I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 110

110

“What? What are you talking about?”

The American Association President was dumbfounded by the unexpected news.

“They say they are selling potions… no, elixirs.”

“What, what?”

He couldn’t understand what was going on.

Sung-hyun was the only one who could create potions, so had someone new appeared?

“Could it be the emergence of a new healing ability user?”

“No. At a recent gathering of business people, DNN of Korea said they would sell elixirs.”

The single bottle of elixir that Sung-hyun had given them before.

They were still researching its ingredients, but there was no progress at all.

Not even a little.

“S, so. Have they started selling it now?”

“Yes. They say it’s 15 billion won per bottle.”

“1, 15 billion…”

If you only look at the number itself, it was an absurd amount, but considering the value of that one bottle, it was by no means an expensive amount.

“Moreover, sales have started simultaneously worldwide.”

“Huh…”

That meant that the amount prepared was not just one or two.

He didn’t know how much elixir Sung-hyun could make, but what was certain was that since he had started selling it, he had enough to cover it.

“Who is in charge of sales in the United States?”

“Ainsel Group.”

“…Of all people…”

The Association President bit his lower lip.

Ainsel Group was a group that was not on good terms with the Association.

While creating and operating its own guild, it was constantly challenging the Association’s operating methods.

“Can we create division?”

Now the Association President had nowhere to retreat.

Since Ainsel had begun to monopolize the elixir, its power would surely grow day by day.

“I can try, but the risk is hard to express in words.”

Already, the United States, as well as many countries, had begun to show movement.

However, since they had created places where they could monopolize the elixir in each country, in a way, the number of competitors had increased.

In this situation, if something happened to Sung-hyun’s safety, it was obvious how the companies that had already tasted the elixir would react.

“He’s a person who knows how to use each other’s power to an annoying degree.”

If Sung-hyun had distributed it alone, it would have been impossible to sign contracts simultaneously like this.

Putting aside Sung-hyun’s name value, there was a natural time limit.

“But how many bottles are they selling in total?”

“Only 3 bottles.”

“Ha, he’ll be worn to a frazzle.”

Large guilds where hunters gathered, as well as high-ranking officials suffering from chronic diseases, would be very eager.

To put it simply, if it could extend their lifespan, would 15 billion won be a big deal [approximately $11.5 million USD]?

There were those who could happily pay 150 billion won [approximately $115 million USD].

“What…should we do?”

“Put more people into analyzing the elixir’s ingredients. If we find even a little clue, we can reverse the situation.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And make arrangements for a meeting with our people.”

“Yes.”

After the secretary left, the Association President sighed deeply.

Now there were not many options.

Either completely eliminate Sung-hyun or win him over.

‘Should I have nipped it in the bud?’

It was an ability that had side effects, and according to the investigation results, even back then, it was no different from a highly rare ability that could not heal major injuries, but after a little time passed, it produced unbelievable results.

Can this even be expressed as growth in the first place?

Perhaps the ability was being re-released continuously.

The Association President called someone, gave them instructions, and then got up.

The secretary, who knew the seriousness of the situation, arranged a meeting for today.

If the secretary knew the seriousness, would they not know the seriousness?

Everyone was unhappy with the sudden meeting, but there were no complaints at all.

“Thank you all for taking the time to come.”

“No. Of course, it’s a situation that warrants it.”

“Let’s get straight to the point. This is not an easy matter to overlook.”

Everyone at this meeting was pro-Association.

There were high-ranking officials and business people.

But there was one problem.

“Where are the others…”

“That is…”

Some people did not attend the meeting.

Everyone else was just clearing their throats and avoiding the Association President’s gaze.

“Don’t tell me…”

Their common point.

They were suffering from chronic diseases.

Some were old, and some were young.

The old wanted to live the rest of their lives healthily, and the young wanted not to waste the many years they had left.

“These goddamn…!”

The Association President’s hand trembled in anger, and even the blood vessels in his forehead were visible, and no one spoke to the Association President.

The internal division they had initially aimed for was beginning to happen to them.

“New laws. Is it possible?”

“What kind of…”

Content that would take a lot of time to prepare right now.

The Association President had never imagined that they would sell elixirs, so they should have prepared from the beginning.

“That imported drugs must undergo pre-ingredient testing.”

“I’ll try, but…it’s not easy.”

The other party would oppose this, and the Association would push it through.

Everyone knew that there would be no progress in the situation if there was a back-and-forth battle.

“And…”

At that moment when the Association President was struggling.

