Chapter 16

In the end, Zoe followed her own wishes and applied for the same MANUAL agency as Tenya. The next day, she was also accepted by the agency.

Although she felt that she was pestering him like this, and when she recalled his words, "This has nothing to do with you, Zoe", she still felt a little choked up, but...

"Staying by his side all the time is what a friend should do." Zoe rubbed her nose and muttered to herself in the room.

After washing up, she changed into her school uniform and went out to have breakfast.

She took a bite of the sausage and glanced at the memo in her hand.

Three hours before class, she would go to the No. 1 indoor gymnasium to train with Snake Well. After class, she would finish her homework and train for two hours. Then, she would go to work. After that, she would tell her boss that she would quit even if she didn't get her salary this month.

There were a lot of things going on recently. If she continued to work part-time, her body wouldn't be able to take it.

Zoe put the memo in her pocket and muttered, "Six more days until the workplace experience." She picked up her bag and walked to the door.

The housekeeper handed the dishes to another servant and spoke to Zoe diagonally behind her.

"Miss, the five elders are very dissatisfied with what you have done to them."

What did I do?

I was just a little harsh when talking to them, wasn't I?

Zoe wasn't in the mood to entertain them before, but now she felt that it was unnecessary.

She replied indifferently, "They complained to father?"

"Yes."

"Oh … Then it's fine."

"Yes."

The two of them walked to the entrance before Zoe continued to talk about this topic. "To be honest, I was shocked. I didn't expect them to be so slow."

"Yes, I think so too."

The butler helped Zoe open the Japanese-style door. The sky outside was not bright yet. Without the lights, it would be dark.

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Zuo Ye smiled. It was the first time that she had heard Zuo Ye express his dissatisfaction with the five uncles so obviously. "They are all elders, but they don't know that my father is not interested in anything except my mother.

They even complained to him about me … "

"Have a safe trip." The butler bowed.

"Okay."

The butler didn't look up until she was out of sight.

Miss … doesn't look very energetic today.

"Pfff —"

It was only after Zoe had been punched in the face that she realized how much Snake Well resented her for the fight with Takeshi.

He was harsher than usual and even more merciless. It was as if he was beating her to death.

With a twist of his waist, Snake Well turned around and pulled Zoe to the ground. He pressed his foot on her back and bent her left hand at an unbelievable angle.

Zoe shouted anxiously, "Senior!

I'm sorry!

I was wrong, I was wrong, I forfeit, forfeit!! "

When he heard the last few words, the anger in Snake Well's eyes intensified. Without saying a word …

Crack.

It dislocated Zoe's hand.

"Hmph."

He threw away Zoe's soft hand and looked down at her, who was lying on the ground in pain and had entered a state of emptiness.

After a long while, her originally cold face contorted. She raised her palms and clenched her ten fingers. "Have you ever thought about how strong your personality is?!"

Zoe, who was still in a daze, was speechless.

"Ahhhhh!!

I'm going to die of anger because of you! "

She held her head and screamed. Her miserable screams shook Zoe's soul back into her throat. Then, she was almost scared by his sudden movement and got stuck in her throat, almost choking Zoe to death.

"You big idiot!" Snake Well shouted into Zoe's ear. "You have the ability to control the wind!

Not only does this mean that the enemy can't see your attack, but you can also fly if you work harder!

Do you know how much of an advantage this gives you?!

If you work harder, you can have enhanced strength, speed, and defense!

If you work harder, you can make all physical attacks ineffective against you!! "

At this point, Snake Well let go of Zoe and took a few steps back weakly. He was gasping for air as he supported himself on his knees.

Zoe also gasped for air and patted her little chest. "S-Senior, you're too agitated …"

Can't everyone calm down …?

Snake Well had no intention of stopping. He continued with a look that said, "… Even if you don't appear in front of the enemy, you can still defeat them by controlling them from a distance. You also have the perception and the ability to detect enemies that many heroes don't have. Plus, your reaction speed … No matter how fast the enemy is, it's useless …"

Zoe wanted to refute. "I-Isn't there someone who can move at the speed of sound …"

"Shut up and don't talk!

You piece of shit!

What a shitty attitude!

What a shitty personality!

You piece of shit! "

"Pfft."

Zoe covered her mouth and resisted the urge to laugh out loud. She had never heard such insults before. She didn't feel like she was being insulted at all.

