Soon, the large crab claws were devoured by the master and disciple.

Not bad, not bad.
Listening to the series of system notifications, Kaito Ren nodded in satisfaction. Those crab claws weren't wasted.

"Teacher, how can I become as strong as you?!"
Saitama, feeling revitalized after eating the crab claws, was brimming with energy. He was eager to learn from his teacher and increase his strength.
"Training requires perseverance and relentless effort. To become as strong as me, you must endure brutal training!"
"One hundred sit-ups, one hundred push-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run every day, all at maximum speed!"
"No fans in summer, no air conditioning in winter! Even if your body feels like it's breaking, you must persevere! When you can handle all of this, you'll be as strong as me!"
Kaito Ren, recalling Saitama's training regimen, recited it verbatim.
"Yes, Teacher! I will follow your instructions diligently!"
Saitama, thrilled, meticulously recorded Kaito Ren's words. He changed into loose workout clothes and began training.
[Ding… Disciple Saitama completed one hundred sit-ups. Reward: Constitution Enhancement Agent +1.]
[Ding… Disciple Saitama completed one hundred push-ups. Reward: Strength Enhancement Agent +1.]
[Ding… Disciple Saitama completed one hundred squats. Reward: Speed Enhancement Agent +1.]
Taking on a disciple has these benefits?! If he went out and took on thousands or millions of disciples…
Kaito Ren's mind raced.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Come on. If it were that easy…
Everyone would be as strong as Saitama! The monsters would be so unlucky.
Wait!
Kaito Ren looked at the clean crab claw remnants. They'd struggled to break them open earlier. If they were that hard…
He decided to act.
"System, simulate the synthesis of the two crab claws!"
[Ding… Synthesis simulation successful. Congratulations, you have obtained a pair of Crab Claw Gauntlets.]
Crab Claw Gauntlets? What are those?
Kaito Ren, curious, checked the description.
Weapon Name: Crab Claw Gauntlets
Weapon Grade: White (Weapon grades are White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red. This is the lowest grade. Weapon grade is linked to material quality. Higher-grade monster materials yield higher-grade equipment! PS: Low-quality materials have a small chance of producing higher-grade weapons.)
Strength: +5
Special Skills: None
Strength +5? The number alone didn't tell him much.
"Can you be more specific? What's the probability?"
Kaito Ren was intrigued.
[0.0000001]
…
Right. After the system's response, Kaito Ren gave up hope. He confirmed the synthesis, put on the Crab Claw Gauntlets, and swung a punch.
Bang…
The wall crumbled like paper, leaving a gaping hole.
Oh, dear…
Kaito Ren claimed innocence. He hadn't meant to do that. He'd just wanted to test the gauntlets' power, without even using much force.
This is shoddy workmanship!
But it was just a hole. Probably fine.
Kaito Ren muttered to himself.
To avoid accidentally demolishing Saitama's apartment, he sat down to watch TV. He couldn't find anything he liked.
[You're bored at home. You want to…?]
[1: Go for a walk (Reward: Strength Enhancement Agent +5, chance encounter with monsters and various unexpected events)]
[2: Stay home and sleep (Reward: Constitution Enhancement Agent +1)]
[Your choice?]
This triggers a quest?
Kaito Ren smirked.
"One!"
Not only could he get familiar with the surroundings, but he might encounter monsters and test the Crab Claw Gauntlets.
The sun shone brightly, the air was fresh. Cars flowed constantly on the streets, and various shops were open for business. He saw waitresses in cute maid costumes, bunny outfits, and other unique attire energetically soliciting customers. Many young men couldn't resist their charms.
Kaito Ren walked down the bustling street, breathing in the fresh air. Z-City was lively. It was hard to believe that a year and a half later, it would become a monster playground.
A coincidence?
Kaito Ren frowned. He remembered Saitama's training after encountering the crab monster, and the subsequent monster surge a year and a half later that forced people to evacuate. Could there be a connection?
"Help! Save me!"
"Run!"
"It's a monster! Run!"
"Monster ahead!"
As Kaito Ren pondered this, a commotion erupted in the crowd. People fled in terror. Among them, a striking young woman in a schoolgirl uniform, white stockings, and black shoes caught his eye. She was running frantically.
"Hee hee hee, pretty lady, don't run! Take off your pants and bra for me!"
A grotesque, middle-aged monster with a red bra on its head and a thong around its mouth cackled obscenely. Its fat body was surprisingly agile, drooling foul-smelling green saliva that corroded the ground. Its beady eyes greedily fixed on the terrified young woman.
