Became the Only Healer in the Academy

169

After Seong-hyun left, the meeting went very smoothly and harmoniously.

“Then the academy will proceed like this.”

“Yes. All right.”

The future plans were laid out very simply.

All three of them work together, but do not cooperate in the process of creating the foundation.

It’s just that everyone knows what to do.

All those who came for the meeting also returned, and Seong-hyeon looked at In-hwan sighing in relief and said.

“Did you do better than you thought?”

“You should be fine. I am the leader of the guild.”

“Haha, the real thing.”

“So when are you leaving?”

“Now go.”

“Where are you planning to go?”

The most important thing to get people’s support was rumors.

No matter what I did, it would mean nothing if the rumors of doing it didn’t spread.

“I will go to the most neglected place first.”

No matter what Seong-hyeon’s intentions are, people only see what they want to see.

Under the same circumstances, what if Seong-hyeon steps into a remote area that no one cares about and does good deeds?

Just add a few more elements that people will love, and the rumors would spread like crazy.

“Be careful. You never know what will happen.”

In fact, I was going to give a formal answer because Sung-hyun was not in a position to be worried about, but In-hwan interrupted Seong-hyun’s words and said.

“I’m not saying that because you’re worried. Don’t you have no mercy when someone is after you?”

“Um, right?”

“Well, I don’t mean to show mercy, because there’s nothing good about having blood on your hands.”

“That’s right. As long as we don’t argue first, there won’t be any problems.”

In-hwan did not speak any more at the answer with a firm will.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like the way Seonghyun handled it in the first place, so there was no need to say anything more.

“I just want it to be as you want it to be, as planned.”

“So do I.”

Seonghyeon greeted Inhwan with a light smile and then went out.

“Now, where shall we go first?”

——————————————–

“quickly!”

“Heh heh, heh heh…”

There was no answer to the voice that was calling out to someone.

All but the sound of a heavy breathing.

Kathman, now 8, was the youngest head of the family with five younger brothers and a mother.

Digging for gold is all I can say about my daily income.

There was one more thing I could do besides this, but this was the only place I could eat while working at the same time.

‘This is not enough.’

The money they now receive was not enough just to live and eat.

All I have to do is get money to feed my sick mother and younger siblings.

It was from the moment I realized that.

Little by little, the mined gold was stolen.

It was the same today.

At the hour when work was almost over, and at that moment when a little bit of surveillance was neglected, excited about the fact that he was leaving work, Kathman, as usual, shoved a small amount of gold dust into the deepest part of his clothes.

“Okay, it’s over.”

“okay. Good work.”

Two coins falling on two politely spread hands.

It was such a small amount of money that I thought it would be more valuable to sell scrap metal weighing the same weight as this coin.

“thank you.”

But without this, everyone will starve.

It doesn’t matter if he starves, but he couldn’t see his little sisters who were just walking around and their mother, who was on the verge of death, starving.

As he turned around with the coin he had received, a strong hand grabbed Cartman’s hand.

“Why, why?”

“You, pockets.”

“Why are you…”

There was no answer to the second question.

The rough hand that had just grabbed his hand slapped Katman’s cheek.

Kathman tried to collapse in a mind so distant that he couldn’t even scream, but even that rough hand wouldn’t allow it.

“Say it right. gold dust. Did you steal it?”

At that question, my mind wandered back quickly.

If this fact is discovered, it does not end with punishment.

I couldn’t work anywhere near here in the future.

In other words, the whole family will starve to death.

“Oh no!”

“Huh, to be honest, I’ll stop with firing you.”

“Really, really didn’t steal!”

“…”

A rough hand began to rummage through Cartman’s pocket.

“Hmm…”

“Uh, isn’t it? I’ll just go…”

“Take off your pants.”

“Yes Yes?”

“The pants. Take it off before tearing it apart.”

The man’s eyes really had the momentum to tear his pants.

“That, that… it could be…”

Not only his hands, but Katman’s whole body began to tremble.

fear.

What are you afraid of?

Being punished, being cut off from work. family starving to death.

All of this came together as a single emotion, fear, and began to encroach on Kathman.

“I, I… I mean… that’s…”

“This bastard…”

The man frowned and ripped off Katman’s pants.

Then some of the powder fell to the floor with a unique glow.

“Ha… hey. I thought your mother was sick too, so you gave her a job, and you hit the back of the head like this?”

“Oh, no. Really, really not!”

Kathman almost wailed in denial, but again he couldn’t hear it.

“What is it? Did you just come up with evidence like this?”

“Hey, this is… because my mother was sick… I was going to pay it all back later! As long as my mother gets better…”

The man snorted at the sight of Kathman arguing with his mother.

“Hey, hey! Come here.”

Others who had been tidying up at the man’s call began to gather.

“What’s going on?”

“What is this situation?”

“Look at this. What came out of these little pants.”

The yellowish powder from the man’s hand was gold.

It wasn’t fully polished as it was still before work, but the people in charge of this place knew very well what it was.

