Colin walked down the corridor and naturally started making conversation.

“There are other Hunters spending time in the building before the meeting starts as well, from what I understand. Quite a lot of Hunters have already arrived….”

“Very organized. You must’ve been in chaos with an S-rank Gate having broken out.”

“Yes. Looking at the cases of other countries where an S-rank Gate broke out recently…. Ah, damn. I’m sorry.”

Maybe he had forgotten our nationality, because Colin had been speaking absentmindedly and then hurriedly added an apology.

'So they used our country’s S-rank case as a cautionary example?'

Well, that made sense. The domestic and international buzz had been intense because we had resolved it with our own power, but since quite a few A-rank Hunters had died in the process, criticism had come out over how it was handled too.
