I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 230

230

What could be written here?

Sung Hyun slowly examined the paper.

Perhaps it was because he was inside this gate, but he could read the letters even though he didn’t recognize the script.

[The ruler of the second dimension has revealed himself.]

“The ruler of the second dimension?”

Seeing the words ‘ruler of the second dimension’ reminded him of the master of power he had heard about before.

“Could the one who is said to be the master of my power be related to the ruler of the second dimension?”

There was no evidence yet, but for some reason, he had a feeling that it might be so.

The power Sung Hyun possessed was, even by his own estimation, beyond that of a human, and the same went for his infinite magic power.

“But what is the second dimension…”

The fact that there was a number in front meant that there was a possibility that higher numbers would appear later.

Third dimension, fourth dimension, fifth dimension, and so on.

Judging from the title ‘ruler of the second dimension,’ it meant that the dimension of this gate Sung Hyun had entered might be the first dimension.

“I don’t have any knowledge of that, so further speculation is meaningless.”

It was good to think deeply, but if it went too far, it could lead to unnecessary worries.

What was important now was not what dimension this gate was, but at least knowing that this gate was not the second dimension.

Sung Hyun continued to read the rest of the content.

It was just a piece of paper, but there was still a lot to read.

[The ruler of the second dimension is rapidly recovering power. Proceed with the first dimension plan quickly.]

“So, this gate is neither the first nor the second dimension…”

It felt like he was facing something enormous.

Things Sung Hyun had never known.

He had vaguely expected that there would be a separate master of power, but it seemed that things were happening that were increasingly difficult for a single human to handle.

However, he felt more interest and curiosity than fear of the unknown.

The owner of the first-class gate he had not yet met.

And the beings called rulers of dimensions, who were even stronger than that.

“But why does the owner of the second-class gate have something like this letter?”

Judging from the way the letter casually addressed the owner of the second-class gate, it was clear that the writer was a much stronger and higher-ranking being, but the fact that he left a letter that could act as a variable was not understandable.

“Could it be…”

The training ground visible through the window.

And the architectural structures that were symbolic of medieval Europe.

Of course, in those days, they had to write something down and deliver it like a letter.

“Is this also thanks to the second-class gate owner’s concept?”

It was a bit absurd, but thanks to it, he was able to obtain quite a bit of information.

[If the ruler of the second dimension finishes restoring power, the tragedy of the past may soon be repeated.]

The details were not clearly stated, but there was definitely something he could be sure of.

The ruler of the second dimension had done something in the past, and as a result, the ruler of the second dimension had also lost a great deal of power.

And perhaps that was the same for the owner of this letter.

[Execute the plan.]

That was the word written at the end of the letter, and that was all the letter contained.

It was a letter that left Sung Hyun with many questions, but at the same time, it was a letter that helped him establish a basic framework.

“It seemed like quite important content, so why would he leave these words to the owner of a second-class gate, not even the owner of a first-class gate?”

Questions continued to arise, but there was nothing he could solve right now.

To solve these questions, he would probably have to meet the owner of the first-class gate or the being who left these words.

To meet the owner of the first-class gate, he had to increase the number of faith subjects even more.

He wanted to increase the number right away and meet the owner of the first-class gate, but the owner of the first-class gate would be even stronger than the owner he met today.

‘The amount of magic power is not a problem for me.’

There was no need to develop powers related to magic power.

New abilities would arise as the number of faith subjects increased.

“The sword I wielded today.”

Sung Hyun looked out the window again.

The trajectory of the sword that still remained in the air, leaving a pure white trace.

He had to be able to freely use that final strike that had cut through the dimension as it was.

It was the Authority [a divine power or skill] that accurately finished off the owner of the gate, but what had created the opportunity before that was the sword made purely from the movement of muscles and the control of breathing, without any magic power.

“Let’s get out of here first.”

He had obtained everything he could from this gate now.

There were no other spoils to be seen.

Sung Hyun soon left the mansion and headed to the entrance where he had first entered.

“What kind of changes will there be?”

The changes in the gate that always occurred after dealing with the owner of the gate.

How would it change this time?

He hoped that it would not far exceed the level Sung Hyun had grown to.

Taking a deep breath and coming out of the gate, as expected, the message greeted Sung Hyun first.

[You have dealt with the owner of the second-class gate.]

“Yeah. I know. So, what’s next?”

[The number of all gates in this dimension will double.]

“It’s increasing instead?”

It was an unexpected result, but it was not something he could simply think of negatively.

It was much more positive than the fourth-class gate disappearing.

However, Sung Hyun became thoughtful about the content that followed.

[From now on, all gates will be changed to the same level as the mutation they have undergone.]

“Wait, all gates?”

It was fortunate that the fourth-class gate did not disappear, and it was even welcome that it increased.

And even if the fourth-class gate was at the level of mutation, Sung Hyun could sufficiently cope with it at his current level of growth.

Even the third-class gate.

But the second-class gate and the first-class gate were different.

The number of first-class gates that currently existed in the world was one.

It was fortunate that Sung Hyun had subjugated the existing first-class gate with another top hunter, but if he had not done even that, the number of first-class gates would have increased to four.

