"Ha… Ha… What are you…" Christina panted heavily while restraining Clovis on the ground. She pinned his head on the ground while her other hand stopped his hands from moving.
Now that they were in this position, Christina could finally recall whatever had just happened earlier.
Even Hana and Kanaria couldn't help but furrow their eyebrows. "What is going on?"
They noticed the change in Clovis but, at the sa ti, couldn't believe Clovis was capable of doing such a thing.
As if realizing he was unable to do anything, he cald down. The bloodlust in his eyes gradually disappeared. "Ah. What happened?"
Christina was confused. 'Did he not rember what he had just done?'
"Well, how about we end it here?" Jeremy's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"!!!" They turned to Jeremy. Hana frowned. The timing was so perfect that she couldn't help but question whether he was waiting for them or not. "Grandfather…"
Jeremy smiled. "Hana, Kanaria. Can you guys go back first? I need to talk to these two."
Hana and Kanaria didn't like this fact, but it seed they had no other choice but to comply.
They both nodded to each other before taking their leave.
After that, Jeremy turned to the two. "I want to talk to both of you, but don't you think that position is rather inappropriate?"
To restrain him, Christina had to sit on Clovis' back, so it really wasn't appropriate for a serious discussion.
Christina released him and stood up. "My apologies. I was too shocked earlier that I had no choice."
Clovis didn't understand what was going on, so he just stood up with a confused expression, expecting anyone to explain it to him.
"Clovis. What's the last thing you rember?" Jeremy asked.
"I was fighting against her and I felt my ability could increase further, so I sank deeper…"
"Huh?" Christina frowned. She had never heard sothing like this. "Sank deeper? Ability? Do you an a unique ability?"
Clovis thought for a mont before deciding to answer honestly. "Yes."
"How can that be? Sank deeper? Don't tell . Your unique ability hasn't been awakened completely?"
"Awakened completely?"
"Yes. Normally, people will awaken their unique ability at a certain age. You can utilize it to its full potential, but I have never heard of soone who needs ti for its ability to fully awaken. I can't really describe it." Christina clicked her tongue. She didn't understand much herself, so she could only click her tongue.
Jeremy raised two fingers. "That's the thing. First of all, I will be telling you the two pieces of information your grandfather wants to convey. You awakened that unique ability the mont you were born."
"What?!" Christina widened her eyes in shock. "How can this be? Awakened the mont you were born? That's impossible. The baby wasn't strong enough to handle such a thing."
Jeremy nodded in agreent but continued nonetheless. "And the second will be… you."
"?" Christina pointed at herself.
"Yes. How about joining his group?"
"Huh?" Christina frowned. "I have the Elseigarde family."
"I know, but your grandfather has given permission about it. As long as you agree, you are allowed to do everything you want."
"No way. I'm not going to leave the Elseigarde family."
He smiled. "Of course, if that's your choice. However, I'm just going to tell you one thing. Joining his group will certainly be beneficial for your family. And that's all. Just consider it. Obviously, the captain will be the one to decide it, so don't feel too pressured about it."
Clovis crossed his arms.
When he thought about it, Luci was a suggestion from Hana. If he also took Christina, it felt like there were a lot of people involved in the creation of his dream team.
It felt like the group wasn't his anymore.
Still, Christina's strength was precious. With her unique ability, she shouldn't have any trouble joining Clovis' group. As a future Tier 9, she should have enough ambition.
However, Clovis noticed that the reason they wanted her to join must be related to him, specifically his unique ability.
Clovis crossed his arms, falling into deep thought.
"Well, this is not sothing that can be decided easily." Clovis turned to Christina.
"I agree." Christina nodded her head. "There's still the joint training."
"Indeed."
Jeremy smiled. "Is that so? In the end, your grandfather has just given you a suggestion. He by no ans has any intention of dictating what you need to do. Anyway, I have passed the ssage. It's up to you what you're going to do with it."
Jeremy waved his hand and disappeared.
Clovis and Christina looked at each other.
'That strength of his… It's certainly extraordinary. If he can truly utilize it to its true potential, he might surpass . I don't know what kind of ability it is, but it's clearly much stronger than what the world has seen so far.
'After all, according to my grandfather, the sooner the unique ability is awakened, the higher its potential.
'The fact that he awakened it when he was born ant he held the current record. But it might be due to the nature of its power, but it brings a certain side effect, which is that bloodlust state.
'If they want to join his group, it ans my existence is sowhat useful for that side effect.'
Christina fell into deep thought.
anwhile, Clovis had another way of thinking. 'A side effect, huh? Mara should have sothing similar. Do I need to train with Christina or is anybody fine?
'And if Christina can help , being in my group is not necessary, right? I can offer a trade or owe her a favor. If it's in the future, I can probably give her sothing like the collar for a beast pet or items from Another World Mall. No, should I just give her a painting that will be suitable for a guardian?
'This is a much better solution.'
Clovis and Christina looked at each other, not realizing Jeremy was still observing them from a distance. He chuckled, 'Two youths overthinking such a simple thing.'
