Chapter 319

"Thank you for that day."

Luo Mio glanced at Fubuki, then continued drinking her hot tea.

"The reason it happened that way is because of me, so you don't need to thank me."

"So you contacted me just to say thank you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fubuki fell silent for a moment.

Then he spoke up, "I'd like to ask you... how did you become so powerful?"

"Huh?"

Fubuki also lowered her eyes, and a slight blush appeared on her beautiful face.

"Terribly sorry..."

"I don't know why... but the moment I see you, I have this feeling that I want to become your disciple..."

"..."

'System, could it be that I have some hidden charm buff?'

'Hmm, maybe it's because you're using Fu Hua's Character Carrier?'

'... It doesn't seem impossible.'

Just as Luo Mio and Fubuki were chatting, Saitama and Genos also rushed back.

Seeing the large bag Saitama was carrying, Luo Mio said, "You're back so quickly?"

"Isn't it time for lunch?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio also turned her gaze to the clock.

It was noon.

Then Luo Mio turned her gaze to Fubuki.

"Now you can speak."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Saitama looked completely bewildered.

Then Luo Mio briefly told Saitama about Fubuki.

"I see."

Then Luo Mio, Saitama, Genos all turned their gazes to Fubuki.

——

"I see."

After listening to Fubuki's entire explanation, Genos stroked his chin.

"It's the same as mine."

He asked Saitama to take him as his apprentice because he wanted to explore Saitama's strength.

Similarly, Fubuki also came to seek Luo Mio 'Luo Mio guidance in pursuit of her strength.

"I am different from you... My strength is very weak. The damage you can cause casually is something I cannot even touch with my full strength."

Saitama, who was standing to the side, said with a dried fish in his mouth, "Then go and enhance the power of your skills."

"... If I could increase my strength, I wouldn't be here."

"Isn't that simple? Spread the word!"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fubuki also expressed her doubt.

"... diffusion?"

The words she blurted out unconsciously startled Luo Mio, who then turned her head away and awkwardly scratched her cheek.

She slightly turned her gaze to glance at Fubuki sitting next to her.

Perhaps out of curiosity about what Luo Mio said, Fubuki also braced herself on the floor with both hands and leaned towards Luo Mio.

She was completely oblivious to the deep white outline exposed at the neckline of her clothes.

Saitama also turned his gaze to the news playing on the TV, while Genos, standing to the side, remained completely unmoved by Fubuki's mature and alluring figure.

Feeling Fubuki's curious and intense gaze, Luo Mio said helplessly.

"Didn't you say you could control the wind with complete freedom?"

"Yes."

Then Luo Mio took a piece of white paper from the small table and held it out in front of Fubuki.

"You can think of your wind as this blank sheet of paper."

"Huh?"

Fubuki stared blankly at the white paper in Luo Mio's hand.

Luo Mio gently blew on the white paper.

"Phew~"

The white paper was instantly ignited, turning into a fireball.

Then Luo Mio's hand trembled slightly again, and the fireball was immediately enveloped and extinguished by the water ball.

With her keen observation skills, Fubuki instantly understood the meaning behind Luo Mio's words.

Luo Mio snapped her fingers again, and the paper scraps that had turned to ash reappeared before Fubuki's eyes as if time had reversed.

"If a single attribute attack cannot cause effective damage to others, why not just add some other attributes?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fubuki fell into deep thought, then raised her emerald green eyes to look at Luo Mio.

"But will this really make me stronger...?"

"Cannot."

Luo Mio also spoke to Fubuki without holding back.

Upon hearing this, Fubuki felt as if she had been tricked and angrily said to Luo Mio.

"How can I become stronger?!"

Luo Mio looked silently at Fubuki with her azure eyes, then sighed and said.

"Then why are you so eager to become stronger?"

Her azure eyes seemed to see right through this mature Queen- like woman.

"Just because of your ridiculous inferiority complex? Want to surpass your sister? Or yearn to be number one?"

Luo Mio said in a slightly indifferent tone, "If you want to become stronger just for these trivial things, then I advise you to give up."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fubuki clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging heavily into her fair palms.

Liu Hang's black hair obscured her vision, making it impossible to see Fubuki's eyes.

However, the fact that her white teeth were biting down hard on her pink lips was enough to prove her current mood.

Looking at Fubuki, who remained silent and seemed like a hot brick wall ready to Fubuki at any moment, Luo Mio sighed softly.

"If you really want to become stronger, there is a way."

Upon hearing this, Genos's eyes flickered, and Fubuki, who had been keeping her head down and silent, also raised her eyes to look at Luo Mio.

Looking into Fubuki's emerald green eyes, Luo Mio slowly spoke.

"That means you shouldn't be human."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fubuki's expression froze.

Even Saitama, who was standing to the side, looked over.

Noticing the looks in the eyes of the three people, Luo Mio scratched the back of her head and said.

"It's not like you've completely stopped being human; your consciousness and your body are still human."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Fubuki looked at Luo Mio and said.

Luo Mio didn't speak, but instead gave Fubuki a deep look and took something out of the Imaginary Space.

Then he handed it to Fubuki.

Taking the item from Luo Mio's hand, Fubuki lowered her eyes to look at it.

It was the red and white feather that Luo Mio had retrieved a few days ago.

"This is...?"

Luo Mio said to Fubuki.

"It's used to train your mental strength. Just put it next to you when you're free or sleeping."

Fubuki's emerald green eyes gazed at the Red and White Feather in her hand.

"By the way, when are we having lunch?"

Saitama, who was standing to the side, then spoke up.

Luo Mio was also taken aback, then laughed.

"It's all ready, we can eat it right away."

Then Luo Mio looked at Fubuki and said to her.

Want to come together?

"Then..."

"By the way, what do you want to eat, Miohua?"

"Fried rice."

Chapter Twelve: The Hero Association

"Ah... I'm so full."

Saitama patted his stomach and said contentedly, "I didn't expect you could even make fried rice so well, Miohua."

Luo Mio placed the bowls of food that everyone had eaten on the washstand, and then smiled gently.

"I learned it all from one person."

"One person?"

"Yes, my maid."

Meanwhile, Saitama's television was also broadcasting the latest news.

"Due to the global earthquake a week ago, the rate of strange occurrences in various cities is rising sharply."

The moment they saw this news, the two culprits behind the global earthquake also turned their attention to it.

Especially for Luo Mio, you should know that the plain where he is fighting Saitama is still in a severely damaged state that cannot be repaired, especially that long abyss scar.

Then another news item was released.

"The A-class hero 'Sweet Mask' will hold a concert at 6 PM today."

Upon seeing this, Saitama also fell into deep thought.

"Speaking of which..."

Saitama looked at Fubuki and asked her, "You just said you're the number one B-class hero in the Hero Association."

What is the "Hero Association"? What are A-rank heroes and B-rank heroes?

"Huh?"

Fubuki looked at Saitama with a surprised expression.
