While they were fighting, they didn’t realize that Kanaria was observing them, especially Ran.
’What? How is he able to throw that grenade? Is he using prediction and speculation? But the placement of that grenade is so perfect…’ Kanaria gasped, not understanding what had happened.
However, she couldn’t help but remember what her mother once said.
"Your mother can see or you could say simulate everything around me in my brain. In fact, I can see all our servants in this mansion right now thanks to my senses."
"Is that true? Then, is there a maid in that room?" Kanaria just chose a random room.
"There is one." Vania nodded, confirming it.
Not believing her mother, she couldn’t help but open the door quietly and take a peek at the room, finding a butler inside.
Kanaria opened her mouth in surprise. "You are right. There is a person inside… How do you know? No, wait. You are wrong. It’s not a maid, but a butler!"
Vania gave her a wry smile. "Even though I can see them, it doesn’t mean I know all the details, like the contour of their bodies. But I definitely know they are there. If I had that kind of ability, I would have gone to someone’s house and… never mind. What the hell am I teaching you?"
"Don’t tell me, you’re going to that person you always talk about?" Kanaria looked impressed by her dedication.
"Well, this is the power of a high level explorer. I don’t know what power you have, but it’s said that someone with my power can actually sense everything within a one kilometer radius."
"Wow…"
Kanaria was impressed at that time, but when she saw how accurately Ran threw his grenade, she realized that he was able to see those terrorists.
It was clear that, by sharpening her senses even further, she would be able to do something like this. And Jacksie could easily be singled out among those people, so it wasn’t that hard to actually find which one was him.
’According to Clovis’s father, the Star Method will allow me to access that power much faster… I see, so that’s how it is. My perception is much higher as a Tier 1 human, so if I keep training in that method, I should be able to do the same. It might not be that far, but I should be able to sense everything within 10 meters around me.’
Kanaria thought all of this in her mind since she knew that Ran might be able to hear her. In fact, if Ran were the bad guy, she would have been located by him.
While observing the fight, Vina seemed to spot her.
"Kanaria?" Vina looked surprised that Kanaria was still inside the mall.
"!!!" Kanaria raised her eyebrows. Although they were opponents in the past, Vina was pretty much neutral. So, she couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you here?"
Vina decided to briefly explain the situation to her.
"So… we are supposed to fight them?" Kanaria’s expression turned dark. "I don’t think we have the ability to do it."
"No. We are just buying some time until the reinforcement from the government arrives. They are for some reason gathering the hostages, so we are going to cooperate with the people from the government to rescue them."
Kanaria looked down, contemplating.
"There are also people that need rescue." Kanaria frowned. "Let me ask Clovis first."
Vina agreed.
"Clovis. We have a situation here." Kanaria briefly explained the situation.
Clovis didn’t expect that they were engaging the enemies. Clovis thought for a moment before asking, "Melody. How about the search and rescue operation?"
"We have received word that all the firefighters in the area have been dispatched. They are also forming a volunteer group right now."
"How about the hostage rescue?"
"Four Tier 3 humans and two Tier 4 humans are the rescue group due to the fact that the enemy has Tier 4 humans as well."
It looked like they would have no problem rescuing the hostage, but if they helped rescue the hostage, those people could immediately help defeat the Tier 4 terrorist.
"Can Vina use guns?" Clovis asked.
Kanaria looked at Vina, who later shook her head and said, "I can’t. If I have to fight, the only thing I can do is hold the shield and become the bait. There are plenty of shields in this place that can block their bullets."
"Got it." Clovis thought for a moment. "In that case, you two can grab the weapons to engage with the terrorists and stand by near the hostages. Once the rescue squad is about to arrive, we will go to your position and get ready."
"So, we’ll cooperate with their squad?"

"Yes. For now, observe them as much as possible. But don’t get too close."
"Got it." Kanaria nodded with a serious expression. Their course of action had been decided.
Although rescuing the people was their priority, dealing with these terrorists would save more people.
Kanaria and Vina immediately worked together. Vina finally realized why Kanaria’s group was able to defeat theirs. Clovis made a much more rational decision than Ivan. If this were Ivan, his priority would be to engage the enemies without waiting for the rescue squad to arrive.
Clovis knew that terrorists were much more dangerous than beasts because of guns. This was pretty much true for low level explorers like them. Once they reached the level of Ran or the terrorist captain, bullets were pretty much useless unless there were special type guns.
And Vina had no reason to object to Clovis’s decision.
Meanwhile, Clovis turned to Melody while saying, "We are going to rescue as many people here as possible. Once we get the word, we will immediately head back to help with the hostages."
"Got it. I have told them about it, and I can act as the operator on site."
"Good. For now, we have to focus on this job." Clovis nodded with a serious face. They had rescued the mother and daughter pair along with two more people, so Clovis wanted to get at least ten more people before leaving.
