00:00Two of three ingredients done.
00:15So all that's left is the purified blood of the Demon Monarch.
00:21Gotta be on my A-game when I finally go for it.
00:24The Demon's Castle definitely helped me farm XP,
00:27but officially I'm still stuck at E-Rank.
00:31So how am I going to be able to participate in higher-level raids?
00:37I need to stop faking.
00:39Not like I can hide the truth forever.
00:45It's time I retook the Hunter evaluation.
00:57Don't worry, let's do it in the future.
00:58I'm still stuck in the power of the Demon's Castle.
01:00Rollin' to the Creeper.
01:02But I'm still alive.
01:04I'll be awake and fall, live and go.
01:08It's time for a rule to defend.
01:11They drop in speech,
01:13oh, statue of the body count.
01:15Oh, it's a good spot to show.
01:17Yeah, it's a good spot to show.
01:19I'll give back the light.
01:21It gave me one.
01:22I'm pleased you, yes, no, you are old.
01:25Cause I'm back in this game.
01:27So let's go.
01:29I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired.
01:32Cause I'm back in this game.
01:34We need to survive.
01:36More dark, dark and smash.
01:38The hunt is bright.
01:40The day is so bright.
01:42Dreaming and wanting.
01:43Ungeeing or seeing.
01:44You never go.
01:45I'm sorry, I'm concerned.
01:46You see a window.
01:47I'm not going to destroy you again.
01:49It's great though.
01:50And I won't go shallow.
01:51It's that night of the day.
01:53We're going to be playing.
01:54I'm sorry.
01:55Cause I'm back in this game.
01:56So let's go.
01:58All right.
01:59Hanging down signs on the show.
02:02Cause I'm back in this game.
02:04We can't survive.
02:06Run the time.
02:07I'm getting around.
02:08Cause I.
02:09The face I know.
02:11Come track it.
02:12Uh, uh.
02:13Should never go away.
02:15Come track it.
02:16Uh, yeah.
02:17Yeah, I'm tapping.
02:25If you came for a rank assessment, the line will form over here.
02:29What kind of capable personnel are we gonna recruit today?
02:33He looks like a C.
02:35And he's pretty obviously an E.
02:38Who else we got?
02:40Uh.
02:43Hello.
02:44Beck speaking.
02:45This is Kitu from the second admin team.
02:47Everything okay?
02:48He just walked in.
02:49He?
02:50You mean Sung?
02:51Unless I'm dreaming, yes sir.
02:53And from the looks of it, he's here to get his hunter rank reassessed.
02:56Right this way, please.
02:59If you're sure, then I'm on my way.
03:01No need to be nervous about this.
03:06It's a simple test, and not like you can study for it.
03:09Yeah, you're right.
03:11I'm just trying to get my ex-wife and daughter to come back home, you know.
03:14Need to get this hunter stuff sorted out so I can earn some cash.
03:17See those suits?
03:19If you get rank D or higher, the scouts will approach you and try to convince you to join their guild.
03:24So don't worry.
03:26As long as you aren't E, you'll make a decent living.
03:29As long as you aren't E, huh?
03:32Next candidate.
03:34Coming.
03:35Could you confirm your name for me, please?
03:39Gino Song.
03:40It's a reassessment, then?
03:42Yes.
03:43It's the exact same process you went through the last time you were here.
03:47Place your hand against the black crystal and wait.
03:56Hold on.
03:58An error?
03:59I'm sorry, could you try again?
04:01Sure.
04:04That is so weird.
04:07Hey, what's wrong?
04:09Hey, Chief.
04:11Something's not right.
04:13I'm trying to assess him, but it says error.
04:15Huh.
04:16Well, let me take a look at it.
04:17One sec.
04:18Yep, it's the same every time.
04:21What now?
04:23Well, it isn't an error per se.
04:26What it means is he can't be assessed.
04:29Huh?
04:30I'm confused.
04:31His mana levels are so incredibly high that they can't even be measured by our equipment.
04:35Huh?
04:36In other words?
04:37Yes.
04:38He's the tenth person ever in our country to be an S-Rank.
04:45Any updates on the winged ant situation?
04:48The necropsy is underway.
04:50The intel department will compare the ant's biology and its trace magic power levels with unwinged examples.
04:57But it'll be a little longer before I have any results to report.
05:00And so it goes.
05:02Lots of strange things keeping you all busy.
05:05Like that red gate, for instance.
05:07Hmm.
05:08It was a white tiger raid that some outsider got to join, right?
05:12And said outsider defeated the dungeon boss.
05:14But who is he?
05:17Though I was present for the investigation, I didn't see it from start to finish.
