Black Robe: Gender Swap, I Have a Small Panel

Looking at Ryan, who was handing him a piece of paper, and giving him a warm, sun-like smile, Azu's heart melted.

If only this were my own child...

Looking at Ryan, Azu suddenly felt she had so much to say to him, but...

She knew that the two of them were now strangers... Ah Zu wisely swallowed her words, but simply took the tissue from the other person and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then, she gently patted the other person's head and said softly:

"Thank you for the tissue, little one. It's so kind of you to care about a stranger; you're a real little hero!"

"Of course~ my goal is to become a righteous and courageous person like my father."

Become a true hero!

Little Ryan, pleased with the praise, stood there with his hands on his hips for a moment before trotting back to Homelander's side.

The child's innocent words echoed in Azu's ears. The voice wasn't loud, but it gave Azu a jolt once again...

A true hero?

She looked at her counterpart, at that righteous face, and finally realized where her education had failed.

Becca's kindness instilled in Ryan a correct sense of right and wrong early on, but he failed to meet her expectation of being a "true hero."

Instead, they served as negative examples time and time again...

Having figured everything out, Azu's eyes darkened, and he secretly lamented that he had realized it too late.

Her Ryan had become a little beast, and the conflict between them was irreconcilable. She could never forgive him... and he would never accept her...

……

but……

But little Ryan in front of her was different; he was like a second chance given to her by heaven! A chance to be by Ryan's side again and watch him grow up!

This time I may not be able to be there as your father as you grow up... but I will become a true hero and be your role model!

Thinking of this, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in her eyes, and a hint of battle intent appeared in her gaze as she looked at her compatriots.

Damn you, my idiot! Everything about you makes me so envious. This time, I will never lose to you again!

I, Azu, will definitely become a true hero!

Just wait, I will prove that I can also become little Ryan's idol, and I can also become a ray of light illuminating his path in life...

Beside her, Homelander looked at Azu, who had suddenly become so determined, and nodded slightly to her as if he understood what she was thinking.

What Homelander saw was not just a blonde, rekindled fighting spirit, but also a reflection of his own past self, a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf…

……

At this moment, because of Ryan's good deed, Azu completely changed his mindset and had a reason to become a hero!

She, Ah Zu, is no longer the fake hero who acted for personal gain; she wants to become a true hero who can support children's dreams!

……

After a brief wait, the voices of the testing staff echoed throughout the hall.

"Beep beep, machine warm-up successful. Test subject number 001, Supergirl—Ms. Kara Zoel, please proceed with the test!"

Kara is Azu's new name. Now she wants to completely shed her Homelander identity, and it's definitely not appropriate for her to keep her old name, John.

So, Morgan, who's terrible at naming things, simply let her inherit the Super Girl's name. After all, he'd already borrowed the hero's name, so what difference would it make if she had her own?

"Supergirl, Ms. Kara Zoel, please participate in the test!"

In the hall, when the name was called for the second time, Azu still didn't realize for a long time that it was her name being called. It wasn't until Bingnan kicked her that she realized it was her new name.

Azu immediately stood up and slowly walked into the testing room.

"Go for it, Kara!"

Seeing that Azu had stood up, Little Ryan promptly offered her encouragement.

This brought a genuine smile to Azu's face, and he spoke:

"Yeah, you should keep it up too..."

After responding to Ryan's encouragement, Azu stepped into the testing room.

The moment she entered the room, an invisible pressure enveloped her body.

This special testing room is a miniaturized version of Krypton's World Engine, which can alter the gravitational waves within its interior space, gradually increasing the gravity within.

People in this environment will feel increasing pressure. When they can no longer bear it, they can speak up to test their physical fitness level.

Similarly, under extreme pressure, the test subject can lift a specially made dumbbell to test their strength.

By demonstrating their destructive power in this specially designed room, the test subject's energy level can be determined.

As for speed, it's even simpler; you just need to move under the sensor and avoid the laser red dot to easily test it...

Feeling the faint pressure from the gravitational waves, Azu took the four tests of [physical condition], [strength], [energy], and [speed] with 4% seriousness.

"Bang—"

As a specially made dumbbell landed heavily on the ground...

"The assessment is over!"

Name: Kara Zo El.

Physique, Strength, Energy: State - Initial Stage!

Speed: Mid-term (of a state/country)!

Combat Strength: State/Nation - Early Stage!

"Congratulations, Miss Kara, your ranking test result is: State/Nation-Level Hero!"

As the sound faded, a golden badge was simultaneously delivered to Azu's hand by the machine. It was made using nanotechnology and engraved with Azu's chibi-style portrait.

From then on, this badge became her official identification in the Hero Association.

Looking at the badge, Azu felt a surge of excitement. She understood that now... she had truly joined Morgan's world ship!

Now, she has the qualifications to compete on the same stage as her hated counterpart!

Looking at the badge, Azu vowed in his heart: I must train hard, surpass that despicable counterpart, and make myself the one Little Ryan admires most!

With a thought, the badge transformed into nanomaterials and automatically assimilated into her battle suit, occupying a prominent position. She then opened the testing door, stepped out, and excitedly exclaimed:

"Fara, I passed the test!"

Ah-Zu excitedly approached Bing-Nan, like a child, venting his joy at being "accepted".

Meanwhile, in the room on the homeland side, young Ryan, also wearing a silver badge, rushed towards the Homelanders in the same tone and manner.

"Fara, I passed the test!"

Seeing the strikingly similar actions of Azulein and the other man, the soldier realized something and was momentarily dazed.

After hesitating for a moment, this time the soldier didn't insult Ah Zu anymore, but instead showed a gratified expression and praised him:

"You little brat, you didn't disappoint me..."
