I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 214

214

Having carried out all of Envy’s orders, Sunghyun returned to the hotel.

The most luxurious hotel Russia had to offer.

Sunghyun was given access to a room that only a select few VIPs could use for as long as he wanted, but he wasn’t in a good mood.

To be more precise, it was one of the worst days he’d had in recent memory.

“Kidnapping people and conducting human experiments, huh…”

Even the subjects were a combination of magical beasts and humans.

There were still many difficulties in the process, and it hadn’t been successful yet, but the results weren’t that important in such experiments.

The reason for the experiments and the process were all inhumane acts in themselves.

“I want to take care of everything right now, but…”

He had to be patient.

Thanks to Sunghyun’s knowledge from his regression [reincarnation or return to a previous point in time], he was far ahead of others, but there were many things that had changed since then, and he didn’t know the details of the hunter supremacist group.

Even before his regression, he had only heard about the things they were doing, and he had never heard of them being prevented in advance, or of insiders being captured or dealt with.

Sunghyun was probably the only one who knew the identities of Envy and Sammy.

They were that secretive and thorough.

For a long time, their form was barely visible.

“Envy’s eyes weren’t completely trusting of me.”

That was the most troubling issue.

Sammy was accepting Sunghyun very actively without any hesitation, but Envy, who had used mind control, didn’t erase the suspicious look in his eyes.

“Let’s figure this out first before making any plans.”

Sunghyun took out the device he had received from Sammy and examined it in detail again.

A sphere that looked ordinary and unremarkable.

“He said it came from the experiment…”

He wondered how many sacrifices it took just to create this sphere.

Even though creating this sphere wasn’t the goal.

“I can’t completely undo the mind control.”

Given Envy’s suspicious and cautious nature, it would probably take a long time to meet the head of the group.

But he couldn’t completely give up on this option.

The opponents were those who hadn’t clearly revealed themselves to the United States or other countries until now.

Sunghyun was clearly far ahead of them in terms of magic power and other aspects, but no one could match them in their ability to hide and conceal themselves.

“I need Envy’s magic power to use the device Sammy gave me.”

It wasn’t right after being mind-controlled, but Envy’s magic power was already completely taking root in Sunghyun’s body.

Sunghyun drew out Envy’s magic power that was still inside his body.

From the start, this process itself was one of the impossible tasks, which was why many hunters had been unable to resist Envy’s mind control until now.

However, Sunghyun’s magic power was limitless.

Limitless magic power began to slowly push out Envy’s magic power, which had taken root deep inside his body, from even deeper within.

Since the mind control had already firmly taken hold, Envy’s magic power was being recognized as Sunghyun’s magic power, which made it quite difficult to pick out that magic power.

From the start, the attempt to pick it out required a tremendous amount of magic power.

“Ha, he really stuck it in there tightly.”

Envy’s magic power clung to him tenaciously, to the point where it felt unpleasant.

As if it had realized that he was trying to extract it.

Thanks to the magic power moving as if it had a self, Sunghyun very slowly scraped out the magic power without it noticing and began to extract it.

The magic powers that had begun to slowly escape were not originally Sunghyun’s, so they were trying to scatter into the atmosphere as soon as they came out.

Sunghyun began to put the flow of magic power into the sphere that Sammy had given him.

The sphere, which had begun to receive Envy’s magic power, gradually began to emit light from the bottom and brighten.

“…Almost done.”

After 30 minutes, Sunghyun left only a very small amount of Envy’s magic power in his body and put the rest into the sphere.

An ability similar to Sunghyun’s conversion.

However, Envy’s ability, which didn’t have the condition of having to harbor only pure animosity, was a perfect upgrade to Sunghyun’s.

“There’s no time limit like conversion, and I hate to admit it, but it’s definitely better.”

Equipment that can use mind control in Sunghyun’s hands.

“But why did he say I can’t use it on the owner of the ability?”

Sammy was far ahead of Sunghyun’s knowledge in fields related to research like this, but there was one difference.

Sammy’s magic power wasn’t infinite.

From the start, even the boss of a Tier 1 gate had a tremendous amount of magic power, but it wasn’t infinite, so it was safe to say that it didn’t exist in the world.

Of course, all the assumptions in the experiment would have been made within a limited amount of magic power.

“He said it uses twice the magic power it used the first time to use it…”

Then where would that magic power be injected?

It would be injected into the device that remembers the ability.

“What if I put an infinite amount of magic power into the device?”

It doesn’t matter if it fails.

In fact, the ability of mind control was only going to be of slight help to Sunghyun.

Sunghyun immediately began to pour magic power into the sphere.

Continuously at a level just before the sphere couldn’t handle it.

The sphere began to emit an increasingly strong light as magic power was injected like crazy.

