"Explosive Shuriken - Fierce Dragon Formation!"
Rumble— A violent explosion kicked up countless clouds of dust. Sonic's clothes were now in tatters, and he looked utterly miserable.
"Psychic Powers? I never expected this guy to have hidden himself so well."
Sonic's expression was extremely grim. If he had not used that self-destructive method to forcibly break free from the restraints, he would have been seriously injured even if he had survived.
"And you still managed to escape."
Wu Di slowly paced forward. The gravity field could only be used once within a short period of time. He had originally intended to catch Sonic off guard and finish him off, but Sonic had still escaped.
"What a troublesome ability."
The gravity field could be said to perfectly counter speed-based ninjas like Sonic. At this point, he no longer dared to approach Wu Di carelessly.
As the two faced off, several figures entered Z City, while a man hurried over from the Ghost Town.
"Lady Fubuki, we have investigated it. The explosion from the Ghost Town just now was caused by a battle."
A burly man in a suit and sunglasses respectfully reported to a slender, sexy beauty.
"The Ghost Town? Could it be monsters? Hasn't there always been talk that this place houses a nest of powerful monsters?"
Fubuki looked unconcerned. She had come this time because of Saitama, the B-Class hero. Recently, newcomers to the Hero Association had been growing more and more ignorant of the rules.
"The two sides fighting are not monsters, but humans."
"Humans? There are actually people who dare to live here?"
Fubuki was somewhat surprised. Monsters frequently appeared here, and ordinary people could not avoid the place fast enough.
"Yes, and one of them is the target we have been searching for—the B-Class Rank 5 hero, Masked Man Wu Di."
"It's actually him? What a lucky break."
The corners of Fubuki's lips curled upward slightly, revealing a sexy, enchanting smile.
"Who is he fighting?"
"He appears to be a ninja named Sonic, a wanted criminal from the Association."
The Blizzard Group's intelligence network was among the best in the Hero Association, and the Association had just notified Fubuki about Wu Di's circumstances.
"I originally wanted to recruit these two newcomers into the Blizzard Group. I never expected this guy to want to jump straight into A-Class. What an ignorant newcomer."
"Let big sister show you just how cruel reality is!"
Wu Di and Sonic's battle was not only discovered by the Blizzard Group's members, but also attracted another familiar face.
"Wu Di? So it was you."
Genos looked at the two before him in surprise. He had been scrubbing Saitama's toilet when he suddenly detected energy fluctuations here and came out to investigate.
"That outfit... a ninja? Who are you?"
Genos frowned. Since Wu Di was in trouble, of course he had to lend a hand.
"I am Sonic. Saitama's opponent. Now that I've answered, you can get lost!"
Sonic looked thoroughly impatient. He was currently thinking about how to deal with Wu Di and had no energy to spare for these minor characters who had suddenly appeared.
"Heh, Sonic? So you're that pervert. You shameless bastard, and you dare call yourself Sensei's opponent?"
"I'll destroy you directly! Incineration Cannon!"
Rumble— Terrifying flames blasted forth. Sonic narrowly dodged the attack, but Genos's figure instantly appeared behind him.
"This guy's speed!"
Sonic's pupils constricted slightly. No one had ever so easily circled around behind him.
"Did G4's parts really improve his performance that much?"
Wu Di watched the two fight wildly through the streets with great interest. It would probably be difficult for them to determine a winner anytime soon.
"Hey, are you the B-Class hero Wu Di?"
"Hm?"
Wu Di turned around and looked at the two men who had suddenly appeared, both dressed in suits and sunglasses, his face filled with confusion.
"We are members of the Blizzard Group! Lady Fubuki, B-Class Rank 1, has something to say to you."
The man in black looked incredibly arrogant. Who in the Hero Association did not know the Blizzard Group's name?
"So it's the Blizzard Group. Recruiting heroes again? Unfortunately, I'm about to enter A-Class."
Wu Di helplessly shook his head. No matter where one went, there were always people who liked forming these little groups. It was also a sign of weakness.
"Whether you can enter A-Class still requires my approval."
Her exquisite features, graceful figure, and green dress were a dazzling sight.
"B-Class Rank 1, Blizzard of Hell."
Wu Di silently looked at the sexy beauty before him. She was the younger sister of Tatsumaki, the Second S-Class Hero, and had established the Blizzard Group on her own to prove herself.
If Sweet Mask, A-Class Rank 1, was the gatekeeper for promotion to S-Class, then Fubuki, B-Class Rank 1, was undoubtedly the greatest obstacle for every hero seeking to advance into A-Class.
"I assume you have heard of me."
Fubuki seemed to be implying something. Seeing that Wu Di showed no reaction, the Blizzard Group members beside her immediately explained.
"By the rules, heroes promoted to B-Class must come and pay their respects to Lady Fubuki."
"Is that so? B-Class Rank 1, how impressive."
"You are new, so perhaps you do not know that the Hero Association also has factions. In this line of work, you cannot survive without finding an organization."
Fubuki did not mind the mockery in Wu Di's words.
"Furthermore, you will face obstacles if you want to improve your ranking. Even if you are lucky enough to kill a powerful monster, entering A-Class will not be so easy."
"There will always be people to hinder you. Even if I let you through, sooner or later, other people or organizations will join forces to drive you out of A-Class."
"So I have a suggestion. I hope you will join me. That way, I will first help you secure a place near the top of B-Class. Once I enter A-Class in the future, I will naturally support you."
Blizzard of Hell was brimming with confidence. As the perennial B-Class Rank 1, few people had ever rejected her proposal.
"Then we can talk after I drop out of A-Class."
Wu Di impatiently waved his hand. In truth, his promotion to A-Class had been the Hero Association's decision from the start.
The Blizzard Group was merely creating complications, using this opportunity to suppress and recruit newcomers while strengthening itself.
"Are you sure you will not accept my proposal?"
Fubuki's expression darkened. She had not expected this newcomer to be so incapable of recognizing what was good for him.
"Of course I refuse. An organization like the Blizzard Group is itself a collection of weak people. If you want to become stronger, stop wasting your time on these useless things."
Wu Di advised her sincerely, but the pampered Fubuki had no intention of listening.
"Eyelashes, Mountain Ape. Teach him a harsh lesson. Since he refuses to join our Blizzard Group, not only will he fail to enter A-Class, I'll make sure he can never be a hero again for the rest of his life!"
Bang— The two figures were instantly blasted away. Wu Di stared expressionlessly at Fubuki.
"You intend to obstruct me?"
Buzz— A blue radiance rose around Fubuki's body. She floated into the air as a powerful hurricane suddenly surged up around her without warning.
"I am B-Class Rank 1! You actually want to surpass me? I'll beat you half to death, tear your skin open, and crush your fighting spirit!"
