Mechanical Hero
Chapter 7
Time flew by quickly. Hikari The Lion used a month to witness the process of Dehisa's transformation from an ordinary teenager. The day before the Xiong Ying exam, they were at the beach, witnessing the unobstructed view of the sea and the slowly rising sun.
The sun shone on the teenager's body that was covered in sweat. Every muscle was clearly defined, bearing witness to the crazy training he had undergone during this period of time.
At the same time, Hikari The Lion and Midaya Dehisa had become friends during this period of time. The two of them agreed to meet at Xiong Ying.
On the day of the exam.
Ormet, as the teacher of Xiong Ying, of course couldn't send Dehisa off. Hikari The Lion, who was very free, sent Midaya Dehisa to the door.
"Don't worry. If even you can't pass the exam, then I'll have to doubt this school's foresight. Dehisa, if it's you, then you can definitely do it." Hikari The Lion said to Dehisa with a smile.
"Thank you, Lion King.
I'll do my best! "Midaya Dehisa took a deep breath and walked through the door under Hikari The Lion's encouraging gaze.
Watching Dehisa's back gradually disappear, Hikari The Lion put away the smile on his face. He found a park with few people and sat on a bench. Hundreds of surveillance videos popped up on his retina. He picked one and zoomed in. It happened to be in the Xiong Ying conference room. The professional hero, Bresent Mike, was on the podium talking about the things to take note of before the exam. His eyes focused and zoomed in on a corner. He saw Midaya Dehisa's face.
Although the technology of this world was more advanced than that of Earth, it was still a far cry from the technology of aliens. Hikari The Lion could easily hack into the network without being discovered.
[Ding — — Hacking the school's network without permission. Level 4 warning!]
The Atonement System in his mind suddenly jumped out and kept ringing in his head.
Hikari The Lion frowned. "What warning?"
[Violation of social morals is a Level 4 warning. Violation of rules is a Level 3 warning. Violation of laws is a Level 2 warning. Homicide is a Level 1 warning.] The cold mechanical voice sounded in his head.
[I'll say this again. This system was specially created for planet D78. It monitors my every move. Rewards and punishments are clear. If I violate a level 4 warning or above, there will be a corresponding punishment.
Level 3 warning, one electric shock. Level 2 warning, all functions of the machine will be locked and shut down. The shutdown time will be determined according to the severity of the matter. Level 1 warning will directly destroy the machine.]
Hikari The Lion was noncommittal. "What about the reward?"
[If it is detected that I have attempted to rescue you, you will be rewarded with a repair opportunity after the courageous act.]
"Maintenance?"
Hikari The Lion had a strange expression on his face. He recalled the last time he fought with the old man. Both of his arms had been torn off. Repair meant that the damaged parts of the body could be repaired after the fight?
That's not too bad.
Hikari The Lion opened the surveillance video and continued watching it.
[Level 4 Warning!
Level 4 Warning!]
"Alright. Anyway, the punishment will be when I violate a level 3 warning, right?" Hikari The Lion continued watching the surveillance video without being affected at all.
[… …]
Perhaps this atonement system did not expect that its host would still be so fearless after turning over a new leaf. It was crazily testing the boundaries of being punished, but unfortunately, it could not change the program that was set. The atonement system remained silent for a while. It actually realized that it really could not do anything to Hikari The Lion!
Thus, Hikari The Lion happily continued to follow the progress of his friend's exam.
The students in the conference room were divided into several areas to take the actual combat exam. Hikari The Lion checked the surveillance video of several examination areas, and finally, he found the area where Dehisa was.
When the exam began, many students rushed to the area of SimCity to look for robots that could score points. Hikari The Lion looked for several surveillance videos before he finally saw Dehisa running around like a headless fly. Dehisa's face was cursing. It seemed that he had not gotten any points yet.
Suddenly, a two-meter tall green robot rushed out from the corner. Dehisa's face was filled with astonishment. Before he could react, a blue laser beam hit the robot from the side, and Dehisa took the initiative to score points.
The green-haired young man had a sad face. He looked at his peers in the examination area who were freely using his personality to score points.
Indeed, he had just obtained Ormet's power this morning. He had not used it yet, and he did not know how to use it before he was thrown into the examination area. He must be feeling very desperate.
Hikari The Lion thought for a while. He stared at the green robot at a corner of the examination area. With a thought, the green robot began to drive towards Midaya Dehisa.
"Ouch!"
A fierce electric current passed through his body. Hikari The Lion was in so much pain that his body trembled. Sparks were produced when the mechanical joints in his body collided with each other.
[You violated the examination area's rules without permission!
Level 3 Warning, one time!]
The green robot in the examination area paused. It was destroyed by a certain candidate's personality.
The electric current only lasted for a moment, but it was painful. It was not a good feeling to have his whole body in a mess.
Hikari The Lion cursed in his heart. He could only watch helplessly as Dehisa ran around the examination area.
