The teacher was worried about her future as she dropped out of school only after discovering her powers. Han Song-Yi is an E-Rank Hunter, the weakest of all, and if she takes on dungeon raids, there’s no guarantee of her coming out alive. Therefore, she asked Sung Jin-woo, the brother of Sung Jinnah, as her sister is a friend of Song-Yi.
Later, the two visited the White Tiger Guild training ground, where they met Sangmin and Hyun Kichul. Sangmin explained the way everything works in the training ground and how they recruited Hunters for their guild. As Sung Jin-woo and Han Song-Yi entered through the E-Rank Gate, the Gate turned Red. As soon as they entered the Gate, Kim Chul, an A-Rank Hunter, became a leader take some of the Hunters with him while the weak were left behind.
The first challenge Sung Jin-woo faced in Episode 1 was a snow bear, which he finished instantly. He understood the situation and asked Han Song-yi and the other Hunters to rest in the camp he had built to his ability while he went alone to deal with the snow bear. He used his Shadow Monarch ability to summon the army of Shadows to defeat the snow bear. Their leader appeared after the shadows killed all the snow bears. Their leader is strong and defeats all the shadows by himself. Sung Jin-woo then sent Igris to fight the leader, whom he killed instantly.
Only at my current level are we equally footing. — Sung Jin-woo
Sung Jin-woo accepted that Igris is more powerful than him at the moment.
