"Boom!"
Genos's figure crashed into the mountainside like a missile, sending countless rocks flying.
"You're not fast enough, Genos, and your attack intent is too obvious."
Meikyō stood Fudō and spoke to Genos.
It possesses Observation Haki that allows it to Future Sight. Unless its strength is close to or even greater than that of the Meikyō, it is difficult to harm the Meikyō.
Genos currently capable of dealing with ordinary Demon-level monsters, but he would be no match for a peak Demon-level monster.
Not to mention Meikyō now.
Genos grunted, overloading his thrusters, and flew towards Meikyō again, his hands swinging rapidly forward.
"Machine Gun Barrage Punch!"
Meikyō remained standing Fudō, but turned her body to Genos side to reduce her vulnerable area. Her left hand was wrapped in Armament Haki, and she reached forward with one hand to accurately block every attack from Genos.
"Not fast enough. When your speed is slower than your enemy's, you need to consider the changes in your next move, have the ability to counterattack, and then win with one strike!"
With Super Strength Punch, Meikyō sent Genos flying once again.
Flames erupted from beneath Genos's feet once more, forcing his body to turn sharply in mid-air as he brought his hands together.
With a clicking sound, Genos's hands transformed into the muzzle of a rectangular cannon.
"Burn it!"
The blazing Kakkō scorched everything in front of Genos.
"Hmm, not bad, at least there's some change. The temperature is good, and the impact is decent too."
Meikyō stood within Susanoo, which was imbued with Natural Energy, and nodded slightly in comment, his feet remaining firmly Fudō.
"Teacher Meikyō, please don't be like Saitama- sensei and not fight back at all. If you do that, I won't be able to see the difference between us!"
Genos stopped the Incineration Cannon and said with difficulty.
Logically, his body shouldn't feel fatigued, but the problem is that his energy output has a limit, and the overload he just worked has temporarily caused him to run out of energy.
"Ah, okay."
Meikyō teleported in front of Genos, smiling as he kicked forward with his right foot, sending Genos flying to the edge of the mountain wall once again.
"Clang!"
A clear sword cry rang out, Genos rolled awkwardly to avoid Meikyō's side slash.
"Combat is not simply about using firepower and physical strength to deal with opponents. That can only handle those who are much weaker than you. There is also the planning and application of tactics, the judgment of the situation, and so on. These are what allow you to defeat stronger enemies with the same equipment."
Meikyō controlled his speed and power to be only slightly higher than Genos's, but still managed to beat Genos into a sorry state.
Genos has indeed experienced some battles over the past few years and has some combat experience.
The problem is that Dr. Kusuno's technology is too good, giving him considerable combat power from the very beginning, and his battles with the enemy are basically crushing victories.
He lacks real experience.
This makes it easy for him to fall into a "Damn it, I was careless again" situation during battle.
The current Meikyō is absolutely a veteran of countless battles. Since entering the Ninja Academy at the age of six, he has been learning how to kill. At the age of ten, he stepped onto the battlefield of the most brutal Shinobi World War, and has experienced more than a hundred battles.
"When defending, you need to keep your core stable and not fall into the opponent's rhythm too easily."
"When the situation becomes passive, you need to find a way to break the deadlock."
"Generally speaking, there are three key points to breaking the deadlock: one is whether you can seize the enemy's weakness and find the opportunity, and the other is whether you have other trump cards."
"If none of these apply, then you need to start considering whether you should pay a certain price to achieve certain results and break the deadlock. This is a gamble, and you need to learn to use the least cost to achieve the greatest results."
Meikyō continued to put pressure on Genos while giving him pointers.
He couldn't modify Genos with stronger parts, but his combat awareness and skills alone were enough to elevate Genos's strength to a higher level.
Genos clearly studied very diligently, memorizing all of Meikyō's words and putting them into practice.
"Boom!"
Another tomahawk-style Rocket kick, but this time, Genos, in order to avoid Meikyō's counterattack, directly detached his leg from his body and used the reaction force to create distance between himself and Meikyō.
"Burn it!"
The fierce flames and lasers surged toward the Meikyō once again.
This time, in order to force out more of Meikyō's power, Genos was working overtime, unleashing most of his energy, making it more than twice as powerful as before.
"Since we didn't see Teacher Meikyō use that Golden Giant move, did he block it using some other method?"
The light from the Incineration Cannon dimmed.
Genos collapsed to the ground after losing a leg and using up most of his energy.