However, Snake Well was right.

Who didn't know that she had a strong personality? As long as one wasn't like her, who had been lax in training, she would be able to throw many modern users with messy personalities into the dust.

Maybe, if she was given more time to train, she could become stronger than she was now.

But to become a truly powerful person …

"Senior, you won't think so if you meet my father."

Snake Well raised his head. "Why did you suddenly mention your father?"

"Because we are discussing the issue of strong personalities."

Zoe supported her dislocated arm and sat on the ground. She recalled the two months she spent in Hero Hero. "I've met a lot of people, but only a few of them can make me feel that 'this person is strong'. Of course, no one knows who will win if they really fight. But in terms of personality, I really think there are only two people who are strong: my father and Teacher Olumet." Zoe nodded. Zoe nodded.

"Your father isn't a professional hero, is he?"

"He was a professional hero a long time ago, but he stopped after a while. Now, he's just the boss of a big company, but some people still remember him. They call him the 'former second hero.'"

The second hero before Andwa …

Zoe waved her hand. "It's not what you think. He's not the second hero before Andwa. He's just an unlicensed hero. He once went to jail for arresting enemies without a license. He's not as glamorous as you think."

However, it didn't seem to matter to Snake Well whether he had a license or not. He immediately asked, "Fengze, how old is your father this year?"

Zoe immediately saw that there was something unusual about this' former second hero. 'She smiled and said, "He's the same age as the current second hero. 45 years old."

By the time she finished speaking, she had already reattached her arm.

This wasn't the first time she had dislocated her arm during training. After Snake Well demonstrated it to her once, she gradually figured out how to reattach her arm.

After reattaching her arm, she stood up and slowly ran in the direction of the classroom … running away!!

Snake Well senior?

Who cares!

Let that math idiot count how old his father was when he became famous!

I'll let you throw your fists at my face!

How dare you dislocate my arm!

Serves you right!

Snake Well counted with his fingers. "Andwa became famous around 23 years old. If Fengze's father became famous before that … Eh?

He might have become the second hero of society when he was only in his teens, and he didn't even have a license … Was it even later?

Eh?

How old were they again?

Fengze? "

He looked up and saw that there was no one in the gymnasium. "Fengze?"

Zoe changed into her school uniform, washed her face, and walked out of the toilet with a towel. When she came out, she bumped into the blonde student who had also come out of the toilet.

Takeshi also saw her and looked at her from head to toe.

Her sweat hadn't dried yet, and the wet gym clothes in her hands were telling him that she had just finished an intense training session.

"You …"

Before he could finish his words, Zoe interrupted him. She gripped the towel tightly and bowed solemnly. "Takeshi!

I haven't had the chance to apologize to you properly. I'll apologize to you now!

Everything that happened before was my fault. I'm really sorry! "

"…" Takeshi looked at her hair. "What happened?"

"Huh?"

Zoe didn't expect him to forget. She raised her head slightly and looked at him. "It's about the sports festival. After we fought, I strangled your neck …"

And she ran away halfway …

Takeshi moved his head and tried to remember what happened that day.

Strangled his neck after the fight?

He, Takeshi, was strangled by the baseball guy?

Takeshi turned to look at Zoe. She lowered her head again, revealing her hair. "You don't remember? Did that happen?"

Although the baseball guy wasn't the weakest in class, he wasn't strong enough to strangle him. Therefore, such a thing must have never happened.

"..." Zoe sighed. "Golden Retriever, you don't remember anything about the Sports Festival except that you didn't use all your strength to win the game."

"How is that possible?

And who are you calling Golden Fur?!

Do you want to die?! "After roaring, he turned around and walked toward the classroom.

Zoe also wanted to go back to class, so they walked in the corridor one after the other.

Takeshi gritted his teeth. How could he be strangled by such a piece of trash?!

After the fight … After the fight … After the fight …

“！”

He was shocked by the viciousness in the pair of gray eyes that flashed in his mind. His body almost reflexively turned to the side, as if he didn't want to show his back in front of her unguarded eyes.

Zoe was startled by his sudden turn. Seeing him staring at her in shock, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Takeshi recovered from the shock. He clicked his tongue and put on his usual hooligan face. He shouted at Zoe, "Bastard, don't come so close!

