I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 240

240

After finishing the conversation with Cal and leaving, a notification appeared before Sung Hyun’s eyes.

[A person with faith has been added.]

“…Why?”

There wasn’t anyone who would gain faith in the current situation.

However, if asked who was most likely to gain faith, it would be none other than Cal.

What could have caused Cal to gain faith?

Until now, Sung Hyun thought the only commonality among those who gained faith was that they had received grace from Sung Hyun.

And most of that grace was when they had their wounds healed or healed someone else as important as themselves.

Of course, this was not the case for Cal.

If there was someone close to Cal among those Sung Hyun had healed, the notification that a person with faith had been added would have appeared long ago.

‘Does that mean it’s because our beliefs have become the same?’

Perhaps it was thanks to Sung Hyun making him aware of things he didn’t even know himself that Cal gained faith.

‘There’s no need to tell him, right?’

He decided not to tell Cal about the special benefits that people with faith receive.

If the future Cal sees is also affected by the amount of magic power, he would be able to see it in much more detail, but knowing is not always power.

Sometimes, not knowing is better.

If Cal were to see the future in more detail and that future was unchangeable, he would be exhausted before even trying to do anything.

And if it wasn’t, there would be no need to know.

In any case, Cal becoming a person of faith was an unexpected gain.

There was no need to pay special attention to him, and above all, Sung Hyun was certain that he would move as Sung Hyun wanted.

“Hoo… so the next goal is to meet the owner of the Level 1 Gate.”

The owner of the Level 2 Gate knew about Sung Hyun’s abilities.

Even if they didn’t know the very detailed parts.

But the owner of the Level 1 Gate might be different.

Perhaps they had been watching the entire battle with the owner of the Level 2 Gate.

Of course, to meet the owner of the Level 1 Gate, a large number of people with faith would be needed.

And no matter what the outcome of meeting the owner of the Level 1 Gate, Sung Hyun had already received confirmation from Cal that the Gate would undergo a drastic change.

The system that Sung Hyun had initially established was now running smoothly without Sung Hyun’s attention.

The same was true for the places that felt betrayed by the fact that the Pilgrim’s identity was Sung Hyun.

As Sung Hyun had expected, the subjugation of the Level 2 Gate owner served as an opportunity for them.

The number of Gates suddenly doubled, and the level of mutation was higher than before, so there was no choice.

Rather, they had to be grateful for the Pilgrim’s deep intentions.

“I have some time left again this time.”

Perhaps it was the last time.

If he managed to deal with the owner of the Level 1 Gate, he would likely meet the owner of the dimension.

And as Cal had said and seen, the moment of choice might be approaching.

“Where should I increase the number of people with faith next?”

He had already expected it.

That the number of people with faith would increase when Sung Hyun came out after subjugating the Gate owner.

In the first place, there were many people who had great favor towards the person Kim Sung Hyun, and in that situation, there were many who judged that he was doing something that would not gain him anything while hiding his identity.

Of course, there were not only positive opinions.

Because Sung Hyun predicted the drastic changes in the Gates every time, there were opinions that Sung Hyun was deliberately creating the drastic changes in the Gates.

To raise his position and make it more solid.

There were opinions that he deliberately created drastic changes in the Gates and made it possible for him to deal with them.

Perhaps it was a natural question.

In fact, Sung Hyun’s position had reached a point where no one could threaten him.

However, Sung Hyun did not pay any attention to such opinions.

Even the things that were happening right in front of him were more than enough to worry about, and if he paid attention to such opinions one by one, he would not be able to do the things he had to do.

“How much growth should I achieve this time?”

He also wondered what it would be like if Sung Hyun had the ability to forcibly increase his power.

Of course, even now, the growth rate of other Hunters was about 6 to 7 years ahead of what it was before the regression, but it was not at a level where they could perfectly keep up with the drastic changes in the Gates.

“I’ll need at least a month from now…”

It would take that much time to reach a level where they could perfectly respond to the changes that appeared after subjugating the Level 2 Gate owner.

Waiting for the average level of other Hunters to rise was also something to wait for, but what was needed right now was something else.

“I need to get stronger.”

If he were to lose in the battle with the owner of the Level 1 Gate.

And if that owner of the Level 1 Gate were to appear in Sung Hyun’s dimension now, there would be no one who could stop him.

It would be a different story if Sung Hyun’s people of faith with infinite magic power combined their strength into one, but that was only when Sung Hyun was alive.

If something unfortunate were to happen to Sung Hyun, the special benefits that the people of faith were receiving would be useless.

Of course, Sung Hyun was not standing still.

He was getting stronger every time he dealt with the Gate owners and every time the number of people with faith reached a certain number.

