Chapter 17

"I can't believe it! Two new Class-S heroes in one day?!" she practically squealed.

"By the way, what did they ask you during the interview?" Genos suddenly asked, gaining Saitama's attention.

"Interview?" the baldy asked. Genos then began to explain how he'd been asked about the House of Evolution, along with it's destruction by intense firepower.

"I see. Perhaps your performance was enough that no interview was needed." said Genos.

"Of course not! Especially with how well Saitama did on the physical! Right, new senior?" Mizuki asked with a grin, only for and Genos to blink at Saitama's stiffened back.

"Master?" Genos said, hoping to get his attention.

"Don't tell me you didn't pass!" Mizuki muttered in trepidation. Saitama finally turned to face them, a forced smile on his lips and a dead look in his eye.

"I passed. But it looks like you're both my seniors or whatever since I'm a Class-C hero with a score of 71 points." he got out while holding up his test result.

"Whaaa?" Mizuki choked out in disbelief while Genos scanned the paper

"I see. Viewing only half the document, I mistakenly thought the top half of the C was an S." he explained.

"STOP ANALYZING IT, JERK!" Saitama snapped.

"This is totally unfair! Someone as strong as you in Class-C?!" Mizuki roared before reading the fine print. "AND PLACED AT THE VERY BOTTOM?!"

"It must be a mistake." Genos said, his voice as cold as most of his body parts. "I will speak to whomever's in charge."

"No! Don't! You'll just embarrass me!" Saitama pleaded. Any further arguement was cut off when a voice began speaking to them from the speaker in the room.

"Mr. Genos. Mr. Saitama. There'll be a seminar for successful candidates at 4 P.M. Please come to lecture hall number 3."

"Alright then. Come on." Saitama sighed. "All that really matters is that we passed. Let's get this over with." Saitama and Genos made to leave, only for Mizuki to stop Saitama.

"Wait! Where do you live?" she asked.

"What? Where'd that come from?" Saitama asked back.

"I wanna get as strong as you are!" she stated, her eyes blazing with furious passion.

"You are asking to be Master Saitama's desciple as well?" Genos stated in realization.

"Exactly! He may rank lower than me, but his strength far surpasses mine!" she declared. "Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it surpassed all the other heroes in the Hero Association! Even those in Class-S!"

"Hmm. I don't know." Saitama hummed out, his chin resting between his fingers in thought.

"Pleeease!" Mizuki begged. "I'll show up on time to train! I won't give up! Just give me a chance!"

Saitama stared at the woman before him for a moment or two before shocking her when his face shifted to his more serious look.

"So you think you can keep up with my level of training?" he asked her. Mizuki blinked before straightening up and nodding in fierce determination.

"Whatever it is, I can take it!" she declared while pumping her arms. Saitama smiled, but was knocked out of his serious stated when Genos placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Forgive me for interrupting, Master Saitama, but we need to go now. The seminar is about to begin." he reminded them.

"Oh! I forgot about that." said Saitama before turning to Mizuki. "I'll tell you after the seminar."

"I can't! I gotta catch the train back home!" Mizuki pouted.

"Alright then. Come to my place in City-Z tomorrow. Your training will start then."

"Yes sir, Master!" Mizuki grinned, earning a frown from Saitama as she waved and left.

"Why does everyone keep calling me master?" he groaned before heading for the lecture hall.

'At last. I am now officially Master Saitama's pupil.' Genos thought with a smile before it dropped when something finally clicked.

"Master. What should we do about the others?" he asked, gaining the baldy's attention. "As a hero, it is her duty to destroy evil monsters."

"Oh yeah. I hadn't thought of that." Saitama blinked. "Meh. It's fine. After all, they're not evil. They don't try to hurt us or other humans, so it's fine."

-Next day-

Not fine. Not fine at all.

"PUT ME DOWN! LET ME GO YOU BIG, DUMB Cat!" Mizuki demanded as she swung her fists around. She was currently being held upside down by Beast Queen, her legs being held together in her left hand. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MASTER SAITAMA?! WHERE IS HE?!"

"Sleeping." Beast Queen yawned before lifting her up so that she could look Mizuki in the eye. "Which is what I wanna get back to."

"WHEN SAITAMA GET'S HERE, HE'S GONNA POUND YOU INTO A BLOODY PULP!" Mizuki yelled as she started pounding on Beast Queen's hand. "WHY WOULD MASTER SAITAMA LIVE OUT HERE ANYWAY?!"

"Cheap rent."

Both monster and hero turned to see Saitama walking up the stairwell and onto the roof, with the Subterranean Queen and Vaccine Girl shortly following behind.

"Let her go, Beast Queen." Saitama ordered. Beast Queen grumbled before releasing her legs, letting her fall to the rooftop before running towards Saitama where she spun around and got into a battle stance.

"It's three against two, Master, but I know we can take them!" Mizuki yelled.

"Saitama. Who is this woman?" SQ asked.

"Why'd she come here looking for you?" Vaccine Girl added.

"And why is she now calling you 'Master'?" Beast Queen finished.

Saitama just knew that he was gonna have his hands full explaining this one.
