Became the Only Healer in the Academy

191

Inside the store, there were a few people who could not even eat properly due to the incident that had just happened and were looking outside.

“Sit for a moment. It will be ready soon.”

The old man, who spoke with the same smile as last time, was a little limp and headed for the kitchen, unlike the last time.

“You certainly don’t look in good shape.”

“…I’m worried.”

I wanted to try treatment right away, but Sunghyun personally felt that there was something more important than treatment.

But the most important thing to him was not money, not even health.

These were the moments I wanted to protect until I gave up on both of them.

“rich.”

“yes?”

Since it was Seonghyeon, who always gave the name Nim, Richie looked quite embarrassed even though his name was just called.

In the first place, except for you, everyone around you could not call you except you.

“Everything will be fine. If you keep showing that kind of expression even now, will you worry more about it?”

“Oh, I guess. thank you.”

Seong-hyeon’s healing ability itself had already far surpassed that of modern medicine, and since such Seong-hyun came to the place, all of Uncle’s ailments would be healed this evening at the latest.

It’s money, Sunghyun and Richie themselves were overflowing with rotting money.

“Have you waited long? Enjoy it. Hunter Kim Seong-hyun, please enjoy it too.”

“thank you.”

It was the same size plate as last time, but the number of dishes on it was different from the last time.

It seemed that he could not even get food properly due to financial pressure.

“Is it tastier than the last time?”

“haha! Yes? I know I can’t cook, but there’s one thing I’m sure of.”

“What?”

“It’s just that you’re doing better today than you were yesterday. haha.”

The sincerity was evident in the expression on the man’s face as he said that.

Actually, the taste wasn’t that different from last time.

“Are there a lot of guests these days?”

“It’s a lot less than it used to be. There is a regular flooding of the first-class gates nearby, so people don’t come to this neighborhood very often.”

If you were to say that Uncle was a guest, except for special cases like Richie, most of them were homeless or low-level hunters who barely spoke.

In fact, they only had one body, so they must have stopped visiting the place overflowing with the most threatening beasts.

‘It’s not just a matter of fewer customers for you.’

The fundamental reason for starting this store was gradually disappearing.

Now, the store itself was on the verge of disappearing completely.

“rich. no words today? Did you have any troubles?”

“Oh, no. I just wondered why I didn’t come here often.”

“Haha, what can I do about being busy? I wish I could see you every day, but I prefer to come here every now and then.”

In the first place, coming to this store every day meant things weren’t so good, Richie just nodded without a word.

“What time are you open today?”

“At least until evening. There are fewer customers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t come at all.”

Uncle was the one who would wait for him if even one person came to the store.

“okay? By the way, we are also free today, so we should take some time off here.”

“haha. that’s good It’s a little hard to get around outside, isn’t it? Hunter Kim and Richie are famous people. Definitely not bad here if you want to meet secretly.”

“mister!”

The man left his words and hurriedly returned to the kitchen.

Because of that, there was a slightly awkward atmosphere, but the awkwardness was not uncomfortable, so Seonghyeon and Richie both finished their meal.

“I’ve only been here twice, but there are really fewer customers than before.”

“Isn’t there any way we can do this?”

“The only choice is to subdue the first-class gate…”

However, the nearby first-class gates cannot be subjugated as of now.

In the end, the other method had to be repeated over a long period of time to stop the flooding without any damage.

“Then how about this?”

“Is there any other way?”

“Isn’t it impossible to subdue the first-class gates or to prevent regular flooding without any damage?”

“yes. Yes?”

As Seonghyeon led the conversation for a little longer without saying the main point, Richie started to focus on Sunghyun as if he was more curious.

Thanks to that, my worries and regrets about my uncle disappeared a little, and Seong-hyeon, who confirmed it, also talked about the main point.

“It’s about changing the way you think.”

“You mean to change your perception…?”

Richie kept thinking about what Seonghyeon meant, but couldn’t figure out the exact intention.

“rich.”

“Yes Yes?”

“What kind of work do I do in Korea? Do you know?”

“I know that we have a system for educating hunters. to a considerable degree as well. Although the academy consists of practical classes, the theory itself cannot be completely ignored.”

“You know exactly. So, do you know why I started doing this?”

“Isn’t it because of the sudden change in the door?”

Richie knew it too.

In fact, it was a strange situation not to know.

“Yes. sudden change of door. Isn’t Richie doing something similar right now?”

“yes. I definitely felt the need. While we were able to increase the strength of our guild, at the same time, the level of the hunters increased…”

Richie, who continued to answer Seonghyeon’s questions, felt something strange.

