A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

King glanced at him, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "It seems Saitama has adapted well to the role of teacher."

"Huh?" Saitama's body stiffened, and three black lines appeared on his forehead. "No way, I still don't know what to teach him!"

"I can't exactly have a robot train my muscles, can I?"

"I don't know either, but Saitama will surely come up with a solution!"

"..."

On the battlefield.

A figure rapidly broke through the intense heat of the fire, leaving several afterimages of leaping and dashing on the ground, and finally appeared beside the Asura Crocodile Monster.

It is Genos, the cyborg warrior with handsome blond hair that has been permed into an afro, yet he still fights with unwavering determination!

"Machine Gun Fist!"

The cyborg's arms unleashed their full potential, transforming into a blur of motion with the speed of a machine gun, striking the Asura Crocodile Monster's sturdy chest armor repeatedly.

"It's no use, it's no use! Why can't you understand..."

Despite enduring Genos's relentless barrage of attacks, the Asura Crocodile Monster didn't retreat an inch, a cruel smile on its face.

"There are countless dimensions between us! You idiot!"

A gigantic fist covered in scales shattered the myriad of fist shadows and struck Genos squarely in the face.

Genos, suddenly struck by a severe blow, threw his head back as if something had shattered, and flew backwards in a circle like a windmill.

"Ah, Genos..."

Saitama, who was not far away, jumped up and caught the cyborg boy who was flying backward like a rag doll. He asked with concern, "Are you... alright?"

"call--"

Genos struggled to lift his head from Saitama's embrace, the mechanical parts around his neck making a clicking sound as they shifted.

One of the mechanical eyes had disappeared, and smoke was rising from the hole, from which an electric wire occasionally sparked.

"It's alright, Saitama-sensei..." Genos, sporting an afro, looked ashamed. "Sorry, I was careless."

"Nothing wrong my ass! Your head looks like it's about to explode, your eyes are practically flying off somewhere!" Saitama broke out in a cold sweat, muttering frantically, "You're completely disfigured!"

"No, it's alright. Except for the brain, all the parts of the body are replaceable. I'll just ask the doctor to replace my eyes with a new one later."

At this moment, Genos's entire body was creaking and groaning. Despite being on the verge of being completely destroyed, he still explained calmly.

"So, I... can still fight..." (crackling sound of electricity)

"He's just being stubborn!" Saitama instinctively called out the robot disciple's stubbornness, his eye twitching involuntarily. "Hey, if you can't handle it, then don't try to be a hero, okay?"

boom--

The powerful force of the punch was blocked by a golden aura that shot into the sky.

The "Emperor's Engine" sounded, and golden lightning crackled in front of King. An invisible energy field formed a barrier, blocking the sharp claw attacks of the Asura Crocodile Monster.

"Enough, you weirdo! Game over!"

With a single punch that sent the gigantic crocodile monster flying into the sky, the real special training began once again.

"Damn it, it's still way off!"

Chapter 178 Special Training Ends

Genos punched the ground in frustration, resignedly accepting the reality of his lack of strength.

"Actually, there's no need to be discouraged, Genos."

Saitama looked at his cyborg disciple, who had made a mess of his body, with a bit of a headache, and tried to comfort him.

"According to what we said before, you're only 17 years old this year, right?"

"Yes, Saitama-sensei!"

Upon hearing Saitama's voice, Genos reflexively suppressed his annoyance and nodded seriously.

This time, however, his battered head and charred, frizzy hairstyle were anything but cool.

"17 years old, that's so young!"

Saitama couldn't help but sigh, "I'm already 23 years old this year, and it's been more than a year since I started training."

"W-what..."

—Can you become this powerful in just one year?

Realizing that his teacher was sharing his insights from his spiritual practice, Genos immediately shut his mouth and listened attentively to this precious teaching.

“Actually, I don’t know much about robots,” Saitama said, oblivious to the change in his cyborg disciple’s mindset, as he continued to share his own insights.

"But in my experience, improving one's strength always takes time."

