Chapter 44 Reliable Partner
"Once A-rank heroes enter the examination room, their abilities will be suppressed, dropping them directly to D-rank, making them the same as you. Furthermore, there are additional restrictions: before the tenth move, they will only dodge and will not attack you."
Gao Yu's words caused some commotion among the candidates.
He continued, "Even if you can't defeat them after ten moves, you can still try to escape. If you defeat just one of them, you'll advance directly. Why not give it a try? Even if you fail, you can just try again next time."
"Retake the exam! No, no, I can spend the 300 hero points I saved up with great difficulty!" The person who spoke was Zhong Mengfan.
"Alright, I've explained the rules of this exam. It's up to you to choose which method to use to win. Now, the candidates will first pass through the portal opened by the black attendant, and the 12 A-rank heroes will follow. The exam will officially begin. I wish you all good luck."
After Gao Yu finished speaking, the black waiter raised his hand and pointed into the void, and a door appeared before everyone. Judging from the scene reflected in the door, it appeared to be an old, abandoned building.
Before entering the passage, Zhong Mengfan glanced in the direction of me and the other heroes, and our eyes met briefly.
Did he recognize me?
After I was transported to the examination room, I did not move.
According to the rules of the exam, I cannot take the initiative to look for Zhong Mengfan. I can only wait for Zhong Mengfan to find me, or mistakenly recognize someone else as me while looking for me and be eliminated.
To be honest, I was very skeptical whether Zhong Mengfan could recognize me.
The waiting process was quite boring. I wanted to take out my communicator and browse the Hero Mall to kill time. Then I remembered that before the exam, we all handed in our communicators under the instructions of the invigilator.
We placed the communicator on the waiter's tray. Among the colorful communicators with fancy decorations and trendy designs, my all-black communicator stood out.
"Xia Ye, your taste and preferences are really quite simple..."
I glanced at him and asked, "So what are you complaining about or complaining about my preferences?"
"Well, how can it be disdain? 'Simplicity' is a neutral word."
"Oh~" I uttered a single sound. "Indeed, it's just like you."
"I"
I nodded, stroking my chin. "Rather than saying I'm mentoring a newcomer and partner, it's more like I'm a junior who needs careful care. After all, you're only eighteen, so to me, you're completely childlike. Every time I watch your abilities improve, I feel like a parent watching their child grow up. Maybe, in the future, I can play the role of a good father."
Whether my aesthetic can be described as simple is another matter, but the fact is that Zhong Mengfan is only eighteen years old and has just reached adulthood.
Apparently, age is Zhong Mengfan's weakness. "I'm not a child! I'm an adult."
"Yeah, Link, the energetic new superhero who just turned eighteen and a month old."
Perhaps because my response was too perfunctory, Zhong Mengfan wiggled his index finger and pointed at me. "Ah! Although you agreed to let me call you by your name, in your heart you still treat me like a child."
"I will pass this exam, and then in the near future I will become your most reliable partner who doesn't need your 'care'." Zhong Mengfan said to me seriously, enunciating every word.
Then, Zhong Mengfan and I were led to different directions of the examination room by the person in charge of the examination.
The above was our last conversation before the exam.
Thinking of this, I raised the corners of my mouth slightly.
Come on, my most reliable partner in the future.
【Author has something to say】
I haven't spoken in a while~ The top's name was chosen from the beginning, and the bottom's name took a long time to think about before settling on the word "dream," since the top often uses dream powers. The previous article was a rough draft of tens of thousands of words, but the bottom's name was still a spacebar. I complained about how difficult naming was, and then I came up with the homophonic "zmf," which translates to "Zhong Mengfan," which can also be combined to form "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Haha, that's the perfect CP name for me! Love you, my dear readers, love me too today! Heart~
