Chapter 8- A little Spar Round 2: Reimu vs. Genos

Reimu took her position on the field channeling her magic.
'Alright, I should be wary of him. From what I've seen...He's as powerful as some of the more god like yokai back in Gensokyo.' She thought. She pointed her purification rod like a sword towards his direction.

"Ready when you are." Reimu called. Genos nodded as he positioned himself.

"You take the first move." He called back, Reimu raised a brow but then shrugged. She raised her arms in front of her crossing her arms, and then in a flash she uncrossed them as a blue beam shot out of her palm.

Genos' eyes widened as he saw a powerful beam coming his way. He attempted to intercept as he fired a powerful blast from his arms. The two attacks collided creating a huge explosion. He looked surprised as his beam couldn't reach her.

"Oh? She can match up to Genos?" Saitama asked a little impressed at Reimu's power.

"I'm not surprised, she even took on a God and won." Sanae said remembering a certain incident relating to her shrine.

"Wait seriously?!" Saitama asked.

"She took up a lot of the most powerful beings in Gensokyo and proved victorious." Remilia said observing the fight with narrowed eyes.

"Don't underestimate her even though she doesn't look the part da ze!" Marisa exclaimed giving a playful grin. Saitama now watched the fight getting a little interested after hearing about Reimu's power.

On the battlefield Reimu had her prayer slips between her fingers as she fired them. Genos however was one step ahead of her as he used fire to burn it before they made contact. Reimu decided to kick it up a notch as she added magic to her slips, now when they made contact they would explode. Genos intercepted them, but one made contact blowing him away. He recovered quickly as he decided to go in for a physical attack, he went in with swift punches. Reimu wasn't expecting the sudden change as she changed from offensive to defensive. She created a shield out of magic blocking the hits. Genos put everything into one final punch, and it sent Reimu flying into the ground.

"I wonder why Reimu's not using her spell cards?" Remilia remarked.

"Are you kidding?! If Reimu-san used her spell cards then Genos-san would be in big trouble!" Sanae said a little panicked.

"Uh, what are spell cards?" He asked raising a brow.

"It's these cards that contain very powerful magic moves. Usually it's either offensive or defensive, but either way it's still pretty powerful. All beings in Gensokyo have some form of a spell card. And all beings in Gensokyo are protected under the rules of the spell cards." Patchouli explained, however Saitama had a strained look on his face.

"Alright then." He said not wanting to hear anymore.

Back to the battle between Reimu and Genos. Reimu was now in the air, and she had two yin-yang orbs flying with her. She took aim at Genos firing bullets of prayer slips and charms. The orbs made the attack more strenuous. Genos started to struggle a bit under the barrage. His eye changed as his sensors activated.

"There's no definite number on her magic or her bio." He said. His sensors picked up her sending several beams of energy his way as he quickly dodged.

"Are we done?" Reimu said crossing her arms. She had a neutral look on her face, but by the tone of her voice she felt done with the fight. Genos decided to try one more attack as he vanished in a flash. He reappeared behind Reimu, who did not expect the sudden move, and landed a powerful blast that overtook her. The girls looked a little worried since the blast looked so lethal.

But the smoke blew away with Reimu surrounded by a chain of charms.

"Oh she set up a barrier." Sanae said.

"Ok I can tell you were very serious, luckily I set up a barrier. But let's end this shall we." Reimu declared, she fired a round of prayer slips catching Genos off guard. However they zipped passed him and created a large explosion, large enough to destroy an entire city. Genos's eyes widened once more, along with the girls, once the explosion calmed down.

Reimu crossed her arms smirking, "Come on, you didn't think I would seriously blow you up did you?" She asked. She hovered landing gracefully on the ground.

"Reimu-san! You're impressive as ever!" Sanae exclaimed taking both of Reimu's hands into hers. All of the other girls came up to praise Reimu, although they weren't surprised since they have seen her do this before. The surprised ones were Genos and even Saitama.

"Yo! I want to take you up on that udon offer, that fight made me hungry!" Reimu called to Saitama.

"You like udon?" He asked.

"Yeah sure. Come on let's go." Reimu said striding past them. Saitama followed her, and the most of the other girls following suit.

"Genos-san? You're frozen again?" Sanae asked as she saw a dazed Genos. He shook his head looking at her with his usual glare face.

"Are all beings from Gensokyo that powerful?" He asked.

"Usually, but Reimu-san's on a whole different scale." Sanae started following the group, and Genos followed her.

"It was unlike anything I've seen before. I couldn't even pick it up with my sensors."

"That's just the power of the Hakurei shrine maiden. I also felt the same way after I fought her and she beat me." Sanae said smiling.

"You fought Reimu-san as well?" Genos asked a little surprised.

