Another World Mall

"Oh. It seems our guest has arrived…"

"!!!" Ezekiel widened his eyes in shock. When Clovis mentioned it, he had just sensed this person.

As someone at his level, he should have sensed this presence at least a few seconds ago.

Yet he didn't.

When he turned around, he saw a woman. Her appearance could be considered extremely beautiful, but more importantly, her figure looked blurry as though his eyes were playing a trick on him.

"Oi, oi. How many women do you have?" Ezekiel asked.

"What are you talking about? She is the girlfriend of one of my members. Well, she has become a member of the Libation Fiesta as well." Clovis shrugged.

"Am I late here?" Aileen asked while walking inside the mansion. Looking at the old man she had never seen before, Aileen simply nodded her head, not knowing what to say.

However, her interest was glued to the Reolf. "Is this Reolf? The rumored dire wolf partner you have, Clovis?"

"Yeah. Reolf. This is Aileen. You should have seen her photo before." Clovis introduced Aileen casually before asking, "By the way, have you finished everything over there?"

"Yep. My father has given me his permission as well. Besides, thanks to you wreaking havoc over there, my former master is hiding. For the time being, there should be no problem. However, I'm planning to become stronger quickly so that even if they are planning on revenge, I will have the strength to solve it."

"All right. That sounds good to me." Clovis pointed to the mansion. "You should go to Erwin first and have him explain everything about our operation here. Reolf, can you lead her to the mansion? I will stay here for the time being."

Reolf nodded and extended his paw to Aileen as if he was introducing himself.

"Ahahaha. You're really intelligent. To think that you really managed to find me." Aileen chuckled. After nodding to the elder one more time, Aileen walked together with Reolf.

"What the hell is she? Her presence… her existence… Is it a unique ability?" Ezekiel frowned. "Even I have a hard time sensing her. If she becomes even stronger than this, she might be able to completely fool the senses of a Tier 9 human like me."

Clovis nodded in agreement. "That's not a unique ability."

"That's right, Grandfather. I have told Father about it, but it doesn't seem you've heard about it. I had the pleasure of fighting alongside her for a while and confirmed that it's not a unique ability. It's completely a talent that might be able to rival a unique ability," explained Christina.

"Is that so?" Ezekiel frowned. "Still, you are going to fight against those six people, right? Have you chosen your members yet? I'm assuming it will be you, my granddaughter, your two vice captains, your doctor, and probably that person?"

Clovis shook his head. "No. Even if I want to fight that way, those academies are extremely clever. You should have heard about the challenge itself, right? What is it called?"

"!!!" Ezekiel widened his eyes in realization.

"There you have it. Lucifania and Christina can't participate in this battle. However, if we're going to do it, I'm planning to win." Clovis pointed at the mansion. "Hence, I bring out my trump card. This will be perfect as well to introduce my new member."

"But where does she come from? She doesn't seem to be coming from this country."

"She is from Axolonia. However, I have asked the dean to process the matter regarding the transfer student. In paper, she has transferred from the Eldeiswood Academy in Axolonia to the first academy. However, this matter hasn't become public yet." Clovis nodded.

"Is that so?" Ezekiel looked surprised. He never thought Clovis had thought that far ahead.

If the opponents didn't use the trick in order to stop Christina from joining the battle, he would, of course, choose Christina. However, even if the opponent stopped her, he had Aileen as his trump card.

Ezekiel crossed his arms. "Do you have confidence in winning?"

"I'm not sure. If it's going to be a draw… I have a 90% chance of turning the battle into a draw, assuming I will lose.

"Meanwhile, I personally have… 50-50… No, 40-60 chance of me beating him in his favor."

"!!!" Ezekiel looked surprised. Even though he asked whether Clovis had confidence to win or not before coming here, he didn't have high hopes. In the end, the gap between them was that big. After all, Clovis had been using his unique ability in order to bypass the gap between tiers.

However, with the opponent also having a unique ability, he didn't really have the chance to win. It was the same as him fighting his granddaughter.

It was just… He didn't expect that Clovis had a 40% chance to win. He thought it would be 5% or 10% with his current strength.

"I know you have become Tier 4, but are you sure about this?" Ezekiel frowned.

Clovis smiled. "In that case, how about a bet, Sir Ezekiel?"

"A bet?"

"Yes. If I win… I want you to help me just once… no matter what I plan to do." Nathan raised one finger.

"Heh?" Ezekiel squinted his eyes, thinking, 'It's not really that bad of a bet. Besides, he is clever to realize his opponent's intention right away and solve it. Besides, his team is much more abnormal compared to that lecherous brat, Tesron. And this is the first time my granddaughter is willingly following and supporting someone. Last but not least, he is the Hacfield.'

Ezekiel grinned. "Fine by me. If you lose, you're going to call me grandfather from that point on."

"Grandfather?!" Christina dropped her jaw to the ground.

Ezekiel shrugged. "What? It's not like you hate him either, right? Much better than Tesron."

"That's…" Christina scratched the back of her head.

"I will have to rephrase my words then." Clovis smiled. "My chance of winning has become 60%. It doesn't seem like I will lose this bet."
