The crowd's murmurs of astonishment echoed across the area after Seung and Sunny completed the first stage with shocking speed. Hunters stationed on rooftops exchanged bewildered looks, impressed by how quickly the two of them had navigated through the traps, evaded bullets, and secured their keys.
"How did they even move that fast?" one Hunter muttered, peering through his scope as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
"I barely saw them," another added, shaking his head in disbelief. "And they were right in front of me."
Standing on the storey building's platform, Kim Eunji stood with her arms crossed, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. It wasn't just the speed that impressed her—it was the calmness with which Seung and Sunny moved under the intense pressure. She uncrossed her arms and took a step forward, calling out, "Alright, listen up! You've both passed the first stage, but now we move to the second."
