No man's land, Lane House.
In the living room, the lights are bright.
Saitama held his chin in his hand, sitting at the dining table, glancing at the kitchen from time to time, his legs shaking slightly, and he couldn't sit still.
So fragrant...
They're all hot pots, so why does Ren's one have such an alluring aroma?
More advanced ingredients?
No, even if he uses the same ingredients, he can't make it taste so good.
The evening news was playing on the TV, but the hungry bald man had no intention of listening. If Ren hadn't thought he was in the way, he would have rushed into the kitchen long ago.
Genos, on the other hand, was sitting upright and watching TV.
He had returned to his benefactor, Dr. Kusno, and since the damage to the machine was not serious, it was repaired within an hour or two, and he rushed here immediately.
After fighting against the Mosquito Girl and Asura, he found that he was still too weak.
If you want to become a disciple, you must become a disciple.
"Breaking news, the Hero Association has announced that Valkyrie has been promoted from seventh place in A-level to S-level because she killed the leader of the monster invasion in S city, the dragon-level monster "Golden Mantis King", and her code name remains unchanged..."
Neither of the two people at the table had any reaction to this hot news.
Saitama doesn't care much about this kind of thing.
Genos doesn't pay attention either. He feels that many famous S-class heroes may not be as good as the two teachers who have always been unknown.
However, the following news caught the attention of the two of them.
"...Three days later, a new round of hero qualification examinations will be held. Citizens who have submitted applications must arrive at the designated location on time to take the examinations. If you are willing and have not registered yet, please submit your applications as soon as possible...
The exam is divided into two parts: physical fitness test and written test. If you score above 70 points, you can obtain the hero license..."
Genos' golden electronic eyes moved, looked to his side, and asked:
"Saitama-sensei, are you planning to take this exam?"
"Well, last week, I made an appointment with Ren to take the exam together." Baldhead said casually.
There is a salary, why not go?
If he had known that professional heroes could get paid, he might have signed up a long time ago, so that food and housing wouldn't be a problem.
And if you engage in heroic activities without a license, you will be regarded as a pervert...
God knows how much critical damage the previous words of Lightning Max and Smiling Superman caused to Saitama, so much so that he was a little sensitive to the eyes of citizens when he was on the streets during this period.
"That's it."
Genos nodded, took out an application form, and began to fill in the information.
Saitama opened his eyes slightly and said, "Ah, you want to go too?"
Genos said seriously: "Of course, I have to keep up with the two teachers and not fall too far behind."
Saitama: "..."
No, you are actually quite good.
I was a little flustered because I was being relied upon.
In the kitchen, Ren was wearing an apron and making hot pot.
He controlled the heat and put in ingredients such as beef, bacon, tripe, chicken wings, sausages, cabbage, mushrooms, lotus root, tofu, potatoes and white radish.
There are actually some tips for making hot pot. For example, when boiling the bottom of the pot with clear oil, adding a little lard can make the clear oil more fragrant and mellow, and then add chicken fat to make the taste of the dish more tender and soft.
Master the heat and time, and combine a variety of spices to make it taste better.
At 8:30 in the evening, when Ren brought the stainless steel hot pot basin to the table, Saitama swallowed secretly.
It smells so good, the aroma of the big bone soup comes to your nose, as if it stirs up the roundworms in your stomach.
"Okay, Ren, please sit down quickly."
Saitama picked up the chopsticks, with a decent smile on his face, which was quite a dining etiquette, if he didn't have an unsatisfactory throat movement.
Renn: (一「??一)
Look, I'll make you hungry.
Genos' electronic eyes flashed with light, staring intently at the cauldron of fire.
pot.
It looks delicious and delicious.
Could it be that the secret of the strength of the two teachers comes from the food cooked with their own secret recipes?
To explore and explore...
Genos said seriously: "Teacher Ren, I'm starting."
Saitama looked serious and said, "Genos, are you okay?"
