chapter 21
21
Seonghyeon went to the door with Inhwan today.
“Shall we go a little deeper today?”
In-hwan seemed to have gained quite a bit of confidence thanks to Seong-hyeon.
He had never suffered any wounds, but considering the abilities of Seonghyeon shown in the mutated door, it was clear that even small wounds could be easily healed.
“okay. It sure seems like your proficiency is rising quickly, right?”
“Haha, you have to go. How many hours a day are you subjugating?”
Except for the time to eat in the morning, he was subjugating at the gate all day long, so he couldn’t not climb unless his mastery level went up.
However, since Inhwan’s ability is strong, the chance to match the two rarely came.
“Then are you going to catch a wolf-type beast?”
“Yeah, it’s because you can’t catch a low-level beast like a goblin forever.”
The two headed deeper into the door.
When he saw the place where he had saved Park Han-wook the other day, a different roar began to be heard from the front.
“I’m a little nervous because there’s no front row, but if you deal with them one by one, you’ll be fine.”
Looking at the firepower alone, the wolf-type beast was at a level enough to hunt.

Most of the first-year academy students had the talent to deal with wolf-type beasts on a 1:1 basis.
However, due to the problem of proficiency, there are only a few problems.
“There it is.”
“Uh, where?”
Seong-hyeon grabbed In-hwan’s shoulder and pulled him down as he had not yet found the beast.
“About 20m ahead. Can you hit it from this distance?”
“Are you alone?”
“yes. I am alone.”
“It’s the first time in a street like this…”
“It’s okay, so take it slow.”
Seong-hyeon exhorted In-hwan, who had a worried face.
The important thing right now is to increase the mastery of Inhwan, who has the most attack power and range among the three.
“Okay, I’ll try.”
Inhwan got up from his seat and stared at the beast in front of him.
Fortunately, he had not yet noticed the existence of this place, and it seemed so peaceful.
“…fire!”
After a moment’s concentration was over, Inhwan used the ability that caused the most damage to a single target.
It is the ability to create blue flames on the opponent’s body, and if it was a normal red flame, it would be extinguished by putting out the fire normally, but the blue flame was the ability to burn the opponent’s inner side.
It’s not about burning your skin, it’s about burning the magic you have.
The larger the target, the more damage it took, and it was a tremendous ability that had to burn 10% of the magic power it had.
However, since it was necessary to use the same amount of magical power, it was an ability that would not be too difficult for the caster to use after understanding the amount of magic the opponent has.
“ah…”
However, the target of the fire was not the beast.
It was attached to the corpse of another beast that had been eaten right next to the beast.
“Creep!”
Surprised by this, Masu jumped up from his seat and looked around, and the locations of Seonghyeon and Inhwan were quickly identified.
“Um, sorry…”
“it’s okay. Now you have to really focus.”
As Seong-hyeon said, the wolf-type beast was sprinting towards the two of them with all their might.
“Calm down and attack. Aggro, I’ll take you.”
“Yes, you?”
Seong-hyeon had already received a perfect score in the first test, where she had to take the test without ability, but even In-hwan didn’t fully believe it.
“hurry! I don’t have time.”
Seonghyeon pulled out a sword from his bosom and stood in front of the wolf-type beast.
It was much less intimidating than when I first saw it.
The wolf-type beast spread its huge fangs and ran towards Seonghyeon.
The act of clearly feeling Seong-hyeon as a prey, not feeling cautious at all.
‘It sure looks slow.’
Seong-hyeon lightly turned to the side to avoid the mouth, and expected In-hwan’s back-attack from behind.
However, perhaps because of the lack of combat sense, there was no support for the attack that Seong-hyeon had expected.
“Inhwan…!”
In an urgent voice, I looked at Inhwan’s place and called his name, but there was a strange man standing there for the first time.
“Oh, I didn’t kill him, so don’t worry.”
“Who, who…”
I tried to ask who it was, but Seonghyeon couldn’t afford it yet.
The beast in front of him was running towards Seonghyeon again with his mouth wide open.
“haha! Seeing this, I don’t even need to go out. Why don’t you try to catch the beast in front of you first?”
The man sat on In-hwan as if he was having fun and said to Seong-hyeon.
Obvious arsenic, the man was definitely vigilant.
It is clear that even if the two of them fight together, they cannot defeat him, but one has already been dealt with, and the other was dealing with the beast.
“…”
Sunghyun looked at the man with his brows wrinkled.
He doesn’t seem to care about the beasts approaching him.
“Well? I gave up…”
The man erased the arsenic he had just kept and looked at Seong-hyeon with a questioning look.
In that state right now, it was clear that his body would be pierced by the huge fangs of the beast.
However, the situation he expected did not happen.
“What, what? Why are you there?”
The beast, who had been running fiercely as if he was about to tear Seong-hyeon’s limb, suddenly collapsed on the seat, whimpering whether he had even had an incurable disease.
“…what?”
But there was something even more surprising.
Seong-hyun was looking at himself without moving, as if he had expected something like this to happen.
“…well, it just got a little annoying.”
The man clicked his tongue once and pulled out a dagger from his arms.
