One Punch Man: Double Godly Start Chapter 021

“That’s pretty amazing. I’ll trouble you if I need anything in the future.”

Saitama scratched his back with his hand, not feeling anything special.

“Alright, I’m going to take a shower first. Do you have any other plans today?”

Byakuya nodded.

“Nope. If there are no monsters, I just want to lie down and read manga or play games.”

Speaking of which, Saitama suddenly thought of something. “Oh, Byakuya, are you interested in games?”

“Yeah, I’ve played a lot of games before.”

Byakuya replied.

“Perfect, then I’ll bring the games to your place later.”

Saitama immediately invited.

As for Saitama himself, he hadn’t even broken a sweat, so he naturally didn’t need to shower in the middle of the day.

Byakuya, on the other hand, was already drenched in sweat. Breaking his limits had exhausted him quite a bit.

“Okay.”

Byakuya agreed.

Playing games with Saitama-sensei might seem like a waste of time to him, but in reality, he wanted to see if defeating Saitama-sensei in a game would grant him a reward.

If he could get a reward, then it definitely wouldn’t be a waste of time.

Even if he couldn’t, it was still fine, because he also wanted to play the games of this world. It was actually quite similar to Japan in the world he was in before he transmigrated, where physical game discs and handheld consoles were still prevalent.

“Even though I got lost twice, I had a lot of fun today.”

Saitama sighed as they walked down the stairs from the rooftop.

“…Glad you had fun.”

Byakuya echoed, a slight hint of helplessness in his smile.

Had a lot of fun…?

Byakuya couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

His full effort was just a casual game in front of Saitama-sensei.

However, precisely because it was Saitama-sensei, he didn’t feel any frustration or discouragement.

…………

After showering, Byakuya walked out of the bathroom to find that Saitama had already set up the game on the TV and was waiting for him.

Those physical discs usually used the TV screen as a display.

“You’re done showering! Come on, let’s play.”

Saitama patted the cushion next to him. He had brought both cushions.

“Okay, I’ll dry my hair first.”

After Byakuya dried his hair, he sat next to Saitama and picked up the game controller.

“This is a fighting game I’ve always loved playing. Do you need me to teach you?”

Saitama became slightly excited.

He had been practicing against the AI in the game for so long, and now he could finally have a PvP match against a real person.

“No need, I know a thing or two about these kinds of games.”

Byakuya shook his head slightly.

He could tell from the game interface that it was similar to King of Fighters or Street Fighter from his previous life. Even though he had only played such classic games when he was very young, the impression was still very deep.

Initially, Byakuya didn’t turn off his Mangekyo Sharingan.

The result was… he utterly crushed Saitama in the game…

Because he was still clear about the basic operations of this type of game, and his Mangekyo Sharingan’s abilities could also come in handy when playing games, he completely dominated Saitama in the very first round.

[Ding! Host has defeated Saitama in a game, gaining a reward: 10 points!]

The points given by the system this time were much fewer, indicating that the system knew that the difficulty of defeating Saitama in a game was not high, so it appropriately lowered the reward.

Saitama’s mouth twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected to be utterly crushed by Byakuya in the very first game.

Just now, he had wanted to teach Byakuya how to play this game, but Byakuya had turned around and beaten him soundly.

If you told Saitama his strength was weak, he would just smile calmly, but if you said his gaming skills were bad, he might actually get angry with you.

“So your gaming skills are this good, huh? Then I’ll have to get serious too.”

Saitama immediately adopted a serious art style, as if to show Byakuya his serious gaming skills.

Byakuya also realized he had gone a bit overboard. He quietly turned off his Mangekyo Sharingan, only using his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to play games with Saitama.

However, a moment later…

“K.O!”

Saitama was defeated by Byakuya again, but at least it wasn’t as ugly as the previous loss.

Because this time, Byakuya not only turned off his Mangekyo Sharingan but also went easy on him.

“Again!”

Saitama was still unconvinced.

“……”

Byakuya silently turned off even his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, returning to normal black eyes.

…………

Unknowingly, ten games passed just like that.

Saitama-sensei lost all ten games…

Byakuya had tried his best to go easy, but he couldn’t make it too obvious. Even when he went easy, he still won.

Because Saitama’s gaming skills remained the same, while Byakuya, as a new player, was getting more skilled and improving with each game.

Moreover, the insight and learning ability brought by his Mangekyo Sharingan, even when he turned off his Sharingan, these abilities didn’t completely disappear. His abilities were still far beyond those of ordinary people.

The gap in their gaming skills grew wider and wider, making it difficult for him to even lose a game, as he couldn’t intentionally lose too obviously. If Saitama-sensei noticed, he definitely wouldn’t be happy.

After ten consecutive losses, Saitama’s expression gradually became irritable.

But he had his own bottom line as a person. No matter how much he was abused in games, he would never resort to violence against his opponent out of anger.

He would only get angry by himself or vent his anger on monsters.

“I’m starting to get a bit tired, but Saitama-san is still very energetic. How about we stop here for today?”

Seeing this, Byakuya spoke up.

“Ah, really? Then let’s play again next time when we have time.”

Saitama nodded without a hint of suspicion.

He transformed from an irritable bald egg into a simple-styled nut wall.

“I didn’t expect to meet such a strong opponent today. I’ll go back and practice hard now. I’ll definitely be able to beat you in a few days!”

Saitama was instantly full of fighting spirit.

Byakuya could only respond with a smile.

Afterward, Saitama took the game disc and controller and left.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. “Oh no, I almost forgot that my TV at home is broken. Well, there’s no helping it then. Byakuya, can I borrow your TV…?”

“Of course, no problem. I don’t watch much TV, so you can use it however you like.”

Byakuya nodded.

“Great, I’ll start practicing right away!”

Saitama sat back down in front of the TV.

Just as Saitama was halfway through playing his game, a news flash suddenly appeared at the top of the TV screen.

It showed that City A had suddenly suffered widespread explosions, suspected to be a Demon-level or even Dragon-level disaster…

Seeing that City A was severely attacked, Byakuya immediately realized that this couldn’t be the Dragon-level “Vaccine Man” appearing, could it?

……………

PS: This is the fourth update for today. Is it too much to ask for a gift? Also, Saitama really can’t fly, he relies on jumping. A serious jump can be light speed (probably?). I don’t remember very clearly so my previous description wasn’t quite right. I’ve already modified the relevant descriptions from before.
