Chapter 95
—
Meanwhile, at a café near the Hunter Management Bureau in Korea,
Section Chief Jang Han-soo was having coffee with Hunter Kim Ji-a.
They were discussing and coordinating upcoming schedules.
“You mentioned planning a trip this summer, right?”
“Yes, absolutely.”
“May I ask who you’re going with?”
“I’ll be going with Si-hyun.”
“Ah… Understood.”
The section chief slowly nodded.
That explained why Si-hyun had mentioned getting a passport recently.
It all connected.
It meant Hunter Kim Ji-a would be traveling abroad with her.
The section chief quietly added this information to his mental notes.
“Have you decided on a destination yet? If you’d like, the Bureau can arrange transportation and accommodations for you.”
The section chief proposed cautiously.
For high-ranking hunters traveling abroad, such benefits were automatically provided.
However, since this trip was purely for leisure,
he was essentially suggesting unofficial support.
Moreover, the fact that Si-hyun was accompanying them made the offer even more significant.
Ji-a thought for a moment before lightly shaking her head.
“We haven’t made specific plans yet. I’ll discuss it further.”
“Understood.”
The section chief nodded and took a sip of his coffee.
Even this much of a response was enough.
The relationship between the Bureau and the two women was proceeding smoothly.
At that moment,
Buzz—
A small vibration came from the section chief’s pocket.
It was a notification on his smartphone.
He pulled it out and checked the message.
Soon, his expression hardened.
Ji-a, who had been sipping her coffee across from him, asked curiously.
“Section Chief, did you receive bad news?”
“…It seems Si-hyun might cause a commotion.”
“What? Si-hyun?”
Section Chief Jang Han-soo instinctively looked around.
The private room was quiet, with no one eavesdropping.
In a low voice, he explained.
“It seems she’s gotten into a quarrel with Jason Turner from the United States.”
“What? Why would he quarrel with Si-hyun?”
“That part, I’m not entirely sure either… Anyway, I’ve been informed she’s planning to give him a beating within a remote gate. Just in case, She sent a message to inform me…”
“….”
Ji-a’s mouth fell slightly open in surprise, while the section chief pressed his fingers against his temples, deep in thought.
Soon, both of them stood up simultaneously.
“We should head over.”
“Yes, I think that would be best.”
After sharing the location, the two drove separately in their own cars.
Sweat beaded on the hands of Section Chief Jang Han-soo as he gripped the steering wheel.
He knew Si-hyun was strong.
He had heard all sorts of stories about the mysterious nun from various sources.
But he didn’t know the extent of her strength.
While she had claimed her occupation was a Holy Knight, rumors from the double dungeon suggested she was a skilled swordsman. She was also a magician.
The mixed information made one thing clear—she was undeniably powerful.
But everything else was a mess.
“To think her opponent is Jason Turner from the United States…”
Naturally, this made him worry.
In more ways than one.
* * *
“Hahaha!”
Jason laughed heartily, deflecting Si-hyun’s punch.
Si-hyun took a light step back.
“What a delightful woman!”
To think she would take the initiative to attack first.
And in close combat, no less!
His arms, which had deflected the blow, felt no pain or discomfort.
This meant her punch wasn’t strong enough to cause damage to his durable body.
However, Jason felt his blood boiling with excitement.
“A Magic-type Hunter choosing to engage in close combat!”
It was the first time in his life.
Never before had anyone been so audacious against him!
“Let’s see what you’ve got!”
Jason used his combat skill to circulate mana throughout his body, further enhancing his physical strength.
With his legs fully powered,
Boom!
he launched himself toward Si-hyun, leaving a crater in the ground.
Jason’s massive fist flew toward Si-hyun’s face.
Si-hyun easily tilted her head, letting the attack pass by.
“Oh-ho!”
Jason exclaimed in admiration.
For an ordinary Magic-type Hunter, letting Jason close the distance would have immediately put them at a disadvantage.
Thus, they would do everything to avoid closing the gap.
But this woman was different.
She dodged his attacks with her physical ability alone.
It made him wonder if she was really a magician at all.
Whoosh—!
Jason’s relentless attacks continued to target Si-hyun.
Yet, Si-hyun evaded them without retreating, using the bare minimum of movement.
The attacks that were hard to dodge, she blocked with flawless form.
Though she couldn’t seize control of the fight, she wasn’t being overwhelmed either.
“Miss! Are you really a magician?!”
Pausing his attacks for a moment, Jason caught his breath and asked.
He couldn’t suppress his endless curiosity.
Si-hyun relaxed her muscles and gave a short answer.
“…A former Saintess.”
“Hahaha!”
Jason let out a hearty laugh.
It was an answer he hadn’t expected at all.
A former Saintess, of all things!
It wasn’t a trait of an Awakener, nor did it refer to her current occupation.
It was an utterly charming response.
“Here I come again!”
“….”
Lost in the excitement of battle, Jason naturally began speaking informally as he charged forward.
Though her actions continued to defy his expectations,
that was as far as it went.
The occasional punches and kicks she threw weren’t particularly strong.
At most, they were at an A-rank level, or at worst, B-rank.
Even so, that was impressive.
But ultimately, it wasn’t enough.
With his physically enhanced body, it was nothing to worry about.
“Let’s see you dodge this!”
Jason focused his combat skill, channeling power into his fists.
He brought them down with all his strength.
Boom—!
“Oh-ho?”
