Chapter 90 The Best Hero
I suddenly became curious about Zhong Mengfan's nightmare. It is actually a very simple thing for me to dig out the secrets of a psychic whose strength is not even A-level, but I still resisted the urge to spy at this moment.
Because Zhong Mengfan is neither an insignificant person who I don’t need to care about, nor an enemy or opponent who poses a threat to me. He is my disciple.
So I slightly raised my tone, with subtle hints, to help Zhong Mengfan calm down and make his goals clearer.
I spread my palms out before him, and his eyes naturally followed my movements before he slowly clenched them into fists. "Being afraid shows how much you care and value this. So, of course, you should do everything you can to hold on to what you already have. Keep getting stronger until no one can influence you or shake everything you care about."
There was no hesitation about becoming a professional hero. Even if it had been an accident, having inherited the Ranger's special abilities, Zhong Mengfan had no room for retreat, no chance of quitting.
"Summer night."
"What's up"
I thought my hypnosis would be effective immediately. Zhong Mengfan, who already had this goal and was working towards it, would be like a chicken with its blood pumped up. He would start asking me about the B-level upgrade exam and preparing for new training.
But he said to me, “It’s a great thing to meet you.”
I:
My mental suggestion didn't work?
Perhaps it is because Zhong Mengfan is the successor of the legendary hero Ranger, and is a more special existence than ordinary psychics.
Seeing that he finally cheered up a bit, I continued, "Well, as your mentor, I will help you become one of the best pro heroes."
"Xia Ye, why did you become a professional hero?" Zhong Mengfan suddenly asked.
I answered naturally, "Because being a professional hero is a respectable, socially prestigious, and very cool profession."
He seemed to have not expected to hear such an answer. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just, like this."
"Yeah, that's all."
He grumbled, "That's not a cool answer at all. At least you should say it's for justice, or that you want to use your abilities to help more people, and establish a more noble image for the younger generation."
"Those are all lies," I asked. "So, what about you? You were forced into becoming a professional hero. What do you think now?"
"My goal... initially was to become Mr. Ranger's successor, because that was everyone's wish." He looked confused. "But after becoming a pro hero, I didn't really pay much attention to Mr. Ranger's deeds. My time was completely taken up by training and missions just to transform from an ordinary, clueless person into a pro hero."
When I stopped and started thinking about this, the face of Mr. Ranger when he took off his mask became a little blurry in my memory..."
Zhong Mengfan looked at me again and said, "Now, it's better to say that it's because you, Xia Ye, have been constantly urging me forward and pulling me forward that I am able to move forward without slacking off."
At this point, his demeanor changed. "I want to be a professional hero like you."
"Well, what kind of professional hero am I in your mind?" I asked curiously.
To be honest, I know my situation best. Everything I have now can be summed up in one sentence.
"You're decisive and never hesitate. It's as if you always know what you should do. You also have excellent judgment and always make the right choices. It's like you can easily accomplish any difficult task."
Zhong Mengfan paused for a moment, then blushed and said, "Besides, he looks so handsome when he's fighting with a weapon. Really, really, he's a very powerful hero. Xia Ye, it's a bit strange to say this, but I admire you very much."
I propped my chin up with my hand and smiled. "Ah, although what you said is what I like to hear. But, aren't you adding too many filters to me?"
He recalled, "When I was a kid, I watched the stories of professional heroes on TV. Like everyone else, I thought that people with special abilities and heroes were all very powerful people. However, it's not so easy for ordinary people to get to know a hero. Because the distance is so great, it always feels unreal. Heroes, including the ranger who gave me my abilities, are actually more like real people, but urban legends that ordinary people can't encounter."
I chuckled, "Urban legend? It's an interesting term indeed." Just like when the psychics first appeared in this world, they created many legends, both good and bad, that ordinary people could not imagine.
Zhong Mengfan continued in an extremely serious tone, "Until you appeared and became my guide. Whether it was when I first observed you from the perspective of an ordinary person, or now that you have officially become a professional hero, you are the most charming hero I have ever met."
I tilted my head slightly, puzzled. "Why are you suddenly giving me so many cheesy compliments?"
His lips lifted slightly, revealing a shallow dimple. "Because I realized that knowing you is really a very lucky thing. I am expressing my gratitude to you."
"Oh, you're welcome."
"Everyone always longs to get close to the superheroes they like and admire, and even regards it as a dream. Actually, if you think about it this way, I have already realized this dream."
“Hmm,” I uttered a single sound.
Zhong Mengfan looked at me and said, "We are partners. If we say partners, it can also be understood that Xia Ye is now my exclusive hero."
I sipped my coffee, not immediately responding to Zhong Mengfan's words. I could tell he was feeling a bit dependent on me, but there were no permanent partnerships between pro heroes. When Zhong Mengfan became an A-rank hero, he and I would naturally separate and go our separate ways. Besides, being intimate with an A-rank hero for a long time wouldn't be beneficial for me.
I had just finished my coffee and put down the cup, and I generously praised her, "The coffee you brew is becoming more and more to my taste. It's delicious."
My compliment made Zhong Mengfan very happy. He smiled again and said, "I will always make coffee for you."
Zhong Mengfan took the empty cup from my hand and said, "I'll give you another one."
"Okay, thank you."
After thanking me, I said to Zhong Mengfan, who was pouring coffee, "You will inherit the title of Ranger, Zhong Mengfan. I also told you that you will become a better hero than me. You should believe in yourself more."
He rubbed his cheek and said, "Even though you said that, becoming a better hero than you... it's hard for me to imagine it right now." He looked up at me seriously and said, "In my heart, Xia Ye is the best, the best superhero."
"How could that be? You just need to work hard and master the ranger's special ability, the heart of justice. You will definitely surpass me."
After all, even my identity as a professional hero is fake...
