Chapter 20 The So-called Internal Appointment

Zhong Mengfan put on his coat again and said, "Doctor, are you bullying me again? Also, I've already prepared breakfast."

Because his parents died early, Zhong Mengfan learned to take care of himself independently at an early age. He is very good at cleaning and other skills of living alone. Even though I am a bit picky about food, I have to admit that Zhong Mengfan is very talented in cooking.

"Doctor, before breakfast, I have something I want to show you."

"Well, what do you want to see?"

Zhong Mengfan placed an empty Coke bottle on the table and walked over to me. "I've come up with a new way to use my special abilities."

After he finished speaking, he raised his fingers to make a gun shape, moved his fingers, and with a "puff" sound, the Coke bottle on the table was hit and bounced up and fell to the ground.

Zhong Mengfan was a little proud. "The airflow bomb I created could be even more powerful. I read the Dragon Ball comics when I was a kid, and I think I can compress the airflow and simulate the Kamehameha technique from the comics.

However, my current abilities are limited, and I might become exhausted after using this move once, and I don't know how powerful the compressed airflow will be when released again."

I stroked my chin and praised, "Your idea is very good. We can try it in our dreams tonight."

Zhong Mengfan seemed very happy to receive my affirmation. He took out the prepared breakfast from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. "Then let's have breakfast, doctor."

"Well, thank you very much for breakfast." I picked up the coffee on the table and prepared to add sugar.

"I already added sugar."

"Thanks."

Zhong Mengfan pushed the bread in front of me. "Doctor."

I took a sip of coffee and said, "Hmm"

He asked, "What kind of content will be tested in the D-class hero exam? Will there be a written exam? What will the written exam cover?"

Zhong Mengfan is about to face the first hero level assessment test in his life. Only by passing the test can Zhong Mengfan officially become a D-level professional hero from an apprentice hero.

I said, "I don't know."

Zhong Mengfan looked at me with suspicion. "How could you not know? Hasn't the doctor ever taken the D-class hero exam?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I haven't participated."

He raised his voice slightly. "How is that possible? Don't all professional heroes have to take exams? After reaching D-rank, there are C, B, A, and finally the most difficult Legendary rank. Each level gets harder and harder, and the pass rate keeps getting lower and lower."

"When I graduated from the Academy for Superpowers, I was judged to have A-level strength, so I took the exam to become an A-level hero and passed it on my first try."

Zhong Mengfan covered his heart, his face showing a deep shock and hurt. "Doctor, the way you looked at me when you just said that was the deepest contempt of a top student for a poor student, right?"

I added another packet of sugar to my coffee. "You seem to be over-interpreting me. But it's not a bad thing to recognize your own shortcomings and not overestimate yourself."

"No, doctor, every word you say now is like a knife stabbing me in the back, full of deep malice towards this useless student."

"Oh, isn't it because I consider myself a poor student that I'm too sensitive?"

"Absolutely not!" he refused to admit.

"Then tell me something that is good news for you."

Hearing the words "good news", Zhong Mengfan immediately regained his spirits and curiosity. "What is it?"

I put down my coffee cup, looked at him, and said, "You have the ability of a ranger, so you are different from others - you are destined to become a professional hero."

"Predetermined." His eyes lit up. "That means I can at least pass the D-class hero exam this time, right?"

I shook my head. "What the internal appointment means is that you can't pursue any other careers in your life except being a professional hero. Even if you fail the exam once, there will be another one soon, and the next time, you will have more opportunities than others."

Zhong Mengfan had a devastated expression on his face, and said with despair, "What kind of internal appointment is this? Constantly taking make-up exams is simply the most terrible curse for a poor student!"

He angrily grabbed the bread on the table and bit it hard, venting his dissatisfaction.

Seeing his expression, I laughed again "You'll pass."

"Hmm" He stopped biting the bread, his mouth was stuffed with food, like some kind of rodent.

"After all, I've been training you for several months, and the results are remarkable. You've made rapid progress, and passing the D-level exam will be no problem at all, Zhong Mengfan." I finished my coffee and complimented him, "Your coffee is delicious."

"Thank you for the compliment, doctor!" After being affirmed by me, Zhong Mengfan grinned happily, with bread crumbs on his teeth, looking silly and cute.

Then I realized it belatedly and said, "So...the make-up exam or something, is the doctor lying to me again?" QAQ

"You can guess. After passing the D-Class Hero exam, you must work even harder. Becoming a D-Class Hero is just the beginning. Therefore, all the professional heroes who became Rangers before you were, without exception, legendary-level esper."

He continued weakly, following my words, "I know... After passing D-level, there are three more promotion exams: C, B, and A. Then there's the Legendary level."
