The treatment of the hungry wolf is actually not bad; at least he has an elevator to his apartment.
"Be careful."
Mia stood by, ready for anything.
Bang slowly pushed open the unlocked door, and the scene inside astonished him.
The hungry wolf has disappeared.
There was only a fat otaku lying on the sofa playing video games in front of him.
The fat guy turned around and saw Bang, then suddenly grinned.
"Teacher, you've arrived." (End of Chapter)
Chapter 222 Unlicensed Rider VS Fat Otaku Garou!
Bang could hardly believe his eyes; the slovenly fat man lying on the sofa was actually his apprentice.
The wolves' gaze toward Bang had lost all its sharpness.
After calling out "Teacher," he turned his head back to stare at the screen, ignoring the two people at the door.
"What...what are you doing?"
Bang walked unsteadily to the wolf.
"I'm playing games. I didn't realize before that games are actually quite fun. As long as you're willing to put in the time, your skills will definitely improve, and sooner or later you'll be able to beat the boss and clear the game."
“Unlike martial arts…” Hungry Wolf sneered, “No matter how much effort you put in, it’s nothing in front of a genius. It’s a waste of time to spend on such a boring thing.”
"You're a genius too! Your talent surpasses that of most people!" Bang looked at Garou in disbelief, finding it hard to believe he could hear such dejected words coming from him.
Where did that terrifying perseverance go?
"So what if I'm stronger than most?" Garou's fingers flew across the controller, his eyes numb and empty. "As long as I lose to one person, I'm still a loser. I can never surpass him."
Bangu sighed, "Martial arts itself has no limits. Everyone is constantly climbing. Don't compare yourself to others, but compare yourself to yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Garou suddenly put down the controller. Bang thought he had come to his senses and his face lit up with joy. But before he could be happy for long, he saw Garou turn over and lie on the sofa to read comics.
How come there are so many things underground!
Bang turned to look at Mosquito Girl Mia.
Mia said helplessly, "Saitama brought it. He said he felt sorry for him being locked up underground. I never expected him to become a shut-in."
Bang smiled wryly. "Does he want to turn the House of Evolution into an arcade?"
He felt a pang of heartache looking at his disciple on the sofa.
There was a time when Bang feared that his gifted disciple would become too powerful and cause immeasurable harm to the people and things around him.
Now, even the phrase "harmless" is insufficient to describe a hungry wolf.
This thing has turned into a husky...
"Come up with me."
"No, I'm perfectly fine here. I have games to play, comics to read, and I don't have to train every day. I love it here."
"Like my ass! Look at yourself now, you're like a useless piece of trash!"
"Don't you just want me to be a useless person?"
Faced with Garou's questioning, Bang suddenly froze. Ever since he learned about Garou's talent and personality, he had indeed hoped that the other party could be more ordinary, or even become a complete cripple.
The current Garou has fulfilled his original wish, but Bang feels inexplicably sad.
Might as well kill him!
Bang turned and left in disappointment, his mindset completely different before and after arriving.
Mia hesitated for a moment, but decided to leave with Bang instead of making any rash moves. Although the wolf in the room looked very dejected, her detection system had been glowing red since she first stepped into the room.
After the two left, Garou turned over again, put down the comic book in his hand, and stared blankly at the dark ceiling.
Bang returned to his room dejectedly, while Mia went straight to the laboratory to tell Chu Yang what had happened underground.
"How could a hungry wolf have become so dejected?"
In terms of mental fortitude and willpower, Garou is definitely among the top three in the One-Punch Man world. Chu Yang never expected him to be so dejected.
"Did I hit him too hard?"
Chu Yang was puzzled. He had held back enough and hadn't used his Origin Martial True Body at all. This level of strength shouldn't have caused such a deep trauma to Hungry Wolf.
"Compared to the difference in strength, the difference in martial arts skills may be the main reason for Hungry Wolf's decline in will."
Mia recalled the conversation between Garou and Bang, and sensed that the other party was very concerned about her crushing defeat in martial arts.
"I'll go check on him."
