It's decided.

Moomin Rider will remain the top -ranked Class C hero.

Understood. I will inform him of our decision.

It's baffling.

I don't know why he has no desire to move up to Class B. Our next item on the

agenda for this meeting? The 55th Hero Certification Exam and the circumstances

surrounding it.

Currently, the total number of candidates is... Over 11 ,000, with the

offered at six different venues.

That's an increase of more than 22 % over the previous exam.

We mustn't be happy with simple quantity.

Even with more candidates, if the quality of the heroes is reduced, then

numbers are meaningless.

Therefore, we must be even more critical during evaluations.

Also, it's my understanding that a certain person of interest is taking the

this time. Yes, sir.

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but I'm confident that his participation will

indeed occur.

We'll be right back.

Thank you for

watching!

Thank you.

Next,

side -to -side jumps for 30 seconds.

Ready?

1500 meter run.

Go!

Next, weight lifting.

Next, shot put.

Vertical jumping.

Whack -a -mole.

Punching machine.

I'm leaving.

Finally.

Done with all the tests.

Now I just wait for the results.

Hey,

are you done too?

Yes.

Say, what's the point in you taking fitness tests?

Huh? Well, I mean, can't you just give them the data on your specs or

Never mind.

So, how did it go? The challenges were far too simple. Both the written and

fitness exams.

I know, right?

Is that really all there is to becoming a hero?

We should get our results soon.

70 points is a passing grade.

The written test was so easy, anyone could get full points on it. That just

leaves the fitness test, which for us poses no problem.

I got 100 points.

Seriously? Yes.

It says that I am now fully certified as a Class S hero.

Class S?

What's that mean? When it comes down to it, I am sure these rankings mean very

little. So how did you do?

Huh?

Oh,

the letter says I'm also Class S.

I am not surprised.

Huh? On top of that, the font size is bigger than mine.

Just as I expected.

By the way, what did they ask you at the interview?

The interview?

Yes.

All right, then. Just one final question.

Genos, does this building look familiar to you?

We've been secretly investigating a group of troublemakers.

These ne 'er -do -wells call themselves the House of Evolution, just when we

identified their center of operations.

We found the building in question had been mysteriously destroyed.

Obliterated by intense firepower.

Are you responsible for this?

Actually, I am.

Ah,

I see.

I suppose that since they found your performance satisfactory... No interview

was needed.

Master?

Maybe. Or it's because I'm a classy hero with a score of 71 points.

Maybe that?

I see.

Viewing only part of the document, I mistakenly thought the top half of the C

was an S.

Stop analyzing it, jerk! It must be a mistake.

I will speak to the person in charge about this. No, don't! You'll just

embarrass me!

Mr. Saitama, there will be a seminar for successful candidates at 4 p .m.

Please come to lecture hall number three.

All right, then. Come on.

When you get right down to it, the only thing that really matters is we passed.

Let's get this over with and go home.

We finally found the cyborg we've been looking for.

Yeah? So I've heard.

In consideration of his past accomplishments, we've made an exception

certified him as a Class S hero.

I just wanted to make sure you were notified of this recent turn of events.

Yes. And I approve.

Hmm.

Genos, huh?

Congratulations on passing.

Now, to be honest, one of you only made it on a fluke.

Someone lets you want your luck to go to waste.

I better see you giving it your all.

And don't get cocky, got it? Keep your certified hero status in mind. From here

on, I expect you to act modestly.

After all, your faces will be placed on the main page of the Hero Association

website.

Did you hear me?

That goofball head on your shoulders is going to be shown to the whole world. If

you don't want to humiliate yourselves...

Desire to be a distinguished hero like me.

Master!

As a Class A hero, I have influence over the Association's decisions.

So those who behave irresponsibly will lose their points and get demoted! Have

made myself clear?

What should I have for dinner tonight?

Apparently, the Hero Association was formed about three years ago.

Oh, huh.

So they're relatively new.

A monster attacked the grandchild of some millionaire named Agoni.

The child was saved by someone passing by.

When Agoni heard what happened, he created this system and used its fortune

establish the Hero Association. The rest is history.

Well, they have some pretty boring seminars.

In any case, as new heroes we will be known around the world. We will be

respected and compensated.

From now on, we can work with our heads held high.

Master.

Huh?

Now I am officially your disciple.

Please,

continue to teach and guide me as my mentor.

Sure. Alright then. Good night, Master.

Yeah. See you later.

Crap. Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to say I'd take someone on as a

disciple.

Especially this guy.

Those two newcomers today.

Did they really pass the exam?

Their attitudes were awful.

I'm class A, rank 38, dammit. They hadn't the slightest idea who I was.

Plus, they have no clue how the world works. They're a couple of amateurs.

They'll be dead in no time.

No.

Genos got perfect scores on both the written and physical exams.

He's a phenomenal rookie who gained a Class S ranking right off the bat. The

other new recruit, Saitama, had terrible scores on the essay, but got a perfect

50 on the physical.

That score was how he was able to pass it all.

In practically every activity on the fitness exam, he broke the Hero

Association's test records by inconceivable margins.

