I commend whoever made this test. It truly takes great skill to come up with such questions (such specific ones too). Also, as for the question about capital letters, certain words have appeared in both capitalised and non-capitalised form, so I just ticked all the ones which have ever appeared capitalised. I hope that is what you meant in the question O.O? But I guess I will just have to wait patiently now. Good luck grading all the answers.

It was really fun completing this quiz! Does PR plan to do any more of these eventually? :3

dollyfishe I checked and it looks like you didn't leave that question blank. So you can sigh with relief. CherryChimchim Thanks for the praise. I had fun making this quiz as well. (Yes. You were supposed to tick any words that had been capitalized in the text.) Krescent I'm glad you had fun! I was worried that people would be too frustrated by the quiz to even attempt it. Not sure about any future quizzes, though. We'll see!

I have been looking at the quiz ever since it was posted but now that I have re-read the whole series, I'm confident enough to do the quiz - thank you so much, it's so interesting to do it! x3 I made a forum account just for this, now xD

The quiz form is now closed and is no longer taking submissions. Thank you to everyone who participated. Answers (and the winner!) will be announced soon.
(I was glad that so many people liked No Hero! So even if you don't end up winning, know that you have at least made someone out there very, very happy.)

About five days after the quiz ended and I'm finally back with results. (Sorry, I was a bit busy and I had to double-check a certain question...) Surprisingly, not one person sent in a troll response. Many thanks for that.
Congratulations to CherryChimchim for scoring 25/25 on the quiz! Honorable mentions to Krescent, popipo, and Moony for scoring 24 points and ShyFeather for scoring 23.
Answers and Explanations: 1. What time of year is Ri Xiang Yan's birthday most likely in? (V1C10 and V2C4) Late Spring/Early Summer
In V1C10, Ah Ye states that he would have gone back to visit his brother anyway because Ri Xiang Yan’s birthday was next week. Ah Ye later tells Kyle in V2C4 that he is going to begin searching for a summer job. Logically, Ah Ye would be looking for a summer job in late spring to early summer. With no indication of a large time jump between V1 and V2, Ri Xiang Yan’s birthday should take place around the same time of year
Or think of it this way: Ah Ye has only just started his summer break, and if Ri Xiang Yan’s birthday has only occurred recently in the story timeline, it has to be early summer at the latest. A bit earlier and you might call it late spring.
2. When Aren reverts back from being Dragon Peace, what is the last visible part of his body to return to normal size? (V3C5) Head
3. What is Ji Luo Chu's nickname? (V2C7, V3C7) Ah Chu Edit: The question was somewhat vague, so Luo Chu-ge was also accepted as an answer.
4. Who is the trashiest? (V1C7) Ezart The definition, “Only the strong can call the weak trash,” was used to compare trashiness here. Ah Ye directly says that Ezart is trashier than Charles and that Charles is stronger than Ezart. Then Ah Ye states that Ezart has never beaten him before. Therefore, Ezart should be trashier than Ah Ye. Since Ezart is trashier than both these people, he is the trashiest of the three.
5. What does May eat for breakfast? (V2C1) a poached egg, boiled vegetables, one fruit, and a cup of black coffee
6. Which of these terms should be capitalized? Many errors were made… On both my part and yours! A lot of people seemed to have been tripped up by this question, even after I accepted Hollow Roar and Generation Count/Generation Number.
