"Congratulations. You’ve completed the super injections." The manager’s voice echoed in Kanaria’s ears as the capsule was opened from the outside.
Kanaria looked left and right, feeling a bit weird because of the absorption earlier. Her memory was a bit fuzzy, but she soon found Jay in the corner of the room, waiting for them.
"Hmm?" Kanaria opened her data.
Name: Kanaria Renvolt
Tier: 0
Evolution Rate: 92%
Brain: 96.1%
Heart: 100%
Blood: 100%
Muscle: 92.09%
Bones: 98.05%
Kanaria nodded her head, confirming that the super injection was done. She only needed to inject a bit more essence to fill up the remaining progress before evolving into Tier 1 Explorer.
"Thank you."
"Please." The manager extended his hand before helping her up. Kanaria was guided by another staff to the changing room so that she could take a shower before changing back into her original clothes.
After she was done, she came to Jay so that they could wait together.
"Jay. How is Clovis?" Kanaria asked.
"There is nothing wrong for the time being. In fact, it’s progressing so well that I’m about to doze off right now." Jay assured Kanaria.
"Is that so?" Kanaria felt relieved. At the same time, she remembered that Clovis’s evolution rate required him to take at least six times longer than them.
"Should I go first? Maybe bring us something to eat?" Jay asked.
Kanaria thought for a moment. On the one hand, they had promised to leave together. On the other hand, it would still take a few more hours for Clovis, so Kanaria nodded her head.
"Sure." Kanaria actually agreed with the arrangement.
But to their surprise, the manager actually stopped them.
"Ah. You don’t have to worry about that. It seems that your friend won’t take too long." The manager approached them while asking, "Do you know who your friend is?"
"Is there something wrong?" Kanaria asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
"It’s nothing much. His fusion rate is higher than yours, so I think he is extraordinary as well. If only he had a high evolution rate, I believe that he could become a one-of-a-kind talent." The manager explained, trying to probe for more information about Clovis.
"I see. We’re not sure either. We joined his group not too long ago, so we were not at the stage where we could talk about personal topics like that." Kanaria shook her head helplessly, lying about it.
Clovis didn’t want his personal information to be known. So, she just acted like she didn’t know anything.
Even though Jay didn’t care much about his identity, he was still an heir of a big family. So he instantly understood why Kanaria acted this way and nodded to confirm Kanaria’s words.
Seeing their reaction, the manager could only let out a long sigh, saying, "I understand. From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be someone who has just entered this city. I thought that you two would have known him for a bit longer."
"What do you mean?" Kanaria tilted her head in confusion.
"You don’t know about his evolution attributes?" The manager raised his eyebrows. With Clovis’s evolution rate, Clovis should have been hunting for at least two months, no, three months.
Kanaria shook her head helplessly. How could she know? She had never heard anything about this.
The last time Kanaria saw Clovis’s attributes, they were still normal.
Seeing it was useless to ask for more information, he decided to shake his head, saying, "Well, that’s fine. Either way, your friend is going to be done in about one hour and a few minutes. If you want to wait, then please wait. If you end up leaving, I’m afraid you guys have to wait outside."
Jay and Kanaria exchanged looks. It seemed that they had no choice. "Alright. We’ll wait."
As the manager said, Clovis’s capsule released a beeping sound, indicating that he was done.
The manager rushed to Clovis. "Congratulations. You have completed the super injections."
Clovis acted similar to Kanaria, feeling a bit clueless. It might be because of what he did earlier that before he could say something, his stomach was the one answering the manager.
*Growl!*
"!!!" The manager widened his eyes in shock. He thought, ’During the super injection, the liquid should slow down his body’s metabolism. I haven’t heard anything about them being hungry after completing the super injections. There are a few explanations for his hunger…’
The manager couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, realizing that the reason Clovis had a high fusion rate was because he had been fighting those beasts. In other words, Clovis could actually move inside that place.
’How in the world?’ The manager thought for a moment before asking, "You are quite good, young man. This is the first time I heard someone was hungry after this session. Maybe you have worked a lot during the process, like fighting those beasts?"
Clovis nonchalantly said, "It’s tiring."
"I see. If you’d like to rest, we have a break room." The manager smiled, trying to lure him so that he could get more data.
However, Clovis noticed Kanaria and Jay behind him. Kanaria was gesturing that they should eat outside, while in reality, Kanaria was simply trying to drag Clovis out so that he didn’t give more information than necessary. It might even be linked to his identity as the grandson of Michael Hacfield.
Clovis hurriedly shook his head. "No. I’m good. I have promised my friends that we will be celebrating in a restaurant after this, so…"
Clovis didn’t continue, but that was enough for the manager. He let out a long sigh before saying, "Alright. Please take a shower to rinse off the liquid from your body."
"Thank you." Clovis smiled politely before standing up.
It didn’t take too long for Clovis to change back and the group immediately left the room.
The manager might personally see them off, but he immediately called out someone once they were gone.
"Manager of Rizben Underground City Branch, Lornd. I have encountered an interesting case that I’d like to report to the main branch. Am I speaking to Mr. Frey?"
"Indeed. An interesting case? I will see the report later. There is no need for you to use the special line to inform me. I’m currently in a meeting."
"No, Sir. I think you need to hear this first. It appears that there is someone with a fusion rate four times higher than normal."

"…" The other end seemed to be silent for a moment before asking for confirmation. "Are you sure? The exact rate aside, who is that person? Is he Tier 3 or Tier 4?"
"No, sir. I’m talking about a new explorer. In other words, a Tier 0 explorer."
"Tier 0…" It seemed that the matter was so shocking that he couldn’t believe it.
"A talented Tier 3 or Tier 4 Explorer should be able to increase their fusion rate, but Tier 2 or below shouldn’t have awakened the power, right? Do you know who he is?"
"I’m afraid not, sir. The only thing I have is ’Clovis.’ That’s all."
"Alright. I will try to inquire about that name later. Make sure you keep a close eye on him. Also, I’m sure that he has sold his essence to the bank, so track his record. If he shows an abnormal exchange rate, inform me again."
"Yes, Sir."
The manager hung up, but the intention was already clear. Clovis didn’t know yet that his name had been registered as a special individual at Essence Bank.
On the other hand, Clovis, Jay, and Kanaria happily entered a restaurant to celebrate their victory, not realizing the damage they had done.
While waiting for their food, Clovis couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, do you want to come to my house? I am thinking about going back to the surface soon."
"Are you talking about the facility that my mother told us about?" Kanaria asked.
"Yeah. I’m a bit curious about it." Clovis didn’t deny it. "Well, we’re planning to join a raid in one month, right? I’m wondering if we should go up right now and roam on the surface to familiarize ourselves with the battle on the surface. Unlike the underground world, there are a lot of buildings humans made on the surface."
Kanaria and Jay exchanged looks. It didn’t seem to be a bad idea, considering the battle would be a bit different from what they had experienced so far.
"I don’t see a problem." Jay shook his head. "It’s been almost two months since I left home. Since your mother saw me here, I believe she talked it out with my parents. Though, I might have to stay in your house, Clovis. I don’t want to get reprimanded by my parents."
"If you don’t mind my humble home, then sure."
"That’s settled then."