Frankly, It's as if there's a god residing in that body.

Knack, you've already been outranked by Genos.

His S -class status reflects that. And with his physical test score, Saitama

might soon catch up to you.

That's a guess.

If I get to the top of Class C, then I'll get promoted to Class B.

And Class A is above that, with Class S being even above that.

I guess Genos is actually pretty amazing.

I don't know.

Maybe this isn't the kind of hero I wanted to be.

Huh?

The newcomer seminar isn't over yet!

In this business, there's a little thing we like to call rookie crushing. A lot

of us established heroes hate the prospect of being outranked.

So we crush newbies.

With moves like this!

Thank you.

Hero registry?

Yes. I am a Class S hero, and you are a Class C hero, both ranked last in our

classes. Right now, we are still listed under the designations of Genos and

Saitama, but as we perform more heroic acts, we will acquire hero names.

Hold on, hero names?

What are those?

Well, I believe they are considered to be like nicknames based on a hero's

characteristics. For example, I might be the Blonde Cyborg.

Wait. If that's how it works, I could end up with a really sucky name like the

Caped Baldi. You can be ranked by ability, but you can also be ranked by

popularity. There are some heroes that have fan clubs, but no one really cares

about that stuff. Master,

thank you for agreeing to my odd request.

I appreciate it. No problem.

I mean, I did promise to make you my disciple and all.

Is right here good?

Perfect.

So we're just having a practice bout, right? Not fighting for real?

That is what I had in mind, yes.

But I want you to go all out.

In return, I too will give it everything I've got.

Leave, Master.

I was close.

Could have burned my clothes.

Damn!

I need more speed!

Hm?

I got him this time.

Master will have to take me more seriously now.

What the?

It looks like I win.

Master.

Yeah?

You still remember the rules of the bout, right?

You are supposed to evade any attack you are able to dodge. Take it seriously,

and no fooling around.

Do not hold back.

And lastly...

Keep fighting until I am no longer able to fight.

Even Master Saitama cannot explain it. The secret to his incredible power.

This fight may finally give me some insight.

You are to show me no mercy.

Now then, again!

No way!

Come on, I'm hungry. Time for lunch.

Let's grab some udon noodles.

Unbelievable.

I am fully prepared to do anything in order to become stronger.

But I cannot picture myself ever approaching Master's power.

Not even close.

He is on a different level.

What's the matter?

You don't like Udon?

I see.

That's his location.

Thanks. I'll head there now.

No. Don't worry about a thing.

I'm just gonna let him know what the industry is expecting of him.

I'm glad you like Udon. I love it.

Yes. Although I am not a picky eater.

Well, to be honest, I'm also kind of low on funds right now.

Oh.

Hey, how about another match, Genos?

Look at them. That's insane. No way. My goodness, what a handsome man.

I give.

Oh, do I win?

You're awesome.

Welcome. Is it anywhere?

You must be Genos.

I'm a My Mask, Class A, Rank 1.

I'd like to talk to you.

Class A, Rank 1.

He's a My Mask. He's so gorgeous.

Talk about what?

He might be another rookie crusher.

Be careful, Genos.

I see.

Wait here, Master.

I shall return.

Very well.

I was considering a walk to digest my food.

Heard you were certified Class S by special exception.

True, and what of it?

I wonder if he's doing all right out

there.

Are you finished already?

Yes. You really are a Class S. To have the top -ranked Class A hero come to

personally crush you.

No.

You're saying he wasn't here to fight?

Then why was he here?

Well, from the sound of it.

He came to welcome me.

Wait. What?

What's that mean?

Excuse me.

Class S heroes and Class C heroes sure get treated differently.

If you think about it though, isn't that kind of like fraud money?

I mean, you're a cyborg, right?

Yeah.

Never mind.

Anyway, now we have one win and one loss between us.

Starting today, we're certified professional heroes.

Let's do our very best, okay?

Right.

Listen to me.

A professional hero must always be a beautiful symbol of justice.

That is my philosophy.

Especially if you're Class S.

Come on, there's no need to glare at me.

I came all the way here just to see you.

How was the certification exam?

It was utter garbage.

Such exams are a waste of time.

If you came here to fight, get on with it.

This, too, is a waste of time.

Being hot -blooded is fine, but if you take it too far, you get burned.

I'll forget about your criticism of the Association.

Thank you for your time.

We expect great things from you.

Welcome to the team, Genos.

Master.

Huh?

Excuse me. I will be back.

Oh. Sure.

Okay.

See you later.

Yes. Goodbye.

A waste of time, huh?

What an interesting fellow you are.

Thank you.

So, uh, when you said back, you meant later tonight?

Yes. I needed some time to go home and gather up my thing.

May I live here with you now?

No way.

Absolutely not.

I have rent money.

Did you bring a toothbrush?

Yes.

I'm Nick.

Class A, rank 38.

A lot of guys think my name is Snake, but it's Snake.

And don't you forget it. Next on One Punch Man is episode 6, The Terrifying

City. Huh? Time left, huh?

That's right.

In this industry, there's such a thing as killing time with episode previews.

Get used to it!
