Silver Fang, class S Professional Hero, rank 3

"Fubuki-sama, is it true that this asteroid is at the Dragon threat level?" Lily's question was tinged with nervousness because this was the very first time that she had really come face to face with a situation like this.

Currently, Lily and Fubuki were standing outside the Z city branch of the Hero Association building. The two of them were observing from a distance the members of the Blizzard Group who were currently busy helping in the process of evacuating residents of Z city.

"Yeah, according to the information I got, it seems so, and this isn't just any Dragon-level threat, considering that what we're up against aren't monsters but rather asteroids."

As soon as Lily heard Fubuki's response, her entire body began to tremble. She had no way of knowing how big the asteroid was or how devastating it would be if it hit this city. So, she hoped that the S-class heroes, who were the vanguards of humanity, could eliminate this Dragon-level threat without causing too many casualties.

When Fubuki saw that Lily had become gloomy, she questioned her by asking, "Are you scared?"

Lily didn't want to answer for a while, but in the end, she gave Fubuki a wry smile before saying, "Of course I'm scared, but Fubuki-sama, I'm even more afraid that I'll be useless and can't do anything in this situation."

As she continued, Lily looked up at the sky, which was partly cloudy, and said, "With my little strength, I can't do anything to deal with the asteroid that is about to hit this city,"

After taking a deep breath, Fubuki immediately and without further ado gave Lily a hard hit to the head, "ahhh... it hurts. What are you doing, Fubuki-sama?"

*rubbing

"Are you stupid? Of course, you have something you can do in this situation. Isn't that why we came to this Z city?"

'I myself also understand, even though it's hard for me to admit it, but I also can't do anything about the asteroid threat,' Fubuki thought as she followed along, looking up at the sky of Z city.

But then Fubuki thought of her older sister, and all of a sudden, the feelings she had been suppressing slowly surfaced one by one. Most of those feelings were massive inferiority complexes, and Fubuki couldn't help but feel that way.

Fubuki let out a sigh as she muttered, "If she was here, I'm sure she could handle it easily, huh," but Lily, who was standing next to her at the time, asked curiously:

"she? who do you mean, Fubuki-sama?"

It was out of the ordinary for Lily to see Fubuki get flustered, so Fubuki immediately ordered Lily by saying, "you better join the others. Don't you want to help?" This was Fubuki's attempt to divert her attention away from the question.

"uhhh, fine if Fubuki-sama says so."

Because Lily didn't want to make Fubuki angry, she quickly left and began helping the other members of the Blizzard group in the process of evacuating the citizens of City Z. This included helping to manage traffic, carrying people's luggage, and even tackling robbers and thieves who were trying to take advantage of the situation in the midst of the chaos.

-

Not too far from Fubuki, I was standing in the middle of a crowd of people who were pushing and shoving each other. I tried to blend in, but for some reason, the people around me didn't seem to notice that I was there.

"Look at that woman. Even though she's trying to give off the impression of being a strong woman who always looks elegant and full of charisma, I'm sure she's trying to hold back her nerves right now."

I walked slowly toward Fubuki, avoiding bumping into anyone or attracting their attention until finally, I was right next to Fubuki. Then this woman was a little surprised when she realized my presence which seemed to materialize out of thin air.

"Would you mind if I asked you what your plan is?"

Fubuki just looked around before walking into the building, saying, "come with me. We can discuss it inside."

Seeing Fubuki, who was so secretive, made me curious about what she was planning to do, and when we both entered, I was immediately greeted by a fairly quiet atmosphere.

A little bit different from what I was anticipating, as I thought that this place would be bustling with Hero Association staff as well as their professional heroes, but in reality, there were fewer than ten people visible in the lobby by itself.

"Oh, I didn't expect to meet Fubuki here. Young people like you are really needed in this industry."

Hearing those words and how that person referred to Fubuki and me as a 'young people', I vaguely immediately knew the identity of the person who was talking, and so did Fubuki. However, in contrast to me, who was still calm without showing many reactions, Fubuki overreacted a bit, as her voice trembled as she replied:

"umm, good afternoon, Master Silver Fang."

This old man with silver hair is a character who is described as being full of wisdom, and he is one of the characters at the beginning of the story which already aware of Saitama's true strength.

"Let me introduce you to Silver Fang, a very skilled Master of Martial Arts who is currently a class S Professional Hero, rank 3."

Whether it was due to nervousness or something else, Fubuki suddenly tried to introduce this old geezer to me. But because I didn't want to bother myself, I simply nodded my head and didn't say anything else.

Silver Fang's expression changed to one of surprise when he saw I still could maintain my composure. He even began to examine my entire body in great detail, acting as though he was looking for something specific, and then he turned to Fubuki and said:

"I've seen in the news about you and your Blizzard Group, and I'm astounded by all the accomplishments you've had in the past. It surprised me that you guys only became famous recently."

The unexpected praise that Fubuki received from the S-class Hero Silver Fang left her feeling both proud and speechless, but in the end, she conveyed her gratitude by bowing several times to express her thanks.

"How long are we going to be here? I'm bored. I'll just go home."