With a flash of thought for a moment, Richie stopped what he was saying and stared at Sunghyun with his big eyes.

“…no way…”

“Right. Wouldn’t it be simple?”

The words were simple.

Because what Seonghyeon is saying now means to do it like you do.

In that way, if the level of the Hunters began to rise little by little, it was clear that the perception of the uncle would also change.

It’s not that I stopped visiting this place or this neighborhood because it’s dangerous, it’s that I can get away from the situation where this store is my only lifeline in the first place, and I can live comfortably with the things I want to eat and have.

Of course, that didn’t make things better for everyone who came to the store.

But rather, it was a better situation.

“If that happens, won’t people express their gratitude to you too? It was thanks to you that I was able to survive until now.”

For them, Richie would be a benefactor in getting them out of a desperate situation, and Uncle would remain the only lighthouse that supported them in such a desperate situation.

“If that happens, I think there will be countless benefits, not just for you. But I can’t do it like Hunter Kim on my own.”

I wasn’t talking about the size of the power I had.

Because it was more important whether or not there were people to check the power.

However, this problem could be solved by Sung-hyun.

“I promise to support the association.”

“Are you from the Korean Association?”

“no. American Association. And I will help too.”

Quite an attractive offer.

Until now, I had some time to figure out what kind of person Seong-hyeon was and what he was pursuing.

“I will accept that offer…”

“You thought well. For more details, first treat him and share.”

“yes.”

Quite a while has passed since I was talking to Richie, and it was dinner time in a little bit.

And in line with this, Manager Cha also spoke from within the cracks.

“I got it all figured out.”

“…for awhile.”

“yes.”

Seong-hyeon, who came out after asking Richie for forgiveness, listened to everything from Manager Cha.

Where are they, how much they have, how much they have done, and with whom they are connected.

“It’s not a big company, but it was also related to a place that has maintained a reputation. This redevelopment was the biggest thing they’ve ever done, and the store keeps turning them down, so I guess they’ve done this.”

Manager Cha also handed over documents related to the uncle.

“You’ve got a lot of detail in that short amount of time.”

“There are many advantages to not being noticed. As you can see, there is nothing wrong with the contract itself. Too clean.”

“does not matter.”

“And I brought this too.”

What the manager, who was a little hesitant, brought, was related to his uncle’s shop as well as other shops, and it contained information about what would happen as a result of the redevelopment of this place.

“Ha, that’s fun.”

As soon as they realized that the first-class gates were flooded regularly, they immediately started planning the redevelopment.

The purpose of the plan is to create a landmark.

And the center of the landmark was none other than the regular flooding of the first-class gates.

As they are hard to see beasts, using them as a tourist product.

I didn’t like the idea of using the beast as a tourist product, but because of the overflowing beast, the number of customers decreased and the overall sales decreased, all of the nearby stores had no choice but to hand over their stores at a low price.

“To them, the flooding of a first-class gate would be seen as a bonanza. Once a month. Also, the demonic beasts that overflow on a set date. It won’t be difficult to use it as a spectacle as long as you give it to the hunters who come to prevent flooding.”

As Manager Cha said, this business was a one-season business, but it was a huge business that came once a month.

“But how did you get things done so quickly?”

“The approval itself was approved not as a tourism business, but as a business to prevent the overflow of beasts.”

“…I don’t feel good.”

“So do i.”

Seong-hyeon checked all the documents he received, took only the documents of the uncle, and handed it back to the manager Cha.

“You suffered.”

“What else would you like me to do…”

“I’ll have to wait for you to heal your uncle and go away for a while.”

“Are you going to go by yourself?”

“yes. Are you saying there’s no legal problem?”

Very subjectively, Seong-hyeon did not think that all that was legal was not good, and that that that was illegal was all that was evil.

That was the case now.

Under the name of law, if the strong did something unfair to the weak, it was an evil thing by Seonghyeon’s standards.

“Originally, the strong should talk to the strong. Yes?”

“It is questionable whether they can exist as a strong person in front of Hunter Kim, but it is true.”

“Then I’ll call you back later.”

“Yes.”

Soon after, Manager Cha disappeared into the crack, and Seong-hyeon went back to the store.

In the meantime, there have been quite a few guests, but the vacancy is only half filled.

It probably didn’t come any more than this.

The evening hours that my uncle had been waiting for had all passed.

The store no longer comes to visit.

It was the same on this street.

Because the date of the flooding was not far away.

“mister. Let’s talk for a moment.”

After everything was cleaned up, Richie spoke to the uncle first.

“okay. Do you want to?”

As if he already knew what he was talking about, he answered with a nodded expression on his face that was markedly different from what he had seen before.
