"Sure enough, this ghost has its own consciousness! Release it so I can see it."

Johnson refused: "No, I'm not some easy man."

"What? Do you mean I'm that kind of promiscuous woman?!"

Sitch looked at the two ace fighters of the association arguing, and was not surprised at all. Instead, he showed an expression of "I knew it".

But what is a ghost?

Is this a terminology used among people with superpowers?

"I said, how long are you going to keep holding my hand, you promiscuous man!"

"Hey, are you still holding on?"

Qiao Sen looked down and then felt the cool, smooth, and soft texture in his hand.

"No, that was a necessary measure taken to prevent certain heroes with insufficient self-control from taking dangerous actions."

"No way! I didn't!"

“Think carefully,” Johnson suddenly pulled Tornado in front of him, “Are you sure there isn’t one?”

The moment their eyes met, Tornado caught a whiff of the strange yet pleasant scent emanating from Johnson. Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, turning a deep red, and her petite body stiffened at the same instant.

Here we go again!

—This strange feeling…

—Damn it! What kind of weird superpower is this?!

Tornado's heart raced uncontrollably, and amidst her overwhelming resistance, a tiny... glimmer of anticipation stirred within her?

--how so!!

Since escaping the evil superpowered organization, he has distrusted everyone.

Even when dealing with her younger sister Fubuki, she always maintained the demeanor of a strong older sister, using various forceful methods to prevent others from getting close to Fubuki, thus concealing her true feelings.

But why is it that when I encounter this despicable guy, I can't stand up for myself at all?

It's definitely not because his strength is a tiny bit stronger than those weaklings he usually sees!

"Huh, has it crashed?"

Seeing that Tornado was frozen in place, Johnson curiously patted her head.

"I'm telling you, you should stop this now!"

Coming to her senses, Tornado angrily broke free from Johnson's grasp. Her slightly flushed head was steaming, and she shook her hand as if she had been hurt, before resuming her usual defensive posture of crossing her arms and keeping strangers at bay.

"Explain yourself clearly, what constitutes a dangerous act?"

"Sich, do you think so too?"

Sitch: !

Sic, who was suddenly called out, looked like he was about to cry.

Why do I have to do this?

Staying here was definitely a mistake...

"Miss Tornado, this..."

"Let me tell you."

Seeing that Sitch was being asked a question that was 100% sure to kill him, Johnson kindly helped the big-nosed good-natured man out of the predicament.

Having gained 100 points of favor with Sitch, Johnson turned to Tornado, whose little face was full of dissatisfaction, and said seriously, "If you use your superpowers too recklessly, it's easy to end up causing destruction everywhere."

"Even if it's to eliminate monsters, it might cause trouble for others!"

"Stop talking nonsense...?"

Tornado was about to retort when she suddenly stopped.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the damage I've caused to the city on a daily basis is indeed quite significant.

Because the Hero Association will handle the aftermath and provide financial assistance to the affected people, the hesitation to intervene is naturally reduced.

In conclusion, while there was some reflection, it was far from significant.

So when the words were about to come out, he reverted to his usual stubbornness: "Hmph! So what? As long as we eliminate the monster and rescue the person, that's all that matters."

"If you can do it, why do you insist on making everyone afraid?"

Tornado: !

"...W-What?"

Johnson's words exploded in her mind, and Tornado's body seemed to freeze in time, her pupils dilating in shock.

Showing the world its current power and instilling fear in everyone is indeed what Tornado has been doing.

The goal is to prevent the tragedy of childhood from happening again and to avoid Fubuki falling into a dangerous situation again.

But... this is a secret she keeps deep in her heart, so how did Qiao Sen find out?

"You...you just overheard my inner thoughts?"

"It's not possible right now, but it might be in the future."

Josen made no attempt to conceal his "Mind Network" as he enveloped Tornado, but the magnetic field, rich in psychic energy, seemed to be severely disrupted, causing a dazzling burst of sparks at her temples.

"See? I wasn't lying to you."

Tornado: “…”

This guy really has the superpower to read other people's minds!

"Okay, you're already very good!"

The tornado revealed dead fish eyes.

"...Hmph! Even if you suddenly praise me, I won't be happy... Uh?"

A familiar warmth came from above, and Tornado instinctively shrank her neck like a cat being petted, but didn't completely dodge away.

"It's rare that we didn't fight when we met; that's progress."

Chapter 164 Return to M City

"Sich, now that everything's over, I'll be going."

"...Uh, okay! Lord Johnson, take care!"

A flash of blue light appeared, and only the cautious Sitch and the closed-eyed Tornado remained in the training field.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air...

"...Seriously, how could you mess up my hair like that!"

cough cough...

Sitch's poor acting made him feel a bit awkward, and he could only cough violently to cover up his embarrassment.

Tornado blushed slightly, turned around in mid-air to hide her expression from Sitch, and put her hands on her hips.

"Since we're already here, Sitch... is there any mission you need me to take on?"

Sitch quickly became serious and replied, "Uh, not yet, Miss Tornado. The world is still very peaceful right now, and there are no monsters that would require the use of your powerful abilities."

"Yeah……"

"In that case, I'll head back now!"

"Okay, then take care!"

Seeing the petite, verdant figure emerge from the training field, Sicchi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew—thank goodness Lord Johnson was here, we've finally weathered today's crisis!"

"However, it seems that Miss Tornado's temper has indeed improved a lot recently?"

……

"Breaking news: After confirmation with the spokesperson of the Hero Association, a selection and recruitment campaign is currently being organized throughout society. A group of strong individuals will emerge from the process, and the ranks of S-class heroes will be strengthened once again."

"Exclusive reveal: A leading scientist has reached an agreement with the Hero Association to send his most powerful combat armor to join the Hero Association and become an S-class hero!"

"Breaking news! The three-time world's strongest eater champion has been officially added to the Hero Association's S-class hero roster, and his hero name has been confirmed as 'Pig God'!"

"..."

City M.

In the special training villa in the suburbs, Saitama lay sprawled on the tatami mat, one hand supporting his head, the other flipping through TV channels.

Almost all the shows were talking about the same thing: the news of the Hero Association recruiting new S-class heroes.

"The TV in my apartment only shows free disaster channels. How did Johnson manage to find so many paid channels in this makeshift villa?!"

"Wow, there are already so many famous heroes in the world!"
