I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 57

57

Seonghyun to the Association, Inhwan to what he had.

As a result, Cheonjung’s trial proceeded smoothly.

Without even hiring a lawyer.

He was sentenced to 50 years in prison without any objection.

Kim Cheonjung would not be able to live comfortably even in prison.

Even before entering prison, he had become a notorious piece of trash who preyed on children, killed the child’s father, pretended to be a friend, and embezzled support funds.

Yaein stayed at Inhwan’s house.

Fortunately, Yaein seemed much brighter, and Inhwan also seemed much happier than usual with a cute 8-year-old child in his lonely house.

“But… aren’t we supposed to go to Japan?”

“Right?”

Sangyeon had separate work today, so only Seonghyun briefly stopped by Inhwan’s house.

Originally, he would have gone straight to the Association, but Inhwan thought that Seonghyun, who Yaein had opened up to the most, should be by her side since she was still having a hard time adjusting.

“What are you going to do with Yaein then?”

“Don’t worry about that. There’s someone to take care of her.”

“Someone to take care of her… I don’t think that’s a good choice.”

Inhwan agreed with Seonghyun’s words, but there was no other way.

“But there’s no other way. We’re the only ones she’s opened up to, but we all have to go to Japan. It’s too late to cancel now, and the academy has to consider that Japan directly requested it.”

“Then, how about taking Yaein with us to Japan?”

“What? Are you serious?”

Seonghyun’s face was serious enough.

“They won’t do anything to us. If they invite us themselves and then do something, their current status ranking, which they’re barely maintaining, will be threatened.”

“Certainly…”

“And we shouldn’t give Yaein time to think.”

“Huh?”

“We have to keep her busy. So she doesn’t have depressing thoughts.”

No matter how good the environment is, it was only recently that these things happened.

She couldn’t help but think about it.

It wasn’t because she was young.

People tend to have negative thoughts.

“From the moment you brought Yaein into this house, it’s as if you declared that you would take responsibility for Yaein’s life.”

“But what if something happens in Japan…”

“Well, we should ask Yaein first anyway. How about going to Japan?”

Yaein refused to go to Japan.

Her expression of refusing looked like she was holding back her desire to go, so I wanted to take her, but her firm head-shaking made me feel sorry for her.

So Seonghyun made another suggestion.

‘Then would you like to see us fight monsters?’

‘Fight… monsters?’

To Seonghyun’s question of whether she would like to see the battle with the monsters, she nodded her head repeatedly with shining eyes.

“So that’s why you brought her today.”

When Sangyeon stared at Yaein with a blank expression, Yaein seemed a little scared and hid behind Seonghyun.

“Cheer up. You’ll scare her.”

“No, this is just how I am…”

Sangyeon forced a smile, but the more he did, the more Yaein burrowed behind Seonghyun.

“Yaein, two more people are coming later. Will you be okay?”

“Yes! I’m okay.”

Yaein, who answered Seonghyun’s question bravely, entered the Association’s training center in a trembling state.

“Wow…”

Yaein, whose eyes widened at the sight she had never seen before, looked around for a long time.

“It’s only been a few days, but it feels like it’s been a long time.”

It had only been a few days, but it felt like he had been resting for months.

“Yaein. Don’t be too scared and watch. The monsters are virtual, so they don’t even know you’re here.”

“Yes!”

Seonghyun lightly stroked Yaein’s head.

He lightly used purification so she wouldn’t be too scared, and then turned around and said.

“Shall we start?”

Inhwa and Sangyeon nodded at the same time, and Seonghyun immediately summoned 30 4th-grade gate monsters.

Yaein stared at the three’s battle scene with her mouth open.

Among them, Seonghyun was by far the most outstanding.

‘Wow…’

She didn’t know much about battles or monsters, but even to the eyes of someone who knew nothing, Seonghyun’s movements were clean itself.

Sangyeon and Inhwan had more movements themselves.

Blocking or avoiding the opponent’s attacks.

But Seonghyun deflected most of the attacks and cut the monster in half with a single blow.

When the battle with the monsters was over, Seonghyun had single-handedly killed 18 out of 30 monsters.

And at the same time, Hayeon and Seongwook also arrived at the Association.

“Oh? Hello?”

“Ah, hello.”

Hayeon immediately grasped Yaein’s personality and didn’t say anything more.

She simply made eye contact with a smile that could make her feel comfortable and started hunting together.

Hayeon and Seongwook were still struggling to handle 3rd-grade gate monsters alone, so they faced one monster together, Inhwan and Sangyeon faced one 3rd-grade monster each, and Seonghyun faced two monsters alone.

“Hoo… how was it?”

“A, amazing!”

Seonghyun smiled lightly at her serious expression without any exaggeration.

“Can I keep watching in the future…?”

“Of course. You can watch if you want, or play games at home if you get bored.”

“Yes!”

Yaein answered confidently, but she visited the Association with Inhwan every day as if she were going to school.

The day before Seonghyun left for Japan, everyone gathered on the terrace and grilled meat, just like the first time.

“Yaein, like we talked about before, we have to go to Japan for 3 nights and 4 days.”

