I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 215

215

Seonghyun meticulously healed each person with great care.

Though they had no memory of when or how they were injured, they were all just people trying to live their lives to the fullest.

He wanted to use purification on them as well, but with Saemi’s unwavering gaze fixed on him, Seonghyun decided to save the purification for later.

“Thank you, Pilgrim.”

“A miracle for us…”

As he healed them one by one, they felt that despite it being the same treatment, they were being treated more like people, with genuine care.

He hadn’t intended to do this on such a large scale, but seeing the faith gradually filling their eyes, Seonghyun decided to do here what he had planned to do in the remote areas.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yes, yes! This is healing…”

“You’re even more amazing than Kim Seonghyun!”

Hearing that he was more amazing than Kim Seonghyun gave him a strange feeling, but Seonghyun calmly shook his head and said,

“He has his own work to do. Please don’t compare him to me.”

Seonghyun’s response further enhanced his reputation as a Pilgrim.

Kim Seonghyun was also someone who acted with a doctor’s mindset rather than a Hunter.

The person who had just said he was more amazing than Seonghyun was only a small part of an environment where no one offered a helping hand, or rather, where help wasn’t given.

“Hunter Kim Seonghyun isn’t just a simple healer like me. He also possesses the power of a top-ranked Hunter recognized by the Korean Association. He is doing everything he can.”

“Th-Then why isn’t he here…!”

“He probably doesn’t even know this place exists. This place is called Russia’s shame.”

The first area where he worked as a Pilgrim was so underdeveloped that it couldn’t even be called a government or association, but Russia was different.

Russia was the third most powerful country in the world, and that meant it had power and pride to match.

“Even if he knew about this place, offering to heal them is a different matter.”

Many looked curious about what he meant, but Seonghyun didn’t explain it in detail.

He was here as Russia’s top Hunter, after all.

“Let’s stop talking about that. I’ll continue healing.”

Again, one by one.

Seonghyun healed them so meticulously that it seemed to take a long time. He wiped away non-existent sweat and healed the last injured person.

As always, the pain the other person felt washed over him.

‘As expected…’

And these people were inflicting the same kind of pain as the test subjects he had healed in Saemi’s lab.

The same kind of pain he had felt back then.

After healing the last injured person, he looked around and saw over 100 people staring at him.

Every single one of them with faith in their eyes.

“Are there any more injured people left?”

Anatoly, who had been blankly watching Seonghyun heal, flinched at the question and replied.

“Ah, no. That’s all of them. Thank you for your hard work.”

As if speaking on behalf of everyone, Anatoly bowed deeply.

The feeling he got was quite similar to that of Kim Seonghyun, one of the best Hunters, but he dismissed the suspicion, thinking it was just because they were using the same ability.

“Have you contacted Kabulski?”

“Ah, yes. He said you can come as soon as your schedule is finished.”

“Then I’ll move right away since I’ve healed all the injured people here.”

“Yes. I’ll prepare everything.”

While Anatoly was preparing, Seonghyun turned to look at the people who were still watching him.

Unfortunate people who didn’t even know why they were hurt.

Seonghyun had always pitied the ignorant.

Of course, only those who were ignorant due to others, not by choice.

“The wounds on your bodies are gone, but you must always be careful. I can’t just stay here and watch over this place.”

Seonghyun left those words and set off with Anatoly to see Kabulski.

Until the moment Seonghyun got into the car.

And even until the moment he was completely out of sight, the people watched Seonghyun disappear, unable to take their eyes off him.

They were people from the slums, but they knew about Seonghyun’s existence.

And they also knew what Seonghyun had done.

The only recorded scene of Seonghyun healing was what happened in the United States right after the terrorist attack.

The light that appeared in the sky and the scene that began to spread.

They had all gathered in front of the one TV in the village and watched that scene.

The sight of a miracle itself becoming reality was so mesmerizing that it felt like it was happening right before their eyes.

But that was all.

It was something far removed from them, a scene that only existed in movies or dramas.

The Pilgrim who appeared before them today was a little different from the image of Seonghyun etched in their memories.

Rather than being flashy, there was a warmth that couldn’t be felt on TV, and rather than emitting light, it felt like he was embracing it.

Not flashy but subtle, not brilliant but graceful.

Even if something like this happened today, they wouldn’t be able to erase the figure of Kim Seonghyun from their minds.

But in their hearts, it wasn’t Kim Seonghyun, that distant figure, but the one who gifted them the miracle of the Pilgrim who took root deeply.

Seonghyun had accomplished more and was greater than the Pilgrim, and Seonghyun could do more than the Pilgrim in the future, but that was a story for later.

To them, there was no one who had brought such a great miracle and peace as the Pilgrim.

