Chapter 5: Start with Training

A few days later, the placement email for "Ming Ling" was sent via email. Kevin who saw it was happy because he was excited to start being a hero. It mentioned that he would be placed in a team with 4 other people as a rookie hero for training before officially becoming an active hero. He himself would be active in Peipei city but could request to be transferred in the future.

There they will get training on the technicalities of being a hero from the basics. They will also get simulation training on handling threats.

The training will be held at the training area outside the city starting tomorrow and will be conducted for 3 days, participants are also not required to stay in the dormitories provided and can go home as the distance between the training area and the city is very close and only takes 25 minutes, all participants are also expected to be present on time. Not all trainees trained here would be placed in Peipei City, unlike Ming Ling.

Kevin then sat down on the sofa after looking at the email. The security system of Ming Ling's house (Barrier Lady) had been set up in such a way that she was considered a second occupant by the house's security system with her using Ming Ling's body in the editing process.

Now he doesn't have to worry about getting in and out of this house. And this Ming Ling also had great wealth, most of it from sponsorships back when she was an active member of some villain group.

Then she prepared the things she needed, even if it was only a few. Because she could commute. In between he also practiced using Ming Ling's powers.

Although Kevin had access to Ming Ling's memories, he was not Ming Ling so he needed to train himself on how to use these powers.

Ming Ling's "Powerful Barrier" power was a powerful defense as well as a powerful attack. If the user was paired with someone who had a power with great attack power, then they would be difficult to defeat.

The barrier's durability was extremely high, able to withstand high-pressure laser beam fire without causing scratches on its surface. At that time Kevin was only able to unleash 80% of his full potential.

What if Kevin had managed to unleash 100% of his potential? Kevin thought it would be an absolute fortress. No wonder Ming Ling was categorized as a Rank-S super villain in the Association's databook. Even though Ming Ling still has a secret weapon that she has never unleashed from her power. That would be an ace up Kevin's sleeve.

Kevin was really grateful to Helfen, he chose the right target for him when his powerful target was at his most vulnerable without his powers.

Kevin turned his mind to tomorrow.

***

The next day, Kevin drove his sedan to the Hero Association's training area outside the city, preparing to undergo training with the rest of his team. He was now in the state of using Ming Ling's body as the identity he used.

She didn't use Kevin's identity because she probably didn't want to be used as an intruder in a troublesome infiltration task, she didn't want to be around people who could kill her at any time without her being able to defend herself. Basically, she didn't want to be a spy or anything like that even though she was now wearing someone else's body.

After 25 minutes of driving out of town, Ming Ling (Kevin) finally arrived at the training area. At the entrance gate he was first checked by the guards, Ming Ling was asked to show proof of placement in this area.

Ming Ling showed the placement email from the Association for the guards to check. After a few moments of verification and checking the validity of the email, Ming Ling was allowed into the area.

This area was managed by the Hero Association, consisting of a large area of about 10 hectares with various training facilities within. After parking her car, Ming Ling had to report to the head of the area management office.

"Rookie Ming Ling has arrived, report complete, sir!"

"Report accepted, rookie Ming Ling, go to the treasury to get your training uniform and put it on." The head of the office said.

"Yes, sir." Ming Ling ran towards the Treasury next to the Office to pick up the training uniform.

"Excuse me," Ming Ling said to the treasury officer

"With a rookie hero, what's your name?" The officer said as he opened the list of names.

"Ming Ling."

"Okay," said the officer looking and then checking Ming Ling's name, he continued, "Here is your uniform, congratulations on starting your training," said the officer as he handed over a box containing some training clothes and equipment.

"These are the clothes and equipment for your 3 days."

"Thank you," Ming Ling said and went to the changing room to change her clothes.

After finishing changing her clothes as quickly as possible, Ming Ling then headed for the training grounds as directed by the email. While the office and treasury were located in the southeast area, the training field was located in the eastern area.

There were already several teams participating in the training. Ming Ling's uniform had "03" written on it, indicating her team number, and she already saw two other people with the same team number. She went up to them and said, "Hello, with team 3?"

The two people consisted of a young girl in her eighties and a boy who was also in his eighties. They were the same age as Kevin and had dreams of becoming mm heroes after they awakened their powers. And they were twins.

'They must be pretty strong to be here,' Ming Ling thought.

"Wow, with team 3 too? My name is Maria Jones. And he's my twin brother Andrew Jones," said the girl.

"Hi," said the boy.

"Nice to meet you, Maria and Andrew," said Ming Ling.

"Are you in your 25s?" Maria said to Ming Ling. She was surprised that this woman signed up to be a hero at her age if she was right.

"Right, but age is not an obstacle, not everyone wants to become a hero straight away," Ming Ling informed.

"You're right. Then can we call you Big Sister?"

Ming Ling was a little surprised about these two people, did they feel it was rude to call " her" by name only? Quite cute.

"No need, we're all rookies here, no need to worry about that, just call me "Ming Ling" or "Ming"."

They both understood Ming Ling's meaning but still felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, Miss Ming," they both said in unison.

Ming Ling had expected that and gave up.

After that another person arrived, a man with muscles everywhere.

"Hello, Boys and Girls, I'm Bastian, a bodybuilder. Nice to meet you guys as fellow rookie heroes," the man said as he bowed his head

"Nice to meet you too, we're fellow team 3."

"Great, I can't wait, let's work together, guys," Bastian said.

After that came the whistle of an instructor who would train these budding heroes.

"Good morning, colleagues. Here, as novice heroes you will receive training for 3 days, to shape your understanding of becoming a hero. This training will be an introduction to the basics of how to become a hero from the basics. After that, you will actively become heroes and experience more demanding tasks and great responsibilities.

"We will not educate you hard, but time will educate you hard. Remember that the job of a hero is to be paid to protect their community from threats from everywhere.

"This is the beginning of your contribution, go through this training as best you can so that you can quickly adapt as a real hero, not a rookie, but an experienced hero."

"Yes, sir!" Said the rookies including Ming Ling.

With this the training started in 3 days and Ming Ling (Kevin) was able to commute home...
