Became the Only Healer in the Academy

31

“Applause to our class heroes!”

Upon arriving at the class, the classmates started applauding along with the teacher’s words.

Some with sincerity, others with expressionless faces.

It was probably the homeroom teacher’s job.

“Hmm, so the class representative competition…can we expect a little bit?”

The homeroom teacher thought about the time when he was selected to represent the Academy.

Just last year, the class that became the academy representative received unparalleled support.

both for the class and for the teacher.

‘If it’s the ability you showed yesterday, it’s worth looking forward to! Then you can pass the salary cut in a funny way.’

Seong-hyeon looked at the homeroom teacher with a pathetic eye, who could clearly see what he was thinking, and then went back to his seat.

Certainly, the person in the class who looked hostile or similar to Seong-hyeon completely disappeared.

Because their leader, Goo Goo-yeon, was close enough to be considered Sung-hyun’s friend.

Goo Goo-yeon, who made eye contact for a moment, wrinkled her brow and said.

“…why are you looking at me like that?”

Seonghyun responded with a light smile.

‘Now the academy doesn’t seem to care.’

At least in the same class.

After finishing today’s class, Seonghyeon was now going to the door as usual for the daily quest that he had to clear every day.

“Didn’t I tell you to get to know me properly?”

“Well, that was all…! I’ve seen everything I can see!”

As I was about to leave the academy to go to the door, I heard a voice coming from the place where I first had a conversation with Goo Koo.

“why? What’s going on?”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon asked if they could not hear the voice, looking at Seong-hyeon, who stopped in place, curiously, and Seong-hyeon shook her head and answered.

“No, would you like to go first?”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Seong-hyeon, who sent In-hwan and Sang-yeon first, went to the source of the voice.

Seonghyeon, who was seated in a position that could not be seen from the inside, concentrated on the voices coming from inside the alley.

“Why don’t you make excuses in the best way? You could have seen enough with your abilities, but you didn’t lie to fuck me.”

“Gee, isn’t it real? I told you everything I could see with my abilities…!”

For some reason, a familiar voice was heard.

‘This voice, who was it?’

Looking back on my memory a little, it was the person I met yesterday.

It was Hwang Ui-hyeon who won against Goo Goo-yeon, who went berserk.

“I know your abilities, but I told you everything? Where do you bastards gossip?”

“It’s not that…!”

The sound that followed was not a voice, but a slap on something.

once, twice.

When the continuous sound was over, a voice mixed with a different painful moan was heard.

“Gee, it’s true…”

“Huh…if you had just informed me, at least you could have escaped from me. right?”

“I, please…”

‘Is it because of yesterday’s battle?’

I don’t know the exact details, but if you think about what has happened recently that Hwang Ui-hyeon could be so angry with, there was nothing other than the match that took place yesterday.

“You seem to have misunderstood something, and now you don’t have a chance.”

“Ha, but I definitely did what I was told! I mean, I went to an assassination guild for the first time in my life! You know it all!”

‘Assassination Guild? Wasn’t it Heo Tae-hyun’s commission? Apparently, that hunter was commissioned by Heo Tae-hyun.’

Things seemed odd.

Are there other beings behind them, or are they related from the beginning?

“Hey, did you go and make a request? I was just asking a few questions. We also take samples.”

“That, but…!”

“stop! If you’re going to talk bullshit, shut up. I can kill you right here right now if you want to.”

‘Sampling…’

Unknown words kept popping out, and Seonghyeon focused more on their conversation.

“Huh… yes, I understand. That’s the limit of your abilities, what more can I do?”

“That, right?”

“Well, then your usefulness will end there.”

“Ui, Uihyun-ah…?”

Hwang Eui-hyun started to come out of the alley as if he had finished everything he had to say.

Seong-hyeon hid herself and waited for Hwang Ui-hyun to pass by.

“I…what did I do so wrong?”

A voice close to despair could be heard from inside the alley.

It was the voice of a person who had already given up a lot, and it was also the voice of a person who would give up a lot in the future.

“haha…”

I heard the sound of laughter rather than laughter, and from the inside of the alleyway I looked up slightly and looked at, I could only see him sitting down in his seat, already covered in rags, spitting out a disappointing laugh.

“Was the academy like this?”

Obviously, it was an academy with only adults, but there were some who didn’t look like adults at all.

“…I don’t think I need to help.”

A clumsy intervention would have rather bad results.

However, he couldn’t help with everything.

If you are not prepared to take responsibility until you graduate from the academy, or even after that.

Seonghyeon, who had been thinking for a while whether to heal her wounds, gave up and turned around, thinking that revealing her appearance now seems to make her opponent even more miserable.

“I thought it would be over when I entered the academy…”

Seongwook, who sat down in the alleyway, looked up at the sky and smirked.

He went through similar things until high school and middle school, but at the age of only 20, his ability blossomed and his talent was recognized and he entered the academy.

At that time, everything was happy.

