บท 334: Joint Assessment - Part 2
Hunting beasts was what Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun did every day, so the mission was not difficult for them.
Four hours after they left the headquarters, they returned with a bag of something on their backs.
When the two of them arrived, there was a large crowd at the entrance. The crowd blocked the entrance and the two boys could not go through.
The crowd was not the evaluation participants, but reporters. The cameramen surrounded the reporters and the reporters surrounded one person.
Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun looked at each other. There were no reporters at the opening and there was a large crowd of them. This made the two boys curious as to what they had come for.
"Do you want to see?" Kang Dong-Woo was attracted by the crown and wanted to see it.
"Xu Lingxun was also curious, but he decided not to get involved in such a big crowd.
"Hmm, that's right. I heard that the new system allows us to jump in rank without needing the contribution point."
Kang Dong-Woo did not think much about the crowd and agreed with Xu Lingxun's idea.
In the middle of the crowd, Ryan White stood in his casual clothes. The one surrounded by the reporters was the missing Ryan White.
His presence caught the reporters' attention. As soon as his whereabouts became known, the reporters immediately swarmed around him.
"Where did you go after the Challenger battle?"
"Why did you come here? Will you participate in the re-evaluation test?"
"What do you think of President Xing? Do you approve of the new reform?"
"Have you recovered from your injuries?"
Similar questions were thrown at Ryan White at the same time. More than ten reporters shouted the same question at him.
Ryan White did not answer as he scanned the reporters around him. He looked at them with his cold eyes.
Ryan White's response shocked the reporters. He was known to be friendly to everyone, including the media. Such a cold response surprised the reporters.
"I am here to take the revaluation test, and yes, I am extremely well! Now you can get lost, you blocked my way!"
The reporters unconsciously took a few steps back after receiving such a cold and rude response.
They could not believe it at first because they thought they had heard wrong. That thought changed when they met Ryan White's cold gaze.
The reporters immediately backed away, leaving a path for Ryan White to enter.
"Ah, it's Ryan White!" Kang Dong-Woo exclaimed when he heard the commotion.
"That's strange, didn't he disagree with the reform? Then why is he taking the test?" Xu Lingxun had the least favorable impression of Ryan White since he publicly challenged his master.
"Ah, you are right. I wonder why?" Kang Dong-Woo nodded his head.
They talked as they walked into the arena.
They walked over to the desk with the male attendant they had met earlier. The male staff member was also quick with the reception and immediately approached the two of them.
"Welcome back, how can I help you?" The male staffer greeted them with a smile and a bow.
"We have completed the mission and are here to deliver the evidence!" Kang Dong-Woo placed the bag in front of the male staff.
Xu Lingxun nodded his head as he placed his bag next to Kang Dong-Woo's.
The male staff was surprised as the two teenagers were among the first group to complete the mission.
As expected from President Xing's disciple.
The male staff nodded and opened the bag to check the evidence. There were twenty Silver Wolf heads inside the bag.
He nodded and checked the next bag. The same Silver Wolf heads were stacked inside the bag.
"Good, you both pass the test. Wait a moment, I will mark your mission as complete."
The male employee went back to his desk. He typed something on his computer and not long after, a beep came from Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun's smartwatch.
They looked down and saw a notification from the official Hero League app. They tapped on the notification.
[Congratulations! You have passed the Apprentice Hero assessment!]
[Do you want to take the Iron Class Hero exam? Yes/No?]
The male employee stayed behind his desk as he looked at the two teenagers. He was wondering if the two of them would take the next test or not.
Xu Lingxun and Kang Dong-Woo clicked the "Yes" button without hesitation.
[Evaluation Mission (Iron Class Hero)]
Objective:
1. Hunt down any twenty Silver Class Beasts or kill ten Level 1 Specters!
2. Defeat or gain the approval of the Barrier Class
Time limit: 24 hours
Mission Type: One-person mission
Xu Lingxun read it with a furrowed brow. For Goal No. 1, he had no choice but to hunt twenty Silver Class Beasts.
Specters were hard to find, and with a time limit, hunting the Silver Class Beasts was the best choice.
However, he did not understand Goal #2. Barrier Class? This was the first time he heard this term.
Xu Lingxun approached the male staff. Before he could ask, the male staff explained it to him.
