Abigail said softly, "Anyway, there's no need to rush now, we can take it slow."

“That makes sense. Alright then, it’s about time for a break. I need to get back to my research, so I’ll be leaving now.” With that, Kinus stood up and left the room.

After Kinus left, Abigail stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside. How to put it? At first, Abigail was somewhat interested in becoming the head of the House of Evolution, but after a day or two, she was exhausted by the sheer number of tasks. So, Abigail formed a team and delegated all the responsibilities to them, while she began to slack off.

"Where should I go for fun today? Speaking of which, the Hero Association seems to have extended some kind of invitation to me recently. Today is also the 25th Hero Assessment by the Hero Association. I remember Saitama is going. How about I go to City A to check it out?"

Muttering to herself, Abigail then turned and left the room.

..................

"Everyone, I'm sure you all already know the purpose of today's discussion. This House of Evolution that recently appeared is clearly the one we've been paying attention to before. However, according to our previous investigation, the House of Evolution has been completely destroyed, although we don't know who did it. But we found traces of flames and the corpse of a strange man in a laboratory in the nearby mountains, which is very similar to the attack method of a boy we've been monitoring."

"Are you talking about the one from before? I heard he'll be participating in this hero selection test as well. Is that true?"

"Based on the situation, that's probably the case. Although it's not confirmed yet, it's highly likely."

"That's good. But judging from their activities, the House of Evolution seems to be beneficial to us as well. It seems that many genetically optimized individuals will be participating in the 55th Hero Selection Test."

"That's good news. Recently, there have been many participants in the hero evaluation test, but the quality of the heroes has been low. If this group of people joins, our situation will improve a lot. By the way, how did this hero evaluation test go?"

"According to statistics, a total of 11,628 people participated in the 55th Hero Assessment Test, which is 22% more than the previous test."

Upon hearing this data, everyone's face lit up with joy.

"Great. The pass rate has been declining in recent years. Hopefully, we can get off to a good start this time."

"Speaking of which, how are the preparations going regarding the plan to collaborate with the House of Evolution to create heroes?"

"An invitation has been sent to Miss Abigail of the House of Evolution. However, there has been no response yet."

"I really don't understand. He looks like just a kid, so why is he the head of the House of Evolution?"

"That's beyond our knowledge. We'll have to wait until Miss Abigail arrives to find out."

"Let's leave it at that for now and wait for the results of this hero evaluation experiment. Hopefully, the rankings won't continue to decline."

..................

"Is this City A? It's definitely different from other cities. Gorilla, do you know where the Hero Association exam is held?"

"Lady Abigail, shouldn't we be going to the Hero Association headquarters? What are we doing at the exam location?" the armored gorilla asked curiously.

"Of course I'm going to go check it out. It just so happens to be during this hero assessment test, it would be such a waste not to go. And I'll also see an old friend while I'm at it, it's been a while since I've seen him, I really miss his big bald head," Abigail explained.

"The bald man... could it be..." Hearing Abigail mention the bald man, the armored gorilla couldn't help but recall the terrifying man from before. A cold sweat instantly poured down its back.

"By the way, do you even know where the exam venue is?"

“I know, I downloaded the entire map of City A before I came. Since Lady Abigail wants to go, I will take you there now.”

After walking for about half an hour, Abigail saw a large, hemispherical black building in the distance, which looked like a stadium. In front of the stadium was a sign that read "Sixth Special Venue".

Abigail and the armored gorilla's arrival attracted the attention of the people queuing at the door, and just then, a voice that Abigail recognized came over.

"Abby, are you here to take the hero test too?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Abigail saw that familiar, reflective bald head again.

Chapter 81 Heading to the Hero Association

"Bald guy, I didn't expect to actually run into you. Looks like I'm in luck. And the robot guy too, how have you been?" Abigail said happily as she saw the two people walking over.

“I’m doing very well with my teacher, Miss Abigail,” Gerald replied earnestly.

“By the way, Abby, I remember the women’s testing venue isn’t here, are you sure you’ve come to the wrong place?” Saitama said, somewhat puzzled.

