[After interrogation, you learn that you've been targeted by the House of Evolution.]
[1: Surrender and save your life. (Reward: Constitution Enhancement Agent +5)]
[2: Fight back and declare war on the House of Evolution. (Reward: Strength Enhancement Agent +5)]
[Your choice?]
Two!
Given Genus's nature, surrendering wouldn't save his life; he'd be looked down upon and humiliated. Option one was impossible. Only option two remained! Besides, with a little more development, he could stand a chance against the House of Evolution.
Kaito Ren smiled innocently, his eyes full of anticipation fixed on the Frog and Slug monsters.
"Wait! I've told you everything I know. As promised…"
Wrong!
The Frog monster froze. He realized… there hadn't been any promise.
Damn it!
The Frog monster, seeing the approaching fist, gave up struggling. He wasn't letting this monster opportunity slip away. The House of Evolution was after him, so he needed to boost his strength.

[Ding… Congratulations, host successfully defeated a Wolf-level Slug Monster. Reward: Eagle Eye.]
Huh?!
Kaito Ren was surprised to see a dark katana in his inventory. The Frog monster had dropped equipment! It was a white-grade weapon with no special effects. Kaito Ren glanced at it and then focused on the Eagle Eye.
[Eagle Eye (Beginner): Increases vision range by one hundred meters. Within one hundred meters, all objects can be clearly observed. Current proficiency 1/500.]
One hundred meters wasn't far, nor was it close. A bit underwhelming. But if it could be upgraded to intermediate or advanced, it would be a great ability. Ambushing enemies before they notice you would be advantageous.
Status Screen:
Name: Kaito Ren.
Age: 20.
Strength: 57 (Normal human max: 10)
Constitution: 50 (Normal human max: 10)
Speed: 45 (Normal human max: 10)
Fighting Skills: Basic Martial Artist, Detective's Eye, Beginner Eagle Eye
Weapon: Crab Claw Gauntlets (White), Lobster Gauntlets (White), Katana (White)
Overall Strength Assessment: Wolf-level (Lower)
Still Wolf-level Lower, but at least it was an improvement. The Frog and Slug monsters were only Wolf-level. The House of Evolution wasn't as terrifying as he'd imagined. While Asura Unicorn and Beast King would have Dragon-level Upper and Lower strengths in three years, they weren't that strong now. He had a chance.
"Here, this is a gift from your teacher."
Kaito Ren gave Saitama the Lobster Gauntlets.
"Oh?! Teacher, I… I…"
Saitama was thrilled but felt he'd already received so much from his teacher. He felt awkward receiving such a valuable gift. But… he really wanted them.
"Idiot, teachers take care of their disciples. Isn't that normal?!"
Kaito Ren rolled his eyes and tossed the gauntlets to Saitama. Saitama caught them carefully.
"Thank you, Teacher. I really like them."
Saitama bowed respectfully.
"You're welcome."
Kaito Ren nodded, internally complaining. Duh! Saitama had been eyeing his Crab Claw Gauntlets. Even a fool could see it!
Wait… something felt wrong.
They returned to the apartment. Kaito Ren took out the four frog legs. Frog leg hot pot for lunch!
"Aaah, damn it!"
Saitama, seeing the frog legs, clutched his head in distress.
"What's wrong?!"
Kaito Ren's heart skipped a beat. Had his slow-witted disciple finally realized they'd been eating monsters?
"Teacher, wait here. I need to go out! It's urgent!"
Saitama took off his apron, put on his shoes, and rushed out.
"Where are you going?"
Relieved that Saitama hadn't discovered his secret, Kaito Ren asked curiously.
"Seeing the frog legs reminded me! That Frog monster had four legs too! Enough for a feast for us, Teacher!"
Saitama dashed out, leaving Kaito Ren speechless. His disciple was even more ruthless than he thought. He wouldn't have to hide his monster meals anymore.
"Damn it! That bastard beat me to it! He took the best frog legs! If I see him again, I'll beat him up!"
Saitama returned, grumbling. Kaito Ren swallowed his explanation. If he said anything, he'd become the "bastard" Saitama was talking about. He'd tell him later.
They didn't have a big enough pot, so they chopped the massive frog legs into smaller pieces to cook. The translucent frog meat simmered in the spicy broth, looking incredibly appetizing.
"Hey! Is Kaito Ren here?! Get out here!"
As Kaito Ren and Saitama prepared to enjoy their meal, unexpected guests arrived.
