"You also show strong potential," the woman added. "Keep training and your rank could rise quickly. Please have a seat—I'll get your registration form ready."
As she left the room, Raito sank into a nearby chair, his heart still racing.
He stared at his palm and smiled faintly. A rank C hunter… it's a start.
From here, I'll climb higher. Stronger. Until I can face monsters like that Hydra again—and this time, win for real.
"I have to try my best to reach level fifty," Raito muttered as he looked down at the glowing card in his hand. "If I reach level fifty, I'll be capable of facing anyone… even monsters like that Rank S Hydra I fought."
He exhaled, still staring at the card. His name, age, and every required detail were neatly engraved in gold letters.

"Wow… this is amazing," he said quietly, a small smile breaking across his face.
