After the cataclysm, the modern world has entered a peaceful era following a period of chaos.

For decades, two fiercely competitive professions topped the global youth career aspiration survey.

Hero or Hunter.

These two jobs have always occupied the unshakeable throne of idolatry.

There are many reasons for this.

One reason is that to even attempt these professions, one must be fortunate enough to experience ‘Awakening.’

There’s also the fact that the average income for these roles is astounding.

Moreover, the perception of the professions of Hero and Hunter is significant.

A Hero is a sword that slays the monster disaster, the shield that protects humanity.

A Hunter is an explorer who fully utilizes their abilities to traverse uncharted lands and discover treasures.

It’s not uncommon for children to chat about real Hero tales when they’re gathered in groups.

This was a result of consistent image-making efforts by the association concerning these professions.

Those who know the reality understand that at the end of the day, they are still just people, results of image-making, yet deep down, everyone harbors a sense of admiration.

Regardless of their rank, becoming a Hero or Hunter brings attention that bears witness to their status.

Though it’s image-making, they weren’t just empty words.

Countless individuals have fought and died against monsters for humanity.

Some achieved remarkable feats and had their names etched in history, while others, though unnamed, undoubtedly sacrificed themselves for humankind.

The Shio-ram is an unparalleled institution among those training such Heroes.

It would indeed be embarrassing for an institution to be compared to one managed by one of the five Towers.

News from such a Shio-ram would garner everyone’s attention, even those not related to the industry.
