"Compared to S-class hero talents, A-class hero talents are far inferior."

"However, the success rate of matching with A-class heroes is correspondingly much higher. According to statistics from authoritative departments, the highest success rate for matching with S-class heroes is less than five percent. The higher their ranking, the lower the success rate. As for matching with A-class heroes, the highest success rate is close to twenty percent!"

"Next, let me talk about the talents and abilities of some A-class heroes..."

"As for B-class heroes, aside from the female hero B1, who has decent talent, the other heroes all have poor talents..."

"As for C-class heroes... I don't think anyone would choose a C-class hero, right? Countless past cases have already proven that C-class heroes have no talents whatsoever. They are universally acknowledged as useless heroes!"

"If anyone still wants to use a C-class hero as their matching target, my personal suggestion is that they visit a psychiatric hospital and have their brain checked..."

The teacher's words fell.

A burst of laughter immediately erupted in the classroom.

Back when the Hero Meteorite had first fallen onto Blue Star, quite a few people had chosen to match with C-class heroes.

That was because the success rate for matching with C-class heroes was extremely high!

But the result was that C-class heroes had no talents at all.

Even if they successfully matched with the top-ranked C1 hero, they could only gain a little extra courage...

When facing the terrifying monsters beyond the city walls, courage alone would only make someone cannon fodder sooner.

Now.

The fact that C-class heroes were useless had become common knowledge.

The teacher continued, "Everyone only has one chance to match with a hero, and that is at the age of eighteen. This is also your chance to change your fate! Although the success rate for matching with C-class heroes is extremely high, nearly one hundred percent, wasting such an important opportunity merely to obtain a ticket into the secret realm is an incredibly foolish act!"

"Those who matched with C-class heroes in the past basically all died in the secret realms. The only survivor, I heard, was sent to prison last month after pretending to be a female streamer to scam money from his top donor."

Upon hearing this.

The students burst into laughter again.

What the teacher had just mentioned had also been fairly big news last month.

It was said that the survivor had used sinister makeup techniques to deceive his top donor for a long time, and had even tricked him into falling in love. The two eventually arranged to get a hotel room together. It was only after their pants were off that the top donor discovered that his dream goddess had pulled out something even bigger than his!

Chen Ye did not know about this.

Even if he had known, he would not have cared.

Because at this moment, he was extremely excited.

These people did not understand the true protagonist of the anime One-Punch Man, which was why they believed all C-class heroes were useless.

But he was different!

He knew that the protagonist who had been invincible from the moment he appeared, absurdly powerful beyond reason, was hidden among the C-class heroes.

Just how strong was the Bald Demon King?

Even people who had watched the entire anime One-Punch Man could not say for sure.

One punch parted the Earth's hair down the middle...

One punch shattered a world-ending meteorite...

He casually jumped from the Moon back to Earth...

The cosmic overlord capable of blowing up planets had only a single breath left after being hit by the aftershock of his Serious Punch...

Everyone only knew that this protagonist had broken the limiter, meaning there was no upper limit to his strength.

Even the name of the anime had been based on his power.

Although the Bald Demon King had used Serious Punch before, that was only the power he displayed when he got slightly serious. It was far from the destructive force of his full-power limit.

When watching other anime, people hoped the protagonist could grow stronger, protect the other supporting characters, defeat the final boss sooner, and bring peace back to the world.

When watching One-Punch Man, everyone only hoped the villains would be more sensible and not provoke that bald man...

Those S-class heroes.

Even if they all attacked together, they could not possibly be a match for the Bald Demon King.

Perhaps they could not even withstand the Bald Demon King's Serious Punch...

All of this.

For now, only Chen Ye knew.

What excited Chen Ye even more was that the teacher had just said the success rate for matching with C-class heroes was nearly one hundred percent!

So this is the Golden Finger of a transmigrator? This is... too exciting!

Chen Ye's face flushed red with excitement.

He had already decided that the hero he would match with this time would be the C-class hero: Bald Demon King!

As for whether people would laugh at him?

He did not care.

As long as he inherited the Bald Demon King's godlike physique and combined it with that unique training method, he would become utterly invincible throughout the entire world in three years.

This world was far too dangerous.

At any time, monsters could breach the City Defense Wall and take human lives.

Only by mastering invincible power could Chen Ye feel at ease.

Right, the Bald Demon King was promoted to B-class in the second season... I need to make sure. I can't get this wrong.

Thinking of this.

Chen Ye secretly took out his phone, turned it on beneath the desk, and searched for relevant information.

It had been so many years since heroes became available for matching, so naturally there was an endless amount of information online.

Very quickly, Chen Ye found the list of all heroes.

When he saw that distinctive bald head in the C-class hero list, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The Bald Demon King is still C-class. It looks like the mysterious hero-matching event is using the first-season version after all.

The first season is great! The success rate for matching with C-class heroes is nearly one hundred percent. This is fantastic...

Right, that Extinction Master said earlier that many people had once chosen C-class heroes for matching. Maybe someone had picked the Bald Demon King before. Could it be that they never discovered the Bald Demon King's secret?

"Perhaps merely obtaining the Bald Demon King's physique is useless. Maybe one has to use the training method created by the Bald Demon King himself in order to increase their strength? Is that why no one else knows?"

Chen Ye secretly speculated as he looked at his phone.

He did not know that his distraction had already been noticed by the teacher at the podium.

However, the teacher merely frowned and did not scold Chen Ye on the spot.

"It's about time. Everyone, go gather on the field... Chen Ye, stay behind!"

Everyone glanced at Chen Ye before leaving the classroom.

Chen Ye looked stunned. He had no idea why this teacher wanted him to stay behind.

Of course, he did not feel the slightest bit nervous or afraid.

After all, before transmigrating, he had struggled in society for many years. He was mentally mature, so naturally he would not fear a teacher.

After all the students had left the classroom, the teacher looked at Chen Ye and finally said in disappointment, "Chen Ye, what is going on with you? Why did you choose an A-class hero as your matching target?"

"Your father turned the tide all by himself back then and stopped the monster invasion. He was a battle hero and the pride of our city!"

"As his son, even if you aren't confident about matching with other S-class heroes, you should at least not give up on the hero S3. Your father successfully matched with S3 back then, which was how he achieved what he has today!"

"According to expert research, as his son, if you also choose S3 as your matching target, your success rate will be several times higher than everyone else's. Are you really going to give up such a great opportunity?"

"Do you know that even the school leadership and the city officials have placed great hopes on you?"
