A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

You have absolutely no sense of propriety!

The muscular men present all took a half step back.

"Sexy Prisoner" immediately became the mood-maker upon arrival. Qiao Sen gave a brief greeting and then teleported to his seat.

Huh?

I couldn't see it clearly. Was it a spatial movement technique rather than pure speed?

As soon as Qiao Sen sat down, a sharp gaze followed him like a shadow.

Looking up, I saw that it was the middle-aged woman with bangs wearing a blue hair accessory, who had already sat down across the long table.

Their eyes met, but were interrupted by a white shadow that swept through the air.

Upon closer inspection, it was "Police Dog Hero" who had just arrived. He leaped over the long table from the doorway and gracefully sat down.

Flashy Flash, who also noticed this scene, was a little surprised.

—Another capable hero. These guys don't seem so bad.

"Hello, police dog, it's been a long time."

Upon seeing Dog Hero whom he hadn't seen for several days, Johnson took the initiative to raise his hand and greet him.

Saitama's usual expressionless face shifted, and he seemed to recall their meeting in his hometown of Q City. He immediately nodded and raised his paw: "Hello."

Johnson blinked.

Oh, so Watchdog Man can talk!

"Oh, quite a few people have come." The swordsman uncle with a toothpick in his mouth and the green-haired loli floating in mid-air walked into the meeting one after the other. Their arrogant eyes swept around as if they were weighing the capacity of everyone present. "I just wonder how many of them are truly strong."

"Atomic Samurai" didn't lower his voice at all, and almost all the heroes present turned their gazes to him simultaneously.

Despite being surrounded by imposing figures, he remained unfazed, chuckling as he leisurely strolled into the venue.

"Hmph, Johnson, you've finally shown yourself," Tornado's gaze swept around the crowd, quickly locking onto Johnson. She floated over the crowd to his head, crossed her arms, and her little face was full of displeasure. "Shouldn't we settle our score?"

Johnson looked up: ?

I wore it, but... no, that's not the point.

The key question is, what kind of accounts are you trying to calculate?

I don’t know!

"of course……"

Just then, Sitch, covered in sweat, burst into the conference room at a speed beyond his physique: "Great, everyone's here!"

In fact, he only rushed over from his office, which was six floors below, after he learned that Tornado had arrived.

"……snort!"

Interrupted from her spellcasting, Tornado turned her head with textbook-perfect arrogance, her petite body shifting sideways as she landed on the seat next to Johnson.

As she landed, she saw Bang smile kindly at her, and her expression softened as if she were a child suddenly seeing their elder.

However, when she caught a glimpse of someone sitting in the seat that should have been hers, her good mood instantly plummeted again.

"Humph."

Johnson: I freaking...

Just as he managed to stop Tornado's antics at the last minute, Sitch realized that his legs were getting weak from running.

However, he also participated in the final vote on the S-class hero rankings, so he can only suffer the consequences of his own actions.

Chapter 89 Heroes Gathering (Part 2)

If only I had known, I would have switched Johnson and Tornado's seats!

In any case, given the former's personality, they would likely not care about the gains or losses in hero rankings.

In the end, I was bewitched by Lanny's beauty... no, her wicked scheme!

(?_?)

While the meeting's host, Sitch, was still overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Johnson's gaze had already quickly swept over the S-class members on both sides of the long table.

The S-class heroes from the technology department have not yet appeared, and the rest are all familiar faces.

According to seating order, from Johnson down are—

"Tornado of Terror", "Silver Fang", "Atomic Samurai", "Chogokin Darkshine", "Watchdog Man", "Flash of the Light", "Metal Bat", "Zombieman", "Tank Top Master", and "Sexy Prisoner".

Apart from "Explosive" who seems to have disappeared somewhere, a total of eleven S-class heroes were present this time.

While they are still somewhat behind the seventeen S-class heroes from the main storyline, it can be said that the people present are the strongest fighters the Hero Association can currently find.

Zombie Man, whose destructive power is somewhat lacking due to the reliance on high-powered firearms, also has the characteristic of "immortality" to make up for it. In addition, he has completed many impossible missions in cooperation with the association, which has earned him a ranking above a group of muscular big guys.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the initiator of this meeting, Sitch."

