I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 135

With the subjugation schedule postponed, Seonghyun summoned the broadcasting station personnel and reporters to carry out his planned broadcast.

“The reason I’ve called you all here today is simple.”

Not only the broadcasting station staff but also the reporters stared at Seonghyun with anticipation.

What on earth was he going to say to gather everyone like this?

“From next Monday to the day after, I will heal those who come to the Association building.”

A moment of silence.

What impact would this statement have?

Patients from all over the country would begin to flock to the Association.

“Hunters and civilians alike, it doesn’t matter. Those with mobility issues… well, there’s nothing I can do. However, if you can make it here, I will heal you.”

Miraculous news for many.

There were rumors that Seonghyun didn’t actively use his abilities, and that experiencing their pain only led to complaints. People felt they couldn’t force him to act.

In this situation, the fact that he personally offered to heal them would undoubtedly create a huge ripple effect.

After Seonghyun finished speaking, those who had been staring blankly at him suddenly sprang into action.

“Immediately, immediately broadcast it!”

“Director! Release the article immediately!”

Within 10 minutes of Seonghyun’s announcement, the news was broadcast and reported extensively.

Of course, the reaction was explosive, beyond anything imaginable, as if a war had broken out.

He had provided two days for those coming from afar, but as soon as the broadcast aired, all transportation for today and the next day was completely sold out in just 7 minutes.

“Are you sure you’re alright?”

The vice-chairman’s voice was filled with worry.

Seonghyun felt the pain of those he healed, and to heal such a massive crowd, the amount of pain he would feel was unimaginable.

“It was something I had to do eventually. The timing is also right.”

“Well… since the die is cast [a point of no return], there’s nothing we can do.”

“The Association should prioritize patients, dividing them into those with critical conditions and those who are relatively well.”

“Understood.”

An event that could gather thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people.

The media described Seonghyun’s actions as performing a miracle, and preparations were immediately made to control traffic around the Association and welcome the people.

The day many were waiting for.

A week had passed since Seonghyun’s announcement, and from the day before, people were setting up tents and waiting to receive healing.

“Preparations are complete.”

The healing was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

Soon, as 9 a.m. arrived, Seonghyun’s voice began to flow through the speakers.

“I will now begin the healing.”

The gazes of people, mixed with anticipation, worry, and doubt, began to focus on the Association, and soon a huge rift appeared in the sky.

“… ?”

A rift that would seem like a door to ordinary people, filled with an ominous premonition.

The gazes that had initially been directed towards the Association shifted to the rift, and soon an unidentified liquid began to pour out of the rift as if it were bursting.

“Wh, what is that!”

“What’s going on…”

The liquid soaked them.

People looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, but as the patients they had brought began to heal, they were able to identify the liquid.

“E, Elixir…!”

The color was slightly different from the known elixir, but it was definitely an elixir based on the healing effects.

“The liquid you have been exposed to is a mass-produced elixir, so please do not shake it off or wash it away and wait.”

Not long after the Association’s announcement, people with relatively minor injuries and illnesses were completely healed.

“A miracle…”

“Thank you. Thank you so much…”

The commonality among them was that most of them lacked the money for treatment.

Many had diseases that could have been cured but were left untreated and became chronic.

Even though Seonghyun did not appear, people bowed towards the Association and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

Meanwhile, Seonghyun was appearing before patients who were deemed critical.

There was no need for speeches or preliminary work to stimulate their emotions.

There were still many people left to heal besides them, and some might have just started their journey.

Standing on the platform with his arms outstretched towards the sky and his eyes closed, he was dignified enough to evoke faith and even felt sacred.

Soon, a faint light spread over the people.

A light so faint that it couldn’t even match the flash of a camera, but a type of light that felt warmer than sunlight.

The warm light soon descended and began to envelop the bodies of the unconscious patients.

Most of them had underlying diseases or were unconscious rather than suffering from external injuries.

As the faint light fell, one by one they began to regain consciousness, and even though they didn’t know what was happening, they began to feel the light with their bodies.

“What’s going on?”

“Where am I…”

Those who had been unconscious for a short or long time.

They didn’t even know where they were or what had happened to them, but there was something they could definitely feel and know.

That this faint light was warm and cozy.

And that they could see the faces of their long-missed family and friends before their eyes.

Feeling the light on their bodies was only for a moment, and as they grasped the situation, tears of joy burst out from everywhere.

“Father!”

“Oh, Mom?”

Those who thought they would never see them again, those who hadn’t even realized the fact, had gained a new life today.

Until midnight the next day.

Seonghyun had healed a total of 87,000 people.

After healing this enormous number of patients, Seonghyun collapsed.

“Are you alright…?”

“…”

He had to answer the vice-chairman’s question, but he couldn’t even open his mouth.

Because of his ability to not lose consciousness, he couldn’t even faint and was enduring the immense pain with his body.

