Blazren stood in the Hero Association's command room.
His eyes were locked on the screen in front of him.
The report showed the current status of hero losses.
He frowned deeply.
"A month… and over 200 heroes gone."
He tapped the screen.
"B-Rank. A-Rank. All missing."
An officer nearby lowered his head. "Yes, sir. No signs, no messages. Just gone."
Blazren muttered, "Damn it."
He turned and looked at everyone in the room.
"We can't keep this up."
"We've already lost too many."
He pointed to the officer beside him. "Tell the top brass. We need AA-Rank heroes now."
The officer nodded. "All AA-Rank, sir?"
Blazren shook his head.
"No. Not the weak ones."
The room went silent.
"I want the peak AA-Ranks," Blazren said firmly. "The ones who are nearly S-Rank."
Another officer asked, "How many should we call?"
"As many as we can trust," Blazren said. "We'll hold a meeting. No excuses."
He paced the room.
