Chapter 201: The True Instigator!
Chapter 201: The True Instigator!
But this didn't make sense either. If Yecheng wanted to be eliminated, why would he sign up for the Hero Association's Hero Test in the first place? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
To find the answer, Snowflake eventually cautiously voiced her inner doubts, "Could it be that you never intended to pass the test and become a Professional Hero from the start?"
Yecheng: "What else could it be? Do you think there are truly illiterate people left in this day and age?"
Snowflake: "But if that's the case, why did you even sign up? Isn't that redundant?"
Yecheng: "Do I look like I wanted to? If it weren't for that bald bully over there taking it upon himself to register me, and with the penalty fee for withdrawing, I wouldn't bother with this nonsense."
Upon hearing the full story, Snowflake finally understood the situation.
"Since you've become a hero against your wishes, how about joining my Blizzard Team? Don't be fooled by the glamorous appearance of being a hero; it's a highly dangerous job.
Not to mention the powerful monstrosities, the internal competition is fierce. Heroes like us in the B and C ranks can't even compare to the S-Class Heroes if we don't stick together."
"And as a newly-minted hero, you're probably still a Grade C Hero, right?
If you join my Blizzard Team, I'll ensure our members direct resources your way to help you climb the ranks faster and become a B-Rank Hero."
Even though Snowflake knew that Yecheng never intended to become a hero, the situation was already set in motion, so she extended an invitation to Yecheng, detailing the benefits and treatment she could offer.
"A B-Rank Hero? I'm sorry, but I'm already a B-Rank Hero, albeit the very last one on the list.
Speaking of which, isn't this all thanks to you, Snowflake? How could you not know about this?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Snowflake's expression turned sarcastic, and he held up his evaluation document to show her.
However, Yecheng didn't expect that when Snowflake heard he had become a B-Rank Hero, her expression would be one of genuine shock as she snatched the document from his hands and examined it intently.
After about a minute, Snowflake looked at Yecheng and said, "Do you know someone high up in the Hero Association?"
Yecheng: (￣￣)
"I know as many high-ranking officials as I do watermelons. I'm just a lowly otaku; my social circle consists only of the former cross-dressing boss and the bald guy over there. How could I possibly know such influential figures?"
Seeing Yecheng's dismissive gesture, Snowflake's expression grew even more perplexed. "Then this doesn't make sense. I only pulled some strings to get the Hero Association to hire you.
They did it as a favor to my sister... In any case, even I don't have the influence to get you rated as a B-Rank Hero."
After returning the document to Yecheng, Snowflake asserted, "It's clear that you mistook the 'special individual' mentioned in the document for Hell Blizzard."
If Snowflake had such influence, why would she still be at the top of the B-Rank Heroes?
"If it wasn't you, then who the hell is messing with me?!"
Seeing that Snowflake's expression wasn't feigned, Yecheng couldn't help but wonder. If it wasn't Snowflake's doing, he genuinely couldn't fathom who the true instigator was.
In a luxurious villa in City A, Hinanai was working on documents in her room, with a portrait of someone on the table. Suddenly, she turned to her female bodyguard and asked, "Have you taken care of the matter I asked you to handle?"
Upon hearing the aristocrat's question, the bodyguard quickly replied, "Please rest assured, Miss. Everything has been taken care of."
However, the Hero Association's executive reported that Mr. Yecheng had no actual achievements and had lost to Hell Blizzard, the top B-Rank Hero, in a sparring battle.
"If he were promoted directly to an S-Rank Hero, it would cause dissatisfaction among other heroes in the association, so he cannot be promoted directly to an S-Rank Hero. He can only start from being a B-Rank Hero."
Upon hearing the bodyguard's words, Hinanai, who had been working on the documents, couldn't help but show a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Yecheng has defeated Dragon-Class Monsters like Vaccine Man before. How can they still think his strength is not up to par with an S-Rank Hero!"
"Next month, I will reduce by half the investment funds that the corporation was going to allocate to the Hero Association. Also, please provide me with detailed information about Hell Blizzard, the top B-Rank Hero."
Yecheng probably never dreamed that the person responsible for his promotion to a B-Rank Hero was currently sitting in the villa, leisurely enjoying a cup of tea.
Yecheng participated in the Hero Test, and Hinanai only found out afterward.
Due to the corporation's busy work, Hinanai's father had already transferred all the shares of the Hero Association to her.
Currently, Hinanai is the third-largest shareholder in the Hero Association and the youngest among them.
When Hell Blizzard approached Yecheng, hoping for special treatment, Yecheng's information was naturally conveyed to the Hero Association's headquarters.
Coincidentally, Genos also needed a breakthrough promotion, so both their files were sent to the hands of the Hero Association's board of directors.
To give Hinanai, the new shareholder, a sense of presence, the board sought the opinion of this new major shareholder.
When the board saw Yecheng's file, Hinanai was stunned and immediately approved it.
She even felt that with Yecheng's strength, barely scraping by to become a C-Rank Hero would be an insult to him. So, Hinanai wrote 'This person is qualified to be an S-Rank Hero' at the bottom of the file.
Unfortunately, Yecheng lost to the top B-Rank Hero, Hell Blizzard, in the assessment. If he were promoted to an S-Rank Hero, it would undoubtedly spark rumors, so the association rejected Hinanai's unreasonable request.
At Hinanai's request, the identity information of Hell Blizzard, the top B-Rank Hero, was soon in her hands.
Hinanai didn't think Yecheng's strength would lose to a mere B-Rank Hero; there must be a reason she didn't know.
Either Hell Blizzard wasn't as simple as she imagined, or Yecheng intentionally went easy on her.
When Hinanai saw Hell Blizzard's photo, her expression froze instantly. She hadn't expected the top B-Rank Hero, Hell Blizzard, to be such a beautiful woman.
Not only was her appearance beautiful, but her figure was also so alluring!
So, the question is, did Yecheng and Hell Blizzard know each other before? If so, what was their relationship?
Judging from Hell Blizzard's record of defeated monsters, her strength was impressive, but she shouldn't have been Yecheng's opponent.