Chu Yang got up and left his seat. There was nothing more important than accelerating the evolution of Mumen Rider. He had to get Garou back on his feet.
In his eyes, the wolf's behavior was just like a child throwing a tantrum; to put it bluntly, it was because it hadn't had enough of being beaten. If he was given a little encouragement, it would immediately return to normal.
Before long, Chu Yang arrived at the bottom floor and stepped out of the elevator to see Hungry Wolf lying on the sofa pretending to be dead.
Hungry Wolf noticed that someone else was coming and said without looking up, "I already said I'm not going up, so please don't bother me. If you still want to come, then please bring some comics. I've finished reading the ones I have."
Chu Yang sneered, "If you don't want to die, stand up."
The nightmarish voice haunted Hungry Wolf's nightmares every day. He was so familiar with the voice that his instinctive reaction made him jump up from the sofa and assume a defensive stance, his nerves on edge.
The wolf's reaction was correct, because the next second Chu Yang's foot kicked his arm hard, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, smashing a large hole in the wall made of special metal.
Faced with the sudden attack, the wolf was aroused and stood up from the ruins, picking up the scattered metal pieces at his feet and throwing them away.
Chu Yang tilted his neck slightly to dodge the trajectory of the metal fragments, but the elevator behind him was hit.
The elevator was dark, and the machine fell silent, as if its energy system had been cut off by a hungry wolf.
Chu Yang said, "Now you can't even take the elevator. Let's take the stairs instead. You're used to climbing up floor by floor anyway."
The hungry wolf's eyes were empty, as if it had lost its mind and was filled with nothing but killing intent as it attacked Chu Yang recklessly.
Chu Yang used his finger as a sword and unleashed Ye Gucheng's most prized skill—Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens—his figure instantly becoming ethereal and disappearing without a trace.
Having lost its target, the hungry wolf looked around for Chu Yang.
Suddenly, a sword light flashed, and a burst of blood erupted from the wolf's chest. His body was thrown away by a terrifying force, and he used all his strength to steady himself.
Sword marks appeared all over his body, but the hungry wolf had no idea where Chu Yang was.
By the time Chu Yang stopped, he had become a blood-soaked figure.
The hungry wolf was powerless to resist. It leaned against the wall, swaying precariously, and its eyes cleared as it regained its senses.
"You've gotten even stronger..."
"Why are you improving so quickly?!"
"I've also learned more martial arts."
"This is a move I've never seen before. How did you come up with it?"
The hungry wolf looked at Chu Yang with a sense of despair, but his eyes held a hint of longing. He really wanted to know why.
"If you want to know, go up there, complete the task I give you, and then you will have the opportunity to ask a question."
After saying this, Chu Yang left.
After he left, Hungry Wolf stared at the broken elevator, torn between his inner conflict and his desire to give up and become a carefree loafer.
"the last time……"
With a determined look in his eyes, the hungry wolf walked into the stairwell and then climbed up the stairs, floor by floor.
The hungry wolf, who had finally managed to crawl back to the ground, fainted due to excessive blood loss and was taken to the infirmary by Chu Yang.
He spent the night in the infirmary, his body covered in nanomedical robots, and those horrific scars disappeared at a visible speed.
By the time the first rays of sunlight shone on him, his bare upper body had returned to its original state.
They're chubby and fair-skinned, and they look quite cute.
The rhythmic breathing outside the infirmary woke the hungry wolf from his slumber. He frowned, walked to the door, and pushed it open to find a huge sports field outside.
Someone is running...
"Huh...huh..."
The steady breathing sound came from the Mumen Rider as he ran laps around the track. Unlike usual, Bang was nowhere to be seen beside him.
The old man usually arrives at the sports field earlier than him, but today is the first time he's been absent. The unlicensed rider is a little unaccustomed to this, but he quickly puts the distracting thoughts behind him.
Why do things that are meaningless?
Garou appeared on the sidelines and questioned Mumen Rider. He vaguely remembered this man; he was weak but incredibly resilient and often did things that defied expectations.
"What doesn't make sense?"
The unlicensed rider slowed his pace and asked, completely bewildered.