The sphere, which was shining so brightly that he thought it might explode, began to swell.

“Uh oh…”

Sunghyun, who had stopped injecting magic power in case the device exploded, looked towards the door at the presence he felt outside.

“Pilgrim.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I have an urgent schedule today, and I wanted to ask if you could check it.”

“A schedule? Come on in.”

Sunghyun allowed the man to enter and immediately pulled up his hood.

“Hello. My name is Anatoly. If the Pilgrim had a personal secretary, I would probably be in charge.”

“I see. Nice to meet you.”

Anatoly, confirming that Sunghyun was gesturing to the chair in front, placed the documents he had brought on the desk and sat down.

“First of all, thank you for allowing me to visit you so suddenly.”

“No problem. More importantly, what is this new schedule?”

“Could you please check this first?”

The documents Anatoly handed over had quite a few people’s names on them.

Usually, there was only one case where so many people’s names were written.

The victims of some incident or accident.

“The slum area has been severely damaged by the sudden flooding of gates. I said it was a schedule, but it’s actually a kind of request.”

“A gate flood occurred?”

“Yes. Originally, the magic density in the slum area was quite low, so gates had never been created there, but suddenly a gate appeared and then flooded. Of course, there were no preparation personnel, and the damage is quite severe.”

A slightly different case from the usual gate flood.

If he had to pick the most similar case, it was the most similar situation to the flood in the area where Sunghyun first worked as a Pilgrim.

‘Could it be another act by Envy or Sammy?’

“Are there any missing people?”

“Yes. Usually, when a gate flood occurs, most people die on the spot because they can’t escape, but this time, the number of missing people is also quite high.”

It was almost certain.

This was probably the work of that group.

But there was one question.

Recalling Kaburski’s attitude, it didn’t seem like he had no connection with the group at all.

“What about the association?”

“We are assigning recovery personnel, but to be honest, since it is a slum area, we don’t need many personnel.”

“Hmm… I see. Let’s move right away.”

“A-are you going right away?”

Anatoly looked dazed at Sunghyun’s words that he would leave right away without any hesitation.

Sunghyun looked at him as if he was asking a natural question and replied.

“Of course. There are injured people.”

“Ah… I understand. I’ll prepare right away.”

“No need to prepare. Let’s start with the departure first.”

“Yes, yes!”

There were only two things that were important to Sunghyun right now.

The fact that innocent civilians were harmed, and what that group did to Russia.

As Sunghyun requested, Anatoly prioritized departure over preparation, and they were able to leave right away.

On the way to the slums of Russia.

The deeper they went, the more scenery unfolded before their eyes that made them wonder if that was even a house.

Whether they had not received any support from the beginning, it was embarrassing to see it as being at the level of being old [dilapidated].

In the middle of the road, there were people sitting on the floor with hazy eyes as if they were drunk on something, and there were people walking weakly after losing a lot of weight.

“Haha… It’s a bit much to see, right? After all, it’s called Russia’s shame.”

Regardless of the reason why they became addicted to drugs, Sunghyun did not feel sympathy for them.

‘Even people who lived well end up like that if they reach out for drugs.’

He stared at them with a nonchalant look for a long time.

Finally, they arrived at the place where the victims of the slums were gathered.

Unlike before, these people were not weak or dazed.

The environment they were in was still poor, but at least their eyes were full of life.

“Are these all of them?”

“No. There are still people who haven’t gathered, but this is almost all of them.”

When he saw it in person, there weren’t that many.

Of course, it was quite a large number as a Pilgrim.

“There are some who are in critical condition, so let’s start right away.”

With Sunghyun taking the lead, the treatment of the slum residents began.

And at the same time, he felt a gaze watching Sunghyun from afar.

‘It’s Sammy’s magic power.’

As if he didn’t intend to stop monitoring yet, Sammy was monitoring Sunghyun, the Pilgrim.

Since he didn’t intend to do anything special anyway, Sunghyun began to heal the people.

However, there was a red dot on the inside of the slum residents’ arms.

‘What is this?’

It wasn’t familiar, but since all the slum residents had dots on their arms, he naturally began to feel puzzled.

“How did you get this injury?”

“Uh… I don’t remember…”

Everyone gave the same answer.

Everyone couldn’t remember where, how, or what they were doing when they were injured.

Then what does this red dot on the inside of the arm mean?

Is it a sign to find out something?

Considering that all the test subjects he saw in Sammy’s lab were unconscious, perhaps these people were the ones who were used in that experiment.

There was no place to use mind control, but now it seems like there is a place to use it.

“Mr. Anatoly. After the treatment is over today, please arrange a meeting with Kaburski.”

“Ah, yes. I understand.”
