When the Endeavour crew arrived on the scene, the crowd broke out in a scream as the paparazzi and press snapped as many photos as possible. Today was the day they would officially be rewarded the title of the number 1 hunting party, Enji had been waiting since her heard the news of the fall of Toshinori and his crew, of corse he felt bad for them. It would be inhuman to feel not an ounce of sympathy. However, he wouldn't deny that he was exited to finally get the title he believed he deserved.

The Endeavour hunting party walked past the flashes of cameras, following the luxurious carpet into the great biulding. Once inside they were greeted by the soft murmur of other hunters chatting amongst one another, their vibrant eye catching outfits unique to themselves.

Enji had chose an old classic of his, a dark blue suit with a orange shirt and red tie. Basic but affective. Tsunagu had managed to sew a brand new suit for himself made entirley from denim, even his shirt. The man was always known for his extravagant denim outfits, it was his statement. Standing right by the tall blond was Shinya, he'd decided to wear a black waist coat along with a crimson shirt. His dark outfit was complemented by a few blue accents and silver jewellery. Then there was Moe, the woman had decided to wear a white pencil skirt and a lose jacket to match, a black blouse and accessories complimenting the bold green hair. The only members who had even attempted makeup where Moe and Tsunagu, always trying to look their best.

The captain had decided that they would arrive earlier than usual, making sure not to miss the Mirko crew. It'd be better to discuss the situation with the young man as soon as possible, leaving him some time to think over it during the nights festivities. Kamiji immediately was drawn towards the drinks, their shimmering liquid trapped in the delacate glasses. The lady was kind enough to carry the first round of drink to her crew who had moved to a booth at the corner of the magnificent marble hall.

"So, we just waiting on the crazy rabbit lady then eh?"

She'd question, taking her seat next to Enji.

"Seems so"

The old man would huff, taking one last look over the large croud.

No sign of the crew so far, maybe they were just running a little late. Usually the younger ones arrive ridiculously early or terribly late, which the captain assumed was the latter. Time ticked by, the room filling with a few more groups of hunters yet still no sign. Soon enough they were to announce the results for leading teams and the individual ranking for this year. Where could they be?

Screams of adorance leaked into the hall, turning a few heads at the ruckus. Probably some group of hunters that fans had the hots for at the moment. The red head scoffed, turning away to sip at his drink.

"They're here"

The regal blond tapped his captains shoulder, pointing towards the door.

It was difficult to see from all the way in the corner. Enji craned his neck up, catching a glimpse of a tall woman with drak skin and flawless white hair. That must be Rumi, he'd assume. His suspicious confiemed as another woman trailed behind. This one was blond, dressed in an elagant scary red dress and a claw head peice. That was Ryuko, the captain had done some reaserch on the group beforehand to ensure he found the right people.

"Are we heading over now then?"

Kamiji quizzed eagerly, looking around the swarms of hunters to see their target.

"Hold on for a moment, they've only just arrived,"

Hakamada begun, patting the young lady on her shoulder.

"give them a moment to enjoy themselves"

He'd suggest with a polite smile, taking his glass back in hand.

"They don't have a moment, their announcing the awards now"

The silver haired man pointed out as the light begun to dim.

"Thank you captain state the obvious"

The green haired woman scoffed jokingly, turning her attention to the announcer.

"I'm sure you're all dying to know the results of this year so I will try not to drag on too much, but I'd just like to say a few words"

The announcer spoke into their microphone, their booming voice hitting every wall of the vast room.

Todoroki zoned out, shifting his focus to sipping his drink. Announcers usually rambled on for eons, no point listening in to it all, and he remained detached from the situation for a few minutes. His ignorance was broken when his table was lit up in a cool white light.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your number one hunting party!"

The man with the microphone cheered, moving to the side to allow the Endeavour's crew more room on the stage.

It was always crouded on that stage, no matter how thet compacted themselves to a corner. As the Endeavour crew took their spot on the highest point, Enji took notice of the two other groups at his side. One led by Yoroi Musha, Shinya's past team. They were held in second place. Then on the left was the Mirko crew. A perfect chance to finally speak to Keigo.

The red head looked over to view the number 3 team, frustratingly the blond was hidden behind the other members, still put of sight. Fuck. This wa proving to be a hassle.

Within a few seconds each team was ushered away form the stage, all sent their separate ways. The Endeavour captain groaned as he watched the blond dissapeer inro the crowd once again. He'd have to catch him after the awards, beacuse now he was going to get dragged about with the indaviduals rankings.

"Coming in at number 10 with his incredible strength and durability is Kugo Sakamata!"

The announcer beckoned a tall man with black and white hair onto the stage. He also had pretty red eyes to match, and he was indeed very muscular. His right suit clung to the surface of the man's skin, holy shit. Keigo giggled as his best friend gave him a look, a look that called him out as a simp. The man was the captain of the Gang Orca. He was really scary but oh my god he was hot, maybe Keigo could 'chat' with him tonight. Rumi and the bird man were so busy giggling amongst themselves taht they were caught of guard as Keigo's name.

The winged man looked at the stage the back at his friend, unsure of what was happening. Was he getting scolded for talking too loud?

"Do we have a Keigo Takami with us here tonight?"

The announcer asked, looking over the crowd.

"Over here!"

Rumi called while extending her arm in the air.

"Keigo, come take your place on stage"

The man with the microphone gestured to the spot right next to Kugo.

An exited squeal could be heard from the white haired woman as her best friend made his way awkwardly to the stage. As the blond took his spot next to the mountain of a man that was Sakamata, feeling very out of place as Ryuko took her place at his side. Surley there was some kind of mistake. Enji had been 20 when he finally hir the top 10 and he held the record as the youngest pro to reach the top 10, so being called up at 18 was absurd.

"And finally our number 1 hunter, with a burning passion and unwavering determination Enji Todoroki!"

The announcer revealed to the crowd, although they all already knew.

Loud cheers and clapping filled the room as the red haired captain stood at the end of the stage. Finally taking the number 1 spot, after so many years of living in Toshinori's shadow. Everybody gazed up at their top leading hero's.

1. Enji Todoroki
2. Tsunagu Hakamada
3. Shinya Kamihara
4. Yoroi Musha
5. Rumi Usagiyama
6. Susugu Mitarai
7. Shinji Nishiya
8. Ryuko Tatauma
9. Keigo Takami
10. Kuro Sakamada

Their names went up in lights on the leader board at the end of the great hall, sitting beside the team rankings. The stage was lit up in a variety of colours as pictures were taken, some hunters even getting asked questions by the press. Once the blond had answered his own bombardment of questions, all of which concerning his fast rise to the top he was nuged by the blonde lady at his side.

"Just letting you know that Enji had been staring at you"

She'd Whisper quietly, leaning down so that only Keigo could hear.

The young hunter looked around his teammate to view the number 1. Enji turned his head away the second he saw the blond look over, trying to seem inconspicuous. He was definitely staring, it was undeniable. After they finished up with the questions the young pilot would go and speak to him.
