Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 335: Join Assessment - Part 1

The Revaluation Test was starting today. It took place at Hero Arena. An arena right next to the Hero League HQ.

Hero Arena could accommodate up to ten thousand people. A perfect place for the first Revaluation Test. A thousand heroes took the Revaluation Test and two thousand heroes took an assessment to be a Hero.

Xu Lingxun was standing in front of the Hero Arena as nervousness covered his face. He just passed the physical exam, he and nine hundred ninety-nine people passed the first assessment. They now were directed to Hero Arena for the next assessment.

"Finally, it's our time to shine!" Completely different from Xu Lingxun, Kang Dong-Woo was excited and looking forward to the next assessment.

He still had his dream, it was just the people he looked up to now changed. He still wanted to be Emperor Class Hero, protecting his sisters from any dangers, and he wanted to prove to his father that he could grow strong without his family's assistance.

Kang Dong-Woo said it out loud as he raised his two hands. Such action would certainly attract the surroundings' attention.

"What are you doing? People are looking at us now!" Xu Lingxun pulled Kang Dong-Woo's clothes. He was quite shy, especially because they were much younger than the other participants.

"Huh!? Kids now can become a hero too?" A man that looked in his twenties commented after hearing Kang Dong-Woo's shout.

"Don't you know the Hero League lowered the age restriction to thirteen now?" The young man's friend replied with a shake of his head.

"Wow, the new president is surely desperate even taking kids in!"

"But aren't they amazing? They pass the first assessment?"

A thousand people were eliminated and the best thousand were chosen.

"Tsk, these kids must be using their family's connection! There's no way these spoiled brats could pass that ridiculous assessment!"

The young man and his friend were not far from Kang Dong-Woo. He could hear the conversation clearly, and it pissed him off.

"I will beat them so they know how strong "our family's connection is"," Kang Dong-Woo truly wanted to approach the young man and his friend.

They mocked them, and not only that but they also mocked his Master. Kang Dong-Woo could not slide like that. He won't let them off until he punched them in the face.

"Nope! Don't create trouble for Master! We just need to prove our strength in the assessment," Xu Lingxun had known Kang Dong-Woo for almost a year. He knew his friend's temper well hence he immediately pulled Dong-Woo into the arena with him.

The young man and his friend looked at each other before they grinned. Both were still looking down at Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun.

Xu Lingxun pulled Dong-Woo into the arena. As soon as they entered the arena, they were greeted by the surprised staff.

Yeah, there were ten staff at the entrance of the arena. They were surprised by fifteen years old teens that were about to enter the arena.

Looking at their outfits, they clearly came for the assessment. While the other nine staff were stunned, a male staff approached Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun.

He had sharp eyes as he spotted the logo of the Heero Academy on the martial clothes.

'They must be the rumored fourth and fifth President Xing's direct disciple, Kang Dong-Woo, and Xu Lingxun,'

"Welcome to the Hero Arena, we are the staff to help the participants with the new system of the assessment," The male staff greeted with a slight bow.

"Hello," Xu Lingxun returned the greeting with a slight bow of his head as well, "We are here for the next Hero Assessment,"

"I know," The male staff smiled and showed a book with the title "Monsterclopedia", "Do you have a smartwatch? If not we can give you this book as the next assessment related to hunting mutated beasts. There's a new big update and you will need this for the assessment,"

"We have a smartwatch!" Kang Dong-Woo showed his wrist, "But we already have Monsterclopedia App in our smartwatch,"

"Good, then you need to update the app to the latest version. Please follow me, I have to update the app manually as we haven't released the new update to the public," The male staff led the two to a table with a computer behind him.

"Can I have your smartwatch for a moment, please?" The male staff asked politely.

Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun gave their smartwatch without any suspicion.

"What's new about the Monsterclopedia?" Kang Dong-Woo could not help but ask. He was curious as to why the Hero League did not publicly update the app.

"You will eventually know but I can tell you too. Most of the beast's ranks are getting lowered," The male staff put the smartwatch to the device that connected to the computer.

The male staff clicked a few times and then, he just needed to wait for the update to finish.

"What about Fiendish Mane, does its ranks also get demoted too?" Xu Lingxun was surprised by the new update. Usually, an update was adding newly found mutated beasts.

"Hmmm, let me look at it!" The male staff opened his smartwatch and searched for Fiendish Mane. The male staff knew the terror of this Fiendish Mane and it was understandable for them to ask.

"Ah, Fiendish Mane's rank gets lowered to Gold Class 1-Star. It means Fiendish Mane is a lower rank of Gold Class Monster," The male staff informed the two.

Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun were surprised. One of the top ten most dangerous now just a low rank of the Gold Class Monster.

"Ah, the new update also included with the Specter Rank, all Emperor Class Beast lowered to Gold Class and more new beasts are added too," The male staff summarized the update for Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun.

Beep! Beep!

As the male staff finished with his explanation the update also finished. He took the smartwatch and gave them back to the two, "Good luck with your assessment,"

"Thank you," Xu Lingxun took the smartwatch and entered the arena together with Kang Dong-Woo.

As they entered the arena, there was a big crowd. They were all the participants of the Revaluation Test and Hero Assessment.

They picked an empty corner as they started to check the new update. They had the same thought. Despite being the center of attention, they ignored it and looked on their smartwatch.

Yes, look how young they were, they were bound to attract people's attention. In order to avoid the awkwardness, Xu Lingxun was checking on the new update.

The new rank of the male staff talked about was God Class. There was one that was included in the God Class. A creature called Goun, the half-human, and the half-goat.

It did not specifically rank the creature as God Class Monster. But in the description, it potentially could reach God Class rank. They scrolled down and found out the new update was more like a list of the beasts with its description and its potential threat.

Just as they were about to scroll down, a familiar voice filled the arena.

"Good afternoon, my friends~!"

Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun looked toward the voice. They saw their Master enter the stage with a friendly smile.

Both immediately closed the app and focused their attention on the stage.

"Today is the day for the Joint Assessment and I will not take your time for much longer. For those of you who have the smartwatch, you can download the Official Hero App and you will get a mission from your app! Finish the mission given to you by the app and report back to the staff in the front!"

"For those of you who do not have the smartwatch, you can request the mission from the staff! That's simple, and wish lady luck with you guys!"

Heero was about to close the speech with that, but he remembered something.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that you are not allowed to attack or even kill the other participants! We have eyes on each of you and if we find out you break the rule, a death penalty for killing and a severe penalty for attacking!"

After that, Heero left the stage. Leaving the participants flabbergasted with the punishment. The competition was a normal thing on this kind of occasion. But now new rules were made, there would be less competition among the participants.

Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun were not affected by the rules. They never planned to get in the way of anyone, completing the mission was all they wanted.

Kang Dong-Woo opened the official app and registered an account. The moment he completed the registration, a notification popped out.

[Assessment Mission for Apprentice Hero is up]

He tapped on the notification and the mission appeared.

[Assessment Mission (Apprentice Hero)]

Objective: Hunt any Twenty Iron Class Beasts

Type Mission: One Person Mission

Note: Bring the proof to the staff to complete the mission.

Below this, there was an "Accept" button. Kang Dong-Woo only needed to tap the accept and the mission started.