“You have healing powers? He was very famous.”
“Is that why I should die?”
“die? who, you? Don’t worry too much. I will not kill you.”
The man’s eyes seemed to already regard Seong-hyeon as his own.
“okay? Then what will happen to me?”
“Are you curious? How about experiencing it yourself? If you follow me quietly, at least you won’t feel any pain. Oh, is the pain familiar? Or do you enjoy it?”
Sunghyun wrinkled his brow and looked at the man.
The man seemed to like that expression even more, and was showing a satisfied smile.
“Let’s stop chatting here.”
The man erased his smile and pointed the dagger at Seong-hyeon.
It seems to be foreshadowing that it will be over soon.
The man disappeared in an instant as if he had dealt with Inhwan.
The man’s ability is stealth.
It was a pretty useful ability to deal with beasts, but when stealth shined, it was when hunting people.
‘You don’t know anything either.’
The man went behind Seonghyeon while maintaining his hiding.
It was to the point of feeling sorry for the way he was still looking at the place he was standing.
“Please pass out for a moment.”
The man tried to hit Seong-hyeon’s back with the handle with his horse.
He couldn’t kill a person with healing powers, and if he took him to his organization and allowed him to use his powers, it was clear that he could expand his power even more than it is now.
Thanks to that, he was able to solidify his position as well.
As I unfolded this happy imagination, the pain that shattered the imagination began to flood in in an instant.
“Uhhh…!”
In pain of unknown cause, the man grabbed his chest and fell on the spot.
“Hey, this is great, what the hell…!”

My hands were trembling.
If I had known the cause, I would have removed it or even searched for a solution, but I was going crazy because it was just vaguely painful.
“Who made it?”
“uh?”
The man did not listen to Seonghyeon’s questions.
As soon as Sung-hyun asked a question, the pain disappeared like a ghost.
“Hey, this bastard…!”
The man was about to wield the dagger.
The unknown pain was only a brief accident, so there was nothing to take care of now to deal with the healer in front of me.
“Aww!”
But when he tried to swing the sword again, the pain came like a ghost.
In more pain than before, the man immediately lost the dagger he was holding and fell to the floor and started sweating.
“Who are you ordering? Say it.”
This time, as soon as Seong-hyun asked, the pain that seemed to tear his body disappeared.
As if someone was manipulating a supernatural phenomenon, the man was creeping in even the fear of the unknown.
“Hey, what is this…”
“Did you think I would go alone?”
“What, what?”
The man then looked around again.
But again, there was no one else.
All I could see nearby was a beast whining with foam in its mouth.
“If you find it, will it escort you?”
“Wow, as expected…!”
The man then understood the situation.
Around this area, there are a lot of powerful people who can’t grasp anything, let alone the presence with their abilities, attached as escorts.
“Ugh…!”
“Ask again, who did it?”
“I thought you would answer…”
Before the man’s answer could be finished, the pain came over.
“Aww! All right, all right! I know!”
The man finally opened his mouth in pain he never wanted to taste again.
“Heh, it’s Heo Tae-hyun.”
“Huh… Taehyun?”
Seong-hyeon immediately remembered the name Heo Tae-hyun.
‘If it’s Heo Tae-hyun… isn’t it the girl who follows Gu Sang-yeon?’
Perhaps it was because of the job that I was selected as the class representative to do this.
If you can’t go out, someone else will go out for you.
“Am I the target?”
“…okay.”
“But why Kang In-hwan…”
“Because it sucks. They told me to take care of it myself. Like I said before, it didn’t kill me. I just fainted.”
Seong-hyeon, having finished everything he could find out, gave strength to the sword he was holding lightly.
The man who saw it was shocked for a moment.
“Now the business is over.”
Seonghyun finished speaking and swung his sword.
The sensation of penetrating the skin along with the pounding sound was transmitted to the hand along the sword, and then dark red blood began to spurt from between the torn skin.
Seonghyeon put his hand through the torn skin.
Then he took out the crystal, put it in his pocket, and looked at the man and said:
“Are you all done?”
“Ah, uh, that, yes.”
The man got up from his seat and staggered backwards, then disappeared in the direction of the door.
Seong-hyeon approached In-hwan, who was still unconscious.
He looked around, but luckily there were no injuries.
“It doesn’t look like it needs treatment, but I’ll have to wait a bit.”
In the meantime, Seonghyeon washed off the smell of blood and took a seat next to Inhwan.
Fortunately, In-hwan came to his senses soon after.
“Ugh… what happened?”
“I was attacked by a beast.”
Sunghyun had no intention of telling the truth.
Inhwan didn’t have a purpose in the first place, so I thought there was no need to know about this.
“What, what? to the mage? ha…”
Inhwan wrinkled his brow at his carelessness.
“I couldn’t help it because it was attacked from behind.”
“okay? But why aren’t you okay…?”
“Fortunately, the hunters passing by helped me.”
“Huh… that’s good.”
“Let’s do this today. That would be good.”
“yes. great job.”
In-hwan and Seong-hyeon came out the door without any regrets.
Of course, I didn’t want to leave him alone.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
