chapter 42
42
No matter how many times I dealt with a 4th-level Beast, I didn’t feel very tired or tired.
After dealing with the 4th level beasts a few times like that, Hayeon and Seongwook also arrived.
“Hey, what the hell is this?”
“I, isn’t that the 4th-level door beast?!”
Seong-hyeon, who realized that the two had arrived, immediately dealt with the 4th-grade beast, and looked at In-hwan and Sang-yeon and said,
“Now deal with it. arrived.”
“yes!”
“okay.”
As soon as Seonghyeon’s words fell out, the two quickly dealt with the 4th level beast, took off their bracelets with Seonghyeon and headed to Hayeon and Seongwook.
“Are you here?”
“Seo, Seonghyeon, what the hell is this place…”
“Um… it’s long to explain, but…”
Seong-hyeon briefly explained to Ha-yeon and Seong-wook the reason why the application for the subjugation was not approved, as well as the secret of this place.
“With this machine, you can summon up to a second-class beast. But since we can’t hunt the 2nd-class gate beasts. I’m thinking of hunting the 3rd-level door beast…”
Ha-yeon and Seong-wook looked at Seong-hyeon without saying anything with their mouths open when they were told that it was a level 3 doorman.
“3rd, 3rd grade…”
When the level of the door changed, only the numbers changed like 5, 4, 3., but the level of the beasts in it showed a significant difference.
The reason why Seongwook was just surprised was that there was a huge difference between the beasts of the 4th-level gate and the 5th-class gate.
“First of all, can you tell me about Hayeon’s detailed abilities?”
“Ah yes!”
Usually, the students inside the academy had one or two more abilities besides the ones most of them were known for.
“All I know is that it’s just taking a lot of damage from the front, but actually my ability is to share damage.”
“Blood, share the damage?”
“Yes, the total amount of damage taken by team members is reduced and shared.”
In a way, it was an ability that had something in common with Seong-hyeon.
‘That’s why I was so active back then.’
It was only now that I understood Hayeon’s behavior at the mutated door.
It is said that he saved his life once before, but he showed an active side even for that, and there was a reason.
“Seongwook, do you have any other abilities?”
“That, that…”
Seongwook showed an expression of difficulty speaking.
There was nothing wrong with talking to Seong-hyeon, but it felt like he was a little reluctant to hear other people.
“They’re all trustworthy people, but if you’re uncomfortable, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“Oh no! I will tell you.”
Seongwook trusted Seonghyeon, and Seonghyeon believed in those who believed, so he spoke slowly.
“You can seal your opponent’s abilities… for a while.”
“Sealing your abilities?!”
I couldn’t say anything other than an exclamation because Seong-wook, as well as the others, were surprised by Seong-wook’s words.
“Actually, it’s difficult to use it in practice… It requires preparation in advance, and the actual sealing time is not long, and only the abilities I have learned can be sealed.”
It was a skill that had many conditions, but the ability to seal was the ability to create enormous variables.
Seonghyeon’s team had the ability to sufficiently meet the many conditions.
“Wait, wait, isn’t our team balance almost golden?!”
Inhwan said in a very reminiscent voice.
As Inhwan said, Seonghyeon’s subjugation team now shows an overwhelming balance than any other subjugation squad.
“Twitter, is it because of us? Think about who is on our team.”
Sang-yeon clicked her tongue as if it was pathetic, and In-hwan did not object this time.
“Actually, Seonghyeon is the center of that completion.”
“Then… do you think Seong-hyeon also has other abilities?”
There was not one ability that Seong-hyeon did not reveal.
The only known ability was healing, but there were many hidden abilities such as stigma and purification.
‘…You don’t have to tell me everything.’
Since Jeong-hwa could later pretend that it was included in healing, Seong-hyeon, who was worried for a while, decided to reveal only one.
The ability that In-hwan and Sang-yeon already know.
“I also have the power of stigma.”
“stigma?”
Hayeon and Seongwook remembered the meaning of the word stigma.
sacred traces.
The two waited for Seong-hyeon’s next explanation as it was quite an abstract word to be called the name of the ability.
“It is the ability to inflict pain on others as much as I can heal.”
“Three, my God…”
After that, Ha-yeon was unable to speak.
If there was no falsehood in what Seong-hyun said now, it was indeed an ability that existed above any other fighting ability.
“Are there any restrictions…?”
Seonghyeon pondered for a moment at the slightly sharp question, and then decided to confide in everything.
“Um… no.”
“No, that’s absurd…”
I even felt a little nauseous.
“That’s why Hwang Eui-hyun was like that back then!”
Only then did Seongwook understand why Hwang Eui-hyun sat on the floor that day.
‘Now, wait a minute, Hwang Eui-hyun is definitely the ability to replace pain with strength…’
That said, the pain that Seong-hyeon gave was beyond Hwang Ui-hyun’s limit.
It was clear that Hwang Eui-hyeon’s ability was also a huge talent, but Seong-hyeon’s ability was much higher than that ability to completely overwhelm it.
“Hey, look at those two faces. When you first hear it, aren’t you like us?”
“…I’ve never seen such a stupid expression on my face.”
“What do you mean, while staring into the air with the color of Dong-tae’s eyes?”
