I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 94

Sung Hyun had intended to stay away from the Academy for a while, but there was something he needed to check.

‘I’ll stop by the Academy for a bit.’

How had things changed after that day?

Would the gazes directed at Sung Hyun still be filled with animosity?

As he confidently entered the Academy, the sophomores and juniors didn’t even glance at Sung Hyun.

Perhaps there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

It wasn’t what he had wanted, but they had brought it upon themselves, so Sung Hyun didn’t regret it.

After only checking the situation, Sung Hyun left the building again.

“I actually feel relieved.”

Initially, China had announced that South Korea was disqualified because they had arbitrarily used their abilities before the start of the competition.

They didn’t explain the reason in detail, but other countries might see it as a fallback option because they weren’t confident in winning the competition.

Of course, the representatives present saw it differently, but there was a significant difference between the perspective of an individual and that of an association or a country.

“The task is simple.”

He needed to increase his strength.

Judging from China’s recent actions, he didn’t know when something else might happen.

Until the end of his freshman year, he wanted to use the association’s equipment as much as possible, and then gradually expand his range of activities.

“I want to create a guild, but it’s impossible right now…”

Being an Academy student came with many benefits, but also many restrictions.

It would be easier to create a guild under someone else’s name, but among his acquaintances who met the requirements of being a Hunter, all were Academy students, making it difficult.

“Let’s go to the association for now.”

How many Rank 3 Gate monsters could he handle now?

A lot had happened since he last visited the association, and he had become quite strong in the process, so he would probably be able to handle a large number.

As he was about to head to the association, a window suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Emergency Quest Alert]

“Emergency… quest?”

[A prayer is being heard.]

“What is this…”

As he checked the strange contents of the window saying that a prayer was being heard, voices began to be heard very clearly, as if someone was whispering in his ear.

‘Ah… God…’

‘Your dedication has overcome a great crisis, but if things continue as they are, your creations will…’

It wasn’t a long message, but just hearing the content, he could understand what it was referring to.

“Wasn’t this the Gate where I cleared the Trial Quest?”

[Do you accept the quest?]

Since he had finished all his urgent tasks, this kind of quest wasn’t bad.

He was also curious about what their situation was like now.

“Accept.”

As soon as he finished saying he would accept, the window disappeared, and a strange energy began to swirl around his body.

“What, what is this?”

It felt similar to entering a Gate, but there was a constant feeling of being forcibly pulled, and with a brief, intense headache, the scenery changed in an instant.

“…Huh?”

“Huh?”

The scene that appeared with the completely gone headache was quite familiar.

A space that seemed to have been created to exude the most sacred atmosphere.

And in front of him, Arlo, dressed neatly in priestly robes, was looking up at Sung Hyun with eyes that didn’t seem like those of a king.

“A, Adellan-nim!”

“T, the Main God has answered!”

“The Main God has descended!”

The priests who were helping with the ceremony also began to shout, with tears of emotion in their eyes, at Sung Hyun’s sudden appearance.

“Q, quiet…”

“Everyone, be quiet!”

At Arlo’s single word, the inside of the temple became silent, and he knelt down on one knee and said.

“I am Arlo. We are truly honored that our prayers have reached the Main God.”

“…It’s nothing.”

His faith seemed to be at its peak more than last time, and Sung Hyun now quietly accepted being the Main God, as there was no turning back.

“S, so what is the situation?”

“With the Main God’s help, we drove back the monsters’ invasion and poured all our efforts into restoration. However, they wouldn’t retreat so easily. They poisoned the wells used by the people.”

“Is the poison similar to the one back then?”

“I’m… not sure. The physicians say that its form keeps changing, making it difficult to properly identify.”

Sung Hyun placed his hand on Arlo’s shoulder, who looked utterly heartbroken, and said.

“Let’s go.”

He felt a slight tremor through his hand on Arlo’s shoulder.

“Yes.”

Following Arlo, they arrived at the place where Sung Hyun had first come.

If there were wounded soldiers before, now there were also ordinary people.

The people who didn’t know who Sung Hyun was tried to get up from their sickbeds at the appearance of the king.

“It’s alright. Stay as you are. Main God, this is the situation, but there are many other places where people are lying sick.”

At the word Main God, the people looked at each other, trying to understand the situation.

Arlo couldn’t directly ask Sung Hyun to solve the problem.

As a believer who worships God, he hadn’t properly shown his faith, yet he was just receiving salvation.

“It’s not difficult.”

The situation wasn’t much different from before.

Purification would cleanly wash everything away.

Sung Hyun immediately used Purification.

