Previous Chapter Recap
Black Sperm and Overgrown Rover follow Saitama as he heads towards the Hero Association Headquarters in A-City. Meanwhile, inside the Headquarters, a presentation is given to the public about the new apartment complexes. Green and Crescent Eyebroll talk to each other about the money people would be willing to pay to live in a place like this, as monster encounters are becoming more frequent.
The presentation mentions that the apartments are impervious to monster attacks and only A-Class heroes or above can live here as residents while also being bodyguards. The crowd does not enjoy this fact, citing the heroes as being humans as well and can be injured. Seeing their unease, the presenter moves to a new topic, the Hero Apartment’s secret weapon.
Designed by Metal Knight and using an AI to anticipate, coordinate and execute the appropriate response, it is claimed to be a better defence than all of the A-Class heroes combined. At this moment, the alarm system of the building is activated.
Outside the Headquarters, Saitama, Overgrown Rover, and Black Sperm arrive at an entrance. The defence system, sensing the two monsters, sends out a Level 1 response.
