All of them were just staring at her as though there was nothing they could believe coming from her mouth.
"Okay, Okay. Don’t give me that look." Hana scratched the back of her head.
Even though her character was rather questionable, it seemed that her talent was a real deal. She managed to do both business and exploration simultaneously.
Even Clovis didn’t expect that she was a Tier 4 human when she was only two years older than them.
Hana knew Clovis was curious about the reasons, so she decided to reveal them before he got annoyed.
"The reason I changed my decision was because of your performance. From what I could see, you are much stronger than what your tier represents. With your performance, you shouldn’t have any problem defeating Tier 2, and you can probably fight against Tier 3 toe-to-toe. It’s just that I’m not sure whether you’re able to defeat them or not."
Melody frowned since Clovis and Jay had defeated Tier 3 beasts. However, Clovis hurriedly waved his hand as if knowing what she wanted to say. Clovis actually agreed with her words.
If this was a normal Tier 3 beast, he would say that he had the ability to defeat it. However, if their levels were the same as the beasts in this place, it would be impossible to kill the Tier 3 beasts.
Since she had only seen their performance here, her opinion was valid.
"I’m complimenting you right now. Even I don’t have the ability to kill a beast one tier above me." Hana shook her head. "Of course, we’re talking about the real beasts, not those weaklings."
"Those weaklings?" Clovis frowned.
"You should have sensed the difference in strength between the beasts near your base and the ones in this place, right?"
Clovis didn’t say anything, but the answer was pretty obvious.
"Do you know the difference between the beasts in this place and the ones near the base?" Hana smirked.
They didn’t think they had heard this kind of information before, so they were curious about the answer.
"Well, the exact reason is still unknown."
"…" Clovis’s eyebrows twitched while the others looked annoyed.
Hana hurriedly added, "We still don’t know the exact reason, but there is some speculation. Why do you think those areas collapsed and became a tunnel that connected the surface and the subterranean world?"
"Is that the reason?" Clovis looked down, falling into deep thought.
"Yes. Some scientists speculate that the phenomenon creates a field that weakens the beasts’ abilities. So, the further they are from the city, the stronger the beasts are. Of course, there are some exceptions. This former volcano might affect that field, which would result in the beasts not being suppressed by that field anymore.
You could say that this place is a place with the closest level of the beasts’ real strength."
Clovis pinched the bridge of his nose. He suddenly remembered the ruin and thought about the possibilities for it to be created. What if that person created the ruins because the beasts here were much stronger?
Hana raised a finger. "By the way, isn’t it unfair for me to be the only one talking? Can’t you answer my question as well?"
"Are you demanding it as a Tier 4 human or as a suspicious person who stalks us?"
"Stalking? What an accusation…" Hana looked like she was wronged. "Then, how about you answer my question after I answer two of your questions?"
Clovis thought for a moment before nodding his head. "Alright."
He might be able to learn more about this world from her. She only asked him a few things. While he had a few things he wanted to keep secret, he could simply lie to her.
"Then, should I ask a question now?"
"Wait. You haven’t finished the previous topic."
"I think I have. Basically, the countryside is only focused on the beasts near their base, so it doesn’t really matter. But if you go to major cities… at least Tier 7 and Tier 8 cities, you will realize that they calculate your strength based on the beast’s true strength.
This city might be considered a Tier 6 city, but it is nowhere near the real Tier 6 city because of the lack of education and facilities. If we’re talking about the real Tier 6 city… it should be Starlight City."
"!!!" Clovis raised his eyebrows. The Starlight City was the city he resided in, but that city had been destroyed by the beasts and he had to escape to the current city.
However, he could see the difference in quality between the two cities but simply pushed the matter aside since he was in no position to care about it.
"If you want to go to a major city, I don’t mind bringing you there." Hana smirked.
"What is your purpose in approaching me? No. Before that, how did you find me?" Clovis asked.
Hana grabbed her drone and projected a video in the air so that all of them could watch it together. It was news about the sudden appearance of a sinkhole.
Hana pointed at the screen and said, "Your grandfather did that. The reason I know it is because that place is a branch of the Red Dagger Assassination Guild. You should be stalked by some people, right? They are related to them.
"Since your grandfather had hidden himself the whole time, this action caused a lot of uproar. I investigated it and tried to find the reason which led me to your accident. That is how I got here."
"You should know that your actions will also lead others to me, right?" Clovis’s expression turned cold.
"Definitely. That’s why my grandfather forbade me to come here. However, you may call it a reckless decision or whatever, but I believe meeting you is more important." Hana explained.
Clovis fell silent. If she was known to be that talented, she should have at least some common sense. It seemed that it was also a hard decision on her part. Whatever her purpose here, it should be something important.
It was Hana’s turn to ask a question. "You’ve heard what I wanted to ask earlier. I want you. Will you please be mine?"
