One Punch Man

Last Punch: By Ledo Chorz

Chapter 4: Someday

The boy in front of Saitama fell down to the floor.

With a panting voice he try to show his gratitude to his savior.

"Tha…nks m-mis…ter."

"No need to talk, just rest and try to hang on until we arrived at next station. You quiet brave are you? I like it." Saitama praising the boy.

The boy stared at Saitama. Somewhere in his heart he happy, but he too tired to say anything else. Furthermore, his injury also looks bad. He might break some of his bone during the fight. He also sense that the man with hood that standing in front of him is not an ordinary person. To finish off monster in one move, he might be a fighter or military personnel. However deep inside the boy's heart, he keep thinking that the man in front of him are the hero. Not like the hero that boasting about their strength, he is the true hero that sought nothing. Inside his eyes there the boy could feel a little resemblance with him. Both are hurt. A victim from human's greed and gluttony.

"Hey girl, could you fetch some water? After that give the water to this guy." Saitama ask the girl that the boy try to protect before.

"Y-yes! I understand." The girl reply.

"Hey brother, could you find someone that could do first aid? We need help here." Saitama ask the food seller that still shock with what happen in front of him.

"O-Okay! Wait for a bit!"

"M-mis..ter…how…how to…become stron..ger?" The boy ask Saitama in weak voice.

"Easy, listen well. 100 push-up, 100 sit-up, 100 squad, 10 kilometer running with 3 full meals every single day. Even when your body are cracking or cannot move much, never ever stop. Every single day doing this routine until you can do it without much effort. Remember, dedication and discipline are important."

"Only…that?"

"Yes, only that. Never miss your training."

"Can…I..become stronger…too?"

"If that what you want. Others can't change you, only yourself can change what you are."

"If that the case….someday…I want to become…hero." The boy said that with small smile.

"Here the water." The girl give the water to the boy.

"Than..ks….um-"

"Charlotte. That's my name. May I know your name?"

"Hajime…"

"Nice to meet you Hajime-san, umm. Thanks for saving me."

"hey miss, can you chat with him for a while until we arrive to the next station?" Saitama ask the girl.

"Yes, I can. But why?"

"For precaution, he might die if his heart beat drop to low if he's faint or slept. Or until someone expert come to help, after that you can just left him alone-"

"I will stay with him! He had saved my life. So its my duty to nurse him back."

Little that they know that, for Hajime to chat with a such beauty like her, his heart might burst out from his chest because of too excited.(AN: Rip Hajime)

"Where the injured person? Please give give some space, I'm from emergency team." Said a woman with white lab coat while rushing to Hajime side.

"Looks like my work done over here. See ya Hajime."

"Name..may I know your name sir?"

"I'm Saitama." Said Saitama while waving his hand and turn his back to Hajime.

Looking from side, Saitama walk to return to his room. While walking, he catch a glimpse outside of the train windows. The scenery outside from the window changing from green forest to the blue ocean view.

Hero huh..

Yeah…maybe someday..

He might become a hero.

Chapter 4 end. To be discontinued…(Ps: just kidding)
