A foreigner's journey

"What's the origin of this Heather?"

In the academic office, several high-level officials of the Heroes Association were discussing matters regarding Heather.

"34 years old, currently living in J City, a coastal city. Hehe, to put it mildly, he is a martial artist, but to put it bluntly, he is a vagrant."

A beautiful OL with a wheat complexion threw the report sheet in her hand on the table:

"His name is unknown. I even suspect that his results in the physical test were falsified. Today, a 'Superman' suddenly appeared from the public with a physical test score of 49 points. Who would believe it?"

"That's a question for your review committee. What we want to discuss is about [Heather]'s hero title and garrison in the city." The white-haired old man with a big belly sat on the swivel chair and spoke calmly.

The middle-aged man in a neat suit hesitated: "B-level 15, is that too high a level?"

"The level can be raised or lowered. Since he has obtained such a high rank, he has to deal with the troublesome B-level guy by himself." The brown-skinned OL shook his head.

Of course there are factions among the heroes. The ‘Vest Legion’ spans four levels, the ‘Fubuki Group’ occupies most of the B-level positions, the ‘Atomic Samurai Faction’ firmly controls the high-end combat power position of the Hero Association, etc.

There are heroes who have good relations with each other and even form small gangs. Naturally, there are also cases where the relations are very bad and they are framed or viciously fought in private.

It can be said that although the Heroes Association claims to be a group based on the principles of justice, charity and non-profit, it can actually be regarded as a microcosm of society.

In fact, the Heroes Association is a huge organization with responsibilities like a government, a structure like a mercenary group, and operations like the Red Cross.

Some new heroes who secretly cheated and had a high status from the beginning were exposed and lost their lives in a certain monster retreat or private fight. This kind of thing happened several times.

"In my opinion, first observe the performance of Mr. Heather, who is ranked 15th in B-level. The observation period will be... one month. We will make a decision after one month. At that time, he will apply to the Hero Association cadre meeting to discuss his reclassification and The title of hero.”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Then, which city should he be stationed in? Or should we continue to let him stay in his original place of residence?" The middle-aged man in a straight suit asked another question.

"I'm not an S-class or A-class hero, and I can't even talk about garrisoning the city, so I'll just stay in J City."

A few words of conversation can decide the stay and future of a new hero.

………………

J City is located in the coastal area in the northeast of the entire supercontinent.

The climate here is mild and pleasant all year round and belongs to the tropical maritime climate. Coupled with the unique coastal scenery, J City has become the best beach resort in the world.

Even the Hero Association branch in J City is unique. The reception staff of the association no longer wear uniform suits and leather shoes, but instead wear colorful vacation shirts and beach skirts.

Every three months, a bonfire party is held at the J branch of the Heroes Association, and heroes stationed in J city and surrounding cities are invited to come and have fun with the citizens.

"...So, you are the newly promoted B-class hero Mr. Heather, right? Welcome to the J Division. From now on, we will fully cooperate with you to protect the people and the city."

In the lobby of the J branch, a burly, dark-skinned, golden-haired man who looked like a muscular man like Rifan was shaking hands with Heather, with a warm smile on his face.

This person's name is Grady, he is the head of the J branch and a senior cadre of the Heroes Association.

Perhaps in order to implement the "coastal people-friendly style" of the J Division, Grady, the head of the J Division, also wore a floral shirt and beach shorts, but little did he know that this made his image even more inappropriate in Heather's eyes.

Brother, if you were from a different world background, I would kill you on the spot just for your honor.

"You're welcome. I'm actually from J City. I have a small martial arts studio in the suburbs, although there aren't many apprentices coming."

Heather smiled and shook Grady's hand.

Grady laughed heartily: "You are too humble. I believe that with your strength, you will be able to make a name for yourself soon. Maybe your style will become the next 'Liu Shui Yan Shattering Fist' in a while."

The Flowing Rock Shattering Fist he was talking about was a boxing style created by the S-class hero ‘Silver Fang’ Bangu. Long before the founding of the Heroes Association, Banggu was known as the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world. The Liusuiyan Shattering Fist he created attracted countless young heroes to study under him.

Although the self-proclaimed "Shingenryu" Heather was wearing shabbily in front of him, Grady saw that he had a majestic and unrestrained demeanor, and it seemed that he had some abilities that were worthy of him.

