Another World Mall-Chapter 628 : Clovis’ Choice
The people cheered the moment Clovis entered the arena. Although their team was less popular compared to practically the Tier 9 family, they still accumulated a lot of achievements in the country, with the biggest one being saving hundreds of people during the disaster, which ultimately caused the beast outbreak.
Unlike other teams who loved to flaunt their achievements, Clovis and the others rarely appeared on Skynet. Most of their articles came from Hana, which made them strong but mysterious.
That was why the cheers were much more hysterical compared to the other team. They all thought Clovis would bring them glory.
"The stadium is shaking!" Utaha grabbed the microphone excitedly. "Libation Fiesta has entered the arena."
Most of the cheers came from people who didn't have high strength or completely normal people.
However, those with higher-level strength were confused after seeing Clovis' team.
"This…"
"What's going on?"
"Are they really leaving it to this team?"
"Four of them are only Tier 4. Only two are able to put up a fight against the enemies."
"Are they trying to lose?"
That was right. In the eyes of an outsider, even though Clovis' team was extremely good, especially with their reputation of being able to take down someone above their rank, the enemies were also as talented as them.
If they were still Tier 4, they should be able to fight against Tier 5. Now that they are Tier 5 humans, no Tier 4 should be a challenge for them, considering they should have a certain level of ability to resist a Tier 6.
That was why people were confused. From the team composition alone, Clovis might at most win two times.
In addition, there was one problem. "Isn't their group able to invite that Christina?"
"Where is she?"
"She doesn't participate in this battle?"
"Are they planning to lose then?"
"Is this rigged?"
That was right. The people wondered where Clovis' strongest member, Christina, was. With Christina, Clovis at least had a much better chance to win.
However, Principal Vhalor wasn't foolish. There was no way he planned all this battle and staked his reputation and popularity just to lose everything in this battle.
That was why there might be something they didn't know.
Carrick couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, wondering what they had hidden from him. He raised his head, his gaze meeting Ezekiel's on the opposite side of the arena.
'What is that sly fox hiding?' Carrick gritted his teeth. It felt like he had fallen into a trap, but he didn't know what it was.
Meanwhile, Utaha maintained the people's excitement and shouted, "Since the battle has ended, it's time for us to introduce the referees that will oversee the matches.
"And what is this? There will be three referees in this match, with all of them being Tier 8 humans."
"!!!"
"What?"
"Tier 8 humans?"
"They're going all out for this match."
The people became even more excited. The country didn't have a lot of Tier 8 humans, so normal people might not even meet them in their lifetime except on the Skynet.
That was why they got even more excited.
Little did they know, there was a reason for three judges to be added. Normally, a single Tier 8 human would be enough to oversee the battle between two Tier 5 humans.

However, with Ezekiel and Carrick entering the entire picture, they had to add precautions.
It was agreed that three people would be overseeing the match. Each side could pick one Tier 8 human themselves to be the judge while the country provided one. This way, each side had a judge that could stop a fatal attack, leaving no chance for the opposite party to intentionally kill the other party.
Both sides agreed that this was their only role. If they did anything to make the opposite side in trouble, it would result in the opposite team's victory.
Meanwhile, the real referee was the one given from the country. He had to ensure fairness from both sides.
With two giants fighting, there was no way the country was foolish enough to choose a side.
That was why the battle would be fair, which was what Clovis wanted.
The three judges consisted of Alan as the representative from Clovis' side, a bad man as the representative from other schools, and a general as the representative of the country.
"We are grateful for the three Tier 8 humans to help us take care of the matches." Utaha politely nodded. "In that case, let us have the two teams shake hands for a good battle."
Clovis and Tesron led their groups into the middle of the arena, each of them extending their hands.
"I don't know what you're planning to do, but you're not going to win," Tesron warned him with a grim expression.
Clovis' expression remained calm as though he wasn't bothered with the threat. "There is no trick. We'll fight and win because we're stronger. That's all to it."
"Do you think you can beat me?"
"What makes you think I can't beat you?"
Clovis and Tesron glared at each other.
"Allow me to explain the roster of the match. Each team will nominate the member that will participate in the next match. With no written roster, it will allow each team to be able to flexibly send out their member," as she explained, there were two staff bringing microphones for them.
According to this arrangement, the one who said the name first would be at a disadvantage since the other party might have learned about them and prepared someone who could handle them.
That was why Utaha added, "To avoid the unfairness, I will be counting one to three and the captain will reveal the name of their participant."
Even though she said it, with Tesron's special ability, he could have foreseen who Clovis planned to send. In the end, it would still be unfair.
Because of that reason, the moment Utaha raised her fingers, "Without further ado, let's count it. 1…," Clovis immediately opened his mouth with a confident smile. "Kanaria."
"!!!"
