Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 586: You said there’s no more of that thing...

"Teacher Fang Mo... What on earth is going on?"

In the villa's living room, Mumen Rider looked on in shock at the naked young man before him.

Indeed, just moments ago, after Sonic reluctantly agreed to become a disciple, Fang Mo cheerfully pulled him into a mysterious room within the villa.

And when Fang Mo emerged...

He was followed by a naked young man...

Honestly, it wasn't just Mumen Rider who was shocked; even Shoggoth, who was helping to wipe the tables, scratched its head with a small tentacle, though it didn't even have a head.

As for Ah Xue...

She was currently in the kitchen washing dishes, and had seen nothing.

"Speaking of which, my dear disciple..."

Fang Mo certainly realized that Sonic's state was somewhat indecent. He glanced at Sonic, who had reverted to human form, and gently reminded him, "Although we are ninjas, we are not 'Against Demons Ninja', right? So could you please put on some clothes first?"

"Clothes?"

Indeed, Sonic's current sitting posture was quite eye-catching. He crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa looking at Fang Mo: "What clothes?"

"If you don't want to wear clothes, at least get some binding-cursed underpants first..."

"Oh, you mean clothes."

Hearing this, Sonic finally realized what was being said and casually remarked, "Sorry, I've been a hedgehog monster for too long and forgot what it feels like to wear clothes."

"Well... But speaking of which."

Halfway through the conversation, Sonic paused for a moment: "My ninja clothes aren't here either. It's quite troublesome to fetch them naked, so I might as well just wear your clothes for now."

"Ah?"

Hearing Sonic's idea, Fang Mo unconsciously touched his head: "The problem is, I don't have any clothes either." f𝐫e𝚎we𝚋n𝐨𝘃el.𝗰𝗼𝐦

"What do you mean?"

Sonic frowned and looked at Fang Mo: "I've already become your disciple, is it that hard to prepare a set of clothes for me? And I don't even need new ones, just lend me some of the ones you've worn."

"No... You don't understand, I really don't have clothes you could wear."

Fang Mo rubbed his face in frustration: "But there are still plenty of women's clothing left here, all Terra style uniforms prepared for the operators before. You can take any of them, they just might be a bit snug."

"So?"

Sonic couldn't help but retort: "Don't tell me you only have this one set of clothes on you."

"I..."

Fang Mo looked at Sonic, seemingly wanting to explain something, but he soon sighed: "Never mind, see for yourself."

As Sonic watched in confusion, Fang Mo's clothes transformed from flip-flops and tank tops into a purple suit, and finally into a white lab coat of a chief psychiatrist.

"This... is amazing!"

Mumen Rider witnessed this scene, his eyes widening.

"Is this..."

Seeing Fang Mo's changing attire, Sonic was clearly surprised, but his adaptability was much stronger than Mumen Rider's: "Is this also part of magic?"

"Pretty much."

Fang Mo's clothes changed again, this time into Bleach Gotei 13 Captains robe, as he smiled at Sonic: "When did you get the illusion... that I was actually wearing clothes?"

"..."

Sonic was at a loss for words.

However, he was quite adept with his hands. After a moment of thought, he quickly stood up and walked to a nearby guest room, and soon after, a ripping sound was heard.

And then...

Sonic emerged with a white cloth wrapped around his waist.

This white cloth was clearly a bedsheet, now wrapped around his waist and draped over his left shoulder, vaguely resembling the attire of ancient Greek gods.

"Is this okay?"

As Sonic spoke, he also sat back down on the sofa.

"Oh, that works."

Seeing this, Fang Mo nodded, then motioned to Mumen Rider to sit on the sofa as well: "Come, my second disciple, sit down. Make yourself at home here, don't be so formal."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Mumen Rider was still very polite, thanking Fang Mo before sitting down.

"Now, let's talk about you."

After settling down, Fang Mo also glanced at Sonic: "I heard you were caught by the Hero Association? I was thinking about asking Metal Knight to ransom you... how did you escape on your own?"

"That stupid metal cage thought it could hold me?"

Sonic scoffed: "If I wanted, I could escape anytime, anywhere."

"So why did you come out just now?"

Fang Mo asked.

"He...," Sonic's eyes shifted, "That base was quite complex, I... Oh right! I got lost! It's definitely not because I couldn't beat those automated guards!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Fang Mo didn't expose him, just cheerfully nodded his head.

