I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 255

255

“Ha, who are you telling me to assassinate?”

My head throbbed.

The sight of the chairman’s immature son presenting such a ridiculous plan with a beaming smile was enough to make me nauseous.

The plan he presented was simply to have some hotel staff removed during Sung-hyun’s sleeping hours, allowing us to infiltrate and assassinate him along that route.

The information he provided was limited to the times when the staff would be absent, the times when the bribed employees would temporarily disable the magic alarm, and the room where Sung-hyun was staying.

That was all.

Normally, that much information would be sufficient for a skilled operative, but if the target was Sung-hyun, it was a different story.

It was nearly impossible unless we were given a weapon capable of blowing up the entire hotel.

“Kim Sung-hyun… is a monster.”

The guild directly managed by Philip Anos.

For the guild leader of this guild, information was the most crucial element for leveraging his abilities.

Therefore, he was always highly sensitive to all information, and Sung-hyun was at the top of that list.

“The fact that this is all the information I could gather means there’s much more that hasn’t been revealed.”

The guild leader knew the existence and identity of the Red Eyes, and he also knew their fate.

The Red Eyes were a top-tier hunter like himself.

And their opponent was also a top-tier hunter.

However, the result was overwhelming, demonstrating a power level beyond even top-tier hunters.

“Well, of course, he wouldn’t know.”

The guild leader’s ability was to re-experience an event from the perspective of the target when the event was confirmed. [He could see through the eyes of others involved in a past event].

Of course, there were some conditions, but in a time when information was crucial, being able to become the person involved at that time meant a great deal.

This ability didn’t allow him to see the events that would happen in the future, but the fact that he could re-examine the past actions of the target from the target’s or the opponent’s perspective was a significant advantage.

By creating plans based on that information, he could naturally create plans that were closer to perfection than others.

Every choice made in urgent moments.

And by analyzing every word spoken and every small movement, he could even predict what choices the opponent would make in future urgent moments.

That’s how he was able to rise to the position of guild leader in the guild directly managed by Philip Anos.

“But this is a different case…”

While handling everything perfectly, there was only one thing that bothered him.

It was the fact that he couldn’t confirm anything from Sung-hyun’s perspective.

This alone already made Sung-hyun the most important person to the guild leader, but there were other reasons as well.

When the Red Eyes died, Sung-hyun, as seen from the Red Eyes’ perspective, possessed power that far exceeded imagination.

At that time, the guild leader felt fear for the first time while using his ability.

“Even now, thinking about that time gives me goosebumps.”

And now, he was ordered to assassinate the person who gave him those goosebumps.

“I can’t… disobey the order.”

He had no choice but to search for the higher probability.

“Based on the memory of when he faced the Red Eyes, his magic power was at a level where there was no limit.”

The only advantage he could have was the fact that Sung-hyun was asleep.

“Find the time when the magic alarm is off, when the staff is absent, and the route where the surveillance cameras are turned off…”

The probability of success was extremely low, with even 1% being a miracle, but it seemed like it wasn’t 0, so the guild leader began to devise a plan with all his might.

“Ah! There’s one thing I didn’t tell you.”

At that moment, the returning successor came back and said nonchalantly as if it was nothing.

“He’s leaving the country tomorrow, so it has to be done tonight.”

“…”

The probability that he thought was around 1% just now became 0 due to the successor’s last piece of information.

“This is absurd.”

But since the order had already been given, the guild leader began to rack his brains to increase the probability by even 0.1%.

————————–

Sung-hyun, who spent the night in the hotel, closed his eyes with a slightly excited heart.

“In eight hours, I’ll gain a new ability.”

Strictly speaking, it was a recombination, but in many cases, the recombining ability came with new effects, so it was no different from gaining a new one.

“I’ll check the recombined ability when I return to Korea, and depending on how good it is, I can quickly meet the owner of the Grade 1 request.”

Of course, in order to do that, there was a condition that Sung-hyun had to be able to handle more requests on his own.

If he met this condition, he could meet the owner of the Grade 1 request.

What kind of ability he would gain in the future, and when he would meet the owner of the Grade 1 request depending on whether that ability satisfied the above conditions.

The thought of his consciousness being forcibly blown away made it a night of many thoughts.

“I should start before it gets too late.”

Sung-hyun, lying on the luxurious bed, closed his eyes and began the recombination.

[Recombination will begin. 8:00:00]

[Changing the user’s consciousness to unconsciousness.]

He also confirmed the window, which was a definite sign that the recombination was starting, and Sung-hyun’s consciousness completely disappeared at the same time.

About four hours after Sung-hyun’s consciousness flew away.

The lobby of the hotel, which was quieter than usual.

A black shadow began to enter the lobby as if it was familiar.

“…”

No special instructions were needed.

He already knew exactly which places were vulnerable, how much, and until when, and there were guild members who had been moving as one until now.

The guild members, who began to move all at once, were not only in the hotel lobby.

From the outer wall of the hotel building to where Sung-hyun was.

The fact that it was the top floor because he was being treated as a VIP actually worked to his advantage.

‘It may not work anyway, but…’

Snipers were prepared with the intention of raising the probability even a little.

They weren’t ordinary snipers either.

