Cha Hae-In the ninth S-Rank hunter in Korea. She stands out when the female hunters are scarce. She uses her strength to prove that she deserves to be chosen. Solo Leveling describes her as a powerful hunter. The ability she’s proud of it is her speed. Her high speed promotes her to give her enemies a mortal strike because they discover her. She showed the skill when she fought Ant Queen. The evil creature created many ants who ate many humans. Cha Hae-In gave Ant Queen a lesson.
Cha Hae-in was invincible when she fought Ant Queen and the ants the queen gave birth. But she was defeated by Ant King. She would die if the tenth S-Rank hunter in Korea Sung Jinwoo didn’t save her. But she showed her strength enough. She’s the strongest hunter in Korea except Sung Jinwoo who is a bug of the Solo Leveling world. Cha Hae-In isn’t like Sung Jinwoo who can get stronger through leveling up. But she possesses the power of a vessel. Vessels are the avatars of rulers. The title indicates it’s powerful. But rulers wouldn’t let any hunter be their vessels even if she’s powerful. Cha Hae-in is a powerful hunter. Is she a vessel?
Cha Hae-In Is Strong
Rulers and monarchs has fought because of the order of the Absolute Being’s order. The fight doesn’t end even if rulers killed the Absolute Being. Rulers decided to send some energy to the Earth for the upcoming fight. It awakened some humans. They became hunters. The hunters’ power are different. They are divided into A-S ranks. Cha Hae-In was a track and field athlete. But her ankle was hurt when she practiced. She had to give up her career. She was awakened when the gates appeared in the world. She became S-Rank hunter. She joins Hunters Guild then.
Although Solo Leveling didn’t let Cha Hae-In continue her career as a track and field athlete. But she was very active when she was in Hunters Guild. Shen encountered Sung Jinwoo then when she suspected that he was going to kill the dungeon boss alone and get the prize. She found out that she misunderstood him. She began to pay attention to him. She didn’t show her power until she went to get rid of Ant Queen. But Sung Jinwoo knew the girl is stronger than Go Gunhee when he saw her the first time. Go Gunhee is one of the vessels. He lost a lot of power because of his age. But he still managed to fight The Monarch of Frost.
Cha Hae-In wouldn’t show her real power if the ants didn’t evolve. Go Gunhee and Choi Jong-In all thought they should resolve the problem of Jeju Island after the ant’s wings were discovered. Cha Hae-In is the Vice-Guild Master of Hunters Guild. She joined the operation and she went to Jeju Island with Choi Jong-In. Their goal was to kill the leader of the ants. Ant Queen didn’t expect that the humans would trespass on her territory, otherwise she would let Ant King protect her. Cha Hae-In worked with the S-Rank fighter Baek Yoonho. She killed Ant Queen after Baek Yoonho aided her.
Ant Queen tried to make a last stand. But Cha Hae-In wielded her twin swords. She was too fast. Ant Queen couldn’t get a lock on the S-Rank hunter’s position. Her legs and her arms were cut off. Cha Hae-In proved her strength after she killed Ant Queen. She solved the scourge for Korea. But the fight wasn’t over. Because Ant King was still alive. Ant Queen had plan B when the Korea hunters arrived on the island. She gave birth to a powerful ant the Ant King. Ant King came back and he saw his mother’s dead body. He gave Cha Hae-In a death blow.
Is Cha Hae-In A Vessel?
Cha Hae-In has proven her strength after she murdered Ant Queen. But her strength was nothing when she encountered Ant King. Ant King is a magic beast who can defeat the national hunter like Thomas Andre. Thomas Andre is a vessel who was chosen by the ruler. He and other national hunters fought Kamish when the first S-Rank dungeon appeared. He pulled Kamish’s teeth and he gave the teeth to Sung Jinwoo. Thomas Andre defeated Kamish because he’s the vessel of the ruler. The ruler let him use his power. But rulers didn’t choose new vessel since then.
Fortunately, Cha Hae-In doesn’t become a vessel because the choice of rulers in Solo Leveling. But vessels aren’t powerful anymore like before after Sung Jinwoo appeared. Sung Jinwoo is the King of the Dead and the Monarch of Shadows. He inherited Ashborn’s full power. Ashborn was the leader of the rulers. He’s stronger than any ruler. Sung Jinwoo is getting stronger. He’s not the rival of those rulers. Because he doesn’t know the secret of his power. But he will outdo the rulers one day.
It’s not a bad news that Cha Hae-In doesn’t become a vessel. Because her health will be a big problem if she was chosen as a vessel. Go Gunhee was killed by Sillad when he fought the King of Snow Folk and the Monarch of Frost. But his cause of death was because the ruler used his body. Sung Jinwoo’s father Sung Il-Hwan also passed away because he borrowed the power from the ruler. Sung Jinwoo hated those rulers because of it. He called them the murderers.
