Shin Dong-hoon’s ability was instant acceleration, graded at A-rank.

He could move at extreme speeds while holding his breath—but I had yet to see him actually use it.

‘And the people with him aren’t ordinary either.’

Three B-rank Awakened and six C-rank Awakened.

A complete elite squad.

This group had been personally formed by Commander Lee Hak-gi and had significant experience in monster hunting—enough to successfully clear an Orc Dungeon in record time.

‘And Shin Dong-hoon is already level 37.’

At that level, he was among the highest-ranked citizens, aside from my retainers.

Citizens had an EXP buff that accelerated their growth.

For promising individuals, I had even manually increased their EXP gain, making it three to four times faster than normal.

But Shin Dong-hoon had surpassed that advantage and reached an even higher level.

Which could only mean one thing.

‘He’s been hunting high-level monsters.’

His combat record since obtaining citizenship was exceptional.

‘He’s well-regarded among his team, and he seems like a solid guy.’

That was more than enough for me.

‘I should offer him a spot as a retainer.’

I was also considering recruiting Lee Jun-ho, Park Seong-jun, and Kim Ki-tae, the three B-rank Awakened in his squad.

Recently, after upgrading Dignified Leadership, my retainer limit increased by 100, leaving plenty of room.

‘But this Hunter profession…’

Becoming a Hunter was actually incredibly simple.@@novelbin@@

I just had to assign a profession quest, and for Hunters, the condition was killing 30 monsters.

Even 30 goblins would do.

And since I could issue firearms, clearing the Hunter profession quest was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

‘If they really want it, I can grant it…’
