◎ [Ranking Battle] Comprehensive Analysis of Korea’s Top 100 Hunters This Year (99+)

Did everyone catch this year’s ranking battle (or as I call it, the national pride festival)?
The whole ranking battle was broadcast with chicken restaurant wait times hitting 120 minutes, which absolutely killed my mood. While everyone else was happily chugging beer, I was here frantically crunching numbers.
First, a total of 16 Korean hunters ranked in this year’s battle—two more than previous years.
Since the ranking battle wrapped up in just five days for the first time, we basically had two days of dead air, right?
Please let us have one or two more days to kill.
Korea remains the country with the most ranked hunters this year as well.
Out of these, Hanttae has a complete monopoly with 9 members. Just thinking about Hanttae makes my heart swell with pride!
This year, Hwa-jon was again voted as the hunter whose combat power is most mysterious—apparently famous for surrendering mid-conversation.

97th Place: Kim Myung-joo (▼2 from last year)
As the master of Ya Myung-joo Workshop specializing in crafting, she ranks highest among our nation’s craftspeople.
Ya Myung-joo Workshop remains Korea’s finest, and even though Kim Myung-joo could step down from the rankings, she keeps showing up consistently—I can’t express how grateful we are to see her in the top 100.
Custom orders at Ya Myung-joo Workshop are already backed up over a year, so try your luck with guerrilla releases or opening day rushes.

29th Place: Sung Mi-ju (▲6 from last year)
Honestly, the hunter with the most female fans among domestic hunters—Sung Mi-ju takes first place.
I have no idea what kind of buffer she’s employing (well, we all know actually lol), but I was shocked seeing her fly around when using skills.
She used to run out of mana and gasp for breath whenever she got a chance, and since she relied on plants, there were so many restrictions. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen a plant that actually devours people.
But this time, watching her fight all the way to the very end, I honestly felt my heart swell with pride.
For the first time since awakening, she’s broken out of the 30s ranking!

14th Place: Joke (▲3 from last year)
I was thinking of mentioning this later, but since we’re on the subject—as you know, Kim Kyung-hoon didn’t participate in this year’s ranking battle.
Since healers are so rare, losing even one throws the entire rankings into chaos. That’s why the healer rankings climbed across the board.
As everyone knows, Joke is Sung Mi-ju’s younger brother. (There must be some reason he uses a pseudonym.)
Anyway, this time, I was unable to overcome the demon Rosaline and lost ㅠㅠ
Seeing that Rosalind is currently ranked 6th, if he’d just beaten her, we’d have three hunters in the top 10—such a shame.
Hopefully he’ll do well next year.
By the way, I’m a Rosalind fan—a total Rosalindian (the Rosalind fan cafe name).

And this is where the real national pride kicks in.
Rank 1: Jung Hwan (No change from last year)
The unshakeable rank 1 Jung Hwan, the Reaper—lots of people know about him.
He’s our country’s and the world’s strongest, the one who dragged down Dante, who we thought would stay there forever.
When Dante came prepared this time, we all gathered at Gwanghwamun to watch, remember? But yeah, no chance, right?
Jung Hwan won, didn’t he?
The Reaper dominates this world, doesn’t he?
Jung Hwan’s the best, right?
The moment we thought that, the broadcast suddenly cut off—you have no idea how shocked we were.
Of course we didn’t know, Hanttae said they didn’t know, the Hunter Association said they didn’t know, and the hunters outside said they didn’t know either.
Normally they don’t show ranker matches, but just cutting it off like that? Where does that happen?
It didn’t air for about thirty minutes, then suddenly the rankings were just announced.