Capitalized: Adjudication Squad (V1C8) DSII (V1C9, all other instances) Generation Count/Generation Number (V1C1, V1C4) Normally generation number isn’t capitalized, and I marked it as such, but after seeing several people submit answers with this, I went back to check. It is capitalized in some chapters. I decided not to take this term into consideration when scoring answers, so choosing to include it or not on your list did not affect your score. I apologize for any confusion. Hollow Roar (V1C5, V3C5) I didn’t count V1Prologue and V1C4’s hollow roars as terms, but in V2C9 and V3C1, it’s uncapitalized and being used a specific term. So I also did not mark it against anyone if they had or did not have Hollow Roar on their list. Young Master (V1C1, all other instances when Charles is directly addressing Ah Ye) Four Great Heroes (V2C1, V2C7, V2C9)
Uncapitalized: pureborn (V1C1, all other instances) the young master (V1C1, all other instances when Charles is not directly addressing Ah Ye)
7. Dark Sun will specially help these types of victims. (V2C4) women, weak people, elderly, children And of course, the kind of victim Dark Sun will never give up on saving is a mother and child pair.
8. What is the highest number of bodyguards ever assigned to a "Protect to the Death" mission? (V1C5) 372
9. What time does Charles usually wake up? (V1C1, V2C4) 4:00 P.M. Strangely, the way V3C4 begins makes it sound like Charles woke up right before 5:00 A.M. However, that definitely was not a normal, routine day if Ah Ye even laughed at Charles for completely forgetting how his schedule worked.
10. What does Ah Ye store his textbooks and other school supplies in? (V1C5) A satchel Not an ordinary satchel by any means, but still a satchel. Also called a messenger bag in V1C7.
11. Which two companies exist in the No Hero universe? (V1Prologue and V1C4) KFC, Ferrari In the prologue of Volume 1, Charles brings a bucket of KFC to Ah Ye’s apartment to have a late night snack with him. In V1C4, it is mentioned that Solitary Butterfly drives a Ferrari.
12. What is the name of the group that Ri Xiang Yan controls? (V1C5) Sun Alliance
13. What are the names of the two people Ah Ye has slapped so far? (V3C3) Leanna, Abner
14. What color is Melody's car? (V3C2) Purple
15. How could Ah Ye tell that Ji Luo Chu was First Wind upon encountering him? (V2C5) hair color, height, weight, the shape of his jaw, and the length of his right arm Most people were very nice and even gave me the quote. That was very helpful. Thank you!
16. What are Leanna's two nicknames? (V2C2) Anna, Nana
17. How many female characters have been named in No Hero as of V3C7? Twelve (V1) Jill, Olga, Solitary Butterfly, Briar, Melody (V2) Leanna, Judy, Ingrid (V3) Gong Feng Xiang, Countess Avexila, Sadina, Yina
18. If it is 30 degrees Celsius outside in the sun, Charles will feel like it is ____ degrees on the Kelvin scale. (V1Prologue) 60 + 273 = 333 or 60 + 273.15 = 333.15 K Charles says that when it is 30 degrees Celsius out in the sun, it would feel like 60 degree Celsius weather to him. To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273 degrees.
19. What is the name of the main tranquilizer used to prevent Dragon Peace from rampaging? (V3C4) DP32
20. What factors would influence the tastiness of blood to a vampire? (V3C7) Freshness In V3C7, Charles says, “To a vampire, the only difference in blood is how fresh it is.” The term “food” refers to victims of vampire predation (V1C4, V2C6), in case anyone wondered. Although some vampires prefer to bite females over males because females are apparently cleaner than males, this does not affect the quality of the blood itself. If a vampire was drinking out of a blood bag, whether the donor was male or female would not affect the blood’s taste.
21. Did Melody meet Ah Ye or his brother first? (V3C1 and V3C2) Ah Ye Melody says in V3C2 in her diary entry for the 29th of January 2110 that she met the Sun Emperor for the first time. Melody has already met Ah Ye by her diary entry for the 20th of January 2110 in V3C1. As for how you can tell who wrote the diary entries of V3, there are phrases that hint the author is a vampire. There are the V3C2 quotes: “for the next few hundred years” and “nor do dead vampires,” and V3C3 has the sentences: “This was something that I could actually understand… The lifespan of a vampire was so long that I often felt bored, bored to the point of insanity.” Melody and Charles are the only vampires we know of with connections to the Sun Emperor and Ah Ye, but since Charles should have just met Ah Ye and the Sun Emperor in 2112 (the current No Hero year), the speaker can’t be him.
