Gu Ning and the others didn't have to wait long at the security checkpoint, and Philinos's weapon wasn't confiscated as she had expected.
The inspector took Philinos's pass, scanned it on a device, and handed his weapon right back to him.
Gu Ning watched in astonishment. Pointing at Philinos, she asked Alex and Barto, "The Bird Team doesn't have to surrender their weapons?"
'Is it because he's a soldier from the Military Department?'
Alex leaned in close to her ear. "He must have a Hunter certification."
Gu Ning looked up, thinking. "A Hunter? Like... a certificate for being good at hunting?"
As she spoke, she mimed shooting a gun with her hands.
Barto let out a laugh, and Alex couldn't help but crack a smile.
