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