“haha! Do you still have a bastard like this?”

“Gang is good.”

“Yeah, it’s good. The results will be bad.”

“I, I mean…”

Their eyes did not look at Cartman as a child.

Thieves who just stole theirs.

I only saw him as a very bad thief.

“Aww!”

Kathman’s screams began to resound.

ask anyone to help

It was a scream of earnest strength asking him not to turn away, but no one could hear it.

In fact, it was closer to not hearing than not hearing.

“Whoa…don’t come out here anymore. If I see you nearby, I know that your family will not be safe either.”

The man quickly wiped the blood off his hands, spit on Kathman who had lost consciousness, and left.

How much time had passed, and nothing came into Kathman’s eyes as he slowly opened his eyes.

“Ugh…”

sad and upset

It was painful and disappointing.

If they had special powers like those called Hunters, at least the family wouldn’t go hungry?

Maybe he could earn money to treat his mother’s illness?

Kathman was sad that he couldn’t do anything for his family, and he resented his own incompetence.

The wounds they received were painful, and he resented the god who created him in such an environment.

“Ugh…Mom…”

Now I couldn’t even remember what color my mother’s eyes were.

Was it warm in your arms? Was your mother’s voice low? was it high?

It felt like I was going to lose my mind again, but I couldn’t.

If I lose my mind like this again and tomorrow morning comes, I could have been beaten again more than I was beaten today.

“Ugh…”

Kathman barely stood up, grabbing his knees with both hands and moving forward slowly.

At home by now, the younger brothers, who had yet to endure hunger and fell asleep, would be waiting.

“Little boy.”

At that moment, Cartman was startled by a voice coming from just behind his back, and he swung his hand supporting his knee.

“Who are you?!”

“Well, you have to be careful. I don’t think I’m even strong.”

“Who, who… are you?”

Judging from his poor vocabulary, he wasn’t here.

However, seeing him wearing a hood and covering his face, he was not very trustworthy.

“Is it better than that?”

“…do you look okay?”

“Haha, I asked you something.”

He answered bluntly and supported his shaky knees again with both hands, and a strange and suspicious man’s hand was placed over his head.

“Wow, what are you doing…!”

He threw it away as wildly and quickly as possible, but it wasn’t that fast because his body had already been worn out.

“Now, if you keep doing it, I will report it to the village security guard…”

Cartman, speaking in a rather threatening voice, stopped.

“uh?”

For a moment, it felt like my head was all empty.

It seemed as if all the distractions had disappeared, and even the pain had disappeared.

No, the pain is gone.

“Are you okay now?”

“You, you… no, who are you…”

“me?”

The suspicious man, who thought for a moment at Cartman’s question, answered in a voice that seemed to be smiling.

“okay. A pilgrim would be suitable.”

“pilgrim?”

It was the first time Kathman had ever heard the word pilgrim itself, but he could quickly infer its meaning.

“What is your name?”

“Kah, it’s Kathman.”

“Katman. That’s a good name. your parents?”

“…Father ran away, and my mother was ill…”

“I see. It must have been difficult.”

“…”

There were no words of consolation.

Just saying it was hard.

Even today, it was a word from a suspicious man I didn’t even know the face I met for the first time, but for some reason the tears didn’t stop.

“Ugh…black…”

It was Kathman who didn’t cry when he was beaten up like that by the men.

The man only looked at such a cart.

He didn’t even give me a warm hand, and he didn’t say anything else.

for so long

“Are you all crying now?”

“…yes.”

“But where is your mother sick?”

“I don’t know either. A few days after my father disappeared, he suddenly collapsed.”

“Does Kathman believe in me?”

“…yes.”

It was Kathman who was surprised by the answer that came out quicker and more clearly than expected.

Except for the family so far.

Because even his father didn’t believe in Katman.

“Then can I see your mother’s condition?”

“…yes!”

Kathman did not expect this suspicious man to heal his mother.

Cartman knew better than anyone that expectations were rather poisonous, so it was satisfying to have someone who could empathize with his situation.

“okay. Then let’s go.”

The suspicious man bent down and extended his hand to Kathman, who looked at it and then raised his bruised hand.

“yes!”

houses that are all falling down.

Among those houses, the walls and roof were made of cloth. Arriving at the hut rather than the house, the man went inside with Kathman.

Judging by the squeaking noises here and there, it seemed that there were quite a few children.

“Everyone is sleeping now.”

Cartman lowered his voice to avoid waking up, and the man lowered his voice accordingly.

“I rather like it. I just need to see my mother and go out.”

“yes! Stay in the corner.”

The place Kathman pointed to was only two steps away from the man’s footsteps.

A place close enough to see its shape even without a single light.

The man stepped forward cautiously to avoid waking the sleeping children, standing in front of Kathman’s mother and looking down.

“I can’t say I won’t suffer in the future, but at least I will have a place to lean on.”

“…yes?”

As soon as the man finished speaking, a small light began to fill the hut.
