Making It Into The Top 4, Duh
Zakkos rushed at me with full speed and readied an attack, when I saw his attack, It was slightly amusing to see 'He's really putting everything into this attack, presumably trying to end the match right away, and a perfect time to deploy my Martial Arts' I thought. Zakkos attack made its way towards me closer and closer, and a few seconds later it was now just a few inches from me, but then I deflected his attack back at him right before it was about to hit me, hitting him straight in the chest as he was knocked back on the other side of the arena, motionless with his chest bruised and some blood could be seen, and all of that happened in a blink of an eye. I bet you not a single person saw what happened, maybe except some of the competitors 'This will get the others to at least take note of me in their minds for now' I thought. I heard the announcers going crazy after that, saying that I was stronger than what people think rather than saying Zakkos was weak like in the show. I went back next to Sourface who was just standing outside of the arena, the others were there as well
Sourface: "Hmph, you might have passed your first fight but watch yourself" He said, focusing back his attention towards the arena, waiting for the next people to fight, and then the crowd cheered very loud, this is the loudest they had cheered, and of course, the one that they are cheering for is Suiryu as he made his way to the fighting area, his opponent was already in the ring before him, and that was Lighting Max 'I never expected to be a one-sided match when I first watched this fight, It's an A-class hero! But I guess there are some people who are stronger than some heroes, and Suiryu is one of them' I thought
Saitama: "Who do you think will win?" I asked Sourface
Sourface: "I don't know, but if I had to choose over my life, I think I'll give this one to Suiryu, just watch" He said as the match started after both of them finished their conversation. Lightning Max started off by running towards him and backflipping into the air, launching a kick toward's to what appears to be a defenseless Suiryu. As Lightning Max's attack was about to connect, Suiryu just kicked him in the face before Lightning Max could hit him, sending him right on the edge of the arena as the match ended like how it did mine. The crowd roared again in awe as to what they had just seen from Suiryu
Sourface: "See! I told you! And that kick right there! Did you see that?" Sourface turned to face me as I nodded
Saitama: "I saw it, it was pretty impressive"
Sourface: "When did you become so calm and collected?"
Saitama: "Can't let my nervousness affect my performance"
Sourface: "H-hey! I know you didn't just did that to me" He looked at me furious as the next match was called up. Snek vs the long ponytail dude, I thought he was already a monster when I first saw him 'I don't want to bother stealing the other contestants Martial Arts, they wouldn't even compare to Bang's anyway, I'm only interested in Suiryu's one, but I wished he would've used it by now so that I could have mastered it right now, but of course, he just kept ending his fight with just a single kick every time' I thought as the match between Snek and ponytail dude has begun
The battle wasn't all that satisfying but I'll tell you, Snek easily won that without much trouble, his Snakebite Martial Arts is like any Martial Arts movie that I have ever seen or watched, tell me what Martial Arts related movie doesn't have a Martial Arts that resembles remotely close to a snake, I'm sure that there are plenty of them out there but from the movies that I watched in my time, there is always a snake style or some shit
And then the matches went by really quickly. The second round of the tournament will be starting anytime now with this fast outcome on each round, though not as fast as me and Suiryu's fights, but nonetheless the rounds went by fairly quickly
After some rounds have passed, Sourface finally was about to make his debut against his opponent named Jakumen. I saw that he calmed himself down a little bit, but I can still sense some nervousness running all over him
Saitama: "This should be a quick one Sourface" I said, though I think I might have chosen some poor words to use that didn't sound right to Sourface when he heard that statement of mine. He turned around and said to me
Sourface: "Oy! What does that mean?!" He raised his fist towards me with a fiery look on his face right now
Saitama: "I meant good luck...on losing"
Sourface: "What was that?"
Saitama: "Nothing, now focus on your fight or you'll definitely lose" He turned away from me to face his opponent, deciding to fill his attention on this fight. As he observed his opponent, he just realized that he was a little bit taller than him and quite frankly more physically stronger than him 'H-he's, quite the build, but I think I can take this, I hope. All of those training that I had done will not be wasted' he thought, changing his expression into a more intimidating one, but waiting for him on the other side is an opponent that was not what he was expecting when he first saw him...
"Begin!" And begin they did as I experienced the most boring fight I have ever seen. Both of them we're just throwing attacks at one another, like seriously. Sourface launched the first attack, and Jakumen launched one back towards him as well, and then the most non-exciting fight happened from there on, which made the crowd quiet down when they saw that the two were just trading blows, they didn't even think that they were launching attacks 'Were just going back and forth, I should do something to end this! This is my chance!' Sourface immediately wasted no time and got in a chokehold on Jakumen, Jakumen tried to get him off by falling on the ground, but that gave Sourface a heavy load more control as he held on to the chokehold as long as he can until he gives up, The crowd seeing an unexpected move cheered as Jakumen tapped out quickly, making Sourface the winner as he helped out Jakumen, showing the first sportsmanship I've seen today, though does that word apply here since Martial Arts isn't a sport? Whatever
Sourface made it back next to me with a big smile taped on to his face
Sourface: "Did you see that Charanko? That's how Bang's top 2 disciple does it"
Saitama: "Uh-huh, it took you longer than the other fights but it's okay"
Sourface: "I would've ended the match! I...um...I just went with whatever was thrown at me"
Saitama: "Yeah well I got to finish my match now" I started to walk toward's the fighting area to start my second fight of the tournament
Sourface: "Be wary of Bakuzan! He has some-" He kept rambling behind me but I just kept walking until I arrived just in time to come face to face with Bakuzan
"Begin!" When Bakuzan heard that, he took this chance to walk toward's me 'Oh come on, just attack!' I angrily thought, but I kept myself composed as he arrived in front of me with his arms crossed
Bakuzan: "Are you an amateur or something?" He asked as I nodded
Saitama: "Yeah, why? You scared to fight an amateur?"
