Someone Who's No Less Than Tatsumaki!

At a rectangular table, a blond man with a large nose sat at the head of the table, looking at the pictures in the fluorescent display window in front of him.

The first image shows a completely transformed land, devoid of any life or vegetation, with an extremely long, clearly visible, and bottomless abyss in the very center.

The second picture shows a figure standing amidst a cloud of dust.

White golden eyes and golden diamond patterns shimmering on his forehead.

Chapter Eight: 'Someone absolutely no less capable than Miss Tatsumaki!'

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Around noon, Luo Mio was sleeping soundly in bed when she heard a knocking sound coming from next door.

Luo Mio frowned slightly, got up, opened the window and walked to the balcony, looking towards the balcony next door.

"What are you doing?"

On the balcony next door, Saitama was seen moving at high speed, his hands seemingly clapping something.

"Ah, Miohua?"

After saying that, his figure flashed across the balcony again, but as he did so, he spoke to Luo Mio.

"I'm swatting mosquitoes."

However, Saitama's tone was not like usual; it was filled with suppressed anger.

That makes sense; after all, who would like a mosquito?

With Luo Mio's sharp eyesight, she naturally spotted the mosquitoes flying on the Saitama balcony.

But no matter how much force Saitama used or how fast he moved, he still couldn't hit the mosquito.

As for Luo Mio, Saitama's actions had completely distracted her from sleep.

Then, Luo Mio gently pointed her small hand, and the mosquito that had been bothering Saitama for so long suddenly stopped moving as if it had a seizure, and fell straight onto Saitama's balcony railing.

"Ah, dead."

"Superpowers are so convenient."

However, Saitama also expressed his doubts.

"Why haven't I seen any mosquitoes bothering you and Hua?"

Luo Mio shrugged and raised her finger, a wisp of golden electricity emanating from it.

"There is a small electromagnetic field around me."

Luo Mio looked at the other mosquitoes that were still flying around outside the Saitama balcony, and then gently tapped them with her small hand.

The mosquitoes seemed to be electrocuted; their bodies stiffened instantly, and they fell straight to the ground.

"Basically, all the mosquitoes that get close to me die."

Saitama also looked at Luo Mio with envy, although his expression didn't reveal any envy.

"By the way, where's your teacher? I haven't seen her much these past few days."

A week has passed since Luo Mio and Xiao Shi arrived in this world and moved next door to Saitama's house.

Luo Mio raised her hands, stretched, and said.

"She can't stay still; she's probably traveling all over the world right now."

Although she possesses all of Fu Hua's memories, she is still a consciousness and life newly born from Fu Hua's body, instinctively retaining a newborn's curiosity about the world.

At that moment, in the distant blue sky, a cloud-like object was moving at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, the two looked in the direction the dark clouds were moving.

"I remember that direction was the outskirts of City Z, near the main urban area."

After Luo Mio finished speaking, she looked at Saitama, yawned, and said, "Why don't you go take a look? I think that dark cloud was just a swarm of mosquitoes."

"I can't persuade you to go and get rid of that dark cloud, then you won't have mosquitoes bothering you every day."

Saitama was taken aback upon hearing this, and his originally simple and ordinary style instantly became tough, sharp, and handsome. He then turned around and walked into the house.

Then, in an instant, he leaped off the balcony and jumped off the building.

"I'll be right back!"

Luo Mio leaned against the balcony and waved to Saitama, saying, "Okay."

'You haven't even changed into your combat suit yet...'

Watching Saitama's departing figure, Luo Mio shook her head, then walked back to her room and looked at the vintage-style Athenian crystal clock on the wall.

Is it almost noon?

After saying that, Luo Mio walked towards the washroom.

"After you've washed up, go prepare lunch."

——

However, after an unknown amount of time, while Luo Mio was preparing lunch, she heard the sound of the door opening next door. Knowing that Saitama had returned, Luo Mio towards the iron door that had been punched through the wall by Xiao Shi and had to be installed to connect the two rooms.

But when she entered Saitama's room, Luo Mio also slightly opened her mouth.

"You...?"

Saitama was standing naked in the entryway.

Saitama, upon seeing Luo Mio, remarked, "From now on, I won't be bothered by mosquitoes anymore."

And judging from Saitama's expression, he seemed much more relaxed and at ease.

Luo Mio also spoke up.

