Chapter 9: Hero Association

~Third POV~

…

…

The Hero Association is an organization founded by the multi-millionaire Agoni that manages all of the cities' heroes. It operates independently of the government Agoni also established the National Hero Registry, the database that embraces every recognized hero. The Hero Association uses a hierarchical class system to organize its heroes, with four classes and individually numbered ranks within respective classes C, B, A, and S.

Three years before the current storyline, the Hero Association was founded by multi-millionaire Agoni, whose grandchild was saved from a mysterious being by a passerby. After hearing about the incident, Agoni came up with the idea for the National Superhero Registry and founded the Hero Association using private funds of businesses and donations from the public.

When it was founded, the Hero Association was initially divided from C to A-Class, and a similar system was used for monsters. For example, the disaster level Demon was not called "Demon," but simply "Mysterious Being that could only be defeated by a group of A-Class heroes."

The creation of the S-Class only came about as the Hero Association staff recognized that certain heroes were able to consistently defeat monsters that other top-ranked heroes failed to defeat.

To prevent rare talents from being hidden, they formed a special class. This new class specializes in combat ability and is treated on the same level as an emergency army division. This new class came to be known as the S-Class.

The Hero Association Staff are the people who send reports to the public, whether it's a monster, natural disaster, or any other crisis.

The Hero Association also has an armed branch separate from the heroes. They are seen protecting the Hero Association Staff at the headquarters and guarding the border of the Z-City Ghost Town; thus, they exist primarily in a support role.

They are fairly well-equipped, having access to armed and armored vehicles, as well as body armor, assault rifles, and grenade launchers. Security guards at the headquarters wear business suits and carry concealed pistols.

The National Hero Registry is a database that contains the names of every officially registered hero. Any person not registered in the National Hero Registry is not recognized as a hero and, as such, is always looked upon as a delusional weirdo, regardless of how many times they saved the world.

The Hero Association makes money to sustain itself through donations from the people across the country as gratitude for protecting them from Mysterious Beings and other threats.

They also receive money through private funding from various billionaires like Agoni and Narinki and business organizations that provide funding to generate a good reputation and build positive PR. The latter is the primary source of income for the Hero Association.

Based on various criteria, heroes are categorized into four different classes. The C-Class is associated as composing of the weakest heroes, while the S-Class is recognized as composing of the strongest heroes.

To proceed to the next class up, a hero must be ranked number 1 in their current class, at which point they can choose to stay at the top of their class, or move up and start at the bottom of the next class up.

In some cases, a hero can be placed directly into a higher class if their score on the entrance exam is high enough. And in a few rare cases, like King and Genos, a hero can be placed directly into S-Class, should they have a previous record of dealing with dangerous threats.

To rise in the ranks, points are allocated based on the heroes' achievements. The exact criteria for how the system works is largely unknown, but it comprises multiple factors, several of which are combat strength, monster & criminal suppression, contribution to the public, public image, and more.

Dealing with higher disaster level threats nets the hero more points to rank up. The Hero Association evaluation staff deliberates and assigns how many points each hero is rewarded with for such achievements, with Sweet Mask being one of those members.

Furthermore, if a Class C hero remains inactive for one week, their name will be removed from the Hero Registry.

…

At the current time though it has only been the beginning day for people to enter the Hero Association as a lot of people came to participate in the event.

More than enough famous groups of people joined the cause and good job opportunities have appeared as they all looked forward to being named heroes.

Then came four people coming to the Hero Association first time employing new work for the people as was Saito, Tatsumaki, Fubuki, and Bang sensei entered inside…

…

…

~Saito POV~

Here we are the so-called Hero Association and the great corruption this place brings… I can just smell the shitload of money it has and I will be the one to make it mine.

Although I was a bit surprised when Bang-sensei came around for this event. But then again most people have been somewhat scared to join his dojo anymore ever since my first time-fighting in the Super Fight.

He was majorly pissed off when he started to lose some students because of my <Fake Punch> geez can't people take the hint. But pretty much Garou did come over to train once he saw my fight but I wasn't exactly going to deny him.

Hell, even Bang made sure to mentor him well as he did with me… except that he has potential and I didn't at his age ah… good memories.

But still the main building for this place we entered inside the Hero Association building in A-City as many people came here to take part in the fun. Wait did I say fun? What I meant was complete domination of owning them.

