- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 531
“Hey, can you share the secret of your training with me?”
Upon hearing Tatsumaki’s request, Chen Ye was a bit taken aback.
He hadn’t expected that Tatsumaki had been eyeing him this whole time just for this?
Was she really that shocked by Saitama’s power?
Did she also want to get stronger by learning Saitama’s training method?
“The way I train my disciple may not suit you,” Chen Ye replied.
“I don’t care. I need the secret!” Tatsumaki insisted, sounding as haughty as ever.
No matter what her intentions were, Chen Ye didn’t want to get tangled up with her. So, he said, “The method I use to train my disciple is simple: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
“You’re lying! There’s no way that kind of training can make someone strong!” Tatsumaki was clearly angry.
She felt like Chen Ye was messing with her.
Chen Ye just shrugged.
He had anticipated her reaction.
Honestly, if he didn’t know the plot, he wouldn’t believe that such a simple training routine could turn someone into an invincible powerhouse either…
“Believe it or not!”
With that, Chen Ye turned and walked away.
Behind him, Tatsumaki’s voice rang out, furious: “You stingy jerk, Mundo!!”
Chen Ye ignored her and made his way over to Saitama.
Saitama, who had just finished eating, noticed Tatsumaki angrily shouting at his Master and couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what’s wrong with her?”
“Nothing.”
“She’s so rude. Master, do you want me to go deal with her?” Saitama said, clenching his fist.
Fearing that Saitama might actually go and “deal” with her, Chen Ye quickly replied, “No need. Let’s just go.”
“Oh…”
Saitama relaxed his fist.
Master’s words were law!
Just as the two were about to leave the restaurant, the door opened from the outside.
The president and a few high-ranking executives walked in.
Seeing Chen Ye, the president immediately approached with a smile. “Mr. Mundo, did you enjoy the meal?”
“It was fine.”
“There’s something we’d like to consult with you about,” the president said, getting to the point.
“Oh? What is it?” Chen Ye asked.
The president extended an invitation, “Mr. Mundo, how about we discuss it in my office?”
Chen Ye didn’t mind. “Sure.”
…
The group made their way to the president’s office.
“Here’s the situation, Mr. Mundo. Regarding the evaluation of your disciple, Mr. Saitama, we’ve been having difficulty coming up with a proper plan. So we wanted to hear your thoughts…” the president explained.
Chen Ye finally understood why the president had been in such a hurry to find him.
They were passing the responsibility to him!
Smart move!
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ye said, “Given my disciple’s strength, assigning him an S-Class ranking doesn’t seem too much, right?”
“Not at all!” the president quickly agreed. “With Mr. Saitama’s power, he absolutely deserves an S-Class evaluation!”
“Good.”
Chen Ye nodded, then asked, “President, how many S-Class heroes are there currently?”
The president thought for a moment before answering, “Including yourself, there are 17 S-Class heroes at present… Oh, wait, there will be 18 after today, as we have an exceptional candidate being promoted.”
Chen Ye smiled and asked, “That exceptional candidate wouldn’t happen to be Genos, would it?”
“Huh?” The president was surprised. “Mr. Mundo, you know Genos?”
“Yes!”
Chen Ye smiled and continued, “Genos is now Saitama’s disciple. So, by hierarchy, that would make him my grand-disciple…”
Upon hearing this, the president and the other executives nearly fainted.
The Hero Association had been keeping a close eye on Genos for a while, especially after learning that he might have destroyed the House of Evolution. The association had labeled Genos as a key figure to monitor.
They hadn’t expected that someone like him would also be connected to Mr. Mundo!
“Mr. Mundo, you’re truly an excellent Master, guiding such remarkable students…” the president complimented.
Chen Ye waved off the flattery and said, “Since Genos is going to be the 18th S-Class hero, it’s only natural that Saitama, as his Master, should be ranked higher than him.”
“That’s perfectly reasonable,” the president agreed.