Even at the mutated level.

[From this time on, the gate’s overflow will be stopped.]

“Is that the only good thing?”

If the number of gates increased, the number of neglected gates would naturally increase as well, and the number of overflowing gates would increase accordingly.

Therefore, the message that it would not overflow was the only word that contained only positive meaning.

“Then does that mean that the first-class gate that periodically overflowed will not overflow either?”

The situation coincided perfectly.

If he had subjugated the periodically overflowing first-class gate first, it would have been difficult to see the crystal of the first-class gate in the future.

The newly created gate would be a mutated level gate.

However, there was only one thing that bothered him.

That was the word ‘stopped.’

“Stopped means…it could overflow again at any time.”

Still, he had gained the certainty that it would not overflow for the time being, so this alone was a great achievement.

—————————–

After dealing with the second-class gate, Sung Hyun immediately had a brief meeting with the vice president of Korea and the president of the United States.

He was a bit tired, so he didn’t have a long meeting, but he had to finish explaining everything that would happen in the future.

They all did not ask Sung Hyun what had happened or whether the words were true.

In fact, Sung Hyun’s words were almost absolute.

It was trust that could be seen as a bit blind, but when he thought about what Sung Hyun had shown so far, it would have been stranger not to have it.

“Now, let’s really rest.”

With all the delivery finished, Sung Hyun took a sufficient rest.

As expected, home-cooked meals were the best for restoring energy, and spending time with his family allowed him to gain quite a bit of stability both physically and mentally.

After finishing all the rest, the first place Sung Hyun visited when he had time again was the guild.

“Did you rest well?”

Inhwan, who had no idea what Sung Hyun had been doing, was yawning and handling guild affairs.

“Yeah. Thanks to you. Nothing special, right?”

“Hehe, there shouldn’t be. Who’s working here?”

“What about Sangyeon?”

“Training. He’s just training like crazy. Eating, sleeping, pooping, and training, that’s his whole life?”

Even though he spoke a bit harshly, Sung Hyun smiled lightly at the look in his eyes as if he acknowledged it and asked.

“And where is Park Hanwook right now?”

“Park Hanwook…he must be resting after finishing the gate subjugation. But why suddenly?”

“I have something to ask.”

“He’ll be in the lounge.”

Sung Hyun headed straight to the lounge where Park Hanwook was.

A person with quite a lot of meaning and memories for Sung Hyun.

Sung Hyun’s first faith subject.

When he arrived at the lounge, Park Hanwook was drinking coffee and watching TV.

“Hmm…all the gates are at the mutated level. The situation is serious.”

Sung Hyun put his hand on Park Hanwook’s shoulder, who was showing a serious expression while checking today’s subjugation reports and articles, and said.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, Guild Leader? You should have said something if you were here.”

“It’s okay. How was today’s subjugation?”

“It was a mutated level gate. I don’t think I’ll be able to subjugate the second-class gate in the future.”

“You’re fast enough now. Don’t be too impatient.”

“Haha. Thank you. More than that, do you have anything to say to me?”

“It’s not that, but…”

Sung Hyun looked at Park Hanwook, who had lost one arm and was walking the path of the sword with the other, with respect and asked.

“Please teach me the sword.”

Park Hanwook blinked his eyes with a rather foolish expression, wondering if he had heard correctly.

Even with his connections alone, he would look insignificant enough to be kicked around, but he was asking him to teach him the sword.

Above all, he was in a state where he was missing one arm, which was no different from ending a hunter’s life.

“I don’t know if I’m qualified to teach the Guild Leader…”

“Of course. There’s no one as great as Park Hanwook among the people I know.”

Park Hanwook was a person who had achieved tremendous growth without one arm.

It could be said that it was thanks to the system Sung Hyun had created, but Park Hanwook was a figure who focused more on the sword than magic power, and had achieved this level of growth purely through bone-cutting efforts [extremely hard work].

“Please.”

As Sung Hyun bowed his head and asked, Park Hanwook didn’t know what to do and dissuaded Sung Hyun.

“D, don’t do this. I’ll do it. With all my best.”

Aside from having faith, Sung Hyun was his benefactor.

It wasn’t just that he had saved his life, but he had also saved his family’s future.

Sung Hyun bowed his head and asked, so Park Hanwook had no choice.

‘Well, I have to use it at times like this.’

It might seem a bit cunning, but Sung Hyun used Park Hanwook’s sense of indebtedness.

“Then from when…”

“Right now.”

Park Hanwook, who had confirmed Sung Hyun’s expression full of will to learn, nodded with a determined expression.

“Okay. Let’s go to the training room.”

“Isn’t Sangyeon in the training room?”

“Ah, that’s right. He trains every day. There will be other guild members too.”

“Then let’s go to the association’s training room. It’ll be comfortable because no one uses it there.”

“Yes. I understand.”

With that, Sung Hyun and Park Hanwook headed to the association’s training room.

Originally, he would have to ask for permission separately, but when he called to do so, he received an answer that he could use it as much as he wanted from now on.
