In the original timeline, those two guys, Eyelashes and Mountain Ape, had ranked second and third in B-Class respectively, and their strength was quite respectable.
But in this worldline, the sudden rise of the House of Evolution's psychic legion under Josen had occupied all the top spots in B-Class.
Competing with a bunch of people whose actual strength even surpassed A-Class really was asking a little too much of the Fubuki Group's two leading members.
Their rankings had naturally dropped considerably as a result, though they still hovered around the upper end of B-Class.
The Hero Rankings were a comprehensive list accounting for overall strength, popularity, and other factors. As leading figures in the Fubuki Group, Eyelashes and Mountain Ape naturally enjoyed the collective boost from this Hero organization, but if their strength had not made the cut either, they could never have maintained their places near the top of B-Class.
After all, in this age of cutthroat competition among Heroes, even the ordinary Hero rankings carried considerable weight!
"Stop arguing, both of you! Lady Fubuki definitely has her own plans!"
The only girl among the black suits, a busty young woman with a sky-blue streak in her hair, gave the two rivals for affection, Eyelashes and Mountain Ape, an adorably fierce glare.
As she spoke, her dreamy eyes remained fixed on the tall, voluptuous older woman walking ahead of them.
The girl's Hero Name was Three-Section Staff Lily. She currently ranked eighty-sixth in B-Class and wore a pure white lily in her hair.
As one of the few female professional Heroes, she could deftly wield a three-section staff as a weapon, delivering quite respectable power and reach at medium range.
Of course, in terms of actual strength, she was only somewhat stronger than the vast majority of C-Class Heroes,
