ALL NOVEL Chapter 45 – New Power
Silver Fang(Bang)'s Dojo
3rd POV
"So this is... the legendary..." A girl with sparkling eyes glanced left and right, unable to contain her amazement. The old man in his late age couldn't help but giggle, observing the girl fangirling over his dojo. His name is Silver Fang, the owner of the dojo.
"Feel free to sit anywhere while I'm preparing the stuff. Charanko!" The old man screamed, calling his disciple.
"Yes, master!" The old man's disciple, Charanko, immediately began preparing all the stuff. The items included several thick stones that couldn't be easily broken. Charanko slowly piled up all the stones, making it high enough to match the old man's shoulder.
"Hey, old man, you don't lie when you say you're going to give us some meat, right?" A bald man spoke, sitting leisurely.
The old man giggled at the bald man's question and replied, "Of course, it's not a lie. More importantly, look at this." The old man placed each of his hands on the top of the piled-up stones—one on his left and one on his right. He then moved both hands at an incredible speed, and suddenly, all the stones sliced up in a clean stroke. The old man let out a smirk after seeing his work.
"Omagaaa! You're so amazing, Silver Fang-Sama! May I have your autograph?" The girl spoke with sparkling eyes, already prepared with paper and a pen. Not only the girl, but the old man's disciple, Charanko, also gasped at the work of his master. Seeing all of this, the bald man, Saitama, glanced at the remaining thick stones that hadn't been piled up. He immediately threw a small punch that made all the stones break into pieces.
*clang*
"I see. So can I have the meat already?" Saitama asked with an uninterested face.
"Booooo... You're no fun, Saitama." The girl spoke, mocking the bald man.
"Do you want to end up like these stones, huh?! Rena." Saitama spoke with an irritating face.
"There there, I know just this much won't pique your interest to join this dojo. So what about-" While the old man and Saitama had their conversation, the girl, Rena, saw something at the corner of the dojo. She then started walking towards it. It turned out to be a scroll. She then ducked down and slowly picked up the scroll.
"Exploding Heart Release Fist..." Rena spoke in a low tone as she read the title of the scroll. She then started opening the scroll. While reading the scroll, Rena's eyes suddenly glowed in a golden color. A few minutes passed. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her shoulder from behind. The owner of the hand immediately spoke,
"You shouldn't read that, girl... May I have the scroll?" It was the old man's voice. He spoke, smiling, while stretching his hand as he asked for the scroll.
"Ah, Silver Fang-Sama. I apologize for reading it without your permission." The girl immediately closed the scroll and handed it to the old man.
"No worries. It was also careless of me. Anyway, what did you learn?" The old man asked, still not dropping his smile. Rena fell silent for a moment. After few seconds of silent, she then started opening her mouth and spoke,
"Everything..." Rena's words surprised the old man. He then stopped smiling and slowly walked away. The old man's sudden action made Rena dumbfounded. Deep down, Rena felt guilty because she had read something without asking for the owner's permission. After reaching the center of the dojo, the old man stopped his walk and turned back again to Rena. He then started speaking while making a hand gesture,
"Two minutes. If you can hurt me using the technique you just read, I will give you the meat."
"Eh?" Rena was immediately dumbfounded by the old man's words. Suddenly, Saitama spoke up, "Oh really?! Go for it, Rena! I'm rooting for you!"
"EHHH!!!" Rena screamed, not believing she was going to fight the famous Hero, Silver Fang.
"Go, go Rena! You can do it!" While Saitama was rooting for Rena, Genos just ducked behind Saitama, collecting his missing hairpieces that Silver Fang had taken in their previous game.
Sighing in defeat, Rena also started walking to the center of the dojo. After reaching it, she glanced at the old man who began making a serious stance. Sighing again, she also made a stance. Her stance consisted of her stretching her hands in the opposite direction of her body while slightly ducked down. Seeing her stance made the old man's eyes widen. Her arms appeared to leave afterimages, exactly like what he had in his youth. Right now, in the old man's eyes, it was like he was facing himself in his youth. Charanko stood on the side and started to act as the referee of the small match.
"Ready?" Charanko spoke, stretching his hand in the middle of both fighters. He immediately raised his hand as he spoke, "Start!" As soon as he spoke those words, an explosion happened.
*BOOM!*
Leaving only dust at the center of the dojo. A few seconds later, the dust dispersed, revealing the figure of a slightly bleeding old man and a girl with a cloud of smoke leaving her mouth as she breathed out. This scene made all the spectators dumbfounded, though there was one person who didn't.
"Wouhou! You did it, Rena! Now, where's the meat, old man?" It was Saitama. No voice could be heard after. A few seconds later, the old man broke the silence.
"Charanko!"
Snapping from his daze, Charanko immediately replied, "Y-YES?!"
"Get the meat," The old man spoke.
"YES!" Charanko replied, immediately running away to get the meat. After Charanko's figure disappeared from the scene, the old man slowly faced the girl.
"You perfectly mastered my Exploding Heart Release Fist in a mere few minutes of reading. Who are you really? Resisisilver Fang..." The old man spoke with a serious face.
