"From what you've seen so far in this world... Who do you think holds the most power?"

Was this a trick question? I could see the merit of asking something like this to test me, but the answer was quite obvious wasn't it?

It seemed to be the government.

'All Hunters register with the Hunter Association, and it's a public agency dedicated to protecting the citizens.'

They received their salaries from the government, and depending on their contributions and ranks, had other benefits.

'Since only the government possessed the technology to 'Awaken' a person, those who undergo the process have to sign an exclusivity contract with them, ensuring that they used their newfound powers for the greater good, as Hunters.

It gave them obligations and rules to follow.

Therefore, the government—The Hunter Association—was in charge... at least, on the surface.

"I'm not sure what you mean." I smiled instead. "It does seem like it's the government, right?"