Don't get me wrong, he just doubts whether the transformed person can eat.
Genos said seriously: "Dr. Kusno added taste and digestive functions to me. After normal food is digested in the heart of the furnace, it will be converted into the electrical energy required for body activities."
Saitama: "..."
Dr. Ha is also not doing his job properly, adding such strange functions to transformed humans.
In short, the bald man had to accept the fact that he had an extra pair of chopsticks.
"Ready, move!"
Ren shouted, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of the most tender beef and put them into his bowl.
Saitama's eyes widened: "You cheated, became a referee, and then went off to play football. It's so shameless."
Ren sneered: "You are too naive."
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"ah!"
The bald man was startled, quickly picked up a few pieces of beef, and scolded Lei for not practicing martial ethics.
Then, the fierce battle began.
Ren and Saitama stared at each other and started to grab the vegetables. After grabbing the beef, they grabbed the chicken. After grabbing the chicken, they grabbed the bacon. When the meat was gone, they still grabbed the vegetables and had a hot pot, just like the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City.
After eating a hot pot meal, Genos was stunned that he didn't grab a piece of meat.
Genos: "..."
What is this for?
Some kind of training, training reaction speed, yes, it must be like this!
The hotpot was finished quickly.
Ren simply cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, and sat side by side with Saitama on the floor of the living room. The two of them stared at the TV screen, behind them was Genos who was kneeling and watching.
"Dueling is endless fun!"
Several large flaming characters flashed on the screen. This was the popular fighting game "Hero Showdown 3".
Ren and Saitama picked up the handles and looked at each other, as if there was a collision of cold electricity in the void.
Saitama: "Come on, I will blow your head off this time."
Ren: "Hmph, the top of the keys, proud of the world, even if I press the handle with only one hand, I, the little arcade tyrant, am still invincible."
Genos looked serious.
So murderous, just to play a game?
No, there must be a deeper meaning, but he just can't understand it yet.
After saying the harsh words, Ren and Saitama chose heroes, and a new round of noob pecking began.
The old rule is that when the blood is left, both sides will increase their attacks.
Saitama shouted: "Invincible Hot Wheels!"
Ren roared angrily: "Thunder Half Moon Slash!"
Saitama laughed wildly: "You fell into the trap, this time it's a sure kill, a series of Scuds!"
Ren sneered: "Innocent, I already had a back-up plan to cut through the air and ice!"
Here comes the confusing behavior of humans.
Genos: "..."
What is this for?
Play? Neuropathy?
No, it's impossible, there must be a deep meaning, Genos fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he had an idea, suddenly realized it, patted his thigh and said:
"I understand!"
Saitama, Ren: "..."
What do you understand? It scared us.
Genos smiled and looked at the two teachers with admiration in his eyes:
"The two teachers are so amazing and work so hard. Eating and playing games are just ordinary daily activities, but they still do not forget to train their reaction speed and operational awareness...
I have never seen two teachers with such profound realms.
Integrate fighting and practice into daily life,
Integrate into every move, return to nature, high, really brilliant. "
Saitama: "..."
(||??Д??), what are you talking about?
Renn: "..."
Σ(??д??lll), is there such a thing?
Genos looked respectful and said, "Teachers, thank you for your guidance. Genos has learned a lesson."
As he spoke, he took out a notebook and started writing:
You must always train yourself and never slack off. You can integrate practice and training into your daily activities...
Saitama: "..."
Renn: "..."
The two looked at each other, and for some reason, there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
The bald old man blushed, and Ren was also a little embarrassed.
What are you talking about...
I'm afraid this kid is going to fail in school.
Perhaps because he was a little embarrassed by Genos, Saitama rarely stayed here to play games with Ray all night, and left at ten o'clock in the evening.
Genos also left. Before leaving, he said that he would visit again soon.
When the time comes, the two of them must accept him as their disciple. He will benefit a lot tonight...
