Another World Mall

Chapter 482 Investigation

"What did you say?" The principal widened his eyes in shock.

"We are unable to find the information about Clovis, sir."

"What do you mean? He is just a normal person who happens to be talented. Are you sure you're doing your job alright? Are you slacking?"

"No, sir. We have done everything we can, but it's impossible to find information about Clovis. All the information about him has been posted online, but before turning sixteen, there is simply nothing about him. We all know that he had been forced to evacuate because his city was attacked, and he had to live in a new city for several years until he became an adult."

"Who are his parents?"

"We couldn't find it. The record has been erased."

"What? Erased? You must have meant classified. Use my name to get the classified information."

"No, sir. They have been erased."

"Huh?" The principal frowned and looked down, falling into deep thought. If it was classified, his identity should allow him to get a lot of classified information.

Yet they claimed it had been erased. This was a mystery to him.

What the principal didn't know was that the previous incident where Clovis had to escape from the Tier 8 person chasing after him caused his information to be erased.

If they couldn't get him, it was better for them to be oblivious to his identity. It didn't seem that Clovis planned to reveal that information for the time being, considering the president was only aware of his presence not long ago.

That was why erasing Clovis' information would force them to guess Clovis' identity. Without Clovis confirming it, he could always lie.

He didn't know who among the ten Tier 9 humans was behind him, but he knew one thing, they would rather sacrifice him than face the wrath of a Tier 9 human.

The principal said, "Stop investigating him."

"Huh?"

"Just stop investigating him unless you want to die. I don't want to die, so don't drag me into it." The principal's eyes turned lifeless as if he had resigned to his fate. He couldn't recruit Clovis. He never thought that Hana Skylark would be much faster in befriending Clovis.

The principal waved his hand and said, "Don't tell anyone about him. Let them do whatever they want, but report to me if they are doing something excessive. I'll stop them from behind the shadows."

"I-I understand." The guy was still confused, but he had no choice but to follow the principal's decision. "In that case, I'll take my leave."

As soon as the guy left, the principal sighed. "Can I really retain this person in the academy? The fact that he is getting tutored by a Tier 9 means he has potential. In fact, exerting a strength three tiers above him is enough for us to see that he will be at least a Tier 8 in the future.

"I don't know if he has that special quality yet... That last attack might be related, but there's a chance it's something else. But the Tier 9 must have seen that special ability...

"If the academy can get the future Tier 9, it'll be a tremendous boost for the academy as well as this country. No other academy will be able to compete with us anymore."

The principal gulped down. It seemed that he had no choice but to resort to a few things to keep Clovis in this academy.

"I might be crazy for doing this, but it's for the sake of this academy... Eh, the academy is the second. I'm first. The country is the third."

The principal's expression turned serious. "There are a few ways to make him stay without forcing him to do so."

The principal stood up as if he was ready to set up a few things to recruit Clovis. However, when he opened his door, he saw a silhouette coming into his office.

"Hana Skylark?!"
