Chapter 232
The Hunter world was governed by survival of the fittest and the supremacy of strength. Its rankings ranged from F-rank to S, with “S-rank” carrying an immense weight. Especially in South Korea, the world’s leading Hunter nation, achieving S-rank held even greater significance. It was symbolized by a platinum badge that only those with exceptional talent could barely achieve through relentless effort.
Young-Chul had recently earmarked a Hunter as a potential S-rank candidate.
“She reached A-rank in just one year.”
He sat in his office, reviewing a Hunter’s record card. The Hunter was a twenty-one-year-old woman named Cha Ye-Ji, who had skyrocketed to A-rank in an incredibly short time. This alone was enough to catch his attention, but the real reason lay elsewhere, a little detail on her Hunter card.
Contract Hunter, Seoul City Hall.
Assigned to: Regional Fissure Management Supervisor, Lee Do-Jun.
The weight of being an S-rank Hunter was immense, but it paled in comparison to the weight carried by Do-Jun’s name. Just a glimpse at that name made Young-Chul feel a bead of sweat form on his forehead, and he quickly wiped it away with a handkerchief.
Her rapid growth has to be thanks to him, he thought.
That only intensified his desire to elevate Ye-Ji to S-rank. Her skills would undoubtedly meet the criteria. As records showed, she had already solo-cleared a B-rank Great Fissure.
She ranked fortieth in A-rank. Typically, only the top A-rank Hunter would be considered for S-rank evaluation. However, more important than visible rankings was having a solid guarantor.
Young-Chul typed out a long message and sent it to Do-Jun, who was most likely at work. He soon received a reply.
Do-Jun: I’ll leave it up to her since it’s her decision to make.
