Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Sakata Gintoki waved his test notification slip, which was stamped with a large "S".

Physical fitness test: 50 points.

Written test: 50 points.

Total: 100 points.

Hero Rank: S-tier.

Gilgamesh was surprised that Sakata Gintoki, who seemed somewhat idiotic, was also rated S-rank, and looked at him with a skeptical gaze.

"What are you looking at? My strength speaks for itself."

Sakata Gintoki glared at Gilgamesh, brandishing his demon sword, Hoshizai, as if ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

The most surprised among them was the middle-aged man. The fact that two people were rated S in the test at once was news that would cause a sensation throughout the entire headquarters!

Of them, only Sun Wukong failed the written test; all three of them completed the physical test perfectly, which is quite remarkable!

It's worth noting that the Hero Association hasn't had a perfect score in almost two years.

Sakata Gintoki and Gilgamesh, on the other hand, acted rather calmly, as if the S-rank rating was already within their expectations.

As for Sun Wukong...

"I won't be satisfied with just Grade A."

Looking at the notification in his hand, Sun Wukong smiled confidently. Everyone felt the fierce fighting spirit emanating from him, which stirred up a storm in the hearts of the Hero Association members.

Just as the three completed the Hero Association's test, another limousine drove towards the gate outside the association's headquarters.

At the same time, the middle-aged man also came out of the Hero Association and was greeted by a limousine.

"call…"

With a sigh of relief, the man who got out of the car brushed his bangs aside and looked up.

He was an extremely handsome man, seemingly existing only in the dreams of young girls, a man who could absolutely be called a prince charming.

Upon seeing the man, the middle-aged man went to greet him.

"Welcome, Sweet Mask."

Although his name is a bit strange, this incredibly handsome man is none other than an advisor to the Hero Association's committee.

A popular idol who ranks first among the A-class heroes of the Hero Association and has a voice and decision-making power in managing hero affairs.

Sweet Mask didn't waste any words. As he walked towards the Hero Association, he asked the middle-aged man who had followed him in a calm and gentle voice.

"That Mr. Sun should have passed the hero recognition test by now, right?"

The middle-aged man didn't hide anything and answered directly:

"You've passed the test. You got 35 points on the written test and a perfect score on the physical fitness test, for a total score of 85 points."

"Grade A?"

Sweet Mask flashed a perfect smile that would make any girl scream, and mumbled something.

Although Sweet Mask is only A-rank, this is the result of his own unwillingness to upgrade.

As the number 1 in Class A, Sweet Mask was qualified to apply for Class S, and could become Class S at any time if he wanted to.

Even in terms of strength, Sweet Mask is in no way inferior to S-class.

In terms of status alone, Sweet Mask, as an advisor in the Hero Association, is actually far superior to ordinary S-class heroes.

Of course, Sweet Mask knows.

From today onwards, I am no longer the only hero in the Hero Association with a high degree of influence and decision-making power.

Sweet Mask came here for one purpose only.

That is to find out whether Sun Wukong really had the ability to become a hero.

That's why Sweet Mask came.

However, Sweet Mask was unaware of this.

There was one more thing the middle-aged man was about to report to him.

"Besides Mr. Sun, two other people accompanied him during the hero recognition test."

The middle-aged man said to Sweet Mask as he stepped into the elevator:

"Those two gentlemen also passed the test and both achieved perfect scores, thus becoming S-class heroes!"

"What!?"

Sweet Mask was taken aback, staring at the middle-aged man in astonishment. After a few seconds, he steadied himself and asked, "Have you lowered the rules for advancing to S-class heroes?"

"No! I can assure you that it has always been this strict!"

The middle-aged man looked very serious, and Sweet Mask couldn't see a trace of lying on his face.

Then the middle-aged man's voice unconsciously lowered, and he said to Sweet Mask with a troubled expression:

"However, Mr. Sun is now applying to the committee, hoping to be promoted to S-level."

"Ok?"

Sweet Mask frowned immediately, turned his gaze to the middle-aged man, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Because Mr. Sun scored full marks in the physical fitness test, but the missing points were in the written test, he questioned his A-level rating."

The middle-aged man said with a wry smile, "Mr. Sun's explanation is that the written test doesn't mean he doesn't have the power of an S-class hero; on the contrary, he is extremely confident in his own power!"

Most of the S-class heroes were allowed to be promoted because of their outstanding combat power and superior achievements, and ultimately became the 16 strongest heroes.

In other words, the results of the written test are meaningless to these people.

These people became S-class heroes simply because of their exceptional combat abilities.

Sun Wukong's explanation is actually quite easy to understand.

"As long as your combat ability is up to par, isn't that enough?"

That's all there is to it.

"However, being a hero is not simply about having high combat prowess. It also requires the ability to assess unforeseen circumstances, a flexible mind to handle crises, and a strong sense of justice in the fight against evil."

That alone couldn't solve the problem; the Hero Association's testing was incorporated into the written exam, and that was a major reason for the failure.

The middle-aged man sighed.

"However, among the S-class, they are mostly monsters with outstanding combat power, and there are very few types who truly rely on their brains to fight."

As mentioned earlier, if you want to become an S-class, you have to prove your strength.

Sun Wukong has already proven his strength in the tests.

His perfect score on the physical fitness test was enough to let outsiders know that he had outstanding combat abilities.

It's not impossible that he could be granted permission as a special case to join the ranks of S-class heroes.

However, this special case has never been made so far.

Those who are eligible to apply for an upgrade should rightfully have that right first.

Once this special case is established, the ultimate consequences cannot be ignored.

Therefore, a committee composed of the Hero Association's executives is still discussing this matter.

Thinking of this, Sweet Mask couldn't help but smile.

"It's really interesting."

"In that case, let me see if Mr. Sun has the potential to become an S-class hero."

Chapter 315, You Are Not Qualified to Be Heroes! (Fifth update, please subscribe)

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong and Sakata Gintoki were chatting casually in the reception room of the Hero Association headquarters.

Gilgamesh, however, was deep in thought.

"I never expected you to suddenly ask for an upgrade; it surprised even me."

Sakata Gintoki seemed somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Sakata Gintoki believes that Son Goku's strength should be above his own, but he was rated A-level, which is really unfair.

Sun Wukong, however, just smirked.

"Originally, I never thought I could become an S-class hero just by taking the test."

Sun Wukong said, "After all, I can accept the physical fitness test, but I'm not confident that I can get a perfect score on the written test."

Only those who achieve a perfect score can be directly rated as S-level.

Although there may be other considerations, in Sun Wukong's view, if it were just a test, he would definitely not be able to become an S-class hero.

That's nothing.

Anyway, the hero level can be gradually accumulated through subsequent battles and contributions. In the end, as long as Sun Wukong is strong enough, he will eventually be able to reach S-level.

Unfortunately, Sun Wukong couldn't wait that long.
