"Finally, all the tests are over. Now we just have to wait for the results." Saitama looked relieved.
"Mm," Lin Qing replied.
Saitama looked at Genos as he approached and said, "Oh, you've got your side sorted out too?"
"yes."
"I'm asking you, is it really necessary to test your physical fitness?" Saitama asked with a suspicious look.
"Well, why not just provide them with the data directly? What do you think?"
Genos: "Both the written test and the physical fitness test were quite boring."
Saitama said confidently, "Yeah, it's supposed to be a hero exam, it's way too easy."
"The results will be out soon. A score of 70 or above is passing. However, the written test was too easy, so a perfect score is a certainty," Genos said with a smile.
"Yeah, a perfect score is a given." As he said this, Lin Qing smiled at Saitama.
"The results should be available in about an hour. I'm going out for a walk. You guys do as you please," Lin Qing said before leaving.
Before long, we arrived at the venue. The tests were all completed, and the staff were dismantling the facilities.
Suddenly, a panting sound came from behind Lin Qing, "You, you must be Lin Qing."
Lin Qing turned around and saw a beautiful-looking secretary. He said, "Yes, is there something you need?"
With a smile, Mi Shu said, "Mr. Lin Qing, you will need to have an interview."
Lin Qing asked in surprise, "An interview?"
Then, led by the secretary, they entered a conference room.
Upon entering, I saw a bearded middle-aged man, a bald middle-aged man, and a blond man sitting inside, with a chair in front of their table.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Lin Qing," the blond man said politely.
Lin Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the chair without saying a word, waiting for them to speak.
The blond man spoke first: "Mr. Lin Qing, are you aware of the vaccine incident?"
Lin Qing didn't think much of it and said, "I know, I was there at the time."
The bearded man said, "In the vaccine incident, the injured person was healed in an instant. You were there at the time, do you know who did it?"
Lin Qing said calmly, "I... I'm the one who cured them."
"Oh? Is it really you?" The bald man immediately perked up.
"Did you handle the vaccine case?" the blond man asked with a serious expression.
Lin Qing shook his head and said, "It wasn't me, it was a friend of mine who solved it."
The three exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with joy. They unanimously agreed that Lin Qing had resolved the issue, and that calling him a friend was probably just an excuse.
"Thank you for your answers, Mr. Lin Qing. The interview is over. You may leave now." The blond man gestured for him to proceed.

Lin Qing nodded, got up and walked out. Just as he reached the door, he saw Genos waiting to the side.
Genos: "Lin Qing? Have you finished your interview?"
Lin Qing: "Okay, I'm going to find Qi Yu. I'll wait for you to come over." After saying that, she walked towards the changing room.
In the conference room, the three unanimously agreed that Lin Qing's strength was not only enough to kill the Dragon-level vaccine monster, but also to heal the wounded on a large scale, making him absolutely worthy of the S-class rank.
The bald man took the S-rank stamp and pressed it heavily into Lin Qing's file room. Then, Genos walked in.
An hour later, Genos walked into the locker room with a file containing the scores of the three students.
Saitama excitedly took the file bag, and Lin Qing happily accepted it as well, wanting to see what level he was.
Genos opened it first, looked at the report card and said, "I got a perfect score."
Saitama, sitting in his chair, looked up and asked, "Really?"
Genos: "Yes, he's classified as an S-class hero, that's what it says on the website."
"S-rank? What's that?" Saitama asked, puzzled.
Genos looked completely unconcerned. "I don't think ranking is meaningful at all. What do you think, teacher, and Lin Qing?"
"Me too, I got a perfect score and was also recognized as an S-class hero, ranked eighteenth, the last one," Lin Qing said, stroking his chin.
To be honest, the S-rank was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that having an A-rank would be remarkable. Lin Qing had only demonstrated his healing abilities outside.
This classification as S-level came as a surprise to Lin Qing.
"Ah, Lin Qing, you're also S-rank? Let me see mine." Saitama pulled out his report card.
Suddenly, a big "C" appeared on the report card, and Saitama's face fell.
"Seventy-one points, a C grade? Saitama, is your written test score really that bad? Such a simple question," Lin Qing complained.
The written test was really simple. For example: "[If you encounter a strange person harming others, what would you do?]"
besides:
[What would you do if you encountered a strange person who was stronger than you?] Such a simple question, wouldn't that get full marks?
