars, but this is the first time I've seen someone flying in the sky carrying a car on their back."

"Can't be helped, this thing's marching speed on the ground is too slow. If I really drove this thing over here, you'd probably have to wait one or two hours in this place."

"Then you could just not bring this thing and fly over yourself."

"Didn't you tell me to bring people over?"

"Mosquito Girl and your new disciple, that's two people, right? You could just hold them and fly over."

"Quite obviously, I brought one extra person."

"Hell's Fubuki, have you already established a connection with Mr. Broly?"

Watching Hell's Fubuki step out of the luxury car after it was set down and the door opened, a hint of surprise surfaced on Genos's face.

"This is all thanks to you, Mr. Genos, for strongly recommending his teaching ability to me on the train!"

"How was the effect?"

"Very big, very long, very lasting."

"Huh?

"6

"Cough cough, what I mean is it was great, I'm very satisfied."

Hell's Fubuki coughed lightly twice, giving her impression.

"Glad you're satisfied. I was thinking about when I could go take another lesson from Mr. Broly."

Genos nodded, then said a single sentence.

"This car is yours."

"Mm."

"This isn't spoils of war you seized from some evil organization, is it?"

"No, I bought it with my own funds, but the money was indeed seized from an evil organization."

"Nice. How come I never run into rich evil organizations?"

Saitama envied him for real — not the car, but the money used to buy the car.

"That shouldn't be right. Even if most of what you fight are monsters, you should still be able to touch some money on their corpses, right?"

"Uh, I don't really do the corpse-touching thing."

"Why?"

"Because it gives me a feeling of being a robber, not a hero."

Saitama thought for a bit, then answered.

"Are all heroes who do it for a hobby like you?

Forget it, get in the car. We're heading to that dojo you mentioned."

"Thanks. Just right, I haven't ridden in this kind of extended luxury car before."

Saitama quickly scrambled into the passenger seat, then started curiously touching the car's interior decorations.

"With your strength, earning enough to buy a luxury car should be a piece of cake. Why the look of someone who hasn't seen the world, touching everything?"

Seeing him like this, Mosquito Girl couldn't help but ask.

"I'm just a little curious, that's all. It's not like I want to buy this kind of luxury item that's easy to break. Besides, being strong doesn't mean making money is easy."

"Sensei Saitama has resolved nine disaster incidents caused by monsters in the past month, but the hero reward money he received was only 270,000."

"Why so little?"

"The amount of hero reward money disbursed is generally determined by the disaster level. The monsters causing the disasters encountered Sensei Saitama before they could expand the disaster, and were directly KO'd with one punch by Sensei Saitama, so Sensei Saitama naturally couldn't get much reward money.

Of course, there were a few monsters that had already expanded the disaster, but when Sensei Saitama resolved them, he accidentally used a bit too much force, resulting in half a residential building being damaged and half a street's ground being completely pulverized.

Although this was a result caused in order to eliminate the disaster-causing monsters, the Hero Association would also appropriately give a certain compensation to the victims.

And this likewise affects the amount of hero bonus disbursed. A high-ranking C-Class Hero isn't necessarily the strongest, but a high-ranking hero definitely has a better social image.

Although Sensei Saitama's ranking among C-Class Heroes is very high, his social image isn't very good. His current Hero Name is 【Baldy Head-Exploding Maniac】————"

"Genos, thanks for explaining for me, but my Head-Exploding Maniac nickname doesn't need 'Baldy' added in front!"

"Sensei Saitama, denying the fact of being bald cannot promote hair follicle recovery. If you want a head of jet-black glossy hair, you still need to believe in science. Coincidentally, I've inquired about some good hair transplant hospitals."

"Thanks for the kindness, but I don't need a hair transplant!"

"Then a wig————"

This master-disciple pair's dialogue is quite interesting; people who don't know might think they're doing manzai (comic dialogue).

"Where are we going?"

Several people got in the car. Vivian was the driver, and asked directly.

"I'll send you the address."

Genos pulled a data cable from his wrist, connected it to the car's onboard system, and transmitted a Z-City map into it, with the destination marked on it.

The vehicle started moving. Saitama then spoke about Genos's situation: "Broly, did you know? Genos's current Hero Name isn't much better than my Head-Exploding Maniac."

"Hm?"

"He, right now, is called Devil Corpse Maniac————"

Through Saitama's narration, Broly gradually learned of Genos's recent situation. Ever since Genos lost that battle against the Deep Sea King in J-City, his attitude toward enemies had become strict and cautious.

Before, finishing off the enemy was the end of it, whether by burning or blowing up their head. But now? When Genos encounters a monster, even after chopping off the monster's head, he would dismember the corpse into eight pieces, and dismembering wasn't the end — he'd use his incineration cannon to burn the corpse clean, followed by pulverizing bones and scattering ashes————

In two words, Genos now has a bit of a 【Cautious Brave】 meaning. To outsiders, he looks like he has a corpse-abusing fetish.