“Miss Abigail, the women’s session seems to be in the third session. If we don’t hurry, we might miss it,” Jeros said from the side.

"What are you all thinking? I'm not here to take any hero test, I'm just here to watch the fun. But speaking of which, it seems like they don't let people in here, which is a bit annoying." Abigail watched as the staff at the door checked each registration form before letting anyone in, and she knew she probably wouldn't be able to get in.

“That’s normal, after all, it’s not a place specifically for people to watch. But, Abby, you’re really amazing! I saw it on TV today, the House of Evolution, the evolution of all mankind, it sounds amazing.” At this moment, Saitama suddenly brought up the question about the House of Evolution.

"Excuse me, did you just mention the House of Evolution?" At that moment, a man who looked muscular but resembled an ordinary office worker walked over.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the House of Evolution?" Saitama asked, somewhat puzzled, upon hearing the voice.

"No, actually I just had my genes optimized at the House of Evolution. The House of Evolution is simply my savior! When I was little, I always wanted to be a hero, but I was too ordinary. There was no way I could but become an office worker to make a living. But now, I finally have this body, and I can finally chase my dream again. The House of Evolution is amazing!"

"Wow, I didn't expect the House of Evolution to be so great?" Saitama said with some interest.

“Yes, I suggest you give it a try, no matter what the results are. But speaking of which, I have a feeling I’ve seen your friend somewhere before…” The former office worker looked at Abigail, lost in thought…

"Isn't that Abigail, the highest executive of the House of Evolution? The one known as the blonde fairy!" The former classmate suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"A blonde fairy?" Saitama asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Teacher, I’m afraid these are the nicknames that these people gave to Miss Abigail,” Gerald explained from the side.

On the other side, after the former office worker finished shouting, a commotion suddenly broke out in the line.

"The blonde fairy? Is it that blonde fairy?"

Where is it? Where is it?

"Miss Abigail looks so exquisite on TV, like a fairy! Is that true?"

"Is there any need to say more? It's definitely true."

"What are you all still talking about? Hurry up and go see the real person! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Seeing that more and more people seemed to be paying attention to this place, the former office worker suddenly felt a pang of regret. He had just squandered this opportunity to meet the blonde fairy alone.

"Lady Abigail, there seem to be more and more people. What should we do?" the armored gorilla asked, looking at the crowd that was gradually gathering.

“Let’s go then. There’s nothing interesting here anyway. But I didn’t expect I’m so popular.” Abigail finished speaking, then turned to Saitama: “Bald guy, I’m leaving now. Come visit J City sometime! Bye-bye.”

"Oh. Bye-bye!" Saitama said expressionlessly, then watched as the armored gorilla jumped up and left, leaping over the crowd.

"Speaking of which, I wish I could be as popular as Abby someday," Saitama said with a touch of wistfulness.

“Teacher, you definitely can do it with your abilities,” Jeros said confidently from the side.

"Alright, Jeros, let's go in and test it quickly." Hearing Jeros say this, Saitama immediately became motivated.

"Yes, teacher."

On the other side, after a few jumps, Abigail finally managed to shake off those who wanted to see her.

"Honestly, why are these people all acting like they've met a superstar?" Abigail complained.

“Lady Abigail, you have no idea how popular you are. Right now, the thing everyone in the House of Evolution likes to do most is talk about you,” said the armored gorilla beside him.

"Really? Whatever, it's not a bad thing anyway, in fact, it's a good thing," Abigail said after thinking for a moment.

"By the way, Lady Abigail, where are we going now?"

"Since we can't see the hero test, let's go straight to the Hero Association headquarters. They asked to meet with me before, so let's settle this today."

"Understood, then we'll head to the Hero Association headquarters now."

............

"Is this the headquarters of the Hero Association? It's really impressive. I'll build one when I get back." Arriving at the foot of the Hero Association building, Abigail looked at the black building with some surprise.

"It is said that this building was built by the S-class hero Metal Knight, and its defensive capabilities are extraordinary. Based on our research in materials science, we do not yet have such capabilities," Armored Gorilla explained.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it looks good. We're not building a military fortress, why would we need such high defense?" Abigail said nonchalantly.

