Due to his test, everything was ready, as everyone had been waiting for him, so Min-Jun also quickly did his test. The first test would be testing his mana, to test the amount of his mana, which was something that determined the rank of the hunters.
Standing in front of the high-precision mana measuring device, Min-Jun listened to the explanation of the staff.
"Hunter-nim, please put all of your mana on that device. If the machine short-circuits or turns black, then you will officially become an S-Rank Hunter."
"..."
Min-Jun looked at the staff members strangely as they asked him to destroy the high-precision mana measuring device, which was expensive, to test whether he was the S-Rank Hunter or not.
"He is about to pour his mana there."
"Let's see how strong his mana truly is."
"He is still young. I don't think that he will do well."
Those voices didn't come from the staff of the Korean Hunter Association, but instead came from the representatives of various guilds, who Min-Jun permitted to enter to see his test. Instead of refusing and keeping everything a secret, Min-Jun let them watch, which showed his confidence and deep thought to market his value, so that each of them would give him the best of the best contract to sign him to their guilds.
Min-Jin's plan didn't change, and he had always wanted to be part of the powerful guild, as it would give him convenience.
Being a single fighter, a one-man army like Jin-Woo might be good, but to enter the dungeons, sell the items gained from the guild, and all of the other things, it was so troublesome.
If he joined a guild, the best one, the guild would give him the best lawyer, accountant, and all other things necessary. All he had to do was hunt, enter the dungeon, and when he finished, he would get liquid cash without any baggage of problems.
Also, Jin-Woo was lucky enough to get various equipment from the system; Min-Jun, who didn't have the system, couldn't acquire equipment or weapons, as they weren't cheap, and, more importantly, he had no connections to get them.
With his status as an S-Rank Hunter, there was a chance for people to give him for free, but since he didn't pay in money, he would pay in a favor, and in this world, paying with a favor was the most expensive thing.
Regardless, let's show them what he can do.
Manager, are you ready?
[Affirmative.]
Still, as Min-Jun placed his palm on the crystal, Choi Jong-In spoke quietly to Cha Hae-In, "Vice Master. Your assessment?"
As Jong-In moved closer in, Hae-In held her handkerchief tighter over her nose, but even so, she couldn't look away from Min-Jun, especially when she thought of that refreshing scent that she thought she had lost after she was awakened as the S-Rank Hunter. It was something she was addicted to, and she wanted to smell his scent once again, yet even so, when she was asked by such a serious question by her guildmaster, naturally, she answered, "He... he has no limit, Guild Master. And his mana... It's completely clean. He is different from all of us here."
Within her world, all of the hunters smelled like rotting blood; it was disgusting, yet Min-Jun was different. For the first time, she could take a deep breath without the disgusting smell that had always haunted her, which made her wish to get close to him as soon as possible.
"I see..." Jong-In pushed the frame of his glasses and had made up his mind to sign up Min-Jun no matter what, since, instead of the machine, he trusted Hae-In's nose more than the Association's machine.
Yet, while every guild master had their own thoughts regarding Kim Min-Jun, Gu Gun-hee had a solemn expression as he glanced at everyone, making them all quiet instantly, before he focused on Min-Jun again.
"Chairman, should we send all of them out?"
Woo Jinchul felt that it was too risky if the representatives of the major guilds in Korea saw Min-Jun's test results, as he was afraid that Min-Jun's test results would make all of those major guilds do their best to get Min-Jun into their guild, such as offering money, weapons, equipment, and other privileges that came with it.
South Korea was in dire need of a hero, one who could lead the country out of the crisis.
The one who would become the pillar, who would hold the sky, as Korea was in danger.
Kim Min-Jun was that candidate, and Jinchul didn't want those dirty, pesky guilds to corrupt Min-Jun with their money, privileges, and all other vulgar things.
"No, it's fine. This is his wish. And, even if he joins a guild, it is good that he joins the guild in South Korea instead of leaving the country."
No matter what, it was better for Min-Jun to join the local guild.
"Also, we can offer this young man something much better than wealth and all those material things."
Still, Gun-Hee had his own confidence, since, compared to the guild, the Korean Hunters Association could offer something even better than wealth, money, and fame. It was something that those guilds, who thought that they were everything with money, lost to their Association. He believed that no matter how much those guilds would try to sway him, it was impossible to recruit Min-Jun, as no young man in their 20s could resist the desire to protect their country like a hero.
Min-Jun wasn't sure what everyone thought of him, but he knew they either loved him or hated him, since that was human nature. Still, as he had requested, instead of destroying the machine by overloading it with his mana, he let the Manager help him to fine-tune his mana, so instead of turning pitch black, the digital display screens around the arena—which are supposed to show numbers—glitch and spell out a single word calculated by the Manager.
[ LIMITLESS ].
"..."
Those words were displayed on the screens, seen by everyone, and they were at a loss, unsure what to say.
The room went dead silent, and the technicians were terrified, but Min-Jun looked at the area where Gun-hee was with a polite smile as if he had done nothing.
"Should we continue with the rest of the test, Chairman?"
"...."
Gunhee grinned happily. "Let's go."

Still, whose team are you on?
Sung Jinah or Cha Hae-In?
Who do you support?
Or, should I add more, such as Lee Joohee, Kanae Tawata, or someone else?
