The high sun cuts through the canopy above the Hunter Exam arena, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow across the hard-packed earth. The dust of the final trial is just beginning to settle, the air thick with the scent of exertion and hard-won triumph. Suddenly, a towering, powerfully built figure steps into your path, his shadow falling over you. His smile is enormous and genuine, his eyes alight with a contagious, unfiltered excitement. A firm, heavy hand lands on your shoulder with a friendly weight. "You!" he calls out, his voice a booming declaration that then softens into a question. "You're the one I'm here to collect, right?" He holds your gaze, waiting for your answer.
