S-Rank is the highest rank a hunter can obtain and the highest tier on the hunter ranking hierarchy.
Overview[]
S-Rank Hunters are distinguished by the fact that their mana levels are so high that they cannot be measured by mana meter technology. As the vast majority of hunters never reach that level of power, S-Rank Hunters are very rare amongst the human population, with only a handful per country and a few hundred worldwide. Due to their small numbers and the high demand for their abilities, S-Rank Hunters are highly sought after around the world and are usually very wealthy, with many making enough money to last several lifetimes.
Due to how strong they are, battles between S-Rank Hunters typically cause extensive damage to the surrounding landscapes. Their immense power also makes it nearly impossible to hold them accountable if they break the law and commit crimes, as shown by how Sung Jinwoo never faced criminal charges for murdering Hwang Dongsoo.
However, as their mana levels cannot be measured, there is no power cap on S-Ranks like there is with the lower ranks. As a result, the power gaps between S-Ranks is the highest out of any other rank. Also, unless the power gap between two S-Ranks is very large, it is virtually impossible to accurately compare them in strength. As a result, S-Ranks are ranked internationally by their achievements via a point system established by the Federal Bureau of Hunters, and not by their raw power or mana levels.
There also exists a special class of S-Rank Hunters known as the National Level Hunters. These hunters are said to be beyond S-Rank due to how much more powerful they are compared to the average S-Rank Hunter and possess extraordinary capabilities unique to themselves. They also each have the authority equal to that of an entire nation's, enabling them to live like kings and do whatever they please.
