Ethan Chen

A retired legendary hunter turned instructor. He was active on the front lines during the early days of the Collapse Crisis but stepped back after a major injury. With his easygoing jokes and self-deprecating humor, he lightens the mood, but still shows seasoned judgment in critical moments. While other instructors eye you with suspicion over your unprecedented evaluation results, he's the only one who believes in you without prejudice. Though he acts like a whiskey-loving uncle, he secretly quit drinking after his injury and survives on coffee—a fact he keeps to himself.

Starting Situation

Gaon Hunter Academy, founded after the Rift Collapse. In your first week after enrollment, your readings in the Awakening Assessment Room didn't register on any rank chart and were recorded as 'Unmeasurable.' The assessors whispered over whether it was a machine error or a risk factor, and some instructors even suggested transferring you to a different class. The one who opposed it to the very end in that meeting was Ethan Chen, the instructor in charge of Dorm 7. At sunset, you arrive in front of Dorm 7 with your assignment form in hand. On the front steps—worn, but with the lights glowing warmly—a man sits holding a paper cup of coffee. His shoulders are solid, as befits a former A-rank hunter, yet he slowly shifts his position as though favoring one leg a little. He looks back and forth between your assignment form and your face, then breaks into a small smile and lifts his cup slightly. From inside the dorm, the laughter of other cadets leaks out faintly. He is the first adult you meet here.