But it seems that Doctor Bofoi's technology is still quite impressive, after all, the blue hedgehog version of Sonic did put up a dragon-level performance, yet he was confined for so long.

"Okay, I've finished talking about my side."

Sonic shook his head, somewhat unwilling to discuss his captivity as it was rather embarrassing, and quickly changed the subject, gesturing towards Fang Mo: "Hurry up and bring it."

"Bring what?"

Fang Mo was momentarily stunned: "Bring what?"

"That apple." Sonic stated matter-of-factly: "I saw it just now, that guy..."

"Call him Second Senior Brother."

Fang Mo reminded.

"Why should..."

"What, do you want to turn back into a hedgehog?"

Before Sonic could finish speaking, Fang Mo raised an eyebrow, showing that Sonic was indeed a bit unruly and needed frequent guidance.

"Hmph."

Sonic grudgingly muttered, then unwillingly said: "You just gave... Second Senior Brother that thing, right? That golden thing that looks like an apple, I saw it, he became stronger after eating it."

"So?"

Fang Mo looked at Sonic and asked.

"Of course, give it to me." Sonic asserted confidently: "I'm now your disciple too, right? So hurry up and give me that thing, I want to become stronger too."

"Oh, you mean the golden apple?"

Hearing this, the corners of Fang Mo's mouth also slightly raised: "You want to eat that?"

"Yes, give it to me."

Sonic arrogantly lifted his head and said: "Once I eat that thing, you'll see who between him and I is more powerful..."

"I'm sorry, but there are no more golden apples."

However, before Sonic could finish his statement, Fang Mo interrupted him: "Mumen Rider ate the last one."

"What!?"

This statement stunned both Mumen Rider and Sonic at the same time.

Mumen Rider felt that such a precious item was too valuable, and it was the last one. His teacher had given such a rare thing to him, making him feel both touched and guilty.

But Sonic felt differently.

He was practically murderous now.

"Why?"

Sonic gritted his teeth and demanded: "This is clearly preferential treatment, right? I'm much stronger than him... why didn't you give that thing to me? Are you just trying to make me look foolish?"

"Who told you not to agree to be my disciple right away?"

Fang Mo spread his hands: "The golden apple tree was originally a divine gift from the Earth Goddess Gaia to Hera. The golden apples bloom once every three thousand years, bear fruit once every three thousand years, and mature once every three thousand years... It was not easy for me to get one, and I was planning to give it to a disciple, and originally I did choose you, but you refused me, remember?"

"But I did accept you as my teacher."

Sonic couldn't help but say.

"You were too late." Fang Mo shrugged: "My first choice was indeed you, but who told you not to accept me?"

"I..."

Hearing this, Sonic was really at a loss, even beginning to doubt whether he was really wrong. However, this thought only flickered for a moment before he denied it and immediately looked up and said: "It was because your attitude when accepting disciples was too frivolous, I thought you were just joking with me!"

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry."

Seeing Sonic's attitude, Fang Mo couldn't help but laugh: "Although the golden apple is gone, I still have plenty of items that can make you stronger here... Whether you want a super powerful ninja sword, shuriken, or heavenly treasures that can enhance your strength, or even a complete set of forbidden ninja techniques, almost anything you can think of, I have it here."

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Sonic's eyes lit up immediately: "Then hurry up and bring them out for me."

"Isn't that, what kind of attitude is that?"

However, Fang Mo suddenly turned serious and said: "Are you here to be my disciple or to be my ancestor? Is this how a disciple talks to his master?"

"... Then what do you want?"

Sonic was scolded and felt somewhat dejected.

"For starters, do some housework." Fang Mo's stern face suddenly broke into a smile: "I'll decide what to teach you based on your performance."

"You guy..."

Hearing that Fang Mo dared to make him do housework, Sonic immediately became angry again, he really wanted to draw his sword and cut the man before him, but truth be told, he really couldn't beat him... So after sitting on the sofa trembling for a while, Sonic suddenly pointed to Mumen Rider next to him.

"What about him?"

Sonic asked with dissatisfaction: "We are both your disciples, why do I have to do housework?"

"I... I can too!"

However, before Fang Mo could speak, Mumen Rider immediately said: "Teacher Fang Mo, please let me do the housework for you too!"

"See, your second senior brother is also doing housework."

Fang Mo spread his hands and said.

