chapter 7

[All selection time has passed.]
It wasn’t funny.
He had put strange restrictions on his undesirable abilities, and now he couldn’t even choose that.
‘…are you playing with it?’
Perhaps, if there was a god, he would be looking down on himself and grinning right now.
[A new quest is created as an unselected perk.]
[Are you sure you want to accept it?]
‘A new quest created?’
Seonghyun wrinkled his eyebrows at the window saying that he would give you a new quest rather than giving other options, without any explanation that there was a time limit as well as a window asking him to choose when he encountered a goblin after standing still.
‘Ha, there is no choice.’
Fortunately, it’s a quest.
If it was a quest, a reward would soon follow, so Sunghyun accepted it without much thought.
[Defeat 100 Beasts]
[0/100]
[This quest must be done alone. If you use healing during the quest, it will fail.]
[Reward: New Path]
‘It’s a new way.’
Considering that believers and paladins were just choosing the path, this time, the new path that the option said was a path that could only be taken by performing a quest.
‘That would mean better.’
Of course, it could be a penalty for not choosing, but Sunghyun decided to think more positively.
“there…”
“Oh, yes.”
“Thank you so much for today. How should I repay you?”
“it’s okay. Just consider yourself lucky.”
Seonghyeon couldn’t hear Hayeon’s words well.
I was just thinking about how to solve this new quest in the future.
“You saved my life, but how… if it’s okay with you, can you give me your number?”
“Oh, yes. And don’t worry too much about it. If it wasn’t for me, of course, anyone else who was there would have tried to save me.”
Fortunately, while Seonghyeon and Hayeon headed to the door, no other demonic beasts appeared.
Perhaps because of the smell of blood remaining in the puddle, the witch near the door seemed to have moved there too.
“Please go in carefully. I also have to go quickly, so I don’t think I can get you there.”
“Oh, no! Thank you so much for today. Then, Seong-hyun, please enter carefully.”
Ha-yeon bowed her head to Seong-hyeon and went back, and Seong-hyeon also bowed her head slightly and went into the store just before closing the door and disposed of the crystals obtained today.
“It’s ten thousand won…”
It was quite a lot of money for a short amount of time.
Compared to the 130,000 won earned by labor before returning, the profit is very high compared to the time.
However, at that time, if Seong-hyeon was injured even a little, the whole family was over, so there was no choice.
“Can we handle 100 before the academy?”
I had to deal with 100 animals without anyone’s help, without using their healing powers, so I guess I’d have to stay in the door all day.
There are only 4 days left until school starts.
They had to hunt 25 beasts a day to set foot on a new road before school started.
“Who is it?”
Sunghyun yawned loudly at the phone ringing since morning and answered the phone.
“hello?”
“I am the vice president.”
“Ah, hello.”
“You didn’t call too early, did you?”
At the words of the vice president, Sung-hyun checked the time.
‘Six o’clock in the morning…’
“Oh, yes. just woke up What more than that…?”
“We are going to release it to the press this evening. I called to see if I might have changed my mind, but…”
“There is no change. The association can handle it as you wish.”
Sung-hyun’s answer was firm, but the voice of the vice president over the receiver was full of worries and concerns.
“At the moment it is revealed to the media, regardless of the restrictions, at least Korean hunters and guilds will try to contact Seong-hyeon. Of course, the guards are blocking it now, but you can’t stay at home forever. Seong-hyeon too. family too.”
The vice president’s words were quite reasonable.
The vice president did not want one citizen and his family to suffer in order to raise the status of the country.
“Anyway, it’s already been decided.”
“…Then it’s 6pm today. Kim Seong-hyun will be revealed to the press.”
“All right.”
I didn’t have any close friends anyway, so I had no one to talk to except my family when it came to the media.
“Today, I have to subdue the beasts as much as possible from lunch and stay home in the evening.”
After lying down and fiddling with my phone, it was time for breakfast.
“Son, are you awake?”
With a pleasant voice, Seonghyeon got up from her seat and went out to the living room where the meal was prepared.
“Do you like your house?”
“It doesn’t matter if you like it or not. This is the house we live in thanks to our son. Of course I like it.”
Even though basic living expenses were guaranteed, Seong-hyeon’s mother continued to work.
“There… I have something to tell you.”
“what?”
“Oppa, something these days… I think people have become very heavy.”
“It’s iron. You get a little heavy too. Don’t just put on a lot of weight.”
“…cancellation.”
“Actually…I’ll be on TV today at 6 o’clock.”
“What?”
“what?”
The younger brother and mother dropped the spoons they used to cook the rice and looked at Seonghyeon.

