The atmosphere in the cabin was the exact opposite. They were celebrating their victory and how they managed to perform much better than they originally expected.
Once they saw Clovis entering the cabin to get some rest, they immediately pointed at him.
"Woah! He is here!"
"Uoh! Congratulations, Libation Fiesta."
"I'm sorry for doubting you yesterday!"@@@@
The people gathered around Clovis's group.
Clovis gave a wry smile while saying, "It's nothing much. Instead of me, you should praise yourself. I believe that all of you have the ability to do it. If you can perform at your best, I'm sure that we can win. I'm simply reminding you to do that instead of getting fixated on the enemy's strength. You have built your strength from the beginning, so you should trust yourself more."
"Gah. What is this? Are you a saint?"
"I'm not sure, but he looks so handsome just now."
"Shut up. Don't you see the woman next to him? How can you compare yourself to her, gorilla?"
"What did you say?"
The people were commenting on each other in high spirits. No one cried since there were no deaths or injuries leading to retirement.
"My man, you are too humble for your own good. If you keep doing this, people will just tell you that it's an insult." One of them at the very front shook his head helplessly.
"Hahaha. I'll take your word to heart." Clovis chuckled before his body swayed to the right.
"Oop?" Kanaria caught him with a dumbfounded expression. "Are you okay?"
One of them suddenly remembered that Clovis was also injured pretty heavily. He hurriedly said, "Oi. Let him go and get some rest. He is also one of the heavily injured people."
"Who are you talking about?"
"You know who I'm talking about. The one with the Hacfield family's bloodline."
"..." Hana looked hesitant for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. He is an enigma, even for myself. His strength is extraordinary, his judgment is excellent, and his character is pretty calculative, but in a good way. It's just... I was a bit confused when Uncle Ran told me he wasn't serious yet. It was as if he was hiding it intentionally."
"Mhmm?" Her grandma looked confused. It took her a moment to reply to that statement. "Does that mean Clovis Hacfield will become the second Tier 9 explorer in the Hacfield family?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I've told you back then that Tier 9 explorers have something special in them, right? It's not about hard work or numbers. It's as if they are granted an ability directly from the 'Gods' who run this 'simulation.' I can't help but wonder if the old mad man told him not to use it or something. I don't have any proof though."
"..." Hana fell silent. She didn't think of this. Now that she thought about it, Clovis was extremely strong. If he wanted to protect his identity, he should have gone by himself instead of creating a group.
However, Clovis decided to do the latter and his teammates were extremely powerful. She admitted that Jay and Kanaria were extremely talented and backed by their own 'big' families. But they weren't supposed to be at the level they were currently at.
Why would Clovis create a group?
'Is his 'unique ability' related to his group? Something like enhancing the whole group?' Hana misunderstood all the reasons, but somehow still suspected the 'Another World Mall.'
"Well, this is just my suspicion. It's better to observe him a bit more. Besides, we shouldn't be too proactive with people from the Hacfield family. If you are done over there, come back home quickly, okay?"
"Yes."
...
Because of that conversation, Hana immediately tried to seek Clovis and heard his voice in the hallway. She stopped, waiting for Clovis while overhearing their conversation.
When they met, Clovis asked, "What's wrong?"
Hana looked down for a moment before clenching her hands into fists. Her face looked embarrassed or ashamed. She opened her mouth. "What will you do if I decide to join your group?"