"Damn... Why do I have to play this house-playing game with you guys!" Even hearing that Mumen Rider was doing housework, Sonic was still very unhappy, because doing housework was just too silly, it really wasn't what ninjas should be doing, right?

His usual tasks were things like assassinating tycoons or protecting officials, and now this guy dared to make him do housework?

However, just then.

Fang Mo suddenly seemed thoughtful and started speaking.

"Well, how about this... If someone does a lot of good housework, then as a teacher I will reward him with a powerful weapon that I personally crafted, you can make any request for the weapon."

"Damn! Damn, damn!!!"

Sonic felt he had never been so humiliated, but his body couldn't help but look around.

He quickly noticed a broom nearby, so he grumbled as he walked over and grabbed the broom, then very unhappily glared at Fang Mo: "... Can I start by sweeping the floor?"

"I'll wipe the dust!"

Mumen Rider was unexpectedly simple and enthusiastic, immediately shouting as well.

"Don't get too cocky." However, Sonic looked at Mumen Rider with dissatisfaction: "Even if it's just housework... I, Sonic, definitely won't lose to you!"

"Mmm mmm mmm, very good, very good."

Seeing the two's competition in housework, Fang Mo was actually quite pleased and smiled.

"By the way, let me introduce you." Thinking of this, Fang Mo also turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen: "Ah Xue, come here."

"What is it, Master?"

Hearing Fang Mo's call, Ah Xue, who had just finished washing the dishes, also walked out of the kitchen.

"Let me introduce, this is my family member, also a perfect and dashing servant, Izayoi... Fang Xue."

Fang Mo coughed slightly, then continued: "Anyway, this housework competition, let's tentatively set it for seven days, I'm your master, to avoid bias I won't be the judge, she will judge your housework performance."

"Ms. Fang Xue, I am Teacher Fang Mo's disciple, Mumen Rider."

Mumen Rider heard this and immediately bowed deeply: "I'll be in your care for the next while."

"Mmm, no problem."

Ah Xue smiled politely in response, then turned her head to glance at Sonic, seemingly waiting for Sonic's introduction.

However, upon seeing this scene.

Sonic suddenly smirked confidently.

"Heh..."

Suddenly, Sonic clenched the broom in one hand, then his body sank slightly: "Secret Technique, Four Shadows Burial!"

After shouting this, his body suddenly blurred for a moment, then split into four flickering afterimages, beginning to clean four different areas simultaneously.

"How about that, are you scared by this speed?"

While cleaning, Sonic also provocatively looked at the not-too-distant Mumen Rider: "With your slow speed, even in housework you're definitely no match for me!"

"..."

Mumen Rider didn't know what to say at this point.

"Hey, how about it?" Seeing Mumen Rider dumbfounded, Sonic also felt somewhat smug and turned his head to look at Ah Xue, proudly saying: "You... must be the Master's wife, right? How's my housework?"

"Zero points."

Ah Xue glanced at him and immediately gave her verdict.

"What?"

Sonic immediately stopped, asking incredulously: "...Why!?"

"Your movement speed is too fast."

Ah Xue sighed and said: "Have you ever seen anyone who runs while sweeping the floor? The dust is being thrown everywhere, and even if you keep sweeping like this all day, you won't be able to clean the dust on the floor."

"I'm the world's strongest ninja..."

Sonic gritted his teeth.

"So?" Ah Xue chuckled and tilted her head slightly: "Can the world's strongest ninja not even handle dust?"

"Damn dust!"

Hearing this, Sonic also squeezed the broom in his hand tightly: "I'll kill it..."

However, just at this moment.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang again.

"Who's coming again?" Fang Mo heard the doorbell and stood up, somewhat puzzled, while also subconsciously glancing at the mini-map above the door, only to see a chibi avatar he had never seen before, somewhat resembling a mob character.

Curiously.

Fang Mo walked toward the door.

Upon opening the door, there stood a young man he didn't recognize, dressed in a strange white training uniform, somewhat resembling a martial artist.

"Is this the home of the Source Of All Evil?" the other party asked directly.

"No, get lost!"

Fang Mo heard this and immediately slammed the door shut, because from the moment the other party uttered this taboo name, his identity no longer mattered. Even if a god from this world came, they would have to obediently get lost.

"What's up, Master?"

Ah Xue heard the slamming of the door and curiously turned her head to look at Fang Mo: "Who came?"