"There must be a mistake. I'm going to complain to the person in charge." Genos said with a serious expression. How could his teacher, such a powerful being, only be a C-rank?
Saitama quickly stopped him: "Fine, don't go, I don't want to embarrass myself."
"If you encounter a monster stronger than you, what would you do? Saitama, how did you answer that question?" Lin Qing asked curiously.
Saitama said blankly, "I replied, 'That's great! Since I started wanting to be a hero, I've never encountered an enemy stronger than me. It'll get my blood pumping!'"
Lin Qing and Genos: ""
Okay, it seems it's not Saitama's fault, but the question is wrong. Saitama has truly never met anyone stronger than him, so the other questions are probably related to that as well.
"Mr. Lin Qing, Mr. Genos, Mr. Saitama, the lecture for qualified candidates will begin at 4 PM. Please proceed to Hall 3." At that moment, the loudspeaker announced.
"Only the three of us passed in the entire meeting, tsk tsk tsk." Lin Qing stood up.
Saitama: "Anyway, let's go first. No matter what, as long as we pass, that's fine. Let's finish quickly and go home!"
Inside a recording studio.
The number one hero in Rank A, Sweet Mask, is sitting in a chair, answering a phone call.
"We've finally found that cyborg."
Sweet Mask said calmly, "Yes, I've heard about it."
"Considering his previous record, he has been specially designated as S-rank this time. Oh, and there's another one, Lin Qing, who has also been designated as S-rank."
"Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to speak with Mr. Sweet Mask first."
"I agree with Genos's assessment, but who is Lin Qing? What qualifications does he have to be recognized as an S-rank?" Sweet Mask said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"That's right, Lin Qing single-handedly resolved the Dragon-level disaster vaccine incident and also possesses the ability to instantly heal the injured. Therefore, we have designated him as an S-rank."
"Oh? Lin Qing, Genos?" Sweet Mask hung up the phone and remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
The next day, Lin Qing, Saitama, and Genos arrived at a huge basin, which was concave in shape, and the three of them were below it.
Lin Qing was just here to watch the show; Genos wanted to have a serious fight with Saitama.
Genos said to Saitama, "Konno, I am very grateful that you agreed to my tough request."
Saitama walked away into the distance, saying as he went, "At least I've agreed to take you on as my apprentice."
"Is this alright?" Saitama asked, standing several hundred meters away.
"yes."
Saitama: "Even though it's a battle, it should just be a friendly spar!"
Genos said with a serious expression, "I don't think so. I will do my best to get the teacher to take it seriously."
Genos activated his newly replaced device with great confidence, while Lin Qing simply shook his head upon seeing it.
Lin Qing stood on a nearby cliff and said softly, "If Saitama were serious, you would be dead by now."
Although Lin Qing's voice wasn't loud, it still reached Saitama and Genos's ears.
"Then I'll definitely give it a try! Please enlighten me!" Genos's upper body began to glow red, and a turbine appeared on each of his shoulders, bursting out orange energy pillars.
Genos moved, his speed far exceeding his previous speed, several times faster, and kicked Saitama with a flying kick, his whole body seemingly crackling with electricity.
Saitama lightly leaned back and dodged the attack. Seeing this, Genos suddenly unleashed a burst of energy from his right hand to stabilize himself.
He then used the energy from the jet to spin and increase his power, kicking Saitama again, but Saitama easily dodged it by crouching down.
When Genos saw that his attack had missed, he flew into the sky, raised his right leg, and suddenly shot out from behind.
It attacked Saitama fiercely, but Saitama didn't retaliate. He simply jumped lightly and dodged the attack.
"Boom!" Genos smashed a crater hundreds of meters deep.
Saitama, who was in mid-air, suddenly looked down and saw a huge pillar of energy shooting towards him.
"Damn it, Lin Qing is standing there." Genos thought to himself and immediately looked up.
"Holy crap, Genos, watch out, you scared me!" Lin Qing's voice came over.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Qing stood unharmed on top. On either side of Lin Qing, two huge pits had been burned out by the energy pillars.
Saitama, who had dodged, landed in front of Genos, looked at Lin Qing above, and said:
"That was close, the clothes almost burned again. Genos, be careful next time. If Lin Qing hadn't been so strong, you would have killed civilians."
Genos breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lin Qing, you are stronger than I imagined."

"Teacher, how about this speed?" Genos looked at Saitama, his energy exploding several times over, and he slowly floated up.
