If one were to say that a college dormitory is 10 kilometers away from the classroom and requires swimming across a lake, then this place must definitely be Hero Academy.
Han Jin is no stranger to this kind of arrangement. It's surprising that in a school for superheroes, a place where everyone in the world is clamoring to get in, such a situation exists. Han Jin feels that maybe he has been out of touch with the world for too long.
The education model of Hero Academy is quite different from that of ordinary schools. Students are basically left to their own devices. You can attend classes if you want, or you don't have to come if you don't want to. As long as you can pass the assessment each term, not only will you not be punished, but you can also receive a generous scholarship.
That's right, in this school, not only do you not need to pay any fees, but also your food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all covered by the Academy. After all, behind the Academy is the World Government, which can fully support this group of superhero students.
The amount of funds that can be received is related to the student's level, which involves the twelve classes of students.
There are four levels of classes: E, D, C, and B. Each level has three classes divided by excellent, good, and poor performance. The E3 class that Han Jin belongs to is the worst class in the entire school and naturally gets the worst treatment.
Speaking of the classification of these classes, it is inseparable from the division of the strength of the superpowered individuals, which are divided into eight levels according to the size of the impact of physical and ability.
The E-level is called the ordinary level, and almost all superpowered individuals start at this level. This level only shows a slight potential for superpowers, but it is uncertain how much future achievement these individuals will have.
Next is the D-level growth stage, which is slightly stronger than the E-level. They have an initial outline of their abilities, and most of them continue to grow.
The C-level is the special ability level, where one can be formally called a superpowered individual. Although a single individual at this level is not very strong, when united, they often have tremendous power.
The B-level is the awakening level, where those who reach this stage are elites among the superpowered individuals. Each person has the ability to stand alone, and even those responsible for guarding Hero Academy - the examiners and guards - are at this level.
In fact, upon reaching the B-level, they are qualified to graduate, but most B-level students choose to continue their studies. If they can break through to the A-level, they can truly be called superhuman and heroes.
It is said that students in the B1 class at the Academy can receive tens of millions of world currency every year, which can be spent on buying equipment or squandering daily. However, there aren't many students with this level of funding.
Fortunately, Han Jin knows that there are all kinds of weird people in the academy, so he doesn't need to worry too much about exposing his identity.
Using a little bit of power shouldn't be detectable, after all, his powers are vast and varied.
But he didn't expect that the so-called classroom was even more chaotic. It wasn't as rundown as the disaster area, but it was just too remote.
In this place, there are only three E-level classes, all of which are simple, single-story buildings. In fact, with the faculty strength of Hero Academy, building more luxurious classrooms would not be a problem. The significant differences in treatment must be due to the deliberate arrangements by the academy.
Han Jin doesn't say much about it; after all, he is not here to learn superpowers. However, if he has the opportunity, he should learn the current script of this world.
The three E-class classrooms are side by side, with a gap of about ten meters between them. The door of each classroom is marked with the class numbers one, two, and three.
Finally, he found the place. Han Jin smiled and walked towards his class. But at that moment, a sharp piece of glass was suddenly shot at Han Jin from an unknown location.
Han Jin casually dodged it, noticing there seemed to be some commotion ahead.
He saw a chubby guy rolled out of the E3 classroom, followed by a young man with a crew-cut, who was accompanied by two thuggish fellows. They had a fierce and evil look.
"Is there no law and order? Is there no justice?" It was not the chubby man speaking, but the crew-cut guy. "Paying back debts is a matter of course. When are you going to pay back the money you owe me?"There were only three people in the front row of the classroom, although there were quite a few people poking their heads out of the classroom to watch the scene, most of them were just there to enjoy the excitement, and no one planned to take action.
The fat guy who had been beaten up had a swollen nose and face, looking like a pig's head: "I only borrowed a thousand, but how could it become ten thousand in just a month? I really can't get the money."
A punk teenager behind the flat-top guy said coldly, "You think we're lending you money for nothing? Our boss lends money at this interest rate. Are you trying to cheat us?"
"But... you didn't tell me all this when you borrowed the money..." The fat guy hadn't finished speaking when he was kicked by another guy with messy hair, "You still dare to talk back? You don't know who my boss is. He's Lei Lie's younger brother, and he always lends money at this interest rate."
Han Jin glanced around and saw that there were quite a few people gloating and some who couldn't stand the scene, but no one stood up.
Well, after all, it is common sense to pay back the money you owe, and there is no need for Han Jin to interfere. Ignoring these people, Han Jin walked towards the classroom door.
However, just as Han Jin was passing by, the fat guy suddenly shot up from the ground and crawled over to Han Jin, hugging his thigh tightly: "Oh, brother, you've finally come. Please save me."
The fat guy smeared his runny nose and tears on Han Jin's pant leg as he spoke. The people of class e3 who knew the fat guy naturally understood that he was desperate to find someone to share his misery, but the people who dared to mess with the flat-top guy knew that he had a very powerful cousin, so they hesitated to step in.
"Hey, who are you? I don't know you at all," Han Jin said, annoyed by the fat guy's persistent hugging.
However, the flat-top guy didn't know the fat guy well and thought he must know Han Jin. In any case, he could find nothing of value in the fat guy, and it would be okay to blackmail this youngster and regain something for himself.
"You're this guy's big brother?" The flat-top guy looked at Han Jin, "In that case, it should be okay for you to help him pay back the rest of the money, right?"
Han Jin was speechless, wondering what on earth this was all about. He couldn't help but blame himself for his bad luck,{"I don't know this fat guy. Why should I help him pay back the money?"}
Who would have thought that at this moment, the fat guy suddenly had no scruples and said, "Big brother, it's you who told me to borrow money from these guys to buy the Red Flame CD. You can't just ignore me."
"Did you hear that? This fat guy said it was your idea, so it's even more appropriate for you to pay it back," The flat-top guy didn't really believe the fat guy, but he wouldn't mind pinning this on Han Jin.
Han Jin sighed helplessly, wondering what kind of people he was dealing with. He knew that no matter what he said, the other party might not let him go easily.
If talking sense wouldn't work, then the only option was to use a brick, Han Jin thought as he smiled at the flat-top guy and asked, "What do you want?"
"We don't want much. This fat guy still owes us six thousand World Coins. You help pay it, and we'll leave immediately," The flat-top guy made a rubbing motion with his left index finger and thumb, mimicking the act of counting money.
Han Jin nodded thoughtfully, looking as if he understood, and then calmly said, "If you want money, I don't have any. If you want my life... I won't give it to you."
"You don't know what's good for you, kid. You dare to mess with us!" Instead of replying, two youngsters behind the flat-top guy began rubbing their hands together, ready for action.
Han Jin looked around and asked, "Isn't fighting prohibited in the academy?"
His question was met with laughter from the flat-top guy and his two companions: "Hahaha, you idiot! The headmaster of this academy once said that those who can't protect themselves are not qualified to be heroes. So, fighting among students is not prohibited here, as long as nobody dies."
Hearing the flat-top guy's response, Han Jin nodded in relief and said, "That makes me feel better." He then pulled a red brick covered in moss from his pocket.
