Jimmy was with two contestants, it was the final stretch, Jimmy believed he could do it, he was so close, he just needed to try harder, and maybe he'll make it, he was crazy when he thought he could do this, but he was doing it in a surprising way.
Victoria placed several buttons in front of the participants and began to project several questions.
Victoria — "This is an intelligence contest, you will see a question, you have to read it, when you touch the button the question will disappear and you will have to say the answer, this is made for those cheaters who press the button and then read"
Victoria moved to some bars, the three bars said zero — "For each correct question you will have one point, for each incorrect answer you will lose one point, your goal is to reach 25 points, if you reach less than 25 points you lose"
Victoria — "I forgot to say, for each correct answer you will make your rivals lose a point, so you can't afford to lose many points, if 2 hours pass and they are still competing, we will choose the one with the most points, yes "If there is a tie, there will be a tie-breaking question."
Victoria looked at the contestants — "They understood."
The 3 participants agreed
Then Victoria asked the first question — "In what year was the city of Eldoria founded?"
Jimmy pressed the button — "It was 15 years ago, on June 1, 2020, although of course before that was when Eldoria was renamed, Eldoria was already a small city that had the name of"
Victoria — "Yes, yes, okay, I was 15 years old when I went to the inauguration of Eldoria, although it was a name change... Let's continue"
Jimmy pressed the button — "2037194 - 34"
Jimmy pressed the button again — "That's false, it's not scientifically proven."
Jimmy — "That's why Tony is the father of windows"
Jimmy — "Nice try, we all know that it is the vice president herself, the president's ex-wife, who is in charge of all the movements of the hero association"
Jimmy — "Thirteen"
Jimmy — "The safest city is Olympia, home of the number 1 superhero Sebastian and main headquarters of the hero association"
Jimmy kept answering correctly
[Jimmy 20 points]
[Competitor one -20 points]
[Competitor two -20 points]
Victoria sighs, at this point she had resigned herself.
Victoria — "Next question"
It said who the class A heroine, Celestia, is dating.
Jimmy was going to press the button, but he stopped and his eyes became small.
Jimmy — *Wait*
Competitor 1 pressed the button — "With the S-class hero Asmodeus"
Victoria — "Correct"
Victoria looked at Jimmy who was confused and raised her lips slightly — *Of course he just arrived in the city, besides that it is obvious that he is a bookworm, he has a lot of knowledge, but when it comes to gossip they are far behind*
Victoria was interested in this, if her theory is correct maybe she had a chance.
Competitor 1 — "Speedy was accused of sexual harassment, but it was a trap to gain views"
Competitor 2 — "The Class B Hero
Competitor 1 — "He was discovered"
Jimmy was getting dizzy.
He didn't remember any of this, when it turned an intelligence competition into a gossip fight.
Competitor 1 — "That's why they are in a loving threesome, but they live in their own little world, it's very obvious to everyone"
Jimmy — *What a trio*
Jimmy was already completely disoriented, they didn't even know who they were talking about, or what they were talking about, he felt very out of place.
When Jimmy realized it, the table was like this
[Jimmy 3 points]
[Competitor one -2 points]
[Competitor two 1 points]
Jimmy realized he lost all the advantage
Maybe you should take pity on the... Well the next answer is simple.
Deep down Victoria had a high ego and wanted to hear what was obvious to her.
The question said "Who is the strongest hero in Eldoria?"
Jimmy touched the button, the two heroes failed to press the button.
It was a very simple question, the most worried was competitor one, he was far behind, he didn't know if he could recover.
Jimmy as if it were the truth — "The Shadow Killer"
Everyone was shocked at how stupid his answer was.
Competitor 1 pressed the button without hesitation — "Elementary, she is the only S-class heroine in Eldoria, what nonsense are you talking?"
Even Victoria looked angry.
Jimmy — "If I may justify my answer"
He looked at 3 angry glances in his direction, of course he knew it, the influence of Elementary at this time was absolute, he was not exaggerating when they said that it was a heresy if someone says that Elementary was not the most powerful heroine, but it was worth it to him.
He knew more than anyone the reach of his former friend.
Jimmy — "I ask you... 3 years ago at night, who owned the streets, or rather, how many owners did they have... The nights in Eldoria were hellish"
...
Jimmy — "If we talk about it, only 1 in 50 heroes only handle the night shift, and they are not A-rank or B-rank Heroes, those heroes prefer to be in the light of day, soaking in the glory, attention"
...
Jimmy — "The C-Rank and D-Rank heroes had a hard time at night, but they couldn't cope, it was impossible, many heroes were seriously injured, the night was 500 percent more unsafe than the day, but no class "Elementary itself did nothing."
This made the 3 of them look angrier.
Jimmy — "But everything changed two years ago, When a shadow invaded the night, the smaller gangs began to run in fear, the medium-sized gangs began to be demolished and those large families that terrorized were demolished in a week"
Then Jimmy stood up — "In two years that he was at night crime was reduced by 90 percent, being just as safe as the day ironically, and it was a man who found a night city gone crazy, and the one with minors reinforcements kept the entire city down"
Then Jimmy just breathes - "I favor the results, Elementary is powerful, I don't doubt it, but I doubt that she can do the same as what he did, she takes care of the city at night and manages to go to the most dangerous areas." marginalized, if one day he stops taking care of the night... Well, it will be a big problem."
Jimmy softens his gaze — "The city can survive without Elementary, there are many class A and class B heroes who guard the city... But at night he is the only one who guards the city in its entirety, those night heroes are at strategic points but the reality is that they are only guards"
Jimmy looked at Victoria - "I'm going to make you a promise, I'm never going to tell you a lie to get on your good side, if you want to tell me why I have these ideas... It's okay, after all I'm an idiot who has no skills." surprising"
Victoria only lowered her head, she knew deep down, that she could not defeat the shadow murderer, her presence was enough for him to kneel, she knew well about the situation of the night, but she did nothing.
The only one who genuinely sought to protect people in the dark was him, of course it was less attractive to do the night watch and there was no public, but, still, people needed to be protected at all times.
The indicators show that night is the time when crimes skyrocket, but he kept all that crime, it was at the same level as the day and she had 10 times more staff.
An alarm rang and she looked at the clock — "It's been 2 hours, there's no way it's over, the winner is Jimmy."
Competitor two wanted to reply, but he looked at Victoria and he just looked away.
Victoria — "Classes start in a month and a half, but come to my office in 3 days"
Jimmy smiles, he had done it
[Winner Jimmy]