Bakuzan: "Why you!" Bakuzan got mad at that as he used his Demon Sweeper Low Kick I think was its name, to try and break my legs and trip me down to the ground, what he didn't know was that I can resist basically anything, except for Fubuki...
*Boom*
The kick connected to my legs, though Bakuzan didn't feel the slightest of movement from me. He tilted his head to look at my smirking face as he started to sweat, I released a little bit of my aura but I immediately got it away before things could go south
Saitama: "Nice try" I kicked him straight up into the air as I jumped towards him, making the place where I jump, crack as I arrived in front of the falling Bakuzan, I kicked him straight in the stomach as he was sent flying out of the arena, Knocking him unconscious as I landed safely back to the arena as the medic team were already next Bakuzan, aiding him
The crowd went silent for a moment when they saw Bakuzan get completely destroyed at the start of the fight as the announcer was going crazy. Sourface and the rest of the participants were all surprised by the sudden loss of Bakuzan as I made my way back to Sourface with everyone looking at me
Saitama: "What?"
Sourface: "You just.. never mind" He faced the arena again as everyone went back to minding their own business. The announcer called up the next fighters as Snek and Suiryu made their way to the arena as they were now in front of one another, Snek readied his stance as the match started
Snek rushed at him as he threw a large number of strikes towards him, though Suiryu just kept dodging every single one he threw at him. Snek stopped rushing as he held his breath, still locked in his stance as he started a conversation with Suiryu 'Anytime now' I thought, and some moments later, Suiryu ended the match with another one-hit knockout with his kick as he left the arena to let the next fighters fight
And speaking of the next fighters, I'm again next to fight as I made my way towards the arena, as I arrived, I saw Sourface looking at me with his eyes, cracking his knuckles as I arrived in front of him 'I forgot that I have to fight him'
Sourface: "Charanko, now I'll show you what Bang's former top 2 disciple was made of!"
"Begin!" Sourface immediately ran towards me with his stance activated, once he was about to approach me, he readied a punch towards my face, though suddenly a gust of wind erupted into the arena but he didn't even think about
Sourface: "Take this!" His punch was now about to close in on my face, but then
*Boom*
Sourface: "Argh!" He was sent back to the edge of the arena by a huge force that came out of nowhere. He landed on his back as he coughed up some spit
"I think I won this one, Sourface" I said, sitting next to him who was laying on the ground. Sourface seeing me next to him asked me what did I do?
Saitama: "Nothing too serious but you we're just fighting my after image while I was here watching it all happen" I said, making him wide-eyed when he heard what I have just done
Sourface: "So that's why there was a sudden wind formed around you when I got close"
Saitama: "Yup, now get your ass up and patch yourself" He nodded as he stood up and went towards the medic team to get some help with dealing his injuries that he may have gotten from our fight. I went back outside of the arena as there were only four remaining folks left, courtesy of the announcer 'It's the endgame now, they should be making their way here now' I thought. The monsters will arrive soon, I won't let them sabotage my mission!
"There will be a short break before we move on to the final rounds! Don't leave just yet everyone! Who would leave without seeing the outcome of this tournament am I right!" The announcer dude said as the crowd cheered
Saitama: "I guess I'll go for some bathroom break" I went towards the men's bathroom as I took a very satisfying release...
After a while, I was all out of yellow stuff to pour off into the toilet
Saitama: "Come on just go in already!" I was forcing my thing to get back inside of my very wide sheaths, and finally, I was able to put it back inside my pants with a lot of trouble accompanied by it 'Damn, haven't gotten used to it yet' I flushed the toilet and exited the room as I decided to stay at the resting room on the other side of the hallways, though when I entered, there was no one present inside the room. I grabbed a seat and sat down in front of a mirror
Saitama: "This is it, a couple of matches later they will be here, It shouldn't be any trouble for me of course, probably once I win against Suiryu, then that's we're they'll appear, I don't know if Genos is even here not, he'll be a nice helping hand, what am I saying, I'm Saitama on crack, I should end them immediately once they show themselves".
===
"Incinerate" A huge blast was released from Genos's cyborg hands as it hit the cockroach monster or something, dead on
"ARGHHH!"
*Thud*
The monster's body fell into the ground, though half of its body was decimated, leaving him half bodied as he died from just one blast from Genos
Genos: "The monsters in City C have been dealt with, are there anymore lurking around?"
"I'm not sure, but if you can, you should stay there at City C for now, who knows when a sudden monster appears again and recks haveck. I'll keep in touch with you if there are any new monsters on the loose there"
Genos: "Hai" Genos put his phone back into his pocket, he turned around to look at the monster that he had just destroyed 'I should find somewhere safe to stay, maybe up high in a building' Genos blasted himself up using his Cyborg legs as the ground that he was standing on, made a small crater as he landed on top of a building
Genos: "This should be good, the view will help me scout everything here" Genos said, though he suddenly heard a loud cheer coming from the stadium, he turned to look at the place where the cheer originated from 'An ongoing tournament? At this time? I'm surprised not a single monster has invaded the place yet, If the monster goes and attacks the stadium, then no one will be able to hold them off' he thought.

Lily: "Where are you going Fubuki-sama?" She asked me
Fubuki: "I'm going to start recruiting the first person"
Lily: "Really?" She said as I nodded
Lily: "But what's with that plastic bag that you are holding Fubuki-sama?"
Fubuki: "Oh this, well, inside this bag contains the one that will make any person willing to join us, and I'm sure not even him will be able to refuse this, hehe..."
Lily: "Okay...well I'll see you later then Fubuki-sama"
Fubuki: "Sure, call me if something is happening here" She nodded as I left towards Ghost town.
