As a veteran Blood Hunter, Abi had seen too many tragedies befall members of the Blood Hunter Corps.
Thus, he no longer held much hope for the current state of the world.
He only hoped that the Human Race could hold onto their small piece of territory, and perhaps that the Blood Hunters' Applied Technology Empire could achieve another breakthrough soon.
Otherwise...
Given the Empire's current situation, they could only continue to plug the gaps with the lives of generation after generation.
No one heard Abi's silent sigh.
But now, looking at the kids before him, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, you brats."
"I know you're all excited right now, but have you forgotten I'm an injured man? Can't you show a little concern for me first?"
Hearing Abi say this, the young men and women of the squad suddenly burst into playful laughter.
"Concern?"
