Chapter 15 - Chapter 15:The Attention

Recap & Intro

Jay walks out of the testing grounds, still thinking about one thing:

"How will my test results turn out…?"

The scene flashes back to glimpses of the Hunter Test — the punching test, Kabir's accident, Ishita's shock, and Dhruv's words echoing:

"He is the strongest one here."

Back to the present.

Jay reaches home. His sister opens the gate.

"What happened? How was your test?" she asks softly.

Jay gives a calm nod.

"It went… fine."

He heads to his room, drops onto his bed, and closes his eyes.

But suddenly—

BREAKING NEWS!

The TV lights up in his room:

"Tomorrow, the Hunters Association Head has called for an emergency press conference!"

Jay sits up, eyes narrowing.

Next Morning — Hunters Association Headquarters

The building is filled with hunters from every corner of the country.

As Jay enters the main hall, a powerful aura hits him like a shockwave.

Someone is standing there, waiting… almost expecting him.

The man walks up to Jay.

"Hello… my name is Amar."

Jay feels the aura again — heavy, overwhelming, but controlled.

"His aura… it's insanely strong…"

Jay shakes his hand.

"I'm Jay."

Right then, Dhruv walks up with a wide smile.

"Perfect! I was just going to introduce you two!"

He looks at Jay and explains,

"This man is Amar — India's strongest hunter."

Then turns to Amar:

"And this is Jay… the one I told you about."

Amar freezes. His eyes widen.

He didn't expect this boy to be the one.

Press Conference Scene

Hundreds of reporters and hunters gather.

The Association Head walks forward.

A tall man with sharp eyes and a calm, terrifying aura.

Aditya — "The Invincible Hunter."

Everyone falls silent.

Aditya speaks:

"Demons are far stronger than the world thinks.

And some demons… can hide among humans."

Murmurs start across the hall.

"Some demons can shift into shadow form.

If you sense an unusual aura or find any suspicious gate — report it immediately."

A reporter stands up.

"You were once known as the strongest hunter alive! Why don't you wipe out demons yourself?"

Aditya gives a cold half-smile.

"…The time for that hasn't come yet."

He leaves the stage, ending the conference.

Main Hall Scene

A few minutes later, Aditya walks into the hall again.

Suddenly, his eyes widen.

He senses two massive auras.

One is familiar.

"Abhishek's aura…?"

And the second—

Aditya's gaze stops on Jay.

He walks toward him.

"What's your name?" Aditya asks.

"Jay," he answers calmly.

The hall falls into complete silence. Hunters whisper. Eyes widen.

Everyone feels it.

This pressure… this presence…

Jay isn't normal.

Dhruv rushes in.

"Sir! You're here! Is everything alright?"

Aditya doesn't look away from Jay.

"Who is this boy? This aura… he's stronger than everyone in this hall."

Dhruv breathes deeply.

"Sir… he's the one I told you about."

Aditya folds his arms, still staring.

Then asks:

"Jay, why didn't you take the credit for the Demon War?"

Jay answers without hesitation:

"I don't need credit."

Aditya actually smiles — impressed.

"Jay… I want to officially invite you to join the Demon Butcher Team."

The offer stuns the entire hall.

Jay thinks for a moment.

Then calmly replies:

"…Sorry.

I'm not interested in joining anything right now."

Without waiting for reactions, he turns around, walks outside, and gets into his jeep.

The engine roars.

Jay drives away…

leaving the entire headquarters in stunned silence.
