Kael casually swept his senses across the crowd.
There was no sign of Ezra or the rest of her team.
He looked toward Lyra.
"You see?"
"They’re not even here yet."
A helpless sigh escaped him.
"You rushed me out of bed for nothing."
"I could’ve slept a little longer."
Lyra folded her arms.
"Don’t be lazy."
"They’re practically helping us level up."
"The least we can do is not keep them waiting."
Kael snorted.
"Helping us level up?"
"You shouldn’t have accepted the offer."
He puffed out his chest dramatically.
"This amazing brother of yours could’ve helped you level much faster."
"I’m pretty strong, you know."
As he spoke, he casually flexed one arm.
The sleeve of his combat suit tightened around the lean muscle beneath.
Following the reconstruction of his body and the cultivation of the Primordial Genesis Sutra, his physique had undergone tremendous changes.
He wasn’t bulky.
Nor was he thin.
Every muscle seemed perfectly proportioned, giving his body a naturally athletic appearance that balanced power with agility.
Lyra blinked.
Her eyes unconsciously lingered on his arm for a second longer than usual.
’...When did that happen?’
At home, Kael almost always wore loose, comfortable clothes.
Combined with the fact that she had never paid much attention to her brother’s physique in the first place, she simply hadn’t noticed the changes.
Now...
Seeing him openly flexing his arm caught her completely off guard.
’Did he secretly start working out?’
The thought flashed through her mind.
In the end, she simply assumed it was one of the physical changes brought about by Awakening.
She rolled her eyes.
"Stop showing off."
She pointed toward a relatively empty corner nearby.
"Let’s wait over there."
Kael shrugged.
"Sure."
The two siblings walked over together.
After reaching the empty spot, Kael reached into his inventory.
A moment later...
Two foldable reclining chairs appeared in his hands.
Without the slightest hesitation, he unfolded both of them before placing them neatly on the ground.
One for himself.
One for Lyra.
The moment the chairs appeared...
Several nearby hunters stopped what they were doing.
"..."
"..."
Confused expressions spread across more than one face.
Someone quietly muttered,
"Who’s that kid?"
"Some rich young master or something?"
Another hunter shook his head.
"I doubt it."
"He looks like he only awakened recently."
"Probably doesn’t know how valuable inventory space is."
A few others nodded in agreement.
To them...
Using precious inventory slots to store reclining chairs was simply absurd.
Kael naturally heard every single comment.
His enhanced hearing left little unnoticed.
Still...
He couldn’t be bothered explaining himself.
He simply sat down comfortably before gesturing toward the empty chair beside him.
Lyra looked at him.
Then at the chair.
Then back at him.
Her expression became increasingly complicated.
"...You used your inventory space..."
"...For this?"
Kael merely shrugged.
He understood exactly why everyone found it strange.
Every newly Awakened Hunter received twenty inventory slots.
No more.
No less.
Leveling up didn’t increase them.
To Hunters, every single slot was incredibly precious.
Many would rather carry heavy equipment on their backs than waste even one inventory slot.
Meanwhile...
He was storing reclining chairs.
From their perspective...
It was unbelievably wasteful.
The truth, however, was different.

He could always throw the chairs and the other random items out.
