44 Chapter 44

Waking up, Akira brushed his teeth and showered then wore some casual clothes and left his room. He pass through the grand hallway. The wallpaper is Anglo-Japanese design with Roman and Greek themes in the frieze on the ceilings and walls. The predominant colors are dark with tan and gold highlights, creating an interesting contrast to the original interior trim painting of ashen pinks, tans, pale blues and black detailing.

This combination of colors is repeated throughout almost all the mansion. The tall, heavy, varnished wood doors have as the top panel, colored glass panes of amber, blue and pink, in a geometric design. On either side of the main doors are smaller, longer versions of the colored glass windows. The doors and small windows have molded surrounds of painted wood with bulls-eye corner blocks and decorative accents on the door surrounds and on the baseboard. The door knobs, plates, and hinges are brass with raised Eastlake style ornament.

This house showed the previous owner's love for ancient structures.

"I'll be going out" Akira said when he saw Bruce on his way through the door

Bruce nodded, "have a safe trip".

Akira then left after opening the wooden door.

Jogging like a normal person, Akira looked around and was thinking.

Z-City is a large city. It consists of a business district, a residential district, and an abandoned, trashed area commonly referred to as the Ghost Town. Saitama and Genos are inhabitants of the latter area, which is home to many Mysterious Beings but is free to live in. It is rumored to contain incredibly powerful Mysterious Beings.

Z-City has the most percentage of monster activities in the past decade.

Akira jogged to it, and on the way he saw a lot of rubble and fallen fences, "looks bad as always, anyways" he then looked at his destination.

The apartment resides in the middle of Z-City's ghost town, therefore Saitama is the only resident there.

The building had a bridge near it, and it looked like there is ashes in the air, Akira just exhaled and went up the building and pressed a bell.

The Metal door opened and Genos was looking out, "Yo i came, where is Saitama?" Genos was caught by surprise and said "Oh, Master is...", At that time Akira heard a lazy voice, "Akira, get inside i got a great game, and i need a newbie like you to test it on", after hearing that Akira got inside and looked around.

The apartment was small with a large living space, a small kitchen, and a bathroom, in the living space, Saitama was sitting in front of a Screen and a console and handed a controller to Akira who just entered.

He took the controller and sat next to him while looking at the screen "oh is this a football game?".

Saitama just nodded and said "I'm new to them as well so i won't have that much of an advantage".

Akira shook his head and said with a smile "you may lose if you keep saying that", then the game started and both looked at the intro together.

[Football is one of the most popular games in the world. It is also one of the oldest games. It is a game of strength and stamina.]

The game started and before they could control their teams, the Camera did a turn around to give the played a feeling of immersion The entire ground was well decorated and a large number of chairs were arranged for the guests and spectators. Both the teams were well-prepared and looked confident. The ground was full packed. Both the teams entered the ground after a bit.

After the toss, the referee blew the whistle and the match began. Both Akira and Saitama focused and It was expected to be a well-contested and lively match. Both were expecting to score well. During the first few minutes, it was the Saitama dominated the match.

He struck hard to the defenses of Akira's team, but failed to score any goal. However, He performed brilliantly and the Ai spectators enjoyed the game.

Akira was in high spirit. As a result He overturned the match and gained control over it which was lost during the mid-hour. In the meantime, Saitama scored a goal.

The goal was appreciated with thunderous applause. The team was cheered by the spectators.

in the middle of the match there was a small pause and Akira noticed that it has been more than 30 minutes, he just looked around and saw that Genos was nowhere to be seen, and instead he saw a note that has been put on the table.

he picked it up and read it [I will go get groceries], "Genos left for groceries" Akira said and Saitama did an acknowledging noise, he picked up his controller and focused back on the screen.

The match again started with the whistle of the referee. Saitama made pressure on Akira during the first few minutes, by hitting one after another at the goal but the goalkeeper of Akira's team was extraordinarily sharp and quick in kicking the goal back. The game became very exciting and thrilling during the last minute.

At one time, the game appeared to be ended in Akira's loss. Each of the team was trying its best to win the match. The game was about to over but surprisingly Akira scored a goal over Saitama. This was a surprising win which caused a great sensation in the ground. There was deafening cheers from its supporters.

"*sigh*, That was intense" Saitama said as he leaned back, and looked at Akira "were you lying about not playing games since 1 years ago?".

"why would i lie about that, it was probably just luck that we ended in a draw" Akira stood up while stretching, "do you have another game?", just as Saitama started fumbling in his games, they heard a knock and a loud shout "Class-B hero Saitama Come Out".

"i will get the door, just look for the game" Akira then strolled and opened the door, "what do you want?".
