For Fubuki, who had always considered herself superior and had always wanted to surpass her sister and become the world’s strongest esper, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
However, Fubuki is Fubuki.
“I’m fine…”
Fubuki took a deep breath and finally spoke.
However, her voice was a few degrees lower than usual, clearly trying to suppress her emotions.
Fubuki forced down the resentment in her heart, turning her gaze back to Gu Cheng, her eyes complex.
There was resentment, there was incomprehension, and there was even a trace of… awe?
…
“Let’s go!”
After a moment of silence, Fubuki finally said nothing more, simply coldly throwing out these words before turning and leaving the office.
Lily, Mascara, and Yama猿 immediately followed.
However.
Before the three left, they couldn’t help but take a deep look at Gu Cheng.
It seemed they were all surprised at how a newly awakened esper could possess such powerful strength!
When they reached the office door.
Fubuki suddenly stopped.
She seemed to have thought of something, turning back and looking at Gu Cheng again.
“I lost today.”
Fubuki’s voice was still cold.
But this time, she was exceptionally rare in admitting her defeat.
“However, I won’t let this go!”
“As for helping you…”
Fubuki paused, seeming to consider her words.
“I’ll be at the Hero Association tomorrow afternoon at three…”
“I’ll personally be in charge of evaluating your ability level.”
With that, Fubuki didn’t linger, taking Lily and the others, leaving the office without looking back.
Pingshu Jing watched them leave, only when their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor did she finally breathe a sigh of relief, her entire body seemed to be exhausted, weakly collapsing onto the sofa.
“Whew~, I was so scared…”
Pingshu Jing patted her chest, her voice filled with fear: “I thought we were going to be demolished today…”
“But you were really amazing just now!”
“How did you do it, you’re actually not even Fubuki’s opponent, the top B-rank hero?”
Pingshu Jing said, turning to look at Gu Cheng, her eyes full of disbelief.
“Nothing.”
Gu Cheng said calmly, “It’s just that she’s too weak.”
“Too… too weak?!”
Pingshu Jing, upon hearing this, seemed to think of the terrifying power that Fubuki unleashed when she used her full power, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
She wanted to refute, after all, that’s the top B-rank hero, “Hellfire Fubuki”, how could she be “too weak”?
However…
Recalling how Gu Cheng effortlessly defused Fubuki’s attack.
Pingshu Jing suddenly felt that what Gu Cheng said didn’t seem wrong…
After all, in the face of absolute strength, everything is but a futile struggle.
“Could it be…” Pingshu Jing looked at Gu Cheng’s youthful face, a bold thought suddenly popped into her mind, “Could it be that your strength has already far surpassed that of an A-rank hero, even…”
At this thought, Pingshu Jing’s breathing became rapid.
If that were the case, how limitless would this young man’s future be!
The more Pingshu Jing thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was likely true!
After all, if Gu Cheng was truly just a high school student who had awakened his esper abilities a few days ago, then how could he possess such powerful strength, to the point that even the top B-rank hero Fubuki wasn’t his opponent?!
You must know that the ranking system of the Hero Association isn’t just for show!
The strength gap between each level is immense!
Take Fubuki for example.
She is only a B-rank hero.
But her strength is definitely among the best in the B-rank heroes!
Even those A-rank heroes wouldn’t dare say they could beat her for sure!
And yet Gu Cheng could defeat Fubuki so easily…
What does this mean?!
This shows that Gu Cheng’s strength is definitely far more than that of a B-rank hero!
Perhaps…
He may have already reached the level of an S-rank hero!
At this thought, Pingshu Jing’s breathing became rapid.
S-rank hero ah!
That’s the pinnacle combat force of the Hero Association, the last line of defense for humanity against monster disasters!
Every S-rank hero is an unparalleled super strong individual, possessing terrifying power unimaginable by ordinary people!
If Gu Cheng really possessed the strength of an S-rank hero, then everything she had been worried about before would be completely irrelevant!
After all, S-rank heroes are those who even the national leaders would be respectful to!
Those privileged children, even if their parents really had the power to bring in an S-rank hero, the other party wouldn’t easily provoke an S-rank hero whose strength was unfathomable!
After all, battles between S-rank heroes could cause unimaginable destruction! If they’re not careful, they might even destroy a city!
Not to mention, the parents of those privileged children might not have the ability to actually summon an S-rank hero!
After all, S-rank heroes are not someone you can just command around!
“Whew—”
Thinking about it, Pingshu Jing let out a long breath, her anxious heart finally settled down.
The way she looked at Gu Cheng also became more complicated.
However.
Pingshu Jing’s inner monologue.
Gu Cheng was unaware, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
In fact, from the moment he stepped into the office.
Gu Cheng had been multitasking.
On the one hand, he was seemingly chatting with Pingshu Jing, but in fact, he had been secretly exploring the limits of his telekinetic range.
After all, it had been less than a month since he had come to this world.
Gu Cheng actually still didn’t have a concrete concept of the power system of this world.
Now he had acquired telekinesis.
He only knew that his telekinesis was very strong!
Extremely strong!
But, how strong exactly?
Gu Cheng actually had no idea.
It just so happened that Fubuki came knocking on his door, giving Gu Cheng a chance to test his strength.
Of course, the results of this test disappointed Gu Cheng somewhat.
Because Fubuki’s strength was simply too weak…
Gu Cheng didn’t even bother to get serious, and he easily defused Fubuki’s attack.
It was like an adult facing a child waving a toy knife.
That kind of attack didn’t even qualify as an “attack”.