Ren and Saitama could only maintain awkward but polite smiles, watching him leave, and said in their hearts - Damn it.
In this way, two nerds and an upright boy began their new lives.
…………
The next day was calm.
It's a bit inaccurate to say that. I haven't seen any news about weirdos causing damage, but there are still people with bounties on their hands causing trouble.
Class B bounty criminal, Hammerhead, led his Taoyuan regiment to shout slogans and cause destruction on the street.
"Why do you have to work?"
"Why can't I eat without paying?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we all share it together? The wine and meat of the rich family is stinky, and the roads are frozen to death. In this world, there is no freedom at all! Everyone is bound by labor..."
At Saitama's house, an image of the B-class bounty criminal Hammerhead appeared on the TV screen. He was chattering endlessly and making some weird anti-social remarks.
Unfortunately, no one around him paid attention and no one echoed him.
Ren was a guest at Saitama's house, watching the TV, yawned lazily, and said, "Hey, don't you care?"
"It's a boring case, I don't want to deal with it."
Saitama was mopping the floor and said without looking back.
Ren pointed to the wanted poster for Hammerhead and his accomplices on the TV, shrugged and said, "But the members of the Taoyuan Group are a group of young people who don't want to work. All of them shaved their heads."
Saitama: "..."
All bald?
"...Citizens who see a bald man when going out must be careful and don't get close." On the TV, a female announcer warned sternly.
Saitama: [??「Д????]
There is no reason for this.
Saitama rushed to the closet in a hurry, took out the khaki Superman suit and started to put it on, cursing and saying:
"Damn it, I was regarded as a pervert some time ago, and now I am suspected of being a wanted criminal. As a hero driven by interest, it is too difficult for me..."
Ren suppressed his laughter and said goodbye to go home.
He has no interest in Macehead and Taoyuan Tuan at all, and he is not a weirdo. There is no point in knocking them all down and arresting them.
In fact, it's okay if Saitama doesn't take action this time, Sonic can take care of that group of people.
I just don’t know if the bald head will hit Sonic’s balls this time...
Ren returned home, sat on the sofa, and called the maid.
Whoosh!
Not long after, a purple silhouette flew in from the window sill, and her black boots touched the ground lightly, with a pair of breathtaking snow-white long legs on them.
The maid Anna walked to the sofa with swaying steps and sat directly on his lap.
Ren reached out and lifted her delicate and smooth chin, staring at her icy blue
With beautiful eyes, he said:
"Doing well these past few days."
During this time, she has been out hunting down monsters, and has defeated 4 ghost-level monsters, 14 tiger-level monsters and more than 30 wolf-level monsters.
This also brought Ren's kill value to over 5,600 points.
"I have been too active during this period, which has attracted the attention of the Heroes Association and some forces." Anna said, even if his palm scratched her tall and plump chest, she still looked calm.
"It doesn't matter, you can also join the Heroes Association. Your origin is unknown, and at most you are not very trusted." Ren said nonchalantly.
After saying that, he opened the space door with a move of his hand and took her into the domain space.
Above the head, the sky is full of stars, like a condensed infinite galaxy. Above the center of the galaxy is the second dimension. In the center of the plain filled with swords, guns, swords and halberds, the World Tree stands quietly.
The World Tree has grown to more than 20 meters high. Its branches are crystal clear and green, bathed in colorful light, and there is chaotic airflow between the branches and leaves.
There are four special "fruits" on it.
Gold, blue, and red, three dazzling light balls, exuding wisps of pressure, and below, there is a whirlpool of galactic abyss hanging.
Surrounding the World Tree are corpses.
The Vaccine Man, the Giant Brother, the Silver Mantis, the Asura One-Horned Immortal...the corpses were scattered all over the ground.
Among them, the flesh and blood of the vaccine man has been basically digested, and the body of the giant brother has shrunk by nearly half. All the corpses are covered with blue-white roots, which are sucking nutrients.