Even bullets specialized in penetrating magic power.

Originally, it was planned to be used the moment Philip Anos gained a little more influence in the association, but there was no other suitable time than now.

Because it wouldn’t come.

They were aiming at where Sung-hyun was from the rooftops of buildings at various angles, and they were positioned to snipe without obstacles in case he escaped through the window.

“Hoo…”

The probability of success for this plan was less than 0.1% no matter how he thought about it.

Perhaps Sung-hyun had already noticed the moment he stepped into this hotel.

All the guild members arrived at the predetermined location, and the guild leader also quietly moved his steps.

In this plan, the guild members don’t even go near the room where Sung-hyun is.

Although the bribery of some hotel staff and the neutralization of surveillance cameras were successful, it was only a part.

To minimize variables, they would be in charge of handling other hotel rooms.

The only one who would enter Sung-hyun’s room was the guild leader.

‘I wonder if my head will be cut off as soon as I go in.’

The guild leader, who had arrived in front of Sung-hyun’s room quickly without any interference thanks to the work he had done in advance, slowly opened the door.

“…?”

But the inside was quieter than he thought.

The lights were also dimly lit, so he could see Sung-hyun lying down, and he looked like he was in a very deep sleep.

“What, what is it?”

‘Could it be that I saw it wrong?’

He couldn’t feel that great magic power at all.

It wasn’t like he was asleep, but it felt like he was facing a corpse with only a healthy body.

He was a little embarrassed because it was a case that wasn’t even included in the number of cases, but he couldn’t miss the opportunity.

The guild leader, who took out the equipment that could move directly to the prepared place from his chest, approached Sung-hyun as carefully as possible.

His sleeping figure looked like an ordinary young man no matter how he looked at it.

‘Blame your excellence.’

The guild leader, holding Sung-hyun’s hand in a deep sleep and injecting magic power into the equipment, instantly began to operate a huge magic power, and both Sung-hyun and the guild leader disappeared in an instant.

And at the same time as the guild leader disappeared, the snipers who were waiting on the hotel, the outer walls, and the rooftops of the building all withdrew.

The place prepared by the guild leader was none other than the basement of the guild building.

“D, did we succeed?”

The guild members, who had even prepared a device to bind Sung-hyun when he was brought in, looked at the guild leader with bewildered eyes, perhaps because they didn’t expect it at all.

“Yes. Is the preparation done?”

“We have thoroughly checked and finished it. It is a level of restraint that even the Grade 1 request’s demon beast cannot move.”

Although he had consumed a lot of crystals, it might not be enough to block Sung-hyun’s monstrous magic power that the guild leader had confirmed.

“Shall we prepare right away?”

“No, bring some more. This amount of crystals may not be enough.”

“I don’t feel any special magic power…”

“Quickly.”

“I understand.”

To eliminate even a fraction of a variable, he brought all the crystals currently held in the guild building and used them to bind Sung-hyun.

“At this point, even if the boss of the Grade 1 request, who was said to be vicious, comes, he won’t be able to break it.”

As if that statement was not an exaggeration at all, the amount of magic power felt from the device was actually similar to the amount of Sung-hyun’s that the guild leader had confirmed with his ability.

“Let’s start.”

“Are you doing it yourself?”

“Because this time, we have to be more certain than ever.”

“I understand. I will start.”

The guild leader, who soon pushed Sung-hyun, who was holding him, into the device, activated the device himself.

Sung-hyun’s arms and legs were bound.

In addition, another device was placed on his head to prevent normal thinking, and a device that interfered with the operation of magic power was placed on his neck.

“It’s all over. The graph is stable.”

“Any other variables?”

“Not at the moment.”

“Good. Report it right away. We’ll wake him up when they say they’re coming.”

One of the guild members soon reported to Philip Anos’ leader and his successor, and the answer came back immediately as if they had been waiting for the report.

Praise for succeeding in a plan that they themselves had doubted, and the answer that they would come down right away.

“They’re coming now.”

“Wake him up.”

One of the guild members soon sprinkled water on Sung-hyun, but Sung-hyun did not respond.

“…What is it?”

It was not just anyone, but a top-tier hunter who would not wake up to this level of stimulation.

“Try to wake him up as much as possible.”

He increased the amount of water he had sprinkled, but again, there was no response this time either.

“Tsk, that’s enough. Anyway, the purpose is to kill him, so the leader will take care of it.”

Not long after, the leader and the successor arrived at the same time, and when they confirmed Sung-hyun, who was perfectly bound to the device, they put their hand on the guild leader’s shoulder and said.

“As expected. You’re the best.”

“Thank you.”

“See! I told you? It’s a perfect plan.”

“…Yes.”

The praise for the performance ends here.

Now, all that was left was to ravage the top-tier hunter who was perfectly bound and could not do anything.

“Why isn’t he waking up?”

“I don’t know. I sprinkled water, but there’s no response.”

The leader showed a puzzled look for a moment, but this was a minor problem anyway.

“Well, whether we kill him or let him live, we won’t need that anymore.”

The leader pointed to none other than Sung-hyun’s two legs.

“Cut them off.”

“Yes.”

At the leader’s command, the guild leader took out his favorite sword from his chest without any hesitation and injected magic power into it.
