**Chapter 3: I Choose the C-Class Hero Saitama!**
On the field.
All the senior students had gathered.
Looking out, there were hundreds of students, their dark uniforms creating a sea of people.
With such a large crowd, the noise of their chatter naturally filled the air, making the entire field feel chaotic.
Every student’s face was a mix of excitement, nervousness, and anticipation.
Because what was about to happen next…
…would determine their fate!
“Silence!”
A single stern voice echoed across the entire field.
It was as if the voice had been spoken directly into each student’s ear, causing their eardrums to throb and their heads to spin.
In an instant, countless students fell silent, turning their shocked gazes toward the podium.
A middle-aged man, without anyone noticing, had appeared on the stage.
“The principal’s Lion’s Roar technique has gotten even more powerful!”
“I wonder if I can pass the first round of the exam. If I can, I’m thinking about going down the warrior path.”
“If you’re aiming for the warrior path, then you should choose Silver Fang or Atomic Samurai as your hero target.”
“Come on, don’t try to trick me. I’m not even thinking about S-class heroes. The success rate is way too low. My goal is an A-class hero, one of Atomic Samurai’s disciples…”
Fang Ye overheard two students quietly discussing beside him.
At this moment, the principal’s voice rose from the stage:
“Students, today is your college entrance exam. Whether you become a dragon or a worm depends entirely on how you perform in the coming moments… Teachers from prestigious universities are already waiting at the Hero’s Sanctuary, including Wushen Academy. They’ve brought special admission quotas with them, so if you perform well, you’ll get into a top-tier school! Do you understand?”
“We understand!”
Hundreds of students shouted in unison, their voices loud and unified, creating an impressive scene.
Many students, upon hearing the words “Wushen Academy,” had excitement written all over their faces.
After all, it was the best university in the country!
“Very good!”
The principal nodded in satisfaction and pointed toward the school gates, where buses were parked. “All students, follow your class teacher and board the bus. We are heading to the Hero’s Sanctuary!”
…
In every city, there is a branch of the *One Punch Man* forbidden zone.
Twenty minutes later.
The buses arrived at the outskirts, stopping near a massive building.
“Students, we’ve arrived. Line up, follow me off the bus, and don’t get separated!”
The class teacher shouted from the front and was the first to step off the bus.
Fang Ye followed his classmates, lining up as they disembarked.
At that moment, the parking lot around them was already filled with other teachers and students. The atmosphere was lively.
Clearly, today being exam day had drawn all the senior students from the entire city here.
However, what captivated Fang Ye wasn’t the bustling crowd but the massive building before them!
The building stood about twenty meters tall, shaped like a pyramid, with a broad base and doors on all four sides.
This was the “Hero’s Sanctuary!”
Almost every student looked at the Hero’s Sanctuary with a sense of longing…
After ensuring all their students were off the bus, the class teacher shouted, “Everyone, follow me closely and don’t get lost.”
With faces full of anticipation, the students followed their teacher towards the sanctuary.
Inside, they entered a vast hall where countless students were already lining up.
Fang Ye could see in the center of the hall was a glowing door, and one by one, students were walking into it under the guidance of teachers, emerging a few minutes later.
Those who succeeded came out with joyous expressions.
Most, however, looked dejected…
Clearly, resonating with a hero wasn’t easy.
…
“Purple? That’s an A-class hero!”
“Someone resonated with an A-class hero!”
Suddenly, Fang Ye heard gasps of surprise from the crowd around him. Even the teachers looked excited.
Fang Ye immediately turned his gaze toward the glowing door.
At that moment, the door was shining with a brilliant purple light.
A girl with a cold demeanor stepped out from the door.
Then, Fang Ye saw several teachers rush towards her, surrounding her as they seemed to ask her questions.
‘So, the purple glow indicates a successful resonance with an A-class hero. Then the green glow must indicate success with a B-class hero, right?’
‘I’ve heard that when someone successfully resonates with an S-class hero, the light will turn red.’
‘What color would appear if someone resonated with a C-class hero?’
As Fang Ye pondered this, he glanced around and noticed that many students were looking at the girl surrounded by teachers with envy in their eyes.
…
About half an hour later.
Finally, it was Fang Ye’s class’s turn to take the exam.
During this time, a few more students in the hall had resonated with A-class heroes, their results indicated by purple lights.
However, those lucky students were all from other schools.
This left the teachers from Fang Ye’s school quietly holding their breath.
“Class, don’t be nervous. Go for the hero target you have in mind. The teacher believes in you… Tan Wenbin, you go first!”
Tan Wenbin was the class president, known for his strong will and outstanding performance in school.
The teacher clearly saw Tan Wenbin as a promising candidate, hoping that he would resonate successfully and boost the morale of the other students.
Upon hearing the teacher’s voice, Tan Wenbin immediately stepped forward and entered the glowing door.
However, resonating with a hero wasn’t just about willpower.
Sometimes, luck played a huge role as well…
A moment later.
Tan Wenbin stepped out of the door, his face full of disappointment.
The glowing door remained unchanged.
Clearly, he had failed to resonate!
The teacher’s expression changed; his plan had backfired.
“Zhao Fangfang, you’re next!”
Without paying further attention to the failure, the teacher called out again.
Unfortunately, Zhao Fangfang, too, failed…
After two consecutive failures, not only did the other students’ morale take a hit, but the teacher also began to lose heart.
“Everyone… just line up.”
One by one, the students walked into the glowing door, and one by one, they failed.
Soon, it was Fang Ye’s turn…
…
