Became the Only Healer in the Academy

76

Just before the Academy’s final confrontation begins.

Originally, the competition would have been held at a place that had been rented out separately, but as the visit was canceled, the competition was held at the academy just like the last time.

Seonghyeon, Inhwan, and Sangyeon were waiting in the waiting room, and the homeroom teacher came in shortly after.

“It is the rule of this match.”

Unlike the match between the second year and the third year, there was no such thing as a separate map.

“If the first match was about understanding the opponent’s captain, the second match was everyone’s cooperation, and the third was the completion of a specific mission, the rules of this match are very simple.”

The homeroom teacher took out a paper with three numbers on it, not a paper with a map, and put it on the table.

“It’s a great battle.”

“The Great War?”

“Are we going to have to choose a captain again this time?”

To Sang-yeon and In-hwan’s questions, the homeroom teacher shook his head and answered.

“no. This time, it will all be a 1:1 match.”

“1:1?”

“okay. Write your names on a piece of paper in order, and exhibit in that order. Opponents also compete in the same order as determined in advance.”

“Then, isn’t it that there is not much difference between the second year and the competition?”

This time, the homeroom teacher shook his head to answer Seonghyeon’s question.

“It is not. If the first player defeats the opponent’s first turn, the second opponent will face off. Of course, there is no time to rest in between.”

It was a very simple rule.

A battle of pure power, with no guessing or anything to bring.

“If you beat all three opponents like that, you win. It’s not that simple.”

“It’s simple.”

“If you write down your order here and hand it over to the person waiting in front of you, it’s a sign that you’re ready. It will start right away when the other person gives you the list.”

The homeroom teacher left the room with the pen next to the paper.

“What should I do in order? Do you have any thoughts?”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon answered Seong-hyeon’s question at the same time.

“For now, you are the last.”

“…why?”

In-hwan shrugged his shoulders in response to Seong-hyeon’s question.

“I have a foreboding of something. If you go out, I think we will all win.”

“It’s sympathetic.”

Inhwan and Sangyeon were not ignoring the 3rd graders either.

I knew very well that Seong-hyeon was only at an absurd level.

‘too fast…’

It was a common thought in their heads.

The speed at which Sung-hyun is growing is at a level that cannot be understood by common sense.

When I first met Seong-hyeon, if I asked if Seong-hyun’s ability was a tremendous ability, I would of course answer yes.

However, if I asked if such a Sung-hyun had tremendous power, I couldn’t answer that question with yes.

But now I was able to answer yes to the second question without any hesitation.

In particular, when we met two days after returning from Japan, the atmosphere was quite different from before.

I thought maybe it was an illusion.

Although In-hwan and Sang-yeon were academy students, they didn’t have the eyes to see people enough to notice that their opponents were getting stronger.

However, when the flooding occurred at the amusement park, the power of Seong-hyeon that was shown at that time was very different, even though it was different from before.

“Then who will do it first?”

“I’m leaving.”

“I do it.”

Inhwan and Sangyeon answered at the same time, and they both looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

“Am I leaving?”

“I’m coming.”

“…”

What happened was that if the two did not quarrel even for a day, they seemed to get sick.

“Just do rock paper scissors.”

“okay. Let’s make it simple with rock, paper, scissors.”

“Good. A man is a fist.”

As Inhwan watched the performance with his fists clenched and ready to perform, Inhwan smiled and pulled out the scissors.

“…”

“I’m sorry. Can’t you trust the team?”

“This…this child…”

Seeing In-hwan trying to swell, Sang-yeon showed a fishy smile, then grabbed a pen and proudly wrote her name in the first column and handed the pen to In-hwan.

“Well, the second one doesn’t matter.”

So the order was decided, and Seong-hyeon got up from her seat while holding the paper and said.

“let’s go.”

When I left the room, there was a person waiting, just as the homeroom teacher said.

“Are you ready?”

“yes. Here is the order.”

The man who took the paper put it into the device behind him and said,

“As before, today’s competition will be televised to academy students. So, good luck. Just keep going this way.”

“yes.”

The familiar arena of the match, Seong-hyeon, In-hwan, and Sang-yeon went all the way to the front just as the guide said.

“Can you handle them one by one?”

“If we lose, Seonghyun will win you.”

“I’ll take care of everything, so decide what you’re going to have for lunch or something today.”

At the same time as Sangyeon’s confident answer, the announcement that started the final battle of the academy came out.

“From now on, the number of people participating in the Academy National Competition will be determined. The rules are simple.”

The broadcast briefly explained the rules of today’s competition.

