Chapter 24: The Qualities of a Hero
I saw Zhong Mengfan jump down from a high building more than ten meters away without hesitation, skillfully releasing his supernatural power to slow himself down, and then landed steadily. I raised the corners of my mouth slightly, wanting to praise him.
"Doctor!" Zhong Mengfan obviously noticed me. Even though he was wearing a mask, I could still feel the joy in his steps. He ran quickly towards me.
I nodded to him and said, "I am the invigilator responsible for recording the results at the finish line this time."
"Wow, the doctor came here specially to be the invigilator and wait for me at the end for me. I'm so happy, haha." Zhong Mengfan laughed loudly behind the mask.
I didn't answer his question. I glanced down at his final score in my hand. It read, "Candidate #22, Link, achieved excellent results in the D-rank Pro Hero exam. Congratulations on passing the Pro Hero exam. Keep working hard to become even stronger."
"Yeah! Thank you, invigilator." Zhong Mengfan made a victory gesture after hearing the results.
His results were soon announced on the big screen, which immediately caused dissatisfaction from another candidate.
"Why did he pass the test even though he was so much slower than me and the others, while the rest of us were eliminated?"
I glanced at the other candidate's number plate to confirm his identity. "Candidate No. 23 is a strong contender. The key to winning this race isn't reaching the finish line the fastest, as you mentioned."
He kept asking, "What is that?"
I replied, "It's the most basic quality of being a professional hero."
He pointed at me rudely and said, "Then tell me, what is the most basic quality of a professional hero? I just saw Link No. 22 greet you, and you responded. You knew each other beforehand, right?"
Strong Arm questioned, "Under such circumstances, as the final invigilator of this exam, are you really fair to the candidates present here? Is the so-called professional hero quality just an excuse for you to perfunctorily deal with us?"
After Qiang Wan finished speaking, several candidates around him who were also eliminated in this exam also expressed doubts.
Candidate 1: "That's right. There's no standard for what constitutes a pro hero. We want to see evidence!"
Candidate 2: “That’s it!”
Candidate 3: "That's right, the professional hero exam requires absolute fairness and justice!"
Zhong Mengfan looked at the group of candidates without knowing what to do. He seemed not to have expected that his passing the exam would lead to such a situation.
I told the group of failed candidates, "The Pro Hero exams are, of course, fair and just. After all, if we arbitrarily allow those with insufficient abilities to pass and become Pro Heroes, it could end up costing innocent lives."
What I said of course made those who failed the exam even angrier.
Strong Arm said, "We need an explanation, otherwise I will expose the dark side of the Pro Hero Exam to the media!"
Candidate 4: “Right!”
I winked at the staff member in charge of adjusting the large screen to record the candidates' situation. "Show them the passing requirements for this exam—the qualities required to become a professional hero."
"yes."
The staff switched the image on the huge screen into many small pieces, and each small piece recorded the examination process of a candidate.
I looked at the screen and pointed the laser pointer at the screen belonging to the strong candidate and said, "Candidate No. 23, the strong candidate, when you arrived at the first destination, you ignored the woman who asked you for directions. When you arrived at the second destination, an elderly man next to you wanted you to help him cross the street, but you also ignored him. At the third destination, a robbery incident was staged by our staff. Did you do anything?"
…
The strong arm was silent.
"Okay, I think you already know why you didn't pass. I don't want to waste time describing in detail all the awkward gestures you displayed to reach the finish line quickly on the big screen."
"What about candidate No. 22, Link? What did he do? I haven't seen his exam process on the screen yet." Qiangwan still didn't give up.
I slowly raised my hand to signal the staff to change the big screen.
The big screen recomposed a single scene, showing Zhong Mengfan taking the test. He patiently answered questions from passersby and even helped an elderly man cross the street. All of this was played in fast forward. The most important scene was the one before the final destination, where he helped Xiao Xingyun defeat three criminals.
Although I often complain that Zhong Mengfan is a newbie who knows nothing, all his actions in the picture do reveal the prototype of a professional hero.
