Episode 17

My Person (2) is the seventeenth episode of The S-Ranks That I Raised webtoon.

Kim Sunghan and Han Yoojin take care of Hope Resources Guild.

Summary
The underwhelmed Hope Resources Guild members move to attack Kim Sunghan, who effortlessly punches them away. He greets Han Yoojin, who's explaining to Yoo Myeongwoo that he'd had Kim Sunghan on call as far back as the van that picked them up, narrating their journey so that he'd be able to find them. Kim Sunghan continues fighting off the guild members, even taking no damage from a knife stab and scolding the attacker for trying to use a weak weapon against an A-rank. With this clue, the guild members are able to recognize him as Kim Sunghan of Haeyeon Guild, and kneel submissively, frightened.

Having summarily ended the battle, Kim Sunghan checks that the F-ranks are okay and turns matters over to Yoojin. He offers the Hope Resources Guild members an S-rank contract to sign, with conditions similar to a mine worker's contract but much more severe. They protest and argue that the dozens of contracted F-rank slaves signed their contracts of their own accord, so they shouldn't be held liable for any injuries or deaths, Yoojin cuts them off harshly. Kim Sunghan and Yoo Myeongwoo watch, wide eyed, as he tells them that F-ranks are still human and not expendable. He rejects their attempts at begging for mercy, and has Kim Sunghan deliver them to the Hunter Association before driving him and Myeongwoo home.

On the way back, while Sunghan makes a report about the evening's events, a teary Myeongwoo thanks Yoojin for coming to save him, calling him his hero, much to Yoojin's discomfort. They reach the guild building, and Yoojin obtains a room in the A-rank dorms by harassing Seok Simyeong and leveraging his rights as Bak Yerim's guardian. Myeongwoo stays with him, happy to live with him during novice Hunter training, and Yoojin explains that he can stay on for as long as he wants if he masquerades as a housekeeper for Yoojin, doing the cooking. Myeongwoo, once again overwhelmed by his kindness, agrees. Once he goes to sleep, Yoojin takes the opportunity to move his things from Yoohyun's house to his new dorm room. Unfortunately, he's stopped short by Kim Sunghan, who's waiting outside his door, wanting to talk to him.

Novel & webtoon differences

 * Rather than having Kim Sunghan come with him to Hope Resources Guild and wait outside until he could enter and take down the guild members, as in the novel, Yoojin went with Hope Resources on his own, then called Kim Sunghan to follow afterwards and break in when he caught up.
 * Unlike in the novel, Kim Sunghan isn't recognized immediately, and fends off some punches, kicks, and one knife stab before ordering the Hope Resources members to kneel.
 * In the novel, Yoojin uses his remaining S-rank contract to get a record of the guild members' skills, then modifies the guilds' own pre-written slave contracts for them to sign. In the webtoon, however, he uses the S-rank contract itself as a mine worker contract.
 * In the webtoon, all guild members appear to be present during Kim Sunghan's attack and the subsequent signing. In the novel, however, Kim Deoksu takes the lead in both scenes, and the C-rank guild leader along with 5 D-ranks only arrive later.
 * In the novel, Yoojin and Sunghan discuss the pros and cons of having the guild members contracted to Haeyeon Guild versus to the Association. In the webtoon, they simply deliver the contracts directly to the Hunter Association without deliberating between their choices.
 * Rather than negotiating lodgings at Haeyeon during Yerim's initial contract negotiations, Yoojin gets a dorm room at Haeyeon after rescuing Myeongwoo.
 * In the novel, Kim Sunghan had a discussion with Han Yoojin immediately after arriving back at Haeyeon Guild. However, in the webtoon, he lets him and Myeongwoo head upstairs uninterrupted, then asks to speak to him only once matters have been settled.