Anna took out a scroll and opened it. A bunch of strange corpses flew out of the space vortex and landed next to the World Tree.
She came back this time to deliver fertilizer. Leaving it for too long would cause the body to rot and lose its essence.
Fertilizer came again, the branches of the World Tree trembled, and some blue-white roots crawled over, entangled and pierced into the corpses of the weirdos.
After all this was done, the maid stood aside.
Ren sat under the World Tree, closed his eyes, and wisps of chaotic energy fell from the branches like a waterfall, flooding his body.
At the same time, three light balls of gold, red, and blue glowed, and wisps of divine power were injected into his body. The vortex of the galaxy abyss also flowed out a stream of blue light, washing and refining his body.
Renn took out a tube of reagent.
The glass tube contains a bright red liquid, which is dazzling and alluring, like blood and concentrated magma.
This is something from the spiritual steam world, the blood of the barbarian god.
The main material of this potion is most likely the blood of the sixth-level true god.
Its function is to refine the body.
Ren unscrewed the cork and swallowed one third of the primal god's blood.
In an instant, his body began to turn red, and blood energy as strong as the blazing sun entered his body, as if it was about to burst him.
Ren put away the remaining blood of the primitive god, endured the pain, and began to practice and swallow.
The light orifices in his body flickered, the blood was agitated, showing a sheen like golden liquid, and his bones had long turned into pale gold.
The golden blood washes away, flows into the limbs and bones, and even penetrates into the blood and flesh cells.
Among them, the heart has turned into a golden color and beats powerfully, like an immortal source of power, pumping out vigorous blood every time.
Through the observation of "Delirium-breaking Eye", Renn can see that those golden cells are constantly expanding with the heart as the center, replacing ordinary cells.
Gradually, more than half of his body was replaced by golden cells.
The immortal golden body is close to completion.
Three hours later, Ren got up and took the maid out of the domain space.
"Are you about to break through?"
At this time, Anna asked curiously.
"Um."
Ren sat on the sofa for a while, with a smile on his face, "In a week or two, my body has reached the fifth level, and..."
He waved his hand gently, and the tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and even the air and fine dust in his home all made a clanging sound!
The sword energy was so powerful that it filled every corner and even eroded into the spatial structure!
As soon as he held his hand, the space around his palm was twisted into a vortex by the omnipresent sword energy, and even the light and gravity changed accordingly.
The maid's eyes widened in surprise: "Is this?"
"The Sword Domain is almost complete. It will be completed." Renn smiled lightly.
Not surprisingly, his breakthrough this time achieved a double fifth level. If he stacks the authority of the three gods again, he may not be able to overthrow Boros.
"Very good."
The maid was genuinely happy.
Ren patted her buttocks and said, "Go on to work and sweep."
"I know, my greedy, shameless master." The maid pouted.
After saying that, she still couldn't hide her joy, jumped out of the window, spread out a pair of white wings, and flew into the sky.
As for Ren, he lay down again and started playing the game.
It's not that he's lazy, or that he wants to take advantage of the maid. Ordinary weirdos don't interest him at all, unless they go out in groups.
Therefore, the job of brushing mobs is left to the maid.
Half an hour later, Saitama came back.
Ren sat on the cushion and said, "Is it solved?"
Saitama picked up the game controller without noticing anything, and said: "That's right, I let go of the hammer head, and I also encountered a——"
Halfway through, maybe because he felt a little embarrassed, he stopped and didn't say anything about Sonic.
Ren knew it in his heart.
This is... Dandan’s sadness.
…………
The leisurely days passed quickly.
A few days later, it was time for the hero certification exam.
City Z, the sixth special examination room.
This examination room is located not far from the Z City branch of the Heroes Association. It is a large sports venue. On this day, there were a sea of people outside the venue and it was very lively.
At the entrance, there were several armed guards standing guard with expressionless faces, as if they would shoot the troublemakers into a sieve at any time.