"I told him killing them is enough, but no matter how I persuade him he won't listen. He says what if the enemy isn't dead through and through, and suddenly gets up to deal a ruthless blow————"

「Not only that, Genos also equipped those alloy swords with micro remote-controlled bombs, guaranteeing they can be detonated once they pierce the enemy's body————」

Vivian, who was driving, listened to these words, imagining this former Demon Cyborg, and if he were to fight the Deep Sea King that once appeared in J-City again, a picture immediately came to mind.

After the Deep Sea King was successfully ambushed and betrayed from behind, he would probably be blown to pieces by the micro bombs in an instant; even if he didn't die from being blown to pieces, what awaited him would be dismemberment, the high-temperature flames of the Incineration Cannon, and finally having his bones crushed and scattered to ashes————

【To bear a bad reputation and completely annihilate one's enemies — is this the resolve of an S-Class Hero?!】

The Idol Girl muttered to herself.

【I originally came along to recruit the Demon Cyborg into the group, but listening to this, it seems he isn't suitable for the current Fubuki Group————】

Hell's Fubuki also thought in her heart that being cautious wasn't wrong, but reaching the point where the outside world gives them a bad reputation, the problem becomes quite big.

The Fubuki Group already has Broly; adding another S-Class Hero is just icing on the cake. She weighed the pros and cons in her heart and quickly gave up on the purpose of coming along.

They arrived at the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist Dojo, and the vehicle stopped at the foot of the mountain. As Bang's current Senior Disciple, Charanko welcomed them at the foot of the mountain.

「Welcome, few, to this old man's dojo. 」

The Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist dojo is quite large, but now it is empty, and inside the mountain dojo there are only Bang and his current Senior Disciple Charanko.

「Old man, I've already brought the people to visit your dojo. When can you give me the return visit gift you said is calculated per head? 」

After entering the dojo, Saitama couldn't wait to ask.

「Well, well, young man, don't be so urgent. Visiting the dojo always requires going through some procedures. 」

Bang soothed Saitama with a sentence, then had Senior Disciple Charanko bring over the prepared tiles.

「Now, what this old man will demonstrate to you is the power of martial arts. 」

Bang had the few people sit down, while he himself walked to the stack of tiles taller than a person, placing both hands on top of the tiles.

Broly and the others saw him lightly tap the topmost tile, and with a crack, cracks instantly penetrated all the stacked tiles.

「How is it? 」

After doing all this nonchalantly, Bang seemed somewhat satisfied himself, and looked at the group coming over and asked.

「Clap clap clap————」

Charanko applauded from the side.

【A penetrating force emission technique.】

Broly thought in his heart.

Saitama had already run to the side and struck at another stack of tiles with a hand knife.

Only hearing a series of crackling sounds, that stack of tiles was directly smashed into fragments by the force that made bricks fly.

After doing these, Saitama also looked at the tiles Bang smashed and compared them with the tiles he himself smashed.

After confirming that the tiles he smashed were more numerous and more fragmented than the other party's, he nodded in satisfaction.

「If you want to try, go ahead and try. 」

Seeing Vivian looked somewhat tempted, Broly took the initiative to let her also try splitting tiles.

Vivian walked to a stack of intact tiles, raised her hand knife, let out a coquettish shout, and directly chopped down.

Unlike Saitama's obvious situation of force making bricks fly, the tiles Vivian split were like Bang's, neatly split from the middle, just that the number of splits wasn't as many as Bang's.

Seeing Saitama's tile-splitting situation, Bang's mouth corner twitched, but after seeing Vivian's tile-splitting situation, Bang's eyes lit up.

「Broly, don't you want to try? 」

Bang looked at Broly, who hadn't moved, and asked directly. Originally he was only interested in Saitama with astonishing physical quality, but hearing from Saitama's mouth that Broly's physical quality was even more terrifying, he got the idea and had Saitama invite Broly over as well.

「Me? Fine. 」

Broly thought it was part of the tour program, so he also got up and walked to a stack of tiles.

Under everyone's gaze, he pointed his finger at a tile, and a click sound rang out.

The whole stack of tiles was directly cut in half from the middle as if sliced by something sharp.

Obviously, compared to Bang's Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist penetration, Broly's finger sword penetration was stronger.

Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the technique. Bang's originally somewhat hunched back leaned forward, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.

「Clap clap clap————」

This time the one applauding wasn't Charanko, but Vivian.

「Teacher is so powerful! 」

Hearing this address, Bang looked at the former popular Idol Girl, but his eyes carried a hint of regret.

He invited people over to take on disciples and teach his Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist. Vivian was a good seedling, but unfortunately she already had a teacher.

