I work 9 to 5 in Chainsaw Man

Chapter 372 Genius and Mediocrity

I am a mediocre person, and I have always known this, but I don't want to admit defeat.

"This is Miss Guangxi, the legendary demon hunter from China!"

The coach on the podium said excitedly, and the white-haired woman with a black eye mask walked up to the stage and said expressionlessly: "Guangxi."

That's my self-introduction.

"What a cool sister!"

Most of the little kids, around seven or eight years old, shouted.

"She sounds amazing! I really want to compete with her!"

These are the words of seven-year-old Yevkani.

When Kolos, who was in the group of carrot-heads, heard this, he turned to look at this withdrawn classmate, confused and even wanted to retort, "Just you?"

But when he thought about this incident later, Koros would think that mediocre people only admire, while geniuses always put themselves on the same level as their opponents in an attempt to surpass them.

There is no doubt that the gap had already emerged at that moment in that year.

This is Kerber's Demon Hunter Training Center.

In addition to the official demon hunters who are recruited from the public, there are also demon hunters who are trained from a young age by the headquarters.

Most of these demon hunters are orphans scattered around the country. The training center will assess their talents when they are ten years old. Those with combat talents will serve as reserve KGB demon hunters, while those without talents will receive cultural education and be sent elsewhere when they reach adulthood.

This is how Yevkani and Koros came here, and fortunately, both of them showed excellent fighting talent.

Of course, not all people here are orphans.

"Rock, are you going to hang out with Dudalinov again? Do you want to play basketball with me? Girls are the most boring!"

Yevkani said while hugging a little boy.

Rock packed up his books and said, "No, I still have to tutor classmate Dudalinov."

"Come on, do you still need to review the things taught in class? How stupid must Dudalinov be? Hahahaha!"

Yevkani laughed, and then felt a murderous intent spreading over his head.

Looking back, the little girl with a red student hairstyle glared at him fiercely and cursed: "Yevkany, if you want to fight, come and try your hand in the practical class next time, and stop plotting behind others' backs!"

When Yevkani heard about the fight, he was very excited: "I couldn't ask for more!"

The two of them quarreled frequently, and the classmates around them were used to it. In the end, Rock and Koros had to separate them together.

"Koros! Don't stop me, I'm going to beat her head off!"

"Alright, alright, isn't that messy enough?"

Kolos looked at his genius friend speechlessly. Being sensitive and alert, he had become friends with the genius. As expected, Yevkani always ranked first in both practical and cultural courses.

And Yevkani never expressed contempt for Koros's terrible performance.

This made Koros feel lucky, but also a little unwilling.

Seeing that Yevkani always went to Dudalinov to make trouble, an inexplicable sense of crisis made him say without thinking: "We are different from Dudalinov. She has parents and a family. We are not the same kind of people."

After this conversation, Yevkanyi never quarreled with Dudalinov again.

Instead, he practiced more frequently with Koros.

In this virtuous cycle, in the assessment when they were ten years old, Koros and Yevkani ranked first and second in the combat assessment.

Ten years old is like a graduation exam for the children in the training center. The cultural students and combatants are divided into batches at this moment.

As the first and second, Koros and Yevkani were taken to a separate classroom, where the woman waiting was Guangxi, who was known as the legendary demon hunter.

Yevkani lived up to everyone's expectations and bravely rushed forward. After being suppressed by Guangxi's punch, Koros stood opposite him obediently and said, "Hello, teacher!"

Guangxi held down the struggling Yevkani and said, "Next, I will teach you. After five years of assessment, the winner will become my apprentice."

It was a very plain speech, but Koros knew that this was his chance.

A person will encounter countless opportunities in his life, but there will always be only one or two that you will grab and hold tightly.

Koros knew that as long as he worked hard enough and became the apprentice of a legendary demon hunter, his life would soar!

However, reality slapped him hard in the face!

Although he practiced the fighting skills taught by Guangxi repeatedly every day, honing his will and physique, the obsession with victory was like an ant gnawing at his sanity deep in his heart.

He must win! This is his only chance!

During the first year's year-end written examination, after two probing moves by Yevkani, Koros was thrown heavily to the ground by Yevkani.

He lost.

The loss was no surprise.

He forgot that Yevkanyi was a genius, a genius that he could never catch up with or reach no matter how hard he tried!

Kolos, who was lying on the ground, seemed to feel the disappointment and boredom in Guangxi's eyes. He looked up and saw Guangxi still had no expression on his face.

Yevkani smiled and tried to pull him up, but he shook his hand away.

He left the examination venue like a dog licking its wounds, and huddled in a corner, crying silently.

Koros knew that he could not be a match for Yevkani.

As soon as this thought came into his mind, Koros became jealous and crazy!

Why? Why couldn't he beat Yevkanyi? It must be because he didn't work hard enough!

In the second year, Koros trained with an even crazier belief than in the first year, and he became stronger.

In the end-of-year match, he managed to draw with Yevkani!

Geniuses can also be surpassed!

This idea appeared in his mind, making him extremely happy. As long as one works hard enough, a genius can be surpassed!

Koros worked harder and harder every year, and the five-year battle ended with Yevkani winning one game and four draws.

The final five-year duel is the true trial to decide who can become the apprentice of the legendary demon hunter Guangxi.

For the first time, Yevkany defeated a genius! Yevkany!

The joy was beyond words. The result of hard work was so sweet that Kolos almost fainted.

And when he wanted to comfort the failed Yevkani, he heard Guangxi's voice outside the other party's door.

Inside the door, Guangxi said calmly: "Why let Koros win?"

Kolos, who was standing outside the door, felt as if something in his heart had broken.