However, he was still scanning everything in front of him with his electronic eyes, trying to find out if he had achieved any results.
"Well done, Genos. You have a great understanding and are progressing quickly. Look, I've brought your leg out."
Meikyō patted Genos on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction, and waved one of Genos's mechanical legs with his other hand.
With the ability to Future Sight, if Meikyō doesn't want to be hit, there is absolutely no chance that someone with Genos's speed would be able to strike Meikyō.
When Genos fired the Incineration Cannon, Meikyō had already used Amenotejikara to teleport behind Genos.
"Meikyō, teacher... I..."
Genos stared blankly, unsure of what to say.
He couldn't even see Saitama's power ceiling. As for Meikyō, Genos had already seen through Meikyō's previous battle with Carnage Kabuto that Meikyō's strength was something he had never seen before.
But he never expected that the gap between him and the other party would be so large!
All of my thoughts were completely seen through.
This is a difference in level of understanding.
"Alright, you have a lot to learn, don't think about those things. By the way, how do you attach your legs?"
"Um, Teacher Meikyō, I have a welding gun in my hand, I can reconnect it."
Genos lay on the ground, somewhat embarrassed, and said.
Meikyō helped Genos stabilize his legs. Mechanical interfaces extended from the Root Genos's thighs to connect with the mechanical legs, and then they were secured with a welding gun before he regained basic mobility.
"Ah, it's over. Let's go get some Udon!"
Saitama's bald head suddenly appeared from the side, grinning as he spoke to the two of them.
As dusk fell, night descended.
Z-City, Old Street, Noodle Shop.
"I told you, the noodles here are really good! Also, Genos, Meikyō, how about another match?"
Saitama wiped his mouth and pointed to the poster on the wall.
Looking for a big eater? The Giant Bucket Udon Challenge! Whoever can finish our giant bucket of Udon in one go gets their entire bill for free!
"Since it's Saitama- sensei's request, I have to accept it!"
Genos said with a straight face.
Meikyō patted her belly, her face full of agreement.
With his appetite, this amount of noodles was far from enough to satisfy him.
Half an hour later.
Saitama looked at the empty noodle bucket and collapsed onto the table.
"Burp~ I'm so full!"
"Glug glug glug~"
Genos held the bucket of noodles and drank the soup without changing his expression.
He is a cyborg. Although he can survive without food, Dr. Kusuno preserved Genos 'Genos ability to eat in order to keep him in human form.
He has a small incinerator inside his body that can convert what he eats into fuel to supply his energy.
It could be food such as noodles, but it could also be more efficient gasoline or diesel.
"Incredible!"
"Incredible!"
The noodle shop owner and his wife stared in shock at the tall stack of noodle buckets on the table.
"I've been running a noodle shop for twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever met someone who can eat so much!"
The noodle shop owner exclaimed in surprise.
"Another bowl, please!"
Meikyō put down the noodle bucket and raised her hand.
"This..."
The proprietress looked troubled.
"Don't worry, even though the poster says you can pay by the bill, if I actually eat this much and don't pay, you'll probably lose a lot of money, right? Here, is this enough?"
As Meikyō spoke, she took out a stack of banknotes from her waist pouch.
"That's not the problem. The key issue is that we've run out of food reserves."
The proprietress looked troubled.
"Oh well."
Meikyō shrugged.
Upon seeing this, Genos seemed to have discovered a key point and began writing rapidly in a small booklet.
"Genos, what are you writing?"
Saitama curiously leaned his head closer to Genos.
"I've been trying to find the reason why Teacher Meikyō and Master Saitama are so powerful by observing their every word and action! Now I've found the first key point, which is being able to eat! Being able to eat means that the body has more energy to consume, so next I need to upgrade the energy core in my body!"
Genos said with a serious expression.
"That seems to make a lot of sense!"
Saitama said with a look of agreement.
"Sigami! This appetite is terrifying! It reminds me of the S-Class Hero Pig God, who is said to be able to eat just as much!"
From Lin Zhuo's location, a sweet-looking long-haired girl secretly watched Meikyō's position.
At first, she was attracted by Meikyō and Genos's good looks, but now her focus has shifted to Meikyō's appetite.
Is this the amount of food a human can eat?
"Ah, I found them! I knew they looked familiar! The most handsome one with the biggest appetite is the newly promoted S-Class Hero, the seventeenth ranked Uchiha Meikyō, and the cool blond guy is the newly promoted S-Class Hero, the eighteenth ranked Genos!"
