The air was electric outside the IHA headquarters, filled with the deafening cheers of gathered crowds. Today marked the long-awaited Hunters' Summit, a rare event where the Six Pillars and the legendary Mana King would convene. Onlookers lined the streets, their excitement spilling over the barricades set up by police and military forces. Reporters jostled for position, cameras flashing, eager to capture a glimpse of the hunters who symbolized the nation's strength and security.
Inside the IHA headquarters, the atmosphere was equally charged. Footsteps echoed through the grand corridor as Zarek walked in formation with his party, Cain leading at the center. The tension in the air didn't faze Cain, but Zarek couldn't help but glance at the polished walls and towering ceilings of the building, his nerves rising with every step.
"There sure are a lot of people, Captain," Grey commented, breaking the silence.
