Hunter starting from Hunter World

The next day, in the conference room of the Heroes Association headquarters in City A, a large number of senior managers gathered together to discuss the operation of the entire organization.

Then, based on the results of the discussion, the undocumented knight will continue to maintain its No. 1 position in Class C.

Okay, I will arrange to contact him in person immediately.

Really, why doesn't he want to be promoted to Class B?

It would be great if all heroes could obey the arrangements like the beast tamer.

Yes! I heard that the council is considering letting him replace Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai and rise directly to the third position. Silver Fang himself has agreed, but there is still a small problem with Atomic Samurai that has not been resolved.

This month alone, the animal trainer himself has brought about 1.5 billion in donations and sponsorships to the association. In addition, the sales revenue of peripheral products has also reached an astonishing 1.254 billion. The number of fan clubs has exceeded 80 million, and he is undoubtedly the most popular hero. Even Smiling Mask, who is ranked No. 1 in the A-class, cannot compare with him. I can’t believe that he only debuted about two months ago.”

He has strength, good looks, and popularity, and every time he takes action, he will quickly eliminate the threat and minimize the damage. I think this is why the council wants to promote him as the association's signature.

No! I think it has something to do with the two S-class heroes, Ice Witch and Saint, recommended by the trainer himself. Especially the latter, which has now become the spiritual belief and sustenance of the people, helping the injured all over the world every day. , treating sick people. Whether they are politicians or wealthy businessmen, they are all eager to get a chance to resurrect from her. After all, the world is so dangerous, and no one knows what accident will happen in the next second.

It makes sense. Have you ever felt that in recent times, the frequency and danger of various disasters have increased rapidly, and there may really be a major crisis that leads to the destruction of mankind.

So the association is preparing for a possible bigger crisis?

Ahem! Please keep quiet! Let's move on to the next topic.

The fifty-fifth hero evaluation test, the total number of participants this time is...

There are a total of 11,684 people in the six examination rooms, an increase of 22% from the previous session.

Oh? Has it improved again?

It's not too early to be happy! No matter how many participants there are, it means nothing in the end if the hero's qualifications are not up to par. So we must be extra strict in the testing process. In addition, I heard that there is a special talent Did you participate in this year’s test?”

Yes! Although it has not been confirmed yet, the possibility is very high. It is said that the animal tamer himself has also shown considerable interest in this and appeared in person at the sixth special venue.

What? The beast tamer also showed up? It seems that this young man named Genos is attracting a lot of attention.

Of course! The person behind Genos's support is Dr. Kusno. He is a top scientist in transforming humans.

…

There is no doubt that compared to Saitama, the bald demon king who has always been in the blind spot of the Hero Association, Genos, the reformer who is often active in fighting criminals and weirdos around the world, has long been included in the scope of observation.

After all, his fighting style is too flashy, often accompanied by violent explosions and burnings.

After a battle, several nearby streets will be completely reduced to ruins, and it will be difficult for the government and the Heroes Association not to notice.

But what about poor Saitama?

Since his battles are basically instant kills with one punch, there is no process or duration at all.

By the time the Heroes Association reacted and went to investigate the specific situation, everyone had been gone for who knows how long, and there was no time to even confirm the disaster level, so the credit was inevitably placed on others.

However, for those who understand the Hero Association's rating system, the so-called ranking is actually a joke and has no direct relationship with strength.

Instead, it refers to many comprehensive factors such as record performance, social influence, and the disaster level of defeating the monster.

What's more, the reason why Eren showed up at the Sixth Special Venue was not for Genos at all, but to see how blind the people in the Hero Association were, and how they could ignore the incredible physical fitness of the bald devil. .

Is this the person you've been following?

Mr. Bang Gu stared at the bald man in the stadium who was jumping horizontally at supersonic speeds repeatedly, creating at least twenty afterimages. His tone was full of surprise that could not be concealed.

As a master of the martial arts festival, it is naturally impossible for him to not know what this speed means.

Even the staff responsible for counting were stunned and had no idea how to record it.

Because the speed was too fast, it was impossible to observe with the naked eye just how many times the bald devil jumped horizontally within thirty seconds. In the end, he could only fill in a random number based on his own rough estimate.

Allen saw this scene and immediately understood the reason why Saitama was finally defined as a C-class hero.

It's not that this guy didn't work hard enough, it's that he worked too hard, and the result exceeded the upper limit of the statistical capabilities of the equipment and staff.

In the end, we can only get a result based on a subjective rough estimate, which is far from the real situation.

Thinking of this, he immediately chuckled and nodded: Yeah! It's incredible, isn't it? A person who has obviously not undergone any systematic training and has no fighting skills actually has a body like a god. Tell me, For people like him, do you think martial arts can have any other role?

Okay, I think I understand what you mean. Skill is always relative, but strength is absolute. With the speed, strength and explosive power he showed, there is really no need to learn martial arts. Bang Gu sighed slightly. tone.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

Once upon a time, he was also full of confidence in his own strength.

He believes that no matter how powerful the enemy is, he can defeat him with his well-refined Flowing Water Rock Breaking Fist.

But after seeing the gods-like bodies of Allen and the Bald Demon King, he finally realized that his so-called power was just at the level of mortal.

But the first two have exceeded the limitations of mortals and entered the realm of gods.

You're right! Although skills can make up for the gap in strength to a certain extent, this compensation has limits, so it is also called soft power or elastic strength. In contrast, strength, speed, Hard power such as reaction and outburst is the real standard to measure a person's strength. To be honest, I am not very satisfied with the current operating mechanism of the Hero Association. Because in essence, the management does not realize that strength is the key to success. It is the measure of a hero, and it is still filled with all kinds of boring bureaucracy and formalism.