Do I know you well?! "

He clicked his tongue and turned around. This time, they walked straight into the classroom and didn't talk to each other again.

Takeshi sat in his seat and looked through Kamimura and Seishima. He saw Zoe chatting with the girls and clicked his tongue again.

How is that possible?

Snake Well, who had been hanging on to Zoe's words all morning and couldn't think of an answer, finally ran to her classroom after class. The moment she came out, he rushed up to her and used a German on her.

Surplex. He got the answer.

"How is that possible … There's actually such a person … I didn't even know about it …" Snake Well was so shocked by the answer that his soul almost left his body.

"Zoye!!"

Misako and Midaya rushed forward in a panic and pulled Zoe's head out of the floor.

"Are you okay?

That senior actually ambushed us outside the classroom and attacked us while shouting 'How old are you?'. That was really unexpected! "

Midaya glanced at Misako from the corner of his eyes. "Li Ri, don't you think it's possible for someone to use a German on you?

A Fengze who can still answer questions while your whole body is suspended in the air. Looking at it from another angle, isn't it surprising? "

Zoe was speechless.

Apart from all kinds of small interludes, the next six days were uneventful.

Classes continued, Snake Well continued to train her, and she continued to improve her skills. Every day, she would play when she should play and be serious when she should be.

Soon, it was the first day of the workplace experience. Class 1A and Teacher Aizawa parted ways at the train station.

Zoe and Tenya stood far away from each other. They formed a rather large circle with Midaya and Misako, but they were still able to communicate with each other.

Midaya stopped Tenya, who was about to leave quietly. "Iida … If you really have any difficulties that you can't solve, you must let us know." He added, "We're friends after all."

Misako nodded vigorously to express her agreement.

Zoe pulled on the straps of her backpack. She did not say anything and maintained her usual smile.

"Fengze …" Midaya called out to her when he saw that she was about to follow Tenya. However, the second half of his sentence, "Please take care of Iida …" was stuck in his throat.

Zoe seemed to know what he wanted to say. She made an OK gesture, picked up her suitcase, and followed Tenya.

The two walked into the carriage. Tian Zai sat in the second row, and Zoe also sat in the second row. They were separated by an aisle. As long as he made any movements, she would be able to see it clearly.

An hour later, the train arrived at Baosu Station.

The two of them walked one after the other, and they did not talk to each other on the way to the office.

Manual, who came to receive them, had a kind face. When he spoke, he did not make people feel that he was putting on airs, nor was there anything unpleasant about him. He was very easy to get along with, and his first impression of him was extremely good.

In order to better impart knowledge about professional heroes to them, Manual would be in charge of teaching Tenya, and Zoe would be in charge of his sidekick, Netef.

Netef was a hero in traditional red Indian costume. He was more cheerful than Manual, and he patted Zoe's shoulder affectionately. He smiled and said, "It's you!

I was paying attention to you during the sports festival!

The tornado at the last moment of the horse riding competition and the punch to the dynamite kid in first place were so cool!

What's your name? "

Zoe's eyes narrowed when she was praised. "My name is Gale. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."

"Hello. Nice to meet you too.

Then … let's go patrol the streets now, okay? "

"Okay!"

Although she chose to come to the office for Tenya, Zoe was used to doing everything to the best of her ability. She did not want to waste this week's time.

Netef told Manual and took Zoe out to patrol the streets.

Along the way, Netef answered Zoe's questions. He also confirmed that DUST, who was once again the champion of the "Most Wanted to Marry Hero List" with his handsome appearance.

Devil was the brother of the person in front of him. He widened his eyes, indicating that the two of them did not look like siblings at all.

After patrolling, Netef took Zoe up and down the office several times, so that she could roughly understand the administrative procedures of the office.

After dinner, Manual, Tenya, Netef, and Zoe discussed and summarized what they had learned that day.

Zoe washed up and was about to sleep in this unfamiliar room.

The big sister who was helping her with her accommodations was about to leave the room. "I'll turn off the lights."

"Okay." Zoe immediately shrunk into the sleeping bag and wrapped herself up tightly.

The big sister guessed something. She laughed twice, turned off the lights, and left the room.

Even at night, the office would not be empty. A few heroes on the night shift would stay behind just in case.

Through the crack in the door, Zoe could see people walking around outside. She was not so afraid anymore. She roughly sensed that Tenya in the next room was also asleep. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
