Chapter 920: Spaceship Amusement Park
」B-City, the Spaceship Amusement Park officially opened yesterday, drawing countless tourists to B-City to buy tickets and board the ship for fun————」
In front of the television, Saitama rested his chin, while on the TV, the latest news flash was playing: B-City, under the Blizzard Group, a special amusement park converted from a real spaceship, integrating dining, entertainment, and transportation, and this is the hottest news in social opinion recently.
"Splash————"
Genos wore a pink apron, washing this morning's bowls in the kitchen.
【It has been a week since the alien attack incident, the evil alien pirates were eliminated, and the remaining alien pirates who were coerced were taken as prisoners, then, under the influence of Super Flash of the Blizzard Group, they reformed and promised to bear the economic losses caused by the spaceship in A-City — that is what the outside world thinks, but actually Mr. Broly wanted to borrow the spaceship to publicize the Blizzard Group's reputation; as long as the spaceship remains in the news spotlight, the name of the Blizzard Group will be spread along with it————】
After washing the last bowl, Genos put the bowl on the dish rack, rinsed his hands, and then turned off the faucet.
【If it were me from before, I probably wouldn't approve of giving some bad people a chance to reform, but now, giving some bad people who haven't done too many bad things a chance to reform, working to earn money to pay for what they should pay for, seems like a not bad choice————】
Genos took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen, looked at the clock on the wall, and reminded Saitama in front of the TV: "Saitama-sensei, it's almost eight-thirty."
"Oh no, I'm going to be late for class."
Saitama stood up and somewhat hurriedly put on his clothes.
"Genos, are you coming with me to the dojo today too?"
"No, today I'm going to Dr. Kuseno's for a mecha checkup."
"Alright, then when I come back tonight, I'll teach you what I learned today."
Seeing Saitama off, Genos took the time while going for his mecha checkup to start helping clean up the house.
He wiped the tables and chairs with a rag, and a Hero Rank Certification personally awarded by the Hero Association Headquarters, placed in a glass award frame, was likewise picked up and wiped by Genos, and on it was written the words【Congratulations Mr. Saitama on officially becoming an S-Class Rank 4 Hero】.
【After the alien pirate attack incident, Saitama-sensei defeated the boss of the alien pirates, and after discussion by the Hero Association, they agreed to exceptionally promote him to S-Class Hero, and since after the alien pirate boss appeared, he instantly defeated multiple S-
Class Heroes, therefore, Saitama-sensei's ranking directly came after Mr. Broly, who has not been defeated.】
"Saitama-sensei, congratulations on becoming an S-Class Hero."
"Mm."
Just as Genos observing Saitama thought that the rise in hero rank had not produced too great an impact on his teacher's state of mind......
At that time, he heard his teacher say he wanted to buy an award frame and have the Hero Rank Certification sent by the Association framed.
"Saitama-sensei, should we buy a few more award frames?"
"Why buy a few more award frames?"
"Don't you still have a few C-Rank certifications?"
"Those don't need to be framed, right."
"Why?"
"Normally, framing a certificate of proof for excellent achievements has meaning, while framing a certificate of proof for ordinary achievements isn't of much use, ah, of course, I don't mean to look down on C-Class Heroes, just————"
【It's just that the general public views it this way; most people only pay attention to heroes standing at the top layer and recognize their achievements, but rarely pay attention to low-class heroes at the bottom layer who also silently contribute, and this point even affects Saitama-sensei; just after realizing this point, Saitama-sensei will silently correct it————】
Genos wiped a few other award frames, inside which were placed Saitama's Hero Rank Certifications from when he was C-Class.
Just as Genos finished cleaning the house's hygiene and went out, Saitama also arrived running at the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist Dojo.
"Charanko, good morning."
Saitama greeted Charanko who was practicing fist in the dojo.
"Saitama Senior Brother, good morning."
Charanko performed a fist salute to Saitama.
The capable one is the teacher; the rank hierarchy of the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist Dojo is based on strength, not the order of entry.
"Where is Bang-sensei?"