Ren, Saitama, and Genos were queuing up outside with their admission tickets.
Saitama touched his chin, looked at the flow of people around him, and said, "Are there so many people?"
"Teacher Saitama, this exam is the 55th. There are six venues in total, and more than 10,000 people have signed up. This is the information on the official website." Genos replied.
Saitama: "..."
It turns out that there are so many people who want to be heroes, but he still feels that he was quite lonely before.
The three of them entered the examination room. The inside of the venue was very large, about the size of eight or nine basketball courts. The layout of the venue was also like a sports field, with some special instruments placed there.
Ren looked around and found a lot of strange things.
There are the largest number of young adults, most of whom are muscular. There are also some strong women like King Kong Barbie, delinquent boys with killer hair, girls dressed as little girls, old men on crutches, and guys dressed like circus performers. …
Ren sighed: "What a gathering of dragons and phoenixes."
In fact, most of these people fail the test.
There are only five to six hundred heroes in the Hero Association at levels S, A, B, and C.
There are more than 10,000 people taking the exam this time. You can imagine that the elimination rate is truly one in a thousand.
As time went by, people taking the exam also came to the exam room one after another.
Rennes and others were separated and tested in different numbered venues.
As required, Renn took off his coat and came to venue 9 with his number plate.
Including him, there were fifty people in this group.
Apart from him, most of them were muscular men. There were many who were 1.9 or even 2 meters tall. Even a few old men looked very strong.
Although Renn also has well-proportioned and strong muscles, he is not tall and looks a bit thin among a group of muscular men.
"Is that guy also a candidate?"
"What are you doing? He's so skinny and weak. He probably can't even defeat a gangster."
"Haha, this pretty boy who has been training casually for a few days must be here to make up the numbers."
Several familiar muscular men gathered together and sneered.
Ren was too lazy to pay attention to them and looked at several staff members.
Among them, a girl came over. She was wearing a tight black suit skirt with a white shirt underneath. She had a slender figure.
What’s interesting is that the black suit jackets of the female employees of the Hero Association are uniformly open at the chest, allowing the chest to hold up the white shirt. Therefore, when you first see the girls from the Hero Association, you are usually attracted by the high breasts on their chests. A touch of white attracts.
I don’t know who designed this uniform.
Ren complained in his mind.
The assessment begins.
"The first item is a test of strength."
"Hirano."
As the girl from the association spoke, a muscular man with a slightly tanned complexion stepped forward and came to the instrument that measured boxing power.
He took a deep breath and punched out fiercely.
Bang!
He punched the center of the rubber pad of the dynamometer, causing some strong wind!
The numbers on the screen immediately flashed rapidly, and finally stopped at 370kg.
"Huh, so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so to so so to so so to so so to so so so so to so so so so so so so so to so so to so so to so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so soened so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so universe so so so so so so so so so parade so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sougg so so so respect so so so so so so so so so so sougg beugg be.
Seeing this number, Hirano breathed out.
Played well.
Following him was a burly middle-aged man nearly two meters tall.
Bang!
He punched out, making a muffled sound, and the data stayed at 369kg.
"nice."
Hirano looked at the middle-aged man and said, "It's almost the same as me, but this is not my highest level."
"Haha, this is not my highest level."
The burly middle-aged man chuckled and regarded Hirano as a competitor.
"Next, Renn." The girl from the association shouted.
After hearing the assessor's reminder, Renn stepped forward to the dynamometer.
"It's that boy's turn."
"How many can he have?"
"A pretty boy, he must have weighed 100kg."
Hirano and several other muscular men stood aside, looking at Ren as he walked to the dynamometer, and chatting casually.
Ren's face was expressionless and he punched lightly.
Bang! !
Before the fist hit the dynamometer, the entire dynamometer had already made a loud bang. It was knocked back several meters by the wind of the fist, and then the instrument shattered and various parts shot out!
staff member:"……"
Hirano: "..."
