Chapter 104: IT DEFINITELY IS!!!
Legend has it that long ago, there was a pillar that stood tall between heaven and earth, flanked by two equally massive boulders.
Until one day, a man with no hair appeared. With a casual punch, he cracked the massive boulders.
After the bald man, a blond man appeared. His attack completely shattered the towering boulders.
Thus, the pillar stood alone, unsupported.
Then, the bald man who first damaged the boulders returned. With another punch, the pillar standing between heaven and earth finally couldn't hold on anymore and snapped.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The moment the fist made contact, Sonic's face turned blue instantly. A wretched scream echoed through the clouds.
She rolled on the ground in agony, her body convulsing violently, her eyes filled with dense bloodshot veins.
Again! Why do you keep hitting there?! Can't you hit somewhere else, you bastards?!
Sonic's heart was filled with unparalleled rage. Waves of excruciating pain washed over her, making it nearly impossible to control her body.
Seeing Sonic screaming in agony, Saitama seemed to realize he might have gone a little overboard. He extended a hand awkwardly.
"Uh... do you want me to call an ambulance? We can discuss compensation later. What do you think?"
However, in this state, Sonic couldn't hear a word. Her mind was a kaleidoscope of tumultuous emotions.
The humiliation and torture of being sent to prison, the unwillingness of failing revenge, the intense pain of being struck in the mysterious area—all these emotions assaulted Sonic's psyche.
If it were an ordinary person with weak will, they would have mutated into a monster in the next second, only to be punched into fragments by the Bald Demon.
But Sonic was no ordinary person. As the sole survivor of the 44th Graduation Class, his mental fortitude was far beyond average.
A second before his mind showed signs of distortion, Sonic's brain triggered a self-defense mechanism. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
The piercing screams stopped abruptly. Saitama felt a bit unaccustomed to the sudden silence.
He crouched down, looking at the unconscious Sonic, scratching his head.
"Eh? Really passed out? By the way, this guy's face looks so familiar..."
I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Maybe on TV?
Just as Saitama pondered while staring at Sonic's face, his S-Class exclusive phone rang.
[A ninja suspected of possessing S-Class combat power has escaped from prison. According to satellite tracking, the target has fled into City Z. S-Class heroes currently in City Z are requested to provide support immediately. The following is the appearance and identity information of the ninja.]
After seeing the wanted notice, Saitama looked at the phone screen, then at the unconscious Sonic. Surprise flashed in his eyes.
"So you escaped from prison. In that case, I'll just send you back."
Saitama picked Sonic up by the scruff of the neck. The ninja, known for his speed, was now limp as a dead fish, letting Saitama carry him like a chick.
After seeing the bounty amount on the wanted notice, a rare smile appeared on Saitama's face. Most of his annoyance dissipated.
"Not bad. Your bounty is pretty high. I guess you don't need to pay compensation yourself; the Hero Association will pay it for you."
The ground beneath his feet exploded. Saitama's immense physical strength erupted, launching him into the sky. Carrying Sonic, he turned into a yellow streak of light, speeding toward the Hero Association.
When he returned, he saw a tall, blond man standing at the entrance of his home—or rather, the entrance of the ruins.
"Yo, King. What are you doing here? Came to play games? Unfortunately, the console got blown up too."
It was King. He had been lounging at home when he received the alert on his S-Class phone.
He immediately realized that Sonic, whom he had thrown into prison, had escaped and hadn't come for him.
So King deduced that Sonic would only have two targets: either him or Saitama.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw only a mess. Saitama and Sonic were gone.
Saitama squatted in front of the pile of ash that used to be his bookshelf of signed manga. He hugged his knees to his chest and buried his head in his arms.
Yes, even the usually optimistic Bald Demon was a bit depressed right now.
Those signed manga volumes were obtained after queuing for hours at signing events, going back multiple times.
And now they were reduced to ash. Even Saitama felt a faint sorrow.
Sharp-eyed King noticed the residual bloodstains on the ground and roughly understood what had happened.
Sonic, eager for revenge, blew up the Bald Demon's house, got beaten up, and was probably thrown back into prison by now.
...........
It hurts... my whole body hurts. What happened?
This was Sonic's first thought upon opening her eyes. She felt like she had been beaten up in her sleep; everything ached.
Then, a magnetic voice rang in her ears. Gentle and soft, yet it sent chills down Sonic's spine.
"You're awake? You are now a qualified girl."
What the hell?!
Hearing this, Sonic felt like she had been struck by lightning. She reached down in terror to check.
But in the next moment, a reality absurd enough to shatter her worldview lay before her eyes.
Gone. It's gone.
The mysterious part she had touched for decades had vanished from her perception. She couldn't feel it at all.
Are you kidding me... It must be an illusion. It MUST be an illusion! I'm just delirious from severe injuries! That has to be it!
IT DEFINITELY IS!!!!
