Chapter: Chapter 28
“Seriously, why do they make us do this kind of thing? Isn’t patrolling the streets a job for the police?” on a lively street, a somewhat ostentatiously dressed blonde youth complained to the two girls beside him.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with patrolling here.” One of the girls with a black ponytail had no objection to this. “After all, we just graduated, and the association won’t let us participate in anything too dangerous.”
“But if they don’t let us participate in actual combat, how can we grow? Won’t we just end up being idlers here every day?” the blonde youth said unhappily.
The other girl in the team didn’t join their conversation, but looked down at her phone, appearing as if nothing concerned her.
“Xia Xia, don’t you have any opinions?” the blonde youth asked the girl.
Xia Xia looked up helplessly, “What opinions could I have? I wish I could just stay home and play games every day.”
“Asking Xia Xia a question like that means your brain is malfunctioning.” The black-haired girl said mercilessly.
They had been partners for three years, didn’t this guy understand Xia Xia’s personality yet?
The blonde youth sighed. He knew Xia Xia’s personality, but at this moment, wasn’t he also forced to ask Xia Xia?
“Si Yu, do you think our strength should be considered pretty good?”
“Achieving an A-rank assessment right after joining the association should be considered quite good.” the black-haired girl nodded.
“Then why are the three of us A-rank heroes doing these things that only C-rank heroes would do? It would be better if they even let us stand guard at a bank or something than wander around here aimlessly.”
“Perhaps they’re afraid we’ll mess up,” Xia Xia said, lowering her head.
“But we are all top students from the Central Ability Academy, shouldn’t we be more trustworthy than those who come from unorthodox backgrounds.”
“That’s hard to say.” Xia Xia looked up, her gray eyes showing no trace of light. “There was Sword Saint senior who didn’t undergo any professional training, and most heroes now are like that.”
She put her phone back into her pocket and tidied her gray short hair, which had been slightly messy by the wind. “I have a premonition that something is about to happen.”
Upon hearing Xia Xia’s words, the blonde youth’s expression immediately turned serious. His hand was already on the stun gun at his waist, ready to draw and fire at any moment. “Is it something big or small?”
“Hard to say, the future is very blurry…” Xia Xia’s brows were furrowed. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Her ability was precognition. Rated A-class, she could predict upcoming events around her with relative accuracy. Before, the images her ability provided were always relatively clear.
But this time, the images were blurry and unclear. She could only see two figures, one black and one white, flash before her eyes, and nothing else.
“I feel like something big is going to happen,” Xia Xia said with some worry.
Her worry did not affect the hot-blooded blonde gorilla next to her. “Then if we resolve this matter, won’t that prove our abilities?”
“Don’t think of things so simply. If even Xia Xia can’t see through the future, can we really handle it?” Si Yu said coldly. They were still just graduated students, with considerable shortcomings compared to those battle-hardened professional heroes.
“In any case… let’s report to the association first.” Xia Xia took out the communicator clipped to her waist. “This is A5 squad, Xia Hongying. There may be a major event happening in the H564 area. Requesting reinforcements.”
“Understood, A5 squad. Please try to control the development of the situation until reinforcements arrive.”
“Understood.”
…
“This young girl is not bad. At least she knows to report to her superiors when something happens.” In a large room, several benevolent-looking old people were watching the three young boys and girls on the big screen.
Hearing her old colleague say that, an old woman with a red rose pinned to her chest smiled, “Little Xia is indeed a talented child, but unfortunately lacks drive.”
“Lu Si Yu has too cold a personality, somewhat resembling Xiaobai… By the way, who has the one-eyed dragon arranged for?”
“…Just the Xiaobai you just mentioned.”
“Good heavens, I thought they would send Golden Swallow or Fierce Tiger, but the one-eyed dragon actually called out Xiaobai.” The elder who asked the question had a face filled with joy. “Good, good, let those little brats also feel the care of their seniors.”
“Old Sun, I think you can’t wait to see these brats make fools of themselves,” another old man next to him teased the old man who had just asked the question.
“Isn’t it just that I’m happy to hear news of Xiaobai?” Old Sun quickly waved his hands.
Ding-ding-ling… The phone rang.
“Special Operations Group has sent a message, the ‘Bait’ plan has begun.” A dispatcher answered the phone, and after a few brief responses, reported to the old people.
“Good, good, let’s see how far those kids can go.”
