Watching the S-Class Heroes unleash physical strength beyond human limits and soar into the sky one after another, Genos felt the energy core in his chest shine brightly as its load increased. The fighting instincts that had gradually been buried deep in his heart since he began studying under Saitama showed signs of awakening.
