The sword saint chasing Kal Signer -> resulted in Kal not being able to sleep for more than 2 hours a day. The event with Nazad is also slower but overall the same. First of all, Kal and his minion pick up their weapons, prepare themselves, then upon noticing the old man - who was wearing a "wizard hat" (not wizard robe with a hoodie) - had demonic power that far exceeds their own, they put down their weapons and kneel. The old man asks if he is Kal Signer, then removes his hat, introduces himself -> asks some questions, then eventually does the violent thing.

There is some info given out about hunters who are around level 25. They "needed to clear at lest 20 Gates to reach that level." This also meant that they "had to have at least 10 near-death experiences."

Cha Min-woo explanation (as to why he was looking for Seo Jun-ho) was just part of the narration.

The manhwa proceeds to completely skip the details as to Seo Jun-ho's warm-up and results. In 4 days, he cleared 2 gates, got to level 23 and is now able to equip the sword Noya made for him. On top of that, he "got too excited" and "his armor was reduced to rags in the process."
The box Seo Jun-ho was looking at in the manhwa arrives after the greeting with the Cha Min-woo -> an express delivery with the new armor that you will see in the next chapter.
About the armor: it's made from dragon bones and it's just one piece -> Seo Jun-ho was a bit disappointed but put it on -> where "the armor expanded like a machine, covering him from head to toe."
Yes, people saw this happen, and someone read "Kwon" on the box and people were envious.
It's not stated, but this casually gave Seo Jun-ho some authority in the gate. "The president used his power" was the excuse. And then, finally the question of joining the party got asked.

*Disruption: This armor can block tracking skills rank C and lower aimed at the user.

There's also some info as to why Seo Jun-ho only ever wore leather armor: heavy armor is cumbersome and slows him down, regardless of what magic was put on it. (Reminder: it's been 25 years.)

To respond to the guy wondering why Seo Jun-ho would "babysit strangers" -> a line from the novel: "Of course, this wasn't because he saw himself as some hero. Saving as many Players as possible meant that clearing the Gate would be much easier. It was the conclusion he had arrived at after objectively weighing the factors."

Why should you? They are players too, they know the risks. There is no need for you to babysit strangers.

Girl Scouts are here, they gonna sell me some cookies or something?
