Became the Only Healer in the Academy

35

Sung-hyeon also got information about the third year from Seong-wook.

When I asked how he found out so quickly, he said that Hwang Eui-hyeon, who was convinced that he could become the academy representative after the new ability was opened, had ordered it in advance.

‘Now you don’t have to worry about that.’

I was worried that Hwang Eui-hyun would have a back end, but seeing Seong-wook’s expression brightening day by day, I thought I could stop paying attention now.

Seongwook is a religious person, so it was enough to heal him when something happened.

‘Now I can take a breather.’

The remaining time until the next competition is about 3 weeks.

Until then, all he had to do was go out of subjugation of the gate.

“Why don’t we go to another door soon?”

“Are you talking about making a three-man raid?”

At Inhwan’s words, Sangyeon didn’t seem to like it very much.

“What are you talking about. If there are three people, the association won’t even give you permission. You have to make at least five people.”

Even if there were 5 people, it was not possible to go to subjugation at all gates, but if other guilds did not apply for subjugation or were not assigned yet, subjugation was possible.

“Not bad. Now, wolf-type beasts feel too easy.”

There was no reason to go deeper than that, if you went deeper through that door, only psychic beasts would appear.

“Are there any unassigned doors among the 4th grade doors?”

“There must be a lot of 4th grade, good guilds take it from 3rd grade or higher, and weaker guilds take it from 4th grade.”

In-hwan also explained why there were more 4th-grade doors left in addition to this.

“Did you know that the heads of national associations met and had a meeting in the past? When Korea’s status ranking went up. The reason the meeting was held at that time was because there were more and more Level 3 doors.”

Inhwan took out his cell phone and showed the relevant article to continue talking.

“It’s the same in our country, and because of that, good guilds have started to request mercenaries or support from weaker guilds, exceeding the number of level 3 doors that they normally handle.”

In the end, many of the weaker guilds were going out to support level 3 subjugation or as mercenaries, and as a result, there was a situation where the level 4 door they were in charge of was quite left.

“If Seong-hyun looks at your abilities, even level 3 doesn’t seem unreasonable, but we’re not yet.”

Beasts were basically more resistant to pain than humans.

Considering that the stigma does not have the ability to kill, in the end, you have to finish it yourself, there is a high possibility that you will lack the physical ability from the 2nd grade door.

“Would you still give us the right to subjugate? I’m still a freshman at the academy.”

“Maybe the association can’t help it. I know there are quite a few doors that don’t have a lot of overflow left.”

As Inhwan said, as the manpower of the guild in charge of level 4 became insufficient, the number of people left unattended naturally increased.

There are a lot of hunters who did not join the guild, but to be honest, it was not that they did not join the guild, but they did not enter the guild, so we could not expect too much.

“How can I apply once and come?”

In-hwan was excited, with an expression as if he had already won the right to subdue the 4th-level gate.

“Still, there’s nothing wrong with being thorough. When the academy supplies equipment, let’s go there.”

“ah! That would be much better. Is our gear coming out next week?”

“right.”

The difference between having the equipment and not having it was really overwhelming.

Just by looking at the Shinto pendant that Seong-hyeon now has, it made it possible to use the healing power on multiple targets at once.

‘I should have one combat-related equipment.’

Of course, I entrusted the request with related contents, but it was not very common for the equipment to be made as requested.

“Then to the door you always went to today?”

“Yeah, instead, let’s face the beasts alone before we start subjugating the 4th grade gate.”

“That’s fine.”

So, I was going to make plans for today and for the future and start class, but suddenly I felt uncomfortable.

‘By the way… Was there an increase in the frequency of the appearance of the 3rd class door at this time?’

It was a long time ago, so I couldn’t remember it in detail, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t deny the feeling of incongruity that was creeping in me little by little.

“Hey… let’s defer the subjugation of the door today until tomorrow.”

“why? What’s going on?”

When Seong-hyeon, who had never changed words, suddenly changed his words, In-hwan and Sang-yeon looked at Seong-hyeon with a worried expression rather than dissatisfaction.

“No, that’s not it, because I forgot something. I can go tomorrow. Let’s go right in the morning.”

“Yeah then. I hope it’s not a big deal.”

“Well, it won’t be a big deal.”

Seonghyeon finished class today and went straight home.

It was important to subjugate right away, but it didn’t seem like it would work out well with a complicated mind like now.

“son? Did you come early today?”

“Yeah, I have to take a little break too.”

“I thought well. Are you going to eat?”

“yes.”

The younger brother was not home yet, and Seong-hyeon went into his room first and opened the book.

“It’s weird no matter how you think about it.”

When I think about what has changed from the past, the people who should have died did not die.

Korea’s status ranking has risen.

There weren’t many things that changed, but those two things were too big.

‘But due to the increase in the frequency of the appearance of third-class doors, the meeting was held at an appropriate time.’