05:22Meaning I don't have all the details.
05:24And so it goes.
05:26Oh, look.
05:27Seems there's some sort of commotion in the lobby.
05:29Most likely an awakened who got assessed and is making a fuss about it.
05:34I'll check it out.
05:37I think I'll go with you.
05:39That way I get all the details myself.
05:45They couldn't assess that guy?
05:47That's just nuts!
05:48Are we all witnessing history in the making here?
05:50I think we are.
05:51It's not like it's unprecedented.
05:53It's happened nine other times.
05:55We should have a solution, which means the nation finally got its tent S.
05:58Yeah, sure thing.
05:59Manager Ahn was right on the money.
06:02Gotta grab him before anyone else.
06:04Once you come back, we'll sort it out and get your license updated.
06:07Is that okay?
06:09Whoa!
06:10Look, guys!
06:11It's Jong-In Choi!
06:12The head of the Hunter's Guild!
06:13He who stands at the pinnacle of fire magic.
06:14Or, as most people know him, the ultimate weapon.
06:15Basically the opposite of my old nickname.
06:16Ah, that certainly explains the excitement.
06:18Why, hello there.
06:19I'm Jong-In Choi from the Hunter's Guild.
06:20Why, hello there.
06:21I'm Jong-In Choi from the Hunter's Guild.
06:22Although, perhaps you knew that.
06:23I would hate to make assumptions, however.
06:24Have you chosen a guild yet?
06:25If not, we could discuss it.
06:26Sorry, I'm busy.
06:27Oh, no way!
06:28He shot down Guildmaster Choi!
06:33Am I crazy?
06:38Although, perhaps you knew that.
06:40I would hate to make assumptions, however.
06:42Have you chosen a guild yet?
06:44If not, we could discuss it.
06:45Sorry, I'm busy.
06:49Oh, no way!
06:51He shot down Guildmaster Choi!
06:53Am I crazy?
06:55When I introduced myself, I said I was Zhongying Choi from the Hunter's Guild, didn't I?
06:59Yes, that did happen.
07:02Perhaps I came off as arrogant.
07:04You're becoming quite the celebrity, Hunter Sung.
07:10He was awfully silent as he left, too.
07:13Could be an assassin type.
07:17What is he doing here?
07:19President Beck!
07:21I see what's going on.
07:23The White Tiger's HQ is relatively close by.
07:27Yet he ran hard enough to be short of breath.
07:30That's how badly he wanted to talk to that man in person.
07:34Ding, ding, ding.
07:35I think I found the outsider who cleared the Red Gate.
07:41Zhongying.
07:50Of all the people that catch wind of this...
07:53She looks like she could wake up any minute.
08:13I'll find the cure for you, Mom.
08:15Promise.
08:15Today, I realized how blind I've been this whole time.
08:22Which is fairly ironic, given my position.
08:25Watching hunters and punishing lawbreakers.
08:28And I'm usually confident my judgment is sound.
08:32Are you saying I need surveillance?
08:33Not the same way a criminal might.
08:37The surveillance team handles all Hunter-related incidents, since no one else can.
08:42The problem is, when dealing with S-Ranks, even we're powerless.
08:46All that to say, there's someone who'd like to meet you.
08:49Hello, young man.
09:00Pleasure to meet you.
09:01I'm Gun-hee Goh, Chairman of the Hunters Association.
09:05First and foremost, I'd like to congratulate you on your S-Rank.
09:09What?
09:10They said to return, but it's all a formality at this point.
09:13The instant your mana measured off the charts, you became S-Rank by definition.
09:19Okay, then why?
09:20Why do the formal reassessment, you mean?
09:23Simple.
09:24Call it something of a grace period.
09:27It allows us to contact individuals like yourself before the guilds pounce.
09:32Believe it or not, the Association doesn't have many skilled hunters on staff, despite our reach.
09:37There's no real way for us to compete with the fame and fortune on offer from the larger guilds.
09:42Manager Wu here is among the most elite members we have.
09:47And even he's only A-Rank.
09:49Which brings me to why I'm here tonight.
09:52I'd be thrilled to call you one of us, Hunter Song.
09:57Naturally, you'll be given a position of respect and authority from day one.
10:02Why go so far?
10:04Our nation's greatest advocates are not politicians, but hunters.
10:08For we guard against the threat of magic beasts.
10:10At our core are the Prime Defenders, the five largest guilds.
10:16Presently, there is a delicate balance between these five dragons.
10:21Should you join one of them, the balance will tip, causing a substantial shift.
10:27That said, the Association also plays a vital role as deterrent.