Yeah, that sounds much better.

Feeling the tugs of the two sisters we all walked towards the entrance to see a whole crowd of people in front of us as some guys in suits explain to us what to do, "Now if you candidates separate yourselves into two-line one for girls and one for boys. You will be instructed what to do next please follow the arrow signs."

With that Tatsumaki let me go as she floated towards the sign along with Fubuki as she playfully let me go as she left spoke out, "Well shame we can't participate together Saito-kun but hopefully you don't flunk the test. Would be pretty bad if you didn't beat them see ya."

Fubuki followed her by example as she kindly winked at me as the men around me merely glared at me at that. Some muttering from them as I flipped them the middle finger as I responded to the weaklings, "Oh go shove off assholes. Just cause a pretty girlfriend like mine flirt with me makes you jealous think you can glare at me? Learn to grow a pair and get a girl otherwise learn to fuck off."

Bang behind laughs at my attitude towards the pissed-off beta males as he taps my back as he responds heartily, "Hohoho… You have a way with words Yagami-kun. Wanting to keep your woman to yourself ah… I see the youthfulness blooming today."

Raising an eyebrow at Bang-sensei I simply nodded understanding him but at the same time, I don't know what kind of smoke he has been inhaling. Just don't want these people to be in my way when I own them in the physical exams.

The writing exams though might be a bit difficult since the anime nor the manga was very clear about the subjects. Although they did mention it was something about a hero morality that it was related to it I think?

Whatever…

Looking around and entering the line I saw another one of those staff members as he instructed us what to do next in a clear voice, "Ok young gentlemen for the physical part of the exam will be the fitness test. Fitness Test - The fitness portion of the exam tests the physical capabilities of the candidate, such as agility, reflexes, and physical strength. The known components of this portion of the exam include side-to-side jumps for 30 seconds, a 1500 meter run, weight-lifting, and squat jumps. Then will be the written test that will determine your sense of justice."

Yadayadayada…

I get it already man no need to repeat the steps. With that, we all went into the boy's locker room as we all changed into our spare clothing for working out. I chose the most daring outfit going with my speedo.

No balls and no gains.

This is merely to show how to outclass and shame the other guys compared to my body training.

The men gawked at me as I merely glared at them raising my glasses menacingly like a certain number of muscular men with the name of Jojo as my body gets into the serious animation style, "Hmm…? I see you men are jealous of my body but do note I ain't gay like the rest of you. For I am the chosen one to have girlfriends than you. But hey maybe with my presence I can grace you with my luck."

"You fucking bastard!"

"Ain't gay ain't you arrogant buddy!"

"Yeah what makes you so high and mighty!"

"Well, no need to be shameful really?"

"AHH! It's YOU!!"

Hearing the last one to take notice and completely ignore the second to last guy accepting his gender of yaoi love I looked to see my first victim of my meme series… Puri Puri Prisoner as I see him still here…

He stood there looking at me with clear hate as I look him in the eye as he grits his teeth in rage for the damage I have done to him rightly, "You bastard! Because of what you did to me the doctors say that I have erection disfunction! You also –"

"<Normal Slap>… no homo."

Casually slapping the air in an upward motion I managed to create a great gust of wind pressured upwards in Puri's direction as his eyes went wide at this. The great wind summoned by my <Normal Slap> caused all the wind or air I slapped to move towards the rapist direction along with any unfortunate people caught in the wrong time and the wrong place.

*SWOOSH*

The great pressurized wind caused Puri to be lifted into the air very far away from the Hero Association as it causes him to go through the building along with a few guys with him as they were shown to be blown away like a certain trio of members of Team Rocket.

I petty the poor fools that went along with Puri since his so into men. But then again though I'm somehow saving them from being owned by me doing normal exercises that by every single thing I do normal turns to overpowered in the process.

*Thud*

With that, the ceiling debris was falling again as everyone seemed to be very surprised at my actions as I slap my hands together as I get everyone's attention, "Now then! How about we get back to what's needed to be done, right gents? Just ignore me slapping the air getting rid of a rapist and get back to work right?"

They all nodded their heads as I see one person well more like a kid just minding his own business even after launching the Puri out of the way. It took some time for me to recognize him as I was hoping to find him later but looks like it was for nothing as I need to ask him a favor.

