(This extra chapter is brought to you by these heroic defenders of humanity: Jan B, Keneth P, Tevin T, Jona D, Valentino W, and Arvin S Thank you for your donations!!)

Two days later, Kim Sae-Jin headed to the local post office in the afternoon to collect the money for the sabre he submitted to the Blacks up proudly but then decided to go while wearing a hood and a robe He figured that if his identity was discovered, it would cause quite a bit of inconvenience for him After all, the method he used to craft his weapons was definitely out of co he could show to other people

"Yes The confirmation… has been completed"

As soon as Sae-Jin entered the correct identification password, the post office worker behind the counter handed over a tightly sealed box Even during all that, the worker tried his best to take a peek at Sae-Jin’s face without getting noticed Most likely because of the word ‘ORK’ written on the box

Since he found the actions of the worker bothersome, Sae-Jin hastily escaped the post office and returned home

"A letter?"

After sitting down on the sofa and opening the sealed box, he found that there was only a single envelope stored inside

"…Urk?"

Inside the envelope, he found a cheque with enough zeroes to make him mutter out in shock, as well as a letter written with sincerity and care (TL: unfortunately, the pun here is lost during translation "Urk" actually serves two distinct purposes here, one of shocked proclamation, as well as a term to denote a certain amount of money in Korea 1 "Urk" Won = around 88000 US)

It was a sincerely written letter fro what he should do about this complication of fate

‘It sure would be nice if I had a sht, while his gaze alternated between the letter and the cheque

The difference between the Mid Tier and an upper Mid Tier

There was seeap between the tas actually enormous The best example was the upper Mid Tier Monsters As they possessed so called the ‘special abilities’, the creatures ranked upper Mid Tier, on average, were 20 tie

And that hy, for both the Knight and the Hunters, they had to fulfil a specific and difficult criteria compared to before in order to rank up to upper Mid Tier

"Fro upwards, a Hunter must co to a Society, as well as have a recohts Order"

At the Monster Store, the clerk handed over a sheet of paper and spoke

2 nd place: Ki-Yi, 3219 points

…

332 nd place: Kim Sae-Jin, 989 points

"Oh, and when you’ve beco in the Leaderboard will be accessible to the public like the one for the Knights"

"…I understand"

Sae-Jin nodded his head while looking sohtly, too He came here to sell off the Monsterin without a proh?"

But, when he saw that his placing was only 332 nd , his coan to rise up inside

"Eh? Oh… That’s plenty high enough, actually The nu-Hahn is a veteran of thirteen years, and the 2 nd place Mister Kiht years as a Hunter But Mister Sae-Jin has been a Hunter for only half a year, so it’s re~ally a high position, honestly speaking"

"Okay, fine But why is there ain front of my name?"

"That’s to denote a ‘rookie’ It’s to mark a person who hasn’t been a Hunter forMister Sae-Jin, you, there are only two such persons within the ranks of the Mid Tiers"

Sae-Jin scratched his chin and agonised a little

"What’s a ‘Society’? Is that like being affiliated with a Knights Order?"

"No, it’s not It’ll be easier to think of it as a gathering of people, who can hunt together, and enjoy a ether afterwards You can form one with anyone, really, and not just with other Hunters; and there are no strict procedures to follow, either All you need is the agreeistration form?"

"Hmm… What’s thethe person registering, three The maximum is 30"

Two others… He could think of a couple of people

Actually, he only kneo people personally, and that was the extent of his personal connections

Hazeline and Yu Sae-Jung

Now that he thought about it, even though the nu about, the quality of those connections was just too da

"…So, in order to advance to the upper Mid Tier, you are saying that I ht?"

"Yes It’s one of the prerequisites Having a recoood as well"

"Alright I understand"

He took the Society registration forht pouring down, Hazeline personally came to visit Sae-Jin in his hoetic s into half moon shapes

"This is a nice house"

"Yes, well…"

"Please take a seat first Lemme have a look at the curse"

She sat down first on the couch and patted the spot next to her vigorously while calling for Sae-Jin

"Ah, yeah"

Sae-Jin sat down promptly next to her, and rolled up the sleeve of his left arm The arm dyed in black, thanks to the curse, was revealed to her eyes

"It’s pretty serious No wonder the other Wizard guy ran off after seeing this"
