I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 246

246

“…Did he leave?”

“I think he did?”

Only after Seonghyun left and his presence was completely gone did they slowly raise their heads and look at each other.

“Haa…”

“Crazy. How can someone who heals people have such a terrifying aura?”

It was a feeling they didn’t want to recall.

A situation where every hair on their body stood on end and their instincts were constantly blaring emergency alarms.

Even when meeting with the executives of the main branch, they hadn’t felt such overwhelming pressure.

“The problem is… he wasn’t even emitting killing intent.”

“…”

If he had intentionally released killing intent, they probably wouldn’t have even been able to stand.

“Are all top-tier Hunters like that?”

“How would we know? The main branch executives are just high-level Hunters.”

The head of the organization.

Only he was a top-tier Hunter, and the rest of the executives were high-level Hunters.

An organization directly run by a top-tier Hunter.

Thanks to that, this organization’s position in Egypt was far ahead of others.

Having children commit petty theft was just for the lower-level members to earn pocket money; the real business was other things.

Colluding with the government, placing specific individuals in specific positions, and so on.

These were things they didn’t know and shouldn’t know.

“Now… what do we do?”

“I don’t know… we’re just waiting with our necks on the line.”

It wouldn’t take long for the main branch to find out.

“Ha… should we have just kept our mouths shut?”

“What? Are you telling us to die?”

“You idiot. Think about it. Do you think the organization will only kill us? What about our families?”

“That’s…”

Everyone in this place had children.

“My son…”

“My daughter too…”

They had things to protect.

Thinking about them, they wondered if they had made the wrong choice.

“Oh. You all have children?”

A voice came from behind without any warning.

They couldn’t see his face because of the backlight from the door, but it was clear that he was a suspicious person wearing a black hood.

“W-Who are you!”

“Who…”

Their minds snapped back.

And just as the tension they had released was about to return, one of their colleagues beside them lost an arm.

“Kuaaaaak!! Son of a bitch!!!”

It happened to be the arm that Seonghyun had reattached.

Experiencing the pain of having his arm cut off twice in one day, curses naturally erupted.

“Ugh, why are you insects so vulgar?”

“Hurry up and deal with them. I have something to investigate.”

“So, we can use these guys as test subjects, right?”

“How many times are you going to ask? Didn’t I say yes?”

“Khahat! Great!”

A crazed look for experiments.

It was none other than Sammy.

“Oh… as expected, these insects always have strong bodies. I like it.”

“W-What are you talking about…”

“Ah, don’t worry. You’ll find out when you get there.”

The smile he gave while taking off his black hood was a harmless smile, the kind that seemed innocent.

Which made it even more unsettling.

“Who said you could! Get lost!!”

“Request backup immediately!”

“Go ahead and try. You’re free to request support, but no one will come.”

“…What?”

Sammy knocked everyone unconscious in an instant, as if he didn’t need to talk anymore.

Then, he took out his usual equipment and moved them to the lab.

“I’ll drop them off.”

“Understood.”

Following Seonghyun’s trail according to Kal’s orders.

Due to the nature of the Hunter Supremacy ideology [a belief system prioritizing Hunters above all others], related individuals were planted everywhere, and that was the same for Egypt.

In the first place, these people only operated within Egypt, and the Hunter Supremacy group was already a religion-like group spread all over the world.

“Now… where did he go?”

He followed Kal the most, but since Kal followed Seonghyun, Sammy and Envy naturally followed Seonghyun as well.

There were no complaints.

It was Kal’s choice.

————————–

“Is it here?”

They probably knew by now.

That something had happened to them.

Of course, they didn’t know the extent of the problem.

As before, Seonghyun kicked the entrance door with a rough kick.

The door shattered with a tremendous roar, and behind it were the organization members, who seemed to be having dinner.

“…?”

“What is it? A terrorist attack?”

“The terrorism is what you guys are doing.”

“Why are you suddenly here talking nonsense…”

Seonghyun drew his sword without hesitation.

The organization members tried to quickly use their mana upon seeing that, but the moment they got up from their seats, Seonghyun’s sword had already cut through the air.

“Uh…”

No one was cut by the sword.

However, the entire wall of the building above their heads was split.

“Don’t just watch, why don’t you come out quickly?”

“…Not bad. To notice my stealth.”

“Are you the boss?”

“To target when the executives are away. Kim Seonghyun… were you hired by someone?”

The boss’s attitude was arrogant and haughty.

He didn’t seem to properly recognize the situation he was in.

“Hired? Who would dare hire me?”

“Then why…”

Why would a big shot like Kim Seonghyun come all the way here, not even hiding his hostility?

“My wallet.”

“…Wallet?”

Something flashed through the boss’s mind at the word wallet.

The report that they had hit a jackpot today.

“Ah, it seems one of our members made a mistake. I’ll return it.”