Other testers: "..."
This time, the scene was completely silent.
Those who had ridiculed Ren all looked shocked, even turning pale and sweating on their foreheads.
"Did I pass?"
"...Passed, passed, full marks!" The girl who recorded the results had her eyes glazed over at first, then woke up and nodded quickly.
The instruments exploded, so of course it was a perfect score.
After the punching strength measurement, no one looked down on Renn anymore, and no one dared to talk about it.
Subsequently, there will be various events such as 1500-meter run, weightlifting, 30-second repeated horizontal jump, high jump and long jump.
Renne easily broke all the records without using his full strength. He ran like lightning, jumped high and hit the ceiling, repeatedly jumped horizontally and left hundreds of afterimages, and lifted a one-ton barbell with one hand...
This performance shocked everyone at the testing site.
The staff was stunned and their fingers were trembling when recording the results.
As for the rest of the people taking part in the assessment...
"Well, let's go back."
Hirano's eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul. He didn't even take part in the written examination, so he just
Pick up and leave.
The rest of the people's faces twitched, and most of them left one after another.
The words of a muscular man are the most representative.
"I have been practicing for several years and thought I was very strong. But now I realize that I was too naive. Heroes are not something ordinary people can be."
On the other side, Saitama also shocked everyone with his skills and scared away many people who participated in the assessment.
Under the respectful and adoring eyes of the young ladies from the association, Ren received the admission ticket for the written examination, took paper and pen, and entered an examination room.
There are twenty tables inside, which are relatively far apart, as well as three invigilators and two surveillance cameras.
That's right, it's the same as the college entrance examination.
Ren and Saitama were in the same written examination room, but they were far apart, so they probably couldn't help.
Start the written test.
The multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions were okay, but when it came to calculation questions, it became a bit weird.
Calculation, question one.
1. There are three water pipes in a pool: A, B, and C. Two pipes go in and one goes out. If pipe A is opened alone, it will take 6 hours to fill. If pipe B is opened alone, it will take 8 hours to fill. If pipe C is opened alone, a full pool of water will drain out in 12 hours.
Now, Taro first opens two pipes A and B for 2 hours and then opens pipe C. Ask him how long it will take to fill the pool after opening pipe C?
Renn: "..."
What the hell is this?
Does this have anything to do with being a hero?
Calculation, question 2.
2. A starts from point A and B starts from point B. The two of them are walking towards each other. Jiro runs back and forth between the two. When it touches A, it turns to B. When it touches B, it turns to A again. The cycle repeats. Until the two met.
It is known that there are 5000 meters between A and B. How many meters did Jiro run in the 20 minutes from departure to meeting?
"..."
Ren's face twitched, and he had a toothache.
He didn't know that the exam was divided into papers A and B. The calculation questions in paper B were more difficult.
Saitama sat at the table and looked confused after seeing the calculation problem.
Use Lagrange's mean value theorem to prove that ba&a;a;a;a;gt;1/a-1/b (where b&a;a;a;a;gt;a&a;a;a;a;gt;1 ).
Saitama: "..."
What the hell is this?
It's impossible to fix him.
Fortunately, there are only two calculation questions, and each question only costs 2 points, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t write them.
Ren looked at the quiz questions.
1. What should you do if you encounter a ghost-level monster while patrolling? (5 points)
He wrote: Kill with one sword.
On the other side, Saitama wrote the words "kill with one punch" without thinking.
They didn't know that they got 0 points for this question.
Standard answer: As a newcomer, you should retreat first, contact the headquarters immediately for help, and evacuate civilians as much as possible (5 points).
Just like that, after the exam, both Ren and Saitama walked out of the examination room with confidence.
Saitama walked out of the examination room and stretched: "It's too easy. I just can't do the calculations."
Ren nodded: "Well, many of them are just score questions, so I'm sure you can pass them."
They don't know yet what's waiting for them.
