C-Rank

C-Rank is the middle of the hunter ranking ladder in Solo Leveling, the point at which an awakened human is clearly past the weakest tiers without approaching the elite. C-Ranks are markedly stronger than D-Ranks and far beyond ordinary people, but they cannot stand on equal footing with B-Ranks or with anyone above them. They handle mid-level dungeons, though clearing one safely still depends on the team rather than on any individual, and they serve as dependable frontline fighters, mid-tier damage dealers or support units according to whatever ability each of them awakened with. The money is steady enough to live on without being the kind of money the upper grades see. Most C-Ranks work for mid-tier guilds, since the top guilds recruit at B-Rank and above.
