Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

The Water Tower, the stadium.

At the friendly request of Homelander, the rest of the superhumans voluntarily left the huge stadium.

He handed over the use of the entire stadium to Homelander and the boy with pink hair and a bob hair accessory next to him.

Inside the stadium.

A series of sonic booms continued to explode.

The carbon tennis ball kept burning and sparking as it rubbed against the high speed, then bounced back to its original position on Saiki's racket.

Qi Mu's feet had already left the ground.

A pale blue psychic force enveloped his body, along with the tennis racket in his hand.

On the other side, Homelander also took to the air, his cape billowing as the supersonic tennis ball collided with the racket.

A howling wind accompanied by a sonic boom echoed throughout the entire stadium.

The people of the motherland have never felt such joy.

As his strength increased, one of his tennis rackets broke, so Qi Mu pulled out another racket from the side so that Homelander could switch rackets at any time.

And with a simple flick of his wrist, Saiki restored the broken tennis racket to its original condition.

In fact, during intense matches, Saiki would use his telekinesis to envelop Homelander's racket, allowing him to exert even more power.

--boom--

The net had been broken long ago, and Homelander and Qi Mu played for a full hour.

"Fine, Qi Mu, it's almost time to go get some food."

Seeing that it was four o'clock in the afternoon, Homelander looked at Qi Mu, whose breathing had become rapid and whose hair was wet with sweat, and took the initiative to speak.

[OK.]

Qi Mu nodded and slowly floated down from the air.

He reached for the white towels hanging nearby and easily pulled them over using telekinesis.

"Oh, thank you."

Patriot took the towel that Qi Mu handed him to wipe his sweat and rubbed Qi Mu's limp hair.

"Actually, I'd rather take a shower. Are there any shower facilities around here?"

Qi Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck, wrung out the towel, and asked the man from the motherland.

"Of course, this is Walter's stadium."

Homelander spreads his hands: You can say that Vought is dark and chaotic, you can say whatever you want, but you can't say that Vought is broke.

Walter's assets have reached nearly one-fifth of the total assets of the United States.

A business empire spanning multiple sectors has never been built on marketing hype.

"We can go to the washrooms over here, or the hot springs over there. How about we go to the hot springs?"

The people of the motherland eagerly extended an invitation to Qi Mu.

Do you have any clean clothes? If not, I can reset your clothes.

Qi Mu accepted the invitation from the homelander.

"No problem, let's change your clothes. What kind do you want?"

Patriot eagerly grabbed Qi Mu and headed towards the direction of the hot spring built by the Water Company.

"Uh... be normal, T-shirt, shorts, no weird color combinations."

Qi Mu looked at Homelander, who seemed to be thinking about something strange, and finally spoke up.

"Oh, okay."

Homelander originally wanted to immediately have Parker's team make a suit for Saiki in a similar color scheme to his own.

Wearing this out will definitely make you look good.

But judging from Qi Mu's expression, he didn't seem very willing.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, said a few words, and then hung up.

"OK, now it's time for the best friends to enjoy the hot springs."

Qi Mu looked at John, whose favorability rating had reached 94 points, and shrank back.

"John, you're really not an LTP, are you?"

"Of course not! Oh no! Qi Mu, don't look at me like that."

Homelander's features scrunched up again; he admitted he had been a little too excited about the heartwarming hot spring time between father and son.

But this is a perfectly normal father-son relationship! It's definitely not some kind of LTP!

"That's good."

Seeing this, Qi Mu nodded.

Water Company's hot springs.

This is a facility that only top-tier superhumans can enjoy; second- and third-tier superhumans are only entitled to shower in the gymnasium's washrooms.

"Hey Melinda, is the hot springs crowded today?"

The man from the motherland asked the woman in charge of managing the hot spring facilities.

Melinda, seeing the Homelander arrive with his child, quickly replied:

"Uh, there are a few top-tier superhumans in the big bath, but the pool reserved for the Seven Superheroes is empty."

"You need........"

"OK, very good. The pool for the seven superheroes. I just finished exercising with my good friend Saiki, and now I need to soak in a relaxing hot spring."

Homelander interrupted Melinda, revealing the smile of old Walter.

"Sir, the pool for The Seven Heroes is..."

"No, no, no, Melinda, I'm the leader of the Seven Superheroes, you know, they won't have any objections."

Homelander's tone gradually lowered as he looked at Melinda and began to speak.

If Qi Mu hadn't been there, he wouldn't have even bothered to use his Walter smile to face the woman who was trying to stop him with rules.

"Sure, of course you can."

Melinda swallowed hard, and immediately arranged for the two of them to use the hot spring pool that was part of the Superhero Seven.

------------

The hot spring pool of the seven superheroes is huge; compared to it, the large bath next to it looks like a child.

The pool, which is a full two acres in size, is enough for one person to swim freely while soaking in the hot spring.

Of course, no one wanted to soak in a hot spring with Shen Hai. His fishy smell was too strong, and even after being diluted by the hot spring, it still made the others feel nauseous.

Qi Mu buried his head in the warm spring water, gurgling as he exhaled, his face relaxed and content.

"Well, Qi Mu, do you need to take off that...lollipop on your head?"

Looking at Saiki, whose only visible feature was a lollipop sticking out of the hot spring water, Homelander, who was lying in the hot spring wearing swim trunks, asked a question.

"Glug glug".

Many air bubbles appeared next to the lollipop.

[It's okay, this thing is waterproof and won't break easily.]

"Okay, I was just worried about you."

Homelander nodded, moved next to Qi Mu, and submerged himself in the spring water.

The hot spring's temperature is 45°C, which is considered a high-temperature hot spring, but for Qi Mu and Zukōren, the temperature was just right.

The warm spring water washed away my fatigue, and the bubbling sound surrounded the pool.

The man from the motherland had never felt so relaxed. He glanced at Qi Mu, who was lying in the water with his eyes closed, looking at the misty ceiling.

"very nice."

Bubbling sounds accompanied John's voice as they rose from the spring.

Until a voice rang out from outside.

"Hey, Mr. Homelander, would you like a glass of milk?"

Glug glug glug.

The man straightened up from the water and choked on it.