Rank 1: Yeom Ye-ah (Did not compete last year)
Ye-ah suddenly appeared like a comet…
Actually, everyone might have sensed something when she beat Rosalind Brown—that a major player had emerged.
Honestly, there was no sound so I don’t know what song she sang, but a healer who sings? That’s seriously mesmerizing, isn’t it?
The moment the screen turned on, honestly, I saw Yeom Ye-ah (noona) before Jung Hwan.
Her green eyes sparkling, jumping with joy—honestly, I thought she was a goddess.
Now I understand why Hanttae suddenly became so strong.
Why Nike loses: Gods (=Yeom Ye-ah) actually exist.
Oh, this is Nietzsche’s fault, my bad.
└ Hanttae fans who suffered being compared to them all the time, take pride—we’re the country with the world’s rank 1 healer.
Newly created Yeom Ye-ah Fan Cafe—they say the name hasn’t been decided yet (link)
No counterarguments accepted—you Naver Cafe users figure it out yourselves.
qwe*** The taste of national pride, TV—how many rank 1s does your country have? We’ve got two lol.
ewr*** Oh, Nike fans, your Guild Master is rank 3, right? We’ve got two rank 1s hehe.
mij*** Everyone, you must believe in Hwa-jon. Hwa-jon’s compassion, the memory-based swordsmanship learned from the Dang family combined with the ability to wield the volcanic sword, the brilliant strategy learned from the Zhuge family, balanced with the shaman’s equilibrium and the weight of the Jongnams—Hwa-jon is a true sage and warrior, so please join Hwa-jon’s fan cafe.
└ ing*** I heard rumors that Hwa-jon joined Hanttae—is it true?
└ mij*** It’s still being discussed, but there’s talk that he’s forming a party with Ye-ah rather than Hanttae.
kin*** I want to marry Ye A-Jwa. He’s my ideal type for a thousand years, but is he the type that covers up Ye A-Jwa’s hunter specs? ㅠㅠ
└ iej*** I think she does tend to be selective!
klz*** Ye-ah was originally tone-deaf, so everyone around her would pass out, but only Jung Hwan didn’t, so he signed her exclusively—interview (link)
└ onp*** Yeah, I saw it! But now her specs improved so much that doesn’t happen anymore. Actually, everyone in the top 50 entered combat after getting buffed by Ye-ah.
└ 64a*** Honestly, Nike probably tried to recruit her, but she didn’t go—that’s really impressive. So many people have transferred from Hanttae to Nike.
iej*** She said she wants to stay as Jung Hwan’s exclusive healer—she said he saved her and she’s determined to repay that debt. I’m seriously thrilled.
└ 39u*** I support this—let me make a fan club.
└ 5d2*** Hwan-Ye? Jung-Yeom? Jungye?
└ qjk*** Let’s go with Jungye.
But I’m so disappointed that Kim Kyung-hoon didn’t appear, and they’re not even talking about that. He suddenly went missing, they say. Without Kim Kyung-hoon, the Wind Guild is basically nothing. Are they going to disband?
iey*** I still liked Dante and Rosalind though—can’t hunters become close with each other?
89e*** Ah, but how does it feel to be a ranker hunter? You become a popular celebrity in just one day. You make a lot of money, but it must be heavenly. I’m jealous of dogs. What are you thinking about right now?? Especially yesahjwa haha ​​ㅠㅠ
yeh*** Shouldn’t even ranked hunters have the right to be forgotten…
“Ye-ah, put your phone down, please.”
“I’m sorry….”
Only then did I lower my phone at his words. Every time I refreshed, my name appeared in roughly one out of every five posts, making it impossible to set the device down.
The other hunters from Hanttae seemed accustomed to being mentioned like this, maintaining a composed attitude, but I was different.
They didn’t seem to care about being evaluated and discussed themselves—they focused instead on the fact that I’d suddenly become world rank one. Since anything was fine with them, they kept bringing it up.
“No, but this isn’t because I had the talent to rank first—it’s because the Guild Master surrendered….”
“If you hadn’t surrendered simultaneously, I would have lost.”
Whenever I tried to say something, he would unfailingly interject, repeating that because I’d pressed the surrender button at the same time, I’d won a match I couldn’t have otherwise won.
Since he blocked every word I spoke, I couldn’t think of a way to break through this iron defense. Sung Mi-ju and Sung Ji-wook sat before me, their eyes gleaming with admiration.
It had already been thirty minutes.
“I wish the ranking tournament had lasted another week or so….”
After the rankings were decided that day, there was a two-day festival period. It was meant to allow the ranked hunters to rest and adapt to their new positions while strengthening bonds.
In conclusion, so many people came to see me that the people from Hanttae spent those two days protecting me.
Everyone must have found it strange—a rank one that suddenly popped out of nowhere like this.
I also hadn’t expected myself to suddenly become rank one, so there was nothing special I could do about it.
Aside from the people of Hanttae, we decided not to discuss what conversation had passed between us. We would keep the debuff that Jung Hwan-jae was suffering from hidden even from Hanttae.
After the ranking tournament weekend ended, I’d been holed up in the Hanttae Dormitory to avoid the onslaught of interviews. My life could never return to how it was before—for better or worse.
I thought I’d be happy once the ranking tournament ended….
As I made a gesture of dabbing at the corners of my eyes, a window I’d been waiting for appeared before me.
[Liri: Ye-ah! I missed you!]
“Liri!”
