Lim He: Hey, Wei Tian. After hearing what Ruiks said, what do you think?
At that moment, only Lim He and Wei Tian were left at the table.
Wei Tian: This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't want to die, then become stronger. If you want to die, it's easy.
Lim He: Don't be so serious. The atmosphere's getting kind of awkward.
Wei Tian: I've said what needed to be said. As for what you're doing tomorrow, figure it out yourself.
With that, Wei Tian walked back to his room.
Lim He: Uhhhhhhh.
The next day… Lim He woke up early.
Lim He: Haa… ah.
He stretched lazily.
Lim He: …(A world where the strong prey on the weak, huh… I think I should invite her.)
After saying that, Lim He dashed out of the house.
Bang.
This time, instead of taking the stairs, he jumped straight down from several floors up. (It was a rented building.)
Thud! After landing, Lim He didn't stop for a second. He ran straight toward XX Hospital.
Lim He: I have to use my fastest speed. I can't afford to waste even a single second.
Roasted Sweet Potato Vendor: Fresh, hot roasted sweet potatoes!
Lim He: Mm!
At the Superpower Headquarters…
Wei Tian: I'd like to apply to become a superpower user.
Receptionist: Certainly. (Another kid who hasn't even grown up yet.)
Meanwhile…
Lim He: Boss, how much are the roasted sweet potatoes?
Vendor: Three dollars for one, five dollars for two.
Lim He: I'll take one.
Vendor: Thank you for your purchase!
Lim He: So hot… hoo, hoo, hoo…
Lim He held the freshly roasted sweet potato and kept blowing on it.
Lim He: I'll bite! Amm!—
His expression immediately turned sour.
Lim He: …It's burning me to death!
An hour later, Lim He returned home.
Lim He: Emmm, roasted sweet potatoes are really delicious… just a bit too hot. …Did I forget something?
At the Superpower Headquarters…
Examiner: Here, this is your ID. Congratulations on becoming a D-rank superpower user.
Wei Tian: Alright.
Examiner: Honestly, I'm quite surprised. It's been eight years since someone last qualified directly as D-rank.
Wei Tian: Do you have someone here named Lim He?
Examiner: Yes. You know him? He's quite a genius too—reached E-rank at such a young age. Though his reaction speed leaves… more than a little to be desired.
Wei Tian: I see. Thank you.
With that, Wei Tian turned and walked out.
Wei Tian: (Only E-rank, huh?)
At Lim He and Wei Tian's home…
Lim He: Ah! That's right—I still need to find Xuan Lan!
He flung the door open and rushed out again.
Lim He: Chargeeeee!
At XX Hospital…
Nurse: Miss Xuan Lan, according to the report, you're ready to be discharged. However, we recommend that you rest for one more day before leaving.
Xuan Lan: Alright, thank you for the reminder.
Bang!
The door was shoved open forcefully.
Lim He: Xuan Lan!
Xuan Lan: What's up? I thought you weren't coming back for treatment anymore.
Lim He: Oh right, speaking of that—I still haven't paid my medical bills. Miss Nurse, how much is it?
Nurse: Two hundred thousand.
Lim He: Maybe I should just jump down from here instead.
Xuan Lan: Let's not. Someone has already paid for us.
