Episode 6

**My Brother's Acting Strange (1)** (Korean: 내 동생이 이상하다, RR: *nae dongsaeng-i isanghada*) is the sixth episode of *The S-Ranks That I Raised* webtoon.

Having reconciled with his brother, Han Yoojin takes some time to assess his new titles and skills, and learns more about Han Yoohyun's experiences during the time they spent apart.

## Summary

The episode opens on Han Yoohyun cooking for Han Yoojin, who sits at his kitchen table. Having reconciled earlier in the day (unlike before the regression, when Yoojin argued with Yoohyun before storming out and ignoring him), they reached an agreement and Yoojin stayed over for dinner. While Yoohyun is distracted with cooking, Yoojin examines his Status Window, wondering about the new skills and titles he's earned.

He's surprised and pleased by the L-rank title Dragon Slayer (earned from killing the Rauchitas), which he didn't expect to have after regressing, and its four supplementary skills—three L-rank resistances against poison, curses, and fear, along with Rauchitas' Natural Enemy, which doubles his skills' strength against dragon opponents. The strength of these skills makes him wonder if he's become the world's strongest Hunter after regressing, and he lapses into a brief daydream about heroically and dramatically saving his brother and other Hunters from an unspecified dragon monster that resembles a single-headed Rauchitas. Excited, Yoojin goes to check his stats, hoping that they've also grown to S-rank or perhaps even L-rank, only to find that they remain F-rank, with not even one breaking the single digits.

Heartbroken at the loss of his 'strongest Hunter' fantasy, he despondently checks his initial skills—Agility and Mentality Up, similar to the skills he had pre-regression, before finally moving to check Perfect Caregiver. He sets aside the renamed Last Repayment, considering it better unused, before checking the other skills: My Brat Is The Best, a growth buff with a powerful effect, and Our Kid Is This Amazing, an all-around ability buff. Once again, Yoojin is excited by the potential of the new skills and the acclaim they could bring him. However, when he goes to check the keyword that both skills require him to say in order to trigger the listed effects, he finds it to be "I love you". He is devastated by this finding, realizing quickly that it must have changed due to telling Yoohyun he loved him upon first regressing, but also quickly realizes that saying "I love you" to just anyone will rapidly get him into trouble if he says it to the wrong person.

He checks the title's last supplementary skill despairingly, only to be pleasantly surprised by Promising Sprout's potential for checking anyone's optimal Awakening rank and triggering an optimized Awakening for others. He is interrupted, however, by Yoohyun serving the completed meal. Yoojin is surprised at how well he can cook, and Yoohyun explains (to his brother's growing dismay) that he had to learn in order to avoid eating meals that had been poisoned or cursed by his opponents, who were disgruntled by the arrogant youth. Yoojin demands to know why Yoohyun never mentioned any of his troubles to him before, and Yoohyun explains that he had to keep him at a distance in order to avoid drawing his opponents' attention to him. He didn't want to burden his brother and didn't think he'd understand Yoohyun's reasoning, but was proven wrong by Yoojin's apology and seeming acceptance of his actions earlier in the day. Distressed but simultaneously warmed, Yoojin begins to fuss over Yoohyun, happy at his decision to regress. Once the meal is over, Yoohyun ensures that Yoojin deletes the contact for the Awakening broker he was going to meet, before preparing to leave. When Yoojin also goes to leave, Yoohyun stops him, explaining to a shocked Yoojin that he's going to live with Yoohyun from now on.

* Yoojin doesn't get time to fully react to Promising Sprout, unlike in the novel, where he thinks over it and is significantly cheered by its usefulness.
* Yoohyun has Yoojin delete the contact for the Awakening broker and tells him they'll live together from now on during their dinner together, instead of during their earlier reunion.
