Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 16
Chapter 16: A Gathering of Extraordinary Talents
Only Chen Ye knew the truth.
The hero with the code name S11.
Nickname: “Superalloy Darkshine”
Excluding unknown explosive situations, Superalloy Darkshine should be the hero with the strongest defence among S-class heroes.
Of course, Chen Ye wouldn’t casually reveal this information.
The self-introductions continued.
After the sturdy young man with the code name S11 finished, the bespectacled guy beside him said: “Hello, everyone, I’m Sun Hongwei, and my hero’s code name is A17.”
This guy spoke with a much lower tone, appearing quite lacking in confidence.
Compared to S-class hero talents, A-class heroes were indeed much inferior.
Chen Ye couldn’t remember who the A17 hero was.
In the One Punch Man anime, except for those S-class heroes with higher visibility, A-class heroes had few opportunities to appear.
Most A-class heroes’ abilities were not mentioned in the original, so Chen Ye naturally didn’t know.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Li Zhengyu, and my hero’s code name is A1.”
A handsome young man introduced himself.
His image and temperament matched well with the first A-class hero, “Sweet Mask.”
As far as Chen Ye knew, Sweet Mask was quite powerful. His talent was an extraordinary vitality and recovery ability.
Ranked first in A-class, he aimed to block weaker individuals from entering the S-class position!
“Hello, everyone, I’m Zhang Mengyao, and my hero’s code name is S13…”
“Hello, everyone, I’m Shao Wenhui, and my hero’s code name is A19…”
“Hello, everyone, I’m Jiang Ping, and my hero’s code name is S15…”
One after another, people introduced themselves. Among the thirty or so people in this group, there were quite a few with S-class hero talents.
It could only be said that it was indeed the prestigious Wu University.
Even Teacher Liu wore a smile, nodding repeatedly, very satisfied with this group of talented students.
Soon, it was Chen Ye’s turn. At this point, Chen Ye could only go with the flow!
“Hello, everyone, I’m Chen Ye, and my hero’s code name is…”
“Wait!”
A voice suddenly interrupted Chen Ye.
It was Teacher Liu.
He looked at Chen Ye with a complex expression and said, “Are you Chen Ye?”
Chen Ye nodded.
“You don’t need to introduce yourself; just take a seat!”
Teacher Liu’s tone sounded somewhat helpless.
Hearing this, Chen Ye’s heart moved, and then he calmly sat down.
If his guess was correct, the school leaders had already informed Teacher Liu about his special situation.
Otherwise, Teacher Liu wouldn’t react like this upon hearing Chen Ye’s name.
Other students noticed. They curiously looked at Chen Ye.
While everyone else introduced themselves properly, Chen Ye got interrupted by the teacher.
This was obviously abnormal. As they observed, they increasingly felt that Chen Ye looked familiar…
After a moment. Finally, a student with a good memory remembered and couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s President Chen’s son!”
Everyone listened and suddenly recalled the events from more than ten days ago, feeling enlightened.
Then, all eyes were on Chen Ye, and the gazes became somewhat strange.
Surprise, curiosity, disdain, mockery, disdain. Various complex looks were cast upon Chen Ye. For a moment, Chen Ye became the focus in the cabin.
The atmosphere became somewhat weird. Regarding this, Chen Ye himself remained calm. He had long expected this situation to occur and was mentally prepared.
“Continue introducing yourselves for those who haven’t!”
Teacher Liu spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
A chubby student next to Chen Ye stood up and said: “Hello, everyone, I’m Qian Fugui, and my hero’s code name is S7!”
When they heard the code name S7, the cabin fell silent again.
Everyone was astonished, looking at the student named “Qian Fugui.”
Including Teacher Liu. Even Chen Ye showed a look of surprise, gazing at his classmate.
Soon, someone whispered: “A C-class hero who’s a waste, and someone who chose a big pit in the S-class; both are talents!”
“What I can’t understand is how they were admitted to Wu University?”
“The C-class guy probably used connections, after all, his father is a prominent figure. Our principal has to give face. As for this chubby guy…”
“I know; it must be his wealth ability. Look at the clothes he’s wearing; none of them cost less than five figures. Even his name carries a scent of money!”
Although these discussions were hushed, the cabin was small, and everyone could hear.
Chen Ye remained indifferent.
Qian Fugui was furious, his face turning red.
He stood up directly, saying, “Stop talking nonsense! I was admitted normally… I chose S7 because I don’t believe that there’s a useless talent among S-class heroes. I want to try it out, discover the secret of S7 for future generations, that’s why I made this choice! You can mock me for being naive or foolish, but I always believe that the hero talent with the code name S7 must not be as simple as it seems!”
His words were forceful, suppressing many people.
Regarding the hero talents, people in this world were still in the exploratory stage. No one dared to claim that they knew everything about all hero talents.
Only Chen Ye quietly felt regret for this chubby guy. Perhaps Qian Fugui’s intentions were good. Unfortunately, all his efforts would be in vain!
Chen Ye had read the original work and knew that the hero with the code name S7, whose real name was “KING,” was just an ordinary person, capable of scaring people with his heartbeat sound and summoning “Bald Big Demon King”!
But there was no Caped Baldy to summon in this world.
“Good!”
Teacher Liu suddenly applauded. “Qian Fugui, if you can really discover the secret of S7, it will be a great benevolent deed for humanity. Teacher supports you!”
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Encouraged by Teacher Liu, Qian Fugui appeared excited. Other students remained indifferent.
Choosing to match the S7 hero talent wasn’t exclusive to Qian Fugui.
Since the appearance of hero meteorites until now, there had been thousands of people who chose S7.
Because the success rate of matching S7 was the highest among S-class heroes. Even easier than many A-class heroes.
However, among these thousands of predecessors, not one had successfully discovered any secrets of S7.
All the people who matched S7, apart from abnormal heartbeats, had no other abilities!
It was said that some people who matched S7 eventually committed suicide by jumping off buildings because they were constantly reported by neighbors for disturbing the peace…
It was precisely because there were too many failed examples that S7 was acknowledged as a big pit among S-class heroes.
Although Qian Fugui was full of enthusiasm, no one held high expectations for him.