"After all, when I first started training, it was difficult to even complete the daily training volume, but fortunately I managed to persevere in the end."

—It must be some kind of arduous and rigorous training, right?

Genos imagined Saitama carrying a giant boulder, his back soaked with sweat, climbing the mountain in arduous training, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe.

"So, it's not impossible for someone as young as you to surpass me in a year or two."

Saitama concluded with a serious expression.

"Really, really?"

Genos listened to Saitama's simple words, which seemed to say nothing at all. The already shocked young man's heart seemed to have grasped a truth, and his expression was greatly shaken: "Yes, Saitama-sensei!"

The disciple's sudden, loud shout startled Saitama: "...Eh?" (...Why such a strong reaction?)

"I will always keep your teachings in mind, teacher!" Genos took a deep breath and loudly translated what he had heard, "I will maintain my patience until I catch up with you, teacher!"

A bead of sweat trickled down Saitama's forehead. Looking at the suddenly excited cyborg boy, he forced himself to remain calm: "Oh, oh..." (Did I say anything?)

—In any case, Genos has finally become less depressed, so I guess I've successfully guided him?

Meanwhile, King's battle with the Asura Crocodile Monster is in full swing.

Faced with the Dragon-level monster's incredibly powerful physique, King suddenly recalled a move that Johnson had once mentioned.

"Then give it a try!"

Countless tiny metal particles, invisible to the naked eye, existing in nature are captured by the magnetic field that spans the heavens and the earth, and converge toward King's location while being heated to a plasma state through induction.

A powerful magnetic field began to rotate around King, and invisible plasma transformed into oscillating golden ripples of energy concentrated at his chest.

The Asura Crocodile Monster, who had just climbed up from the ground, suddenly felt a pang of fear. When it looked at the golden figure in the sky that resembled the sun, its eyes hurt terribly, as if it would be blinded by the bright light in the next second!

--not good!!

"Free me! 'Asura Mode'!!"

Startled by King's prepared attack, it immediately activated its strongest form. The ugly crocodile monster on the ground had its scales shattered, and its already enormous size instantly grew towards the direction of the prehistoric giant crocodile!

In the sky, King's golden hair fluttered as he finished charging up his power, his calm and profound face shrouded in shadow!

The "Emperor Engine" playing in the air suddenly accelerated, and the range of the golden lightning flames, just like those of Supasia Gold, also increased dramatically!

Finally, King coldly uttered the name of that move!

"**The 'Magnetic Field Rotation of 50,000 Horsepower - Hellfire Unparalleled Explosive Wave Cannon'!"

boom! boom! boom--

A dazzling light comparable to a gamma-ray burst flashed by, followed by a deafening cannon shot, and then a powerful air blast distorted the air around King!

A terrifying energy brewed and erupted beneath the dark crater in the ground. Saitama, who was holding Genos in the distance, felt a tremor beneath his feet. The solid ground suddenly cracked and rose as if a table had been overturned, and was thrown into the sky amidst a terrifying shock.

"broken!"

Saitama swiftly grabbed Genos and jumped into the air, his expression suddenly turning grim.

Genos, confused, quickly asked, "What's wrong, teacher?"

"The training base has been destroyed...and there was a whole refrigerator full of high-end ingredients inside!!"

"I see!"

Genos's expression changed, and he immediately realized that this was a very serious problem for the teacher. His internal chip worked at high speed, and he immediately thought of a solution.

"Saitama-sensei! Once I've had Dr. Agasa repair my body, I'll replenish all the ingredients in the refrigerator according to its current stock!"

"Huh, is it possible to do it like this?"

Saitama, still rising from his high jump, looked at Genos with a serious expression and nodded in surprise: "Then I'll have to trouble you..."

Genos replied decisively, "Yes! Leave this to me!"

……

That night, in King's apartment.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, that's how it is."

King explained what had happened during the day, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I couldn't control the power for a while, which resulted in the destruction of the manor you built."

Johnson waved his hand, signaling King to relax: "It's alright, it's just a temporary place to stay anyway, rebuilding won't be a big deal."
