I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 256

Even Kim Sung-hyun, who could heal any wound no matter how severe, couldn’t properly use his healing abilities while restrained and unable to properly utilize his mana.

“Cut off his right arm too, if possible. He’s right-handed, isn’t he?”

“Yes, he is.”

“Cut it all off. Make sure he can’t resist.”

“Understood.”

Infusing mana into the guild leader’s crystal-forged sword, a sharp form of magical energy emanated from the blade.

The guild leader, adjusting the mana to be about the same length as the sword to avoid damaging the device, grabbed Sung-hyun’s tightly bound legs.

“…Huh?”

Clearly, the guild leader swung the sword, but it didn’t extend forward as much as he put force into it.

“What are you doing? Cut him already.”

“J-Just a moment…”

Thinking he might be mistaken, this time he didn’t consider the damage to the device and unleashed his full power, but the result was the same.

The guild leader’s sword, which had reached near Sung-hyun’s legs, stopped in mid-air without even touching Sung-hyun’s clothes.

“What is this…”

Not just any sword, but one made of crystal and imbued with mana.

Such a sword couldn’t even cut the clothes of an unconscious hunter.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing the legs uncut, the leader assumed the guild leader was hesitating.

With time already short, the leader snatched the guild leader’s sword with a rough hand and directly slashed at Sung-hyun’s legs.

“What, what is this?”

But the legs, untouched by even the top-tier hunter’s mana-infused swing, wouldn’t be cut by such a crude attack.

The leader continued to swing the sword nervously and violently, but the result was obvious.

“Damn it… Cut him off now!!!”

Thus, all sorts of equipment began to be mobilized to cut off Sung-hyun’s legs.

From equipment for refining crystals to equipment for cutting mana.

Numerous devices were mobilized, and the mana of many people was used, but the result was the same.

“What the hell…”

No mana was felt, so what phenomenon was this?

While experimenting with various methods and thinking of other ways, time continued to pass.

The sun had already risen, and there was truly no time left.

In the end, there was only one option left.

“Can we kill him?”

“I’ll try.”

“You’ll try… how absurd.”

To be unable to kill someone who is unconscious, with his arms and legs, as well as his head and neck, completely restrained.

‘…Could it be.’

“You… what are you plotting?”

“…Excuse me?”

“How was the kidnapping even possible in the first place?”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. You gave the order, and if carrying out the order is a sin, then I’ll accept the punishment.”

“Hmph… Fine. I was being too sensitive. Kill him quickly.”

“Understood.”

The leader’s expression still held some suspicion, but there was something more important, so the guild leader ignored it and picked up the sword again.

‘Pierce his neck in one go.’

He didn’t know what was blocking him, but stabbing was easier to concentrate power on a single point than cutting.

Then, even if he couldn’t pierce it completely, he could create a slight crack.

The guild leader reopened the sword’s mana that he had suppressed to minimize damage to the device.

The mana, which was emitted much longer, pierced straight into Sung-hyun’s neck.

“Why, why is this happening!!”

How long had it been since he felt so powerless?

It was humiliating that a full-power attack couldn’t even touch the clothes of an unconscious opponent.

But he couldn’t give up, so the guild leader continued to attack Sung-hyun’s neck.

Without causing any damage to the device.

“…”

As he continued to attack, he suddenly came to his senses and made eye contact with Sung-hyun, who had opened his eyes.

Or perhaps he came to his senses because he made eye contact with Sung-hyun.

Sung-hyun, showing the unfocused gaze common to those who had just regained consciousness, slightly frowned at the bright light emanating from the device and covered his face with his hand.

‘W-What?’

He covered his face with his hand.

Very naturally, with the hand restrained by the device.

Looking at the restrained device, it was completely crushed and looked like it could never be used again.

He hadn’t even put any force into it.

He hadn’t even properly grasped the situation and was merely trying to block the slight glare, but with that one action, he had destroyed the restrained device.

This wasn’t even using mana.

It was a result achieved purely with physical strength.

“I don’t know who you are, but get off me?”

Sung-hyun said with a displeased expression, as if he was annoyed by the fact that a strange man was on top of him, and the guild leader unknowingly stepped back.

“What is this now?”

Now recognizing the device that had been restraining his body, Sung-hyun raised himself up and looked at his restrained arm and legs.

He raised his head, wondering who could have done this.

And in his sight was a familiar face.

It was Philip Anos’s successor.

“So, it was you?”

The timing was perfect.

Normally, he would have sensed the strange presence the moment he stepped into the hotel, but he had come while Sung-hyun had lost consciousness for the sake of reunification.

Since only Sung-hyun knew about losing consciousness, it was naturally good luck.

Though now it was the opposite.

“K-Kill him! Kill that damn Asian bastard now!!”

Quickly realizing that something was wrong, the successor shouted urgently.

“I think I know why you kidnapped me. Can you just let me go? I’ll go back quietly.”

Sung-hyun’s tone wasn’t like he was asking, but rather advising.

