Chapter 630: Starting from a B-Class Hero
"What are you looking at?"
However, what Xia Yu did not expect was that his extremely quiet voice, as soft as a mosquito's, was actually heard by the boss, and what he did not expect was that the boss actually walked towards him.
Looking at the armored boss who was striding towards him, Xia Yu couldn't help but take a half step back.
Armored man: “…”
Are you serious about taking this half step back?
Is he really that scary? He had clearly compressed his strength to the weakest point during that period, but no one else noticed it. How come I could see it?
Could it be that because they are the same person, there is a special connection between them?
But it's quite fun to watch myself being so cowardly.
The armored man smiled secretly in his heart. This funny scene couldn't be treated as nothing happened.
Take photos!

[Dark Souls III]: Hahaha, looking at the cowardly boy's appearance, it was indeed the right decision to hide his identity and sneak here. He was able to capture this kind of dark history.
[Sekiro]: Wow, you are such a bad person.
[Dark Souls III]: Nonsense, this is clearly taking care of myself when I was weak. I am issuing emergency tasks like crazy, isn't it just to make him grow up faster?
[Dark Soul 1]: There’s no need to be so righteous. Don’t we understand what you’re thinking?
[Dark Souls III]: Hey, since you all understand, doesn't that just prove that we all think the same thing? Brothers from One Punch World, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this either, but this is a public vote.
Xia Yu: "..."
This guy is so shameless that he even thinks that the law can get away with it.
Fortunately, they have unanimously decided to put the blame on this guy. No matter how he tries to argue, the blame will be firmly placed on him.
Sorry to the brothers in One Punch World, they didn’t want this to happen either, this is all Ashes’ fault.
…
One punch world.
Xia Yu looked at the armored man in front of him who was staring at him without saying a word, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
But he soon put his doubts aside. Now was the perfect opportunity to slip away. If he stayed here, who knows what problems might arise.
The system's reward has arrived, which means he has completed the emergency task. If he continues to stay here, it would be a real provocation.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu was about to sneak away with a low profile when the armored man who had not taken any action suddenly shouted.
"You can't leave!"
Xia Yu: “!”
Xia Yu paused and swallowed, not knowing whether to leave or not.
But at this moment, the people who were preparing for the hero assessment suddenly became agitated, because the receptionist came and the hero assessment was about to begin.
The assessment members who were originally gathered together to chat hurriedly lined up and stood in front of the desk moved by the staff.
Before the assessment, you need to submit the "Hero Recognition Test - Application Form" you have filled out, and then receive the corresponding number plate, so that it will be convenient for subsequent assessments.
Seeing this, the armored man hurried to line up, fearing that he would fall behind the team.
Xia Yu looked up and found that everyone around him had run to line up, even the armored man who he had provoked. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For some reason, he always felt that the armored man was not simple. If he could see his appearance, he would know the reason.
Unfortunately, the other person covered himself tightly and he couldn't see anything.
While thinking about these things, Xia Yu walked to the end of the line.
Anyway, I just have to wait in line for a while longer, which is a good opportunity to feel the telekinesis I just got. With this superpower , I can become a B-class hero for sure, if not an A-class hero directly.
Fubuki happens to be ranked first in Class B. Maybe this slightly delusional lady will come to him and personally invite him to join the "Fubuki Group".
[Xia Yu, Xia Yu, why did you provoke that person just now? ]
Suddenly, a light screen popped up in front of Xia Yu's eyes again. This time it was not the new system that released a new emergency task, but the entertainment system he already had.
The Q-version man hid at the edge of the screen, half of his head stuck out to look forward, as if he was looking at the armored man in the front row.
Looking at the old system that was as cowardly as he was, Xia Yu sighed tiredly and stretched out a finger to pull the Q-version man back to the system interface.
"Don't peek. If the other party finds out, it will cause trouble again."
[How is it possible? No one except you can see me, how could he find me? ]
The Q-version man who was pulled back to the system interface retorted with his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.
"Then why did you hide and peek just now? Why didn't you just look openly?"
