Squadron

An extra chapter included with Volume 11.

Summary
King is visiting Saitama's apartment again, showing him a new series called ZOO-MEN and explaining the plot and the message behind the show. They were discussing on the similarities of the show to the Hero Association, until Genos arrives and King asks Genos's opinion on team based heroes, which the former completely disregards that ideology and the show. Genos then hands Saitama a letter from the Hero Association.

At the Z-City's Hero Association Branch, the staff is explaining the B-Class heroes Wild Horn, Pink Hornet, Trap Tengu and Smell Master their mission to capture a wolf level monster, which is to be used for medical purposes and assigned Wild Horn as the leader. The location of the monster is in the forest between Z-City and Y-City. Wild Horn gives orders to the other heroes to catch the monster, but only entrusts Saitama with a map. Saitama offered himself to handle the monster if the plan goes out of hand, which offended Wild Horn and prompt him to demonstrate his weapon. In the forest the heroes prepare traps and notice scratch mark on the trees, while Saitama was distracted by a vending machine. This annoys Wild Horn and lectures Saitama on his lack of heroism, the heroes go ahead, Saitama notices a large hole in the vending machine and footprints. Saitama tried to warn the heroes, but they left him behind.

Meanwhile at the Z-City's Hero Association Branch, Guiches is discussing the monsters escape with a staff member, admitting the reason they want the monster alive is to sale its scales for money and not medical purpose. They immediately get a call from Metal Knight, where he revealed the cage that the monster escaped is hard enough for a Demon level monster to escape and the medication and the environment promoted the growth and viciousness of the monster. The staff member wanted to contact an S-Class hero, but Guiches reassures that there are 5 B-Class heroes and could handle the threat.

In the forest, Scaledon fell into the trap, after it was lured by the scent. The monter, tried to break free only to release another trap. Smell Master tried to use a smell to paralyze it, but was struck by the monsters attack. Scaledon breaks free and quickly devours the heroes. Saitama appeared after following the sound complaining he was left behind and demand for the monster to spit them out. The monster promptly eats Saitama as well, promoting the hero that bringing the monster alive isn't an option. He meats the eaten heroes in the stomach and punches the monster, killing it, stating they share the responsibility. Thinking to himself, he realized that fiction and reality is different and working alone is for the best.

At the lab Bofoi was planning on what to do with Guiches and decided to get him out of the picture until it settles down and bring him back. Bofoi remarked his dislike of the higher ups in the Hero Association, but admits they are predictable easily manipulated.

At home, King asks Saitama about his mission, while both playing a video game. Saitama expresses his belief about the teamwork and its shortcomings. While Saitama's video games character got poisoned, he asks King for help, only for the latter not to after what Saitama said earlier.