10:31The sixth dragon keeping the others in check.
10:34And you need muscle.
10:35You do have the strength for the job, I can tell you that.
10:40And perhaps even one day.
10:44Are you interested?
10:46It is a good offer.
10:48A job at the Association is basically a guaranteed career.
10:51I doubt there's anyone who has greater influence than Chairman Cole.
10:57Especially with news outlets and the government.
11:01And he's an amazing hunter.
11:03Our country's first ever S-Rank.
11:06His magic power is ridiculous.
11:08You'd never guess he's over 80.
11:10Not with that physique.
11:11He may be retired from hunting, but I can feel he's still as strong as I am, even with all my efforts to level up.
11:19If I accept his offer, my whole life will change.
11:24Your thoughts, Hunter Sung?
11:28I'm sorry, sir.
11:30I have to decline.
11:33It comes down to money, after all.
11:37Because I want to fight.
11:39To fight?
11:42Fight against magic beasts, you mean?
11:45Yes.
11:46I'm certain that the dungeons are where I belong.
11:51Remarkable.
11:52I can see in his eyes he's not lying.
11:56How many years has it been since I felt this way?
12:00I'm impressed my heart still stirs such emotion in me.
12:03If I were 20, or even 10 years younger, I could fight alongside someone like him.
12:10Hmm.
12:12I suppose that's fair.
12:14I won't press the issue.
12:16My sister's home alone, so I better get going, sir.
12:19It's been an honor.
12:23And thank you for your time.
12:24When I aged past the point, an S-Rank Healer could counteract my decline.
12:32I'd never felt so crestfallen before.
12:37But now...
12:38Clear my schedule for tonight.
12:41I'd like to savor this feeling.
12:44Say, Jing-chou, would you care to join me for a drink or two?
12:47I'll go, but not partake.
12:49If that's alright with you.
12:51Suit yourself.
12:53I wonder if he enjoys a good drink.
12:58The association mostly handles D and E rank dungeons.
13:02Those aren't gonna help me level up.
13:05And mom's cure depends on that.
13:08I'll keep fighting, and I won't stop.
13:11Because I know I can get even stronger.
13:19Deputy Chief, come to rub salt in my wounds?
13:36They're still fresh.
13:38I just have a question I want you to answer.
13:41You've experienced this Ilhan Sung's power.
13:44Is he a beast, or is he actually a human?
13:46Did he look like a human from where you stood?
13:53Sure as hell seemed like a beast to me.
13:57Hmm.
13:58Alright.
13:58Focus on your recovery, then drop by the command center once you're discharged so you can file some paperwork.
14:05What happened to him?
14:06Unsure, but we're on the lookout.
14:08That said, that we'll be able to bring in somebody who landed you in a hospital bed.
14:16Shit!
14:20You'd better stay the hell away from my family.
14:23Because if you try something, even death won't be enough to save you from me.
14:29What a humiliating loss.
14:32Even death won't save me.
14:34Is that his idea of a threat?
14:37I know where he's headed.
14:39I just need gear.
14:40An artifact that will let me crush that bastard!
14:47Artifacts.
14:48Usually some kind of man-made relics.
14:51But in the world of hunters, they're high-level gear that even seasoned craftsmen can't create.
14:57With the increase in hunters, you're going to find artifacts online in auctions like anything else.
15:02Why'd they gotta be so expensive, though?
15:06I want my gear to be flawless when I take on the last floors of the castle.
15:11Nothing in the system shop seems right.
15:15Could probably sell the Sphere of Avarice.
15:17It can be transferred.
15:19Most of the best gear in circulation gives a 20-30% boost in performance.
15:23And since this thing doubles magic damage, it could double its price tag, too.
15:31Which would make one wonder how an E-rank came to have it.
15:34Might catch someone wanted attention.
15:37I'd look less suspicious if I had a record of going in A-rank gates, but...
15:42Till my license gets updated, that won't be happening.
15:46Or...
15:47Maybe it will.
15:50This was taken four years ago?
15:52He looks quite different and a great deal younger.
15:57Think he falsified his rank?
15:59His record states that he's been severely injured on several occasions, so it's unlikely.
16:05Four years of hell, but he didn't give up.
16:08The more I hear, the more amazed I am.
16:11He was paying for his mother's treatment and his younger sister's tuition, it seems.
16:15I suspect that's why he never withdrew from hunting.
16:18You don't often see that kind of devotion from young people these days.
16:21There's a recent note as well.
16:24He'd just signed up to join a raid with the Hunters Guild.
16:28Then what he said was all talk.
16:30That big signing bonus was too enticing.
16:33Not necessarily.
