Became the Only Healer in the Academy

120

“sorry.”

After leaving the door, the professor who led the subjugation today bowed down to Sung-hyun and apologized.

“yes? Why apologize…”

“I thought I would at least follow the instructions, but at the end of the day, something bad happened.”

“no. Thanks to that, I was able to see a few people who stood out, and now I know for sure. their level.”

Since he didn’t say it lightly, Seonghyeon’s words could be heard by other students, but no one could refute these words.

If it hadn’t been for Seonghyun, sacrifices could have been made like last year’s subjugation.

“You worked harder than that. professor.”

Seonghyeon bowed to the professor and greeted him.

The professor was restless as he did not know what to do, but he had no intention of saying goodbye.

A real teacher I haven’t seen in a long time.

If I had met Professor Lee before returning, would Seong-hyeon’s life have been different?

“Oh, no. Of course, I just did what I had to do…”

He was a newly appointed professor as he entered his freshman year this time, and he was a professor whom Seong-hyeon did not remember.

“Thank you for the rest of your schedule.”

“Yes. I wish you well too.”

The next subjugation schedule is one week later.

The test schedule was the same, but the subjugation schedule was extended, and the schedule rolled quite tight, and thanks to that, the subjugation schedule was set a week later.

In the next week’s subjugation, there was no chance that Seonghyeon would go out.

It was also a subjugation of the second graders, and, like the first grade, they took classes in a group, so they boasted a fairly high level of killing the demons compared to the second year of last year.

Thanks to that, he was able to subdue the 3rd-class gates that did not cause mutations without difficulty.

“Huh, this subjugation has ended without a hitch.”

At the professor’s voice filled with relief, Seonghyeon also nodded in response.

“Compared to last year’s sophomore year, it’s really good to form a group and face the Beasts.”

“Yes. Subjugation comes first. Now that the subjugation of the second year is over, we will proceed with the classes according to the improvement of each individual’s ability.”

The only thing left in the sophomore year is actually selecting a class representative, but since last year’s academy representatives Seonghyeon, Inhwan, and Sangyeon were holding on firmly, the schedule was no different.

“Hunter-sama, how do you view this first year?”

It sounded like a question to a professor.

“To be honest, everyone but one…”

Seonghyeon deliberately blurted out the end of her speech, and the professor seemed to agree.

“Hunter-sama may know this, but the hunters in Korea are getting weaker as time goes by. The current sophomore year is the same.”

Except for Seonghyeon’s team in the second year, it was slightly weak compared to the second year of the previous year.

‘That’s not wrong.’

Looking back on the memories before the return, for about five years from now, the hunters in Korea have gradually weakened.

Among them, exceptional personnel only appeared occasionally, and the average level was only falling.

Fortunately, it did not fall after that, but it only maintained the status quo, and at that time, Korea’s status ranking fell further from 20th to 37th.

No matter how easy it was to change the rankings outside of the top 10, the change that took only a few years from 20th to 37th was not convincing just because it was easy to change.

“I will never let that happen.”

He was a man with a clear dream.

As neither the principal nor the professor, the scope of what he could do was obviously not very wide, but he did not seem like a person who would bend his mind just for that reason.

“Do you, professor, want Korea’s status ranking to rise?”

Perhaps he didn’t expect Seong-hyeon to ask a question, the professor was startled and answered with a slightly hardened face.

“Of course, that’s fine, but…there is a different reason.”

“which…”

“The extinction of beasts.”

In fact, if you think about it, you could think that there would be many people who wanted the extinction of the beast.

But now the world is not like that.

Ironically, those who had a lot were choosing to coexist with the beast.

And it was the same for those who had enormous power to subdue the beasts.

The benefits brought by the beasts were incomparably larger than those of the time when the beasts did not exist, and once tasted it, it was impossible to let go.

This was not just the idea of those who had a lot of silk.

Without it, as it is, as it is, if it exists, people gradually began to continue their lives through the use of magical beasts.

It was also part of the worries that Sunghyun had when she cleared the last door of level 5.

“How amazing. There aren’t many people around me who wish for the extinction of beasts.”

“It would be. It’s going to be hard to get rid of as ordinary people become extraordinary and start to have things they couldn’t have.”

For a brief moment a voice of deep hatred was heard, but the professor immediately captured it.

“Still, I have some good news for you.”

“Yes? what…”

The professor, who had sent a puzzled look to Seong-hyeon, burst into laughter at Seong-hyun’s subsequent words.

“I am of the same opinion. The extinction of beasts.”

Although it is an internal matter that cannot be confided to anyone, the professor also realized that there were circumstances that he could not tell Seong-Hyeon.

“If it’s Hunter-sama… it seems possible.”

The conversation, which is hard to see as a conversation between a professor and a student, has come to an end, and today’s schedule must have ended, the professor said, looking at the first and second graders who came out of the door to catch their breath.

“I’m glad everyone wasn’t hurt. In fact, it was a subjugation where you couldn’t get hurt if you got hurt. You can go back now.”