When the exam was about to end, a sudden change occurred!
The huge robot strode towards the center of the examination hall. Its ten-meter-tall body was a huge monster to everyone. Furthermore, according to the rules, even if they defeated it, they wouldn't get any points. The examinees hurriedly avoided the robot's path.
However, there was an exception.
The green-haired young man went against the flow of people alone and rushed towards the huge robot!
Hikari The Lion's sharp eyes noticed the little girl who had fallen on the ground in front of the robot's path. He sensed Dehisa's intention and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
Did this kid want to die?!
He did not even understand the robot's personality and he wanted to fight against this robot?!
Midaya Dehisa did not even think much. Before his brain could react, his body had already rushed out without caring about anything else. A huge power was awakened in his body. In an instant, he even felt that there was no enemy that he could not defeat. With a big stride, he jumped up high until he was parallel to the robot's head. Midaya Dehisa's mind was blank. Only a firm belief supported him. A huge amount of power flowed into his arm and fiercely hit the robot's head.
The robot fell heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Dehisa was slowed down by the little girl's personality and he finally landed safely on the ground.
Other than the bones in his entire arm being broken into pieces.
"Are you okay?
Dehisa? "Chako Reishi asked worriedly.
"En?
En!
I'm fine … "Dehisa covered his injured arm and turned his head to look at the destroyed robot behind him. His eyes flashed with confusion.
He seemed to remember that before his attack hit the robot, its movement suddenly stopped.
Was it an illusion?
In a park somewhere, Hikari The Lion was lying on a bench. He felt that his whole body was not good. Beside him, there was a homeless man who was looking at him with hostility. It seemed that this was his territory.
A few days later.
Hikari The Lion received good news from Dehisa. Dehisa said that he did not get any points for knocking down the robot, but his last action got him the highest rescue points and he successfully entered Xiong Ying.
Hearing that his friend had also entered Xiong Ying, Hikari The Lion was finally relieved. Originally, he planned to hack into the Xiong Ying exam information and change the data if it really did not work out. Now that he did not need to do so, he did not need to be punished by the system. This was something to be happy about.
At the same time, Xiong Ying's office.
Kota Aizawa was sorting out the files of the students who were assigned to Class A when he heard from the messenger, Midnight Hero, that the principal wanted to see him.
When he arrived at the principal's office, he saw the head teacher of Class B, Guan Chi Cilang, who was also called in. He was sitting on the sofa and reading documents. Principal Nezin saw Kota Aizawa was also there, so he told them the purpose of calling them to the office. He wanted to know their opinions about a special student among the freshmen.
Kota Aizawa picked up the documents on the coffee table and flipped through them. After a while, he said calmly, "In other words, this student grew up in an abnormal environment. In addition to his identity, there is a certain risk, so we have to choose which class to accept him into, right?"
"You can put it that way."
Principal Nezin calmly took a sip of tea, held the teacup, and looked at the reflection in the green tea. "Although Ormet led the team to successfully destroy the laboratory, all the information was destroyed at the last moment. We don't know much about this special experimental subject, but from the abilities he has shown so far, he is indeed a certain danger. He is also easily targeted by the dark forces. So no matter which class he goes to, as the head teacher, the corresponding burden will be heavier, whether in terms of education or protecting the students."
"Principal, let's put him in my class. I have confidence in educating him well!" Guan Chi Cilang said firmly.
Principal Nezin did not immediately nod. Instead, he looked at Kota Aizawa, who was deep in thought. "What do you think?"
"Principal, I have a question."
Kota Aizawa stared at the photo of Hikari The Lion on the document. "Does this child have the common sense of a normal person after being rescued?"
"He has the common sense, but it seems that because he has been away from normal society for too long, his knowledge of personality is almost blank."
"Then why does he want to be a hero?
Is it the fledgling effect caused by being rescued by Ormet? "Kota Aizawa continued to ask.
Principal Nezin shook his head, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was satisfied with Kota Aizawa's attentiveness. "No, it is said that he did not show any interest in the profession of a hero before, but after saving a life, his attitude gradually changed, and he set becoming a hero as his goal."
Kota Aizawa opened his bloodshot eyes and turned a page in his hand. He happened to see the photo of Ormet rescuing the boy at the beginning. The boy's delicate face was full of vigilance, and his amber eyes hid indifference and confusion. He was like a dangerous big cat that was thrown into an unfamiliar environment, and he was full of distrust of everything around him.
"I'll accept this student. Arrange for him to be in Class A," Kota Aizawa said calmly.
Akigan Cilang frowned and disagreed. "But your ability can't restrict him, right?
I'm better at training. "
Kota Aizawa's mouth twitched. "You don't have to worry about that. I'll arrange special training for him."
"Well, if you insist, I don't mind."
Principal Nezin sipped his tea with satisfaction. "Then it's settled. Aizawa -san will have to put in more effort in the future."
