I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 127

127

“Wait a minute, assuming sharing mana is correct, how much mana do you have?”

Inhwan, having already faced countless absurd situations through Seonghyun, could only nod and accept the fact that they were sharing mana.

If so, the most important thing was how much mana Seonghyun possessed.

At first glance, sharing mana might seem advantageous, but it wasn’t without its potential drawbacks.

The disadvantages could outweigh the benefits if not carefully managed.

If you don’t accurately grasp how much mana the sharing target has, or how much is left, both could be in danger.

“Well… they say my mana is infinite.”

“…?”

At the word ‘infinite,’ Inhwan stared at Seonghyun with a dumbfounded expression.

“Does that ‘infinite’ mean you have an immeasurable amount? So much that it doesn’t diminish even if you use it?”

“No, they just say it’s infinite.”

“…?”

It was clear that dozens of question marks were popping up on Inhwan’s face.

“No, wait a minute. Does infinite even make sense? Are you serious?”

“Yeah. All the measurements confirm it.”

“…Huh.”

It was so surprising that no words, not even admiration disguised as swearing, came out.

Not only is he the only one in the world with healing abilities, but his mana is also infinite.

“Then that crazy sword and summon can be used whenever you want? And healing too?”

“Well, I guess?”

“Then I can keep using my abilities too.”

“That’s right.”

Inhwan’s dumbfounded expression instantly changed to joy.

He looked happier than ever.

“My abilities… I can use them freely…!”

He seemed beyond joyful, almost ecstatic.

Inhwan’s mana was also on the high side, but it was difficult to continuously use the EX ability he had demonstrated in the sparring match with Seonghyun earlier.

But what if there was a gas station that never ran dry?

“But what’s the criteria for receiving the share?”

“Um… I’m not sure either…”

Only hunters with faith could receive the share, but for some reason, he was a little reluctant to say it.

Seonghyun wasn’t a god, so he couldn’t very well say, ‘Only those who have faith in me can do it.’

In the first place, the word ‘faith’ was not a suitable word to say to a friend.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if there are no side effects for you or me. Ah, this is a problem… I was going to have some fun running the guild…”

Inhwan already had a restless expression.

He looked like he wanted to go on a subjugation [a mission to defeat a monster or clear a dungeon] right away.

“Then does Sangyeon also receive the share?”

“Yeah. It’s possible.”

“But does Sangyeon even need mana? Isn’t his power related to stamina instead of mana?”

Since Sangyeon needed his stamina to drop below a certain level to activate his abilities, it was more likely that it was related to stamina rather than mana.

He could immediately enter berserk mode with DeMarge’s equipment, but that was also lowering his stamina to that level, so there was no change in consuming something.

“I’ll have to ask him directly.”

“Then I’ll ask. Either way, we have to move together to go on the 2nd class gate subjugation.”

“Okay.”

Seonghyun left the room, and Inhwan immediately contacted Sangyeon.

Asking him to come to the guild right away.

Sangyeon, who didn’t have anything to do, arrived at the guild shortly after.

“What’s going on?”

“Let’s spar once, you and me.”

“…What?”

He was called in urgently, and the first thing he was asked to do was spar.

It was a bit absurd, but Sangyeon wasn’t one to refuse a challenge.

“I’ll make you look up to me.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Follow me.”

The training hall is empty right now.

Rather, thanks to that, the two were a little more serious than usual.

“With all your might.”

“…Don’t regret it.”

All your might means doing everything you can.

That means you can use DeMarge’s equipment.

The sparring began, and Sangyeon immediately activated berserk mode.

“Haa… Haa…”

“Heh heh, what did you say earlier? Make me look up to you?”

He said this, but Inhwan was also quite surprised.

If he wasn’t sharing Seonghyun’s mana, he didn’t know what the result would be.

“How did you get so strong? You weren’t this strong until recently…”

“I called you because of that.”

Inhwan explained everything that had happened to Sangyeon.

From sparring with Seonghyun to what changes he had experienced.

And most importantly, the sharing of mana and that Seonghyun’s mana was infinite.

“…Huh, infinite mana…”

“So, you don’t use mana?”

“What? What kind of stupid question is that? There are no hunters who don’t use mana.”

“Really? Then what do you use mana for?”

For Sangyeon, this question felt like asking about his weaknesses.

“Actually… mana is used from the moment berserk mode starts.”

“Really?”

“Of course, the amount isn’t that much, so it’s unlikely to be depleted unless it’s a long battle.”

In that case, he wouldn’t benefit much from sharing mana compared to Inhwan.

“And… mana is used at the moment of berserk mode.”

That didn’t mean Sangyeon himself was getting stronger, so Inhwan made a slightly disappointed expression, but his disappointment soon turned to relief at Sangyeon’s next words.

“I get stronger by the amount of mana consumed when I go berserk.”

Sangyeon himself felt a thrill in his body at this moment.

The amount of mana Sangyeon had was not that much, and of course, in order to maintain berserk mode, he had to reduce the amount of mana used to enter berserk mode.

