Chapter 199: Cover-Up! This Must Be a Cover-Up!
Chapter 199: Cover-Up! This Must Be a Cover-Up!
On the other side, Yecheng, Saitama, and the others, who had already changed their clothes, were waiting in the waiting area for the results, each with different mindsets.
Genos had already defeated a B-Class hero, so becoming a professional hero was almost a certainty. Now, it was just a matter of ranking and class.
Yecheng, however, maintained an indifferent demeanor, as if he didn't care at all about the assessment results.
On the contrary, the baldhead, sitting next to him, had his hands clasped together, his face full of anxiety.
For the baldhead, becoming a professional hero was like a dream job that would directly pay him. In the past, he would go out to fight monsters as a volunteer, but now, as a professional hero of the Hero Association, he could actually earn money for it. This was exactly the job he had always dreamed of!
"Yecheng, why aren't you worried at all? Could it be that you're very confident in your written test score?"
The baldhead was a bit regretful. If he had known that the Hero Association's hero assessment included a written test, he would have crammed some knowledge instead of staying up all night playing games with Yecheng.
"Ah? My written test score? It should be fine..."
Yecheng didn't want to reveal to the baldhead that he had left the written test blank, because if he did, the baldhead would definitely feel superior and think he had outsmarted him.
After waiting for about half an hour, a staff member soon delivered three file folders to Yecheng and the others.
Genos was the first to open his file, and his final evaluation result was the 17th position among S-Class heroes!
"Surprisingly, an S-Class hero, Genos did a great job." When Saitama, craning his neck, saw Genos' evaluation result, he felt much more at ease.
Genos, who hadn't taken the written test, had become an S-Class hero after just defeating a minor monster. So, he himself shouldn't be too far off, right?
"Since I'm an S-Class hero, then the two of you should also be S-Class heroes, maybe even the first and second positions?"
Faced with Genos' flattery, the baldhead was clearly very pleased and opened his file, slowly pulling out the document with his photo.
Seeing the large arc of a letter, the baldhead thought he must also be an S-Class hero.
However, Genos noticed something was wrong, as the arc of the letter on Saitama's file seemed larger than his own.
C-Class hero, 390th position. When they saw the final evaluation result on the document, Genos and Saitama were both stunned.
After a brief moment of shock, Genos was filled with intense anger, declaring that he would go to the Hero Association to demand an explanation.
Why did he, who had been rated as an S-Class hero, have a teacher who was stronger than him and was only rated as a C-Class hero, and even the lowest-ranked one at that!
"Hey, you don't need to get so worked up. Isn't it clearly written in the file? The baldhead's written test score was only 20 points, and he only managed 50 points in the physical fitness test, barely passing. So, getting this ranking isn't surprising at all.
As for why Genos was rated as an S-Class hero, the additional notes say that due to his multiple hero missions and the destruction of the 'Evolution House,' he was given a breakthrough promotion."
Thanks to Yecheng's reminder, the two, who had initially found it hard to accept the results, finally began to calm down.
"But if that's the case, I often go out to eliminate monsters too. Why does Genos have a record, but I don't?"
In front of Yecheng's explanation, the Baldy once again voiced his internal doubts.
Over the past few years, whenever Saitama went out shopping or strolling, he frequently encountered monstrosities. The number of unlucky monsters slain by his hands numbered over eighty, if not a hundred.
In any case, the number of monsters he eradicated was undoubtedly far beyond what Genos could compare to. Why, then, was Genos promoted through a breakthrough promotion, while Saitama remained stagnant?
"Isn't this simple logic? Every time you defeat a monster with a single punch, you rush off without a moment's delay. Who the hell knows you've taken down monsters?"
Yecheng, being privy to the inside story, knew that if Saitama's achievements in defeating those monsters were credited to him, he would undoubtedly be an S-Class Hero.
Unfortunately, the victories over those monsters were, by a twist of fate, credited to a certain man, making him the "Strongest Man on Earth"—a being capable of making Baldy cry with just one finger.
"Yecheng, you probably don't have any records of hero missions, do you?"
Baldy had mostly accepted Yecheng's explanation, but now he worried that Yecheng, like Genos, had been promoted to S-Class due to past hero missions.
"Don't worry, I'm just an otaku. Where would I find the time for hero missions?"
As Yecheng spoke, he drew out his assessment results from his file bag with a slightly self-mocking tone and expression.
But when he saw the large "B" written on it, Yecheng was utterly dumbfounded!
"How can I be a B-Class Hero? This is completely unreasonable! Has the Hero Association made some mistake?"
There was no mistake; upon seeing the file, Yecheng was indeed stunned. The final assessment result stated that Yecheng was ranked 101st among B-Class Heroes, making him the very bottom of the list.
"Well, Saitama-sensei's result is understandable, but how can Yecheng-sensei be only a B-Class Hero? This assessment body of the Hero Association must either have a hole in their head or be blind!"
At Yecheng's exclamation, Genos momentarily wore an expression of righteous indignation.
He believed Saitama-sensei's C-Class result was due to poor written exam scores.
However, given Yecheng's previously confident demeanor, his written exam performance should have been exceptional. Yet, he was still only evaluated as a B-Class Hero, which seemed somewhat unfair.
"Why am I a B-Class Hero? I submitted a blank paper for the written exam! Logically, if I scored zero in the written exam, I should have been eliminated with a total score of 50, right? But what's going on here?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's indignant roar, Genos and Saitama, who were standing nearby, froze in shock.
Especially for Baldy, after his initial moment of paralysis, he immediately felt a sense of imbalance. Despite both of them achieving perfect physical exam scores, how could Yecheng, who scored zero in the written exam, be a B-Class Hero, while he, who managed a meager 20 points, was a C-Class Hero?
Although they were both at the bottom, Yecheng's hero ranking was a full 390 places higher than Baldy's!
"This is a cover-up! It has to be!"
"There's no mistake; I can't accept this result at all!"
Just as Yecheng and Saitama expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the assessment result, Genos, standing beside them, glanced at Yecheng's evaluation and said, "Teachers, the reason for Yecheng-sensei's B-Class Hero rating is also stated here."