"You asked if you are Miss Abigail?" Just then, a man in a black suit walked over.

"I am Abigail. Are you the person sent by the Hero Association to greet me?" Abigail asked, bowing her head.

“Yes, Miss Abigail, please follow me.” With that, the man in the suit led the way.

Entering the building, the interior was surprisingly large, quite spacious for most people. But considering there are many tall heroes among them, this design was probably for their convenience.

The man in the suit took the elevator upstairs and stopped in front of a large door.

"Miss Abigail, this is it. You can just go in." With that, the man in the suit turned and left.

Abigail then jumped off the armored gorilla.

Just then, a somewhat childish voice came from the side.

"Hey, who are you? I've never seen you before."

Turning around, I saw a little girl with green curly hair, wearing a black slit dress, standing there.

Tornado of Terror, the second-ranked S-class hero, is a psychic.

Upon seeing the little girl, Abigail smiled and walked towards the trembling tornado. She then carefully examined her from head to toe.

"Hey, she's actually quite cute up close. It's just that her personality is a bit awful."

"Hey, you're being incredibly rude, you brat. I'm not happy! Don't think you can act so recklessly just because you're invited by the Hero Association. Believe me, I'll throw you out right now!" Tornado said, somewhat annoyed, after hearing Abigail's comments.

"You call me a brat? Aren't you one too? And you even look a bit shorter than me. Call me 'big sister' and let me hear it." After a quick glance, Abigail realized that she was actually a little taller than Tornado, and she mocked her without any politeness.

"Don't call me brat, I'm 28 years old. You should call me sister! No, this isn't the time to discuss that. I know you, aren't you the newly emerged head of the House of Evolution? I really don't understand why the Hero Association values ​​you so much? You're just an impolite brat, aren't you?" Tornado said to Abigail with some dissatisfaction.

"Speaking of which, I don't think we have much in common. Why do you have such a big problem with me? Is it because I stole your character design? Don't worry, I'm a real loli, only 12 years old. Unlike you, a middle-aged woman with a loli face. Just relax. Okay, I won't say any more to you. Unlike someone as idle as you, I have important business to attend to." Abigail said with a smile, then turned away, ignoring the trembling tornado, and walked straight to the door, opening it immediately.

"Don't call me 'auntie'! And who are you calling idle? If it weren't for the Hero Association for telling me not to go out randomly, would I be so free? Hey, don't go! Ignoring me again! Today I want to see what they want from you, and whether you're really worth their attention." Seeing that Abigail had turned away and ignored her, Tornado's temper flared up, and she followed her.

Upon entering the room, Abigail saw a conference room resembling a round table. It was already full of people, who had clearly received word of her arrival.

“Miss Abigail, welcome, welcome. This is the seat we saved for you. Please have a seat.”

At this moment, an old man with somewhat white hair stood up and said to Abigail with a smile.

Abigail didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the seat she had indicated. Just then, Tornado walked in, her appearance seeming to surprise everyone present. The person closest to the door whispered to her, "Miss Tornado, we're about to have a meeting. Would you please go somewhere else to have some fun?"

"What did you say? You think I don't know you're in a meeting? I just came in to see why that rude brat deserves all your attention. Don't worry about me, just do what you're doing, I'll just watch from the sidelines. Or is there something you're unhappy about?" Tornado said, her body glowing green as she floated up. Then, she turned to the armored gorilla watching her with some curiosity and said with displeasure, "What are you looking at?"

“This…” Looking at the trembling tornado’s nonchalant attitude, the man looked at the other people in the seats with some trouble.

“Since Miss Tornado wants to stay here, let her stay here. Let’s continue the meeting,” said one of the bald, middle-aged men. He seemed to hold a relatively high position in the Hero Association.

Abigail turned to look at the tornado floating in the air, and at that moment, a person stood up and said to Abigail, "Miss Abigail, you probably already know why we invited you here."

Hearing the voice from the side, Abigail snapped out of her daze and looked at the person who had spoken.

"I have no idea why you're looking for me; it wasn't mentioned in your invitation."

Right after Abigail finished speaking, another person stood up and said:
