Synopsis

A tense exchange between a Japanese A-rank hunter, Hanekawa, and a Korean interpreter escalates into a rule-based wrist-grabbing match. This display prompts a proposal for a larger competition between S-rank hunters from both countries, but with a new set of rules emphasizing team-based combat. The chapter sets up the upcoming confrontation and introduces new characters and conflicts, with some characters showing a clear disregard and arrogance towards Korean Hunters, particularly from the Japanese side.
