Became the Only Healer in the Academy

8

[According to the information released by the Association, Hunters with healing powers have side effects.]

[What are the side effects?]

[According to the person with the ability, the healed target suffers fully.]

“…What?”

Hayeon, who was about to drink coffee, stopped and stared at the screen as she was holding a cup.

“Are you feeling the pain?”

He had already received grace just by using his healing powers, but it was obvious that people would be reluctant to fully accept the pain.

“…if it’s a healing ability, it’s completely understandable that there are side effects like that.”

Although there are doctors and hospitals dedicated to Hunter, they are divided because there are too many people to the end, and there is not much difference in level.

The wounds received by the Beasts were not just torn and bursting.

Part of the body is basically cut off, and there are many cases where the body rots due to poisoning with magic.

Of course, since the advent of the gate, mankind has eliminated all restrictions that have been restricted for humanitarian reasons.

However, there was a limit to completely restoring the body that was cut off, and the current limit was to prevent the progression of the rotten body.

The appearance of a person with the ability to heal in such a poor situation did not simply mean raising the national status.

Battles with the beasts that have continued until now, long battles with no end in sight.

To put it a little exaggeration, it was to breathe new wind and hope into the exhausted human race itself.

“Come to think of it… he was grabbing one arm even though the wound wasn’t visible.”

All the circumstances were pointing to Seong-hyeon as a healer.

All that was left was to verify this conviction.

Seonghyeon subjugated the demons until just the day before school started.

“after…”

From the time I woke up in the morning to midnight, when the activities of the beasts became more active, except for the time to eat, I hunted without skipping a single day.

[Defeat the Beasts 63/100]

It wasn’t disappointing, and I couldn’t clear the quest to the extent that it wasn’t enough.

‘It is very difficult to hunt alone.’

They weren’t that strong, so I thought it would be easy to achieve, but there were too many beasts that were attacked by other hunters than I thought.

’37 must be caught slowly.’

There were restrictions on the use of abilities, so I had no intention of achieving it easily.

That didn’t mean I didn’t get anything.

“I feel like my body has become much lighter, is it because of my mood?”

Compared to when he just returned, his physical condition has changed significantly.

Compared to the state of his body just before returning, he was much lighter and full of energy now.

“…I feel like I’m on target.”

He gave me the quest to kill the beast, and he even walked with the limitations of his abilities.

Giving him the quest to kill the beasts alone without anyone’s help didn’t seem to be just the intention to increase the difficulty.

“Are you trying to improve your physical abilities?”

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed right.

Healing ability, commonly called healer, has the biggest commonality is that their ability to protect their own body is significantly inferior compared to others.

“Whatever your intentions are, for now, I know that these are for me.”

I don’t know what to throw in the future, but for now, Seong-hyeon decided not to have any doubts because it was only for Seong-hyeon’s development.

“Tomorrow is the opening of the academy.”

When I thought about going back, I felt like I was floating in the air.

A place where talent was recognized and entered, but ironically, in the end, it was judged that he lacked talent and graduated as if abandoned.

Instead of getting support, I had to go back to where I had to give my all.

“…well, it’ll be alright.”

It was already late at night, and since the beast subjugation had just gone, Seonghyeon immediately fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

*

“I will go. And take a little break from work. I don’t even have to leave now.”

Before going to the academy, Seonghyeon said to her mother in a slightly worried voice.

“If you don’t do that, you won’t be bored. go now I will be late.”

“…I will go.”

Sunghyun left the house without saying a word.

The distance from my house to the academy was only about 5 minutes.

The academy building, which had not been visited since the re-appearance, welcomed Seong-hyeon, and there were quite a few other students going to school differently from that day.

“Hey, did you see the news?”

“Are there any healers?”

“Yeah, now I want to raise Korea’s status a little bit. I was pushed every time.”

“If you have the healing ability, of course it will be higher, but because of the side effects…”

The topic of conversation not only with this group but also with the other students was that of a healer.

‘As expected, there is a lot of talk about side effects.’

“But if there are side effects like that, should I use my abilities…? They say they take pain instead.

“Besides, they say that big wounds are difficult, so will it be nothing more than to raise the status of the nation?”

The side effects and limitations were also reported, so there were not many positive responses.

But Sunghyun didn’t really care.

What we need to do now is to make up for the side effects of our abilities as much as possible.

‘It was this way.’

Seonghyeon headed to his classroom in his memory.

There weren’t many students in the classroom, probably because I came a little earlier than the original time.

At the same time as Seong-hyeon’s position, everyone’s eyes focused on Seong-hyun for a moment, but soon dispersed again and started doing what they were doing.

‘Does no one in the students know me yet?’

If so, that was rather good.

I didn’t have to receive any kind of attention, and it didn’t really matter if people knew about it.

