I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 60

60

The reason Seonghyun was surprised was simple.

Was it because his opponent was strong? Or because of his incredible ability?

Of course not.

Even though it was an alleyway, it was just a few turns away from downtown.

In other words, he was using his ability in the middle of downtown.

Moreover, his opponent’s ability seemed like it could easily be misunderstood if used incorrectly.

“A guy who doesn’t even know his place…!”

“This is… a magical beast?”

Takami’s shining hand returned to normal, and a summon, possibly a magical beast, appeared next to him.

“It’s no use begging now!”

Just like Seonghyun was surprised, using abilities in the middle of the street was naturally forbidden in Japan as well.

But Takami had no choice.

He felt like his hand would completely break if he didn’t use his ability.

‘Still, I’m the representative of the Academy’s first year…!’

Looking at his opponent, he seemed to be a hunter specialized in close combat.

His tall height, sturdy body, and the scars that were faintly visible reinforced Takami’s assumption.

‘I can’t even use my ability in Japan.’

Using abilities in a foreign country you’re visiting is no different from actively expressing your intention to be punished.

“Just don’t kill me.”

Takami, who ordered his summon, stared at Seonghyun with a sneer.

As if telling him to use his ability if he dared.

And basically, hunters specialized in close combat were reluctant to fight him.

Seonghyun stared at Takami’s summon.

Its body structure was the same as a human, but it had no face, and its height, almost twice as tall, made him think that this summon was also specialized in close combat.

The summon approached Seonghyun.

The way it looked down on him right in front of him felt like it was looking down on him.

“Do summons feel pain?”

“…What are you saying? Are you scared?”

Seonghyun, who was staring at the summon’s face located much higher, used the stigma without any hesitation.

“…”

But the summon showed no reaction.

‘Summons don’t feel pain, huh.’

From the beginning, there weren’t many hunters with summoning abilities, so he couldn’t know, but he was able to learn a new fact.

Then what is the summon’s weakness?

It was that it was affected by the summoner’s condition.

In the meantime, the summon felt that something had changed in him for a moment, and raised his heavy hand and swung it at Seonghyun.

Even at a glance, the heavy movement was a considerably heavy attack, and as heavy as it was, the speed was not very fast.

Just turning his body slightly to the side would be enough to avoid it.

Since Seonghyun’s physical abilities were already different from those of ordinary academy students, avoiding it was as easy as breaking Takami’s hand just now.

“Yeah, keep dodging if you can.”

Takami’s expression was rather one of relief.

Seonghyun, who didn’t know why, was able to realize it a little with the summon’s next attack.

‘Is it getting faster as it attacks?’

A little faster and a little heavier than when he first swung his hand.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was difficult to avoid.

It was no different from breaking Takami’s hand just now.

“…What the hell?”

Takami looked back and forth between his summon and Seonghyun.

It had been almost 5 minutes since the two started fighting.

Naturally, the number of attacks the summon had made began to reach dozens, and now it was showing a speed that was difficult for Takami to keep up with.

But the problem was that Seonghyun was also like that.

‘Tch, was he a hunter specialized in speed.’

He was starting to get a little anxious now.

Although no one knew yet, there was a limit to the speed at which Takami’s summon could increase.

And now, it had reached its limit.

‘It’s okay. The opponent gets tired, but my summon doesn’t.’

It was one of the advantages of a summoner.

Except for using a lot of magic power when summoning for the first time, once summoned, the summon could be continued indefinitely.

The result of this battle would be solved by time, Takami calmed his slightly anxious mind and began to worry happily.

‘How should I educate him?’

He could make it so that he could never set foot in Japan again, and at the same time, he could break one of his arms in return for inflicting humiliation on Japan and for breaking his arm.

With such a relaxed mindset, he watched Seonghyun’s movements, but at that moment, Seonghyun made eye contact with him.

It was just making eye contact.

But in the current situation, he turns his eyes away from the summon that is moving at a speed that is difficult to keep up with even with his eyes?

It wasn’t for a moment.

The gaze he made once did not fall.

He kept looking at those eyes, wondering if it was a mistake, but it wasn’t a mistake.

Moreover, the way he looked at him contained a clear intention that if this was all he had, he would end it now.

“You arrogant bastard. Have you forgotten your slave days in the past?”

He was bothered by that gaze, but there was nothing the opponent could do anyway.

“Just keep holding on like that.”

Seonghyun, who had been avoiding the summon’s attacks, confirmed that the summon’s movements were no longer getting faster.

‘Is this the limit?’

He avoided a few more attacks after that, but it still didn’t get any faster from here.

In other words, there was nothing left to see now.

‘I don’t even need to use the stigma.’

If he used the stigma unnecessarily, he could be caught doing something wrong.

