"This is..." Kanaria fell into deep thought. "Are you sure about this?"@@@@
"Yep." Clovis nodded with a serious expression. "This city is a bit far from any other holes leading to the Subterranean World. In other words, we can fight a lot of powerful beasts."
"But if we do this, our killing rate will drop significantly. We might not have enough to reach the next tier. I mean, you are the problem!" Kanaria didn't hold back anymore when talking about Clovis's evolution rate.
Clovis shook his head. "Don't worry. It should be fine."
There were two reasons why Clovis could assure her. First of all, they would get some money from the mayor, which allowed him to increase the item limit.
In addition, they would still be hunting a lot of beasts, which would give them a sum of money.
Once they had reached Tier 2, he planned to focus on all the items for his own improvement. It should work out somehow.
Kanaria thought for a moment. "If the leader has decided, then I have no choice but to follow it. However, I'm going to confirm this one thing. Are your decisions considered a calculated risk or reckless plan?"
Clovis gulped down. Kanaria's mood was especially bad today, but he could understand her since he had put her under a lot of stress today. His expression turned serious. "It's a calculated risk. If you think it's the latter and I end up becoming similar to Ivan, feel free to punch me in the face."
Kanaria fell silent for a moment before sighing. "Alright."
"Thank you. Well, the reason I want to do this is because we'll be fighting against those strong people. If we get used to the weakened beasts, we won't be able to fight against them."
"That's true. Our opponents will be either Tier 2 or Tier 3. According to the mayor, there are some participants who are Tier 4. If we can't defeat them, we won't be able to produce any result." Kanaria nodded in understanding. "Well, you and Jay are probably the only ones who can go against them. But the problem with this competition is that the maximum limit of people in one group is six."
"Indeed." Clovis nodded. "Because of this number, we will be at a disadvantage since we only have four people. However, this is a challenge for us as well. I'm planning to build an elite group where each person can go against a hundred. If we can't do this, then we have to know our weakness as quickly as possible."
"Don't tell me, this is your main reason?" Kanaria squinted her eyes.
"Hahaha." Vania only laughed it off while helping their group load their luggage into the vehicle. "Do you need money?"
"Nah. We've just got a lot of money recently, so we'll be spending it for comfort in that city... or someone is going to bite me." Kanaria had a troubled face while glancing at Melody. "Anyway, we have to go."
"Take care." Vania waved her hand while seeing them off.
Fortunately, the journey was rather peaceful. While they encountered some beasts on the way, there was no horde, allowing them to reach the Stellar City pretty swiftly.
...
Three hours later.
"Your ID please." The soldier extended his hand, stopping them at the city gate.
Jay gave the four IDs to the soldier.
"Mhmm?" The soldier frowned when looking at their data. "You're not from here?"
"Yes."
"Purpose?" The soldier asked.
"The competition is one month from now."
The soldier registered them right away and handed them back their IDs. "Alright. You are free to go. Welcome to the city."
"Thank you." Jay rolled up the window before stepping on the gas. Clovis and Melody, who were in the back seat, couldn't help but take a peek, seeing the city for the first time.
"So... this is the Stellar City." Clovis's eyes turned into stars, feeling the excitement to explore this new city.
