Chapter 46: Flying is amazing

I didn't want to continue listening to Zhong Mengfan complaining to me, but now I could neither speak nor write, so I could only stand in front of him and wave.

He sighed and touched his forehead. "Yes, yes, this topic is over."

I pointed to the room outside the warehouse and turned to look at Zhong Mengfan. Given his personality, he would probably be more willing to complete the first mission of rescuing the hostages with me and meet the conditions for passing the level.

Sure enough, he said, "Ah, we found Xia Ye. Now we can go look for the hostages together."

We walked out of the warehouse. Apart from the sound of each other's footsteps, the place was completely silent and deserted.

Zhong Mengfan said, "Honestly, I really don't like the environment here. It's like a dream, just you and me. You either defeat me or you slaughter me. This atmosphere makes me even more nervous, and it really doesn't help me maintain my level and ability in the exam."

Under the mask, I raised my eyebrows slightly, wrapped my clenched fist with my left hand, and squeezed it hard, making a cracking sound.

At the same time, I said to myself: If you think this way and say it out loud, it must be because you haven't been beaten enough during training.

Seeing my actions, Zhong Mengfan subconsciously took a few steps back.

At this moment, another candidate appeared from another direction. The man next to him was wearing the same black combat uniform and mask as me. It seemed that he had also successfully found his recommender.

"Xia Ye, let's follow the plan and look for the hostages."

I nodded. Zhong Mengfan would decide what method to use to pass the exam.

In fact, my role in this exam was minimal. I was just a tool, nothing more.

Zhong Mengfan controlled the airflow around him, preparing to use his not-so-experienced flying skills to avoid another candidate who was getting closer and closer to us.

Unfortunately, the other candidate had completely opposite ideas from Zhong Mengfan.

"Look, what have we found?" He glanced at the number tag on Zhong Mengfan's body. "Candidate No. 10, I remember your name is Link, right?

The awakening of superpowers is called the next form of human evolution by the people. Although this statement has not been officially recognized, the idea that having superpowers can make one become a superior person has been engraved in the cognition of most people today.

Therefore, those who have awakened special abilities, especially professional heroes among them, usually have a strong desire to perform.

While fighting crime and upholding justice, they are also warmongers and militants.

Zhong Mengfan ignored his opponent. When the candidate called out his heroic alias, Link, he had already activated his supernatural powers and was suspended in mid-air.

Perhaps it's because he's being treated as an opponent and clearly ignored. Or perhaps the ability to fly has always been a key criterion in every popular superhero poll. "He can fly!" is often synonymous with cool and handsome, always attracting a wave of superhero fans to vote for the hero with this skill.

Therefore, his tone of voice was very bad. "Damn! It's so great that you can fly!"

Hearing his words, Zhong Mengfan, who was already in mid-air, quickly responded, "Of course!"

Zhong Mengfan's answer immediately attracted a wave of hatred. The opponent instantly pulled out the chain from his waist, threw it towards Zhong Mengfan, and successfully wrapped it around Zhong Mengfan's right hand.

Of course, ordinary chain weapons could not touch Zhong Mengfan who had already flown into the air. What this candidate was holding in his hand was obviously a companion weapon that belonged to him alone.

When a psychic awakens, due to their abilities, they have a chance to obtain their own extraordinary items, which are even more precious than the ability to fly. The black longsword in my hand, which can be transformed at will, is also known as my companion weapon and is the exclusive symbol of the A-rank hero Night Demon. Of course, it is also fake, just like my identity.

"Come down! Come and fight." He pulled hard, but failed to pull Zhong Mengfan down. However, he also prevented Zhong Mengfan from flying any further.

"I didn't agree to accept your challenge. I was just about to continue the exam task of finding hostages with my partner." Zhong Mengfan was obviously refusing.

"I, my lord, will defeat you, whether you accept it or not. Remember my name, I'm Nebula Chain Hand!"

"Haha, don't you know that shorter superhero names are easier to remember? Newbie, why don't you call yourself Andromeda?" Zhong Mengfan, who is also a newbie, mocked another newbie rudely.

I think Zhong Mengfan’s complaints are boring, but in the ears of Nebula Chain Hand, it is a provocative and full-scale trash talk.

"Damn it! You know shit! I just mistook Shun for a girl when I was watching the Saint Seiya cartoon as a kid. After I found out he was a boy, I said with disgust: The author is a lesbian and drew men to look effeminate. Who knew that he would awaken this ability after puberty, and even the color of his hair changed!" Nebula Chain Hand was obviously very resentful about this.

In this world, people awaken various kinds of superpowers, and the ways of awakening are also different.

Extremely rare are those who win the genetic lottery and inherit the strongest abilities from both parents. Others are less fortunate and inherit a strange ability that diverges from the family's abilities. There are also those whose parents are both powerful Awakeners, yet none of their children awaken before reaching adulthood—unfortunate children.

There are also cases like the Nebula Chain Hand, which was caused by a completely unintentional remark or a fleeting thought in childhood, but suddenly awakened related abilities during adolescence.

It can be said that before awakening, the psychic himself has no idea what kind of extraordinary abilities he will gain.

Nebula Chainhand said that the color of his hair changed because of his awakening, which means that his current black hair was dyed. He wore a mask and although his way of speaking was rude, the voice he made was very neutral. In addition, his figure was thinner than that of ordinary men... I'm afraid that his entire appearance has changed towards the Shun among the Saint Seiya because of his awakening.

The chain he swung out tightened, and his whole body was dragged by the chain, rushing towards Zhong Mengfan in mid-air. It seemed that this battle was inevitable.
