Personal Showcase

Yes, Oboro decided to go again.

He couldn't stand Saitama's arrogant attitude.

Admittedly, Sekingar must have said something to Saitama before leaving.

"By the way, Mr. Oboro... are you very familiar with that guy named Sekingar from earlier?" Genos suddenly asked.

"We just know each other."

Long nodded.

"He claimed to be a high-ranking member of the Hero Association... and his words were quite affirmative of your strength, Mr. Oboro."

"Um."

Long gave a perfunctory reply.

A slight ripple stirred within me.

He overheard the entire conversation between Sekingar and the two men.

Fortunately, out of respect, Sekingar didn't say much...

Even if Sekingar claims to possess the strength to stand at the pinnacle of S-class, it probably wouldn't matter to Saitama...

Oboro wasn't worried that the bald guy would doubt him; the main thing was... Genos.

"Is that person very powerful?" Saitama asked.

"Um."

Genos nodded. "Teacher may not know, but as a high-ranking member of the Hero Association, he rarely interferes in trivial matters like hero evaluations, unless it's a target that the Association has been paying attention to for a long time... This shows that Mr. Oboro's strength must be extraordinary."

As he spoke, Genos looked at Oboro, who had a smile on his face.

"Normally speaking, heroes below S-rank... even those at S-rank must participate in an evaluation and have their strength level determined by the Association before they can join. Then they are promoted little by little according to the Association's internal hero promotion system. Very few people are personally invited by the higher-ups."

"In other words, Mr. Oboro doesn't actually need to go to the venue to participate in the assessment like us..."

"Wow!"

Saitama was a little confused, but he understood that Oboro seemed to be very strong.

The bald man exclaimed in surprise, staring at Long, "Who exactly are you, you rascal?"

What he was curious about was Oboro's background and origins, not his strength.

It's clear that Saitama isn't that concerned about Oboro's strength.

"You'll understand when you get to the Association."

Long sighed.

There was nothing Oboro could do to stop Saitama and Genos from becoming heroes.

This means that the two will eventually go to the Hero Association headquarters, meet Flashy Flash and Tatsumaki, and have an in-depth discussion with Sekingar. Therefore, erasing the memories of the two S-class heroes will inevitably become a secret. Oboro isn't worried; this only reveals a portion of his abilities and doesn't necessarily link him to the 'Voiceover'.

He was still 'safe' when facing the bald man.

"Although Mr. Oboro has already been chosen, I still think that you, teacher, are the strongest," Genos added.

The implication is that Oboro is no match for Saitama.

"Yes, yes, your teacher is the best in the world."

I'm too lazy to complain.

This guy speaks very directly, without any tact.

I don't care if he feels hurt or not when he hears it.

"Of course."

What left Oboro speechless was that Saitama listened to this flattery without any remorse.

He looked confident of victory.

Later that afternoon, the three of them went to the organization to fill out the application forms.

The event they are about to participate in is the 55th Hero Evaluation, which has six venues and more than 10,000 participants.

Don't think it's a small number. How long has the Hero Association been around since its founding?

It has been held for 55 sessions, which shows how frequently it is held... and the number of participants this year far exceeds that of the previous year.

Meanwhile, the Hero Association also held a meeting regarding this hero evaluation and assessment.

The senior management had a key discussion and decided that the assessment should not focus on the number of people, but on the 'quality of heroes'. At the same time, everyone's discussion mainly focused on one person.

It wasn't Saitama, nor Oboro, but Genos.

Each senior executive held an application form in their hand.

It was Genos who wrote it.

He wrote down his reason for becoming a hero: to become someone's apprentice.

At the meeting, only Sekingar, who was sitting in the main seat, did not participate in the discussion. While everyone else was focused on Genos, he only cared about one person: Oboro!

Sekingar breathed a sigh of relief.

He succeeded! That man chose to become a hero.

The form in his hand only had one photo of Long; the rest were blank.

Only the reason for becoming a hero was marked with a striking "nothing".

Regarding Genos's strength, the Association has already conducted statistical analysis. If nothing unexpected happens, Genos's evaluation data will definitely be full marks. Combined with his previous achievements, becoming an S-class hero is inevitable.

However, others do not know much about Saitama and Oboro's strength.

The bald man is very mysterious... In Sekingar's opinion, although Oboro kept praising Saitama's abilities during their conversation, Sekingar felt that Oboro was just making excuses to avoid trouble.

In his eyes, the strongest of the three was undoubtedly Oboro.

As for the bald guy... he's currently the one with the lowest profile.

Sekingar even doubted that Saitama's strength might not be greater than Genos'.

The claim that the meteorite was blown apart still needs to be verified and remains questionable.

After all, before the bald guy made his move, the meteorite had already been attacked by Metal Knight and Genos in turn... Maybe the bald guy just got the better deal.

Two days later, having received the news, Oboro and Saitama arrived at the sixth venue they had been assigned to.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the guild hall, with all sorts of people dressed in strange and unusual costumes, which looked rather gaudy.

For a moment, Oboro had the illusion that he had returned to the Heavens Arena.

The staff made a simple arrangement and then assigned the three people to different examination rooms.

The venue was packed with people, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Saitama stripped naked except for a pair of briefs. His unusual appearance, coupled with his muscular physique, naturally drew ridicule from those around him.

On the surface, Saitama's muscles and size are not large, and he doesn't seem very intimidating. He just looks like a bald guy who loves to work out.

Long wore a simple casual outfit.

Soon, the first item of the physical fitness test began.

Oboro did it with ease, and although he was holding back, it still caused gasps and even stunned looks from the other contestants nearby.

The reason is simple... he broke the record.

Oboro didn't want to be so high-profile... but when he thought of Saitama's previous attitude and Genos's flattery, he felt it was necessary to 'show some respect'.

After several tests, we soon arrived at the continuous horizontal jumping test.

Next up are sprinting, weightlifting, shot put...

When it came to the shot put event, a commotion finally broke out in a corner of the venue.

Because a shot put was thrown directly by someone and pierced through the dome of the venue.

During his vertical jump, Saitama also "soared into the sky," plunging his head into the ceiling.

In machine testing, Saitama displayed incredible strength in games like the boxing machine and whack-a-mole.

It can be said that Saitama at this moment was undoubtedly one of the most dazzling figures in the entire venue.

Yes, just one of them.

Because at the other end of the venue, there was another person who attracted countless eyes.

It is Oboro.

Compared to the bald man's 'simple and brutal' and invincible performance, Oboro appeared relaxed and carefree, without causing any damage or accidents. However, the impact on outsiders and the shock to their hearts were still beyond words.

His shot put, like a straight arrow, shot into the sky through the entrance of the venue and disappeared from sight.

In terms of jumping, he soared up lightly, touched the ceiling with his hand, and then landed.

After he One-Punch Man the punching machine, the numbers on the screen turned into a series of question marks, and then the screen went black.

While playing whack-a-mole, Oboro yawned and rubbed his eyes, his gaze not on the machine at all, but he swung the hammer so fast that his shadow was invisible... and ultimately got a perfect score.

This hero evaluation can be considered a test.

The two exam halls and half of the exam area have completely become a personal show for Oboro and Saitama.