16:35According to the report, he's on the excavation team, sir.
16:38He's mining?
16:39He's mining?
16:40Yes.
16:44Certainly likes to keep you guessing, doesn't he?
16:47You said you're E-rank.
16:48Yes.
16:49You mine before?
16:51Not exclusively.
16:52Ah, combat type.
16:54You'll meet the fitness requirement, no problem.
16:57Well, good.
16:57Got plenty of folks here just like you who joined up.
17:00Relax, work hard, and let's get that bag.
17:03Right.
17:03Big raids in high-ranked dungeons demand specialized teams.
17:09The strike team deals with magic beasts.
17:12The mining team digs up the monocrystals.
17:15And the collection team recovers the carcasses.
17:18Damn, that's a lot of people.
17:20But for the profit, it's somewhere in there right now.
17:26Such a travesty.
17:28They don't seem to appreciate the beauty of light.
17:51Take position, tanks.
17:55There's a storm coming.
17:58Oh, well done, carcass isn't much use, so I tried to cook them to a nice medium.
18:15I believe that took care of most of our immediate enemies.
18:19Let's continue on, shall we?
18:21Oh, and sorry for the burning smell.
18:23I know one of you has an especially sensitive nose.
18:25The strike team's coming out!
18:30They killed everything but the dungeon boss already?
18:33I could sense he was strong the moment we met yesterday.
18:37But for the entire squad to come out unscathed goes to show just how strong.
18:42All right.
18:42After the second in command comes out, that should be everyone.
18:45That's her.
18:49The vice guildmaster of the hunter's guild and the country's ninth S-rank to awaken.
18:55Hey, In-ja, the dancer.
19:00Incredible.
19:01Gotta wonder how many people in the world have a strong aura like that.
19:05I just sensed something incredible.
19:13A strong aura.
19:15Like Chairman Goh was here for a second.
19:18But whatever it was, it's completely gone now.
19:23She's even sharper than I thought.
19:25Okay, people.
19:26We're going in.
19:27No, they rest while we work.
19:31And there's no time limit since the boss was saved for last.
19:35One.
19:36Two.
19:37Hey, Chief.
19:38It's looking loose.
19:44I can sense intense magic power coming from that direction.
19:48It's obviously an A-ranked dungeon boss.
19:53Feels stronger than the castle's Vulcan and Metis, that's for sure.
19:58It's tempting.
20:00I could go find out how tough an A-ranked boss really is.
20:04Did you hear?
20:04The guy who just joined on this job is an E-rank.
20:07E?
20:08You're kidding.
20:09What the hell was the boss thinking?
20:12No matter where an E-rank goes, the welcome never gets any warmer.
20:17Not that I'll be doing this much longer.
20:19Look.
20:19I'm working here, and it's tight enough as it is without idiots like you standing around and blocking the way.
20:24But, please, don't rest.
20:28We're making great time already.
20:29Go deep.
20:31Jeez.
20:33No way that guy's in a rake.
20:36Uh, Chief?
20:38I'm having some doubt about the new recruit's rake.
20:40Yeah?
20:41Isn't he kind of strong for an E?
20:44His IG says otherwise.
20:46The way I see it, Sung here is God's gift for blue-collars like us.
20:53Break time, you guys.
20:55Let's all go get something to eat.
20:57Breaks also apply to you, Mr. Sung.
20:59I'm just gonna finish up here first.
21:01Don't overdo it.
21:02Don't go too far into the caves, or you might wind up at the boss.
21:05You got it.
21:17Finally, they're gone.
21:18Can't let this chance slip by me.
21:21Got an hour till break's over, so...
21:23Let's take a peek.
21:29Here we are.
21:30The boss chamber.
21:31Yeah, that guy's definitely stronger than Mentis.
21:36As much as I want to.
21:38I know I shouldn't kill it.
21:40The gate will close if I do.
21:43And the Hunter's Guild will suffer a massive loss.
21:47But...
21:48A little poke can't hurt.
21:51What exactly do you think you're doing?
21:59I asked you a question.
22:01It shouldn't be that difficult to answer.
22:03It shouldn't be that difficult to answer.
22:31I asked you a question.
22:33Or...
22:42Not...
22:44I don't care.
22:49I'll leave it.
22:52I can't help.
22:53It's a joke.
22:55Goodbye, my weakness.
22:57It's like my world.
22:58The land of the world and I collide.
23:02Look at my heart.
23:03We're going to be the worst.
23:09You don't mind playing this white sound voice.
23:12Cause you know it's just a second year.
23:15Give me all the more.
23:17So you know it's just a second year.
23:26So you know it's just a second year.
