We arrive to a small apartment where a simple looking bald man would reside along with his young cyborg disciple

The man picks his nose while reading what appears to be a manga

This man is the strongest hero alive who has yet to lose any battle

A man who gained his strength through sheer effort

Blood, sweat, and tears all spent to gain unfathomable power

Yet he doesn't yearn for money, fame, or power, but for a good fight

All he wishes is that one day he will find an opponent who can bring out his full potential

But that is a story of another time

In this story he receives his recognition due

By the heroes that make up this society

By the heroes who have gone long enough without knowing the accomplishments of this seemingly meaningless bald man

And that story starts here

"Oi Genos?" Saitama questions while reading his manga.

"Hai Sensei?"

"Today is Friday, right?"

"Yes Sensei. As you've told me, tomorrow will be bargain day at the supermarket and I have already set an alarm in my system. Why?"

"I dunno. I got a feeling something odd is gonna happen soon." Saitama mutters, looking discontent, almost sad.

"Genos goes wide-eyed. Is Saitama Sensei alright? What could cause this great man to feel such discomfort? I shall attempt to rid whatever it is from the premises." The cyborg nods resolutely.

"Sensei, are you alright? Did you perhaps forget something?" Genos worriedly states.

"Huh? Oh, no Genos. It's just... nothing's happened in a while right? We usually get to fight something by now or you get busted up by another monster."

"Sensei is correct... We usually would encounter some sort of problem. Whether it be from the association or from a random monster attack. We've stocked up on groceries, cleared the area of monsters, and have acquired the latest manga for master to read. No problems have arisen. Albeit the aliens that invaded a week ago have surely left their mark. Maybe Sensei wishes for another fight? Gasps. Perhaps it is time for another bout between Sensei and I?"

"Sensei!"

"Hmm?"

"May I request another practice bout from you? I have new weaponry to test and would like your insight on how to improve."

"Huh?"

"Oh crap he's raising the bar again. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned how boring it's been. I mean it isn't even that bad right? Less monsters means less people getting hurt. Ugh. I guess a practice fight wouldn't hurt. Maybe Genos got some sick upgrades?"

"Sure Genos, I'm your teacher after all. Let's go back to the canyon."

"Hai Sensei!"

Genos hastily begins exiting the apartment with Saitama in tow before Genos stops after opening the door
