I’ve Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well

"Um... sorry to bother you again, but could you repeat that?"
"I will awaken you."

At Si-Hyun's request, Evan repeated himself.
Si-Hyun tilted her head, sinking into thought.

So I didn’t mishear him.

He said he would awaken her.
It was a brief statement, but it carried countless implications.
Si-Hyun leaned back against her chair and crossed her legs.

He said he’d explain everything anyway.

There was no need to rush.
He’d lay it all out clearly on his own.
As if reading her thoughts, Evan began speaking in a calm voice.

"If I explained everything in detail, it would take a long time. Let me summarize."
"Please do."
"The entity that created the systems of awakening and status windows—that would be me."
"...That’s very succinct. Are you saying you’re a god-like being?"
"Not exactly, but you can understand it that way."

Evan nodded.

"The appearance of gates and the Great Cataclysm could be compared to a 'natural disaster.' But the real problem is the beings who have artificially interfered to escalate its scale. They are invaders from another world."
"What’s their goal?"
"Since they’re beings from another world, I can’t say for sure."
"Sigh..."

Si-Hyun’s expression crumpled.
No matter how she thought about it...

Isn’t it that damned Hero again?

Her past experiences pointed to one obvious answer.
Just how far would he go to be a nuisance?
He truly was an immeasurable, garbage-tier annoyance.

"The speed at which Earth is adapting to mana has accelerated unnaturally. The invader will likely arrive soon."
"And you’re saying you want me to deal with them."
"Correct."

When Si-Hyun deduced the answer so clearly, Evan nodded in satisfaction.

"Bound by limitations, I had to find a way to protect Earth. That’s why I decided to place my bet on you."
"...Ugh, I really hate this."
"Pardon?"
"Oh, sorry. I meant the invader, not you."
"Do you have any idea who it might be?"
"There was this obsessive stalker type. Looks like he’s throwing a fit trying to follow me to Earth."