Even nodding his head or wiggling a finger felt like his heart was being stabbed with a knife, so Seonghyun could only lie down with his eyes closed.

Occasionally, he felt a touch similar to his mother’s, and Seonghyun could rest comfortably without anxiety, even with his eyes closed.

——————————————–

Seonghyun, who had collapsed due to healing, was barely able to get up on the morning of his departure.

“I hope everyone has a safe trip this time as well.”

With the association president and vice-president’s farewell filled with worry, the four top hunters boarded a plane to America.

‘It’s quieter than I thought.’

He wasn’t sure if the other three were still watching, but it was much quieter than he expected.

‘That means…’

They were either waiting for an opportunity and preparing something, or they hadn’t made a decision yet.

He hoped they would make a wise decision, but even if they made the wrong one, it didn’t matter.

“Should I get some sleep this time?”

There was still a faint trace of pain left, and it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to rest properly once he set foot in America.

The assassin hadn’t revealed anything about the mastermind, but given their level and the fact that the most active contact with Seonghyun had been in America, he couldn’t help but be suspicious.

‘It’s also a place that destroys what it can’t have.’

If only evidence would emerge to turn his suspicion into certainty, he could make a firm decision, so Seonghyun brushed aside his impatience and closed his eyes.

After a not-so-short flight, an announcement was made that they would be arriving soon.

Whether it was in his past life or this one, it was his first time setting foot in America.

Perhaps because of that, he felt quite excited as he got off the plane and looked around.

“They’ve arrived!”

“Waaah!”

Externally, top hunters receive thorough management from each country.

Thanks to this, top hunters are seen as a group of justice by the general public and most hunters.

Perhaps accustomed to this treatment, the top hunters from other countries who had arrived earlier smiled and waved lightly as they passed by.

“It’s Kim Seonghyun!”

“Waaah!!”

Soon, it was Seonghyun’s turn to appear.

A cheer even louder than the one just heard erupted.

To them, Seonghyun, with his healing abilities, was almost like a god.

In addition to admiration and welcome for the top hunter, there was also reverence.

Seonghyun also waved to them as he passed by.

The moment he entered a place where reporters, the general public, and hunters couldn’t see, sharp gazes began to focus on Seonghyun.

“…The welcome is intense.”

Some of the top hunters who had arrived earlier were waiting there.

They weren’t waiting because of Seonghyun.

The reason everyone gathered and moved together was to show others that the top hunters had a close relationship.

“A healing hunter, huh…”

“I’ve seen the videos, but he’s younger than I thought.”

Externally, Seonghyun’s magic power was known to be at the average level of a top hunter.

One of the many things Seonghyun had hidden was the amount of his magic power.

“Are you Kim Seonghyun?”

The hunter with the largest build among them, who ranked high among the top hunters with pure force alone.

Russia’s Padron spoke to Seonghyun.

“Yeah.”

Nearly 2 meters tall, with arms as thick as other people’s waists, he exuded a sense of intimidation just from his appearance, and the constant killing intent he emitted amplified this intimidation several times over.

“Really? What a cocky bastard.”

He was making it clear that he didn’t like him, but Seonghyun didn’t even blink and stared directly into Padron’s eyes.

“Don’t you know who I am?”

“How would I know if you didn’t introduce yourself?”

Of course, it was a lie.

There was no way he wouldn’t know Padron, who maintained a high ranking among the top hunters.

There was a reason why Seonghyun was acting like this.

Padron, who had an aggressive and even fanatical tendency, was the type of person who would devour you the moment you showed any weakness or retreated.

“Huh, what a funny bastard. Doesn’t know Padron?”

The surrounding hunters were watching them with great interest.

Even the top hunters of South Korea couldn’t match Padron’s strength, so they couldn’t step in.

Of course, they didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

“Ah, Padron. I’ve heard of you.”

“And yet your attitude is like this?”

Padron was so dumbfounded by Seonghyun’s gaze, which looked up at him without any fear, that he wasn’t even angry.

‘His magic power is just average, what is he relying on?’

No matter how he thought about it, could there be anything behind the cocky hunter in front of him other than the fact that he had the world’s only healing ability?

“It seems like my healing will be needed soon, so don’t be too aggressive. There’s a chance I won’t do it even if you beg.”

“What? You cocky little brat…!”

In an instant, a tremendous amount of magic power began to condense in his fist.

But the magic power lost its way and disappeared into the air at the sound of a voice.

“Let’s stop there.”

The voice of a hunter who had been watching the whole process.

“That hunter’s physical condition doesn’t seem to be the best.”

“…”

He was skilled enough to recognize that Seonghyun still had the pain of healing left in his body.

And if it was a person with that level of skill, there was only one hunter who came to mind.

Rich, the world’s number one hunter.

The only necromancer.