Even if you don't know the details of this newly promoted B-level 15th hero, you can never go wrong by establishing a good relationship with him in advance. If a weirdo is really going to appear, people will still be able to come to support in time considering their kindness.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Grady took Heather to visit the J branch and introduced as he walked:

"Then let me briefly introduce to Mr. Heather the obligations you usually need to fulfill and the resources available to you.

Like the headquarters, Branch J is divided into three pillars: the Disaster Countermeasures Department, the Land Zoning and Preparation Department, and the Publicity Department. Among them, the department directly related to you is the 'Disaster Countermeasures Department', and occasionally there will be a 'Propaganda Department' to communicate with you. So please be sure to carry this British Association special contact device. "

As he spoke, he handed over a small black flip phone with the Hero Association's logo printed on the phone's case.

"This is a special mobile phone specially made by the S-class hero Metal Knight for the heroes of the Hero Association. Even if you carry it to fight tiger-level or even ghost-level monsters, it will not be easily damaged. Of course, it is also waterproof, high-temperature, corrosion-resistant, and has constant satellite positioning. Yes. If the contactor is damaged, please go to the nearest Hero Association branch or headquarters immediately to get a new contactor. Don’t worry, this is all provided to you for free."

Heather turned on her phone and found that the phone number was the contact number she provided, and some numbers were pre-stored in the address book, such as 'J Division Controller', 'J Division Head', etc.

"Normally we don't require you to stay in J Branch. In fact, you can move around freely.

When a monster appears within the control of Division J or other branches, the Disaster Countermeasures Department will immediately assess the destructive power and disaster level of the monster, and then we will decide who to dispatch to deal with the monster based on the location and ranking of the nearest hero. Disaster events.

I believe you should know that just like the levels of heroes are divided into SABCs, monsters are also divided into five levels.

Wolf level, the weakest level, will cause danger to humans, and its strength is equivalent to 3 C-level heroes or 1 B-level hero.

Tiger level, a crisis level that may cause casualties, has a strength equivalent to 5 B-level heroes or 1 A-level hero.

Ghost level is a crisis that may lead to the paralysis or even destruction of a town's functions. Its strength is equivalent to 10 A-level heroes or 1 S-level hero.

Dragon level is a crisis level that may lead to the destruction of several cities. Dragon level monsters have rarely appeared in the past two years, and are usually dealt with by the top S-level heroes.

As for the god level, this is only a theoretical possibility and has never appeared. In fact, if a god-level monster really appears, then humanity will be completely destroyed.

Your level is B level 15. We will reasonably allocate your attack opportunities within the range between wolf level and tiger level. If you encounter a powerful tiger-level monster, of course we will not let you fight alone. Instead, we will temporarily deploy B-level and C-level heroes to form a combat team to ensure the safety of the heroes as much as possible.

In contrast, the Heroes Association will provide you with rewards based on your number of attacks, mission completion, and public evaluation. "

"Sorry to interrupt." Heather suddenly said: "What should I do if I want to improve my hero ranking?"

"This is a question that all heroes are concerned about, and I will answer it for you.

Hero rankings are mainly calculated based on [points] obtained from activities. Unfortunately, the scoring criteria cannot be disclosed to the public. This is a project responsible for the review committee of the Hero Association.

The review of activity content mainly refers to the hero's own application and the witness reports of civilians.

Occasionally there will be complaints that their results are not reflected in the rankings, but these are rare cases. "

With that said, Grady came over and whispered to Heather:

"According to my guess, the so-called points should be based entirely on your contribution, that is, the social contribution obtained by killing monsters, and the association contribution obtained after completing the special tasks issued by the association."

Heather nodded thoughtfully. She had seen how unreliable the review system of the Hero Association was in the comics.

One Punch Man Saitama was only C-level at the beginning, and he was only A-level in the Hungry Wolf chapter.

KING is known as the strongest man on earth and the ultimate weapon of the association, but he is only the 7th S-class man.

The A-level one is stronger than some S-level heroes, and the B-level one is far stronger than most A-level heroes. This magical situation happens often, which shows how unreliable this 'point' is.

Later, after the Monster Association was destroyed, a new hero activity group called Neo-Heroes emerged. A large number of heroes, even S-class heroes, were poached from the Hero Association by NEO.

Of course, NEO is rich and powerful because of throwing money at people, but the bigger reason is the crudeness of the hero association system and the corruption of the top management.

