Episode 27

**Negotiations With The 5 Major Guilds** (Korean: 5대 길드 협상, RR: *o-dae gildeu hyeopsang*) is the twenty-seventh episode of *The S-Ranks That I Raised* webtoon.

After getting Peace set up inside his house, Han Yoojin meets with the leaders of the biggest Korean Hunter groups to discuss his monster rearing ability.

## Summary

Yoojin and Peace look on proudly at the large pen built inside Yoojin's dorm for Peace's residence. Yerim and Myeongwoo meet Peace for the first time, respectively excited and wary. Yoohyun enters during the commotion of their first meeting, asking if Yoojin is busy. When Yoojin follows him, he reveals that a number of major guilds' leaders, as well as the Hunter Association president, are coming to meet Yoojin. Yoojin is shocked at the abrupt announcement, but rallies himself and heads to the meeting room, scolding Yoohyun when he offers to turn them away.

Yoojin feels pressured as soon as he enters the meeting room, coming face to face with the multiple S-ranks. An appraiser approaches him wanting to check his skills while Yoohyun is introducing him; however, Yoojin swats him away with a hasty excuse, worried that his L-rank and S-rank skills will be revealed by the appraisal skill. He's saved by Peace, who snarls at the appraiser; the guild leaders are intrigued by the Flame Lion cub's ability and dismiss the appraiser. Moon Hyuna offers Yoojin a seat, bantering casually with him and bargaining for the beast with Yoohyun. Yoohyun's offer of an exchange for a different monster is met with scorn by MKC Guild's Choi Sukwon, who calls him out for monopolizing potential kiseungsu and Yoojin for essentially being affiliated with Haeyeon.

Yoojin counters his points, however, stating that he's already giving those present preferential treatment, and Choi Sukwon backs off. Pleased by his silver tongue, Moon Hyuna asks him to come join her in Breaker Guild. Yoojin pulls away, stating he'll only go to the best guild in the country, and Seseong Guild's Sung Hyunjae asks if their current position as number one means Yoojin would join him. Flustered, Yoojin says that anyone other than his brother would have to be the best in the world, and Moon Huyna begins laughing, saying his stubborn intent to remain independent is just like his brother's. While Yoojin grumbles internally about how overbearing all the S-ranks are, Hanshin Guild's Bak Mingyu laughs that Yoohyun and Yoojin really are alike, though Yoojin is more easygoing. Confused, Yoojin lightly says that Yoohyun is better behaved than him, only for the whole room to fall into a stunned silence, while Yoojin wonders what he said wrong.

## Novel & webtoon differences

* Peace's pen is installed in Yoojin's house and Peace meets Yerim and Myeongwoo after Yoojin tells Yoohyun about the magic beast rearing skill, while in the novel, these events happen even before Myeongwoo has moved into Yoojin's house and Yoojin keywords Kim Sunghan.
* Yoojin worries about the appraisal skill potentially revealing his L- and S-rank skills. In the novel, however, he's aware that the A-rank skill cannot reveal his higher-ranked skills, and instead worries that the skills he's claimed as being C-rank (F-rank in the webtoon) will *not* be discovered, leading Yoohyun to realize that Yoojin lied to him about its rank (though Yoojin's fretting causes Yoohyun to find out anyway).
* Seok Simyeong doesn't speak to Yoojin before the meeting to give him tips about interacting with the guild leaders, as he does in the novel. There is also no mention of Hanshin Guild being a late addition to the meeting roster.
* Since Yoojin doesn't seem to know how appraisal skills work, he prevents the appraiser from using his skill on him. In the novel, having confirmed that his skills will stay secret, Yoojin allows him to use the skill twice.
* Moon Hyuna offers Yoojin a chair at the start of the conversation, rather than after Choi Sukwon has complained about Haeyeon monopolizing baby monsters.
* Choi Sukwon speaks casually to Yoohyun instead of formally as in the novel, and is more directly confrontational; while he settles down on his own in the novel, Yoojin has to counter his arguments in the webtoon for him to back down.
* Instead of Moon Hyuna, Sung Hyunjae is the one to ask if Yoojin's exception to being for sale applies to Seseong. Moon Hyuna's novel line about Yoojin being more polite than his brother is in turn given to Bak Mingyu.
