One Punch Man : The New Saitama
Mysterious Red Crystal

Mysterious Red Crystal

After he finished talking to Agoni, Saitama was led outside by the man, who then asked him if he wanted Sitch, Tatsumaki, King and Amai Mask to be made aware of the fact that Blast finally came to the Association. Saitama saw nothing wrong with that and as such he accepted, not knowing that Agoni actually wanted them to know so that they would try to approach him later. He wanted Saitama to get acquainted with the others so that they would be able to call upon him should a situation call for his help. Agoni also told Saitama that he didn't need to take a test like other heroes. He would directly become a C-Class Hero. None of the Heroes would complain since Agoni would discuss about this with Amai Mask who would most likely agree with that and as long as Amai Mask wanted someone in the association, no one could go against him. Except if it was Tatsumaki or Metal Bat.

Saitama then made his way home, but not before getting attacked by a mysterious being. He may have seemed calm, but he was excited inside. The mysterious being that had attacked him looked like a gigantic blue crocodile. Though what made this mysterious being unique, was the fact that it seemed quite intelligent.

" Seriously you could just attack me directly, no need to use this hit-and-run tactic."Deadpanned Saitama. The crocodile had appeared from nowhere and started to attack him by clawing at him and then immediately withdrawing. Saitama could just kill him in one punch, but he wanted to know why the monster even attacked him in the first place. It didn't even tried to kill other people, it just followed Saitama everywhere he went.

Saitama decided to led the crocodile to a deserted area so they wouldn't get too much attention. Once he arrived in a forest, he turned to face the crocodile, and when the reptile approached him, he noticed a certain heat coming from his palm. He still had the red crystal in his hand and it had started to glow and heat up. He was quite sure that it was soon gonna become so hot, his gloves would melt. When the crocodile saw the crystal glowing, it lunged at Saitama with reckless abandon. Of course the bald hero dodged and went on a nearby tree branch so that he could check something.

'Wait.....That red crystal is linked to mysterious beings, and not just those weird monkeys i encountered before. This guy just started to attack me because of that thing. Maybe it controls them ? Or maybe it's like an alarm. If every monster start to attack me because it glows, then it surely means that it's linked to mysterious beings. But i never saw one of these things in the manga. The question is, is there more of those things ? I should be able to understand more if i get to found another crystal. Maybe i could even ask someone like Dr.Kuseno or Dr.Bofoi to analyze it....Nah too risky. Then again i don't even know why i'm so concerned about this thing. As long as it's not some sort of weapon, it's good. I should focus on important matters, like what am i going to do as a Hero ? Should i try to reach a higher class or just stay a C-Class and observe the association from the perspective of a low-class Hero.......Ahhh! So many things to do!!' Thought Saitama. His train of thought was interrupted when he sensed a foul smell coming from his right. He looked up and saw that the crocodile was just a mere inches away from his face. Saitama pinched his nose and made a 'Ugh' noise.

"Dude you really smell you know ? What the hell did you do to get such a smell on you ?" Asked Saitama, but then he flicked his own forehead.

"Yeah right, killing people. How very monstrous of you." Said Saitama mockingly, but the crocodile had enough and used his claws to cut the entire tree, even though he didn't even grazed Saitama.

"Damn! What did this tree ever do to you ? Why did you cut it so violently? Ah yeah, i was sitting on a tree branch from this tree. Sometimes i'm just too dumb. " Said Saitama, again in his mocking tone which seemed to only anger the reptile. Saitama wasn't sure the monster could understand what he was saying.

"Well, it's time to end this." Said Saitama, disappearing from the crocodile's sight in an instant, before reappearing over him, ready to kick it hard on the back. Which he did, piercing the reptile's body and killing it instantly.

"I wonder when i'll finally meet the monsters of the anime. Actually when Canon will start. Should be in a month or two. Not that i'm getting impatient or anything. " Said Saitama. He then went back to the city and headed back home. It took him an hour, but he finally reached his apartment.

As he gazed upon his apartment, Saitama really wondered how anyone would want to live here. Then again, he had become a Hero which meant that he was soon gonna have a lot more money, enough to buy himself a nice house in Z-City. Or atleast change the way his apartment looked. Because as long as his apartment looked good, he didn't really care whether the apartment building looked like it could crumble at any moment.

Shaking his head, Saitama made his way towards the entrance of the building when he heard a voice that he recognized all too well.

"Bald head, yellow jumpsuit, red gloves............. So you are Blast, right ?"