“…Shut up.”
Sunghyun turned the topic around without paying more attention to their reaction.
“Stop chattering and let’s get started. First, the 4th grade beast.”
Seong-hyeon explained to Ha-yeon and Seong-wook how to use the equipment, the variables that the secretary told him, and what he became as a result of that solution.
“Since there are less than two weeks left until the next academic year, we are going to respond to variables as much as possible.”
Seonghyeon did not spend time dealing only with the demons.
The number of five people was enough, and everyone had different kinds of abilities, so it was perfect for fighting.
Of course, Seong-hyeon had the condition not to use stigmata, and because everyone knew about Seong-hyun’s movements during the confrontation, Seong-hyun’s team always competed with two people.
As the result of the match was always decided by the team that Seong-hyeon belonged to, later on, the match was conducted without Seong-hyeon altogether.
“Are you going to do this at a time like this?”
As a few days passed, Seonghyeon had more time to watch and give advice to the other four than to hunt monsters or participate in the match.
‘…is this correct?’
Although there were some doubts, it was also an opportunity to look at the battle from a wider perspective, so Seong-hyeon faithfully carried out his current mission.
The association did not simply rent a place.
I feel a little sorry for Seong-hyeon, but the association considered this the best opportunity because it had never directly confirmed Seong-hyeon’s combat abilities.
“her…”
The vice president was staring at the screen with the car in his hand stopped in the air as if it was ridiculous.
On the screen, Seong-hyeon, In-hwan, and Sang-yeon were seen hunting with movements as if they were playing with the 4th-class gate beast.
“Among the first year of the academy, how many people can hunt the level 4 gate beasts as if they were playing with toys like that?”
In a 1:1 situation, students with combat-specific abilities would have been able to hunt, but there wouldn’t be many people who could deliberately exchange air and ravage like that.
“…Vice President, that move is absolutely…”
“okay. I know.”
A move that doesn’t fit the words healer, combat assistant.
In-hwan and Sang-yeon were also very relaxed, but Sung-hyun in particular was showing a different dimension from the others.
“This… is far beyond our thinking. It was as if he had other powers…”
“Sufficiently suspicious…or almost certain.”
I had no intention of asking Seong-hyeon about this.
However, it was often seen that he was hiding something from the appearance of Seonghyeon that he had shown so far.
It was Sung-hyeon’s freedom to hide it, and it was the association’s freedom to discover it.
The association had no intention of revealing what it had found out to Seong-hyeon.
“Are you sure you’ve done all the records?”
“Yes, I wrote everything down.”
The vice president nodded and stared at Seonghyeon, who was even seen on the screen.
“Is the interscholastic competition next week?”
There is now only one week left until the class competition that will determine the Academy representative.
In order to check the atmosphere of the academy, Sung-hyun took classes at the academy after a long time.
“So, the effect that the appearance of the Demonic Beasts itself had on us…”
While I was concentrating on developing my abilities and expanding my limits every day, I felt like I was calming down when I heard about the theoretical part like this.
As I sat comfortably and listened to the class, I remembered my daily life before returning home.
Even in such an ordinary class, the professors were fiercely asking questions to Seong-hyeon.
It’s like trying to set an example.
Whether you answered correctly or not, it didn’t matter.
It was nothing more than a toy for professors.
It was hard to find the ridicule of the classmates who followed him every now and then.
Besides, today was a day with only theory classes, so it seemed okay to ventilate a little with a different daily routine.
“Sung Hyun-ah, when are you going to the association?”
Inhwan didn’t seem to like this kind of serenity very much.
“Yeah, I don’t think it really helps…”
And it was the same with the show.
“Would you like to go eat lunch then?”
“okay! Academy rice is served well, so let’s eat lunch and go to the association.”
“That would be fine.”
The three of them headed to the Academy Restaurant together for the first time in a long time.
Even before entering the entrance, there was a fragrant smell of food, and Inhwan entered the restaurant with his eyes shining as if he had lost his desire to go to the association thanks to the smell.
Another classmate had arrived in the dining room.
Already, at least in the first year of Seonghyeon’s team, no one was unaware of Seonghyeon’s existence.
“Let’s go eat and go. I got enough sums for a week, so I want to hunt down the 3rd-class gate beasts as soon as possible.”
“I agree. If it’s our level… I think we can handle at least one 3rd-level beast without difficulty.”
“right. Anyway, I was planning on hunting a 3rd-grade beast today. Still, let’s eat well and let’s go.”
The three of them sat down at the same table and started eating.
‘…Well?’
However, today’s academy meal was a little different from usual.
It’s been a while, so I wondered if I remembered the taste wrong, but no matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t.
“It’s a little… strange, isn’t it?”
“yes? why? not good?”
“Hmm, I can’t feel anything different.”
Seonghyeon’s ability didn’t strengthen her sense of taste.
And the more I ate, the more sour taste disappeared, so Seong-hyeon thought it was a simple illusion and started eating.
“Did you eat it all? Let’s get going!”
Inhwan ate the quickest meal and urged the two of them, and Seonghyeon left a few questions about the meal, but I didn’t think it was necessary to worry too much, so I followed Inhwan’s words and headed to the association.
