Go-Toubun No Hero

Ch. 28 - True Identity

"Ouch... my head..." Y/N awoke, complaining his injuries.

"Good morning. You sure were sleeping heavy." Ichika greeted the boy, relieved to see him up.

"Your Onee-san was really worried. You fainted after that harsh battle!" She confessed, smiling.

"I'm really sorry... Losing before going all out... I was careless. The worst is that my plan went on the garbage this way." Y/N said gloomy, his opponent was the favourite of this edition.

"Don't worry too much. The main thing is that you're alright." Ichika cheered him up, caressing his head.

"Guess this treatment is way best any prize!" The hero joked, enjoying the nursing.

"And about the tournament, is it over?" He asked, remembering that Saitama was still in the fight.

"The final is about to start. They'll face the one who defeated you and that strange guy who always wins with a single punch." She explained, worried that he would do something reckless.

"I'm still in time! Let's go see them." Y/N jumped out of the bed, staggering due his wounds.

"As expected... give it a break and rest here!" Ichika tried to change his mind, needlessly.

"I can sleep later... come on!" Y/N rushed outside the room, taking the girl with him.

"Sigh... He's toying with him!" Y/N commented the fight, Suiryu was showing a series of fast kicks, stopping his attacks right before hitting Saitama.

"I can see it clearly in your eyes, Charanko... you're strong! And in search of a worthy opponent to fight back your boredom. It's the same for me." Suiryu commented.

"I guess you're right... I joined the tournament with the hope of having fun... and experiencing martial arts at the same time." Saitama revealed, pleased that his disguise was still working.

"I understand... now we've a deal! I'll show you the true meaning of martial arts. In return please make this fight enjoyable for me!" The skilful fighter took a different pose while smiling, the floor under his feet crumbles due his releasing of sheer power.

Suiryu's powerful kick hit Saitama, despite his block the hero was launched into the air, bouncing on the ring again right before receiving a powerful knee in the face.

Saitama was almost buried into the ground, focused only on defending his wig.

All the presents were sure about Suiryu's victory after that savage combo, only a man was looking at the contenders without surprise.

"I bet he didn't have a scratch..." Y/N commented, interested in the match.

"It tickled a bit..." Saitama got free from the debris, standing up unharmed.

"T-Those two are really humans like us?" Ichika gasped at the sight, unbelievable.

"The definition of human is pretty wide..." Y/N sighed, explaining the level of Saitama's strength was always a difficult task.

"Despite being a white belt you're skilful! Able to dodge my attacks with ease. You must have lot of fights experience... What's your daily routine?" Suiryu asked, he was eager to understand his opponent.

"Normally... take walks, killing monsters... something like that." Saitama replied without thinking, risking to expose his identity.

"Killing monsters? Are you one of those heroes, Charanko-kun?" Suiryu sighed, he had enough about bearing white knights and their sense of duty.
