“If we go on like this, the status of Korea will gradually decline. You don’t know.”
“Yes, but…”
In the early days of opening, Korea had the highest status in the world.
The abilities of each hunter were the best in subjugating the gate.
However, the Hunters were constantly growing beings.
Korea’s top hunters had a clear limit to their growth, but their initial abilities were huge.
As a result, the status of the Republic of Korea was gradually declining.
“Undoubtedly, Kim Seong-hyun will also grow in ability someday. Besides, as an academy student, I can get the full support and speed it up.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Where is the Academy? It is the best educational institution in Korea and a place where preliminary combat power is concentrated.”
“I trust that the person in charge will take care of the problems on the academy side. I will take charge of the association side.”
We shared a handshake with a lot of meaning and determined eyes.
“However, shouldn’t we first listen to Kim Seong-hyun’s own opinion?”
“of course. Since I am in the association, may I ask the person in charge at the academy for a favor?”
“Don’t worry. We will talk as best we can.”
The two representatives harbored a smile of hope for the rising status of the Republic of Korea in the future.
“I’m here to apply for academy support.”
Sung-hyun headed to the academy application department.
When I handed over the documents from the re-expression center, the person in charge looked at Seong-hyeon for a moment in surprise, but he didn’t ask for anything else and immediately started to deal with something.
About 10 minutes passed like that, and the person in charge came and told Seonghyun.
“Is it better to be closer to the academy?”
“yes? What?”
“The house.”
At the word home, Sunghyun looked at the person in charge with blank eyes for a moment.
“Ah, don’t you know about the supported items?”
“Oh, yes. I didn’t know or do anything about it.”
It was a long way from the original, so there were parts that I wasn’t interested in at all.
There were some things that I did not recognize on purpose because I thought that I would be jealous or envious of the people who were applying for nothing.
“Let me explain briefly. All academic fees are waived for all semesters of the academy, and scholarships are always provided as long as the failing points are avoided. If you have a license, you will be paid for a car, and as you just heard, we will pay for your home.”
“her…”
I thought it would be pretty amazing, but it was a support that far exceeded Seonghyun’s thoughts.
To be honest, I expected that I would be grateful if the tuition fee was waived.
“And depending on your abilities, you can also get equipment support. You must discuss this with the association directly.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Then I would like the house closer to the academy.”
“How many people are there in your family?”
“There are three in total, including my brother, my mother, and me.”
“Um… Then we’ll coordinate the security personnel.”
“Go, thank you.”
Hearing that there is even a security guard, Seonghyeon thought it was a good idea to apply for a re-appearance.
Seonghyeon’s house, where it is now located, is a place called Daldongne, so there were no worries.
“Would you like to see a house the size of three people near your house…?”
“Is that okay?”
To Sung-hyun’s question, the person in charge laughed and answered.
“Isn’t there another word that must be decided by the person to buy?”
“Haha, that’s right.”
“Please take a look around when you have time and let me know when you decide. Oh, I will tell the association separately, so you can visit it when you feel comfortable.”
The person in charge handed Seong-hyeon a map showing the location of the house he could choose from.
“Yes. thank you.”
Seonghyeon lightly bowed her head and came out.
“after…”
For some reason, I felt strange because it felt like today was the happiest moment in my life so far.
“I heard that there is equipment support, so I don’t think there is a need to buy it separately…”
Seonghyeon wanted to develop this ability as quickly as possible.
It wasn’t a meaningful intention to save all the hunters in the world, but at least I didn’t want to see them die because of late treatment.
Even if they were moving for money, they were doing their job to save people as long as they killed the beast that came out of the door.
“I think I need to raise my proficiency first.”
The problem was the method of training.
Since the ability he originally had was to grasp the vital point, there was no way to train other than to train the body, so there was no point in the situation.
“The method is too extreme…”
In order to use the newly acquired treatment, it inevitably needed a wound.
However, when I cut my body with a knife for training, it felt like I was doing something wrong.
“In the end, there is only one way.”
There was only one option.
To go directly to subjugate the beast.
“I don’t know how the association and the academy will come out.”
I don’t know if I’ll make it public or not, but I’m sure I’ll at least consult with him before that.
Because there was no fool who could go against the heart of a rare capable person.
“I have no choice but to hunt alone.”
If they refused to disclose it to the media, it was of no use because they could not use their abilities even after entering the guild and subjugating them.
And since there was only about a week left anyway, the procedure for entering the guild and starting subjugation were quite tight.
“I have to check the house to move to today. Shall we leave tomorrow?”
It seemed like tomorrow morning and afternoon, I could get equipment support from the association and go to subjugation at night.
In the case of a gate with a remarkably low risk, the association made it possible to enter at all times for the growth of lower-ranking hunters, so Seonghyeon would be able to train without any problems.