They had never had such an experience.

As if knowing their hearts, Seonghyun got into the car and waved his hand out the window as he left the slums.

“Thank you again. Actually, I’m from this slum… There were many things I couldn’t do with my own power, even though I knew the situation.”

At first, he thought that the secretary assigned by Russia would be quite businesslike, but the more he talked to Anatoly, the more he felt a sense of humanity.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. It’s not common to die from infectious diseases these days, but my parents died from them.”

“Infectious diseases… That’s not a common story.”

“Haha. Right. Actually, my sister was among the people I healed today.”

Anatoly’s eyes, which were driving, became slightly moist as he thought of his sister.

“Didn’t you take your sister out of the slums?”

“Actually, I told my sister today. To get out of the slums. To stop wasting time here. But as always, the answer is the same. How can I leave the place where my parents lived?”

“She’s a great filial daughter.”

“Ah, she is. She’s quite smart, but I can’t help but think she’s too caught up in the past…”

“It’s not good to be caught up in the past. Of course, you shouldn’t forget it either.”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t forget today. The people in the slums I saw didn’t have eyes that had adapted to this environment. They had the eyes of people with the will to change something.”

Seonghyun’s words were simple.

Change these slums yourself, just like your sister wanted.

Of course, Anatoly, who understood the meaning, only showed a small smile.

The conversation, which had been cut off by Seonghyun’s last words, did not continue until they arrived at Kabulski’s location.

Seonghyun had many things he wanted to ask since it was the place where his sister lived, but looking at Anatoly’s expression, he thought it would be better to give him time to make his own decisions without asking anything now.

“I hope the worries you have now will be resolved a little when we meet next time.”

“Ah… Thank you.”

Seonghyun, though not visible under his hood, gave Anatoly’s shoulder a light pat as if to say cheer up, and got out of the car.

“This is this…”

Kabulski’s location,

He would be waiting for Seonghyun up there by now.

“This is that.”

Kabulski’s employees greeted Seonghyun from the entrance.

But Seonghyun was a little suspicious of them too.

Why did they leave the slums like that?

And why didn’t they take any action even though they could guess who was behind this?

Recalling the image Kabulski had shown Seonghyun, his patriotism was so great that he thought it was blind.

But what happened today was an act that directly denied that patriotism.

‘Could it be that Kabulski is under Envy’s mind control?’

There was only one conclusion.

Kabulski was under Envy’s mind control.

A belief that one person has.

Could it be that he used such strong mind control that it denied that belief?

“Well, I’ll know when I meet him. What the situation is.”

Guided by Kabulski’s employee who greeted him at the entrance, he moved to the top floor of the building.

A building of tremendous height befitting the reputation of being the third most powerful country.

The elevator stopped after going up for almost 5 minutes.

“He’s waiting inside.”

“Thank you.”

There were several rooms in the hallway, but the room that the employee pointed to had a rather special appearance.

The material was also special.

“Ha, this makes me more suspicious…”

The same material he had seen in Saemi’s lab.

The level of magic blocking was so great that it interfered with Seonghyun’s sense of energy.

Of course, he couldn’t be sure with just this.

Given Russia’s characteristic of prioritizing strength above all else, they may have traded for this objectively superior invention.

But that meant there was definitely contact, so Seonghyun opened the door to Kabulski’s room with a slightly hardened face.

“Ah, you’ve arrived.”

“Yes.”

“You wanted to see me…?”

Kabulski with a calm expression.

Originally, Seonghyun was going to ask a few questions and then use Saemi’s sphere depending on the answers, but the moment he checked the material of the door, his mind changed.

“I have many questions I want to ask.”

“…Yes. Go ahead.”

Kabulski nodded, sending a puzzled look at the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere.

“Of course, you’ll have to answer everything without missing a single thing.”

“…Even if you’re the Pilgrim, this is too rude…”

Kabulski’s brow furrowed slightly, and at the same time, Seonghyun used purification first.

If it was true that he was under Envy’s mind control, this purification would release it.

“Huh? This light is… Hunter Kim Seonghyun’s…”

But nothing was being purified.

Kabulski was not under Envy’s mind control.

It was a slightly unexpected result, but it wasn’t enough to embarrass Seonghyun.

“H-How is the Pilgrim emitting the light that Hunter Kim Seonghyun emits? Could it be…”

Seonghyun didn’t answer the question and took out Saemi’s sphere from his pocket.

The sphere began to emit light, and Kabulski closed his eyes tightly at the slight headache he felt.

“Kabulski?”

“Yes.”

“Answer all my questions without missing a single thing.”

“I understand.”

The same request as before.

And a different answer.

With the successfully used mind control, Seonghyun unraveled all the questions he had held.