"Go and get ready, lunch will be ready soon."

Meanwhile, Luo Mio Saitama were preparing lunch.

——

At the headquarters of the "Hero Association" in City A.

"I'm very sorry, Ms. Tatsumaki, for suddenly calling you back to headquarters at this time."

A refined young man in a suit and wide round glasses spoke to the petite figure in front of him.

In the air above him floated a petite girl.

The girl had shoulder-length emerald green hair and looked like a junior high school graduate, but she was dressed in a very mature black slit shirt.

However, no matter from any angle, the slit seemed to be surrounded by a layer of privacy, making it impossible to see any part of the girl that shouldn't be seen; all that could be seen were her fair and tender thighs.

A pale green light appeared on the outline of the girl's body, and perhaps because of the presence of the green light, the girl's figure was floating in mid-air.

The girl looked at the young man in front of her and spoke in a completely impolite tone.

"Seriously, what is it that you called me back in such a hurry?"

"What about everyone else besides me? Can't they handle it?"

"Let's just make them train up to C-level again."

Listening to the girl's string of words, the young man could only give a helpless bitter smile, but he couldn't find any words to refute her.

After all, the girl in front of them had the ability to say those words!

"Hero Association" - "Tatsumaki the Terrible", ranked second among S-Rank heroes!

Because of certain reasons related to the hero ranked first, the second-ranked "Tatsumaki the Terrible" is also the Hero Association's ultimate weapon!

"So what exactly is it?" Tatsumaki asked the young man.

"..."

The young man adjusted his glasses, glanced around, and said to Tatsumaki, "It's hard to say here. Let's move to the conference room."

Seeing the young man's actions, Tatsumaki frowned slightly.

In the conference room.

The young man opened a fluorescent window and then moved it to the front of Tatsumaki.

A video appeared in the fluorescent window.

On the barren plain covered with wild vegetables, a gentle breeze blew by, and on the distant hills, the vegetation basked peacefully in the sunlight.

And in the very next instant.

As if the sound of space shattering rang out, a huge shockwave suddenly burst out from the center of the wasteland, blowing up endless dust, and the terrifying power of the shockwave instantly engulfed everything around it.

Then came a tremendous shaking and a roaring sound.

Seeing this, the young man explained to Tatsumaki, "The shaking that swept the world a few days ago originated from here."

Tatsumaki asked the young man, "Was it caused by a monster?"

"..."

The young man paused for a moment, then said, "You'll find out as you keep watching."

Upon hearing this, Tatsumaki continued to focus her gaze on the fluorescent window.

The dust slowly settled, revealing the scene at the very center.

"!"

Seeing what happened next, Tatsumaki's eyes narrowed.

As if abandoned by someone, a massive, slashed abyss appeared before Tatsumaki's eyes.

After seeing this, the young man sent another picture to a corner of the fluorescent window.

"Humans?"

Tatsumaki saw the figure appear in the dust and asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"It cannot be determined yet."

The young man shook his head and said, "The association is currently doing everything it can to find her."

"Huh? Then why did you call me back?"

Hearing Tatsumaki's question, the young man opened two more fluorescent windows and spoke to Tatsumaki.

"Prior to this, two strange people appeared in the towns of City A and City D."

"But for unknown reasons, the strange man's figure suddenly disappeared."

"We discovered that in these three locations, there were inexplicable energy fluctuations that blocked all our surveillance and signals to the area."

Tatsumaki also looked at the young man.

"So you believe that the person who caused the global earthquake is in this country?"

"Um."

The young man nodded emphatically.

"The higher-ups have determined that if the other party is human, they must recruit them into the Hero Association. They've concluded that the other party's strength is absolutely no less than that of you, Miss Tatsumaki!"

Upon hearing this, Tatsumaki turned her gaze to the white-haired, golden-eyed figure in the fluorescent window.

"!"

Suddenly, Tatsumaki's eyes widened in surprise, but then she stared intently at the figure in the picture.

'... Is it just my imagination?'

In a daze, she seemed to see the figure in the picture, with golden eyes looking at her.

——

"Um?"

At this moment, Luo Mio, who was sitting at a small table in the room with Saitama eating seafood hot pot, was also moved. She looked out the window and let out a soft sound of doubt.

Upon hearing Luo Mio's hesitant voice, Saitama, holding his bowl, also looked at Luo Mio.
