“Crack…Sizzle…”
Genos staggered slightly as he walked out of the huge hole in the rock wall that he had crashed through.
Fire spurted from his mechanical joints and the energy core in his chest flickered, showing that he had been through a fierce battle.
The only remaining left arm was tightly grasping a broken cockroach tentacle, and the end of the tentacle was still twitching nervously.
"Teacher! King first!" Genos' voice was full of self-blame, "I let you down... I finally let that cockroach monster run away."
At this time, Saitama was kicking a piece of gravel out of boredom.
Hearing this, he turned around, scratched his head which was still shiny even in the dim tunnel, and said nonchalantly:
"Oh, you ran away? No, no, Genos, you're gone."
He glanced at Genos's broken right arm and the damaged armor on his body, and joked, "He looks quite miserable."
Genos lowered his head, first looking at his damaged body, then at the headless body at the teacher's feet, and the remains of the insect god beside Di Wang, which no longer looked like an insect. A trace of shame flashed in his mechanical eyes:
"No! Teacher, King first! This is my fault! As your disciple, I failed to complete the mission perfectly and let the target escape. This..."
"Oh, Genos, you don't have to blame yourself."
Di Wang walked forward, with the calmness of a man who had experienced it, gently patted Genos on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Cockroaches are always cunning. They won't fight to the death like those two fools. It ran away. This is not a problem of your fighting skills, but purely the characteristics of this species. Right, Brother Saitama?"
Saitama nodded vigorously with deep feeling, with an extremely unhappy expression on his face:
"That's right! Last time, I found a cockroach stealing food in my kitchen! I even picked up my slippers, but it still slipped away! I was so mad! This kind of disgusting thing is the most annoying!"
Genos looked at King and his teacher comforting each other, and the heavy self-blame he felt suddenly dissipated a lot.
His golden pupils glowed with determination, and he clenched his left fist: "Teacher! Mr. King! I understand! Next time, I will never let any weirdo escape from my hands!"
Di Wang looked at Genos, a typical enthusiastic disciple, and suddenly felt a sense of evil interest.
"Come on, Genos, I'll teach you a declaration of war that will improve your combat effectiveness - 'Hate evil as much as you hate it, only kill and not cross, and eliminate all evil wherever you go!'"
Genos's whole body shook, as if struck by lightning! The golden mechanical eye instantly burst into an unprecedented light!
Almost as a conditioned reflex, he took out his notebook, bit the fountain pen with his mouth and began to write quickly.
"…Simple! Efficient! Full of resolute will! Go straight to the core essence of heroic actions! Eliminate all unnecessary mercy and luck!
Mr. King, the philosophy contained in these sixteen words is so insightful! This is the supreme motto for improving annihilation efficiency! I must record it immediately and integrate it into my core combat principles! "
Di Wang looked at Genos's serious expression as if he had found a treasure, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Wow! Now I also enjoy the treatment of Saitama who is frantically recorded by Genos as a "human mentor".
Is this an alternative form of “King’s teachings”?
At this moment, Saitama had already walked to the edge of the huge deep pit created when Pochi was knocked away by his punch.
He squatted down, put his hands on the awning, and looked into the bottomless darkness with his bald head, muttering:
"Wow... the dog dug a really deep hole. It's pitch black down there, and we can't see a thing... Hey, King, Genos, are we still going to jump down and explore? It sounds like it might be quite lively down there."
