I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 305

Extra Story 2

“I’ll go wash up.”

Seonghyun went into the bathroom, leaving Liche and his mother alone.

“I was wondering when you’d bring her. You finally brought her.”

“Yes? Haha… Is that so?”

Until recently, he was the world’s number one hunter.

There was no way Seonghyun’s mother wouldn’t know, and seeing such a person so nervous and flustered made her laugh.

“What do you like about my son?”

“Well, that’s…”

Thanks to his nervous appearance, she threw out a few playful questions.

“Don’t be so nervous. The fact that my son brought you here himself is practically like giving me a notice.”

“A notice?”

“Yes. Like, ‘I’ve decided on this person.’ Something like that?”

“That’s…”

Looking at Liche’s reddened cheeks with a satisfied smile, his mother started a conversation with Liche.

She asked how they first met and whether she had family.

‘…Comfortable.’

The feeling of family after a long time.

He had felt a sense of family from his uncle in America, but the feeling from his mother was quite different.

Feeling the comfort from his mother that he had never felt before, his tense body relaxed, and a natural smile began to appear on his face.

Moreover, the vague fear that ordinary people have towards hunters…

He didn’t feel that from his mother.

‘Is it thanks to Seonghyun?’

It was good to be strong, but only moderately so. But since her son had the power to be called a demigod, she might not think much even if she saw a hunter who was quite strong.

“You’ve become close already?”

Seonghyun, who had finished washing up, joined them.

“If you’re going to become close anyway, isn’t it better to become close quickly?”

“That’s true.”

He had already eaten, so he didn’t eat with them, but they ate fruit together and talked.

Seonghyun’s mother already seemed to like her, and Liche also had a subtle smile, as if she liked the current atmosphere.

“Come visit anytime.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Quite ordinary conversations took place, and no progressive or serious stories were exchanged.

However, both Seonghyun’s mother and Liche seemed confident in their choices.

After that day, Liche often visited the house with Seonghyun.

She also met Seonghyun’s younger sister, Hyein.

Of course, the reaction was explosive.

Hyein, who still regularly went to the gym, had Liche, who was like her idol, appear before her eyes.

After that intense first meeting, Hyein would nag Seonghyun every time she saw him, as if telling him to come to a conclusion quickly.

While Seonghyun was spending time with his family, Inhwan was spending time for the guild.

“This time, the bodyguard target is a long-term contract for two years. Director Park Hanwook requested it, specifically naming you.”

“Me, specifically?”

“Yes. Your performance last time was leaked through the media.”

He had perfectly blocked the attacks flying towards the bodyguard target with a single blow, so it was a skill that was worth becoming a hot topic.

“And Director Choi Hoon.”

“Yes.”

“How many assassination requests have you received?”

“I just accepted them as they came.”

“Hoo… I can’t cancel the requests you’ve already received, but I will personally receive and decide on Director Choi Hoon’s requests.”

“Yes. I understand.”

He was just someone who moved for the sake of the guild and Seonghyun, so even though he was an early member, they still didn’t know what he was thinking, but it was certain that he was a reliable person.

And although they had rejected the merger, there was a place that had requested it again.

Previously, the association was in charge of assigning inquiries, so they could survive even without a guild leader, but now they had to survive through perfect competition, so it wasn’t easy.

Naturally, Seonghyun’s guild began to monopolize the market in Korea.

“Then, would you like to be in charge, Hayeon?”

“Me? Would that be okay?”

In the meantime, Hayeon had joined Seohyun’s guild as a secretary.

Her abilities had already been certified as outstanding, but she had relatively little practical experience.

Among them, she gained practical experience in Seonghyun’s guild, which was originally large but had recently shown the greatest growth.

There were other companies, but above all, the recent growth of the guilds was fierce, and Hayeon’s family did not run a guild, so it was difficult to gain experience, making it the perfect opportunity.

“Of course. Hayeon, you might merge with another company later. It’s not a place that accepted the merger from the beginning, so they won’t be completely submissive.”

Inhwan, who had been running the guild directly for several years, spared no advice on areas where he could help.

“However, the fact that they are making an offer that they had rejected means that they are desperate, so we are definitely in a superior position.”

“…Thank you.”

“Please tell me anytime if you want more.”

“Is it okay for you to entrust me with so much like this?”

“Well, I don’t know when you’ll be leaving, so I have to get as much out of you as possible until then, right? It’s harder than you think to hold onto someone with ability.”

“Haha, that’s true. Then, can I handle the work in Inhwan’s office?”

“Of course.”

From then on, the time Inhwan and Hayeon spent together increased rapidly.

They worked together, and as they were together, they naturally ate together.

They only talked about work-related matters at first, but as they began to adapt to the work, they had many personal conversations.

Stories about Seonghyun and Sangyeon.

Stories about Inhwan himself.

Stories about Hayeon herself, and so on.

In fact, they just needed an opportunity to get closer, and once that opportunity was created, the next step wasn’t difficult.

