Chapter 234: Crisis of Earth's Destruction?
Chapter 234: Crisis of Earth's Destruction?
Trembling Cyclone was an extreme siscon, and if she found out that her lovely sister had been... well, let's just say she wouldn't take it lightly if she knew Night City had taken advantage of her.
Night City's healing ability was incredibly rare, and the Poison Sting members who had joined Blizzard Team would benefit from it in the future. Naturally, they didn't want anything to happen to Night City, their resident blood bag.
However, Night City himself seemed unconcerned, and what could these outsiders do about it?
"Miss Blizzard, is there something you need to explain to me...?"
"Dudu-dudu-dudu-dudu!"
Looking at Blizzard, who was slightly tipsy from drinking and had a flushed face, Night City was about to bring up the matter of endorsement fees. But who would've thought he'd be interrupted by Blizzard's urgent phone notification?
Blizzard, in her tipsy state, instantly sobered up after seeing the text message on her phone. She turned to Night City and said, "Night City, don't go home yet. Head over to the Hero Association in City A first.
Something big has happened. The Hero Association has called an emergency meeting with all S-Class Heroes, and it's rumored that Earth is about to face its greatest disaster!"
The Hero Association headquarters was holding an emergency meeting, and all the S-Class Heroes had been summoned. Even though Blizzard was now the second-ranked A-Class Hero, this matter didn't concern her much.
However, as a newly promoted S-Class Hero, Night City didn't have his contact information registered with the Hero Association, so he couldn't reach his leader, Sique. Following protocol, he had called Blizzard instead.
"A disaster that might destroy Earth?"
A normal person would probably panic if they heard that their planet was facing an extinction crisis.
But Night City remained surprisingly calm, as in countless anime, Earth always seemed to be the victim.
Every time a villain popped up, their goal was either world domination or world destruction, and such scenarios were no longer novel.
If this were another world, Night City might worry that the protagonist's experience as the son of the world wasn't high enough, leading to potential setbacks when facing the final boss and, consequently, dragging him down.
However, in this world, Night City was entirely unconcerned about such a possibility.
Jokingly, Baldy Saitama had maxed out his physical attributes and skills. While protagonists from other worlds might face the risk of failure, in this world, as long as Baldy was around, villains didn't stand a chance.
Nevertheless, since it was a mandatory summons, and Blizzard seemed to take this matter seriously, Night City and Blizzard headed to the Hero Association headquarters.
Upon arriving, Night City realized they were the last to arrive.
To his surprise, Genos and Baldy were also present.
Logically, Baldy, being at the bottom of the C-Class Heroes, shouldn't have been qualified to attend such a prestigious meeting.
But when Genos received the Hero Association's text notification, Baldy was right by his side. Genos believed that if it was a crisis threatening Earth's destruction, the powerful Saitama-sensei could definitely lend a hand, so he brought him along.
Due to the Hero Association's mandatory summons, all S-Class Heroes, except for the top-ranked "Blast," were present.
However, when Night City arrived, many in attendance seemed unfamiliar with him.
"Allow me to introduce this gentleman with white hair. His name is Night City, a newly promoted S-Class Hero currently ranked tenth.
The Devil Cyborg, Silver Fang, and Trembling Cyclone should all be familiar with him, right?"
As a newly promoted S-Rank Hero, Yecheng's rapid rise in the rankings was even more outrageous than Genos'. It was no surprise that many of the S-Rank Heroes present were unfamiliar with him and even held doubts about his abilities.
After all, they had heard of Yecheng, the S-Rank Hero who had only defeated a single Ghost-Class Monster and yet skyrocketed in the rankings. Rumors suggested that he had powerful backers within the Hero Association headquarters.
The S-Rank Heroes present had all earned their positions through sheer strength and skill, so it was natural for them to have little regard for Yecheng, who seemed to have gotten his position through connections.
"Oh, is he the guy called 'White Reaper'? The super rookie who suddenly jumped ahead of me in the rankings?"
As Sique introduced Yecheng, the attention of everyone present shifted to him. Metal Bat, who had been pushed down to 17th place among the S-Rank Heroes, looked particularly displeased.
Metal Bat appeared to be a young delinquent who fought with a metal bat, hence his nickname.
However, assuming he was just a skilled fighter would be a grave mistake.
Snowflake's words rang true—S-Rank Heroes were all monsters, even those who appeared unremarkable. Their abilities often belied their ordinary appearances.
Metal Bat's fighting style was one of increasing courage in battle, and he possessed a unique constitution that allowed him to become stronger the more injured he got.
In short, he had the classic protagonist's body that grew stronger the more he was pushed to the brink!
Naturally, he despised weaklings like Yecheng who had gotten their positions through connections.
If they weren't at the Hero Association headquarters, Metal Bat would have loved to test this suddenly promoted S-Rank Hero himself to see what he was made of.
"Little brother Metal Bat, I suggest you refrain from taking action against him. Night City's promotion to S-Rank Hero is not due to connections but because he truly possesses the necessary strength.
I, Silver Fang, can vouch for this. There is no exaggeration in his current ranking."
The S-Rank Heroes who had previously dismissed Yecheng were now taken aback by Silver Fang's words.
Who was Silver Fang? He was the third-ranked S-Rank Hero and a revered figure in the martial arts world. For him to vouch for Yecheng meant that Yecheng must possess genuine talent and strength!
"You're right. I hope everyone here won't be biased against 'White Reaper' because of his sudden rise in the rankings.
Our Hero Association is fair. Even if he had connections, we would never jeopardize the lives of ordinary citizens by promoting someone unworthy to S-Rank.
The 'White Reaper' before you may not have much experience as a Hero, but his strength has been verified. He is undoubtedly powerful.
If you don't believe me, you can ask the second-ranked Hero, Trembling Cyclone."
As Sique suddenly directed the conversation towards her, Cyclone, standing nearby with her arms crossed, turned away with a spoiled little girl's attitude. "Hmph, he was just lucky last time. If I had taken him seriously from the start and used my full strength,
he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did, let alone escape unscathed!"