Those who did not attend the meeting were meeting with the representative of Ainsel.

“Representative. It’s been a long time.”

The people called the core of the other party came to him with smiles to look good, and the representative of Ainsel, who could not easily hide the corners of his mouth rising, cleared his throat and said.

“Ahem, that’s right. But what brings you here…”

“Is there a big reason? We’re just adapting to the trend.”

“The trend. Haha!”

Originally, he was a representative who would not easily fall for such flattery, but the other party were people who would only say these words once or twice in their lives.

“And the fact that we were on the opposite side was to balance the power, wasn’t it? As you know, Representative, one person’s dominance is not good for public opinion. For the future.”

“…”

Quite a lot, more than can be expressed as a lot, of words came out first.

Thinking about public opinion for the future, it sounded like he was telling them to go to the top.

“By the way, I heard some good news…”

The representative, who knew the intention in advance, answered calmly with a flash in his eyes.

“Ah, you mean the elixir.”

When the representative fiddled with the remote control, one side of the wall opened and three bottles began to appear beyond the glass.

“Oh…”

“That’s it. It’s such a precious thing that I can only show it to you like this. Thank you for your understanding.”

“Of course. I fully understand. By the way, the effect is…”

The representative explained in detail what he had heard from Hakeno.

“You’ve even finished the direct verification…”

“Do you know Hunter Kim Sung-hyun of Korea?”

“How can I not know? I’m still sending requests to the Korean side…but they’re completely unresponsive.”

“Isn’t it more convenient for us to solve it with money?”

“As expected, you know it well! But I can’t believe that it’s only 15 billion won…”

As expected, 15 billion won was not a large amount of money for them.

For health.

“We also set the price as set by that side. I think 15 billion won will be the last time. They said they would change the amount depending on demand.”

Then now was the last chance.

The chance to return his body to normal.

It didn’t matter if it was a lie.

If you add up everything you’ve tried so far, it would probably be around 15 billion won.

“Representative. Please.”

“Huh…this is…”

The person who used to hold his head so high was showing his hands holding his hand and bowing.

What could be more thrilling than this moment?

“There are so many people who want it…”

“…What do you want?”

Finally, the words came out of his mouth asking what he wanted.

And the representative conveyed what he had heard from Hakeno as it was.

——————————————–

“Hmm…”

Sung-hyun realized that the elixir was starting to be used because of the pain he felt in his body.

There was not as much pain as he thought.

Most of them were used for the purpose of treating diseases rather than treating major injuries.

‘The proficiency of purification and healing is also increasing automatically.’

He couldn’t see it through the window, but Sung-hyun had reached the point where he could feel it.

If it weren’t for DNN, it would have been difficult to even start properly.

Of course, Sung-hyun was able to connect with DNN thanks to what happened in Japan in the past.

“Everything comes back someday.”

In fact, he didn’t believe in the word karma that much, but now it seemed that good deeds or bad deeds all came back later.

Now all that was left was to check the balance accumulating in his account.

Of course, he had already finished thinking about where to use it.

‘First, when I reach a certain amount of funds…’

That was then.

The window appeared.

[The scheduled assignment time is approaching.]

[Place connected to unknown power 20/20]

[Allocation and assignment are complete.]

[Would you like to confirm?]

“…That’s right. I had this.”

He had forgotten for a while.

Those memories of subjugating 20 level 3 gates while creating a new identity.

“Confirm.”

[Change the words to be understandable.]

[Gate connected to unknown power]

[The last gate of level 5.]

“The last…gate?”

There were countless level 5 gates in this world right now.

Since the number of gates was in the form of a pyramid, the level 5 gates at the bottom were in the hundreds even in Korea.

[If you clear the last gate of level 5, no more level 5 gates will be created in the future.]

[Time remaining until the creation of the last gate of level 5 24:00]

“Huh…”

Sung-hyun had nothing to say but a short exclamation.

If level 5 gates disappeared, it might seem like there were only good things at first glance, but for those who made a living through level 5 gates, it was like their lifeline disappearing in an instant.

“But I can’t back down either.”

His heart was pounding for the first time in a long time.

The senses he hadn’t felt even when he caught the demons of the level 3 gate for the first time.

A sure opportunity to exterminate some of the demons.

It wasn’t that he had approached the opportunity abstractly, but he had received confirmation.

“Still, I need to find out.”

There was only one day left until creation. He was going to find out everything he could find out during that day.

So that he could reduce his responsibility at least.

So that he could reduce his guilt.
