Solo Leveling season 2 episode 4 recap

Solo Leveling season 2 episode 4, titled I Need To Stop Faking, commenced with where it left off as Sung Jinwoo exited the Demon's Castle. Thinking of raiding higher-level dungeons, the protagonist decided to retake the Hunter Exam as he couldn't continue his fake E-rank status for eternity. So, the next day, Jinwoo visited the Hunter Examination branch.

When he entered the examination room and put his hand on the mana-measuring device, the device showed an error. After some clarification from the examination's director, it was revealed that Jinwoo's powers were far beyond the machine's limits and he could possibly be the 10th S-rank Hunter of the country. His exam was rescheduled for three days later.

On his way out, Jinwoo was scouted to the Hunter's Guild, but he nonchalantly ignored it. The next day, while Jinwoo was leaving his mother's hospital room, he was escorted to Go Gunhee's room. The director of the country's Hunters Association asked the protagonist to join his side and even assured him of a higher position.

However, Jinwoo rejected the offer, and he only wanted to slay beasts. After returning home, Jinwoo looked up the prices of artifacts and was stunned by how expensive these were. However, he needed them to conquer the Demon Castle. So, he joined the raid team of the Hunter's Guild as a miner to keep his identity a secret and ventured into the dungeon to beat an A-rank boss.

Solo Leveling season 2 episode 5: What to expect? (Speculative)

Solo Leveling season 2 episode 5 is titled This is What We Are Trained To Do. As given by the climax of the previous episode's climax, this title might be Jinwoo's answer to Cha Haein who saw him entering a deep part of the dungeon.

Moreover, the next episode might also feature the first face-to-face interaction between Jinwoo and Haein. On the outside, these two might be the only ones who prefer to remain secluded, so will their meeting lead to some unexpected development?
