This battle was not in my favor. The momentum had overwhelmingly swung against me, and the two monsterized ninjas seemed to revel in their advantage, waiting confidently for my response. I could have easily escaped into my dungeons, but something held me back. If I could defeat these two, it would prove I truly belonged at the top of the S-Class.
"Alright, come on," I said, adopting the standard stance of Spin-Style Martial Arts. I reinforced my psychic barrier, refined my intent, started rotating the chi in my body, prepared my psychic powers, and formed Shun Shun Rika into two swords. I concentrated nearly all my power into this fight, determined to give it my best.
True to form, the overconfidence of the overpowered ninjas gave me ample time to prepare. I raised my hand in the universal 'come at me' gesture, only to be struck by a force akin to a mountain. At the last moment, I managed to bring up Shun Shun Rika to deflect the blow, but I was still sent skidding back several dozen meters. I quickly recovered, swinging Shun Shun Rika and repairing the cracks as I went. The next attack came swiftly, and though I could make out the blurry shape of a spear, its impact was like that of a speeding train.
Despite the Spin enhancing my swords' force, I could barely redirect the spear, feeling my health dip slightly. The barrage of strikes continued, pushing me into a heightened state of awareness just to keep up. After a relentless series of blows, I finally managed to use my psychokinesis to force the Black Ninja back a step, but when I flung him into the sky, he was heavier than anticipated.
Before I could catch my breath, the world was engulfed in a blinding light. The ground around me disintegrated, and my MP dropped as my psychic shield buckled. A kukri pierced my hand, tearing out painfully, while a spear converged on my position with missile-like force. I leaped off the last column of earth, narrowly avoiding the incoming attack.
Conventional wisdom dictates that opponents in the air have limited counterattack options, and the White Ninja took advantage of this, advancing with blinding speed. I waited for the perfect moment, kicking off the air and delivering a powerful Spin-infused blow to his abdomen. The sound of cracking exoskeleton was gratifying, but far from sufficient given the intensity of the punch.
The White Ninja retreated slightly, and I reached out with my psychokinesis, but had to redirect my energy to fend off a descending spear thrust from the Black Ninja. The spear hit with meteor-like force, and although I managed to catch it, I couldn't avoid the subsequent strikes as the black mist condensed into more spears. I avoided one but was struck by the last, which shattered my psychic barrier and embedded itself inches deep into my stomach, sending me plummeting into the earth.

"This isn't working," I thought as I assessed my status deep underground. I had no time to check it during the battle, where even a fraction of a second's delay could be fatal. The Black Ninja's ability to create multiple spears from mist and the White Ninja's destructive light waves were overwhelming. If it were only one of them, I might have managed with a combination of my psychic power and fighting style, but facing both was beyond my current capability without resorting to my last trump card.
I noticed my clothes had been destroyed during the fight. Despite my embarrassment, Shun Shun Rika quickly restored them to their prime condition. Yet, even with this, I lacked the edge needed to defeat the ninja duo. The one suit of clothes that could make a difference was one I despised deeply.
Reluctantly, I activated my least favorite outsider skill. As the parasitic Life Fibers covered my body, I felt barbs dig into my skin, draining my blood. I activated For the Weak, rapidly restoring my health to its maximum. Using my Supreme Awareness of the Natural World, I detected the two massive auras above me, locked onto them, and activated Spin to drill upwards.
In this world, battles can be decided in a split second. The equation Power = Energy / Time / Surface Area best described the situation. My empowered fist, infused with Spin, struck the White Ninja's armored throat with microsecond precision. The impact was devastating, and his head was severed with a single blow.
The critical hit sounded, and the damage flashed through my screen. Despite the victory, I could feel my lifeforce draining. I focused on the Black Ninja, who was just starting to escape. Using my psychic power, I summoned him towards me and lashed out with red threads, grappling his smoky form. His eyes widened in terror as I unleashed a relentless barrage of slashes with Shun Shun Rika, cracking his core despite the power of rejection. Finally, with a gunshot-like noise, the core shattered, and I collapsed as the Black Ninja faded away in horror.

Those few seconds had nearly killed me. I cursed my least liked outsider ability.
**Kamui (LV 13) – Active**
A piece of clothing composed of parasitic alien Life Fibers. It grants incredible physical abilities but drains blood from those who wear it unwillingly.
My god robe was as unpleasant as it was effective. Every second in the outfit drained my blood, making me feel like a character in a bad slasher flick.
As I stood, hearing an embarrassed cough, I turned to see the future number one hero, Blast, looking at me with bewilderment.
"Don't say a word about the outfit," I snapped, summoning more clothes from my inventory. "I'm working on fixing it."
"Understood," Blast said awkwardly, composing himself. "If it helps you deal with those two, it's worth it."
"Did you get the boss?" I asked. In the canon timeline, the ninja leader was put into a coma but later killed by Saitama.
"He won't be causing any more trouble," Blast confirmed, making a slashing motion across his neck.
"That's good to hear," I said, taking in the hero's stats.

His stats were demoralizing. Even if I could use Kamui without it draining me to death, I would still fall short. Thankfully, the battle had allowed me to level up and gain the perk I had eagerly awaited.
