Lee Do-yoon was the son of an ordinary kendo dojo. He had held a sword since he was young and lived with it. His father was strong as a martial artist, but he was especially strict with his son.

"Holding a sword means entrusting your life to it."
His father always said that.

But times have changed. Monsters appeared, and awakeners called Hunters were born. In comparison, swordsmanship seemed like an old relic. But Lee Do-yoon wanted to live like his father. No, he wanted to become as strong as his father.

And finally, the day that would change his life came.

Hunter Rank Measurement Center – Seoul

"Next, Mr. Lee Do-yoon."

A cold voice was heard. He walked out slowly. Murmurs were heard around him.

"Is that person a swordsman?"
"I guess there are still people trying to be Hunters with swordsmanship."
"Can a sword beat a monster?"

Lee Do-yoon didn't care. He just walked forward.

"We will begin the awakening test."
The measurer said in a monotonous voice.

The moment he placed his hand on the orb—

Bang!

The measurement orb shattered.

In an instant, the room fell silent.

"……What?"
"Did the measuring device malfunction?"
"That's a reaction I've never seen before?"

The measurer panicked and brought another machine. But the result was the same.

Unable to measure.

"I've never seen a reaction like this before……."
The measurer muttered to himself, seemingly flustered.

"Mr. Lee Do-yoon, if you wish, we can conduct a practical test where you can test your strength directly."

Lee Do-yoon said quietly.
"That would be better."

Practical Test – Monster Elimination Test Site

Lee Do-yoon stood holding his sword. On the opposite side, a huge B-class monster was released.

"……He's facing a B-class monster alone?"
"Is he crazy?"

Someone whispered, but he didn't care.

The monster roared and charged.

At that moment,

Shooooooong—!

The sword took on a blue light and cut through space.

The monster's head was already floating in the air.

Only then did people realize.

The man with the sword was not just a swordsman.

"S-class Hunter."