He was happy to meet the person who had bullied him in the past, and he was just happy when he was in the hospital for several weeks after being in a car accident.

As soon as school starts, a new life will unfold. I thought that all the unfortunate past was just a chrysalis, and the moment the academy opened would be the moment of bloom.

However, that was Seongwook’s mistake.

The ability he possessed was only useful at first, and it was impossible to increase his proficiency while continuing his academy life.

“When you get home…what will you think?”

In the past, not long after school started, I had a lot of scars on my body and when I returned home, people with outstanding talents gathered and argued that they had a fight.

After that, when I returned home with several injuries, my parents didn’t ask Sung-wook about the cause anymore.

Like when I was in middle and high school, I didn’t answer any questions.

Seongwook, who had been sitting in the alley for a while, got up from his seat with a look of giving up on many things.

“…let’s go.”

When I came out of the alley with a tired and broken body and a more broken mental state, an unexpected person was welcoming Seongwook.

“Kim…Seonghyun?”

Seong-hyeon, who was about to go home, was caught in the ankle by the strange sense of unity and waited nearby for Seong-wook.

“You… your body…”

When he showed the reaction as if he had seen it for the first time, Sung-wook answered with an excited expression, trying to erase the expression full of despair.

“Haha, well, it’s a common fight.”

“How long have you been fighting? What else is your name?”

“It’s Kang Sung-wook.”

After Sung-wook’s answer, there was a moment of silence, and Seong-hyeon looked at Seong-wook and asked carefully.

“Would you like me to treat you?”

“yes? Oh… it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Knowing that Sung-hyeon felt the subject’s pain instead, Sung-wook refused treatment.

There was a reason why he was reluctant to let others know the pain he was feeling right now.

“uh? Gee, it’s really good…”

However, Seong-hyeon cured Seong-wook.

The last words Seongwook uttered kept ringing in my ears, and I couldn’t pass it up.

‘I have to go home… well’

Parents are the ones who are worried even if they leave the house for a while, but how heartbreaking it would be to go home with such scars.

“thank you…”

“Thank you.”

Another moment of silence lingered.

The silence grew longer and was about to turn into a little awkwardness, when Seongwook spoke.

“Even a drink…”

“drink. good.”

They bought drinks at a nearby convenience store and headed to the park bench.

“Is your body okay?”

It was Seongwook who said this.

Because I didn’t feel any pain from the treatment.

“Ah, what is this? get used to it.”

Seongwook said with a bitter smile when he said he was used to it.

“Why can’t I get used to it?”

“You can’t get used to it.”

“yes?”

Sung-wook looked at Seong-hyeon with puzzled eyes at the words he had never expected.

“I have to get used to it. You are not.”

“…”

Seongwook realized that he had made a mistake.

I didn’t know if I just had a special ability and looked at it with an enviable, maybe a little bit of envy.

However, there was a big difference in the pain between Seong-hyeon and Seong-wook.

It was the same as not wanting pain, but if it was the pain that Seongwook would experience someday, it was said that Seonghyeon would have to live with pain for the rest of his life.

“There are not only good points.”

“right. I don’t know if you know, but my ability before the re-appearance was to grasp the vital points.”

Sung-wook also confessed his abilities to the word “figuring out the vital points”.

“My ability is to grasp ability. Make it possible to understand the abilities of the subject.”

“Know your abilities…”

Regardless of the circumstances, Sung-hyeon felt sympathy for Seong-wook, who felt similar to him.

Similar to identifying the vital points, the ability to grasp is the ability to become obsolete when more than a certain level of information is accumulated.

‘At least it was better than me.’

It was a better ability than Seong-hyeon, considering that it could be used quite universally even for a hunter.

But in the academy, it was like an acorn height.

“If you could identify the vital points… it would have been similar to me.”

He was one of the few people who could understand that he came back as the academy that he had entered with high expectations, and returned as a shackle that seized their time.

“I am just a lucky person. But I don’t think there is anything that can be overcome by luck alone.”

If someone else had said it, I would have thought it was easy, but when someone with a past similar to me said this, I felt like I could really do anything.

“…thank you.”

“Now let’s go.”

Seong-hyeon and Seong-wook got up from the bench and drank the rest of their drinks at the same time and went their separate ways.

‘Yes, no matter how hard it is…’

As I was about to arrive at my house with very little hope, a familiar voice came from under the light of a street lamp.

“Why are you here now?”

“Ui, Euihyun?”

It was Hwang Eui-hyun waiting near Seong-wook’s house.

“Did you see that we had a very intimate conversation?”

“Oh, misunderstood…”

“Your condition is too neat to be a misunderstanding? Why did Kim Seong-hyun treat you, who has nothing to do with you?”

“Well, that’s…”

“I think we should talk a little more.”

Ui-hyeon was making an expression she had never seen before.

The expressionless expression, not the smirk, the expression of anger or anger, which was often seen.

Seongwook had no choice but to chat with Uihyun in the alleyway near his house.

A slightly different kind of conversation.