Seong-hyeon soon returned to his seat and prepared for today’s class.

“Did everyone arrive?”

Not long after, a man with a familiar face entered the classroom.

Ki-hyeok Hwang, the homeroom teacher in Seong-hyeon’s freshman year, and a professor who graded students according to the value of their abilities.

Thanks to this homeroom teacher, Seonghyeon’s first year life was completely twisted.

I still couldn’t forget what the homeroom teacher said to Seong-hyeon on the first day of school.

‘Ability is critical? Huh… that’s bad.’

As if he had seen something he couldn’t see, the gaze he looked down at Seonghyeon in front of everyone with his brows wrinkled remained as a trauma that he couldn’t forget.

From that day on, Seong-hyun received the lowest score every time.

It didn’t matter how hard Seonghyun worked or what kind of results he showed.

It wasn’t even an ability that was helpful in battle in the first place, and if information about the beasts piled up, it was a useless ability.

But now, such a homeroom teacher was looking at Seong-hyeon very blatantly.

It’s like discovering something big.

The homeroom teacher, who made eye contact with Seonghyeon for a moment, turned away and pointed to the screen.

“…today we start a briefing on the new door.”

The academy was only the academy in its name.

In fact, it was mainly about combat and tactics rather than theoretical lessons, to the extent that the word military is more appropriate.

“The new gates that have been opened in the metropolitan area this week are one level 4 and five level 5 doors. Among them, the door through which we have to go through subjugation is level 5.”

In the academy, it was often the case that one raid was created for each class and went out to subjugate.

Here, Seong-hyeon’s position was, of course, the position of the buffer/debuffer, and was located in the center of the raid, so all he had to do was to utilize his existing ability to identify the vital points.

At best, it was Seonghyeon’s job to inform them of the vital points of the beasts and fill the void by attaching to the back of the front row.

‘Wait, level 5 subjugation?’

Seonghyun quickly recalled his memories.

The big things that happened after entering the academy were not to be forgotten, and the memories of the first subjugation after school started belonged to this big thing.

The 5th grade gate, the destination of this subjugation, was the habitat of the goblins.

It must have been difficult for goblins to go in groups to subdue alone, but since the Academy was also a raid, it was decided that it was a suitable place for the first subjugation.

‘…In this subjugation, 1/3 of the students died.’

Occasionally, the door would mutate, and sometimes there was an error in the measurement of the door’s rating.

And unfortunately, the hopeful first subjugation of the first graders of the academy was an unprecedented event in which mutation, the rarest chance, occurred.

Again, the results were disastrous.

When the subjugation team entered, the door mutated and the goblins became stronger.

The goblin habitat was turned into the center of a large goblin tribe, and in the end, the raid had to wage war, not subjugation.

Originally, there should have been only goblin warriors, but due to mutation, a goblin tribe leader appeared, and the physical abilities themselves were not so different.

If the association that had noticed the mutation had not come out with support, not one-third, but all of them could have been annihilated.

‘I can’t change the schedule.’

It wasn’t something that could be solved by swarming.

To change the academy’s schedule, we had to bring proof that it was appropriate, but we couldn’t come up with evidence of something that had not happened yet.

‘Before you go to subjugation, you must go directly to the Association.’

All they could do was ask the association for support in advance.

Fortunately, if Seong-hyeon’s position was right now, it was possible to make such a request.

“The first subjugation schedule is next week. Until then, classes related to improving basic combat skills and classes on how to use abilities will be conducted so that everyone can focus on it.”

Before leaving the classroom, the homeroom teacher stared straight at Seong-hyeon and said.

“…If you have something to say, come to me.”

Contrary to what he said, his eyes seemed to ask him to come to the office because he had something to say.

‘I was going to go anyway.’

There was something to be clear about with the homeroom teacher, so Seong-hyeon went straight to the office as if everything went well.

*

‘Were you in the same class…?’

Hayeon fixed her gaze on Seonghyeon from the back seat.

I already knew that I was an academy student, but I never thought that I would be in the same class again.

‘Why didn’t I know…’

Even if you look at the healing ability, you could not know if it was Seonghyeon’s level of ability.

Of course, he didn’t directly witness the battle scene, but under the circumstances, it was Seong-hyeon’s work alone to defeat the goblins that were chasing him.

It was a fact that all the people knew that the standard for admission to the academy was pure talent.

However, as it was an ability that appeared at the age of 20, the usefulness and combat sense were quite lacking compared to other hunters, but Seonghyeon did not have such a thing.

‘I want to investigate a little more, but…’

Upon further investigation here, it was not polite to the person who saved his life.

You just need to figure out who you are and if you are not being unreasonable.

Ha-yeon looked at Seong-hyeon’s back as she headed to the office for a moment, then headed to the training room where the class would be held.