This time, he also gained a new ability called Assimilation, and this ability was virtually the same as opening up hundreds, if not thousands, of possibilities for Sung Hyun.

Although there were time constraints.

As much time as Sung Hyun was given, Sung Hyun would not neglect his training.

He was planning to train with Park Han-wook every day.

However, Sung Hyun recalled the abilities he had obtained before.

“I gained Assimilation this time, and there’s also Materialization, which was just a source of funds for a while.”

Materialization is the ability to create abilities into something real.

If so, now that the number of abilities that can be used with Assimilation has increased, can they be made into equipment through Materialization?

Also, now that he has grown more than before meeting the owner of the Level 2 Gate, perhaps the waiting time for using Materialization has been reduced.

“Let’s go back and check it out first.”

He had achieved all the goals he wanted to achieve today.

It was a day when he gained more than he had expected.

Sung Hyun went home, thinking about how to use the time he had regained efficiently.

————————–

The first thing Sung Hyun checked was to materialize equipment that could help not only Sung Hyun but everyone.

Among Sung Hyun’s abilities, the one that contributes the most to increasing combat stats is the Holy Ground.

People of faith have additional stats increased, and even if they are not people of faith, the effect exists.

“Is it more beneficial that I haven’t designated a region yet?”

At first, there was no suitable place to designate, so it was recognized as Sung Hyun’s surroundings, but it was a good thing.

If Sung Hyun had designated a certain area as a Holy Ground, even if he had created equipment through Materialization, it would have been created with that area as the default setting.

Of course, it could have been recognized as Sung Hyun’s surroundings, but there were still at least some differences.

Whether Sung Hyun himself was recognized as a Holy Ground, or whether it was based on the source of the ability because it was not designated.

If there are things that change depending on the difference in thinking like this, the results always appeared as Sung Hyun wanted.

That is the ability of the Sage and Pioneer he received at the beginning.

‘Let’s materialize the Holy Ground and give it to the guild’s raid leaders first.’

How much will the effect be?

Also, what will happen if their areas overlap?

Sung Hyun immediately created equipment containing the Holy Ground ability through Materialization without hesitation.

After subjugating the Gate owner, the waiting time for materializing equipment was reduced from one week to one day.

For a week, Sung Hyun created equipment using Materialization with the Holy Ground ability and gave all the equipment to the guild’s raid leaders.

‘The Guild Leader personally gave us equipment…’

‘I will keep it as a family heirloom forever!’

‘More precious than my life…’

After listening to some embarrassing answers and thank yous, he checked the results again for another week.

Sung Hyun’s surroundings were always designated as a Holy Ground, so he could not enter the Gate with them.

The result was entirely up to the raid leaders’ judgment.

The answer was consistent.

The combat abilities of all guild members have improved significantly.

If you look at the level of change in their level in terms of the Gate, the monsters of the previous Level 4 Gate have changed to the level of the Level 3 Gate monsters at least.

The monsters at that time were at a level that even the current guild members could easily handle, but considering the difference between Level 4 and Level 3, the growth rate was an enormous difference considering that it was grown with just one ability.

It wasn’t just that the attack power was stronger and the defense power was higher.

The above two are natural, and in addition, the basic senses have improved.

It’s a cold word, but the fact that low-level Hunters are at a low level is not determined solely by the amount of magic power and the value of their abilities.

Things that are naturally born with.

Finding the best move, or finding a move that no one else has seen, alone in the moment of choice that comes from time to time.

They were the raid leaders who had been with the guild members in numerous subjugations, and of course, they knew their level better than anyone else.

They were able to deal with the monsters much faster and without injuries because they faced the monsters with the judgments they had not been able to make before, as well as the increased physical abilities and magic power.

Of course, there were also some disappointing results.

That in the case where the areas overlap, they do not receive both effects.

That means that later, when they are in Sung Hyun’s Holy Ground, they will not be able to receive the effects of the equipment worn by the raid leaders.

Also, since the Holy Ground itself is based on the source of the ability, the range has been significantly reduced because the magic power of the raid leaders, not the magic power of Sung Hyun, is the standard.

If Sung Hyun was the standard, the size would be about the size of a city, but based on the raid leaders, the Holy Ground was designated as a range of about 10-20m around them.

“I’ll have to materialize this for the time being.”

It was good to have as many as possible because it was not an effect that was applied only to those with faith.

So that more people can receive the effects of the Holy Ground.

He was going to make sure that they would not be left behind and disappear due to the drastic changes in the Gates.

That was Sung Hyun’s last goal and mission before facing the owner of the Level 1 Gate.

Since all that was needed to achieve this was just one thing.

Time, Sung Hyun slowly began to prepare for the owner of the Level 1 Gate, and to steadily prepare for the things that would happen after facing the owner of the Level 1 Gate.
