History

The teacher features in a look back at Saitama's school days. Arriving to class one morning with his homework undone, the twelve-year-old Saitama was scolded and ordered to report to the staff room afterward. On the way there, however, older students bullied and robbed him, and he ended up chasing the monster Piggy Bancon to recover his stolen money. By the time he finally reached the staff room, the teacher had been kept waiting far too long and was furious, showing no sympathy for the boy's explanation.