In that way, Inhwan and Hayeon slowly began to permeate each other’s lives.

“This is… I can’t leave that position vacant.”

The president of the American Association faced the most difficult problem.

As they changed the academy into a system related to police manpower, they needed someone to oversee it.

Since the academy was spread all over the world, they couldn’t simply designate the oversight to someone from America.

If they were to find someone who met these conditions, the first would be someone with a global reputation, and the second would be someone with the power to handle them.

And if they were to think of someone who met these conditions, only three people came to mind.

The first person they contacted was Padron.

He had been more active than anyone since that day.

However, the answer that came back was concise and firm.

‘Get lost.’

Then the only ones left were Liche and Seonghyun.

Liche had also gone to Korea, so if they contacted Liche, wouldn’t it naturally flow to Seonghyun?

“…I have to contact Hunter Kim Seonghyun.”

Given Seonghyun’s personality, if they didn’t talk to him directly and instead spoke through Liche, he wouldn’t be happy.

If they could just borrow Seonghyun’s name, they could prevent at least half of the problems that would arise in the future.

“Contact Liche and Hunter Kim Seonghyun at the same time.”

“Yes, I understand.”

It wasn’t an unreasonable request for Seonghyun, so he readily accepted, and from that day on, Seonghyun became the hunter representing academies around the world.

There wasn’t anything particularly special about it other than this.

Except that everyone recognized him when he went outside.

However, if Seonghyun was just a famous person, there would have been side effects, but that didn’t exist.

For everyone, Seonghyun and Liche were the people who protected everyone’s precious things.

Except for the fact that people recognized him and that he became the hunter representing the academy, Seonghyun was now a completely ordinary person.

Of course, he had too much power to be called ordinary, and he had too much money.

The daily life that Seonghyun had so desperately wanted.

Spending time with precious people.

Seonghyun was slowly adapting to this life.

————————

3 years.

Enough time for the memories of that day to become memories.

Sangyeon came to the wedding hall with his son.

Today was the day his close friend and colleague, with whom he had shared life and death, was getting married.

“Congratulations.”

“The only person who can congratulate me with words is your son here.”

“Adulation…”

“What are you saying to a child who can’t even talk yet… Where’s Seonghyun?”

“He’s coming over there.”

Today was Inhwan’s wedding.

His wedding partner was Hayeon.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you. Thank you for coming, Liche.”

“It’s nothing. Of course, I had to come.”

“More importantly, when are you…”

“Groom! Groom?”

“Ah, it’s about to start. I’ll go first. See you later.”

“Okay.”

Inhwan’s wedding began.

A grand wedding with everyone’s congratulations.

Since his partner was also the daughter of a *chaebol* [a large South Korean business conglomerate] family, the scale was beyond imagination.

More than 1,000 guests attended the wedding.

“The groom is…”

The wedding procedure was no different from before.

Then came the time to receive the bouquet.

“…?”

Liche and Seonghyun looked around in disbelief.

Since the number of guests who visited today was over 1,000, there were many people who were in love, but no one came out to receive the bouquet.

“…Isn’t this intention too obvious?”

Seonghyun said with a laugh, as if he was dumbfounded, and Inhwan also said with a smile.

“What? I guess there’s just no one to receive it~”

Of course, the bouquet went into Liche’s arms, and applause began to pour out.

“You know what this means, right?”

“Yes. I know very well.”

Inhwan’s wedding was over, and Seonghyun and Liche also slowly began to prepare.

There wasn’t much to do anyway.

The achievements and known power that Liche and Seonghyun had achieved in the past were like godfathers and godmothers to the hunters.

Then you might ask what they did for 3 years, but it wasn’t that they didn’t do anything for 3 years.

They were just doing what they could do before achieving results.

Seonghyun and Liche were young.

“It doesn’t feel real.”

“Why?”

“I just… I don’t know.”

“Let’s slowly get a sense of it from now on.”

The preparation period was about 3 months.

3 months after Inhwan’s wedding, Seonghyun’s wedding was also held.

Everyone was vying to ask to be invited.

Most of those people were either the leaders of a country or the presidents of hunter associations.

Seonghyun invited all of them without exception.

“Kim!”

“You came?”

Padron, whom he was meeting for the first time since that day.

Padron was quite happy to see him and hugged Seonghyun tightly.

“Wow… getting married to Liche. I expected it, but it’s still shocking.”

“Is business going well?”

“Because it’s fun. How about making an appearance sometime?”

“Are you serious?”

Padron laughed loudly and shook his head.

“Hahaha! Of course, I’m joking. What’s the point of watching if the champion’s seat is permanently fixed? More than that, congratulations.”

“Yeah. Thanks.”

Padron disappeared to greet Liche, and before long, it was almost time to start.

Today’s master of ceremonies was the vice president of the Korean Hunter Association.

“He is our hero. The groom enters.”

With everyone’s congratulations and applause, Seonghyun walked down the red carpet.