"Bang-sensei is waiting for you at the waterfall behind the mountain, and Mr. Broly already took Miss Vivian over there first this morning."
The day after fighting Boros, Saitama took a fruit basket to visit Bang in the hospital, intending to become a disciple and learn some skills from this old martial arts master.
Coincidentally at the hospital, he met Broly who also brought his disciple to visit the sick; unlike Saitama becoming a disciple to learn skills, Broly proposed a transaction of helping treat injuries in exchange for learning skills.
"Your combat skills are already so strong, do you still need to learn skills from others?"
"Learning has no end; other mountains' stones can polish jade; I am interested in all martial arts that have anything worth taking."
Saitama still remembered Broly's answer that day; this answer brought Saitama not a little pressure, just like seeing a learning tyrant whose grades were originally higher than yours, and when you want to study hard to catch up and surpass the other party, you discover the other party studies even harder than you.
However, this pressure disappeared on that day, because after Bang demonstrated the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist once, Broly directly learned this old man's fist technique that he had summarized over a lifetime.
When the talent gap is too great, the so-called pressure instead disappears; however, this did not change Saitama's idea of wanting to train his own skills.
Arriving at the waterfall behind the mountain, Saitama saw Broly and Bang together guiding Vivian in the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist.
"Good morning, Broly; I saw on the news that your Spaceship Amusement Park opened; congratulations."
Saitama walked over and took the initiative to greet him.
"Thank you."
Broly looked at him and nodded.
"However, you brought your disciple here to practice fist this morning; don't you need to worry about the situation at the amusement park? According to the news report's grand scene, the spaceship amusement park today must be packed with people."
"At the spaceship amusement park, there are people from the Blizzard Group helping to watch over it; I don't need to worry about it."
"Saitama, it was this old man who invited Broly to come here."
"Bang-sensei, you haven't given up on the idea of taking Broly as a disciple, have you? But his Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fint is already better than yours, isn't it?"
"Cough, not taking a disciple, but helping him teach his disciple."
Bang held his left fist in front of his mouth and coughed once, then explained.
"Old man Bang knows I can recover magic; yesterday he asked me on the phone if I could restore lifeless things.
I said yes, so we made a deal: I help restore the broken stones behind the dojo mountain, and he helps me guide Vivian in the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist."
Saitama looked in the direction Broly's finger pointed, and saw the giant rock that he had accidentally broken during the process of learning Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist, but which had now recovered; he couldn't help feeling a bit guilty as he asked Bang: "Is that stone very precious?"
"It's not that precious a thing, just an old object I used to practice Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist before; when people get old they like to reminisce, and without that big stone, I always feel the back mountain lacks a bit of something."
"Uh, sorry, I thought it was just an ordinary mountain rock————"
"No matter, you didn't break that thing on purpose, and besides it's already recovered now."
Bang waved his hand; for this student Saitama, he was still very satisfied. Although Saitama's martial arts talent and the formidable physical quality he displayed were somewhat disappointing by comparison, his seriousness in practicing the fist was worthy of acknowledgment.
"Thanks, Broly."
"Thank me for what?"
"Of course for restoring that big stone."
"No need to thank, this was just a transaction."
"But your Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist has already surpassed Master Bang; in terms of guiding students in Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist, you're definitely more formidable, right?"
"Saitama, you're wrong there."
",What did I say wrong?"
"The Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist I've mastered, although it has already surpassed this fist technique's founder, Old Master Bang, that doesn't mean my ability to teach others Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist has surpassed him."
Bang puffed out his chest at the side, seemingly quite pleased by these words.
"Really?"
Saitama didn't quite believe it, and so, his forehead soon received a hand knife strike from Bang.
"I'm at any rate a master who's taught Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist for half a lifetime; can't you have a bit of confidence in me?"
"But the same person learning Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist, Vivian practices it better than me."
"Is there not a possibility that this isn't the teacher's problem, but the student's problem?"
"You mean my aptitude is actually worse than hers?"
"This old man didn't say that."
【But that's exactly what you mean————】
Saitama sighed; he actually could sense that his own fist-practicing talent should be inferior to Vivian's.