After chatting for a while and confirming the salary and responsibilities she could get, Heather waved her hand and left gracefully.

After Heather left, a long-suppressed exclamation immediately sounded in the hall of J Branch.

"Have you seen it? That man! So handsome!"

"It's almost as good as Sweetheart Mask!"

"Based on his face alone, he's definitely S-level."

"Idiot, it's idols who rely on their faces to make a living, not heroes."

A young girl ran over with a red face, leaned in front of Grady and asked: "Minister, is that person a new hero?"

"He's the branch chief... Yes, he is Heather, who has been newly promoted to the 15th place in Class B. He is reporting to the J branch today."

Grady scratched his head, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth:

"A man of extraordinary magnanimity, but he is in a bit of a dangerous situation."

"Danger? As long as you don't send him to deal with those too strong weirdos, it should be fine, right?" The girl was a little surprised.

"Not weirdos, but heroes... Bullying exists everywhere. It is not an urban legend that high-ranking heroes take the initiative to cut off the future of low-ranking heroes with potential."

Phew—Grady exhaled a puff of smoke:

"It just so happens that that powerful organization has also been operating near J City recently. If this kid is on the right track, it will be fine, but if he is not, he will be really dangerous."

"Huh? Which organization?"

Grady was silent for a while and then said:

"The 'Fubuki Team' is led by the top B-class [Hell Fubuki]. That woman is not something that ordinary B-class heroes can disobey."

……………………

Heather was walking on the street, even though she was dressed shabbily, she still couldn't stop the fiery gazes of the women around her.

Compared to her regular state, the thirty-year-old version of Heather seems to be even more charming.

It has been two months since he came to the world of One-hit Man. During this period, he used Sharingan to hypnotize a group of gangsters in the suburbs of J City, purchased a piece of land at a super low price and established the so-called "Shingenryu Dojo".

Of course, he had no intention of recruiting many disciples, and Xin Yuan Liu was just a cover.

The martial arts of the one-hit man world is a very mature and powerful fighting method. Heather is ready to intervene in the one-hit man martial arts world as the leader of Shingenryu, and will borrow the essence of each school from Chao Xi to finally achieve the goal. Complete his own [I-flow].

In order to increase her popularity, Heather also joined the Heroes Association. In this world, becoming a professional hero is the best way to gain exposure.

After coming out of J Branch, Heather felt a little hungry, so she found a food truck stall on the roadside with a lot of customers but not too many, and ordered a piece of poached fish.

Pork fish is a delicacy made of fish cut into cubes and then marinated with soy sauce, sea salt, onions and seaweed. The marinated raw fish is mixed with shredded green onions and papaya slices and served in a small bowl. , which can be called the specialty food of J city.

Of course, a portion of poached fish was not enough, so Heather ordered a small portion of egg burger with sticky rice and garlic prawns.

As the name suggests, the egg burger sticky rice consists of a juicy hamburger patty topped with white glutinous rice, a fried egg with sugar fillings, and a spoonful of special gravy.

Garlic prawns come in a portion of six. The shelled shrimps have a strong garlic and fresh aroma. They are a great snack to accompany the meal.

Finally, after grabbing a glass of iced pineapple juice from the nearby beverage truck, Heather happily sat down at the small plastic table provided by the food truck stall, ready to eat.

As soon as Heather picked up her fork, she heard screams and commotion coming from the beach in the distance.

Then, a huge monster roar sounded.

Heather looked at the beach, then looked down at the delicious food waiting for her. For a moment, she didn't know which side to choose.

Fortunately, the Heroes Association helped Heather make the decision, and Heather's cell phone rang rapidly in her pocket.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Heather, Class B 15, this is the Disaster Control Officer of Division J."

A methodical and fast pleasant female voice came from the mobile phone:

"A powerful monster has appeared on the Angel Coast about one kilometer away from you. The disaster level is estimated to be [Tiger]. Please go to support immediately. At the same time, we are contacting the B-level heroes [Leader Mizuki] and [Bone] who are a little further away from the Angel Coast. , [Jet Man] is going to support, please be careful before the large force arrives."

Click. Heather closed the flip phone, looked at the beach in the distance, picked up the iced pineapple juice and took a sip through a straw.

Okay, just think of it as your debut as a professional hero.
