The first live stream ended, affecting every planet to varying degrees.
Among them, the response from the Five Elders of the Planet Pirate was arguably the most representative.
That was to prepare escape measures in advance!
The simplest method, of course, was to build spaceships capable of space travel.
Planets possessing this technology included the Planet Pirate and the Planet Samurai where Gintoki lived.
Although after this planet was occupied by the 'Amanto', it was renamed the [Planet Amanto].
While their combat prowess wasn't great, the arrival of the Amanto gave the inhabitants of this planet a better understanding of the universe than people from other planets.
They could even take spaceships to travel to neighboring planets.
"Gin-san! Starting today, let's take on more jobs to earn money. When the Saiyans attack, we can escape in time."
Shimura Shinpachi proposed with a cowardly expression.
"Do you really think there will be a spot for us on a spaceship by then?"
Gintoki picked his nose with a look of disdain.
As the former [Shiroyasha] who had fought against the Amanto, how could he not know their nature?
If the Saiyans really attacked, do you think they'd care if you bought a ticket or not? They'd just take off!
Might as well continue lying flat, living one day at a time.
Gintoki was slacking off as usual.
…
Planet Terra, City A, Hero Association's Headquarters.
Around the round table in the main conference room, which originally had eighteen seats, fewer than ten people were now seated.
Although Prime Minister Fujiwara had quickly found the replacements he deemed most suitable, the problem was that Lott had killed too many before.
It was impossible to fill the fifteen vacant positions in a short time.
But after that incident, there were just too many matters to handle.
So, even with insufficient numbers, the meeting had to proceed.
"First, due to the... uh, unfortunate demise of the two S-Class heroes, Atomic Samurai and Drive Knight, the heroes ranked below them will advance two positions accordingly."
Suzuki Shiro forced a smile and spoke first:
"Child Emperor is promoted to S-Class Rank 4, Metal Knight to Rank 5, Demon Cyborg to Rank 6..."
The moment Shiro mentioned Genos's hero name, someone immediately asked in a tone dripping with disbelief:
"Huh? Wasn't the Demon Cyborg expelled?"
The question instantly created an awkward silence!
Everyone in the conference room, whether old council members like Prime Minister Fujiwara and Shiro, or new members temporarily called back like Senzaemon, all turned simultaneously to look at the speaker-
A man wearing an expensive white suit, with a center-parted hairstyle, a small mustache, and a somewhat sleazy demeanor.
Shinomiya Seiryu, the second son of the main Shinomiya Family, replacing Gan'an.
The nearly eighty-year-old Prime Minister Fujiwara barely resisted the urge to curse.
He suddenly wondered if he should retire, having brought such an idiot in as a new council member.
Hearing that the Shinomiya Family had another son and a daughter, the Prime Minister began considering whether it was too late to replace him.
Senzaemon raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways.
"That's not impossible. But if the Demon Cyborg or that man come asking for accountability later, we'll say it was you who expelled him. Would that be acceptable?"
"Uh, I-I was just joking, Mr. Nakiri."
Seiryu said with a dry laugh.
He had always followed his elder brother Oko's lead, thinking he could live a carefree, happy life as a supporting member of the family.
Who knew the immense fortune of becoming the family head would fall onto his head?
He just hadn't adjusted yet.
Cough!
The outwardly amiable-looking Shiro also cursed Seiryu a few times in his heart before continuing:
"Then there's the reconstruction of Shuchi'in Academy. We've entrusted this to Metal Knight. He said it can be completed in two days... Until then, let's give the students a two-day holiday."
"Also, recently, a new type of monster has appeared in City J. It's very adept at aquatic combat. We plan..."
Shiro rambled on about a lot of things.
For the most part, he avoided mentioning that name.
Because even a waste like Seiryu understood.
Against that man, they could do nothing.
…
Shuchi'in Academy covered an extremely large area.
As the top-tier prestigious school on Planet Terra, it occupied almost one-tenth of City A.
In the original work, after City A was utterly destroyed by the Dark Matter Thieves, the Hero Association estimated it would take ten years to complete the city's reconstruction plan.
But Metal Knight did it in one week.
From this perspective, taking two days to rebuild Shuchi'in Academy was actually slow for him.
Two days later, at the entrance of the newly rebuilt Shuchi'in Academy.
Students in black uniforms filed through the school gates.
Their expressions varied, but most wore long faces.
The prevailing sentiment among many was to eat, drink, and be merry.
After all, their families were wealthy, and the greatest tragedy in life was dying with money left unspent.
Since no one knew when death might come, they might as well go back and spend all their family's money first.
Classroom 2-A.
When they saw the seat by the window was empty,
Most students secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But girls like Chika, Yui, and Miku had complex expressions.
It wasn't until the class bell rang that their attention was reluctantly pulled back.
Standing at the podium, Shizuka subtly glanced at that seat, swallowed hard imperceptibly, and then, pretending to be calm as usual, began the lesson.
"Ahem... Let's prepare for class. Everyone, please turn to page..."
However, before Shizuka could finish, the classroom door slid open, and a figure that was a nightmare for the entire class, no… the entire population of Planet Terra, strolled in from the hallway.
"Overslept a bit. My apologies."
Still wearing his signature lazy, indifferent smile, meeting the mix of shock and fear in the eyes of the entire class, Lott said cheerfully:
"Why is everyone looking at me? Carry on with the class, carry on with the learning."