When saying these words, Allen did not hide his dissatisfaction and sarcasm towards the Heroes Association at all.

Although he has made a lot of wealth in this world with the convenience provided by the other party.

Similarly, it is precisely because of excessive bureaucracy that when BLUE, the son of the number one S-class hero Blast, stepped forward to establish NEO HEROS, a large number of S-class heroes immediately chose to change jobs.

After all, any hero who is slightly idealistic and aims to pursue greater personal strength will not like to deal with a group of politicians and bureaucrats who can only hide behind and give random orders.

Especially in order to attract more sponsorships and donations, these people will do anything and even force the heroes to do things against their will.

In this regard, the most popular Allen can be said to feel the same way.

It's just that he doesn't need to compromise like others, either by randomly creating two shadow clones to deal with it, or by directly throwing an illusion to defeat the opponent.

When Banggu heard these words, he immediately showed a helpless expression: The issues you mentioned have been raised a long time ago. But the problem is that the operation of the Heroes Association itself requires a large amount of financial support, otherwise the heroes will not even be able to basic If your life is not guaranteed, how can you fulfill your responsibilities and obligations with peace of mind.

So, you also support the reform? A meaningful expression appeared on Allen's face.

Reform? Forget it. An old man like me who is about to retire doesn't want to get involved in such troublesome things anymore. But if you want to promote change, it's better to be careful. Because There are many people in the association who are beneficiaries of the current system, and they will not allow you to change the rules easily. Bangu reminded, stroking his beard.

Don't worry, I will find an appropriate time to change everything in the future. As for now, let's maintain the status quo.

After saying that, Allen turned around and left the sixth special venue without looking back.

Looking at his retreating figure, Bang Gu couldn't help but sigh slightly, and sighed softly: The Heroes Association is really troubled now. It seems that the next trouble will definitely be inevitable, and I have to make some preparations.

…

About ten minutes later, in the dressing room of the venue, Saitama and his eldest disciple Genos were staring expectantly at the notice in the envelope.

Especially the half-leaked arc mark, which looks very much like a capital S from a distance.

You are worthy of being a teacher! It is indeed higher than my A-level, and it has directly entered S-level. Genos congratulated excitedly from the side.

Since there is no plot of the Evolution House, he did not directly become the last one in the S-level rankings like the original plot, but was only evaluated as the second place in the A-level rankings.

And in his eyes, with his teacher's unlimited power, becoming an S-class hero was simply a matter of course.

Unfortunately, Genos obviously underestimated the extent of the bald devil's misfortune.

When the notice was completely pulled out of the envelope, the arc-shaped mark was not an S at all, but a capital C. Next to it is a lowercase fraction - seventy-one.

moment!

Saitama's whole body was petrified, and his face was filled with an expression of despair.

Before he could recover from the blow, he heard a familiar laughter coming from behind.

Hahahaha! It's actually C-level? Your bad luck is still as good as ever. What do you think, do you need me to complain to the person in charge and let them re-grade you?

Allen slowly walked in from the door, his tone full of schadenfreude and ridicule.

no way!

The slumped expression of the bald devil is so interesting no matter how you look at it, and he never gets tired of it.

Ah? Why are you here?

Saitama suddenly changed his face, and at the same time, he stuffed the notice with C, seventy-one points into his pocket at a very fast speed.

Allen smiled and explained: Have you forgotten? I am the fifth-ranked hero trainer in S-class. Of course I will come and take a look at a large-scale event like this to select new recruits. How about, do you need me to help you? Do you want to revise the rating? In the Hero Association, my words still have some weight.

Don't! I don't want to be embarrassed again. Saitama shook his head and refused without even thinking. C-level is C-level. Anyway, as long as you work hard, you can always move up bit by bit in the future.

That's right! With the teacher's strength, it's easy to become an S-class hero.

Genos hurriedly stepped forward to cheer him up to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Who told him to mistake the capital C for S before, and he made such a joke?

Okay, I respect your idea. Also, as a senior in this industry, I will treat you to a big meal today to celebrate your successful employment. Allen suggested with interest.

Huh? Really? Can anything be done? Saitama suddenly stood up from his chair.

You must know that he has not received half a dime in his account for a long time recently. The wallet full of coins is also drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he is worried about eating.

After all, although fresh meat ingredients can be obtained for free from Azeroth, condiments, condiments and vegetables still need to be purchased in the supermarket.

If someone is treating you, you can have a big meal, and then you won't need to eat again within a day or two.

It has to be said that the bald devil is a professional when it comes to budgeting carefully and saving money.

As a neighbor separated by a wall, it was impossible for Allen not to know how bad the other party's current economic situation was. He immediately nodded in a dumbfounded voice: That's right! Whether it's a top-notch restaurant or a feast in a five-star hotel, You can choose whatever you want. I have a million budget for this meal.

One...one million? One meal?!

Poor guy Saitama opened his mouth wide in surprise, and was immediately deeply shocked by the huge gap between rich and poor.

You should know that when he was most extravagant, he just went to a roadside ramen stall and ate two bowls of pork bone noodle soup with extra eggs, fried dumplings and pork chops in one go.

Isn't it normal to eat a million dollars for a big meal? You must know that many high-end ingredients are very expensive, plus the appearance fees of top chefs, if the budget is too low...

Before Allen could finish his words, the loudspeaker above his head suddenly sounded.

Ding dong! Mr. Saitama, Mr. Genos, there will be a briefing session for qualified candidates at 16 o'clock. Please move to the third lecture hall immediately.

Hmph! Boring formalism. Anyway, I will wait for you outside and we will talk about the rest later.

Allen waved and walked straight out of the locker room.

Obviously, there are only two qualified candidates in the entire sixth special venue, Saitama and Genos.

As for the remaining ones, all were eliminated without exception.
