I've Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well-Chapter 124

“Aha, I see.”

Eunbyul responded lightly.

Then, their conversation came to a halt.

The siblings stared at the news on TV in silence.

The news was a repetition of similar stories.

The growing danger of S-rank dungeons.

The eventual threat of the SS-rank dungeon.

Interviews with experts discussing future prospects, and so on.

At this point, Korea was walking a tightrope.

The success or failure of the SS-rank dungeon raid could determine whether Korea would follow in Japan’s footsteps.

It wasn’t just Korea, though.

The whole world was in the same situation.

While watching TV, Yeo Dohyung suddenly spoke up, as if he had just remembered something.

“Oh, by the way, there’s some fresh news.”

“Hm? What is it?”

“I heard that China successfully cleared an SS-rank dungeon.”

“Really? So they’re the second ones to clear it.”

“Yeah, but... it’s a bit ambiguous to call it a success.”

Yeo Dohyung paused for a moment before continuing.

“More than half of the high-level hunters who participated died, apparently.”

“……”

Eunbyul was silent, unable to find the words.

More than half of the hunters dead.

It was too great a cost to call it a victory.

“Hah…”

Yeo Dohyung sighed heavily.

“There are just too many S-rank dungeons piling up in the provinces... It’s like we need two bodies just to handle it all.”

“What about the SS-rank? Have there been any talks about it?”

“They’re still discussing it.”

“Aha…”

Eunbyul nodded faintly.

She had expected that answer.

With the news from China in mind, it wasn’t something that could be decided easily.

A single mistake could cost lives.

And even if they did clear it, that wouldn’t be the end.

Dungeons would keep appearing.

“The provinces really have their hands full...”

Eunbyul mumbled as she continued to gaze at the TV.

At that moment, breaking news flashed across the screen.

Breaking News! It has been reported that Jeong Si-Hyun, Kim Ji-Ah, and Jason Turner, who had been active in Japan, have arrived at Gimhae International Airport.

The TV screen flickered and shifted to the airport, where Si-Hyun, dressed neatly and appearing ready for an interview, was caught on camera.

Flashes from cameras went off non-stop.

“Hunter Jeong Si-Hyun! Could you please share your thoughts on your success in Japan?”

“You were active in the SS-rank dungeon in Japan, how do you feel about it?”

A barrage of questions from the press.

Si-Hyun remained calm and composed, quietly watching them.

“Since you must have heard the news from Korea while you were in Japan, what are your thoughts?”

At that question, Si-Hyun’s previously quiet attitude shifted.

She took a quiet breath, and slowly began to speak.

“As I said before…”

Her soft and gentle voice.

As soon as her mouth opened, the surroundings became silent.

All eyes were now on her.

“I don’t take orders from anyone, but…”

Si-Hyun paused intentionally.

She was about to give the answer everyone had been waiting for.

The solution to Korea’s urgent situation.

It seemed like she was about to reject that responsibility.

But there was an unexpected twist.

Tension and anticipation filled the air, with both emotions building in the press corps.

The atmosphere was thick with energy.

“I’m doing this because I want to. Shall we begin the cleanup?”

Si-Hyun gave a playful smile.

At that moment, a brief silence passed through the reporters, before—

“Woooow!”

“Of course, Hunter Jeong Si-Hyun! You’re the best!”

“You’re Korea’s savior!”

“You’re the pride of South Korea!”

An explosive cheer erupted!

The atmosphere turned electric as the reporters began clapping and cheering, cameras still raised in excitement.

Si-Hyun, amidst the roar of cheers, added one more statement.

“I won’t let anyone down. I’ll be back with great news soon.”

With that short sentence, the cheers intensified again.

The airport had turned into a festival, welcoming a hero.

The heat of the moment showed no signs of cooling down.

This fervor was felt by Eunbyul and Dohyung, who were watching from the TV.

And it spread to countless citizens across Korea as well.

[Breaking News] Success in Clearing an S-Rank Dungeon in Busan!

After the interview at Gimhae International Airport,

news of the dungeon raid success began to spread across all media outlets.

It had barely been a few days since Si-Hyun and her team returned to Korea.

Yet, their success stories were continually being reported.

“Wow, that’s insane. Today, they cleared all the high-level dungeons in Jeonnam.”

“Wasn’t there an S-rank dungeon in Mokpo?”

“There was. Not anymore, though.”

“Seriously, that’s so amazing…”

Citizens couldn’t stop talking about Si-Hyun and her team.

With new success stories being added every day, there was never a dull moment.

