"Captain, this is all a misunderstanding. The thought of something indecent never even crossed my mind." Nova hurriedly explained himself.
Rock shrugged helplessly.
"It's all good, but what's the point of explaining it to me? You need to explain it to the other party, she seems to have already formed a bad impression towards you."
"I already know that captain," Nova whined softly, "Can you give me some ideas to solve this problem? I don't know if that lady will hold a grudge?"
"What can I do in this situation? I don't know anything about her, not even her name. So, how should I offer you help in this situation? You need to figure it out yourself and now leave me alone, I don't want to become your accomplice in this case."
Instead of leaving, Nova closed the distance between them and pulled his hand.
"Captain, if don't give me some useful ideas, I will go ahead and tell that lady that you are my boss and it was your idea to begin with."
Rock's eyes widened, "What, are you threatening me?"
Nova shook his head.
"No, I'm just using your earlier statement against yourself. You said yourself that you would protect your teammates even if it means offending the noble." In the end, he even grinned a little.
Rock solemnly looked at Nova, hoping that he could get out of this mess quickly.
"Okay, Okay, I will give you one idea. After finishing all the battle, just go ahead and confess everything truthfully to that lady."
"Most of the time honesty and sincerity alone would clear all the misunderstanding, at least that's what helped most of the time in my marital life."
Rock said while shaking his hand, "Now, leave me alone before she could see me." He immediately distanced himself a little from Nova.
"What the hell, captain? You cannot leave me alone in this situation."
"No, no, it's your first hurdle as a man and you have to conquer it on your own."
Nova couldn't say anything anymore after seeing Rock wasn't interested in getting involved in this drama. He had to somehow convince the lady on his own.
'At least he gave me an idea. I just hope it works.'
Dave, who remained silent till now, opened his mouth. "Everyone, line up."
Immediately Nova and Rock turned silent and went behind the Watson Aristocracy members to join the line.
"I think, this battle is okay and I will watch you carefully in the upcoming battle. I want everyone to perform like this."
"Yes, captain, we will do it."
***
Nova immediately forgot about the lady's matter and focused on the battle. He was mainly concerned about learning everyone's ability and remained as cooperative as possible.
In the first two battles, everything went smoothly and they never had to struggle even if they had to face three or four elite monsters.
Dave's anger completely anguished and he even began to participate in the upcoming battle.
That, for the rest of the day, they mostly competed with various types of monsters and tested their teamwork and abilities as much as possible.
Dave clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.
"Good job, everyone! You guys performed very well in the battles and I'm very satisfied with it."
"Nighttime is going to arrive soon, so we will do one last battle and end the day."
Everyone nodded and they were also tired from fighting all day even if it wasn't hard.
Also, compared to the start of the day, the climate changed a lot. The small snow squall already become a little bigger and shows signs of becoming larger.
If the trend continues, before the end of seven days, it will soon become a huge snowstorm—that can kill ordinary people in minutes.
They soon spotted a huge group of Wulpers—a species similar to seal lion, but more deadly and ferocious.
Without a word of command, everyone grouped on their own and started the attack.
The large amount of battle during the day was already enough for everyone to know about the basic habits of others and to cooperate without any command.
The battle went very smoothly without any problems, and everyone did their role flawlessly, but as the battle went on, Nova began to feel a slight unease.
'Why is this happening?'
Before he could inform others, Nova felt a chill run down his spine. His danger sense rang heavily.