He was invited, but he was in another country, and there was no need to create a weakness himself.

And decisively, it was enough without using the stigma.

Inhwan and Sangyeon were taking care of Takami’s group on their own.

All that was left was to deal with Takami.

Of course, he had no intention of inflicting serious injuries in a foreign country. A light flick on the forehead would probably end the situation.

Now that he had grasped all of the summon’s attack patterns, Seonghyun, who had predicted the next attack path, avoided the attack and at the same time quickly approached Takami.

Could a summoner who couldn’t even see his own summon’s movements properly have seen Seonghyun, who moved at a speed faster than the speed he had shown so far?

Takami looked around for a moment, searching for Seonghyun, who had disappeared from his sight.

Even so, Seonghyun did not come into view.

“W-Where…”

At that moment, he felt a chill and a presence behind him.

That presence was exuding as if telling him to look back if he was here.

When he hurriedly turned around, Seonghyun was looking down at him.

Like the eyes he had met earlier, but as if announcing the result that it was over now.

“W-Wait a minute!”

He raised his hand, thinking of lightly flicking his forehead, when he heard a familiar voice from behind.

“Huk, huk…”

The woman who had guided him and the vice president of the association appeared.

“T-The vice president of the association?”

Takami’s group seemed to know the vice president’s face well.

“You guys are academy students, right?”

“Y-Yes! That’s right!”

“So, can you explain the situation I just saw?”

Takami thought that the vice president of the association was taking his side by asking him to explain the situation.

‘As expected…!’

“The Korean guys don’t seem to know their place, so I was going to educate them myself!”

The vice president stared at Takami with a hardened face.

Takami thought that the reason for that expression was his incompetence for not handling the situation properly yet.

“I-I’m sorry! These guys are a little stronger than I thought…”

“A little stronger… so you showed your back?”

“T-That’s…!”

The vice president put one hand on his forehead.

What should he do in this situation?

Fortunately, Seonghyun didn’t seem to be hurt.

Looking at the situation, it seemed like he wouldn’t have been hurt even if time had passed.

But not being hurt and not having such a thing happen were different things.

“…Hunter Kim, I’m sorry.”

The vice president bowed slightly and apologized to Seonghyun.

“V-Vice president?”

Takami looked back and forth between the vice president, who bowed his head without knowing why, and Seonghyun, who was the object of the apology.

“If you wish, you can finish what you were going to do.”

“Is that so?”

“Y-Yes? Vice president?”

Takami looked at the vice president in surprise and looked at him as if asking him to stop, but the vice president didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

“Don’t be too scared. It’ll just hurt for a while and then it’ll be over.”

“Just a moment…”

Seonghyun lightly flicked Takami’s forehead.

The impact was quite large for a light flick, and Takami fainted on the spot.

“Thank you for showing mercy.”

“It’s nothing. It was quite a good experience.”

The situation itself was quite unpleasant, but it was still a valuable experience as he had obtained information about summons.

“Thank you. Would it be okay if I take care of these guys myself?”

“Of course.”

“Then I hope you have a pleasant time for the rest of your time and return.”

“Thank you.”

Seonghyun took Inhwan and Sangyeon and went deeper into the alley.

The commotion had brought people out of the store, and Inhwan gestured at them.

“Uh… food! Possible?”

When he pretended to scoop rice with his hand, the person who was flustered by the commotion nodded, perhaps he was the chef, and guided them into the store.

The vice president sighed deeply and said to Takami’s friends.

“Take that friend and go back.”

“Yes, yes!”

They supported the fainted Takami and soon left, and the vice president frowned deeply and returned to the association.

“What are you planning to do?”

At the woman’s question, the vice president answered with a firm face.

“One year suspension.”

“Yes, yes?”

For a hunter, a year was a huge amount of time.

If an academy student’s graduation was delayed by a year, the ability and financial losses during that time would be unspeakable.

“A-Alright.”

“If the academy protests, tell them exactly what happened today. What an individual student did.”

“Yes. Then the schedule we were going to ask Hunter Kim to do again…”

“Hoo, put it on hold for now. And that friend was Takami, right?”

“Yes.”

“Process that friend’s one-year suspension and report it to Hunter Kim.”

“Yes, I understand.”

It could be seen as fortunate, but it could also be thought of as the complete opposite.

“A healer… with such movements.”

He didn’t check the situation from the beginning.

To be exact, it was around the time Seonghyun’s battle had passed a little.

A student named Takami was the representative of the academy’s first year and was a student who was good at fighting close combat hunters.

But Seonghyun had shown an overwhelming performance against this Takami.

Even with close combat.

He wasn’t just a simple healer.

He was already not simple just by being a healer, but after seeing that 모습, Japan had to find a way.

By any means.