The Kid I need to get his help Child Emperor.

He pre-adolescent boy with light skin, short brown hair, and large amber eyes. His hair often has a cowlick. He wears a light blue polo shirt with dark cobalt-colored shorts and orange sneakers with white rims. Additionally, Child Emperor wears a black Japanese-style backpack that holds his gadgets.

As I was looking at him he looked at me with narrowed eyes as he began to speak to me about my earlier actions, "You do know it wasn't exactly nice to show off like that to people. Even though they do deserve it I mean would the Hero Association would let such people become heroes glasses?"

At least he didn't call me four eyes but I shook my head as I began to talk to the kid hoping to get a favor from him, "Nah. The place would hire that guy in a heartbeat you can practically smell the corruption kid but hey money is money for anyone. But I can tell your smart."

Child Emperor just looks at me weirdly as he sighs out loud as he gave me a stare looking at me expecting some kind of deal, "Sigh… ok sir what exactly do you want? I can tell you want something from me so what is it?"

Before he could speak to me he looks at me confused before a look of realization flashed on his face as he asked me in a curious voice, "Wait for a second… you wouldn't happen to be the guy that destroyed that haunted Heavenly Haunted Host Elementary did you?"

Raising my eyebrow at that I can see he was referring to the cringy ghost girl as I nodded my head and explained what happened but then I asked out of curiosity, "Wait a second how did you know about me entering that place? I thought I was alone in that building?"

Now it was the Child Emperor's turn to explain to me he caught me as a green blur entering the building as his teachers asked him to investigate the area as he looked at me gratefully, "Man didn't know actual killer ghost exist there and those traps? They sounded disgusting but you did me a favor taking care of it for me. You wanted something right?"

Smirking at this I do need a smart character around as I began to tell him what I want from him as he looked at me weirdly clearly not believing me. So I began to talk to him about destroying the space in an area allowing a person to jump into another parallel world or another dimension entirely.

He seems to chalk it all up considering the fact his eyes shined at the idea but looked a bit disappointed as he asked about the power needed, "Shame the idea sounds something out of a manga. But you would need a large amount of power to pull it off where –"

Casually interrupting the young kid I began to speak to him nicely but also seriously as I spoke to him, "No need to worry about the power needed I have that figured out. What I lack was something that could transport me back home again. And hearing of the greatest intelligent home schooler around Y-City I certainly need you for that if I may collect some materials there if not at least we see if the idea was possible out of manga?"

Child Emperor shrugs at this as I respond to the kid with words of the Otaku Teacher of having the urgent need of YD to him, "Sometimes kid you must have the case of YD to have the desire of what you want…"

Child Emperor shakes his head at me as he began to walk away but at least gives me his answer about the offer I talked to him about, "Really glasses? I know that you are requoting from the Ultimate Otaku Teacher but the idea sounds good. Let me have a few days to figure it out and test out if the idea is possible."

Nodding my head happily I agree with the kid at least I can wait for the time to happen now…

About owning some noobs of how to do this Fitness Test…

…

…

*BOOM*

….

*SWOOSH*

…

*THUD*

…

…

Nailed it with the whole Hero Association banning me from ever doing the fitness exam but passed with full scores of doing meme series… <Normal Workout>.

The faces they made were priceless, but the Writing Exam portion was certainly something I couldn't handle a lot of since it involved some morality of the questions and some curveballs at random.

It was bullshit as it had this one question explaining what color are you thinking of? Like what kind fucking question is that?

Ignoring currently I'm inside the dojo doing my job waiting to get the mail along with Fubki and Tatsumaki as the mailman email was finally sent as I immediately got to read the contents as did my girls!

…

…

What I read from the email I got my hero class being…. S Class.

Reading the content they did the background check saying I did extremely well during the fitness exam owning everyone by pure skills and the writing portion was somewhat good there but what made me become S class was because of my continuous wins during the Super Fights.

But the most important reason was from the writing exam with me threatening to punch them as they saw my earlier feats and my feats speaks for themselves of the fighters that I bully-fight yeah fight them in the ring then they understand to face one punch of mine.

DEATH.

I knew those Super Fights were worth something!

Now with this, I can just wait till I finally go on the multiverse adventure can't wait boy!
