News reporters swarmed around Aditya the moment he stepped out of the gate.
Microphones pushed in from every direction.
"Sir! Only this boy survived? How?"
"What is his power level? Who is he?"
Aditya took a deep breath, his voice firm.
"This boy's name is Jay… and his approximate power level is over 100,000."
A wave of gasps erupted.
Every news screen in the country flashed Jay's image.
Public panic, shock, confusion—everything erupted at once.
Aditya turned away from the cameras, preparing to walk toward Jay—
—but Jay suddenly collapsed.
His body hit the ground with a thud as reporters screamed and cameras clicked nonstop.
Hospital
Jay's eyes snapped open.
White ceiling. Beeping monitors.
He rose immediately and began grabbing his shirt.
A doctor rushed in.
"You're not fully healed. Please, lie down and rest—"
Jay didn't listen.
He simply walked past her and left the room without saying a word.
Hunters Association Headquarters
When Jay arrived, the building was overflowing with hunters and officers. The atmosphere was tense—everyone sensed something huge was coming.
Aditya spotted him instantly.
"Jay, are you alright?"
"Yes."
Aditya turned to the gathered hunters.
His expression grave.
"On November 5… a massive war is coming."
"And our enemy… is ten times stronger than Jay."
Whispers. Fear. Disbelief.
A cocky hunter stepped forward.
"Ten times stronger than him? I can kill whoever that is easily."
Jay walked silently past the crowd and entered the training grounds.
Hunters followed him like a wave.
Jay stopped, turned around, and spoke calmly:
"Anyone who thinks they can face that enemy… step forward."
"Fight me."
Dozens lined up.
Jay lifted a hand.
"Summon."
💥 The entire Blood Army appeared.
Zarathor. Kaelvious. Thalvor.
The ground shook under their combined presence.
Media rushed into the grounds instantly, cameras rolling nonstop.
A New Presence
A man entered the Association building at that exact moment.
His aura alone made the walls vibrate.
He glanced around the empty hall.
Then he walked outside—
and saw Jay preparing for battle with dozens of hunters.
Jay raised his hand.
"Come."
The hunters charged.
Jay moved once.
BLINK—BOOM!
Every hunter dropped unconscious in a single hit.
The audience stood frozen.
The mysterious man removed his sunglasses.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"This boy… is interesting."
Jay felt his aura and frowned.
"I've never sensed such an aura… not even from demons."
Jay turned to Aditya.
"Who is this hunter?"
Aditya exhaled slowly.
"He's from the United States."
"Name: Wasko."
"One of America's Top 3 Hunters."
The moment his name was spoken, Wasko stepped forward.
He stopped right in front of Jay.
"I want to fight you."
Media erupted.
"Wasko is in India!"
"Wasko challenges Jay!"
Jay nodded.
"Okay."
Both took their fighting stance.
Their auras shot into the sky like twin pillars.
Jay vs Wasko — The Lightspeed Clash
BOOM!!
The ground exploded beneath them.
Punches. Kicks. Shockwaves.
Every strike made the audience stumble back.
Across the city—
Jay's sister's friends shouted:
"Turn on the TV! Jay is fighting outside!"
His sister hesitated.
But when the screen lit up—
She froze.
"J-Jay…?"
Back at the headquarters—
Wasko landed three rapid punches, sending Jay skidding backwards.
Zarathor and Kaelvious rushed to protect their master.
CRACK!!
Wasko sent both flying with a single punch each.
The crowd screamed.
For the first time, Thalvor stepped into a public fight.
Jay + Thalvor clashed with Wasko—
—and their combined aura shattered the glass of media cameras.
The ground trembled violently.
It felt like the entire headquarters was about to explode.
The Interruption
Suddenly—
Two girls walked into the scene.
The moment they entered, the energy around them shifted.
Even Wasko paused.
Jay froze mid-attack.
The entire field fell silent.
One of the girls stepped forward.
Ishita.
Her eyes locked onto Jay.
And the intense battlefield turned still.
Thalvor kneeled in front of Jay, completely in submission.
Slowly… the crowd dispersed.
But Jay remained still, staring at Wasko.
"That hunter… so powerful?"
Aditya walked beside him.
His voice quiet.
"Jay… Wasko has never used more than 60% of his power."
"And in your fight today… he didn't even use 10%."
Jay's eyes widened.
Shock crashed through him.
The world felt heavier.
Chapter Ends.
