- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 511
The written exam had a total of 21 questions.
Among them, 20 were multiple-choice questions.
Only the last question had a bit of difficulty, requiring the participants to write an essay about their thoughts after becoming a hero, with a minimum of 500 words.
Chen Ye, of course, wrote about how, after becoming a hero, he would work hard to fight off monsters.
Most importantly, he wrote about how he would obey the Hero Association’s directives and remain loyal to it… In short, the entire essay was about kissing up to the Hero Association!!
After finishing his essay, Chen Ye didn’t rush to hand in his paper but waited for the exam time to end before submitting it along with everyone else.
By the way.
Saitama and Chen Ye were in the same exam room.
That bald head was in a daze the entire time, making Chen Ye wonder if he had even finished.
After the papers were handed in.
Next came the wait for the results.
The notification of the results would come quickly, within just an hour.
So, most of the people who participated in the test stayed in the waiting room.
…
In a corner of the waiting room.
“Ah! The hero test is finally over, now we just wait for the results to come out!”
Saitama’s face showed a hint of confidence.
He felt that his performance wouldn’t be bad at all.
Suddenly, Saitama thought of the young man he had encountered earlier during the physical test.
The guy looked even younger than him but performed astonishingly!
Ever since Saitama became invincible, it was rare for him to meet someone who could surprise him.
“That guy should have a good score too, right? Maybe we’ll become colleagues in the future! I wonder if he’s easy to get along with…”
As Saitama was lost in thought, suddenly, a heavy footstep approached.
Saitama turned his head and saw his apprentice, Genos, striding over.
“Oh! Genos, you’re done too?”
“Yes,” Genos replied, “The physical test took a bit of time.”
Saitama couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity: “Did you really need to take the physical test? Your body data should be available already, right? …Anyway, how did your test go?”
Genos replied seriously, “The written and physical tests were both pretty boring.”
Saitama chuckled confidently, “True, the hero test was too easy.”
Genos continued his serious analysis.
“The written exam only had questions like that, so scoring full marks shouldn’t be a problem. The key is the physical test, but both you and I should pass it without issue!”
Saitama nodded, agreeing that Genos made a good point.
At that moment, Saitama suddenly froze and looked in another direction.
Genos followed his gaze and asked curiously, “Master, did you see someone you know?”
“Ah? Not really! But that guy is quite impressive. He should get a good result too,” Saitama said with a smile.
Genos was startled and looked again in the same direction, spotting a young man with an extraordinary demeanor.
It was Chen Ye!
Then, Genos’ electronic eyes quickly analyzed Chen Ye.
“Seems like just a normal person, but if Master thinks he’s great, he must be strong…”
“Yeah! He’s very strong!” Saitama said with certainty.
However, Saitama wasn’t particularly interested in fighting Chen Ye.
Although, in his eyes, Chen Ye had considerable strength and was the strongest human he’d seen so far (besides Saitama himself)!
Still, Saitama felt that one serious punch from him could kill Chen Ye…
…
Time flew by.
An hour passed in a flash.
A voice suddenly came through the speakers in the waiting room:
“…Thank you for your patience. The test results are in. Please proceed to the window to collect them.”
All the participants hurried to the window to get their test results and eagerly opened them.
When people saw their results, some cried, some laughed, and some cursed loudly, tearing their result slips into pieces before leaving.
The waiting room was in chaos.
Saitama and Genos retrieved their reports but didn’t open them immediately, returning to the corner where they had been resting.
Then, Genos opened his report.
“100 points!”
Genos said calmly, “It says I’ve been rated as an S-Class hero.”
“S-Class? What does that mean?”
Saitama, being a homebody, didn’t know what an S-Class hero represented…
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
“Rankings don’t matter at all…”
Genos remained expressionless, indifferent to his score, and then asked, “Master, how about your score?”
Curious about his own result, Saitama opened his envelope and slowly pulled out the report…
When he saw a letter partially showing, Saitama paused, then smiled: “This letter… looks like I’m S-Class too!”
“That’s to be expected!” Genos said with a smile, “With Master’s strength, being S-Class is normal. In fact, Master’s letter seems even bigger than mine. Truly impressive, Master!”