“Yeah! It’s okay!”

Now that she was much more comfortable, Yaein was using informal speech.

“It’s a relief that Hayeon is coming.”

“That’s right.”

I was worried about leaving her with a stranger, but fortunately, Hayeon volunteered to be a babysitter for 4 days.

They had naturally become close thanks to meeting every day at the Association.

“Don’t cry because you miss us?”

Yaein retorted at Inhwan’s mischievous words.

“N, no way!”

The atmosphere itself changed when a cute mascot came in among the three who were crazy about monster hunting.

“You have to buy something delicious!”

“Of course.”

The slightly anxious expression couldn’t be hidden at her young age.

It was only natural that she would be anxious since everyone she had opened up to was leaving.

‘Purification.’

I couldn’t be more grateful for having this ability.

To think that the range of purification includes emotions.

And as if she noticed Seonghyun’s efforts, the eyes of the young girl looking at him were filled with trust.

[A person with faith has been added.]

‘Faith?’

It was a completely unexpected moment.

Everyone in this place was someone who could have faith, but the most likely candidate was Yaein.

‘Does age not matter?’

Still, it made me feel better.

At least if something happened to Yaein, I could figure it out faster than anyone else.

‘By the way, aren’t other abilities being unlocked?’

The number of people with faith is currently 6.

It was a little frustrating because there was no way to know if new abilities would be unlocked or how many people it would take.

“Take care. Hayeon is a good person too.”

“Yeah! I’m sleepy now.”

“Sleepy? You have to brush your teeth and go to sleep.”

“Ugh… I’m too lazy.”

“No. Then I won’t buy you anything delicious.”

“Tch, okay.”

Yaein soon left, and the three enjoyed the scenery outside the terrace.

The next day, the three gathered at the airport to depart for Japan.

The three who arrived at the airport looked around with puzzled expressions.

“So it’s just us going…”

I assumed that the 3rd-year representatives would also be going since the academy had requested it, but only Seonghyun’s team was going to Japan.

There were no academy officials either.

In a way, it could be seen as indifference, but it seemed more like they didn’t want to cause discomfort.

“They didn’t ask us to do anything in Japan. Someone will be there when we arrive.”

As Seonghyun expected, when they arrived in Japan, a person dressed in a black suit was standing there holding a card with clumsy Korean written on it.

“The atmosphere isn’t exactly friendly.”

The woman holding the card found Seonghyun’s face and waved her hand with a bright smile.

“Mr. Kim Hunter!”

With an expression like she was reuniting with a lover who had gone to study abroad, Seonghyun sensed that this trip to Japan would be quite tiring.

“Oh my! Nice to meet you, Mr. Kim Hunter!”

The woman greeted Seonghyun and the two in fluent Korean.

“You two are Mr. Kang Inhwan and Mr. Gu Sangyeon, right? Nice to meet you!”

“Ah, yes.”

“First of all, thank you for accepting the invitation. I will recommend the schedule from now on, and you can tell me when you want to adjust it. Shall we go to the hotel first?”

Following the woman, a limousine was waiting in front of the airport.

“The hotel isn’t far.”

The woman, who even opened the door herself, headed to the driver’s seat with guidance.

“…Have I never ridden a limousine before?”

Inhwan was holding his trembling heart.

“What? You don’t have a limousine at home?”

“Haven’t you seen me before? I don’t even drive a car.”

The interior of the limousine was equipped with wine, drinks, and simple snacks.

The comfortable ride, so comfortable that you couldn’t even feel that you were in a car, was so good that even people with severe motion sickness wouldn’t feel it at all.

The hotel was about 5 minutes away, and its size was comparable to the airport.

“Welcome.”

“The reservation is under A.”

“A… yes, I understand.”

The guide took out 3 keys and handed them to the woman.

The room that arrived following the woman was located on the top floor.

“Please tell us through the intercom inside the room when you have unpacked.”

The interior that I first stepped into felt like a conference room, and its size was very large like a lecture hall.

There were 3 doors, and the room number was written on the door, and you could enter with the key you received.

“It’s amazing from the entrance.”

Inhwan looked around and said at Seonghyun’s words.

“It looks like they gave us a VVIP room?”

“Really? Are we at that level?”

Inhwan smiled and answered at Sangyeon’s surprised words.

“Us? It’s Seonghyun. If it wasn’t for Seonghyun, we wouldn’t have been invited to this hotel in the first place, or even invited at all?”

“Ah, that’s right. Thanks to you, I’m having a good experience.”

“A good experience, you can have it all later anyway.”

Seonghyun nonchalantly passed it over and opened his room door.

The interior of the room was amazing in a word.

I didn’t think I would feel the emotions I felt when I first saw Inhwan’s house again, but I was feeling those emotions now.

“Let’s unpack and meet here again.”

Seonghyun, who unpacked his luggage on the bed located in the huge interior with a view of the sea, returned to the conference room.

When he returned, Inhwan and Sangyeon were already there, and they immediately pressed the intercom to call the woman they had just met.

The woman knocked on the room door less than a minute after the intercom rang.
