Spoiler Alert: Stop right there! This page contains spoilers from the novel. Read at your own risk.

S-Rank is the 6th Rank of Hunters and the Second highest Rank that any Hunter can get, below National Level Hunters.

Overview

S-Rank Hunters are powerful Hunters whose Magic Power/Mana cannot be measured by a Magic Power Detector.

In Korea, S-Rank hunters are strongly sought for their abilities and that is why the top 5 guilds of South Korea are filled with S-Rank hunters. So far, only the Hunters Guild were able to acquire 2 S-Rank hunters in their guild.

In China, Hunters are not measured by Ranks but rather Stars. For example, Liu Zhigang, a Chinese National Level Hunter is 7-Stars.

S-Rank and Above

See: Special Authority Hunters

S-Ranks often had a gap of power because there is not yet a way to measure Hunters who are S-Rank, SS-Rank, or SSS-Rank. Therefore there could be Hunters who were SSS-Ranks but still labeled as regular S-Ranks.

After S-Rank came National Level Hunters.

South Korea S-Rank Hunters

There are 10 S-Rank Hunters in South Korea. Cha Hae-In is the ninth S-Rank Hunter and Sung Jin-Woo is the tenth. Eun-Suk died in the third Jeju Island Raid and Hwang Dong-Su defected to America. Sung Il-Hwan was unofficially considered as an S-Rank because of his proof of strength to be able to defeat Hwang Dong-Su easily and his other amazing feats will be shown in the later chapter.
