Saitama is my Disciple in One Punch Man

[Ding… Congratulations, host successfully defeated a Wolf-level Hawk-Beak Monster. Reward: Strength Enhancement Agent +8.]

[Ding… Congratulations, host successfully defeated a Wolf-level Hawk-Beak Monster. Reward: Constitution Enhancement Agent +8.]

[Ding… Congratulations, host successfully defeated a Wolf-level Hawk-Beak Monster. Reward: Speed Enhancement Agent +12.]

[Ding… Congratulations, host successfully defeated a Wolf-level Hawk-Beak Monster. Reward: Intimidation!]

[Intimidation: Instills fear in enemies, greatly weakening their strength, and may cause them to surrender. (Effect weakens or is ineffective against stronger opponents.)]

Uh…

Kaito Ren focused on the new Intimidation skill. It seemed useful, but the caveat was annoying. If it weren't for that limitation, he could find a Dragon-level monster, use Intimidation, and easily defeat it, rapidly increasing his strength.

Unfortunately, the limitation made the skill less useful. It was useless against equally strong or weaker monsters, and ineffective against stronger ones. Oh well, free is free.

Kaito Ren shrugged and examined the rewards from Hawk-Beak. As expected, because of the rage potion's temporary power boost, the rewards were higher, especially the Speed Enhancement Agents, exceeding double digits for the first time outside the newbie gift pack.

Status Screen:

Name: Kaito Ren

Age: 20

Strength: 88

Constitution: 63

Speed: 66

Fighting Skills: Basic Martial Artist, Detective's Eye, Eagle Eye, Intimidation.

Weapon: Crab Claw Gauntlets (White)

Overall Strength Assessment: Wolf-level (Lower)

He was closer to Wolf-level Middle.

Oh, right! He almost forgot! Kaito Ren looked at the Mantis Scythes.

[Ding… Congratulations, host's synthesis simulation successful. Obtained Death Scythe (White).]

Weapon Name: Death Scythe

Weapon Quality: White

Strength +6

Special Skill: Bleeding.

Huh?! A special skill on his third synthesized weapon?! What was "Bleeding"?

Kaito Ren stared at the Death Scythe.

[Bleeding: Inflicts continuous bleeding damage for three seconds, gradually weakening.]

What the—?!

Kaito Ren swore. Couldn't the system be more serious with its rewards?! This was ridiculous! Who gets cut and doesn't bleed?! If a major artery is severed, the bleeding would be fatal!

Kaito Ren tossed the Death Scythe aside.

"Teacher, are you alright?!"

Hawk-Beak, three or four meters tall, blocked Saitama's view.

"I'm fine."

Kaito Ren used Hawk-Beak's corpse to launch himself into the air, performing a backflip before landing.

"Teacher, was Hawk-Beak strong?"

"Yes, the strongest monster so far. If it weren't for its low intelligence, I might have been injured."

Kaito Ren gave his honest assessment. Raging Hawk-Beak was Wolf-level Middle. He wouldn't have won in a direct confrontation. Luckily, Hawk-Beak's intelligence was low.

"That's great. Without you, Teacher, it would have been dangerous."

Since even the Teacher found it strong, the monsters must have been very powerful. Without him, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

"Post-meal exercise is over. I'm sleepy. Let's go to bed."

Kaito Ren yawned, gesturing towards the apartment.

"Coming!"

Saitama followed. They disappeared from the crowd's sight.

"Did you see that?!"

"Yeah! He's strong! He defeated the Mantis monster with one punch and killed the Hawk-Beak monster!"

"Compared to him, Stinger and Iron Fist Harris are jokes!"

"Right! They couldn't even withstand a single blow from the monsters! They call themselves heroes?! That guy was the real hero!"

The onlookers, after witnessing the fight, changed their opinions, praising Kaito Ren. Stinger and Iron Fist Harris were insignificant.

"But isn't it strange?"

Someone offered a different opinion.

"He doesn't seem that strong. How could he defeat the Mantis monster with one punch? The only explanation is that the Mantis monster was weak! We thought it was strong because it defeated Iron Fist Harris!"

"And Iron Fist Harris might be overrated! And if that guy was strong, why didn't he fight Hawk-Beak directly? He was cornered in the alley. Even a three-year-old with a knife could have killed it!"

The crowd fell silent. They'd thought the monsters were strong because of Stinger and Iron Fist Harris. What if they were frauds? The Mantis monster was weak, and Hawk-Beak was stupid.

"So he wasn't that strong! The monsters were just weak!"

"That's it! He probably ran away because he was afraid of being exposed!"

"He's nothing special."

The crowd dismissed Kaito Ren, claiming anyone could have done it.

But in a corner, a figure watched Kaito Ren and Saitama leave…