The schedule for today and tomorrow must also be decided, Seonghyun took out the map he had received earlier to check the house.
All of them were located only about 5 minutes away from the academy.
Seonghyeon immediately grabbed a taxi and headed to the nearest house first.
“Is that good enough?”
A house of a suitable size for three people was welcoming Seonghyeon.
Neither too wide nor too narrow was quite close to the house that Sung-hyun had dreamed of.
“This would be enough. Even if my mother told me not to go to work, she would only know the answer.”
Sung-hyun entered the house and looked inside the house with an unknown expression.
“…”
I had only worked for nearly 5 years after graduating to try to live in a place like this, but I felt a sense of emptiness when I got it so easily at once.
“The interior… Hyein will take care of it.”
Seonghyeon smiled lightly and left the house, seeing her brother and mother already excited.
Sunghyun took out his wallet and checked the money.
Only 3,000 won.
“…let’s buy some meat.”
Today, there was nothing that could not be eaten like last time, so Seong-hyeon headed to the last butcher shop he went to before returning.
“welcome! What can I give you?”
“Give me 30,000 won worth of beef sirloin.”
Seonghyeon, who received the black envelope, headed home with light steps, unlike his hands.
“I’m here. I’m home.”
“Did you eat?”
“no. Instead of…”
Seong-hyun handed the envelope in his hand to his mother.
“What is this?”
“It’s meat. It seems like I haven’t eaten in a while.”
“He’s really…”
“What? meat?”
At the word meat, the younger brother in the room also ran out.
“Wow! is it beef? What money did you buy meat with?”
“Let’s eat together after I wash up. I have something to say.”
At the words that they had something to say, the faces of the younger brother and mother hardened a little.
“So, what are you talking about, brother?”
In response to his brother’s question, Seonghyeon put down the meat he had picked up and said.
“Come on, let’s move.”
“…move?”
“Are you moving? What do you mean?”

My brother and mother were worried that they would lose this house for a moment, but there was no way that there could be a worse house here, so I looked at Seonghyeon with a questionable expression.
“Mom already knows, but in fact, my ability has re-expressed.”
“What? really?”
“Yeah, and that ability is… healing.”
“Chi, treatment? I’m serious?!”
Although his younger brother was not a Hunter, he knew very well that there were no Hunters with healing-related abilities in the world.
“That’s why I’m on my way to the academy today to report the re-emergence of my abilities. Then I applied for the application right away, and they said they would find a house near the academy.”
“Gee, home?!”
The younger brother was still unable to control his joy as Seong-hyun expected, but his mother was a little different.
He was looking at Sunghyun with a slightly hardened expression to see if there was something to be worried about.
“Will the academy ask for something or not…?”
“it’s okay. I will not make unreasonable demands, even in order to use my abilities.”
His mother’s worries were the same as Seonghyeon’s.
Seong-hyeon was also not ignoring the problem, but he couldn’t forcefully use Seong-hyeon’s abilities anyway, so he wouldn’t make unreasonable demands.
‘I could use a little extreme method, but…’
However, whatever choice he made, as long as he decided to reveal it, it was a risk that would follow, so Seong-hyun decided to choose to prepare rather than worry about the problems.
“Can we move in before school starts?”
“…Mom is a little worried.”
“Mom. No matter where you go…it will be safer than here.”
It wasn’t just about the environment.
I couldn’t stay in this house any longer because the last thing I had experienced in my previous life had already been met by the Demon Beast.
‘Because I’m different…’

Moreover, in the future, Seong-hyeon would take a different path than before, and if that happens, another threat may come.
And Seonghyeon knew better than anyone that the guards that the academy deployed were not just for protection.
Still, the reason I couldn’t turn down the offer was because of the last moments that still linger in my mind.
“Yeah… I can’t live here forever.”
Her mother didn’t want to hold onto Seong-hyeon’s ankle.
Even if Seong-hyun said this without consulting now, he knew very well that he was worried about his younger brother and himself, not just wanting to live in a spacious place, so moreover, I couldn’t refuse Seong-hyun’s words.
“Eat now. It will all cool off.”
“Yeah, Mom. let’s eat You haven’t eaten anything.”
For 30,000 won, the amount was quite a lot, and even though all three families were full, there was still some meat left.
“I will go.”
“Go and be careful.”
“Call me if anything happens.”
“No worries.”
Originally, I was going to check that the moving center had arrived, but today was a bit of a busy day.
He had to move in the morning because he was planning to go out to subdue the beasts, so Seonghyeon was worried about his mother, who was left alone.
“Would you be able to receive support for those who are contacted immediately in case of an emergency?”
The academy received a high level of support, but what about the association?
Seong-hyeon headed straight to the association with some expectations.
