Certified C-Class Hero

"Seven hundred kilograms? I doubt anyone can break that record, it's terrifying! Who even is this guy?"

In the Hero Examination's sixth testing ground, gasps of astonishment continued to erupt. Meanwhile, Wu Di had also reached his limit.

Boom~ The barbell landed heavily on the ground, and Wu Di felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

"Phew~ It seems this is my limit. And I only managed this thanks to the recovery ability of my Immortality. The road to becoming the strongest on Earth is still very long."

During the recent weightlifting, Wu Di's body had already given out at seven hundred kilograms, his muscles beginning to tear.

However, thanks to the terrifying recovery of his Immortality, he managed to endure it. Anyone else would have likely been crippled.

"Masked Hero Wu Di? This guy really is something else."

In the Hero Headquarters' conference room, Jace nodded slightly as he watched the situation in the testing ground on the screen. Over the years, the number of people wanting to join the Hero Association had steadily increased.

However, the quality was a concern. The vast majority participated in the examination with mere admiration for heroes, and very few could actually pass.

At this moment, on the other side of the sixth testing ground, Wu Di's weightlifting record was broken. Saitama effortlessly lifted a one-thousand-kilogram barbell with one hand, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded.

The most unfortunate were the contestants who were grouped with Saitama. Their confidence was severely shaken, and most chose to withdraw.

"I wonder what my ranking will be this time."

Wu Di thought to himself. He remembered that in the original story, although Saitama ranked first in the physical fitness test, he only placed at the bottom of C-Class due to his disastrous written exam.

In the subsequent examination items, Wu Di deservedly became the first in his group. Even Kubos, who was in the same group, couldn't surpass him despite giving his all and eventually gave up.

Ultimately, Wu Di secured second place in the physical fitness test results. Saitama, as expected, far surpassed everyone else. Out of tens of thousands of participants, only a handful passed, illustrating the difficulty of becoming a hero.

"Director Jace, these are the results of the hero examination."

Half a day later, after the written exam concluded, the list of those who passed the hero examination appeared before Jace.

"Wu Di, Saitama, Kubos..."

Gazing at the few names on the list, Jace fell into silence.

"Director Jace, aren't the standards for this examination a bit too high? Out of so many participants, less than ten managed to pass."

Maria frowned, her tone hesitant.

"We need heroes who can fight against monsters. If we don't raise the bar, we'll just be sending them to their deaths. This would also be irresponsible to the general public!"

In the Hero Association's locker room, Wu Di and Saitama sat chatting. Saitama was buzzing with excitement.

"Haha, Wu Di, I didn't expect you to pass too, that's great! What rank did you get in the end?"

Saitama grinned, patting Wu Di's shoulder, curious about his final assessment results.

"I think I'm..."

Wu Di slowly pulled out his report, revealing a character resembling an 'S'. Saitama was astonished.

"Are you S-Class? I never realized you were this strong?"

"Examination score: 85. C-Class, 50th position."

"Hahaha, you're only C-Class!"

Upon seeing that Wu Di was only C-Class, Saitama couldn't help but mock him.

Wu Di wasn't surprised by this at all. The Hero Association's ranking heavily relied on combat records.

For example, KING, through a stroke of luck, had taken credit for Saitama's achievements, thus earning the title of the strongest man on Earth.

"Guess what rank I am. I think even if I'm not S-Class, I should at least be in the top few of A-Class, considering how many powerful monsters I defeated."

After seeing Wu Di's assessment results, Saitama immediately started showing off, confident in himself.

"Maybe you should check your results first before getting too excited."

Wu Di, seeing Saitama's animated demeanor, couldn't help but remind him gently.

"You're right."

Saitama eagerly pulled out his assessment result from his bag. The first thing that caught his eye was the upper half of an 'S'.

"Haha, just as I thought, I'm S-Class. You'll have to work harder in the future."

Saitama was overjoyed, then he pulled the paper out completely and froze in place.

"Assessment result: 71 points... C... C-Class, 342nd position..."

"Hahaha, Saitama, you'll have to work harder in the future."

Even though he already knew the outcome, Wu Di couldn't resist teasing Saitama, who instantly erupted.

"How could this be?! I defeated so many monsters!"

"Should I go and clarify things with the association?"

"Absolutely not, it's too embarrassing... C-Class is one thing, but to be ranked over three hundred..."

Ding-dong~ The intercom in the lounge suddenly rang, capturing their attention.

"Mr. Wu Di, Mr. Saitama. There will be an orientation for the members who passed the examination starting at 4 PM. Please gather in Hall Three."

"Let's go. Regardless, now that we've passed the examination, we just need to slowly climb the hero ranks."

Inside the third hall, Saitama and Wu Di sat bored in their seats as a hero stood on the podium, looking down at them with arrogance.

"First, congratulations on passing the hero examination. Although you both barely scraped by at the minimum passing score."

"However, I still hope you will work hard in the future and not waste this good luck."

"Also, starting today, you must always pay attention to your image, because your photos will be registered on the Hero Association's official website from now on."

At this moment, Saitama was idly blowing bubblegum, thinking about what to eat for dinner, while Wu Di was contemplating how to quickly accumulate talent points in the future.

"Are you two even listening?"

The hero on stage had an unusually unpleasant expression. This year's newcomers seemed difficult to communicate with.

"You'd best aim to become upright heroes like me, or you'll end up dead."

Seeing that the two were still unconcerned, Snake continued to threaten them.

"Once you become an A-Class Hero, you'll have some say within the association. You can have people you dislike deducted points and demoted at any time. You two remember that!"

"A-Class, 38th place, Snake. He's really annoyingly noisy..."

Wu Di was somewhat speechless, wondering how this guy managed to reach A-Class...

After finally enduring the orientation meeting, the two left without even saying goodbye, under Snake's murderous gaze.

After they left, in the Hero Association's service room, Snake complained to Jace.

"Did those two really pass? Their attitude was terrible. Could they have gotten in through the back door? And they didn't even recognize me!"

"No, Wu Di has the strength to kill several Wolf-class monsters, and I suspect that wasn't his limit. As for Saitama, his physical test broke the association's previous records. A god resides within that guy!"

"It probably won't be long before they show us something to make us look at them with new eyes. Snake, your ranking might soon be caught up to by them!"

"Caught up to by guys like that?"

Snake recalled their indifferent appearances at the orientation meeting, and a surge of anger rose within him.
