Hunter Association

After hearing Lyra speak so grandly about the Hundred Battle Regions, painting them as a chaotic land filled with hidden fortunes and deadly opportunities, and especially after the warnings she carefully laced between her explanations, Max finally let out a long breath and sighed.

He knew she wasn't exaggerating. A place where countless geniuses gathered, fought, and fell… it was bound to be dangerous beyond reason. But Max had always sought places like that—places where strength was the only currency, and progress could be made through sheer will and power.

Still, he had his concerns. His gaze slowly drifted toward the five geniuses seated at the opposite side of the room—each of them radiating pride, confidence, and the kind of arrogance only the powerful could afford.

"Alright," Max finally said, his voice calm but firm. "I'll team up. But would they?" he added, glancing directly at the group with a faint, almost indifferent smile.