But that method was just a stopgap measure.

It shouldn’t be dragged out for long, so strong power was needed to quickly deal with the opponent, which naturally reduced the berserk mode duration.

Sangyeon knew that shortcoming very well, and he had been enduring it until now by carefully adjusting the amount of mana consumed.

Of course, he was most worried between Seonghyun and Inhwan, who were only getting stronger.

Whether the place he was in was the right place.

Whether he was a burden.

“Inhwan.”

“Yeah?”

“Please spar again.”

Sangyeon’s expression when requesting a sparring match was filled with endless confidence.

He had confidence when he started sparring earlier, but unlike before, it was confidence with sufficient grounds.

“Good.”

The two faced each other again, and this time Sangyeon poured all the mana he had into berserk mode.

Something he had never done before.

Doing it just believing in Inhwan’s words.

They share mana, but he couldn’t use that infinite mana for berserk mode.

Even if they shared mana, he couldn’t exceed the maximum amount of mana Sangyeon could have.

“This… I need to be a little nervous.”

Sangyeon’s appearance hadn’t changed.

Rather, he felt calmer and more serene than before, but the magnitude of the power felt was incomparable to before.

“I feel like mana is constantly recovering…”

And this power he felt was adding grounds to the constantly rising confidence.

“I’m going.”

“…Okay.”

The sparring between the two, who knew each other better than anyone else, began.

Completely different from before.

If it was difficult to even approach Inhwan’s flames that were pouring down like crazy, now he was easily dodging those flames.

‘I can’t even control myself!’

This unbelievable speed,

Sangyeon himself couldn’t control his body because it was much faster than he thought.

Inhwan didn’t give in easily either.

Since all equipment is used based on mana, the barrier was unlikely to break the moment he realized that mana was being shared.

As long as it doesn’t exceed Inhwan’s maximum mana level.

Inhwan immediately used a barrier at Sangyeon’s attack that had quickly penetrated.

‘Even though I held back, Seonghyun attacked twice and broke the barrier!’

Inhwan expected to block Sangyeon’s attack at least twice, but that expectation was completely wrong.

Instead of the sound of something being blocked, he heard the sound of something being crushed and trampled.

“…Huh?”

The barrier was broken in one attack by Sangyeon.

“It’s over!”

But Inhwan is also a person who participates as a representative of the academy.

It was a barrier that had been broken once by Seonghyun, so there was no way he wouldn’t have prepared for this.

‘Of course, it was unexpected that it would be broken in one attack…’

Just before Sangyeon’s attack reached, there was a very small ring of fire on the floor where Sangyeon was located.

A small ring of fire that is inside the barrier and small in size, making it difficult to identify if you focus on the battle.

‘EX!’

He poured all the mana he had into that one attack, without leaving any mana to restore the barrier.

“Keuk!”

A blue pillar of fire that gushed out almost explosively, beyond the level of spewing, began to envelop Inhwan’s body.

“Hoo… Now you will look up to…”

The pillar of fire disappeared, and Inhwan’s appearance was visible.

“This one was a little dangerous.”

“…His durability is at Seonghyun’s level.”

At those words, Sangyeon burst into laughter and rushed at Inhwan again.

“Don’t talk like you succeeded in attacking. It looks like you couldn’t even touch his clothes.”

Inhwan, who barely dodged by throwing his body at that tremendous speed, restored DeMarge’s barrier and replied.

“That’s what I mean! Either way, you can’t even touch my clothes, right?”

The barrier was restored, and Inhwan’s attack flew again.

He had no choice but to allow it because he had not fully restored his balance, but the barrier blocked that one attack again.

“That… I don’t know. Maybe I can touch your clothes a little?”

Inhwan regained his balance while the barrier was breaking, and barely dodged Sangyeon’s attack that flew again by throwing his body again.

“Wake up. He’s beyond human level now.”

This time as well, Sangyeon’s attack started again, but in the meantime, the restoration of the barrier was already over.

It disappeared again in an instant.

“Hoo, let’s stop here. It seems meaningless now.”

“Tsk, a draw.”

Both were feeling it.

That continuing the sparring would not end the current structure.

It would be a fight of who gets tired first, but since both were sharing Seonghyun’s tremendous mana, there was no way they would get tired.

“You should be glad. If my maximum mana was just a little higher, you would be done right away.”

“What? It’s the same for me? If my maximum mana was just a little higher, the barrier wouldn’t have broken in one attack!”

The two were bickering again, but this time both were feeling it.

That their levels were very similar.

“Still, at this level… I won’t be a burden in the 2nd class gate, right?”

“You’re stating the obvious.”

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

A laughter that acknowledges each other.

“Now that we’re here, shall we match our teamwork?”

“Good. The more preparation, the better.”

The two, who had gone through thick and thin together, always bickered but had better teamwork than anyone else.

Until the 2nd class gate subjugation, the two adapted to each other’s strengthened selves and matched their teamwork again.
