One of reporters notices that the presidents of the two guilds Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoonho come to the scene in Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 7. Baek Yoonho is surprised that there’re many reporters at the hunters association. The reporters ask him if he came to get Lee Minsung.
Baek Yoonho explains it to the reporters that he didn’t come for Lee Minsung. He has something more important. Choi Jong-In heard that Lee Minsung signed contract with Fiend Guild. So he doesn’t care for the guy. The reporters leave.
Baek Yoonho intends to mention Choi Jong-In’s guild that they suffered in the A-Rank dungeon. It makes Choi Jong-In unhappy. The two have a fight. They have an explicit goal which is getting the S-Rank hunter Sung Jinwoo. Lim Tae-Gyu shows up. He witnesses the argument of Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoonho. He mistakes that they’re fighting for Lee Minsung. But the two aren’t interested in the guy. Sung Jinwoo arrives. He sees many people there.
Meanwhile, the students are paying attention to the live streaming of Lee Minsung. Only Sung Jinah isn’t interested in it. Lee Minsung gives an inspiring speech. He claims that he’s going to complete the mission heaven gave him. He plans to give up his actor career and become a hunter. The speech causes a sensation.
But Lee Minsung actually got the judgement of A-Rank hunter. He signed two-year contract with Fiend Guild. He can return to show business after people forget the bad things he did. He pays attention to the hero who’s blocked by the bodyguard. The bodyguard is very stupid. He disallows Sung Jinwoo to get into the hunters association.
Lee Minsung mistakes that Sung Jinwoo came to bring trouble as well. He tries to walk forward for stopping the guy. But Go Gunhee interrupts them. He claims that Sung Jinwoo is his guest. He disallows Lee Minsung to hold a press conference. He takes Sung Jinwoo into the hunters association.
Lee Minsung gets angry. He wonders who was the one who ruined his plan. He tries to follow Sung Jinwoo. But he’s blocked by Woo Jinchul. Lee Minsung tries to use his reputation to stun Woo Jinchul. But Woo Jinchul glares at the guy.
Sung Jinwoo walks into the hunters association. He sees Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoonho who have waited for him for a long time. They wish to know Sung Jinwoo’s strength. The test begins. The evaluator asks Sung Jinwoo what kind of power he can use.
Sung Jinwoo lifts his hand and he summons a shadow soldier. Go Gunhee knows the guy didn’t show his full strength. Because Woo Jinchul has reported to him about what Sung Jinwoo did in the dungeon. Sung Jinwoo summons his shadow army.
Go Gunhee is stunned after he saw the shadow army. Choi Jong-In doesn’t expect that Sung Jinwoo has such a huge amount of magic. Baek Yoonho thinks he’s not the rival of Sung Jinwoo. He learns that it’s the guy’s power of terror.
Sung Jinwoo gets his S-Rank license. He plans to sell his Orb of Avarice. He thinks he can take down Demon Castle with the money. He tries to leave. But Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoonho stops him. They came to get him. But Sung Jinwoo ignores them. He leaves with an excuse that he’s very busy.
But he’s shocked when he opens the door. The reporters surround him. He makes a headline that he became the tenth S-Rank hunter. Han Song-Yi sees the news. She shows it to Sung Jinah. Sung Jinah doesn’t expect that her older brother is a S-Rank hunter. The miners talk about Sung Jinwoo as well.
The reporters abandon Lee Minsung. They only care for our hero. Baek Yoonho tries to help Sung Jinwoo get rid of the reporters. But Sung Jinwoo disappears in front of Baek Yoonho. He shows up again when he’s far away from the crowd. Choi Jong-In sighs that Sung Jinwoo has a fast speed as a mage. Baek Yoonho is shocked. He didn’t see Sung Jinwoo’s action clearly.