The boss reached out into the air, rummaged around, and took something out.

It was Seonghyun’s wallet.

“Sorry to say, I don’t remember how much was in it. I hope you can understand that much?”

“Understand, understand…”

How could someone like this be in the position of boss?

“Instead, something else good…”

Whether he had a sure card or not, the boss’s voice was full of confidence, but the rest of his words were not heard.

“Keuheok!!”

He was definitely in front of him.

But at the same time as recognizing that he had disappeared, he felt a tremendous impact on the top of his head.

“Keuheuk! Wh-What is this!”

“You want me to understand you?”

What surprised the boss was something else.

Even with his eyes as a top-tier Hunter, he couldn’t grasp Seonghyun’s movements.

All he recognized was that what he had been seeing had disappeared.

“Understanding is something you give. Not something you force.”

“What nonsense… Keuheok!”

Once again, a heavy pain surged on the top of his head.

He was definitely a top-tier Hunter, but he was being disciplined like this by another top-tier Hunter.

“Understanding is something you give.”

“A-Alright…”

It was the same this time.

He was about to agree, but why did the pain surge again?

“Ah, I understand.”

“Okay. First, hand over my wallet.”

Seonghyun forcibly snatched the wallet from his hand and looked down at the boss, who couldn’t recover from the shock to his crown.

“I can’t let you live.”

“Wh-What did you say?”

The boss doubted his ears for a moment.

Just. Just because he stole his wallet, he was going to kill him?

“If, if you kill me, how are you going to handle the aftermath! I have so many politicians connected to me that I can’t even count them on both hands…!”

The option of resisting didn’t even occur to him.

Just the reason why he shouldn’t die.

He thought that explaining it to Seonghyun as clearly as possible was the most effective method.

The only elixir he had was also made by Seonghyun in front of him, so giving it to him would be meaningless, and powers as a hunter were meaningless when looking at the relationship with the United States.

It was a dangerous gamble that could sound like a bit of a threat, but life was always high risk, high return.

“Oh. Really? Who?”

“Th-That’s…”

“I need to know who it is to make a decision.”

“If you spare me, I’ll answer the rest.”

If he told him who they all were, he would be useless.

Right now, getting through this situation was the priority.

“Hunter Kim. I found something like this.”

“Really?”

The boss didn’t even feel the presence.

Envy appeared in front of Seonghyun with a stack of documents in his hand.

“There are names of quite famous people. I think these are the people this guy was talking about just now.”

“Really? You found them quickly?”

“Hiding these things is probably the same anyway.”

As expected, being the same kind of person, Envy knew their psychology very accurately.

“I, I…”

Now this boss was useless.

The things he had done so far were also useless to this society.

“What should we do?”

“I hope we don’t have to worry about it.”

“Understood.”

“What does that even mean…”

The boss’s head fell off in vain.

By Envy’s hand.

Even for Envy, killing a top-tier Hunter like this was not an easy task that required all his strength.

However, because Seonghyun was emitting killing intent from behind the boss, it was impossible to even care about Envy’s movements.

You don’t worry about a puppy when you have a tiger behind you.

The largest organization in Egypt.

From small and insignificant things like having children commit petty theft to all kinds of drugs, relationships with the government, and so on, they had reached out in various ways.

The influence was enormous as it was directly run by a top-tier Hunter, and they had built a perfect monopoly market with no place to oppose it, let alone check it.

The boss of such an organization died without even putting up much resistance.

“The rest are being taken care of.”

“How long will it take?”

“Since it’s the largest organization in Egypt, it will probably take about 3 days.”

“Really? That’s faster than I thought?”

“Since we already had contact, we know where each branch is. It’s just that it’s wide.”

The other members inside this building had already disappeared to fulfill their roles as test subjects.

“There’s nothing for me to worry about, right?”

“Yes. At least not about this organization. But this is separate.”

There were quite a few unexpected names in the documents Envy handed over.

Not only other top-tier Hunters in Egypt, but even the association president.

“This is… a bit shocking.”

“Egypt is particularly bad. More than other places.”

It was safe to say that almost everyone who had power in Egypt was involved.

“I’m just saying this in case, but you’re not thinking of cleaning up all of them, are you?”

“I wish I could, but that’s impossible.”

Even if he dealt with all of them, others would just fill their places.

Also, if so many vacancies suddenly appeared in a situation where they were entrusting subjugation requests to hunters from other countries, there would be that much confusion.

“Since you’re a wise person, you’ll handle it well.”

“Was that the impression I gave?”

Envy seemed a little stiffer than when they met before, but the distance felt less than before.

“Are you still unwavering in subjugating the gate?”

“Yes. The same as before.”

“Understood.”

Envy bowed slightly and disappeared in an instant using his equipment.

Immediately after Envy disappeared, people from the association came out, as the commotion had spread in the meantime.

“What… is this…”

It was none other than Lotte.
