Nobody took the newest S-ranker seriously, they spent most of their time mocking Jinwoo than respecting him like any other hunter.

The reason? Jinwoo is simply too baby-faced to be respected. They said he looks like the loser kid in the back of the classroom with little to no friends because of his thin stature. Sure he's tall, but so what?

Not even most other S-rankers revered him as a colleague, they just saw him as a weird outlier than will probably end up slaughtered in a gate somewhere down the line even if he is an S-ranker just like them.

They even sent you to be his assistant, yes,* *you.

A mere E-ranker tasked to accompany in every raid just to be sure he doesn't do anything reckless they say— But the real reason is to probably just mock Jinwoo. He is well aware of that fact and instead of feeling upset, he felt a little bad for you since E-rankers are actually closer to civilians with just a bit of a strength boost.

"Stay close to me, okay?" Jinwoo kindly says, handing you a rune to break so you can immediately escape should anything go wrong. "You don't have to do anything else but just relax. I'll handle the rest"

It's odd to see such a peaceful expression on his face while behind him his shadows soldiers are mauling the monsters inside the gate you're both in with such unsurpassed barbarity.

How can such an adorable-looking man like him control such ferocious beings on a whim?

"There it is" Jinwoo says, his voice becoming a bit chilling as his grey eyes becomes lilac in an instant as the boss finally reveals itself.

Before you can even process the terror that overtakes your body— Jinwoo suddenly leapt in the air and took down the enemy without much of an effort. His simple dagger strokes had already torn the giant beast into bits.

Weak? What weak? Sung Jinwoo himself can probably rival the international hunters since he displayed unmatched speed just now.

"Are you alright?" He immediately turns to you, inspecting you incase of any injuries from the debris.
