"Chairman, Mr. Netero's son, Beyond, has applied to join the expedition team." Beans, who had been astonished by Odin and Ponzu, stood before Odin once again. "He said he was willing to accept surveillance."

Unlike Netero, however, Odin paid far less attention to the Hunter Association's affairs.
He also had very little interest in nurturing talent within the Hunter Association.