【this……】
The Q-version man blinked his big red eyes twice. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little vague.
[Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about that after you interrupted me like that. ]
The Q-version man shook his head, took out a pair of black-framed glasses and put them on his face, and said excitedly.
[Xia Yu, Xia Yu! Your points have increased again, this time by tens of thousands. There must be some big shot that we can't imagine paying attention to you.]
"Has a big shot noticed me?"
After hearing what the system said, Xia Yu was slightly stunned. He was just a lousy writer, how could he be noticed by a big shot?
[Yes, but it's a bit strange. ]
The Q-version man raised his hand and waved, and the system interface immediately switched to the record of point growth. It was seen that the points were increasing by 10,000 per second, but after increasing by tens of thousands, they suddenly stopped, as if they were intercepted.
【Look, look, isn't it very strange? 】
The Q-version man climbed above the record and pointed to the stop position.
Looking at the direction where the Q-version man was pointing, Xia Yu frowned slightly. This did look a bit strange.
"Have you been discovered? So the unknown big shot simply doesn't allow you to collect attention points?"
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! ]
Upon hearing this possibility, the Q-version man crossed his hands and shook his head vigorously.
"Come on, nothing is impossible."
Xia Yu poked the Q-version man down with one finger, then closed the light curtain in front of him.
No matter whether any big shot pays attention to it or not, at least he doesn’t have the ability to explore this matter now. Instead of getting anxious, it’s better to ignore it.
When I have S-level combat power in the future, I can study it.
In the absence of God-level monsters, an S-level monster that can fight a Dragon-level monster is already considered a very powerful one.
The receptionist was quite efficient. Soon, the long line became shorter and Xia Yu came to the receptionist.
"Give."
Xia Yu handed the completed application form to the receptionist, who took it and looked through it.
As long as the general content is correct, it will generally be passed, even if it is a weird answer. After all, some heroes are weird in themselves.
People in their line of work have seen all kinds of monsters.
"Hmm? Super powers?"
The receptionist looked at the row of special skills in the form, which said possessing superpowers, and a universal superpower like telekinesis.
"That's right."
Xia Yu nodded. After gaining telekinesis, he added this ability to the application form while waiting in line. This would definitely increase his hero rating.
"Okay, here is your number plate. You can go into Area A in the venue and wait for the test."
When the receptionist handed the number tag to Xia Yu, his tone was somewhat happy. He didn't expect to meet a second person with super powers today. He was really lucky.
After all, the hero assessment test has been held for more than fifty years, but there are still very few people with super powers, and they can be counted on one hand.
Most heroes become heroes by relying on their own technological equipment or superior physical fitness, and only a very small number of people possess superpowers.
After taking the number plate, Xia Yu strode into the venue. The venue was very large and there were a lot of people inside.
In addition to the staff in blue work clothes, there are also many testers in strange costumes. It looks like a huge cosplay venue.
“It’s really a place full of talented people.”
Looking at this group of extremely poor testers, Xia Yu suddenly felt that the future of the Hero Association was worrying.
The first assessment is a written test, followed by a physical test. Since the written test has a Q-version man to help remember the test points, it is not very difficult to write.
There's not much to say about the physical test . It basically assesses the hero's physical fitness based on the standards of human athletes, such as 30-second lateral jumps, 1,500-meter long-distance runs, weightlifting and high jumps, etc.
Because he was a person with super powers, he specially tested his super powers, and in the super power area, he saw the armored man again.
Seeing the armored man using his fire ability, Xia Yu showed an expression of "as expected". He guessed correctly, the other party was indeed a person with fire power.
After most of the day's testing, the assessment results were successfully printed out and handed over to each assessment member.
"Is it still B-level? I thought it would start from A-level."
Looking at the results on the receipt, Xia Yu turned on the system screen and poked at the Q-version man lying down and resting inside.
"Look, if you work harder, I'd probably be able to start as an A-rank hero."
There is no doubt that I got full marks in the physical test, but the item that deducted points was definitely the written test.
