Both Innu and Blake had witnessed the last moments of Roman, the five-star hunter. Before, in the Altered Hunters Society, when a five-star hunter perished, it was a large deal.
Their strength, their stars on their body, was proof of how much they had been through in the organization. How many battles they had faced and managed to get out alive time and time again.
The profession was one that had a somewhat high amount of deaths. This was mitigated through the times as Altered Hunters came up with more rules. To not strike on their own, to research who they were taking out, doing a calculation to only get involved in fights they knew they could win.
However, one could say that five-star hunters had managed to surpass all of that, giving them free rein. It felt like they were almost unstoppable. The strength within the five-star hunters varied greatly, though.