My son and brother, who have lived a quiet life with no major accidents so far, are suddenly appearing on TV.
“I decided to reveal my abilities.”
“…that’s how it’s decided in the end.”
“really? So, will my brother become a celebrity now?”
“It wouldn’t be that much. It hasn’t been properly organized yet, so I won’t tell you everything.”
Sung-hyeon was not very worried about the association’s decision.
As the associations are those who have been fighting for the status of the country that is falling apart, they would know better than anyone how and how much to use this situation now.
“Anyway, that’s how it came out today, so you have to be careful in the future.”
“Yeah, I believe it because it’s your decision. Don’t worry too much. The number of guards is so high that there is no need to worry about thieves.”
“…”
Seonghyeon couldn’t raise her head the whole time during the meal, feeling apologetic.
The fact that the strength to protect your family comes from someone other than yourself came to me quite tragic.
‘…Let’s just hold on to the academy.’
Seonghyeon finished eating and started preparing to head straight to the door.
There are several gates all over the country, but the one I went to yesterday was the most suitable to fill the number of 100.
“Are you the vice president?”
This time, Sung-hyun checked his cell phone on the incoming call, but the number he saw for the first time in his life was stamped on it.
“…loan?”
Usually, there were a lot of loan-related calls at this time, so Seonghyeon took a deep breath and answered the phone.
“I don’t take a loan…”
“Ah… Isn’t that Kim Seong-hyun’s cell phone?”
Looking back at the familiar voice, it was Hayeon’s voice that she had saved yesterday.
“Oh, right. Are you Lee Ha-yeon?”
“Yes Yes! Right. I was wondering if you had a good time today…”
“What are you doing this for? Did you have any other problems?”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that, just in case you didn’t want to go with me to subjugation today.”
“ah…”
Normally, it would have been welcomed, but I couldn’t receive the newly received quest because it was something I had to hunt alone.
“sorry. For some reason…”
“Oh, no. I only saw you once yesterday, did I act too friendly? Have a good day!”
Ha-yeon hung up the phone quickly, and Seong-hyun finished preparing to head back to the door.
“I’ll be there before six.”
“Yeah, take care.”
“If it’s like this until 6 o’clock…”
Sunghyun looked at the window in front of him.
[Defeat the Beast 18/100]
It seems like he was hunting frantically, but the subjugation that started around lunch was only 18 during those few hours.
‘Too many variables.’
Since it was a completely open door to low-level hunters, there were a lot of other hunters, and above all, if the other hunter had even a single finger lifted, it would not count as 100.
“Oppa, was it news to be on TV?”
“It doesn’t matter. have you started?”
“Your brother’s name hasn’t been revealed yet, and there are rumors about his healing powers.”
At the words of his younger brother, Seonghyeon went straight to the living room.

My mother was already seated, and she was looking at the TV with a little nervous eyes.
[…Until now, there was no hunter related to the healing ability, but there was a news that a hunter with healing ability appeared in the information delivered by the association this morning.]
[The association said that it has decided not to disclose all the details of the hunter. According to the information released now, it is said that he is a male student in the first year of the academy.]
The association showed only small consideration for Seong-hyeon.
If both the name and face had been revealed, the general public, not hunters, would have been conscious of Seonghyeon, but fortunately that would not have happened.
“But then, doesn’t that mean that no one knows that you have powers?”
The younger brother looked a little dissatisfied.
At best, his brother had great powers in his hands, and I wondered what it would mean if no one knew about it.
“No, everyone knows anyway.”
“how?”
“You can find out by looking at people who have recently visited the re-expression center, and people who have been supported by the academy.”
“Then will everyone at the academy know?”
“Um… anyone who can see a list of visits to the re-emergence center and a list of academy applicants can tell. That is enough.”
As if it was a little difficult, the younger brother immediately turned his gaze back to the TV.
After completing the subjugation, Hayeon left the room refreshed after taking a shower.
“miss! How was the subjugation today?”
“It’s always the same. Some coffee, please.”
“yes!”
I habitually turn on the TV and sit on the sofa, and I hear unbelievable news on the news.
[With the advent of a hunter with healing power…]
“…What? Healing powers?”
Ha-yeon knew the weight of that ability very well, so she fixed her gaze on the screen half-passed.
‘Healing, maybe Seonghyun?’
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no one other than Seong-hyeon who thought it had healing powers.
Even if you brought any medicine or medicine that exists in the world right now, there was no way that could heal Hayeon’s wounds in a short time.
“I’ll leave you here.”
“Hey…”
“yes.”
“Academy Ability Regeneration Center and the list of people receiving scholarships from the academy, until when?”
“Well, that’s enough, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”
“please.”
Ha-yeon was already convinced.
However, I wanted to completely rule out the possibility that it might not be.
‘You were an academy student.’
Ha-yeon was also an academy student.
I was about to graduate after completing my first year course, but it seemed like I had a reason to stay longer.
