Chapter 511: S-Class, Rank 18: Raijin
Chapter 511: S-Class, Rank 18: Raijin
Two days later.
The Hero Association headquarters announced the list of heroes who had been promoted.
Some C-Class heroes received ranking improvements, and a few even advanced to B-Class. There were also improvements in the B-Class rankings, but no one made it to A-Class.
However, the most eye-catching name at the very top of this list was the ranking improvement of the former second-place A-Class hero, Raijin—promoted from A-Class, Rank 2, to S-Class, Rank 18! For Feng Ye's fans, his promotion was expected, and it sparked a wave of retweets and cheers among the ever-growing number of members in his fan club.
In addition.
Since someone had been promoted to S-Class, many of the S-Class heroes received a notification, including those with high rankings like Atomic Samurai and Child Emperor.
However, only a few S-Class heroes towards the bottom of the rankings, such as Sexy Prisoner and Vest Mentor, paid close attention to Feng Ye's situation. Those at the top, like Atomic Samurai, simply glanced at the news and didn't give it much more thought.
......
In a certain room.
Tornado, wearing a small blue and white striped pajama set, was brushing her teeth in front of the washbasin. She held her toothbrush in her left hand and picked up her phone with her right when it buzzed.
After glancing through the message from the Hero Association, she was slightly taken aback.
"Hmm?"
The message was about Feng Ye's promotion and included a picture of him. She recognized him as the man who had been standing behind Blizzard the day before.
She had initially thought he was just some ordinary esper that Blizzard had scrounged up from who knows where, but she never expected him to make it to S-Class. This meant he wasn't entirely useless after all.
"Blizzard, was that man from yesterday your subordinate?"
Tornado turned her head to look behind her.
Blizzard, clad in a loose-fitting pajama top with not a single button fastened, glanced at Tornado and replied firmly, "Yes, and I will gather even more people. I'll prove to you, Sister, that relying on yourself alone is wrong!"
"Liar," Tornado said, glancing at Blizzard. "That man is now S-Class. Anyone who makes it to S-Class has some skill. How could he end up in a trash organization like yours?"
Blizzard's expression froze, and she said, "He's not part of it yet... but he will join eventually!"
Tornado gave a soft hum and put her phone away. "Stop deceiving yourself. You'll never be able to do it."
Gritting her teeth, Blizzard glared at Tornado and said, "What if I succeed?"
Tornado pulled the toothbrush out of her mouth, causing it to float in the air. She herself rose to hover half a head higher than Blizzard, hands on her hips, and chin raised. "Then I'll acknowledge you a little."
......
In a spacious living room.
Feng Ye was on his phone, browsing a page that had appeared after he verified his hero identity. He had only posted a simple introduction so far—
【I am Raijin. Nice to meet you.】
It was just a brief greeting, yet the comment section below already had thousands of replies. Feng Ye was casually scrolling through them.
One of the top comments made him chuckle. It read, 'Husband, dinner is ready. Come home early.'
Feng Ye flipped through his emoji collection and found a 'peach' emoji to reply with before closing his phone and walking to the window.
"Let's engage in some other hero activities for a bit."
Feng Ye gazed out the window, a gleam in his eyes as his vision expanded, piercing through buildings to take in the bustling city below.
As an S-Class hero, the Hero Association would notify him of any disasters occurring nearby. Still, such notifications were not as prompt as finding them himself.
With the power of the Rinne Sharingan, Feng Ye could see through most of the city with ease, and with the foresight granted by the Phantom Clock, it was not difficult to anticipate disasters before they occurred.
As Feng Ye observed with his Rinne Sharingan and simultaneously used the Phantom Clock's ability to peer into the future, a faint glimmer caught his eye.
"Hmm?"
...
In a certain part of City A.
This was a bustling city square, where people could be seen relaxing and entertaining themselves.
At the top of a luxurious hotel beside the square, a handsome man sat by the window, sipping a glass of red wine as his gaze casually swept over the square below.
He was the top-ranked A-Class hero, Sweet Mask.
"Time to go."
After glancing at his watch, he finished his wine, stood up, and prepared to leave for an upcoming entertainment program.
Just then, he paused, turned abruptly, and looked down at the square, where a burst of flames had suddenly erupted.
"Yaaaaah!!!"
Screams of terror and panic erupted across the square.
A monster had appeared in the center of the plaza!
It was a hideous creature, with a bloated body covered in bubbles, standing at a towering height of over twenty feet. It spewed flames from its mouth, engulfing a radius of several meters in an inferno, as billows of black smoke rose into the sky.
"Hmph..."
"Showing up at a time like this..."
Sweet Mask's expression turned cold as he scowled at the scene. He huffed, kicked the window, and leaped out from the top of the twenty-story building.
BOOM!!
He landed in the square, the impact of his landing shattering the ground beneath his feet, cracks spreading out like a spider web in all directions.
Among the fleeing civilians, some spotted Sweet Mask and their terrified eyes lit up with hope.
"It's a hero!!!"
"It's Mr. Sweet Mask!!!"
Being the top-ranked A-Class hero and a famous entertainer, Sweet Mask's popularity even surpassed that of most S-Class heroes, making him instantly recognizable to almost everyone.
With Sweet Mask's arrival, the panic among the nearby civilians was swiftly assuaged, and many even stopped fleeing, gathering around the hero instead.
"Defeat that monster, Mr. Sweet Mask!"
"Take it down!"
The crowd behind Sweet Mask began waving their arms, no longer afraid, but rather behaving like spectators at a zoo, cheering him on as if he were a lion or tiger.
Sweet Mask was accustomed to his immense popularity and calmly strode towards the monster.