At the same time, a warm light began to surround Sung Hyun’s body, and the people who had been looking at each other, trying to understand the situation at the word Main God, stared at Sung Hyun with wide eyes at the changes they felt in their bodies.

“It’s done.”

In that short time, without even taking long, just by spreading his hands, the illnesses of all the people in the room had completely disappeared.

“T, the Main God!”

“Oh God!”

The people who had been lying down because they were unwell now got up from their seats and knelt down towards Sung Hyun, bowing their heads.

“…Let’s go to the next place.”

“Yes!”

With Arlo’s answer filled with loyalty, Sung Hyun moved to the next location.

After visiting quite a few places, Sung Hyun finally headed to the place where the monsters had poisoned the well.

“This is the place.”

“Indeed…”

On the surface, it looked perfectly normal, but Sung Hyun could sense it.

‘Can I use Purification on inanimate objects like this?’

Sung Hyun, who was about to reach out and use Purification, soon withdrew his hand.

Then, he was about to use Materialization but looked at Arlo and said.

“Please bring me an empty cup.”

“An empty cup, you say? Yes. I understand.”

Arlo quickly brought an empty cup and handed it to Sung Hyun, who accepted it.

‘Well, I could have just used it…’

Since they think of me as the Main God, wouldn’t it be good to show them something more?

Of course, it wasn’t that he was intoxicated by their loyalty or had developed an overbearing sense of self-importance, but he wanted to make himself, who had become their hope, look a little more plausible.

“…!”

Sung Hyun used Materialization on the empty cup.

Then, an unidentified liquid began to appear in the cup that had nothing in it.

“T, this can’t be…!”

In the world where Arlo lived, magic wasn’t that rare.

Of course, Arlo was also someone who could use magic, so he was confident in his ability to distinguish between magic and non-magic.

‘Absolutely, absolutely not magic.’

He could create the same thing that Sung Hyun had just done with magic.

However, magic and what Sung Hyun had shown were fundamentally different.

If this situation were magic, the water vapor near the cup would have disappeared.

Magic could make small things big and few things many, but it couldn’t create something from nothing.

But what Sung Hyun had shown was creating something from nothing.

Things that only those called creators could do.

“This should be enough.”

Sung Hyun immediately poured the liquid in the cup into the well.

Then, the light that Sung Hyun had shown when he healed the people earlier began to appear from the well.

“It’s done.”

“I, is that the end?”

“Yes. The people will no longer be poisoned.”

Arlo had a rather complicated expression.

How much effort had he put into solving this problem until now?

It felt like all that effort was going to waste, but he was also moved by the fact that their prayers and calls had reached God.

“If something like this happens again…”

Sung Hyun created several bottles with Materialization and handed them to Arlo.

“If you pour this in like now, it will be fine.”

“Ah…”

Sung Hyun, seeing his face as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment, quickly changed the subject.

“You’ve gotten a lot better, though.”

“…Did you feel that way?”

“Yes. That’s how it feels.”

“…”

Arlo was silent for a moment, then smiled.

——————————————–

“It’s time for me to go.”

“How can we repay the grace you have bestowed…”

“Please take better care of your people.”

Arlo nodded with a determined expression, as if telling him not to worry.

“I hope we don’t see each other next time.”

Arlo smiled and replied to the words that contained his hope that he, called the Main God, would not be needed in this world in the future.

“Even if we don’t see each other, please listen.”

He knelt down on one knee and paid his respects, and Sung Hyun also left a light smile for Arlo and checked the window that appeared before him.

[You have cleared the quest.]

[If you wish to exit the Gate, you will automatically exit the Gate and receive rewards.]

[Would you like to exit?]

Just as he was about to answer that he would exit, a window appeared again with new content.

[A person with faith has been added.]

………………….

‘What, what is this.’

The window saying that a person of faith had been added appeared endlessly.

As if everyone in this world had faith in Sung Hyun.

Sung Hyun would have been happy if it were normal, but the extent was so excessive that he wondered if something was wrong.

And this wasn’t all.

[The number of people with faith has reached a certain number.]

………………

Sung Hyun, at the windows that followed, didn’t know what to do and just stared blankly at the windows.

“Are you… unwell?”

It was Arlo who brought Sung Hyun back to his senses.

“Ah. It’s nothing.”

Arlo, realizing that Sung Hyun’s expression was not serious due to something bad, did not say anything more and maintained his kneeling position until Sung Hyun left.

Sung Hyun also decided to figure it out after getting out of here, and declared the completion of the quest.

“Eternal loyalty.”

Arlo, who left a word like a promise to himself in the place where Sung Hyun disappeared, maintained that position for a while.
