The news about the principal asking Clovis to be his student spread to the entire school almost instantly.
Clovis played it cool, but this was the first time that he sensed another type of gaze. Back in Lindel City, Clovis was the target of admiration of the younger generations.
However, in this place, he was like a prey of those lustful gazes who thought that sleeping with him would guarantee their success.
"Is it him? Is he the one getting the principal’s acknowledgement?"
"I have asked the teacher, but it seems that his strength is equal to a Tier 4 human."
"What? Is that even possible? He is skipping not only one but two tiers?"
"It’s no wonder why the principal is so adamant in taking him as his disciple."
"But isn’t that just a rumor?"
"No way. I was there when the principal came!"
The students were staring at Clovis even though he was just walking across the corridor, minding his own business. Of course, Kanaria was standing next to Clovis to assert her dominance.
"I’m afraid that you will have a hard time this time. There will definitely be people challenging you," said Clovis while finding several people who had fire in their eyes. He doubted they would challenge him, so the only person that might be the easiest to challenge was Kanaria.
"I’m not as strong as you, but I’m not weak either. If they want to come, let them come." Kanaria shrugged.
"Well, the same can be said to Jay, Melody, Ragna, and Erwin. There are surely people who would like to test their ability after hearing about mine. If I’m not wrong, they might even try to recruit them as a student, as a club member, or as an affiliate." Clovis sighed. "This is why I don’t want to go to school. Fighting the beasts is much easier."
"Haha. It’s funny that you’re worrying about the wrong thing. What you should worry about is the annual event. Now that the people’s expectations are high, they will pay more attention to us."
"That’s true. I guess the biggest winner here is Hana."
"At least, if the products are successful, we will get a lot of money."
"True." Clovis nodded. He would definitely get at least tens of millions. He might get even more after some time. It would definitely speed up his progress in discovering everything that Another World Mall had to offer.
"It’s sad that Reolf can’t be with us." Kanaria sighed.
"Are you insane? If Reolf is with us, not only the whole country, but the whole world will be watching us right now. At the current stage, I’m not strong enough to handle all that problem. Maybe once we reach Tier 4 or Tier 5. That should be enough. Even if my father will only meet me after I reach Tier 5, with Reolf’s existence, I can bait him out." Clovis shrugged.
"True. Then again, we don’t need that long to reach Tier 3, right?"
"Yep! Once we restart our journey, we will be able to reach Tier 3 in a few weeks." Clovis nodded. Of course, he had been eating items from Another World Mall. In fact, he was the closest one to reach Tier 3.
However, Clovis planned to wait for them to reach Tier 3 before he did the same just to avoid suspicion of Another World Mall.
…
As Clovis said, the people were watching their group closely. Erwin and Ragna could already feel people wanting to challenge them, while Melody remained peaceful since she was an operator.
Still, the one who had the biggest laugh was none other than Hana.
"Hahaha! To think that they are causing this much trouble in just a single day! Clovis is built differently." Hana grinned, looking at the academy news. "Look at that old man. He mentioned rules or whatever shit, but he ended up being greedy in taking him as a disciple.
"What’s this? Beating the person who teaches him? Is there any other person beside Michael Hacfield? Or maybe it’s his father, Gerald Hacfield?
"Nevertheless, both of them are not an opponent that he can beat. In fact, knowing his identity alone is already enough to scare him."
Hana shook her head helplessly. "I guess it’s better to use their popularity to boost the promotion even further."
…
Axionia.
"So, this is the place where they store the information." Michael smirked, looking at the city where Clovis was experimented on.
Before entering the city, he glanced to the side.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
"Aaaahhh!" A soldier suddenly dropped the binoculars as he fell on his butt, sweating all over his body. "No way. Did he sense me?"
An old man wearing a military uniform sighed. "That’s Tier 9 for you… Unfortunately, it is sad that we can’t retain such power in our country."
The two were staring from a distance just to observe him, making sure that he didn’t do anything else other than what he was coming for.
After warning them, Michael raised his head, looking at the fifteen-meter-tall wall.
"I guess I should start. It’s not like I can be here for too long!" Michael took a deep breath before taking a step forward. He raised his other foot as if he were a pitcher about to throw the ball.
Instead of a ball, he threw his fist forward.
It looked like a normal fist for a split second, but right after that, the air started getting sucked forward and flew toward the wall in the form of a shock wave.
The shock wave blasted the entire wall, the rubble was flying into the city instead of falling down.
The soldier dropped his jaw, observing everything from a distance. "He just destroyed the wall, creating a hundred-meter-wide gap!"
"You shouldn’t be surprised just by this." The old man shook his head.
As he said, Michael moved to the center of the city. He bent his knees as he placed both fists on the ground.
"This should be enough." Michael took another deep breath before releasing all his force into that fist. "Doom Fist."
A crack stretching for more than a kilometer in all directions was formed right away before the entire force turned it into a crater, causing all the windows to shatter and the buildings to collapse.
There was nothing but rubble within that huge crater, as if a meteor had just hit the center of the city, leaving the soldier speechless. This was the strength of Michael Hacfield. At the same time, he couldn’t imagine the other nine monsters that were his equal.