And as for this teacher Broly, just from tile splitting, Bang knew he probably wouldn't be much stronger than the other party, at least in terms of technique.

「Can I take the beef back? 」

「How could there be only one activity? Next we will play competitive karuta. This is a 1v1 sport combining memory, reaction, hand speed, and strategy, praised as martial arts on tatami mats————」

This kind of competitive karuta game generally draws 25 cards each randomly from 100 shuffled cards, and within their own territory closer to their side, they are freely arranged in upper, middle, and lower three sections.

After arranging, there will be fifteen minutes to memorize all positions and contents of their own and the opponent's cards. During the match, the reader reads the waka, and the player needs to, at the moment of hearing the first line of the waka, quickly judge and snatch the corresponding second line card to take.

（Don't understand? It's fine, just replace the waka with Three Hundred Tang Poems. The reader reads【I raise my head and gaze at the bright moon】, and the player just needs to slap the card written with【I lower my head and think of my hometown】. ）

If slapping one's own territory's card, that card is removed. If it's the opponent's territory's card, then one can select a card from their own territory to give to the opponent, increasing the opponent's burden.

Victory condition: whoever clears all cards in their own territory first wins.

Broly listened seriously from the side, feeling this game was quite interesting.

Although after growing up, such a pure interaction game isn't played much with his wives anymore.

But perhaps there will be opportunities in the future to play with capture targets who haven't become wives.

Bang directly targeted Saitama and played competitive karuta with Saitama.

And after his Senior Disciple finished reading the first waka corresponding to a card present on the field, Bang swiftly struck and took the corresponding card.

Obviously, this old man was very familiar with this game, and this game requires the player's familiarity with the waka; just having fast hand speed won't work.

However, Saitama is indeed a person with a top-tier mind; he quickly thought of a way to respond. No matter how fast the opponent is, he just needs to be faster than them and take the card the opponent wants to take.

Of course, this point was quickly seen through by Bang. And in Karuta, if you take the wrong card, the wrong card on your own side won't be penalized, but if the wrong card taken is on the opponent's territory, the opponent will send a card over.

There is also the empty card mistouch: that is, the Reader reads a card not on the field, but the player takes a card anyway. Regardless of which side's territory the card is on, two cards must be sent over.

"Saitama, you want to steal cards through my reaction? That's a bit too green for you."

Bang handed over two cards and started lecturing with the air of an old senior.

However, he celebrated too early, because Saitama directly stopped touching the cards.

Regardless of whether a card was read or not, he would directly slap all the cards into the air.

If there's no advantage within the game rules, then flatten the opponent's advantage of being familiar with the cards.

"I see, so as long as I blow away more cards I can win?"

Genos apparently misunderstood something.

"No, can you guys respect the game rules a bit?"

Bang hurriedly called a stop and switched to a sparring competition with simpler rules.

"First, the two sides facing off must decide who makes the first move. Generally using rock, paper————"

"Rock-paper-scissors, right?"

"Cough, anyway, the winner gains the right to beat the loser with a weapon, while the loser doesn't need to worry, because there are also defensive tools to block the attack."

"This is the guessing game hammer, right?"

Saitama interrupted Bang's somewhat high-sounding explanation again, explaining the situation in common terms.

"Generally speaking, yes, but this kind of contest can often be applied in martial arts, training how to seize the advantage————"

"Saitama-sensei, let me go first."

Genos also interrupted Bang's words.

"Do you know the rules?"

"Hmm, this old man talks too much nonsense, so I looked up the rules online myself."

Bang's old face twitched.

"Fine, since you young people are this confident, then come directly."

Both sides sat down, with a construction helmet and two toy hammers placed in the middle.

Even if hammered, one wouldn't suffer any injury.

"You hit me I wear, rock-paper-scissors————"

And in the first round, Genos lost as expected. He tried to reach for the construction helmet, but Bang had already grabbed the toy hammer and directly hit him on the head.

Although it's a toy hammer, if the technique is sufficient, it can still injure. For example, Genos's hair on top of his head was directly flattened.

"Still a bit green. For you young people, this seems to have a bit of difficulty————"

Bang once again struck the pose of an old senior.

"Looks interesting. Switch, Genos."

Saitama seemed to have his interest piqued.

However, Broly on the side was listless.

Because the rock-paper-scissors you-hit-me-I-wear isn't as good as his palm flip game.

And unsurprisingly, Saitama also failed to beat Bang.

"No, this should be a luck game, right? Why can you win ten times in a row against me?"

The bald-headed Saitama, already beaten red on the head, was getting more and more heated.

"Because this isn't a luck game, but a reaction prediction move game. Your reaction speed and prediction ability are inferior to this old man, so playing this game with him is impossible to win. Even if you play a hundred times it's the same, unless he concedes or gets careless.