As for his written test results, he filled in the key points of the test with the help of the Q-version man. Since he was deducted points, it means that there must be something wrong in it.
[Ouch! ! ]
The Q-version man who was being poked suddenly grabbed Xia Yu's fingers, then bit them with bared teeth in protest.
"Hiss...you're still biting me, are you a dog?"
Xia Yu shook his fingers, trying to shake off the Q-version man that was biting him, but the man was biting him tightly, and he couldn't shake it off even after shaking it twice.
Just then, the radio in the locker room suddenly sounded.
"drop--!"
"Mr. Hui Jin, Mr. Xia Yu, Mr. Extra A, Mr. Extra B, there will be a briefing for qualified candidates at 16:00. Please go to the third lecture hall."
The broadcast continued for three times before it stopped.
"Only four people passed the test. It seems the test is quite strict."
Listening to the broadcast, Xia Yu was not surprised. After all, there were more than ten thousand people taking the hero assessment in Saitama's class, but only Saitama and Genos passed the assessment.
With four people passing this time, it is considered a class full of talents.
Although the Hero Association is more like a large company, their hero assessment is still quite strict and does not allow those who are not qualified to become heroes.
Thinking of this , Xia Yu shook his fingers again: "Hey, don't let go, or I'll flick you again."
【Ni Xian Duo Qian...】
The Q version of the little person muttered that she had worked so hard to help Xia Yu memorize so many exam key points, but in the end she was still despised. She felt wronged!
"Okay, okay, I apologize. I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry."
[Hmph, I'll forgive you this time! ]
Hearing Xia Yu's apology, the Q-version man opened his mouth, put his hands on his hips and hummed.
Seeing this Q-version man, Xia Yu poked him to the ground again with one finger in a lightning-fast manner, and then instantly closed the system interface.
【Wow wow wow you bully me again!!】
"You are too young to fight me."
Xia Yu also snorted. When it comes to being a dog, any dog who sees him will say, "You are more of a dog."
…
16:00, third lecture hall.
"First of all, congratulations to the four of you for passing the test."
On the podium stood a thin man in a tight suit. His golden hair stood up like flames and he had a lightning tattoo on his left cheek.
"I'm Lightning Max, ranked 20th in A-rank. I'm a martial artist from Hyper Karate, and I'm proficient in kicking techniques. Now I'll teach you some common sense about the Hero Association."
Lightning Max pointed to the content written on the blackboard at the back while earnestly spreading common sense and sharing some of his own experiences.
"Aba Aba Aba..."
"Chiligua, duludulu..."
"Waibi waibi, waibi bab..."
"That's it. I hope you can maintain your awareness of being a hero and not tarnish this title. After all, the meaning of a hero is to dare to stand up in times of danger and use your own strength to protect the weak."
After saying that, Lightning Max distributed the manuals in his hand to everyone and strode out of the classroom.
He was only responsible for telling these qualified people how to be a qualified hero. As for other questions, they could all be found on the Hero Association's website, so he didn't need to waste his words.
After Lightning Max left, one of the four qualified candidates suddenly said, "We will be colleagues from now on. I'm Extra A. Since we're all newcomers, why don't we add each other as friends and get to know each other?"
Hearing this, the other person nodded and said, "Extra A is right. My name is Extra B. We can get to know each other in advance. Since we are both heroes, we will probably start as C-level heroes first. Adding friends means we can take care of each other."
After the two men finished talking, they looked at Xia Yu and the armored man respectively, but the armored man just shook his head and took out a grade receipt.
"I'm sorry, I started at A-rank. If I hadn't made any achievements, I would have been S-rank. You, a bunch of extras without even a name, don't need to get to know me."
After saying that, the armored man left the place in a carefree manner, leaving the three people alone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What the hell? That guy is so arrogant."
Extra B was a little indignant. Although Extra A didn't say anything, his expression showed approval. Then they both looked at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu: “…”
Tsk, he originally wanted to leave immediately, but after hearing what the armored man said, he felt embarrassed to leave.