In his mind, the president was already prepared for Mr. Mundo to make some high demands…
Chen Ye spoke up, “Let’s rank Saitama as S-Class Rank 18, and Genos can be moved to Rank 19.”
Upon hearing this, the president and the executives were completely stunned.
They had never expected Mr. Mundo to propose such a low ranking for his own disciple.
S-Class Rank 18?
That’s practically the bottom of the rankings.
Given Saitama’s immense strength, placing him that low seemed entirely inappropriate.
“Mr. Mundo, this ranking…”
“Is there a problem?” Chen Ye asked.
“No! No!” The president quickly responded. “It’s just that I feel this ranking might be too low for Mr. Saitama.”
“Yes, that’s right!” several of the executives chimed in as well.
Chen Ye smiled and said, “I know Saitama. He doesn’t care much about rankings.”
“That may be, but with Mr. Saitama’s strength, he could easily be placed in the top three,” the president continued, trying to persuade him.
The president wasn’t sure if Chen Ye was testing him, so he remained polite and cautious.
“My disciple is someone who avoids trouble,” Chen Ye explained. “If he were placed too high, it would likely cause disputes, which he wouldn’t want. Additionally, giving him such a high rank right away might lead to others questioning the Hero Association’s decision…”
“That’s why Rank 18 is just right. It won’t offend anyone, nor will it create negative attention.”
After hearing Chen Ye’s reasoning, the president and the executives were a bit taken aback.
“Mr. Mundo, I must say, your selflessness is truly admirable,” the president said, touched. “You’re making a great sacrifice for the greater good, and I deeply respect your integrity.”
Chen Ye was indifferent to the flattery.
“I’m part of the Hero Association too, so of course, I’m thinking of its best interests,” Chen Ye replied, saying something pleasant before adding, “Also, please keep it a secret that Saitama is my disciple. I don’t want people forming opinions about him just because of me.”
“Understood, Mr. Mundo,” the president responded.
…
And so, it was decided.
Saitama became the Hero Association’s S-Class Rank 18 hero.
In the original storyline, Saitama was only a C-Class hero at this point.
Chen Ye’s presence had completely altered the plot…
Next.
Chen Ye and Saitama returned to Z-City to begin their own plans.
Among Chen Ye’s three tasks, the second one was to kill a monster.
And the stronger the monster, the higher the task’s evaluation would be!
Chen Ye had already killed the Elder Centipede.
In the world of monsters, Elder Centipede was an extremely powerful creature. If not the absolute strongest, he was certainly among the top-tier.
However, Chen Ye wasn’t satisfied.
He sought the highest task evaluation possible.
Thus, Chen Ye’s targets were narrowed down to two:
The leader of the Monster Association, “King Orochi!”
And the cosmic overlord, “Boros!”
Orochi was likely the strongest member of the Monster Association at the moment.
In the original story, Orochi was killed by Saitama with a normal punch, only to later resurrect and attempt to devour Psykos. They fused to form an even stronger entity.
However, Chen Ye didn’t have enough time to wait for that moment.
For now, Orochi was one of his backup targets.
As for his primary target—Boros—it was clear that Chen Ye’s first choice was him!!
In the storyline Chen Ye was familiar with, if Saitama, the Bald King of Power, didn’t exist, then Boros, the cosmic overlord, would undoubtedly be the strongest being.
He was the only one who could survive for a moment after being hit by Saitama’s “serious punch.”
Even after being reduced to pulp by Saitama’s continuous normal punches, Boros could still regenerate and reassemble his body.
Boros had the power to destroy Earth with a single attack!
His might was undeniable!
Unfortunately, fate wasn’t kind to him—his first battle on Earth was against the anomaly known as Saitama…
…
As Chen Ye and Saitama returned to their villa, they encountered Genos.
“Master!”
“Master!”
Genos quickly greeted them.
“Oh! It’s Genos. Did you finish your test?” Saitama asked.
“Yes, Master.”