Hearing this, Saitama was pleased, a faint smile appearing on his normally blank face.
Suddenly, Genos asked, “By the way, Master, what questions did they ask you during the interview?”
“Interview?”
Saitama froze.
He remembered he wasn’t interviewed at all!
“Yeah!”
Genos recalled, “They asked me if we were the ones who destroyed the House of Evolution. I answered yes, and that was it.”
(In the original story, this interview was the reason Genos was exceptionally promoted to S-Class.)
Saitama became even more puzzled.
He had been the one to destroy the House of Evolution, so why wasn’t he interviewed?
Seeing Saitama’s confused expression, Genos asked, “Master, didn’t you take part in the interview?”
Before Saitama could answer, Genos seemed to figure something out and analyzed, “I get it. For someone like Master, there’s no need for an interview, right…”
At that moment, Genos noticed that Saitama’s face didn’t look quite right.
“Master?”
It turned out Saitama had fully opened his envelope and saw his score…
Saitama’s face darkened as he forced a smile: “Yeah! After all, I’m a 71-point C-Class, so of course I wasn’t eligible for an interview.”
Genos was stunned and couldn’t help but glance at Saitama’s report.
“So, the letter I saw earlier was just the top half of a ‘C,’ not an ‘S’?”
“Don’t analyze it!” Saitama snapped in frustration, “The point is, I’m only C-Class!!”
Genos finally realized the real issue, his expression turning serious: “How could Master only get 71 points? There must be a mistake. I’m going to complain to the officials!”
“No! Please don’t. It’s too embarrassing…”
Saitama sighed and pretended to be indifferent: “Well! C-Class is fine. At least I fulfilled my dream of becoming a hero…”
Although he said this, the bald hero’s face still showed some awkwardness.
His apprentice had gotten a perfect score and was an S-Class hero, but as the master, he was only 71 points and C-Class?
How embarrassing…
…
On the other side.
Chen Ye also got his report and frowned tightly.
96 points!
Assessment result: B-Class, ranked 24th!
This score was completely unexpected for Chen Ye.
Like Saitama, Chen Ye was very confident about his results.
In his mind, with his abilities, he should have at least been S-Class, right?
Unexpectedly, the Hero Association only gave him a B-Class rating?
And ranked 24th?
What the hell!!
What a joke!!
The mighty Lord Shura, taking part in the Hero Association’s test, only got a B-Class rating?
If word got out, it’d be beyond humiliating.
At that moment, Chen Ye’s thoughts were: What kind of nonsense Hero Association is this? The people who gave him this B-Class rating must have something wrong in their heads!
He couldn’t care less about the result in his hand.
However, the two people in front of him were full of envy!
“Mundo-kun, you’re amazing! To get a B-Class rating on your first try!” The Mohawk guy exclaimed.
Bee Man chimed in with admiration: “And ranked 24th in B-Class too! That’s a big deal among B-Class heroes.”
Chen Ye frowned, “It’s just B-Class. My goal is S-Class!”
Hearing this, the Mohawk guy finally noticed Chen Ye’s bad mood, realizing he was dissatisfied with his score.
“Mundo-kun, it’s nearly impossible to get an S-Class rating just from the test. Even if you got a perfect score, the best you’d get is an A-Class rating, and your ranking would still be quite low…”
“Oh?” Chen Ye asked curiously, “Why’s that?”
The Mohawk guy explained, “S-Class is the highest level in the Hero Association. Every S-Class hero is incredibly important. S-Class heroes hold great power, so they won’t just give the rank to anyone.”
“And I heard that for this test, some big figures set strict guidelines, so getting a good score is even harder…”
But Chen Ye remembered that in the original story, Genos got an S-Class rating just from the test!
“Then, is there any way to be promoted directly to S-Class through the test?” Chen Ye asked.
“It’s almost impossible.”
The Mohawk guy thought for a moment and added, “Unless all the higher-ups of the Hero Association unanimously agree and promote someone as an exception, that’s the only way to go straight to S-Class.”
Bee Man added, “Mundo-kun, with your strength, you just need to kill more monsters, and after a few years, you’ll definitely be promoted to S-Class.”
Hearing this, Chen Ye was speechless.
A few years?
He was only going to be in this world for a few months!
