Chapter 496: The Arrival of the Deep Sea Clan (Edited)

The test of repeated horizontal jumps was soon over.

"Next is the 1,500-meter race..."

When they arrived at the venue for the 1,500-meter race test, both the other candidates and the staff in charge of recording the team's results looked at Yeruashi differently than before.

The faces of those closest to Yeruashi were a little stiff, and their gazes at Yeruashi had a hint of fear in them, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads from time to time.

A superpower!

And a person with superpowers who manipulated lightning, that was quite terrifying to see!

It didn't take long for the candidates, including Yeruashi, to arrive at the arena, and the nearby staff collected their stopwatches.

"Ready..."

"Let's go!"

Buzz!

At the same instant he said that, Yeruashi's entire body turned into white lightning and disappeared into thin air.

The other candidates nearby were stunned, so much so that they stumbled to a halt before taking two steps, staring dumbfounded towards the track where Yeruashi was standing.

Glancing toward the end of the runway, he saw that Yeruashi's figure had appeared there, calm and serene, with the blue arcs of lightning still clearly visible in his silver hair.

"Glup."

The staff member at the end of the runway swallowed saliva, he had forgotten to press the stopwatch, but even if he had, it probably wouldn't be accurate.

How long was that?

A second?

A millisecond?

Or was it less?

In any case, it was far beyond the range of human recording!

"A millisecond."

The manager of the hero association came over and wrote down Yeruashi's time on the paper.

...

Zizi!

Yeruashi, who was bathed in the lightning light, raised a hand slightly, and the weights and discs all over the place flew through the air under the entanglement of the lightning light.

...

Whoosh!

The ball of lead wrapped in lightning flew out and disappeared into the infinite sky.

...

Until the last test was completed.

The manager of the association clicked his earpiece to report something, and then approached Yeruashi, handed him the document in his hand respectfully, and said, "Mr. Yeruashi, please come with me, there is still a part of the interview for you."

"Okay."

Yeruashi nodded softly and followed the association manager to the back of the examination room.

About two hours later.

Yeruashi came out of the Hero Association examination room with an envelope in his hand. He didn't open it, just looked at it and saw the report card inside the envelope, his eyes flashed with a glint of light, showing a thoughtful look.

"100 points out of 100, recognized as Class-A..."

There was something strange about the Hero Association's criteria for ranking heroes, they were not ranked entirely by combat power, which was why Saitama and KING were ranked seventh and eighth in Class-S.

As for why he and Genos both scored 100 out of 100, but he was ranked class-A here, it was probably because Genos already had a history of destroying the House of Evolution, and he didn't have any other history aside from the exam.

Thinking about it, Yeruashi smiled cheerfully and reduced the envelope to ashes with a lightning bolt at his fingertips.

In any case, he was a hero from now on, A-class or C-class, he didn't care much about the classification, he would become S-class sooner or later anyway.

...

Just as Yeruashi left the examination room of the Hero Association.

A commercial district of the city.

In a busy shopping mall, strolled a beautiful woman with short, dark, silky hair and tall, curvy figure, she was the B-class, rank-1 heroine, Fubuki.

"... This is the general situation, we feel we need to tell you, Miss Fubuki, so we are here to inform you."

The voice of the Hero Association staff came from the phone that Fuyuki had placed to her ear.

Hearing the message from the Hero Association, Fuyuki was in a bad mood, saying, "Just because of your superpowers and test scores, you've overlooked me as the first class-B hero, and directly recognized you as a class-A hero?

She had been stuck at the top of class-B, just like Amai Mask, who was at the top of class-A, and had prevented the other class-B heroes from ascending to class-A.

Demonic Cyborg, who had been promoted to S-class a while ago, was an exception, after all, he was recognized as S-rank by the Hero Association, but this time there was another one who had been promoted to A-class, all of whom had overlooked her, the first in B-class, completely ignoring her existence.

"Fubuki, I'm so sorry!"

The staff there heard Fubuki's annoyed voice, and quickly apologized, "The promotion is a unanimous decision of the association's top management...".

"Well, I know!"

Fubuki spoke coldly, and hung up the phone of the Hero Association, and then dialed a few more calls, she said, "Tab, it's me... immediately go investigate the information of the newly promoted A-class hero of the Hero Association, find out where he lives, and let me know. "

After informing her subordinates in the Blizzard Group, Fubuki hung up the phone and looked out the glass window of the shopping mall: forget about the S-class Demonic Cyborg, but this time it was necessary to pay a visit to the A-class hero who had skipped his promotion.

And just as Fubuki began to investigate Yeruashi's personal information.

J-town.

On the coast.

Due to the presence of the monsters, the fishing industry is very depressed, and the fishermen usually fish only in the bounded "safe waters" and dare not stray far from the coast.

Near the harbor, several fishermen were quickly unloading the fish they had caught and bringing them ashore.

And at that very moment.

Auge!

A very sudden explosion came from not far away.

A huge giant was approaching, with a destroyed fishing boat behind it and flames burning from the explosion.

Giant is a bit of a misnomer, because the body was a giant, but the head was a giant octopus with seven or eight tentacles flailing about.

"I am the messenger from the depths of the sea!"

"The world of the land must be given to us, the people of the deep sea, to rule!"

"Stupid humans, you should all become the food for our deep sea race!"

The harbor fishermen gazed at the scene with cold sweat on their foreheads and horror.

"It's... it's a monster!"

"Run!!!"

I don't know who shouted first, then everyone nearby threw down whatever they had in their hand and in horror.

And as they fled, they saw a great number of monsters, of all shapes and sizes, coming out of the sea and onto the shore.

The Deep Sea Clan....

has arrived!
