The new and upgraded Genos was walking around the Kumagawa apartament right now. He was making cofee, snacks, watering the plant, doing massages to the father and daughter and while at it talk.

Genos:Speed-o'-Sound Sonic? Whay an redundant name. I never heard of him.

Kumagawa:[He's a ninja, Genos-chan. That's the point.]

Genos:Oh...Than he's quiet good at his job.

Kohina:Still got nothing on Uncle Hanten.

Kumagawa:[Of course, it's Hanten we're talking about.]

Genos:On another note. Sensei, have you heard about the Hero Association?

Kumagawa:[Nope!]

Genos:It's an organization that registrr and ranks hero, not being part of it and calling yourself a hero is said to be just a suspicious weirdo by the Association.

Kohina:People actually believe that?

Kumagawa:[They need to be pretty stupid to fall for such an obvious propaganda.]

Genos:I'm only telling you this because one of the heroes, Mummen Rider, has taken credit for your deeds.

Kumagawa:[Oh?]

Genos took the house's laptop aand began to search on Google. He had also decided to ask Kumagawa a question that he meant to ask for sometime now.

Genos:You'll have to forgive my lack of understanding, Sensei, but what was I exactly training right now?

Kumagawa:[Genos-chan, what do people usually do in a training regime?]

Genos:Various exercices?

Kumagawa:[Yeah, but you don't really have any muscle for that.]

Genos:That's true.

Kumagawa:[However, in a battle scenario critical thinking is just as important. Multitasking you it's a great way to train that.]

Genos:I see...You truly are a genius, Sensei!

Well, it was a win-win situation really. He got training and they get pampered. Truly, was there a more fair trade?

They got to the web oage of the Hero Association and began to scroll. Kumagawa wasn't interesed in a big part of it, but there were a few interesting ones there.

Kumagawa:[I see. So the second ranked is a legal loli and the first has cool uncle vibes.]

Genos:So those are the heroes...

Kumagawa:[Hardly.]

Genos:Eh?

Kumagawa:[I might have seen this all now, but it changed nothing. I know of a single hero and his name is Shishime Iihiko.]

Kohina:Iihiko supremacy!

Genos:Shishime Iihiko? I have never heard of him. Is he a hero?

Kumagawa:[He was indeed a hero that protected the weak and vanquished the evil. Well, that was six hundred years ago.]

Genos:I see. So the story of a hero of old...

Kumagawa:[That's wrong!]

Genos:Eh?

Kumagawa:[His deeds might have been long ago, but he's still very much alive. It's just that times changed and that lead to the world he protected to dissapear, but he didn't accept the new values. Well, he's still as mighty as ever, but he's more of a tea drinking antique now.]

Genos:A hero that survived for so long...Amazing! You truly know legendary people! As expected from Sensei!

Kumagawa couldn't really blame Iihiko for his thinking. He too refuses the status quo as well. Especially those hero rankings, what had popularity to have with protecting people.
