Solo Leveling season 2 episode 7 recap

Solo Leveling season 2 episode 7, titled The10th S-rank Hunter, commenced with a focus on the Hunter Association where the media roamed around looking for someone. As Baek Yoonho and Choi Jong-In arrived at the sight, the media asked them about Lee Minsung. The two were unaware of this Hunter and kept their attention on Sung Jinwoo's reappraisal.
The episode then focused on Lee Minsung's speech where he pledged to serve the masses after some time as an actor. He was expected to awaken as an A-rank and from the looks of it, the character was desperate for attention. As he was continuing his attention-seeking act, Jinwoo interrupted.

Lee Minsung's guard tried to tell Sung Jinwoo to leave but Go Gunhee arrived and personally escorted the male protagonist inside the Association. Sung Jinwoo's reappraisal began with the protagonist showcasing his summoning ability, followed by an appraisal test. Afterward, Jinwoo finally got his Hunter card and was officially announced as an S-ranked Hunter.
As he was rushing to leave, the media stopped him and broadcasted his face all around the country. The episode then shifted to a shop where Sung Jinwoo had stopped to buy some equipment. After learning about the prices, Jinwoo bought a cloak and a new dagger. The next day, Jinwoo left home and reached the entrance to the Demon Castle with Jinhoo.
Inside the Demon Castle, Jinwoo wreaked havoc with his shadow army. This was also the first time Kargalgan's shadow, Tusk, showcased his powers. The episode ended with Jinwoo intimidating some opponents with his aura as an S-ranked Hunter.