Saitama curiously asked, “What was your evaluation?”
“Full marks!” Genos replied, then added, “But something strange happened. The Hero Association initially informed me that I’d be ranked as S-Class Rank 18, but then they contacted me again and changed it to Rank 19.”
Saitama smiled. “That’s because S-Class Rank 18 was given to me!”
“I see!” Genos said, analyzing the situation seriously. “With your strength, Master, you should indeed be ranked higher than me. In fact, you deserve an even higher ranking.”
Saitama waved his hand dismissively. “Rankings don’t matter that much.”
Still, it was clear that Saitama was quite pleased with the ranking.
Genos then said, “Congratulations, Master, on becoming a hero and fulfilling your dream.”
Saitama, clearly happy, replied, “Yes! From now on, I’ll fight monsters and be a true hero, just like you’ve taught me!”
Hearing this, Chen Ye smiled and patted Saitama on the shoulder.
…
The next morning.
Genos arrived at the villa bright and early.
“Good morning, Master!”
“Oh, Genos, good morning!” Saitama greeted him and asked, “Why are you here so early?”
Genos replied seriously, “Starting today, I want to train alongside you, Master.”
“Oh, I see! Let’s do it, then!”
“Yes, Master!”
And so, the two of them began their training.
The training regimen was still the one Chen Ye had originally taught Saitama.
100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run…
For an ordinary person, this would be an incredibly difficult routine.
But!
For Saitama and Genos at their current levels, it was a breeze.
In less than half an hour.
The two of them had completed the entire training routine.
“Master, is that all for today?” Genos asked.
“Yup!” Saitama replied with a smile. “Now that we’re done, let’s clean up the place together.”
From the kitchen, the aroma of breakfast wafted through the air.
It was the AI, Skynet, preparing breakfast.
Master Mundo was still asleep…
Saitama looked out at the bright sunlight and suddenly hoped that these peaceful days would continue forever.
…
After breakfast.
Saitama was getting ready to go shopping.
It was Tuesday, and the supermarket had a discount event—Saitama didn’t want to miss it.
Suddenly, Chen Ye called out to him.
“Wait! Saitama, come with me.”
Saitama paused, surprised. “Master, where are we going?”
Chen Ye calmly replied, “You’ve been consistent with your training for the past three years, and I’m very pleased with your progress. I’ve seen your immense strength… Today, I’ll test how much you’ve grown over these years.”
Hearing this, Genos’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Was the master going to test the Master’s strength?
Was this going to be a sparring match?
Saitama’s expression became serious. “Yes, Master!”
“Let’s go, then!” Chen Ye said. “This place isn’t suitable, so we’ll head somewhere else.”
Saitama obediently followed Chen Ye.
Genos was about to join them, but Chen Ye stopped him.
“Genos, I don’t want any spectators while I test Saitama. You stay here.”
“…”
Genos was confused and disappointed.
Watching his Master and master, two supreme powerhouses, spar would have been an incredible experience, but now he wouldn’t get the chance?
It was so frustrating!
At first, Saitama didn’t understand why Chen Ye didn’t want Genos to come along, but then it seemed to dawn on him. He looked at Chen Ye with a grateful expression before turning to Genos.
“Genos, I think Master doesn’t want me to lose face in front of you… After all, I’m your Master. If I lose too badly, I won’t have the confidence to keep teaching you!” Saitama said softly.
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, Genos gave up on the idea of watching and replied, “I understand, Master.”
As a disciple, he certainly didn’t want to embarrass Saitama.
Not far away, Chen Ye overheard Saitama’s explanation to Genos and was left speechless.
That wasn’t his intention at all!
If anyone was going to lose face, it was probably going to be him, Chen Ye, not the Bald King of Power…
Because soon.
He was planning to use some very underhanded tactics to defeat Saitama and complete his third task.
But…
Since both Saitama and Genos misunderstood the situation, Chen Ye figured it was better to leave things as they were and avoid further explanations!