Their raid speed was truly incredible.

[‘Whirlwind’ Jeong Si-Hyun Team, 7 dungeon clearances in one day!]

The news was like a car without brakes, speeding through the media!

What’s more, Si-Hyun, Ji-Ah, and Jason didn’t always raid together.

When raiding S-rank dungeons, they gathered together.

For dungeons below A-rank, they went off individually, soloing them.

Before they formed a party, each of them was used to raiding dungeons alone.

Their raid speed was on a completely different level from ordinary hunters.

But that wasn’t all.

Thanks to Si-Hyun’s buffs, they could recover both physically and mentally,

which meant their raid speed reached levels that others could never hope to match.

In just a few days, the long-standing problem with high-level dungeons in the provinces was completely resolved.

It was an unbelievable achievement in such a short time.

When Si-Hyun returned to Seoul, she confidently declared:

“I’m taking a break now. You guys can take care of the remaining dungeons.”

It was a declaration of rest.

But no one could object.

No one could be so heartless as to argue against it...

"Wow, no way. Clearing S-rank dungeons in one go, is that for real?""How much can three people possibly do? Seriously, that’s insane.""They’ve done this much, so now other hunters can take care of the SS-rank dungeons, right? LOL""I’m so proud to be born in Korea these days...."

At this point, they had already become living legends.

***

A few days passed.

The accomplishments of Si-Hyun and her team had sparked a new reaction.

Suddenly, high-level hunters had some free time.

Having rested enough, where did their attention turn?

It turned to the newly emerged SS-rank dungeon in Korea.

Those planning to raid it began to appear.

The most prominent of them was the Cheonglim Guild.

“Got it? This time, we absolutely must regain our reputation!”

In the conference room of the Cheonglim Guild’s building,

the guild leader of Cheonglim shouted with intensity.

The staff, highly tense, nodded their heads in agreement.

“Even if we have to ally with other guilds, we’re the main characters here. If we miss this opportunity, it’s over! Got it?!”

“Yes, understood!”

Cheonglim was serious about planning the raid of the SS-rank dungeon.

They assembled an elite raid team, led by Kang Cheol-Min.

Referring to news from the Chinese raid, they began recruiting guilds to form alliances for the attack.

The core of the raid, however, had to be Cheonglim.

Based on this principle, the Dawn Guild was excluded.

The Knight Guild was also excluded.

Naturally, they did not request any cooperation from Si-Hyun through the management bureau.

Nevertheless, Cheonglim was confident in their ability to successfully raid the SS-rank dungeon.

“With me here, this raid is guaranteed to succeed! Hahaha!”

“Of course, of course!”

They were confident, as they had Kang Cheol-Min, who prided himself on being Korea's—no, the world's—best.

Recently, however, Kang Cheol-Min had been in a foul mood.

This was because Jeong Si-Hyun, who had provoked him during a special lecture, was now enjoying overwhelming popularity.

In this situation, Kang Cheol-Min thought to himself.

‘I’ll turn public opinion around with this accomplishment.’

I am the representative hunter of Korea.

Kang Cheol-Min flashed a relaxed smile.

Meanwhile, rumors spread and more people began to focus their attention on Cheonglim.

As stories about Si-Hyun and her team’s break grew scarce,

Cheonglim had filled the void left behind.

Public expectations were rising steadily.

The opportunity to gain both rewards and honor.

Cheonglim had staked everything on this raid.

***

A familiar and comfortable home.

Si-Hyun lay on the sofa, slumped like melted marshmallow, staring at the ceiling in a state of pure relaxation, enjoying the feeling of lethargy itself.

“Yawn...”

Si-Hyun turned over on the couch and picked up her smartphone.

Without any particular purpose, she started browsing the internet.

I’ve got things to do starting tomorrow...

So, for today, she decided to just relax and take it easy.

Si-Hyun idly let her thoughts drift.

At that moment, a private message notification popped up on the screen.

Si-Hyun lazily clicked on the notification and opened the chat room.

It was from Jason.

Saintess, Evan keeps pushing for a meeting.I don’t know. It’s a hassle. We’ll meet eventually. By the way, do you want to spar? I promised to grant your wish.Oh! Shall we go right now?Tomorrow.Understood!

Jason forgot about Evan in an instant.

Si-Hyun chuckled softly and returned to browsing the internet.

I should probably meet Evan at least once.

It wasn’t that meeting Evan was troublesome, really.

It was more of a power play.

A way to take control of the relationship.

Si-Hyun lazily moved her fingers over the smartphone screen.
