Chapter 5: Heartfelt Success Rate
The reason why netizens in the live broadcast room were taking pleasure in the misfortune of others was that most of them were ordinary people who had failed to bond with a hero talent.
Since they had failed, naturally, they didn't want to see others succeed.
Of course, this dark thought wasn't something anyone would openly admit.
...
On the playground, the students couldn't see the live comments, so they were unaware of the netizens' reactions.
At this time, the bonding ceremony was continuing.
"Zhang Hongfang."
The head teacher called out another name.
A petite girl responded quickly, walking nervously towards the stage.
It was evident that she was quite tense; every step she took seemed unsteady, as if she might fall at any moment.
By the time she reached the stage, her pale forehead was dotted with fine beads of sweat.
Everyone thought this girl, given her nervous demeanor, would be another failed case.
Unexpectedly, when her right hand touched the Hero Meteorite, the black stone began to emit a faint light after a short while.
The energy monitoring device also glowed.
It
was a blue light.
Even under the bright morning sun, the blue glow was unmistakable.
"Blue light? That's a B-level hero, she succeeded!"
"I wonder which hero's talent she bonded with? If it's B1, that would be amazing!"
"It's probably not B1. There are rumors that the difficulty of bonding with B1 is as high as an A-level hero."
"The second person to try and she succeeded? I'm so envious!"
"Ah, it's just a B-level hero's talent. What's there to envy? In the secret realms, such a talent is the most dangerous."
"Sigh! If only I had chosen a B-level hero to bond with back in my day…"
The students on the playground, seeing someone successfully bond, their eyes lit up with hope.
The teachers and leaders in the stands also perked up!
While a blue light indicated a B-level hero, if it was the talent of B1, it held substantial potential.
Moreover, this was only the second student to test, and a direct success was undoubtedly a great start, boosting the morale of the students!
When the girl named Zhang Hongfang opened her eyes, joy was evident on her face.
After a brief inquiry by the head teacher, he announced loudly:
"Zhang Hongfang, successful bonding!"
"The hero she bonded with is codenamed B1."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in a chorus of gasps.
The talent of B1, the female hero, was quite remarkable, somewhat similar to S2.
Although not as powerful as S2, it was a potent superpower with great potential, worthy of significant investment in training.
What's more important, the difficulty of bonding with B1 was high, higher than some A-level heroes!
Zhang Hongfang's nervous state when she went on stage yet still managing to bond successfully was incredibly lucky.
From then on, her fate would change. As long as she didn't fall in the secret realms, she was set to become at least an elite member of society, enjoying top-tier resources inaccessible to ordinary people.
Thinking of this, many students looked at Zhang Hongfang on the stage with eyes filled with envy and longing.
Chapter 5: Heartrending Success Rate
In the live broadcast room, many viewers expressed envy, jealousy, and resentment through their comments.
"Damn, she actually bonded with B1? How did she manage to bond so easily?"
"Is she lying?"
"Who would dare to lie about this? Falsely reporting one's bonded hero can lead to a minimum of ten years in prison, or even a life sentence!"
"B1's talent is the ability to control wind, right?"
"Yes, she can create and control hurricanes. In Sam Country, there's a powerful individual with B1's talent who can not only fly using wind but can also create terrifying tornadoes, almost equivalent to a Level 5 fighter!"
"As long as this girl doesn't fall in the upcoming secret realms, she's going to be a powerful woman in the future!"
"Envious! I chose B1 as my bonding target too. Why did I fail?"
"I thought she would definitely fail when I saw her nervousness on stage. I can't believe she actually succeeded."
"Ah, how unfair fate is!"
...
After Zhang Hongfang stepped down from the stage, several college recruitment officers rushed towards her, surrounding her with various offers and promises, trying to recruit her to their schools.
They were so eager to recruit her on the spot...
This eagerness surprised many students and also fired them up.
Everyone now wanted to be the next Zhang Hongfang!
Witnessing all this, Chen Ye also had a look of anticipation on his face.
However, what others were anticipating was a hero of A-level or even S-level, or at least a top B-level hero.
What Chen Ye was anticipating was a C-level hero, widely recognized as useless...
The hero talent bonding continued.
However, lucky individuals like Zhang Hongfang were few and far between.
After all the students of Class 1 had been tested, only nine had successfully bonded.
Considering that Class 1 had a total of seventy-six students, the success rate was only about one in seven, including Zhang Hongfang.
Moreover, among the nine who successfully bonded, only two were with A-level heroes, and the remaining seven were with B-level heroes.
There were no S-level heroes at all!
This indicated how low the success rate for bonding with heroes was.
Nevertheless, the teacher of Class 1 was overjoyed.
His class had produced two A-level hero bonders, as well as Zhang Hongfang, who bonded with B1...
This result was quite impressive.
Even the principal nodded in satisfaction.
Next, it was Class 2's turn, Chen Ye's class.
"Zhou Min, bonding failure..."
"Wang Yuqing, bonding failure..."
"Zhang Chao, bonding failure..."
...
For some reason, Class 2 didn't have the initial success of Class 1. In fact, more than thirty students in a row failed to bond.
Not a single success.
Even the students the stern teacher had high hopes for failed to bond.
Suddenly, the teacher's face darkened as if it were the bottom of a pot.
Without the contrast of Class 1, it might have been bearable.
But Class 1 had done well, and now half of her class had been tested without a single successful bonding...
Such a poor performance made it impossible for the teacher to be happy.
At that moment, the teacher didn't even dare to look in the direction of the school leaders.
She knew without looking that the principal's face must be very grim.
...
In the live broadcast room, there was a wave of mocking and schadenfreude comments.
"Damn! Is this class cursed? More than thirty in a row, all failed to bond?"
"That's the norm! The success rate for bonding with heroes is low, you know?"
"But wait,
isn't this a key high school? Shouldn't the students here, having parents with hero talents, have a higher success rate in bonding?"
"Most likely, these kids aimed too high, trying to bond with S-level heroes."
"Look at that principal's face, he's so pissed, haha..."
"If nobody else in the class manages to bond successfully, that teacher's in trouble."