After calming himself down, Sitch gave a brief self-introduction and began to perform his duties, announcing the start of the meeting.

"We can't reach 'Blast' yet, but all the remaining S-class heroes are present. On behalf of the Hero Association, I thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this gathering at headquarters!"

"The purpose of this gathering is mainly to let everyone get to know each other. After all, we'll be comrades in the same trench in the future. There might come an enemy that requires all of you to work together to defeat, and it wouldn't be good if there were any mishaps in our coordination..."

Sic's words made Johnson glance at him slightly.

Is this how you're supposed to jump to the prophet's conclusion in the first round of speeches?

It's over! It's over!

There will be more than one enemy that will require S-class teamwork in the future, but for now...

S-class heroes all have their own pride. They may not care about the rankings given by the association, but deep down they will never admit defeat to anyone else.

The only way to get these problem children/youths/old men to cooperate sincerely is if the real apocalypse were to occur.

"Hey, you called us here for this reason, and we've already wasted most of the day."

"Metal Bat," a student who was already a troublemaker, slammed the association's specially made alloy bat on the table and rubbed his steak-like head, which he had sprayed with who knows how many bottles of hairspray.

"If it's dealing with weirdos or something, I can handle it by myself. Having more people would just get in the way."

“Indeed, I also refuse to cooperate with the weak.” Atomic Samurai fiddled with the toothpick in his mouth. “But he’s right about one thing: this meeting was indeed a bit of a waste of time.”

"Huh? What do you mean, sir? Do you think I'm weak?"

"You're the one who took it personally. And I'm not some old man, I just turned 35. Don't call me that next time, or you'll be in big trouble."

"Metal Bat" blazed with fury: "What did you say, you old geezer? Want to fight?!"

The exchange between the two quickly ignited the atmosphere, with even the usually quiet ones declaring that they didn't need any teammates.

Johnson looked speechlessly at Bang's second-in-command, "Atomic Samurai." At 35 years old, he could be a grandfather in the Naruto world. Why wouldn't he admit that he's an old man?

He really is a guy who refuses to admit he's getting old.

"Young man," Atomic Samurai suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as a knife as he slashed at Johnson, "I have a feeling you're thinking about something bad. Coincidentally, the number one S-rank isn't here. I still have some questions about why you're ranked ahead of me. How about a match?"

Ignoring the sharp gaze that carried a hint of mental attack, Johnson glanced at Tornado and Bang beside him with a puzzled look. No…

So, I look weaker than a little girl and an old man, right?

What kind of thought process is this?!

Tornado: ?

Banggu:?

What a word!

Qiao Sen wasn't going to let it slide. As he moved his fingers, a crisp cracking sound came from his knuckles: "If Lord Atom is itching for a beating, I'd be happy to loosen up your muscles."

"Oh? Not bad, then..."

Seeing that the newly formed S-class heroes were about to start fighting amongst themselves, Sitch's chubby face was once again covered in sweat.

With the fighting power of these people, the headquarters building won't be able to withstand it!

Please don't let a fight break out!

"enough!"

Just then, a voice rang out, stopping "Super Cop" and "Atomic Samurai" from their duel. The person who spoke at that moment seemed like an angel to Sitch.

The tips of Tornado's hair shone with the distinctive green light of her psychic powers, and her slender body slowly floated into the air.

The heroes who had previously ignored the little girl because of her appearance were all taken aback, keenly sensing a hint of danger in the increasingly heavy air.

"Even if it's a challenge, shouldn't I go first?" A hint of excitement flashed in Tornado's eyes, and the green light emanating from her body spread throughout the room, causing the tea and documents on the table to tremble and float. "Sich, aren't the S-rank rankings determined by combat power? So, if I defeat Johnson, can I return to my rightful place?"

That's only one factor!

Just as Sitch was about to speak, he realized that his ability to speak had been blocked by telekinesis, and he could only shout in his heart, jumping up and down in anger.

How kind and lovely the angel was just a moment ago, how much despair the little devil brought in the next instant.

"So this is what we meant by settling accounts before?" A bright blue aura of psychic energy also appeared on Johnson's body as he fearlessly met the exceptionally heavy green psychic energy. "In that case, let's fight to decide who should sit in this position."

"Tch, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
