Akino's voice softened as she smiled nervously, trying her best to sound confident.
"Please… welco our ssiah, Scarlett Nova," she announced, her voice echoing throughout the broken area.
"Just like her captivating beauty… her strength is imasurable."
For a mont— silence.
A heavy, deafening silence fell upon the crowd. Everyone just stood there, processing what they had just heard.
But then—
"WHAT?! IMASURABLE?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!" soone from the crowd shouted, and at once, chaos erupted.
"Yeah, is there so kind of mistake? There's no way soone's strength can be imasurable!" another person yelled.
People started whispering and shouting, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. Reporters, who were already on edge after the explosion, now went absolutely wild.
A few of them imdiately broke through the crowd, desperately trying to approach Scarlett for an exclusive interview. Their caras and mics were already aid at her, flashing constantly.
"Miss Scarlett! Our Hunter News TV channel is willing to pay a huge amount for a personal interview! Please consider this offer!" one reporter shouted loudly, hoping to grab her attention.
"Our Dungeon-TV will also pay you an enormous amount! Consider our offer as well!" another reporter scread, his voice cracking from excitent.
It was pure madness. Everyone was pushing, shouting, and fighting to get close to Scarlett. They had just witnessed sothing unimaginable.
But then—
A sharp, commanding voice broke through the noise like thunder.
"You idiots! She’s from another world! Do you really think she even knows what a news channel is?!"
The voice was firm, filled with authority, yet undeniably feminine. The crowd instantly froze and turned their heads to see who it was.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Hovering in the air, just above the destroyed building, was a stunning woman with long, sleek black hair and soft blue eyes that resembled the deep ocean. Her gaze was sharp and cold, like soone who had seen countless battles.
She was wearing a futuristic, full-body nano suit that perfectly hugged her curves, giving her a seductive yet dangerous appearance. The suit was mixed colour of blue, black and white, and in the center of her chest was a massive, shining blue diamond-like core. The armor looked like it ca straight out of a science fiction movie.
The crowd gasped.
"S-Sora Aoi…! The ice queen, Sora aoi?" soone finally managed to say, their voice shaking with disbelief.
"The Fifth and youngest S-rank hunter of Japan… and also the third strongest hunter in the world…!" another person whispered, their face pale.
"GO LIVE! GO LIVE IMDIATELY!" one of the reporters scread frantically. "Our TRP is gonna SKYROCKET if we capture this mont!!"
Yes! The woman floating in the air was none other than Sora Aoi, the third-strongest hunter in the entire world and Japan's youngest S-rank hunter.
She was famous not only for her insane combat strength but also for her ethereal beauty. Even though she was still in the last year of the newly established Hunter Academy, she had already surpassed most of the world's top hunters.
At the very next mont—
A loud screech of tires filled the air as dozens of black cars ca speeding down the road, stopping abruptly right in front of the chaotic crowd.
The crowd fell silent, confused and curious, but that silence quickly turned into panic when the car doors flung open, and dozens of n in black suits poured out. Each of them was heavily ard, pointing their guns at the crowd. Their presence was intimidating and suffocating.
"Nobody moves any further!" one of the ard n shouted, his voice loud and clear.
"This matter is under higher authority. No civilians are allowed to interfere!" another man yelled, his gun still aid toward the public.
The reporters froze in fear, so trembling while clutching their caras. The crowd murmured nervously, unsure of what was happening.
Up in the air, Sora Aoi descended slowly, her blue eyes cold and sharp.
"This matter is no longer your concern," Sora announced as she landed gently on the ground. "Step back and keep your distance if you value your safety."
Scarlett, who had been silently watching the situation unfold, finally shifted her gaze toward Sora. She narrowed her eyes, examining the woman in
armor.
Ice queen, huh? Scarlett smirked to herself. Reminds
of Xao Feng… but honestly, Xao is way better.
Just as Scarlett was about to continue observing, a petite figure suddenly jumped in front of her, blocking her view.
It was Irish. Her face was puffed up in jealousy, and her cheeks were slightly red.
"Stop looking at her too much! Look at !" Irish pouted, folding her arms dramatically. Her possessiveness was clear.
"Pfft…!" Scarlett couldn't help but chuckle, looking away just to tease her further.
Irish's cheeks turned even redder, and she puffed them up angrily. "anie!" she muttered under her breath.
anwhile, Sora finally approached Akino, her gaze still sharp and professional.
"Ms. Akino," Sora addressed her calmly, "Your work here is done. You can step back and rest now. But before you leave… mind explaining what you ant by imasurable?"
Akino, who was already ntally drained, hesitated for a mont before answering.
"Ah… well…" she began nervously, trying to find the right words. "The machines we use to asure battle points are designed to read up to twenty million battle points at most… but…"
"But Ms. Scarlett completely destroyed the machine with just one finger. The machine didn’t even have the chance to calculate her power before it exploded… so technically… her battle points are imasurable."
A long silence followed. Sora stared at Akino, processing the information.
Finally, she raised an eyebrow. "I see…" she muttered, her tone unreadable. "Understood. You can leave now."
Without wasting a second, Akino’s eyes lit up with tears of joy.
"I'M FINALLY FREEEEE!!!" she scread as she dashed toward the luxurious limousine parked on the road. "I swear I'm resigning from this job and having a peaceful retirent!! Sob…sob…"
The crowd watched in disbelief as Akino practically threw herself into the car, desperate to escape the ss.
anwhile, Sora turned back toward Scarlett. She took a deep breath, straightened her posture, She slightly bowed in respect toward Scarlett.
"It is an honor to have you with us, Ms. Scarlett," Sora spoke politely. "You have already proven your strength. Now… let’s proceed. It’s ti to finalize a contract."
Scarlett’s eyebrows slightly raised. "Contract?" she repeated in her mind. "They have sothing like contracts here too?"
But instead of voicing her surprise, Scarlett smirked and crossed her arms arrogantly.
"A contract, huh?" she said, her voice filled with smugness. "A contract is supposed to benefit both parties… so what exactly do I get after saving you guys?"
Sora froze for a mont, clearly not expecting that response.
"What do you want then?" Sora finally asked, slightly caught off guard. "Wealth? n? Power? Land? Or perhaps sothing else?"
Scarlett pretended to think for a mont, tapping her chin playfully. "Hmm…"
But then she grinned slyly. "I don’t know for now," she said casually. "But I can guarantee that whatever it is, you guys can fulfill it… I will not ask anything that will be beyond your capabilities!