"First, you can choose to either hunt twenty Silver Class Beasts or kill ten Level 1 Specters. For the latter, the Hero League has prepared the ghosts for you to judge."
"It's a limited choice because we only have a limited number of Specters. If you choose to kill the Specters, we will take you to the special arena to complete the test!
"Second, the Barrier Class is a person we choose to be your opponent to rank up. You have to defeat him to level up, or you can also gain the approval of the Barrier Class in the battle."
"Also, the Barrier Class is different for everyone, the two of you may face a different Barrier Class later. It might be a Hero or even a Hero Instructor."
The new system was completely different from the old one. It was completely new and harder to level up because they might also face a Hero Instructor.
"Then we will choose to kill the specters for the first objective!" Kang Dong-Woo immediately decided in their favor. He believed that Xu Lingxun would make the same choice as him.
However, the male staff did not immediately lead them to the special arena. He turned to Xu Lingxun. Of course, he had to ask Xu Lingxun's permission first.
"Mnn, I decided to kill the specters as well," Xu Lingxun nodded.
'It seems that these two would be chosen as members of the SES' he thought.
The objective of killing the specter was not to increase the difficulty of the evaluation but to select the new members of the Specter Extermination Squad.
It would automatically increase the difficulty of the assessment for whoever took it. However, they would be well rewarded by joining the elite squad.
The male staffer was not surprised by their choice, but he was astonished. Both of them were barely fifteen years old, but they were bold enough to choose this option.
But of course, it was only the male staff's misunderstanding. Heero never told his students about the content of the evaluation or the SES.
The reason why the two of them chose this option was that it would take less time to complete the mission since they would not have to go outside the city to hunt the beast. This simple reasoning made them choose this option.
The male staff led them into a room. Inside, a few participants were sitting on the chair.
"We only have three specialized arenas, so you will have to wait according to your turn. This is the waiting room, and you can register there first," the male staff pointed to the desk with a female behind it.
After that, the male staff left the waiting room. Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun went to the desk.
Halfway to the desk, the door leading to the specialized arena opened, and two doors opened at the same time.
Both of them had surprised expressions when they saw who came out of the door. Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata came out of another door together.
Musashi Hirata had his usual expressionless face, while Sun Zhou Yi was smiling as usual.
"Ah, you are here as well!" Sun Zhou Yi walked in the direction of Xu Lingxun and Kang Dong-Woo.
"Senior Brother!" Both of them shouted at the same time.
Musashi Hirata replied with a nod while Sun Zhou Yi rubbed his hair, "Good luck with your evaluation!"
"Yes!" Both replied enthusiastically.
After exchanging greetings, Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata left the waiting room.
As soon as they left, a surprised voice filled the room.
"Wow, you killed all the specters in less than a minute!"
"I heard that killing fifty level 5 Specters is one of the main goals to reach Emperor Class!"
"Those two are monsters! I came to finish my Iron Class evaluation, and they just finished an Emperor Class evaluation!"
Praise for Sun Zhou Yi and Musashi Hirata filled the waiting room.
Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun were also shocked. Not because of the time it took them to finish the evaluation, but because their senior brothers were evaluating the Emperor Class Hero. They were speeding through the trial with unbelievable speed.
"We can't lose to them. We must at least pass the Silver Class examination!" For some reason, Kang Dong-Woo was pumped up for the upcoming evaluation.
*** ***
Musashi Hirata and Sun Zhou Yi walked side by side. They have the same goal and purpose.
"I wonder who's the class barrier for the final examination?" Sun Zhou Yi could not help but ask.
"I also wonder..." Musashi Hirata replied with short words.
"Maybe it's Grandmaster Myung-Chul? I heard that he also received some secret techniques from Master," Sun Zhou Yi said his guess.
"I don't know, but we'll know soon. That person is behind that door!"
Both of them had arrived at the last arena. They only needed to break the last class barrier, and then they would get their ranks back.
Sun Zhou Yi took the lead and opened the door. It was a special arena that was built with strong improved steel.
As soon as they entered the arena, they saw a person standing in the middle of the arena. The figure was looking at them and they immediately recognized the figure.
Heero was the last class barrier they had to pass to finish their evaluations.
