"It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect to actually… meet you in person," Daichi said, bowing slightly.
Haruya also bent his head.
"You're the same… always my role model. Especially… I've heard of your heroic deeds. Why are you still a hunter?" Haruya asked.
Jinta looked at them silently for a moment, his eyes sharp but not unkind. "I understand. You're loyal to him. You want to protect his identity. Very well. I respect that. But hear me out. This dungeon you cleared… it was no ordinary S-rank dungeon. There's a reason I called you here. That person… he's not just strong. He's a once-in-a-generation hunter. He could surpass Masen Nibori. And if he continues at this pace… he might reshape the entire hunter world. I want him in my association. For now, your silence is enough. But you must promise me one thing."
Haruya and Daichi exchanged glances. "What is it?" Daichi asked cautiously.
