It was Jang Sung-hoon's idea.
”The new recruits know well what kind of personality the Boss is. It's not possible not to know. It takes a long time to see if you're good, but it takes less than ten seconds to figure out if your personality is dirty.”
He told Kim Tae-hoon needed to show his power to the new faces who had joined the Mac Clan.
”But the new recruits don't know what kind of person the Boss is, and even if you're an Awakener, that's just vague, and the word 'the Awakener' was made by the Boss, right?
”Now is time to fight against monsters, but survive.
”You need to show them what an Awakener is, and what it means to fight a monster with your naked body.
”You have to show them how great you are.”
It was necessary to show them how terrible Kim Tae-hoon the Awakener was now.
”If they see the image of the Boss, they will calculate at that moment, and act as if they have a dirty monster as a boss. At least they not going to put a blood pool around their neck.”
Kim Tae-hoon accepted the idea of Jang Sung-hoon, and he stood in front of the monster with only his bare body, holding only a knife.
And he showed them what the fight between a monster and a monster is, how great a monster he was.

As soon as Kim Tae-hoon and Bang Hyun-wook approached the monsters, the early members of the Mac Clan watched expectantly.
A colleague, a comrade, and a leader who was willing to exercise monster-like violence against monsters!
However, the eyes of the new recruits greeting their first day as members of the Mac Clan were full of fear.
'What the hell is that?' 'These monsters are still alive! Why?'
Kim Tae-hoon and Bang Hyun-wook seemed to be committing suicide to the new recruits who had seen countless humans eaten by the monsters.
In the eyes of Bang Hyun-wook and Kim Tae-hoon, the Horned Pigs were only petty animals.
”I am going to show off all of a sudden.”
It had been riddled with dozens of bullets after colliding with the running vehicle.
Because it was a monster, it still had a fighting spirit and was standing on its legs even with a fatal injury.
The Pigs were no different from corpses that were certain to die in time.
Compared to monsters that were so fierce that they could even go crazy, they were just petty.
Above all, Kim Tae-hoon's abilities were already overwhelming.

His strength had reached 76 through the monopoly of the monster stones.
He was far beyond a human being.
He had surpassed an Olympic medalist, and or even a level at which an Olympic medalist might reach through drugs.
He was superhuman.
In addition, Kim Tae-hoon already had four monster abilities, starting with [Black Skin] and [Howling].
It was already decided who the predator was.
Cue-e-e-e-ek!
Therefore, Kim Tae-hoon did not take much time to deal with the Horned Pig that was squealing loudly.
The moment it screamed and rushed ahead with its horns, he also rushed towards it.
The distance between the Horned Pig and Kim Tae-hoon narrowed quickly, and he immediately caught the horn of the Pig and climbed atop it as if riding a rodeo.
At the same time, he stabbed the knife in his right hand into its neck.
The knife went through the thick hide of the Horned Pig, which had resisted bullets, and all the fat beneath.
The knife was not a great sword, and it was not a relic.
The secret was, of course, Energy.
Kim Tae-hoon was also fully aware of how to use his Energy, as Bang Hyun-wook had realized.
Not only did he activate his body's potential with Energy, but he also knew how to cover his weapon with Energy.
Of course, Kim Tae-hoon's knife, which did not have a high Energy rank behind it, only went in as deep as his little finger.
Cuik, cu-i-i!
There was no doubt it hurt, but it was not enough to cause a fatal injury to it. So Kim Tae-hoon went on to his next move.
He concentrated the power of the Black Orc in his right hand.
Now his right hand turned black, and the area was growing. It used to be a little off his wrist, but now it was reaching up close to his elbows.
Kim Tae-hoon hit the knife's handle with his black fist, like a hammer hitting a nail.
Every time he hit it, the knife went in deeper.
Cuek!!
The cries of the Horned Pig grew more frantic. Naturally, its struggles had intensified. Its body was shaking like a rodeo bull, not a pig.
However, its struggles didn't do much to Kim Tae-hoon, who already has his seat and even held its horns like a handle. Whenever it struggled, he smashed down with his fist.
Pook!
The knife went in deeper and deeper.
Pook!
The blade disappeared.
Pook!
Then the handle began to go in.
Cu-i-i-ik!
A mournful squeal came from the jaws of the Horned Pig, which seemed to feel death coming.
But Kim Tae-hoon did not stop.
Now the knife had entered the mass of flesh and was not visible, but he punched down into that bloody hole.
Pook!
The knife went deeper.
