Dr. Kuseno- Scientist who is brilliant in machinery and he is the one who built the cyborg body for Genos.

In the hero association, the executives are talking about the recent attacks on the S-rank hero, Dead lance.

This attack really made them panic as the hero association was only about 7 months ago and almost all the executives only heard about that Grey area from rumors except for Agoni, Godiem, and McCoy.

Agoni knew about them because of Dr. Kuseno who is his friend. From the look of it, most of the executives don't know about that Grey area except for Godiem and McCoy.

'I expected Godiem to know about that area but what I didn't expect is that McCoy also knew about that I really need to note that point and observe him,'

"From the look on your faces, I can see that you don't know anything about this Grey area. So I will tell you, just like its name the Grey area is operated by several powerful groups who I don't even know. Still, certainty is that the people invited by the Grey area are people with criminal records. But these criminals are only there to get a job to get money, these powerful groups posted the mission on the Greyboard which accepts any mission without moral limits," said Agoni.

"Without moral limit, then the missions there can be anything. That really nuts, I didn't know that our world is this deep," said Lazina.

"There is also the market where anything you desire can be obtained from monster meat to humans alive or dead," said Agoni.

"What? Why the government is watching what happened?" said Kirisa.

"The thing is government might be not able to do anything after all this is the place created by the powerful groups so they will certainly have people on the government side too," said Hwari.

"Yes, that's right. There are people from their side in the government too. The place where Grey area can't be found and no one knew where is it," said Godiem.

"Humm, as a department head of the media, I didn't know about this big news really ashamed me to no end," said Guiches.

"Guiches-san, you don't have to feel ashamed as even I who lead the department of trading don't know about that," said Sekingar.

"What I want to know is why are they attacking Dead lance? As far as I know, Dead lance is the guy who only does his hero work and he shouldn't be involved in these kinds of business," said Monet.

"I can assure you that Dead lance is not someone who will do these kinds of things that will make him involved with the people from the Grey area," said Kirisa.

After that, they talked more about how to counter the people from the Grey area and they ended their meeting.

In Gin's home, he is currently practicing the new move. He is trying to reduce half of his lance from his handler while the top part will remain in the original weight.

This move can make his attack stronger and the speed will also be faster when he attacked with a swipe motion.

In the headquarters of Mclonal, the three guys Yerm, Vircto, and Peroni are sitting and reading the last mission report which they post on the Greyboard.

"Tsk, this tri-serpent(Nisho, Ramon, and Yeig) are also useless even though they are supposed to be best in cases involving human kidnapping," said Yerm.

"They are the best when involving normal humans and even some heroes below A-rank but Dead lance is a different beast that can't be calculated by normal standards. I am not that surprised about the failure of the mission," said Peroni.

"We should make the mission to killing mission after all Dead lance also seems to get to know a thing or two about us from the mouths of tri-snake," said Vircto.

"That can put a dent in our budget after all this mission failure makes the price more expensive," said Peroni.

"Why do you guys think about killing Dead lance through the Grey area when we can kill him by ourselves?" said Yerm.

"What are you... Ohh, you are talking about the monsters from the Alpha creation," said Vircto.

"You guys are talking about the modified monsters from the Alpha creation but how are you going to control these guys to attack Dead lance? Even we can't control them and the only thing we can do is inject daily doses of sedatives," said Peroni.

"The thing is we don't have to control it just released it to Z city," said Yerm.

"Releasing it is good and all but is Dead lance really that worth our time and money to spend to kill him," said Peroni.

"We have to kill him because he damaged our company budgets and our images in the inner circle," said Yerm in anger.

"I also agree with the fact of killing Dead lance. After all Grey area might be closed to the heroes but if Dead lance were to find a way to know, the Grey area might abandon us to save its flesh," said Vircto.

"Then how are we attacking?" said Peroni.

"That is easy, we will move the monsters to the basement of the building below the currently building branch in Z city and we just have to stop giving them sedatives," said Yerm while smiling.

"We can do that after all, these monsters are not that useful for our company and their flesh is also very hard to chew. Our head scientist from Alpha creation also is telling us to dispose of them," said Vircto.

Gin who doesn't know that he is targeted by Mclonal is currently eating in the Mclonal with Saitama who he happened to meet about 30 minutes ago.

30 minutes ago, Gin is training his new move with his lance but he can't reduce the weight from near his hands and he can only reduce half of the original weight. So he thought about changing to other targets so he went for a jog and picked up a wooden stick from the ground and practiced.

While he is practicing, he met Saitama who is training near him while sweating heavily.

Gin noticed him because Saitama is sweating and when he saw him he is doing squats. The ground beneath him felt a little lower than the other area which makes Gin aware of him.

Saitama did squats while counting and when he finished he sat down beside Gin who is holding a wooden stick.

After calming his hurried breaths, Saitama looked beside him and saw Gin who is also looking at him.

"What are you looking at?" said Saitama.

Gin looked at Saitama who has short hair and his sweating jumping suit and said "Why are you training so much?"

"To become stronger," said Saitama.

"For what?" said Gin.

"To be able to kill every monster in one punch," said Saitama.

"Why do you want to defeat?" said Gin.

"Because I want to become a hero. Why the hell are you asking me questions and why should I talk?" said Saitama while pissed.

Gin looked at Saitama who looked pissed and he thought about a good idea. That is to make him stay in the same building with him. Gin heard that the people from the second floor are moving and he wants Saitama to move there. That way he will be safer.

"Why I am asking you is that by only training you will not be stronger quickly, you will also fight with the monsters that way you will gain combat experience," said Gin.

"Fighting monsters? I did that every day," said Saitama.

'I heard from the news that the monsters in Z city are found dead without anyone who accepts the credit for killing that monsters. Is Saitama killing these monsters?' thought Gin while staring at the angular face of Saitama which will become an egg face in the future.

"Is it you who is killing the monsters in the daytime around this week?" said Gin.

"I don't know about others but I kill some monsters this week," said Saitama.

"Are you registered to the hero association?" said Gin.

"Hero association? What is that?" said Saitama puzzled.

Gin looked at the stupid face of Saitama and thought is this guy staying under the rock to not know about the hero association?

Saitama felt like he got insulted by he looked at the serious face of Gin and thought that it is his imagination.

"The hero association is the association that protects the cities and attacked monsters, the hero can sell the dead monsters to them," said Gin.

The moment Saitama heard the selling part, all the other words disappeared from his head, and asked Gin while shaking his shoulders "You can sell the dead monsters?"

"Yes, but you have to register as a hero in the hero association," said Gin.

"How do you register as a hero?" said Saitama.

"You can take the hero test which is held every year in the hero association headquarter in A city," said Gin.

"When is the nearest test will be held?" asked Saitama.

"It will be held next month," said Gin.

"Saitama, from the look of it, you really don't know about these things and you don't have a Tv in your house?" asked Gin.

"I have but I am in the power-saving mode so I don't use that much electricity," said Saitama.

While talking Gin got hungry so he brought Saitama to Mclonal to have a quick snack.
