Another World Mall

Chapter 496 Challenge

"What, what, what?" Utaha dropped her jaw. "There are three club presidents coming to attack? No. Isn't the place random? How unlucky they can be to actually get dropped near three groups with such people leading them."

Hana's expression turned serious. She thought that this would be a perfect time to unleash the power of the beast soul. The enemies wouldn't have expected it, and they could take advantage of the confusion to defeat them.

"What are they going to do?" Utaha asked.

"It seems that you have finally taken this competition seriously." The principal suddenly broke his silence while staring at Hana.

"Well, of course, we should take it seriously. After all, this is an annual event... It's just that those guys are rather unpredictable. Even I can't control or predict what they're going to do. However, I believe that the Libation Fiesta will be using their beast souls at this moment."

"Hoho? We can finally see what kind of product it is." The principal squinted his eyes.

"Indeed. Then again, I'm not the one inventing it. I'm just a partner."

"!!!" The principal widened his eyes in shock, noticing the hidden meaning of those words. "A partner? Don't tell me..."

"Indeed. It's Clovis and his group who found the research, and I just tested everything so that it didn't bring any bad effect to the body." Hana explained.

She didn't want to claim the credit for one reason. Doing so would just annoy Clovis, since the latter wanted to rake up some achievements.@@@@

The more valuable he became, the more protected he would be.

Of course, Clovis' original intention to give this research to Hana was to protect himself from those people.

That was why Hana explained it a bit more. "Then again, I'm the one holding the research right now. It's not like they're going to understand it or anything. They're just benefiting from the royalty."

"Hoho. That sounds interesting." The principal nodded, understanding her meaning.

This way, people wouldn't bother Clovis too much, considering Hana was the one holding everything and Clovis didn't even know about the research.

Some would still attack him to force him to get it again from Hana, but that was the risk Clovis was willing to take.

...

"Melissa. Don't butt in. We both know that I'm the strongest here! It's obvious I'm allowed to fight him first."

"What did you say?"

Both of them were glaring at each other while Clovis simply said, "It seems that the three of you want to fight me, but this is troubling. I can't fight all three of you at the same time. I know my limit. The question is... who will fight me? Since you guys don't attack us right away, how about listening to my proposal?"

"Hmm?" All three club presidents squinted their eyes, wondering what Clovis had to say.

"The rule will be simple. Jay, Ragna, and Erwin... These three will fight one of you. Those who win will fight me." Clovis grinned.

Even though they were underestimated, they didn't get angry. Instead, Sando said, "If we do that, won't you get the upper hand?"

"Nope. I'll be fighting your subordinates... All of them. Let's see whether your groups are defeated first or my people lose first. What do you think?"

All three of them contemplated for a moment before exchanging looks with each other. It seemed that this was the best solution.

They were too weak to take on Clovis' group alone, but they didn't really want to rely on other groups. This was perfect for them.

"I'll take that challenge." Sando nodded.

"I'll do the same."

"Same here."

"That's enough." Clovis smiled. "We'll defeat you then."

"So it's time." Kanaria smirked.

Jay stepped forth and said, "I guess you are unlucky because you'll be the first ones experiencing the new beast soul."

Everyone except for Clovis smiled. They couldn't contain their excitement anymore since they wanted to test how effective the new beast soul was against strong opponents.

All of them activated their new beast soul at the same time.
