A system message prompts him for a name, and he can’t remember what it was called. Esil correctly observes that Jinwoo is terrible at recalling names. Jinwoo names it Kaisel (he was close; its name was Kaisellin). Esil invites him back to her family’s castle to celebrate, but Jinwoo has no time to waste. He leaves the dungeon with the help of his new skill, Shadow Exchange, which trades his position with a soldier in his shadow army. Preparations At the Hunters Association, Chairman Go and Woo Jinchul continue planning the joint operation for raiding Jeju Island. While the ant beasts take the bait of one group’s magic power, another group will infiltrate the colony to take out the queen. Meanwhile, S-Rank hunter Baek Yoonho is preparing in his own way by catching up with an old friend over drinks. S-Rank healer Min Byung-gu has retired from raiding, in part because of what happened a previous time he was part of an attempted raid on Jeju Island. Byung-gu isn’t interested in going back despite his obvious care for his friend Baek. RELATED: A Monster Guide to the Solo Leveling Magic Beasts (So Far) Jinwoo sits at the side of his mother’s hospital bed. His eyes turn to the burn scars on the side of her neck, and he recalls how he was responsible for them. As a boy, he’d spilled scalding water on her, and she ignored her own pain to comfort him as he sobbed. Jinwoo summons a vial of the Elixir of Life, but he doesn’t know what to expect. He gently props her up, pours the liquid into her mouth with a shaking hand, and waits. Awakening Jinwoo’s mother is bathed in a soft glowing light. The burn scars disappear and a healthy pallor returns to her face. Jinwoo looks down, thinking about how everything he’s gone through has been for this. When the moonlight falls over her bed, Jinwoo gasps. His mom is sitting up, awake for the first time in four years, with a kind smile on her face. She gently asks about his sister, Jinah, and places a hand on his cheek as she notices his wounds. Jinwoo’s emotions finally spill over as she thanks him.

Jinah arrives at the hospital and sobs as she embraces her mom. As Jinwoo watches them, he thinks about how all the pain and hardship have been worth it for this moment. Homecoming Meanwhile, the Hunters Association holds a press conference about the upcoming Jeju Island raid. People around the country, including Min Byung-gu, watch the news. Chairman Go assures the public that this time they’ll complete their mission on the island. Byung-gu remembers their friend Eunseok, who died in the previous raid, saying they were the only ones who could help Baek Yoonho when he needed it. RELATED: What's Your Solo Leveling Hunter Class? Later, Jinah laughs nervously as Jinwoo and their mom survey the mess she made in their apartment while he was away. Their mom smiles and suggests cleaning it up together. While they pick up, Jinah notes they’ve lived there since she was born. While they chat, Jinwoo is glad to have them all together, but he can’t help feeling uneasy about the lines he had to cross to get here. His mom breaks into his thoughts by asking if they’ve heard from their father. They haven’t. She tells Jinwoo and Jinah that he was a firefighter before he was a hunter, and the two are following in his footsteps by working hard to save others one day. Friendly (?) Competition The Hunters Association finally gets in touch with Jinwoo about the upcoming Jeju Island raid. He goes to their headquarters to hear them out, but considers that he doesn’t need to level up any longer now that his mother is well. He’s just about to give his answer when he senses incredible magic power: Baek and another S-Rank hunter are sparring. Chairman Go offers Jinwoo the rare chance to watch. Baek’s fangs and claws are out as he fights; his magic power transforms him into a monster himself when he’s at full power, so he has to hold back so he doesn’t hurt fellow S-Rank hunter Ma Dongwook.

They immediately notice Jinwoo, although they’re not sure if he’s a mage-type or assassin-type. Their leader, Goto Ryuji, proposes an even larger group sparring match for Japan and Korea’s S-Rank hunters to face off. Chairman Go agrees amiably but suggests mage-types sit out. Baek also suggests a free-for-all, and eight hunters total prepare to fight: Baek, Ma, Cha Hae-in and Lim Tae-Gyu from Korea, and Tawata, Kumamoto, Hoshino and Tanaka from Japan.
