’Do I actually understand the Star method correctly?’ Clovis’s expression turned grim.
’This is the technique my parents created. If I trust my grandfather’s words about them being born for me, that means my parents created this method for me, specifically for those special circumstances of mine.
’Now that I think about it, I do feel much stronger whenever that mysterious strength appears. While I still don’t know the details, it’s clear that this strength is actually something I have.
’If this is what my grandfather means about the stars… then the chronology will be like this…’
Clovis imagined himself born with these special circumstances. His parents and grandfather knew about it. His parents finally created this technique for him and hid it in that house. The one who predicted the place and the time would definitely be his grandfather.
’If that’s the case, then does that mean I’m able to actually harness the power of five evolutionary traits? But if I’m too greedy, won’t I have a rough time in the future? All the experts always say that it’s better to master one thing than becoming a jack of all trade.
’But my parents created this technique for me. Back then, they made me choose whether to go alone or with my friends into that room. Even if I got there alone, they would definitely still give me the Star Method.
’No. Because I entered with Kanaria and Jay, they couldn’t really say it directly. What if sharing was just meant to conceal these special circumstances of mine?
’Considering it came from my parents, it wouldn’t be weird if I learned the other traits as well. After all, I had to ’teach’ the technique to my friends.’
Clovis’s body shook, finally understanding the bigger picture. It turned out everything had been planned carefully.
’Then, should I try learning others as well? No, I need to understand why my grandfather refers to them as stars instead of tips of the star first.’
Clovis looked at the star on the ground while muttering inwardly, ’Each trait can allow you to become the strongest in the world. I mean, my grandfather has Muscle Affinity. From the videos of other Tier 9 humans in this world, they should have a different affinity from my grandfather.
’Is that the reason why my grandfather thinks each of them is equally important? And when I’m in that mysterious state, I already become stronger, especially my raw strength. Does that imply that my muscle trait has undergone a change during that time?
’I don’t want to be too complacent, but because my grandfather tells me to learn all the stars… is he telling me that I have special circumstances that can allow me to learn all five traits?’
Clovis shuddered. It was only his speculation, but if it was true, then he finally understood why his parents and grandfather were gone. ’The reason I’ve got to be separated from my parents and grandfather is actually myself. They’re leaving me so that they can distract the enemies’ attentions from me.
’No. I can’t be too complacent. Even if I have this special circumstances, I will do what I have been doing this whole time. I’ll take one step at a time without being too greedy. My decision doesn’t involve only my life…

’Still, if I’m the reason for our separation, then I’ll get stronger and become the reason for our reunion as well. With these special circumstances, I’ll surpass my grandfather and become the greatest explorer of all time. I’ll find out the truth about the simulation.’
Clovis found a new resolution, feeling a bit more excited. His goal might not be just a pipe dream.
At the same time, there was one question that remained.
’Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem that my grandfather knows anything about me having Another World Mall. If that’s the case, I can shift their attention from Another World Mall to these special circumstances.
’And with this Another World Mall, I’ll also create the strongest group in the world. If this world is indeed only a simulation, I shall become a variable so big that it turns into a ’bug’ in that simulation… something that can’t be fixed. And that the one who creates this simulation world has no other choice but to meet me.’
Still, he realized that this Another World Mall was actually much more mysterious than he originally thought. Discovering the truth of Another World Mall might also become the second goal he would like to achieve next.
A smile appeared on Clovis’s face. In the past, his goal as the greatest explorer of all time might just have been a superficial one without concrete vision.
But with this new thought, he could finally visualize the path and the goal. It wasn’t just a dream anymore. It was a goal.
Clovis clenched his hands into fists. When he raised his head, he said, "Thank you, Melody."
"Mhmm?" Melody didn’t understand why Clovis thanked him since she was assuming that Clovis was wondering whether to teach Ragna the Star Method or not.
Clovis chuckled, brushing off that confusion. Instead, he asked, "If it’s not too much for both of you, would you be so kind as to tell me about your experience with your affinity?"
Clovis opened a note on his Skyphone, making sure he didn’t leave any important information behind.
Of course, he would ask Jay about the muscle trait later.
Considering the most noticeable thing whenever he entered that special state was the increase in his raw strength, Clovis planned to learn the Blood and Muscle traits first. Only after he got a good grasp or mastery of those two would he begin to learn another trait.
They had no objection since they received the Star Method from Clovis. Hence, Melody and Kanaria began recounting all their experiences. Melody retired first, while Kanaria helped him check the content of his note so that there wasn’t any misunderstanding.
But because they were too focused on it, they ended up being too tired that night and just fell asleep after entering the tent, causing a bit of ruckus in their sleep.
