Chapter 9

In City Z, at Saitama's house, Arata was sitting on the chair like a mummy. It had been a few days since their encounter with Vaccine Man.

Ultimately Arata wasn't treated by a beautiful nurse but instead he had to go home and rub some medicine on his wounds while accepting Saitama's "Amateur" dressing.

Since he and Saitama had dwelled in financial crisis, the hospital had become a very luxurious place for them.

But what truly made Arata shocked was the tenacity of the people in the One Punch Man World. He felt that the resilience of everyone was at MAX level.

After the fight with Vaccine Man, Arata was in a half-dead state, but after a few days of tending to his wounds at home, his injuries were more than half-healed...

It was figured that [Yasuo, The Unforgiven]'s "Skill" played a part in his recovery, but such amazing resilience still surprised Arata.

"I say, Arata, your body is too fragile. Even with such small injuries you've been sick for so long. Or is it that you're already well and now you're just lying to me so that I have to take care of you and do all the work."

Grumbled Saitama who was cooking Udon noodles he had bought from the supermarket in a sale in the kitchen. But the noodles had no meat along with it...

"It's your fault you bald head, if you had taken me to the hospital and asked for a pretty nurse to take care of me I would've already been healed. Even then considering my wounds I'm still healing up at a pretty high pace, Okay?"

Yes, Arata was seriously injured but Saitama took care of him these few days. But the bald head obviously didn't have any talent in taking care of others, In fact, he almost made Arata's injuries worse.

Genos with his Ex-level housekeeping ability hadn't arrived yet. It was a miracle for Saitama and Arata to live with the mess they made for so long.

"You're being too harsh, you know, Since the day you were injured, I have been doing all the housework."

Arata did not continue to talk nonsense with Saitama, One shouldn't look at his innocent bald head, Once he starts complaining it would never end.

Although he had suffered such serious injuries he still had something to celebrate about.

When he had confronted Vaccine Man that day, Two of the three tasks released by the system were completed by Arata.

The first mission was to rescue the little girl, and the second mission was to cause "10%" damage to Vaccine Man.

Arata had been seriously worried about the Second Mission but luckily it was completed.

This also gave Arata a chance to draw three more cards and unlike his previous unlucky streaks, his luck had finally shined this time.

Out of the Three card drawing opportunities, Two of them turned out to be [Item Cards],

One of them was "Expired Instant Ramen from Naruto" and the other was "Chopper's blue ball".

Both of them were completely useless things.

But the third card Arata drew was a [Skill Card], and it was quite good.

[Skill Card: Bukujutsu (from The Dragon Ball World)

Effect: Controlling the ki in one's own body to float and fly in the air.

[T/N~ Now I just wanted to clarify something. Yes he can use ki to fly but I'm pretty sure he can't do anything else with it. So just in case any of you thought like that then no I don't think he will be bursting planets yet.]

PS: Young man, do you want to fly to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?]

The introduction was very simple, but the skill was very impactful. One must know that with the improvement of the Dragon Ball Z Warriors, Hundred and thousands of different skills could be drawn from the Dragon Ball World

But the only skills that were carried out throughout the whole show and never fell behind were the "Kamehameha" and the "Bukujutsu".

And Arata knew that "Bukujutsu" was not as simple as just being able to float in the air. Once the ki in his body could meet the specific conditions, He could also fly at very high speeds.

Just look at those Saiyans in Dragon Ball who flew around the planet a few times in just a few minutes while they were covered in a flame-like aura. As if they were just playing around.

Arata wasn't expecting to circle the planet a few times in a few minutes like them. He just wanted to be faster than the others.

A few more days passed, and Arata's injuries were completely recovered.

To be honest he had been very worried these few days, Afraid that he would be suddenly thrown into a different world by the system while he was heavily injured.

The System had previously explained to him that the world and time that he would get traversed at were completely random.

He would have no way to protect himself if he was sent to save a different world with the injuries he previously had.

"Hey, Arata, Stop dazing around. I was asking you if you had a hundred yen to spare. I don't have enough money."

An irritated Saitama was looking at Arata, who was blankly gazing at the sky. He thought that Arata was pretending to be deaf and dumb so that he could save his money.

"Damn, Why am I so unlucky, I just happened to heal up, But this again? This world is too dangerous..."

But the reason why Arata ignored Saitama was not to save his money, but instead, he had just now received a task issued by the system.

[ Ding, Task One: Stop the Scientist's brother from destroying the city. Reward: A chance to draw cards. ]

[ Ding, Task Two: Cut off the scientist's brother's arm or leg. Reward: One chance to draw a limited card. ]

[ Ding, Task Three: Kill the Brain and Brawn brothers alone. Reward: Chance to draw three limited cards three times. ]

Don't look at the ridiculous name of this Monster who was systematically called "Scientist's Brother", He in no way could be compared to his brother.

Arata had an impression of this monster because his scientist brother had invented the "Biceps Brachii King" steroid, and turned him into a huge monster.

In terms of strength, it probably had the strength of a "Middle Dragon-Level" Monster. Although he had gained a lot of power, his IQ was somewhat.....low.

But his strength belonging to the Dragon-Level was in no way fake. He could destroy the existence of several blocks of a city with just a wave of his arm.

It seems that to verify the accuracy of the system's task, The supermarket where Saitama and Arata were located in suddenly started shaking fiercely.

The alarms from the [Heroes Association] could be heard throughout the city, and the ordinary people started panicking before they hurriedly began to evacuate.

"Boom—————"

A deafening sound rang beside Arata and Saitama. When Arata looked back, there was already a huge footprint where the city was.

Just looking at the size of this footprint, It was definitely more than 42 yards. No, it was more than 420 yards...

But this was not the point to focus on right now, the point was that Arata was in a dangerous situation right now.

The previous monster, "Vaccine Man", had already let Arata know the horror of a "Dragon-Level" Monster. Arata had no intentions of running up to his own death

Not to mention The Second Task given by the system this time was completely impossible for Arata to do.

The System wanted him to chop off the giant's limbs? Just look at his body, would he even be able to fill the gaps between the giant's teeth?

"Arata, A monster has appeared again. Do you want to deal with it first or do I wait for you to get beat up again before intervening?"

Saitama picked his nose as he turned a blind eye to the giant that was as high as a hundred meters as if it was just another ant to smash.

"Ahem, my injuries from the last battle have not fully recovered yet, I'll let you deal with it this time."

What? He had no intentions of getting killed or seriously injured. It's not like his luck was very good or something. He had little hope of surviving against a 200m giant yet.

As for the second mission, Arata had no hope of completing it.

As for the first task, the system didn't specify who should be the one to complete it. It only specified to him that the giant was to be stopped from destroying the city.

So Arata could completely sit this one out and enjoy the show from the side, and after Saitama stops him, The task would get accomplished and he would get the reward.
