Hero Association Headquarters—

Inside a conference room, Sitch and the other executives were growing increasingly anxious.

"What's the status? Have Tornado, Blizzard, and Demon Lord agreed to come?" someone asked urgently.

"Tornado and Blizzard are crucial assets. They're practically worth all the other S-Class heroes combined. If they don't come, this disaster..."

"Relax. We've received confirmation from Blizzard. They're on their way, and they're bringing Demon Lord with them."

"That's wonderful!" The executives were relieved.

——

Meanwhile, Roy, Fubuki, and Tatsumaki had arrived at the Hero Association headquarters.

The headquarters building was a massive, black cube in the center of A-City.

Built by Metal Knight, S-Class Rank 6, it was incredibly durable. Even the Sky King and Boros's spaceship bombardment hadn't scratched it—a testament to Metal Knight's technology.

"Yo, Roy! You made it!" Genos and Saitama flew over to greet them.

"Roy-san, you're here at the Hero Association's request as well?" Genos asked.

"Sure. I had some free time, so I thought I'd drop by," Roy chuckled.

"With Roy-san here, this mission will be a breeze," Genos said, nodding seriously.

"Hey! You're all here!" Bang approached them, his back slightly hunched.

"It's S-Class Rank 3, Bang!" Fubuki said, surprised.

"Haha, with young heroes like you around, I guess this old man can finally relax," Bang chuckled.

"Let's go inside," Roy said, not one for formalities.

"Hey! Who's this guy?!" Tatsumaki glared at Saitama with a look of disdain.

"That's C-Class hero, Saitama, if I'm not mistaken," Bang said, recognizing him. Although he hadn't seen Saitama's strength firsthand, being with Genos and Roy suggested he wasn't weak.

"Hmph! Just a C-Class hero. What's he doing with us? Annoying," Tatsumaki huffed, crossing her arms. Her tsundere personality, subdued in Roy's presence, reasserted itself.

Saitama was bewildered. He hadn't done anything to provoke her. He turned to Genos. "Hey, Genos, I'm not good at dealing with this kind of thing. You handle it."

Genos immediately struck a pose. "Yes, Sensei! You'll regret—"

Wham!

Before he could finish speaking, Genos was sent flying, crashing into a nearby building.

Roy almost burst out laughing.

Tatsumaki's tsundere and sadistic nature was amusing. He wasn't going to try to change her. This was what made her so adorable.

And Genos was a cyborg. A little crash wouldn't hurt him.

Seeing that Tatsumaki was about to attack Saitama, Roy quickly intervened.

"Enough. Let's go inside. Have you forgotten what I told you this morning?" Roy gently ruffled Tatsumaki's hair and pulled her along.

Tatsumaki, who had been levitating, was dragged away by him.

The onlookers were stunned. Was this really the arrogant and sadistic Tornado of Terror?

The commotion died down as Saitama went to retrieve Genos from the wall.

"Hey, Genos, who was that kid?"

"Cough... that was S-Class Rank 2, Tornado of Terror. She's... incredibly strong," Genos replied, slightly disheveled.

As a cyborg, he wasn't seriously injured, just a few dented parts.

"Oh." Saitama stood up, seemingly unconcerned about having thrown Genos under the bus.

They followed Roy and the others into the Hero Association headquarters.

——

This time, no one stopped Saitama.

"Hey! Why did you stop me?!" Tatsumaki, still floating ahead of them, glared at Roy.

"Idiot, didn't I tell you this morning? That C-Class hero is Saitama," Roy sighed, explaining patiently. It was Tatsumaki's first time meeting Saitama. It was understandable that she didn't recognize him.

"That guy? He's the one you said could handle this disaster? Why is he C-Class?" Tatsumaki, her arms crossed, looked skeptical.

"Yes! If he's so strong, why is he only C-Class?" Fubuki also looked puzzled.

"Well, you guys know the Hero Association rankings aren't entirely based on strength, right...?" Roy chuckled, explaining the ridiculous hero exam.

The two sisters nodded, understanding. It was the Hero Association's flawed evaluation system that had placed Saitama in C-Class.

"Hmph! I want to see how strong he really is!" Tatsumaki scoffed, unconvinced.

She didn't think Saitama was that powerful, and she still resented Roy.

She had been inexplicably stripped of her powers, and then... done 'things' to her. She would get her revenge eventually.

Just as she was plotting her revenge, she felt a sharp knock on her head.

"Ow!" Tatsumaki yelped, clutching her head and glaring at Roy. "You—"

"It seems you don't believe me. I guess I'll have to show you," Roy smirked, looking at her playfully.

"How... how did you know what I was thinking...?" Tatsumaki stared at him, her eyes wide with surprise. She hadn't expected him to know about her revenge plan. Did he have telepathic abilities?

"I don't need telepathy. It's written all over your face," Roy rolled his eyes.

Now that she had her powers back, she was getting cocky, not as obedient as before.

Back then, she had been incredibly compliant, eager to please.

She had even enjoyed their secret "activities" behind Fubuki's back, her excitement palpable. Now, she was acting like a completely different person.

Tatsumaki still looked unconvinced, but she toned down her arrogance.

——

They finally reached the conference room.

Each S-Class hero had a designated seat.

Roy and Fubuki sat together.

As for Tatsumaki...

"You! Move!" She glared at Drive Knight, S-Class Rank 9, shooing him away like a fly.

Drive Knight didn't argue and moved to Tatsumaki's usual seat.

Tatsumaki, satisfied, sat down.

Just then, the door opened.

"Sorry I'm late." An elderly man with white hair and a serious expression entered the room with two suited men.

"We couldn't find Metal Knight or Blast. We can't reach them either."

"But we can't wait any longer. Let's begin the emergency meeting. I'm Sitch. I'll explain the situation."

Sitch looked at the assembled heroes. Seeing Roy, Fubuki, and Tatsumaki present, he nodded discreetly.

With these three here, this disaster should be manageable.

He then noticed Saitama, sitting at the end of the table. He frowned. Who was this person?

Sitch didn't recognize him, but since he was here, it didn't matter who he was.

"You are the strongest heroes of the Hero Association. We've gathered you here today because we need your help to protect Earth from a grave threat." Sitch's voice was grave, his hands resting on the table.

However, the S-Class heroes were an unruly bunch. They weren't intimidated by his words and remained silent, observing him with cold indifference.

Sitch continued. "This time is different. Even S-Class heroes might die..."

"If you want to withdraw, you may do so now. You'll retain your S-Class ranking..."

"But if you choose to stay, there will be no turning back..."

The S-Class heroes frowned, hearing his words. This was serious.
