Recognized Hero

Chapter 4: Spar

The master and disciple duo finally decided on the time and date for their spar. It was a large open field, with large walls of rocks on each side. They faced each other at a distance of more than a hundred meters. Though, the distance did not have an effect on their hearing as they talked normally.

"Master, I am glad that you have accepted my request," Genos said. He wore a white tank top for maximum movement efficiency on his cybernetic arms. Both of them got ready, with Genos revving his engines and thruster at max power. He did not intend to hold back in the slightest. In an instant, the hundred meters gap between them was covered by Genos's insane speed.

Saitama smiled as he dodged, bending his whole upper body down to his knee. He didn't expect Genos to be this fast, Saitama was honestly amazed. Genos followed with a kick directed at Saitama's shining head which was immediately dodged by Saitama's inhumane speed. He appeared somewhere else on the field and ran.

Genos had a hard time tracking Saitama's position as he hastily scanned the entire area for his presence. After a few seconds, he finally found Saitama's location and he immediately launched himself at him. Genos sent a fist to Saitama's stomach, which as he expected, got blocked by the strong hand of Saitama.

The cyborg sent a fury of attacks, but it was all to no avail, they were all either dodged or blocked by his master.

Crack!

Genos almost collapse to the ground as he ran out of energy. 'I need... more speed!'

He absorbed the energy within the ground which generated electricity that allowed him to float albeit—slowly. He disappeared from his spot as images of him appeared. In an instant, Genos appeared next to Saitama. Yet, his master merely copied his movement and also disappeared on the spot.

He clashed with Genos but never once had he actually punched the cyborg. He wasn't stupid, it would end the fight the instant he punched. He did not want it to end quickly, and it seems to benefit his disciple the most.

...

Bofoi, or as the public and hero association calls him—Metal Knight. He was a very intellectual and cunning person. Nobody seems to know what he's thinking and rarely does he actually help the populace. Though, in reality, the Hero Association had him as their biggest asset. Metal Knight provided them with stronger weapons and defenses.

Currently, he was on top of a mountain, and at the bottom were two figures. He recognized one of them but not the other. Metal Knight used his camera that could even zoom to the surface of the moon. It did not have any problem recording the scene below. He extended his camera and heightened the sound recording device.

"Sensei... thank you for heeding this selfish request." The cyborg said.

'Sensei huh...' Metal Knight thought. It seems he had to dig up the unknown cyborg's history. Both of them talked about multiple matters but what interested Metal Knight the most was the reason they were here in the first place. 'Sparring between master and disciple huh... interesting.'

Knowing the rumors he heard about the bald man's strength intrigued him. But for him to have a disciple? He must be very worthy then. Finally after a few minutes of waiting the duo started their spar. Metal Knight made sure to record every bit of second their fight. It might be an important piece of data in the future. He may find flaws in both of them that would allow him to apprehend them with ease in case of emergence.

Metal Knight watched, eager to know the outcome of this spar. After a few more minutes of watching, he deduced that the disciple of the bald man was more than worthy of a position in the S-Class...