That this was the best option, so choose it.

Otherwise, who knows what might happen.

And of course, the Philip Anos family, who would lose everything if they let Sung-hyun go now, scoffed and refused.

“Bullshit. Just die quietly.”

Sung-hyun sighed deeply and released all the restraints.

The action was like someone getting out of bed.

The device, made by pouring in all the crystals he had, was shattered without playing any role.

“Hah…”

Sung-hyun sighed as if he was annoyed.

Why did incidents always happen whenever he went somewhere?

Even this time, they started the trouble first and then kidnapped Sung-hyun.

Why did their expressions look like they were the ones who had been wronged?

And the hatred he felt in their gazes made Sung-hyun even more unpleasant.

“I’ll make one last offer. I’m going to leave here as I am now, and you guys just stay still.”

“Ha, so what do we get?”

The successor scoffed and replied.

As if he had no intention of accepting, but he would listen anyway.

“I’ll let you live.”

No one but the guild leader knew that those words were sincere.

“You should just let him go…”

“What? Are you crazy? If we let him go like that, we’ll all die!”

“We can rise again. I’ll try harder.”

Despite the guild leader’s desperate expression, the leader sighed and shook his head.

“The market, once lost, can never be regained.”

Unless it was a special case like this.

“Don’t make me say it twice. Kill him now.”

The leader had directly witnessed Sung-hyun breaking free from the restrained device, but he didn’t believe it.

Even if he was standing there unharmed, the amount of crystals put into the device was definitely not negligible, and he was probably hiding his fatigue as much as possible.

No matter how he thought about it, there was no other chance but now.

A chance to restore everything to its original state.

“If you do this… it’s self-defense.”

He had hoped that he could get through this without any major incidents, at least in England.

Russia, Egypt.

Everywhere he went, not just ordinary incidents, but big incidents happened.

“You go up there.”

“Yes, yes!”

The leader sent the successor up and took out his favorite pistol from his pocket.

“I’m a high-ranking hunter in my own right.”

A gun that could be fired as soon as mana was injected, without needing to be loaded.

“No matter how strong you are, at this distance…”

The guild leader raised the pistol and aimed it at Sung-hyun’s head.

“Huh?”

But he couldn’t see his gun that should have been in his sight.

Not just the gun.

The hand holding the gun had also disappeared.

“Interesting equipment. Is it an ability?”

The disappeared gun was in Sung-hyun’s hand, and the arm that disappeared with it was already lying on the floor.

“Kuaaaaack!!”

In an instant, the guild leader tried to infuse mana into his sword at the same time as confirming.

“Don’t move.”

It wasn’t an oppressive tone, nor was it using mana.

But he couldn’t move.

His body was stiffened by the pressure to some extent, but his instinct itself was strongly rejecting it.

“W-What are you doing! Kill him now!!”

From the leader’s perspective, writhing in pain, the only hope now was the guild leader.

But the guild leader was not moving at just one word.

“Move!! Move…!”

Sung-hyun cut off the leader’s head without any hesitation.

He didn’t need to use any special abilities, he just had to swing his sword.

The result happened in the blink of an eye.

The leader of Philip Anos died in his own building without even resisting.

“Whose orders do you listen to?”

“…”

The guild leader looked at the leader who had turned into a corpse without answering.

“You don’t listen to the successor’s orders?”

“That’s right.”

He had listened to the orders because the successor’s father was the leader, but now that he was gone, there was no need to listen to his orders.

“Take care of it.”

“…?”

“The successor. Take care of him.”

“A-Are you telling me to take care of him with my own hands?”

“Yes. Because I’m going back now.”

“You’re not going to kill me?”

“Why bother?”

“If I try to take revenge…”

Perhaps it was the most interesting thing he had heard since coming to England.

“That’s up to you.”

The guild leader would not take revenge.

The reason Sung-hyun was so sure was not because he knew what kind of person the guild leader was.

To dream of revenge with just this much?

It was impossible even if Sung-hyun fell asleep for 100 years.

This was neither arrogance nor conceit.

“…I will take care of it.”

From the moment his body reacted to Sung-hyun’s one word not to move, Sung-hyun knew, and the guild leader knew.

That the difference between the two was overwhelmingly large enough that he couldn’t even dream of revenge.

“It’s a reward for listening well.”

It was humiliating and shameful, but the overwhelming difference was so great that even feeling this emotion was arrogant.

The guild leader only watched Sung-hyun’s back as he left.

The other guild members were the same.

Their guild leader was also a top-tier hunter, so they thought he might be a match, but the difference was so overwhelming that it was hard to express in words.

‘I should have bowed down the moment I got out of the device.’

If he had bowed his head to the ground at that time, he could have at least saved his life.

The guild leader looked at the leader’s corpse, which had now lost its warmth, with bitter eyes and said.

“I’m sorry.”

He wasn’t sorry for not protecting him.

The leader had received the price of his arrogance.

He was just a little sorry that he had to deal with his son with his own hands.
