Cha Hae-In is an S Rank Hunter in South Korea. She first appears in the 1st episode of the anime and chapter 65 of the manhwa. By nature, she is shy and unsociable, and she doesn’t have many friends, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t strong. After Jinwoo sees her, he considers her on the same level as Chairman Go Gunhe.
During the Jeju Island arc, the Ant King realizes that she is the most dangerous one among the others, even though there are 2 more S-class hunters present. That’s why Ant King attacked her first. She is one of the strongest hunters in South Korea. Cha Hae-In is the vice guild master in the Hunter Guild. Later, she joins Jinwoo’s Ahjin Guild.
Cha Hae-In has ability to smell mana. Because of this, most hunters and monsters smell bad to her. But Jinwoo is an exception. She doesn’t find him smelly, probably because he’s the Player of the System.
Powers and Abilities
Cha Hae-In is highly skilled in swordsmanship, showing her prowess by easily defeating Igris in a sparring session. She also possesses enhanced strength, demonstrated when she made Kumamoto bleed with a punch and decapitated the Ant Queen with a single sword swing.
Her speed is another remarkable trait, as she can move swiftly in battles, dodging attacks from formidable opponents like Igris and Beru. Despite sustaining severe injuries, such as ruptured organs from the Ant King and a severed shoulder from the Architect, Cha displayed remarkable durability and continued fighting at full speed.
In combat, Cha Hae-In employs special techniques like the Sword Dance, which boosts her attack speed with graceful movements. She can also transform her sword into pure light, increasing its cutting power, known as the Sword of Light. Additionally, she has a move called Quake of Provocation, where she stabs her sword into the ground, creating a small earthquake to damage enemies in the vicinity.
At Last
Cha Hae-In is the strongest female hunter in Solo Leveling. Even though Choi Jong-In is the master of the Hunter’s Guild in terms of power, she is more powerful than him. In the manhwa, she falls in love with Jin-Woo, although it was one-sided. But after the Cup of Reincarnation, Jin-Woo proposed to her, and they got married and also had a son, Sung Su-Ho.
