Rama arrived with Sekar and fourteen Champions to find two hundred hunters already assembled. Every major guild in Jakarta represented. Independent hunters filling remaining seats. Media confined to designated area but cameras recording everything.

Director Hartono stood at podium, waiting for silence. When crowd noise didn't diminish naturally, he activated amplification ability. His voice cut through conversations like blade.

Hartono gestured toward large screens displaying footage from yesterday's fight. Rama defeating twenty hunters. Budi using corruption crystal. The purification. Everything documented in high definition.
