"What do you think about representing the city in the Stellar City's Explorer Combat Competition?" "Stellar City's Explorer Combat Competition?" Clovis and Kanaria exchanged looks. None of them had heard about it. "You know the Stellar City, right?" Kanaria pondered for a moment. "If I'm not wrong, Stellar City is located in the south of this city. They are a Tier 6 city, which is one tier higher than this city." "Yes. I'm not sure if you already know about this, but all the bases in the west and north have been destroyed. The bases on the east are being attacked right now. To combat this, Stellar City is trying to hold a competition for explorers to raise the people's morale. "They want people to think that the explorers in the city have excellent explorers to resist those beasts. Of course, the participants are only the younger generations. "The competition is divided into three categories based on age. All people under 20 years old will be joining the Young Stellar Competition. Above them is the Rising Star Competition, which has an upper limit of 25 years old. Lastly, the Shining Star Competition, which adds another five years to the upper limit." "So, you want us to fight in the Young Stellar Competition?" Kanaria asked for confirmation. "Yes. We'd like you to represent the city in this competition." Kanaria glanced at Clovis, who actually shook his head. Seeing that gesture, the mayor hurriedly added, "I apologize for not noticing your group sooner. If—" Kanaria stopped him. "It's not about that problem, Mayor. We have another member, Melody. We don't want to leave her because of her age, so even if we enter this competition, we will be joining the Rising Star Competition." "But..." The mayor looked pale. "In the Shining Star Competition, most of the participants are Tier 2 and Tier 3 explorers. I've heard that there are some who have reached Tier 4." "Yes. We're thankful for your information, but that's our stance." Kanaria nodded with a serious expression. However, she added one more thing. "And we still have one more month to prepare."@@@@ Kanaria tugged Clovis's sleeve as if implying that she should take over the negotiation. She understood the mayor's concern after all. "There is one thing I'd like to add, Mayor. Even though we'll be participating independently, how about you support us by giving us resources? You can claim that because of our current Tier, you are in a dilemma. Hence, you give us a test to reach Tier 2 within a month or something like that." "!!!" The mayor's eyes lit up. "That's it. Still, to sponsor you right away will be hard." "We know about that. How about splitting it into three parts, depending on our performance?" "What do you mean?" Kanaria raised three fingers. "First, you can sponsor us right now, which is also a part of the reason for your arrival here. Second, we'll meet in Stellar City one month later. If we reach Tier 2 and Melody is able to become a Tier 3 human, you will give us another resource. Then, once we fight in the competition, depending on our result, you can give us another reward. What do you think?" "That sounds plausible." The mayor nodded. "But are you sure you want it that way?" "Yes. The mayor pondered for a minute before asking, "What do you need from me?" Clovis whispered to Kanaria a few things. After some consideration, Kanaria replied, "We're used to buying everything ourselves. If possible, how about giving us some money for the first and second parts? The third part can be money as well, but if you want to add something else because you're satisfied with our result, then we won't reject it." The mayor looked at Kanaria for a moment. "I've heard that Mr. Haivan's granddaughter is an expert in logistics. I guess that's not an empty claim." Kanaria smiled, even though he misunderstood. "Alright." The mayor stood up and extended his hand. "I'm looking forward to seeing your performance." "We won't disappoint you." Clovis shook his head firmly.
