"Terror Tatsumaki!"
Stinger stared at the little girl in the sky in shock.
The second-ranked S-Class Hero, the world's most powerful Esper, the Hero Association's ultimate weapon-Tatsumaki had far too many titles, but they all meant one thing.
Invincible power!
"M-may I ask what brings you here, Lady Tatsumaki?"
Stinger stammered a little as he spoke. Tatsumaki was not someone he could meet whenever he wanted, and he was extremely excited.
"Hmph!"
Tatsumaki merely gave Stinger a disdainful glance before fixing her gaze on Baicang.
He was her target this time.
If a new Esper had simply appeared in the Hero Association, she would never have flown over specifically to find them, even if that Esper had S-Class strength.
But it was completely different when that person was Baicang.
Back then, Tatsumaki had been the one who "overruled all objections" to have Baicang rated a C-Class hero.
That was also when she had first learned Baicang's name. She had felt a trace of disgust toward this fraud who "falsely claimed" to be an Esper, but that was all.
Yet not long afterward, Tatsumaki had encountered Baicang again.
By then, Baicang had become a member of the Fubuki Group and had protected Fubuki from a monster during an operation. She had not recognized Baicang as the previous "fraud" at the time, only remembering after returning to Headquarters.

And today, she had heard that unfamiliar yet familiar name again.
A C-Class hero who had awakened psychic powers and gained S-Class combat strength in a short time-all these things happening one after another had etched Baicang's name firmly into Tatsumaki's memory.
She had also developed a little interest
