"Let this old man take a look..."
Bang narrowed his eyes as he read, then said in understanding, "I see. It's a letter of recommendation for Saitama. No problem."
"Oh, right." Josen handed Bang the fountain pen he had swiped from Lanny and reminded him, "Sorry for the trouble, but please sign on the second line. This spot is reserved for Tatsumaki."
"Heh, Miss Tatsumaki?"
Bang smiled knowingly and followed Josen's format, signing his Hero Name and then his real name. "There, all signed."
Garou frowned as he watched Josen chatting so amiably with the old man. He couldn't shake the feeling...
After just one night, this guy's presence seemed even more terrifying!
It definitely wasn't as simple as dyeing his hair!
Once the old man finished signing, Josen noticed Garou's grave expression and chuckled.
"Master, I can't let you help me for nothing." He placed a hand on Bang's shoulder. "How about this? I recently learned a little trick. Would you help me test its effects?"
Bang was somewhat puzzled, but seeing that Josen wasn't trying to give him a thank-you gift or anything, he nodded in agreement.
"Go ahead, Josen-kun. These old bones should still be able to take it... hmm?!"
As he spoke, the Potential Unlocking Technique had already activated!
Within his mind's eye, two Bangs of similar build emerged from the darkness, one on either side, both looking at Josen.
One was young and strong, brimming with vigor. Beneath his black hair, his expression was wild and defiant, his unruly gaze surveying the world like a king.
The other was old but spry, with silver hair and a silver mustache. His presence flowed like water, revealing no sharp edge at all, just like an old neighbor strolling through the park early in the morning.
*As expected
