Enthusiastic and Righteous
Shen Heng glanced at Cao Mingyu, who was greeting someone else, and chuckled:
"Looks like you've met quite a few people these past three days!"
"Haha, yes!" Cao Mingyu laughed, "Wouldn't it be good to get to know inspectors from different places?"
Shen Heng nodded, indicating his agreement with this viewpoint.
However, he didn't have as much energy as Cao Mingyu.
While he doesn't resist meeting new people, he doesn't have much motivation to actively befriend strangers unless there's a specific reason for it.
"By the way, it seems like only the two of us from Lingnan Province are participating in this training camp," Cao Mingyu said.
Shen Heng nodded. "There are only 30 spots in the training camp. With so many provinces across the country, it's already quite good that we got two from Lingnan."
"Yes, that's true!" Cao Mingyu nodded.
Fang Ran sat down next to Cao Mingyu, glanced at the two of them, and said:
"In our Cangwu Province, it seems like I'm the only one."
Shen Heng glanced at Fang Ran, Fang Ran before saying:
"I wonder if there are any provinces where there isn't a single person."
"Huh? Is that even possible?"
Cao Mingyu and Fang Ran both looked at Shen Heng with some confusion.
"The Great Xia has two capitals and nineteen provinces."
"From a fairness perspective, then there will definitely be at least one person in at least one province."
"But if we only look at qualifications, some provinces might have a few people, while others might have none."
"Which possibility is more likely?" Cao Mingyu asked, arms crossed.
"Judging solely by qualifications is more likely," Shen Heng replied thoughtfully.
"The Supervision Bureau isn't small, but it's not huge either. Even if someone complains about unfairness, headquarters should be able to suppress it."
"Moreover, talking about fairness in this kind of matter is inherently unreasonable."
"Of course, whether fairness will be considered in the end depends on what the person in charge thinks."
Cao Mingyu nodded. "So it seems they're only looking at aptitude. Most of the people I've met these past few days are A-Class."
Speaking of this, Cao Mingyu seemed to remember something, turned to look at Shen Heng and asked:
"By the way, Brother Shen Heng, is your ability A-Class or B-Class again?"
Shen Heng paused, glancing at Cao Mingyu and Fang Ran sitting opposite him, and asked:
"Are most of them A-Class?"
"Yes, even if the ability isn't A-Class, it's at least B-Class, but A-Class accounts for more of it!" Cao Mingyu nodded.
Shen Heng nodded, still not answering Cao Mingyu's question, but instead asked:
"So, who are you two?"
"My Physical Fitness Enhancement to A-Class!" Cao Mingyu said.
"Fang Ran, Touch of Ten Thousand Trees, A-Class!" Fang Ran followed up at the opportune moment.
"The Touch of Ten Thousand Trees?" Shen Heng looked at Fang Ran.
"I can use my Origin Power Manipulation the growth, deformation, and attack of trees," Fang Ran explained, then lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"However, although this ability is A-Class, it consumes a lot of Origin Power, and my rank is relatively low, so the effect is not very good."
Shen Heng nodded thoughtfully.
As for Origin Power, once its rank is raised, there won't be any problems. Does this mean he's the next Hashirama Senju?
Well... it's hard to say. There are no useless abilities, only useless ability users. They can develop any ability into something amazing.
After the two of them finished their introductions, it was Shen Heng's turn.
Meeting their gazes, Shen Heng pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Shen Heng, Sound Wave Manipulation, D-Class!"
After he finished speaking, the dining table remained silent for a long while.
After a long while, Fang Ran blinked and looked at Shen Heng with some uncertainty.
"D... D-Class?"
"Hmm, D-Class." Shen Heng nodded.
"No, Brother Shen Heng, are you really D-Class?" Cao Mingyu frowned and confirmed again.
"Yes, it really is D-Class!" Shen Heng nodded again to confirm.
Seeing that Shen Heng seemed genuinely serious, Cao Mingyu's brows furrowed deeply.
"Brother Shen Heng, how did you get in?"
Shen Heng looked up at Cao Mingyu.
The other person had a serious expression on their face, and their words were also full of solemnity.
Considering the previous time when the other Fang Ran up for Fang Ran...
Yes, besides being enthusiastic, they also have a strong sense of justice...
"I didn't sign up, I was just called here!" Shen Heng said.
"Were you specifically called here?" Cao Mingyu's brows were still furrowed.
"Hmm, otherwise did you think I had connections that could directly influence headquarters?" Shen Heng chuckled.
Cao Mingyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized what he meant.
Although the Supervision Bureau only handles incidents related to the Calamity Beast, its actual scope of power is very broad, extending to both military and civilian sectors.
As this was the first time the training camp had been organized by the headquarters of the Supervision Bureau, the list of participants must have been screened by the minister and others.
In other words, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to influence this list.
Even those who can be influenced are probably more concerned with whether the candidate meets the requirements of the training camp.
Thinking of this, Cao Mingyu's brows immediately relaxed, and then he looked at Shen Heng with a strange expression.
If Shen Heng and his brothers didn't get in through connections, then were they really specifically chosen to join?
D-Class ability user was actually selected to join this training camp that only A-Class and B-Class ability users participated in?
"By the way, do you know what form this training camp will take?" Shen Heng asked.
"It's unclear about this at the moment, and no one has given any concrete information..."
The three of them started chatting again.
Shen Heng listened while eating, occasionally interjecting with a word or two.
At one moment, he seemed to catch a sound nearby, and he turned his head slightly, looking up diagonally through the ceiling.
Second floor, officers' mess hall.
Three figures were sitting around a small round table.
"Is everyone who's going to participate in this training camp here?" one of the lean figures asked.
"I just received the message that the last person has just arrived and should be in the dormitory now!" Zhang Chenguang glanced at the person he had just asked.
"Who is it? Why are you so slow?" Cao Zhenghao asked.
"Call him Zhou Xuan," Zhang Chenguang replied.
Upon hearing this name, Chang Lei, who was sitting next to him, paused in his actions.
Noticing his unusual behavior, Zhang Chenguang and Cao Zhenghao both looked over.
"What, you know him?"
"I wouldn't say I know them, I'm just in Capital, so I've heard of them."
Chang Lei shook his head and continued to explain:
"He wasn't originally registered; headquarters specifically added him."
"Oh? Is your aptitude really that good? That headquarters actually remembered you?" Cao Zhenghao asked.
"In terms of qualifications, they're considered excellent!" Chang Lei said after a moment's thought.
"Oh?"
Cao Zhenghao became somewhat interested.
How does it compare to Wu Hongxuan and Xiao Xiangtong?