The professor, who had stayed until all the students left, also left.

Seonghyeon, who watched all of this, went straight to the academy, not elsewhere.

The other professors had the knowledge and experience before the return, but now that professor doesn’t exist, so I thought it was necessary to find out a bit.

Of course, that wasn’t the only thing.

The professors Seong-hyeon knew were all there was nothing special or angular.

Except for the professor who was the homeroom teacher.

But even though this professor is different, he is a very different being.

Irrespective of the need to find out, pure curiosity arose.

Upon arriving at the academy, Sung-hyun went straight to the principal’s office.

“Well? Isn’t it Hunter Kim Seong-hyun? Did you have any problems with subjugation? I didn’t see any…”

“no. There is something I want to ask you personally.”

Perhaps he liked the word “personal”, the principal stood up with a satisfied smile and guided Seong-hyeon to the seat.

“It is an honor for the top-ranking hunter in Korea and the number one hunter to ask me personally.”

When he said this with his characteristic smirk, Seonghyeon coughed in vain, feeling embarrassed for nothing.

“…don’t let it float too much.”

“haha. I’ll be careful. If you’re going to give it to me rather than that, it’s definitely the academy’s job, right?”

“That’s right.”

We directly followed the car and put it in front of Seong-hyeon, and the professor waited for Seong-hyeon’s question.

“The professor who was in charge of the joint subjugation of the 1st and 2nd graders.”

“Oh, you are talking about Professor Seongwook Seongwook. He was such a hindu person to bring him in.”

There seemed to be a bit of pity and sympathy mixed in the principal’s voice as he said that.

“Are you talented?”

“Yes. He is a very capable person. He was the one who ran a separate academy for hunters. And it’s free.”

“Is it free? You mean Hunter Academy?”

“That’s right. They did not give in to pressure from the people around them, and they operated it for free, but the pressure gradually got worse and eventually closed the business.”

Since ability was both wealth and the future, a place called an academy that developed that ability was operated at a fairly high price.

Since such academies were run free of charge, it was natural to receive checks from other academies nearby.

“In the end, only negative rumors continued to spread, and the rent for the building was high, so I couldn’t stand it. In a way, the academy was also lucky. It’s no different than what I was able to bring…”

“It’s definitely a hard-to-find person.”

“Yes. But, Hunter, why did Professor Seongwook Seongwook have any problems?”

In an instant, the smirk and leeway he had shown so far disappeared in the principal’s eyes, and a genuinely worried expression appeared.

“no. Rather, it is the opposite.”

“Huh… that’s good. I was worried about what would happen if Hunter-sama didn’t like it.”

If there was any problem with Seong-hyeon, the principal was thinking of throwing out Professor Seong without any regrets.

Professor Sung was a little, no, not a lot, compared to the name of a sophomore, academy representative, and Korea’s top hunter.

“Professor Sung is actually famous for hating witches.”

“Is that so?”

The part I was most curious about.

Why does Professor Sung wish for the extinction of the beast?

“Professor Sung has a daughter, and it is said that he was attacked the other day when there was an overflow of magical beasts.”

“then…”

“I have been in a vegetative state for about six years. It happened when I was six, so now I’m 12.”

But that wasn’t all.

“And while protecting our daughter from the flood, her wife also died.”

“You can only hope for the extinction of the beast.”

“That’s why the academy was run free of charge. He was the best teacher for the lowest level hunters, as he had the ability to deal with the beast of a third-class door that had been mutated alone.”

After listening to the principal’s explanation, there were parts that I did not understand even more.

If your daughter was in that situation, could she have asked herself?

Why didn’t Professor Seong make such a request or even express it?

Perhaps the principal also noticed Seong-hyeon’s question, so he slowly opened his mouth.

“Professor Sung is such a person.”

One simple word without detailed explanation.

such a person

Even without an explanation, I was able to figure out who he was at once.

“Still, it’s really great. My daughter hasn’t woken up for 6 years, and she hasn’t expressed much expression…”

What if it was Sunghyun?

As soon as we met, I thought that I might have knelt to my knees and prayed.

Perhaps even though Professor Sung had weaker strength and ability than Seong-hyeon, he seemed to be a stronger person on the inside than anyone else.

“Hmmm… I heard that Professor Sung’s daughter is at Seir Hospital…”

“Yes?”

“Ah, no. I said this just in case Hunter might be curious.”

His characteristic smirk smiled as if he was predicting how Seonghyeon would move.

“Ah, Serene Hospital?”

“Ah, no, Sale Hospital…”

Seeing the principal who hastily corrected the name of the hospital, I burst into laughter, and the principal realized that Seong-hyeon was joking and burst into laughter as well.

“This is true. You hear it and put it down.”

“Until now, the principal has been like that.”

“Hmmmm…”

“Sale Hospital… I see. See you next time.”

The next time we meet, Professor Sung’s face can be clearly seen, so the principal smiled as he looked at Sunghyun’s back as he left the room as if he was satisfied.