Although he could also easily shatter giant rocks, it relied more on physical quality rather than any force-channeling technique.
"Well, compared to when you just started learning, you've already improved a great deal!"
"You don't need to comfort me."
"I'm speaking the truth."
"Really?"
"Really."
"That's right, people shouldn't compare themselves to others, but should compare themselves to their past selves; as long as there's improvement, even if only a little, that's growth!"
Saitama quickly perked up in spirit, throwing himself into the study of Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist. Bang was very relieved; after getting to know Saitama, he discovered that what attracted him most about this young man was not his powerful body, but his positive and optimistic mindset.
"Right, the Hero Association Headquarters' hot spring celebration banquet, are you two planning to go?"
At noon, after finishing fist practice, Bang asked directly.
"What's that?"
Saitama was somewhat curious.
",Didn't you receive a text message notification?"
"Uh————"
Saitama took out his phone, and only among some trash text messages did he find the Hero Association's text; its content summarized is:
To reward the contributions of the many heroes in the great crisis, the Hero Association Headquarters specially booked a luxury hot spring inn to hold a large team-building activity.
For those willing to participate, the Association covers all expenses for food, lodging, travel, etc.; for those unwilling, the Hero Association also won't force them.
"I didn't know at all, almost missed the chance to eat a luxury big meal for free!"
Seeing the team-building time noted on the text was tomorrow, Saitama couldn't help feeling a bit fortunate.
"Broly, are you going?"
"I'll go too."
"It says above that only heroes participating in the team-building may bring one relative along; your household has quite a few people."
"No matter, my side can self-fund."
"How about this, I have no relative to go with, my quota can be given to you."
"What do you want?"
"Find a time, how about you spar a match with me?"
"Okay."
Broly did not refuse.
In the afternoon, he and Vivian left the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist Dojo.
Vivian went on routine hero practical experience; Broly headed to the spaceship amusement park.
"Metal Knight's robots haven't set their sights on the power engine, have they?"
Broly asked Geryuganshoop.
"No, the other party is still relatively rule-abiding.
Geryuganshoop answered.
Although Broly previously refused to hand over the spaceship for research, afterward he still reached some cooperation with Metal Knight.
Metal Knight helped remodel the spaceship into an amusement park; the spaceship in turn handed over its weapon systems, excluding the power system, to the other party for disassembly and research.
Without Metal Knight's help remodeling, this spaceship wanting to legally earn money in this world would probably still need some time.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to keep watch over this side either. Afternoon, you go make a trip to the surface."
"Does Broly-sama have some instructions?"
"Someone wants to consult you about the usage techniques of telekinesis."
Although Geryuganshoop was defeated by Tatsumaki, he is indeed a Telekinesis Master.
Hell's Blizzard is very interested in the telekinesis techniques the other party has mastered.
"Your telekinesis is somewhat stiff; although it can be seen you've undergone training, your training degree is clearly not enough————"
After seeing Hell's Blizzard's rough usage of telekinesis, Geryuganshoop gave her advice as a professional Telekinesis Master regarding her desire to improve the efficient usage of psychic power: "Previously, what I did on the spaceship was overall command work; by establishing a Mental Network, I commanded the entire spaceship crew to work. This method can effectively enhance Mental Power, and at the same time also train Mental Power sensitivity very well.
Since Broly-sama has me instruct you in telekinesis techniques, then from now on you'll follow me onto the spaceship. When I establish a Mental Network to command the overall situation, you'll serve as my Aide at the side, training your own Mental Power."
"Good."
Fubuki did not refuse.
"Hmm, from now on you can call me Geryuganshoop-sama. Right, what's your name?"
"Fubuki."
"Strange, your name, how is it similar to the Blizzard Group?"
"The Blizzard Group is named after my name."
"Ah, Bo-Boss Lady?!"
Geryuganshoop slid to his knees on the spot.
", Geryuganshoop-sama, what are you doing?"
"No, Boss Lady, just call me Little Zhang!"
Immersed in dual cultivation to enhance strength, Hell's Blizzard who appeared comparatively late made Geryuganshoop break into a sweat on his forehead.
