Chapter 7

[T/N- Do point out if there are any mistakes or grammatical errors, I was dealing with a little headache today.]

______________________

Arata and Saitama were unemployed vagrants, they were addicted to video games and played them every day. They also ate delicious food every day and remained lazy.

But now they finally had to face the most critical problem of their life and that was "We're out of money"!

Yes, Arata had mentioned it before that he had enough money for 1 and a half years but the truth was that he had enough money for him to squander for at least ten years alone, but the two of them squandered it in just three years.

"Saitama, It's all your fault, You've been eating like a pig ever since you've gotten bald and now you have eaten up all the funds for our activities."

Arata glanced at the remaining change in his pocket and complained about Saitama's horrendous appetite.

Since Saitama had broken his own "Limiter", He had gone farther and farther onto the road of "The King Of Food".

But thinking about it, it was normal to have more power while at the same time increase in appetite.

After all, [The Law Of Conservation Of Energy] still had to be obeyed.

"Aren't you the same Arata? You buy a new game every few days which resulted in money being expended so fast. Just look at the number of games you bought."

The bald head was dissatisfied by Arata's accusation and pointed his finger towards the large number of game boxes scattered all over the floor.

"Ha, you don't spend any less time playing than me!"

Said Arata, He and Saitama got into a fight but these kinds of interactions were now a daily thing for them.

"Arata, it's almost six o'clock, which means that the supermarket discount sales are about to begin."

"Damn! Why didn't you say this earlier? If we get there late, Then we'll get robbed by those aunties and only some vegetables would be left for us."

Hearing Saitama's reminder, Arata immediately got excited and immediately packed up and got ready to go out.

Poor Arata who lived like a young master at home before had fallen so low after he started living with Saitama.

He was now actually reduced to someone who went with Saitama to grab bargains on discounts and promotions in the supermarket every day.

*BooooM*

When the two were walking on the street, they suddenly felt that the ground was shaking, and immediately after that in the city, a huge explosion occurred.

"It's a Monster again.... Do you want to go there together?"

Saitama looked at Arata without any fluctuations in his expression. Obviously, Saitama wanted to deal with this monster. Anyway, for him, it was just a matter of one punch.

"Let's go together, We'll follow the old rules, if it's too strong then you'll deal with it but if it's weak then leave it to me "

Arata originally planned to let Saitama deal with it but when he thought of the future and the dangerous worlds he might have to go to so he changed his mind.

Now, he always followed Saitama to buy meat was because he seemed to encounter monsters very often, giving the System a chance to give him more tasks, draw some cards, and increase his chances of survival.

Anyway, there was Saitama by his side, at least his safety was guaranteed. But when he gets sent to other worlds, he wouldn't have any kind of protection and would have to rely on himself.

The two swiftly moved in the direction of the movement, arriving there they saw a huge weird man with two antennas and purple skin.

Arata saw the other party and instantly recognized the other party's origin.

Vaccine Man, Possession of strength near Peak Dragon-Level, was a copy of the appearance of Piccolo from dragon ball. Claims to be the incarnation of the will of the planet, possessing the ability to release balls of energy, and the ability to transform once.

The energy light balls released by Vaccine Man could instantly destroy a large number of urban buildings. Destroying several cities was also easy quite for him

With the strength of Peak Dragon-Level, even Tatsumaki might find it hard to defeat it if she encountered it, let alone Arata.

[T/N- I'm pretty sure the author hadn't read about the fight between The big naked lady esper (Forgot her name) and Tatsumaki from the manga when he wrote this chapter.]

When Arata saw Vaccine Man he immediately wanted Saitama to deal with it instead of him, but the [Hero System] released a mission.

[ *Ding*, Task one: Rescue the little girl who is about to die tragically in the hands of the vaccine man. (Reward: One chance to draw a card.) ]

[ *Ding*, Task two: Cause at least 10% of the output damage to the vaccine person. (Reward: Two chances to draw cards.) ]

[ *Ding*, Task three: Successfully kill the vaccine person alone. (Reward: Five Limited Card drawing opportunities.) ]

Three missions appeared in a row, and the rewards and difficulty were also different for each.

The First mission was something that Arata could do as for The second mission, Arata might be able to do it too. But the third task was completely impossible to complete.

Although the rewards of the [Limited Draw] were very attractive, it was useless since there was no way Arata could kill Vaccine Man.

(Limited Draw: Specify a card type, then only that type of card would appear when drawing the card.)

Till now Arata had been exercising with Saitama. Although there was no tremendous improvement like Saitama's his strength had also improved.

But the so-called progress was the only progression from " Middle Tiger-level" to "Upper Tiger-level", there was still a little distance from "Peak Tiger-level".

But the Vaccine Man had "Peak Dragon-Level" strength, The gap between him and Arata was too massive.

Let alone killing the opponent, even the second task of causing him 10% damage was a big challenge for Arata.

As he walked closer to Vaccine Man, Arata finally found the little girl of his mission.

At the moment, the little girl was standing on the ruins and crying, but this attracted the attention of Vaccine Man. So Vaccine man stretched out his sinful hand to the little girl, planning to pinch the loli to death.

"Sweeping Blade!"

Arata's legs suddenly seemed to be entangled by the wind. He was originally quite fast but after using the wind only after images of his were left in the air.

[A/N- (Game is a game, the reality is reality, Performance of skills may be different.) ]

The next moment, Arata's figure suddenly appeared in front of the little girl, and the giant hand of the Vaccine Man also drew near them.

Arata squatted down and quickly assumed the posture of "Drawing a Sword" while listening to the sound of the wind and feeling the flow of the wind.

"!"

A cold light flashed, but it didn't have any specific target, It cut the space in front of Arata. However, the speed of the sword light cut through the sound barrier and a "Wind wall" appeared in front of the two of them.

Vaccine Man naturally noticed Arata, but for him, it was just another ant to kill, It made no difference to him.

*CRACK*

The giant palm slapped on the wind wall, and a huge noise erupted. The power of the Peak Dragon-level Vaccine Man erupted, and the wind wall could only slightly block the giant palm before he got blasted away together with the little girl in his embrace.

The difference between the strength of the two of them was too great. The defense of the "Wind Wall" was indeed amazing, but at the moment it was completely unable to defend against Vaccine Man's casual blow.

Arata got slammed into a building and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, but the little girl in his arms was just unconscious and did not receive any kind of injuries. He had successfully protected her.

Arata felt like his body was about to break apart as he put the little girl in his arms down.

The first task was completed.

The next step was to complete the second task as soon as possible but Arata wasn't going to act stubborn regarding the task. If he could do it then that was great but if he couldn't do it then he'll just let Saitama deal with it.