22. If Ah Ye follows his usual schedule, how many hours of sleep does he get per night? (V1C1) Seven Ah Ye goes to sleep at 10:00 P.M. and wakes up at 5:00 A.M. Although in V2C5, Charles is told that his young master only needs to sleep for two hours every day, Ah Ye usually sleeps for more than that bare minimum. (Interestingly, Ah Ye’s sleep schedule is the same as it was in Eclipse Hunter.)
23. Has DSII ever pretended to be Dark Sun? (V1C6) Yes. For something as important as going to see a new, interesting place and choosing clothes he’s certain that he will like, as well as having a rare visit to see Ezart, there’s no way Ah Ye would allow DSII to stand in for him. Yet Dark Sun appears on the news for saving people from a fire that very afternoon. Charles even says himself that he did not believe it was possible for Ah Ye to have flown to the fire, saved people, and flown back within five minutes. (Also, if the fire was close by, Charles should have noticed.) This means that the Dark Sun that day was an impostor, and the person closest in physical appearance to Ah Ye was DSII (back when he had a body).
If you wanted to be absolutely certain about the identity of the impostor, and if you had read Eclipse Hunter before, you’d also know that DSII has the ability to fly, just as Ah Ye does (even though this was only mentioned and never shown). Since the Dark Sun saving people from the top of the burning building was doing so with the aid of his metal wings, DSII is the only one who would also have that ability.
Either way, there was a 50/50 chance of getting this one right.
24. Which characters are correctly matched with their favorite heroes? (V2C2) DSII: Dragon Peace (V2C1, V2C9) Ji Luo Lun: Dragon Peace (V2C2) Melody: First Wind (V1C10) Ri Xiang Yan: Dark Sun (This is never directly stated, but since Ah Ye is Ri Xiang Yan’s favorite person in the world, Dark Sun should be his favorite hero.) (V2C1) Dell: Solitary Butterfly
Why some of the wrong answers are wrong. (V2C1) Charles’s favorite hero is Dark Sun, not First Wind. (V2C1) Jill’s favorite hero is First Wind, not Solitary Butterfly. Ji Luo Chu’s favorite hero has not been stated so far. However, I hope he likes First Wind the most. (V3C5) Anceo’s favorite hero has not been stated so far. However, based on his reaction when he realized Ah Ye was Dark Sun, it seems doubtful that Dark Sun would be his favorite hero.
25. What are the titles of the Four Great Heroes? (V2C1, V2C10) Solitary Butterfly: the Noblewoman (V2C1, V2C10) First Wind: the Aristocrat (V2C1, V2C10) Dragon Peace: the Beast (V2C10, V3C6) Dark Sun: the Grim Reaper
Thank you to everyone who was dedicated enough to No Hero to spend their time searching for these answers. Your actions have warmed my heart.

Thanks for grading our answers so quickly! Ah darn! So close! > < off by one~ haha i got tripped up by Xiang Yan's birthday, I think I overestimated the time gap between Ah Ye's statement and the time to mid spring! It's truly admirable CherryChimchim that you got all 25/25!

"(V1C10) Ri Xiang Yan: Dark Sun (This is never directly stated, but since Ah Ye is Ri Xiang Yan’s favorite person in the world, Dark Sun should be his favorite hero.)" - ahs, i always thought Ri Xiang Yan hated it when Ah Ye plays hero and gets himself injured, hence I thought he didn't have a favourite hero and didn't choose this Thanks Tress for the fun quiz and congrats to CherryChimchim for that full marks!

This contest has been closed for a while, but I came back to add that the answers given for this quiz may no longer be reflected in the actual text soon. I'll be doing some consistency edits for No Hero the next time I go back to read it, and this will include things like fixing capitalization for terms. (Ah... Capitalization...)
