Purple halos rose in rings between the cities.
They instantly drew the attention of nearby civilians, as well as viewers watching the scene through the aerial perspective of media helicopters.
The halos seemed to contain some immense power, pressing out layer upon layer of visible shockwaves.
But the most shocking sight was undoubtedly the three-thousand-meter Titan being bounced back and left floating silently above B City.
Of course.
It was definitely dead through and through.
Yet the fact that it had endured Saitama's punch without its body bursting apart on the spot was enough to show just how tough its physique was.
At the same time.
A new floating orb device appeared at the scene, broadcasting the purple-clad figure surrounded by violet light and holding his staff-sword aloft to screens across the continent.
A narrator's voice rang out at the same time. "This is Mr. Issho, soon to become another S-Class hero of the Hero Association. His hero name is 'Admiral Fujitora'!"
Immediately.
The people around Issho who had not managed to flee in time heard the broadcast from the floating orb, and their relief at surviving turned into delighted excitement.
"So he's an S-Class hero!"
"Thank you, Mr. Fujitora! Without you, we would've died!"
"That's right! From now on, I'm your fan, and a fan of the Hero Association too!"
"Long live S-Class Hero Fujitora! Long live!!"
Although Saitama had defeated Marugori, to the people of B City, Issho was the one most deserving of their gratitude.
But for the people of D City, Saitama's popularity was destined to be even greater.
This also gave people in the other cities their first impression of the Hero Association.
It had not even officially opened yet, and it already had two powerful S-Class heroes!
The question was whether there were more.
