Chapter 663: Winner
"Congratulations." Kanaria and the others cheered when Clovis returned to the room.
Clovis could only smile wryly, saying, "Sorry. I couldn't bring back a victory."
"What are you talking about? He has a unique ability and is practically invincible to people of the same tier. Being able to force him to take a draw is already amazing." Christina smirked. "Even if I fight there, I don't think I can win against him."
"Even though it's a draw, it feels like he has lost. After all, you are one tier lower and our team has crushed him." Jay nodded.
"Hehehehe. It's time for me to show off." Erwin grinned.
"It's a bit disappointing that you are not able to win, but this is better, considering the political point of view." Ezekiel came from behind, patting Clovis' head. "Had you won against him, people would recognize you to be stronger than Tesron, which would make them focus on you.
"There's a high chance they will find out about your identity and try to get you for themselves. That's still manageable, but a lot more people will probably try to kill you.
"After all, you are already beyond Tesron when you're one tier lower. In other words, if you reach Tier 9 in the future, there's a chance that you will have the ability to easily suppress another Tier 9.
"However, with this result, people will think that you are still within their expectations. They might consider Tesron to be a bit careless and underestimate you. It only puts you in the same place as Tesron and Christina.
"Even then, all eyes are practically on you. Fortunately, you don't bring that wolf of yours. If you add him into the mix, the situation will completely change." Ezekiel smirked.
"That's right. If Clovis had brought Reolf with him, he would have definitely won. Besides, they couldn't say anything if you introduced yourself to be a beast tamer." Kanaria nodded in agreement.
"Still, can I ask something?" Ezekiel's expression turned solemn.
"Yes?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion.
"What exactly are you? I mean, do you realize that your unique ability is the same as Mara Leverstrike's?"
"!!!" Clovis looked surprised at first, but he recalled the system panel that appeared in the middle of the match. That was the source of his distraction at the beginning of the match.
"It seems you're aware of it…" Ezekiel squinted his eyes.
"To a certain extent, but even if you ask me, I can't really answer it. Not that I want to keep it a secret, but because I don't understand it either." Clovis shook his head helplessly.
"…" Ezekiel closed his eyes before sighing, "Fortunately, there's only one person who can recognize that unique ability here, which is me. If that Carrick hadn't left, the situation would have been more serious.
"We were talking about two unique abilities, which were supposed to be unique in this world. They might even think of a potential to share a unique ability because of you." Ezekiel sighed. "You should be careful when revealing that unique ability from now on."
"Yes. I will take it to heart." Clovis nodded.
"All right. That's good enough for me. If you need anything else, just call me. I will remain here for a bit, but I think you should enjoy the celebration and prepare for other things."
"Fair enough." Clovis glanced to the side as someone opened the door.
"Hello, everyone!" The one who entered the room was none other than Radric, the one helping them to host the match. "Congratulations on your victory. How about coming to the arena to celebrate your victory? I'm sure that everyone would like to see all of you."
Christina pushed Nathan from behind with a smile, telling him to accept the victory.
Clovis smiled wryly. He wanted everyone to celebrate, but Christina, Melody, and Lucifania didn't participate, so he couldn't bring them to the arena. Still, just the fact they had these two alone was enough to make people think that the Libation Fiesta could achieve bigger things if these two were allowed to participate.
That was why it was fine for Christina, Melody, and Luci to stay here just for this celebration. They would make a bigger impact in the future.
Clovis nodded to her and walked outside. "Let's go then."
Erwin was definitely the first one going, as he was the most eager to flex. Aileen embarrassedly followed him.
Jay and Ragna soon followed, while Kanaria accompanied Clovis.
When Clovis was about to exit, Radric whispered, "The president would like to meet you tomorrow. I hope that you can free up your time tomorrow."
"…" Clovis only glanced back at him without giving any reply. As Ezekiel predicted, Clovis had truly become an indispensable asset to the country.
The talk was probably the president doing his best to retain him. If he offered an underground management right, Clovis didn't really have any reasons to reject it, considering this would allow Kanaria to fulfill her dream.
In the arena, Utaha excitedly got the signal about the team and shifted the topic to the celebration. "After a long battle that lasted for 1 hour and 21 minutes, the battle between two teams has finally been concluded.
"Now, let us welcome the winner of today's match, Team Libation Fiesta!"
Once they got called, the cheers erupted as Clovis and the others entered the arena again.
Obviously, the principal had gone directly to the stage to show his appreciation. Meanwhile, Team Melesviet was running as far as they could with their heads hanging low. The longer they stayed here, the more embarrassment they would receive.
Tesron was furious and embarrassed at the same time. He never expected that his team would lose like this. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder where his grandfather was.
He was supposed to accompany him the whole time, but he ended up running away before the battle ended. He involuntarily created a misunderstanding that he was able to see his team's defeat beforehand and escaped.
However, Tesron was afraid of what he would do the moment he knew about the result.
Nevertheless, with this victory, the world would know the abnormal team called the Libation Fiesta.
What do you think?
