The screen blackens before brightening in color much to the chagrin of the cast

"It's been five days since I debuted as a professional hero. There haven't been any serious incidents so far. However, for some reason Genos is staying at my house." Saitama can be heard thinking to himself while looking at Genos writing in his notebook.

"What are you writing over there?"

"I'm recording the details of your lessons and training regimen." The notebook is revealed to show a simple drawing of Saitama sitting and reading manga with calculations covering the edges.

"Pfh. Tin-can, you can't be serious right?" Tatsumaki scoffs at the cyborg in a semi joking manner.

Genos just gives her a confused look

"Good lord you are." Tatsumaki's face goes from humorous to deadpan while smacking her face.

"Why are you surprised? It's Genos you're talking about." Saitama mutters while dreadfully hoping Genos doesn't comment on his next inner thoughts.

"Crap. He's raising the bar again... I can't think of a single thing I can teach the guy. I feel bad, like I'm scamming him or something. Come on, think. Or just make up some techniques or a spiritual theory. Bah, strength training is all I've got! I know Genos won't be satisfied with that, plus the dude's a cyborg!" Saitama increasingly gets more stressed as he lets his inner dialogue continue.

Everyone in the theater gives Saitama a funny look before choosing not to comment

Meanwhile, Genos just sits rigidly in his seat with no visible expression

"... G-Genos?" Saitama looks over to his disciple mentally preparing for the questions.

Genos looks down at his lap with a neutral face before turning to look at Saitama and giving a small smile. "I figured that much Master. You do not need to feel ashamed, for I have chosen to follow you for reasons greater than you imagine." Genos cryptically responds while easing Saitama from his mental burden.

"Alright... I still feel bad though..." Saitama, while relieved, can't help but think to himself over the cyborg's reply.

"By the way, at the seminar they said if you're a Class C hero and you have no hero activity for a week, your name will be removed from the Hero Registry. Will you be all right, Master?"

"They said that?!" Saitama gives a mixed look of surprise and worry.

"Yes." Genos responds with a nod.

"Man, you really suck at paying attention to important things!" Metal Bat laughs out at the Bald man's plight while smacking his leg.

"Since when did you ever pay attention?" Zombie Man retorts while smirking as the previously obnoxious Metal Bat was now sneering at him.

"But I was watching TV and there wasn't anything going on." Saitama gives a worried look.

"The news only reports major incidents, like natural disasters, terrorism and dangerous monsters. You always fight the most powerful enemies, so you probably do not know it, but Class C heroes primarily take care of purse snatchers, robberies and random attacks."
