Chapter 2: Winning Big

"Additionally!"

The teacher continued: "The TV station is here. Today's hero bonding ceremony will be broadcast live to the national audience, aiming to boost morale. So, everyone must perform well. Not only must you successfully bond, but you should also aim higher in your choice of heroes."

"We are a key high school in the city. It's really disappointing that so many are choosing to bond with Level-B heroes!"

Hearing this, the students were taken aback.

Wow!

That last comment seemed to be the real reason for the teacher's sudden change in stance.

Then, checking her watch, the teacher said, "While we still have time, let me give you one last lesson to help you review the hero talents and hopefully find your best match."

After saying this, she turned on the projector, displaying the contents of her computer on the blackboard.

"Starting with Level-S heroes, let's begin with the first one, codenamed S1..."

A figure appeared on the projected image.

This person was burly, wearing a black and white armor, with a cape trailing behind and black protective sunglasses...

Chen Ye was slightly taken aback upon seeing this figure. He felt the character looked familiar but couldn't place him immediately.

"Regarding the S1 hero, everything is unknown."

The teacher's voice rang out: "No one knows what kind of talents are gained from bonding with him, as there has been no successful case of bonding with S1 globally to date."

"There are rumors that successfully bonding with S1 could grant powers comparable to a deity, but I still don't recommend setting S1 as your bonding target."

Saying this, the teacher clicked on her computer.

A new character appeared on the blackboard.

Codename S2!

This was a haughty, loli-like hero.

She was small and delicate, with emerald green hair. Her features were cute, but she carried an air of arrogance. She wore a black, crotchless long robe, revealing her pale, short legs.

Seeing this hero, Chen Ye's eyes widened in shock.

He was all too familiar with this loli.

Tornado!

A character from the Earth anime "Bald Strong" (One Punch Man).

"Second of the Level-S heroes!" the teacher introduced. "You all should be familiar with this hero, so I won't elaborate much. Our country's top hero, Ms. Qin, has bonded with her, and her talent is telekinesis!"

"S2's abilities are incredibly strong, but the difficulty of bonding is also very high. So far, only Ms. Qin has successfully bonded with her in our country. Those who choose her as their bonding target must be cautious."

The students gazed at the hero on the blackboard, their eyes burning with desire.

They wished they could instantly acquire her telekinetic powers and, like Goddess Qin, become a pillar of strength and admiration for the nation!

Only Chen Ye stood still, his eyes blank, looking utterly incredulous...

After the teacher finished discussing the second Level-S hero.

Quickly.

The third Level-S hero appeared on the projector.

This was an elderly hero. Despite his white hair and beard, and seemingly frail physique, the old man's sharp and fierce appearance was not to be underestimated.

Chapter 2: Winning Big

Seeing the image of this hero, Chen Ye was utterly stunned.

Silver Fang.

Also a character from the Earth anime "Bald Strong" (One Punch Man).

If the first two could still be considered coincidental, the appearance of this elderly hero could no longer be explained away as mere coincidence.

At this moment, Chen Ye was certain that the coveted hero talents were indeed those from the characters in that anime.

'No wonder, when I saw the video of the girl fighting the monster, I felt the green glow of her power was familiar...' Chen Ye thought to himself.

On the podium, the teacher continued: "The hero codenamed S3 has the talent of ancient martial arts mastery! With his talent, learning traditional martial arts can be much more effective."

"This hero is most suitable for us in Xia country. His existence has given our traditional martial arts a place in the world stage of powerful beings. Also, the difficulty of bonding with him is much lower than S2, which I highly recommend!"

At this point, the teacher's gaze meaningfully turned towards Chen Ye.

This time Chen Ye saw it clearly.

The teacher on the podium was indeed giving him a "second look"!

Chen Ye was confused, as he knew nothing at this point and could only keep his composure.

Fortunately, the teacher's attention did not linger on Chen Ye for long and she quickly continued with the hero introductions:

"S4, the talent is Swordsmanship Mastery. Bonding with him grants a high level of swordsmanship talent... Additionally, the heroes codenamed A2, A3, A4 also have sword-related talents but are much inferior to S4. It's speculated that these three heroes and S4 are related, possibly as master and disciples."

"Those who like swordsmanship and are unsure about bonding with S4 could try bonding with A2, A3, or A4."

...

"Codenamed S5, this hero may look like a child, but he possesses the smartest brain. His talent, brain enhancement, is also extremely important. For example, our Science Academy's current Chief Scholar, Mr. Lu, invented the exoskeleton combat armor after successfully bonding with S5, enhancing our military's capabilities."

"Students confident in their intellect might consider trying to bond with S5."

...

"Codenamed S6 is a robot and cannot be bonded with, so we'll skip this one..."

...

"Codenamed S7 is a trap, don't be fooled by his appearance. His talent only makes your heartbeat louder, which is quite useless..."

...

"S8's talent is self-healing. Bonding with him grants strong self-healing abilities, almost indestructible, but unfortunately, it doesn't enhance combat abilities much..."

...

"S9 is also a robot and cannot be bonded with..."

...

"S10, the talent is eating, possessing a strong digestive ability. This is the easiest talent for gaining strength; just keep eating to quickly increase power. However, it severely affects one's physique. Those who don't mind their figure might consider this hero. Among the S-level, his bonding difficulty is relatively low..."

...

It seems that in this world, there's no anime like "Bald Strong", so people are unaware of these heroes' names, hence they are referred to by codenames. 

The S-level heroes are designated with 'S' as the initial letter, followed by a numerical ranking in order.
