301. A Celebration Party held by Hunter Association

"Everyone, the selection is over, and we have our two representatives: Erza and Ray. They will represent Starfire Guild at Dallas Academy." Zemiri announced, marking the end of the selection.

"With that, the selection assessment has concluded. You are all dismissed."

As the thrilling selection came to an end, guild members slowly dispersed from the Combat Hall. Some departed in clusters, laughing and joking as they made their way out. Others chose to walk alone, lost in thought.

Orion's sharp gaze followed them as they left, contemplating his own departure. In just two days' time, he would be leaving for Dallas Academy and it could be some time before he returned to Masturi City.

With that realization, he felt a sense of urgency to take care of any necessary tasks before embarking on his new journey. He wanted to make sure everything was in order before setting off into the unknown.

"Ray, are you leaving?" Shuna asked him at that moment.
