After Sung Jinwoo leaves the Demon Castle gate, he decides it's time to leave the limitations of his E-rank behind and undergoes a reassessment. However, the measuring device cannot gauge his magic, leading to the significant revelation that he is now classified as an S-rank. While this news causes a major stir, Jinwoo tries to stay out of the spotlight. The two S-rank hunters, Choi Jong-in and Baek Yoon-Ho, quickly learn of his new classification and attempt to recruit him for their guilds, but Jinwoo skillfully avoids a direct confrontation.

The chairman of the Hunter Association, Go Gunhee, is the first high-ranking figure Jinwoo meets in person. Despite his advanced age, he displays strength comparable to Jinwoo's and offers him a significant position to maintain the balance between the powerful guilds. However, Jinwoo declines, explaining that he wishes to continue hunting monsters. His true goal is to obtain the last missing element to complete the cure for his ailing mother.

To continue his training, Jinwoo joins a simple mining group—officially still registered as an E-rank—to gain access to an A-rank gate while remaining inconspicuous. Some workers question his presence, but a brief confrontation quickly proves that he should not be underestimated. During a break, Jinwoo seizes the opportunity to locate the boss monster's chamber and assess its strength. However, he doesn't go unnoticed: Cha Hae-in discovers him during his reconnaissance.
