As Air was concerned about his voice, the doctors revealed how they surgically enhanced him due to his severe condition. This didn't sit well with Forte, who thought he was being ignored. Along with that, he started to think that Saitama was a Psychic like Tatsumaki given that he was hit from the back while he stood in front of him.

As Saitama started to get frustrated by Tatsumaki, he asked Fubuki to take her Blizzard Group outside the building as he planned on taking down Tatsumaki due to her stubbornness.
Tatsumaki could see how familiarly Saitama spoke with her sister as she asked him how he was related to her. To this, Saitama answered that Fubuki was an acquaintance to him, which visibly left her hurt.
