At this point, they spent too much time and developed Suiryu's character too well for them to just not use him anymore in ths story. For the past year or so, he was the most significant character in the story (outside of Saitama of course), and he gained so many fans. Also, the fact that he's asking whether he can become a hero shows that Murata knows Suiryu's popularity and he's willing to keep him as a character in my opinion. He's definitely S-class material, and other characters like himself, Bakuzan, etc. said that while he's certainly strong right now, he still has much more potential. I have a feeling that Murata is going to have Suiryu be away for a while, conquering his fears and training, and have him reappear later on (maybe later on in this arc) ready to fight. Also, at this time, he'll try out for the Hero Association as well and maybe become a S-class Hero. I also think that the manga changed directions from the Webcomic a while ago so it'll be somewhat, if not drastically, different from the plot for the manga. Meaning there will be new monsters introduced instead of the ones used in the webcomic because to be honest, I really don't see those same monsters being used for practical and other purposes.