Sanae hummed, "Way back we were considered rivals. And also because of some...incident we had to battle against each other, like enemies. But of course we're all good friends now. It's nice really." Sanae said sounding a little more happy. Genos stared at her for a few seconds before faint forward. A whole new set of thoughts invading him.
---------------------------------

"Man I'm glad you guys like udon." Saitama said as they all entered the tiny restaurant. Some people stared at the girls weird appearance in both amazement and also just thinking their appearances strange, but they were just thought of as really good cosplayers. The girls didn't even pay attention to the stares.

"We can pay for our own bowls Saitama-san." Sanae said getting the stack of yen bills; However Genos intervened, "I'll pay for it." He said.

"Eh?! Are you sure?! We have 8 people." Sanae argued.

"It's fine, just a little repayment for forcing Reimu-san to fight me. And I wouldn't want you to waste money." He said.

"Sweet da ze!" Marisa cheered.

"You're not that bad cyborg." Reimu commented, glad that her meal was coming to her free.

"Thank you Genos-san!" Sanae exclaimed bowing gratefully. They group all got their bowls, and Saitama saw something that caught his interest.

"Hey Genos we should do this." Saitama said pointing to a sign. It said something about a Mega Spicy Monster Udon challenge, and also mentioning something about a cash prize for the winner.

"A challenge?" Youmu read it over tilting her head.

"Of course Sensei." Genos obeyed. They called over the owner letting him know, and he bought two large buckets filled with spicy udon.

"Whoa da ze." Marisa commented.

Reimu leaned over to Sanae, "I got money on the cyborg." She whispered making her giggle.
"Same here." She whispered back.
------------------------------

"I give up." Saitama's head plopped onto the table in defeat while smoke came out of his mouth. On the other hand Genos finished the entire thing without faltering.

"Is that it?" He called to a shocked looking owner. Some of the girls looked shocked themselves.

"Huh..." Reimu breathed out.

"Man you're awesome!" Saitama exclaimed.

"A machine like you can eat?" Alice asked.

"This was included in my design by Dr. Kuseno. He made me more...human per say." Genos explained.

Sanae's eyes were shining again, "Genos-san is truly amazing!" She praised.

Then a chime was heard as the door opened, followed by the squeal of a girl.
"Oh my gosh! It's Amai Mask!" The entire group turned to see the blue haired A class hero walking in with an air of cool confidence. He walked up to the table eyeing the entire group, and locking his gaze with one person.

"You are Genos-kun correct?" He asked.

"Yes, who might you be?" Genos asked glaring.

"I'm A class rank 1 hero Amai Mask, might I see you for a little discussion outside?" He asked with his suave manner. He noticed Sanae in the corner of his eye and his mood lightened.

"Sanae-chan, what a surprise to see you here." He said smoothly.

"O-Oh hello Amai Mask-san." Sanae greeted nervously, she became even more nervous with the stares she was receiving.

"You know him?" Reimu and Saitama asked almost sounding disbelieving.

"Well...we met at the Association. I only asked him for directions." Sanae responded sweat dropping.

"I was hoping to get to know you more." Amai Mask said winking at her, she only replied with a nervous chuckle.

"That won't be necessary let's go." Genos replied abruptly and was already near the door. Amai Mask blinked but then shrugged giving a flirty smirk to Sanae before he left.

"Something about that guy rubs me off the wrong way da ze." Marisa said scowling at the door.

"You're not the only one who feels that way." Reimu said staring at the door.

"C-Come on guys it's probably nothing." Sanae stuttered.
----------------------------------

After a few minutes of waiting Genos finally popped through the door.

"Man that was fast, how'd you handle that newbie crushing?" Saitama asked.

"Actually that wasn't what he wanted me for Sensei. He wanted to...welcome me." Genos said; he even sounded a little unsure himself. Each of the girls glanced at each other still a little uneasy about the Amai Mask guy.

"Um excuse me." A girl came up to Genos nervously.

"You're friends with Amai Mask-san right? Can I...shake your hand?" She asked practically almost fangirling. Genos thought nothing of it and shook her hand anyway. Meanwhile Saitama was sitting there staring at them, Reimu noticed.

"Why so jealous?" She asked. A man with no emotion was hard to read but for some reason she could tell how jealous he felt.

"No reason..." He said simply, she just shrugged but she knew something was off. She didn't want to pry though.
--------------------------------------

"I think we found where that activity was coming from." An official said.

A bunch of computers popped up and everyone just stared confused.

"Was there always a shrine there?" Asked S class hero Zombieman. He including several other S classes were gathered around, mostly because head official Shicchi wouldn't shut up about this so called "Strange Activity."

"Who would know what's in that part of Z city anyway?" Tatsumaki asked annoyed. She then glared at all the works crossing her arms.

"You all continue to keep an eye out for this! And don't call unless it's something gravely important!"

The men and women obeyed her orders as the shrine was still displayed on the screen. There's another mystery in City Z left to solve.
