"We're finally back. To think that it would be this hard." Kanaria let out a long sigh. While it was true that their firepower relied on her, it didn't change the fact that with Ragna as a guardian, Kanaria had the chance to kill more beasts than any others.
However, after submitting the essence, the number was actually much lower than she predicted.
"349,500 union dollars, huh? It's not small, but we should be able to get much more than that. Don't you think?" Kanaria asked.
"Sorry." Ragna lowered his head. "It was because of ssing up."
"No. We both were. I failed to give a correct instruction, especially regarding the timing."
"I'll definitely do better tomorrow!"
Kanaria fell silent for a mont before saying, "How about you are the one giving an order tomorrow?"
"? But…" Ragna wanted to find a reason to reject that idea.
However, Kanaria stopped him with a wave of her hand. "No. Just think about it. Even bodyguards or secret service have their own security leader, whose job is to do all the detailed work to secure their protectee. I'm wondering… this whole ti, you have never said anything you want from us even in a dangerous situation."
"That's because Clovis' instruction is on point and lody has given the detailed instruction."
"That's it." Kanaria pointed at him. "That's what you need to do. As the guardian of the team, you need to voice your opinion as well. Which position will make it easier for you to protect us? While it's true that you're able to fight on the front as well, there will be tis like this."
"But…" Ragna looked down.
Kanaria smiled. "Ragna. I know that you joined this group because of Clovis. However, I can say for sure that what Clovis needs is Guardian Ragna, not Robot Ragna, who can only follow orders.
"It's fine to argue, it's good to give your opinion, especially if it's for the sake of the team's safety."
Ragna looked down as if recalling his past.
Since he was beaten a lot, he knew that saying sothing would make those people get angry. It might be due to it that he was more quiet than the others.
However, this group was different. He wouldn't be beaten if he voiced his concern. It was fine to argue with each other, but there should be no hard feeling between them. After all, their goal remained the sa.
Ragna took a deep breath. "I understand. I'll try to voice my thoughts."
"Good." Kanaria nodded, satisfied. She then took out her phone to post the result, only to be surprised that the other two groups had posted their result for the day.
"This is… We're last." Kanaria smiled wryly.
Ragna also checked the result.
To their surprise, Erwin and Jay were almost double their number with 784,000 union dollars.
"Jay and Erwin are this crazy?" Kanaria sucked a cold breath. "Weren't they supposed to be fighting each other all the ti?"
"Even then, they are nothing compared to Clovis and lody." Ragna's expression turned solemn.
When she raised her vision, she couldn't help but suck a cold breath. "1,149,000 union dollars? How many beasts have they killed?"
"As expected of Clovis and lody. Jay and Erwin should be the most powerful, but Clovis and lody are the most versatile pair." Ragna felt this defeat was justified.
"What do you an? We are the most balanced pair." Kanaria shook her head. "However, I don't think we can expect a sudden transformation. We can only take one step at a ti, increasing the money."
"Yeah. That's the only way."
Kanaria and Ragna weren't the only ones who saw the result posted by Clovis. Jay and Erwin were also curious about their placent. However, they actually noticed sothing else.
"They managed to get all this before lunch? What?" Erwin dropped his jaw.
"How are they able to achieve it? Clovis might be the strongest, but he has to work alone. I an, it's not that I underestimate lody, but I don't think lody is stronger than any of us, right?" Jay frowned.
"Yeah. But there's no way Clovis can achieve it by himself. And in such a short amount of ti."
Jay and Erwin fell silent, wondering how they were able to do it. There was one possibility that they didn't want to think of.
It was the appearance of a Tier 4 beast.
"Don't tell …" Erwin glanced at Jay.
"That's the only possibility."
Erwin took a deep breath before saying, "I win today. In other words, you're going to follow my order for tomorrow. We'll be searching for a Tier 4 beast."
"Surprisingly, I'm not against it right now." Jay harrumphed. Although he didn't want to admit it, they really needed to kill Tier 4 beasts if they wanted to win.
Clovis' result managed to light the fire in their hearts. Little did they know, Clovis' result wouldn't change for the next few days.
As for the two people who caused a stir in the group, they were driving under the moonlight.
It took them almost three hours to reach their destination. It turned out the place that Vina ntioned was a massive valley.
The valley was pinched by two tall cliffs. They were so tall and steep that it would be impossible to cross them without climbing equipnt.
In the middle of the valley was a small river, andering to the horizon. There were multiple ruins in sight, which was the sign of the previous civilization.
Those buildings seed to be surrounding a tall tree. The tree was more than forty ters tall, and its head was quite wide, with vines hanging on its branches.
Although it was a bit hard to see, there was a dark silhouette between the branches. Looking at that enclosed space, both Clovis and lody had the sa thought.
The space was much smaller than they originally thought, which ant a hit and run technique would be extrely hard to execute.
"It seems that we have to be extra careful." Clovis' expression turned grim.
"I'll scout in the morning. It's probably better to close in through the cliffs."
