Capítulo 36: Buying Rough Stones

When the topic switched to alpha tiers, the scene went quiet once again. Everyone cautiously surveyed Tuss.

Tuss remained cool as a cucumber, acting as if he didn't notice their gazes.

Ender clapped him on the shoulder, saying, "No worries, even without the pheromone, you're still better than the rest."

Daleks quickly agreed, exclaiming, "Absolutely, you're the best."

Amused, Tuss shrugged it off, saying, "There's no need for that, I don't mind."

Besides, his pheromone wasn't necessarily worse than before. He hadn't tested his tier since his latest differentiation, but his gut told him that he had only gotten stronger.

Seeing the twinkle in his eyes, Ender knew Tuss had taken things in stride. He reassured him, "We'll be waiting for you and Yuri on Planet Alpha."

Already heading towards his mecha, Tuss waved without looking back, saying, "See you then."