Once again, he was surprised.
If she hadn’t dodged, it would’ve been the end.
Even if she had, the sheer force from the ground should’ve disrupted her stance.
But his fists didn’t even reach the ground.
As if she had anticipated it, a transparent wall blocked his attack.
It was magic.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Jason relentlessly pounded on the barrier with punches and kicks.
Cracks began to appear on the magical wall.
“Come on, try attacking me like you just did!”
A ridiculous wall like that?
I’ll break it down in no time!
Jason had encountered countless patterns like this before.
In his mind, victory was already taking shape.
And then,
“…Analysis ends here.”
A quiet murmur reached his ears.
Jason frowned and looked at Si-hyun’s face.
The beautiful woman stared at him expressionlessly.
From that moment on,
the tide of the battle shifted.
Bang!
“What?!”
A sudden explosion of air struck from his blind spot!
Jason barely dodged the magic in time.
In that instant, Si-hyun deactivated her shield and threw a punch.
He casually crossed his arms to block it.
For him, it was nothing.
But Si-hyun’s assault didn’t end there.
Sharp spikes emerged from the ground.
Explosions erupted near him whenever an opening appeared.
When the distance widened, fierce flames roared forth.
None of these were overwhelmingly powerful, but they weren’t weak enough to be ignored either.
Jason kept getting caught up.
“Hmph!”
It wasn’t for nothing that he was an S-rank Hunter, known for his prowess in one-on-one combat.
Using his outstanding physical abilities, Jason managed to close the distance once again.
However, the situation didn’t improve much.
He couldn’t overpower Si-hyun in close combat.
While he technically had the advantage in melee, he lacked the offensive force to break through.
His combat skills, meant to create turning points, were blocked each time by swiftly generated shields.
As if she was predicting his every move.
The former Saintess truly lived up to her reputation as an all-rounder.
“This… this can’t be!”
Jason’s mind was consumed by chaos.
Despite his attempts to mix things up, there was no sign of breaking through.
It wasn’t that her attacks were overwhelmingly strong.
But her ridiculous level of skill naturally prolonged the fight into a drawn-out battle.
“…It’s gone quiet, hasn’t it?”
“Ugh!”
“A tanker, trying to take me on?”
Si-hyun sneered lightly, mocking her opponent.
Jason was certainly sturdy. His attacks, utilizing his physical abilities, weren’t bad either.
But he had chosen the wrong opponent.
“…You’re starting to feel sluggish, aren’t you?”
“…What?!”
Jason’s eyes widened in shock.
“Now that you mention it?!”
His physical enhancement was weakening.
His body felt sluggish, his speed decreasing.
Even his strength had diminished.
Whoosh—! Smack!
“Urgh!”
Si-hyun’s kick struck Jason in the side.
Jason swallowed a groan as he was forced back.
A stinging pain radiated from his waist.
“Hey, puppy. Let’s have a moment of repentance, shall we?”
In a flash, Si-hyun’s fist shot toward Jason’s solar plexus.
Jason hastily crossed his arms to block the attack.
Screech—
Jason’s body was pushed back, his feet scraping against the ground.
Si-hyun launched herself toward him again, pushing off the ground.
“Urk!”
Victory was now firmly in Si-hyun’s grasp.
All that was left was to thoroughly beat him in close combat.
“That’s what you get for pestering me.”
As a tanker, Jason was never going to deal significant damage to her.
Minor injuries could be healed.
The result was a battle of endurance.
And when it came to long fights, she, Jung Si-hyun, was unmatched.
From the start, this was a fight with a predetermined winner.
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
At first, Jason managed to endure her attacks.
But gradually, the fight turned into a one-sided beatdown.
“Urgh!”
After taking a heavy blow to the stomach, Jason crumpled to the ground.
He immediately tried to stand and regain his stance.
But now, Si-hyun was faster.
A powerful punch smashed into his nose.
Drip—
“Ugh…!”
Jason clutched his nose, groaning in pain.
Si-hyun didn’t let up, delivering blow after blow.
She drove her fist into his solar plexus, cutting off his breath and forcing him to lower his head, only to strike his forehead with her elbow.
As his head dropped, she followed with an upward kick.
Crunch—!
The sound of bones cracking filled the air.
“…!”
“This is just the beginning.”
Si-hyun healed Jason, leaving him unable to even speak properly, only to hit him again.
When Jason barely stood up, she jumped lightly in front of him.
“Urgh!”
Her spinning kick smashed into his head.
Jason was sent flying, rolling helplessly across the ground.
“We’re not done yet.”
“Ugh!”
Si-hyun beat Jason thoroughly, as one would a stray dog.
For someone as sturdy as him, it was incredibly satisfying to land each blow.
A perfect way to relieve stress.
* * *
“Let’s hurry inside!”
“Yes, let’s go!”
Ji-a and Section Chief Jang Han-soo arrived at the gate.
Entering a pre-registered gate required identity verification for outsiders.
However, Section Chief Jang Han-soo flashed his Bureau ID, skipping the cumbersome procedures.
This was possible because it was a low-grade dungeon.
The two quickly entered the dungeon.
And the sight that greeted them was—
“Huh? What brings you two here?”
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Si-hyun, turning a Western man into a bloody pulp.
And that man happened to be none other than Jason Turner, the S-rank Hunter infamous for his love of fights.
Ji-a covered her mouth with one hand, while the section chief stood agape, staring at the scene.