Yoo Jinho visits his father. He reveals Sung Jinwoo planned to start a guild and he invited him. Yoo Myunghan is serious. He mentions Yoo Jinho asked him to give him a chance. But he plans to give up everything and leave with someone else. He’s disappointed in his son. Yoo Jinho remembers what happened to him and Sung Jinwoo. Sung Jinwoo is his older brother in his heart. He decides to rely on his older brother. He will join Sung Jinwoo no matter what happens.
Sung Jinwoo goes to the Hunters Auction to buy equipment. He wishes to get an equipment which can resist the dungeon’s heat. The custodian recommends a cape and a ring for him. But Sung Jinwoo is shocked after he saw the price. He’s surprised that the item is very expensive. He cannot afford it.
Sung Jinwoo tries to haggle. But the custodian rejects it. He claims that he can give the item to Sung Jinwoo if Sung Jinwoo can break the glass. Because the glass was enhanced by magic. Sung Jinwoo is very happy after he was told the good thing. He begins to prepare his strength for getting the item for free.
Fortunately, the custodian stops Sung Jinwoo in time. The store would be ruined if Sung Jinwoo took action. Sung Jinwoo takes a look at a knife then. The price is very high as well. He thinks the knife’s strength is average. He takes out the knife he bought from the system shop. He doesn’t expect that the knife is worth one billion. You know it’s only worth 2.8 million gold in the system shop. He thinks he can get rich by reselling items in the system shop.
Baek Yoonho is in his office in the evening. He remembers the moment when Sung Jinwoo disappeared. He can see someone else’s magic level after he uses his skill. He saw Sung Jinwoo’s magic when he was at Red Gate. He thinks the guy completed second awakening. But the guy got stronger a lot. It means that our hero can grow constantly.
The next day, Sung Jinah looks outside through the window. The reporters left in the end. Sung Jinah’s life got effected because of her older brother’s case. She needs to be careful when she goes to her school. She worries that she will be interviewed.
Someone rings the doorbell. Sung Jinwoo mistakes that it’s a reporter. He opens the door and he sees Yoo Jinho. Yoo Jinho gave up his family guild and he chose to join Sung Jinwoo’s guild. Sung Jinwoo tells his younger sister that he will go on a business trip for one week. He asks Yoo Jinho to help him cover up so that his younger sister is fooled.
Sung Jinwoo looks at Sung Jinah who falls asleep. He summons some orc bodyguards for protect his younger sister. He remembers there were four bodyguards. But he only summoned three bodyguards. The soldier points at the ceiling. Sung Jinwoo remembers he hit one to the ceiling. He forgot to extract the shadow.
An ant flies to the mainland. There’re two hunters find the magic beast who only appeared in dungeons. Yoo Jinho drives the car and he takes Sung Jinwoo away. Sung Jinwoo feels sorry for Yoo Jinho running away from home. But Yoo Jinho claims that it was his decision. He wonders what Sung Jinwoo is going to do. He’s shocked after knowing the guy wants to go to training. He wonders why Sung Jinwoo wants to get stronger since he has been a S-Rank hunter. Sung Jinwoo won’t give up because it’s just a breaking point of his life. He wants to continue to level up alone.
Sung Jinwoo goes to Demon Castle. He plans to raid Demon Castle again. He receives the mission statement that he needs to get rid of the demon king Baran. He will get a new skill Shadow Exchange if he kills the demon king. Sung Jinwoo is excited. He goes to the 76th floor he raided last time.
He’s surrounded by magic beasts. He summons Tusk for testing Orb of Avarice’s magic. Tusk kills the boss on the floor in Orb of Avarice’s help. Sung Jinwoo is shocked after he witnessed. He splits the soldiers into six squads for increasing efficiency. He asks the squads to kill the enemies and find the license. Although he cannot get items except license, it increases the raid speed.
But the raid speed slows down after he reached the 80th floor. His magic is reducing. It means that his shadow soldiers are killed. He finds out that the enemies avoided Tusk’s squad and they attacked Squad B. It means that the enemies are very smart. Sung Jinwoo figures out the enemies’ next target. He waits for them.
