Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 99

In the hunter world, it’s a fundamental principle never to reveal all your abilities to your opponent. Even in places like South Korea, where all skills must be registered, top-tier rankers always secretly keep one or two trump cards hidden.

Yet, out of nowhere, the Sage told me exactly what his skill was—not some useless ability, but something that clearly appeared incredibly powerful at first glance.