The problem now was that the period of increase in the frequency of third-grade gate bleeding in ‘Korea’ was different from the past to the point that it felt uncomfortable.

‘The world does not change, but Korea will change?’

I don’t know if other countries have changed or not, but it is clear that Korea has changed slightly.

“Maybe the cause is me.”

Seonghyeon recalled the situation before the return.

The frequency of appearance of level 3 doors increased, and the frequency of appearance of level 2 doors increased after about a year.

Five years after that, the frequency of appearances of first-class gates, the gates that top-level hunters must subdue, increased.

There were some differences by country, but it was almost the same time.

Fortunately, at that time, the number of hunters who lost their lives due to the development of medical technology was considerably reduced compared to now, and many skilled hunters survived and were holding up quite well.

“Then, will the time to increase the frequency of appearances of the 2nd and 1st grades be earlier?”

Compared to Seong-hyun’s memory, the time for the appearance of the third-class door was advanced by about a month.

Looking at it now, it was only a month, but Seong-hyeon was a person who knew and felt the butterfly effect very well.

Right now, the frequency of the appearance of second-class gates may increase even before this year has passed, or the frequency of first-class gates may increase by next year.

“In that case, you have to put all your energy into the fight.”

All plans had to be changed.

It wasn’t really a long-term plan in the first place, but now it’s time to make a plan.

“Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.”

It would have been late if I had noticed it only after the appearance of the second-class door increased, but now I had plenty of time.

The level of the Hunters right now was not low, but the difference between the first-class door in Seong-hyeon’s memory and the first-class door that appeared now was quite severe.

“With my skills right now, I can’t even reach a first-class door.”

Although the stigma was an overwhelmingly powerful ability, it had a crucial drawback.

It has no direct killing ability, and can be used on one target at a time.

Judging soberly, the stigma was not an ability that could be used exclusively for beasts.

It was the healer’s only means of self-defense that could protect himself from other hunters.

“…Since when have I been relying solely on ability?”

It felt like being hit in the head for a moment.

Everything changed so far was because Seong-hyeon unlocked a new ability.

But, how did he live before Seong-hyeon returned?

He was a man of hard work.

Of course, it was said that it collapsed because it did not receive a reasonable price for its efforts, but that was not the case now.

“Let’s not even think about killing a beast with our abilities.”

Could it be that you are just hanging on to the fact that you are healing too much?

Of course, I had no intention of quitting treating others.

That was a new reward and driving force for Seonghyun.

However, he had to make good use of his current physical abilities as well as grasping the vital points he had originally possessed.

In fact, in the match against Hwang Ui-hyeon’s team, who was specialized in close combat, Seong-hyeon was able to withstand two people well, or even fought enough to say that he could withstand it.

One of the effects of the Sacrifice Spirit, similar to Hwang Ui-hyeon in a way, but much higher.

If Hwang Eui-hyeon replaced the pain she felt with greater but temporarily power, Seong-hyeon was the ability to constantly and permanently change it.

“Somehow, we have to win the competition.”

If I could become a first-year representative and request equipment production to the academy, if I could only participate as a representative of the national competition, I could ask DeMarguet, a world-famous equipment craftsman, to produce equipment.

He was such a picky person, so just because he asked for it didn’t mean he made everything.

Among the hunters representing each country now, there are some who cannot use Demargue’s equipment.

“The national competition will be held at the end of the year, so we can see what changes until then.”

If the frequency of appearance of the second-class door increased during that time, it would have been better to move accordingly, otherwise, it was enough to prepare more.

“This year’s competition is the problem…”

Although it was possible to grasp some of the undisclosed information of the 2nd and 3rd graders with the information provided by Seongwook, it was difficult to fill in the basic differences inevitably.

“In the open door, I have to finish all the basics of In-hwan and Sang-yeon, and figure out what kind of abilities the equipment I receive next week has.”

From now on, the most important person is Goo Goo-yeon.

No matter what rules come out in the competition between the 2nd and 3rd graders, Goo Koo had to endure as much as possible to see the potential in the national competition.

“First of all, I want to make these two have faith somehow…”

There was no evil intention.

If these two became the subjects of religious devotion, Seong-hyeon could heal without feeling any pain, and at the same time, she could receive an additional 10% of the spirit of sacrifice.

However, as if he was aware of Seonghyeon’s greed, a window suddenly appeared in front of him.

[A special quest for the sage has arrived.]

“A special quest?”

[Are you sure you want to accept the quest?]

[Contents : ???]

[compensation : ???]

From time immemorial, things covered with ? were one of the two.

Either great good news or great bad news.

It seemed to be closer to the latter when looking at the usual window-viewing attitude, but since a crisis is always an opportunity, Seong-hyeon immediately accepted it.

“Yeah, we have to see.”