"Some brainless guy."

Fang Mo casually waved his hand and then sat back down on the sofa.

Shoggoth, who had just finished wiping the table, also sensed Fang Mo's displeasure and directly bounced on the floor twice, chirping as it jumped into his arms, extending a small tentacle trying to calm its master.

Seeing this, Fang Mo also casually grabbed Shoggoth, squeezing it into various shapes.

This little guy was like a ball of stress-relieving slime, combined with its cute chirping, Fang Mo squeezed it a couple of times, and unexpectedly, he wasn't that angry anymore.

And just then.

The doorbell rang again.

"Go open the door, Shoggoth." Fang Mo heard this and directly pointed towards the door: "If you hear the words 'source of all evil', just swallow him whole."

"Chirp!"

Shoggoth chirped in response, then bounced towards the door.

As it extended a small tentacle to pull the door open, the young man from before quickly reappeared in front of everyone.

"Um, sorry about that."

However, this time the other party's attitude was much better, as he awkwardly scratched his head: "My master had previously reminded me that you don't like the name 'Source Of All Evil', but I accidentally forgot..."

However, before he could finish speaking.

Shoggoth suddenly swelled up, like a bubble gum being blown up, and wrapped itself around him.

"...Nani?"

The young man just stood there, stunned.

Fortunately, at that moment, Ah Xue suddenly pulled Shoggoth back: "Lily, stop."

And upon hearing Ah Xue's voice, Shoggoth unexpectedly calmed down, shrinking back into a small ball, but it still bounced on the floor like it was protesting, chirping continuously, and pointed a small tentacle at Fang Mo and then at the young man in front of it.

"Master didn't mean that."

Ah Xue bent down to remind Shoggoth, then turned her smile back to the man in front, politely saying: "Hello, I am Mr. Fang Mo's maid, may I ask what you need from the master?"

"Uh, it's like this."

The other party quickly responded: "I am Charanko, a disciple of Teacher Bang. This time, my teacher would like to invite... Mr. Fang Mo to his Flowing Rock Crumbling Fist dojo as a guest."

"Oh, is that what this is about?"

Fang Mo's hearing was quite good. Although he was in the living room, he still heard the conversation at the entrance.

Wasn't this the time when Fang Mo shattered the meteor threatening Z City with a single punch? Actually, Fang Mo wasn't sure if Bang could have survived under the meteor, but it seemed he was ready to die then, so it was as if he had indirectly saved his life.

Plus, now Bang's dojo no longer had many disciples, so he had developed a fondness for talent and planned to pass on the Flowing Rock Crumbling Fist to himself...

In the original story, Bang had invited Saitama.

After all, it was Saitama who resolved the meteor with one punch, but here the story had changed, so the person Bang nvited was Fang Mo.

Only unlike Saitama.

Fang Mo really wasn't quite up for moving now.

After all, there wasn't much about old man Bang that was... well, worth doing anything, and he'd rather keep an eye on Sonic and Mumen Rider here.

"Never mind, I won't go."

After thinking it over, Fang Mo slowly stood up from the sofa.

He casually reached under the coffee table for a gift box filled with tea leaves, then took out the tea leaves, and stuffed a golden apple back into the box, carrying the box to the door.

"Take this back to your master."

After reaching the door, Fang Mo handed the box to Charanko: "Tell him, next time we meet I'll invite him to drink flower wine, visit brothels and listen to songs..."

"Cough cough cough!"

Charanko immediately coughed twice upon hearing this: "My master... my master is a respectable person!"

"You're just a messenger, why so nosy?" Fang Mo rolled his eyes: "Just take the stuff and go."

"Oh, okay."

Charanko was somewhat afraid of Fang Mo, and at this moment, he also shrank his neck:

"Then I'll take my leave."

After saying this, Charanko quickly ran off, perhaps scared a bit by Shoggoth just now, because he ran quite fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

And after Charanko left.

Fang Mo also closed the door and walked back to the living room.

Only to find, upon his return to the living room, that Sonic was looking at him with a strange expression, and even Mumen Rider's face seemed a bit weird, as if they were hesitant to speak.

"What are you looking at, do I have cotton on my face?"

Fang Mo asked, a bit baffled.

"That thing you just... put in the box." Sonic was staring intently at Fang Mo as he spoke.

"You said there was no more of that thing, didn't you?"