“Then, let’s begin.”

The space where today’s confrontation will be held was a space that felt like the Colosseum.

The three of them, located in the stadium like the Colosseum, were waiting for the next broadcast.

“I will call each representative in the order in which they were selected. First. Goo Goo-yeon, representative of the first year, and Jin-hyeok Kim, representative of the third year.”

After the call was over, the door to the center of the stadium opened.

“Goes.”

Sang-yeon slowly walked towards the door.

There was a short hallway waiting for him to hear nothing but the sound of his own footsteps.

Passing through that hallway, the 3rd grader who appeared to be waiting was waiting.

“Can I make you wait? You will need an education.”

“If you are in a higher grade, are you a senior? The stronger person is the senior.”

“…you can’t.”

Jinhyuk wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at Sangyeon at the sight of Sangyeon who responded with a light shrug.

“Now let’s get started. Once the outcome of the battle has been decided, the second turn of each team comes straight away.”

There was a broadcast announcing the start, but the two did not move.

‘If it’s Kim Jin-hyuk’s ability… things aren’t good.’

Sang-yeon remembered what Seong-wook had told her.

Jinhyuk’s ability, like Sangyeon, was specialized in close combat.

Paralyzes the body part of the target immediately after holding it for a certain period of time.

These were known facts, and Seongwook additionally informed them.

If the caught part is caught again, the whole body will be paralyzed, not that part.

Fortunately, though, the ability was applied only when the skin was caught.

‘You don’t have to be caught.’

“Aren’t you coming? Shall I go first?”

Jinhyuk’s expression was relaxed.

He didn’t seem to think about losing at all.

“Do whatever you want.”

After answering, Sangyeon took off the jacket she was wearing and started tearing it apart.

“…? what are you doing…”

Sang-yeon smiled lightly at Jin-hyeok’s question and started wrapping her fists with clothes.

up to the face.

“…What are you.”

Jinhyuk’s ability itself was of great value, but due to this weakness, he was not very good at dealing with the Hunter.

Of course, only those who know their weaknesses.

“why? Are you upset?”

“…a cheeky bastard. Don’t think that you can win. After all, it seems like you can’t use Berserk either.”

“…”

Because of the compatibility of their abilities, Sangyeon was also unable to use Berserk.

It wasn’t the ability to hurt.

No more words were needed, and Sang-yeon rushed to Jin-hyuk.

He said that he would save him from a crisis several times by wrapping it in clothes, but if the battle was long, it would be against him, so he was going to end it quickly.

“The operation to cover the body was good…”

Jinhyeok won the battle as long as he held onto his opponent.

That is why, of course, for the three years of the academy, from the moment he opened his abilities, he was a person who only trained to catch the opponent.

In other words, only in close combat, there were few people who could follow the opponent’s psychology, movement, speed, etc. in the academy.

“ね…!”

Jinhyuk was lightly dodging Sangyeon’s attack.

Maybe it was before he went crazy, so he was being pushed by Jinhyuk physically.

‘I have to do something wide…’

The opponent was not attacking and was just trying to catch him, so there was no way to go berserk.

‘Sheesh… I’ll have to change my strategy.’

This match is 1:1.

However, that was not all.

Whoever wins this battle will face the next opponent in succession.

‘There is no chance of winning.’

In the end, there is no answer other than self-harm to go berserk, and there was no way the other person could leave it alone and watch it.

Since this was the case, we had to look at the whole confrontation rather than the battle in front of us.

To make it as easy for Inhwan to deal with Jinhyeok as possible.

The method was to drain the opponent’s stamina as much as possible.

“Why are you just staring blankly? Have you already felt the wall?”

From the moment the plan was changed, Sangyeon’s movement changed completely.

In a move that was trying to put a valid hit somehow, the opponent made it difficult to move and made it move as little as possible.

And little by little, showing a gap, by inducing the opponent to attack, began to cut down the stamina.

“…what are we going to do now?”

Jinhyuk looked at Sangyeon with a confused expression.

A completely different movement, unlike the first, seemed to take the battle as long as possible.

“You have to figure that out yourself.”

The battle between Sang-yeon and Jin-hyeok continued for 30 minutes.

As the attack proceeded without any major attacks, only each other’s quarrels continued to the point of being boring.

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh…”

“Whoa…”

The two of them began to hear their breathing, and at first glance they both looked quite exhausted.

Seonghyeon, who had watched the entire battle from the beginning, muttered with a look of surprise.

“Did Sangyeon do it smart?”

“yes? why?”

“Sangyeon can’t use Berserk right now. The opponent’s fighting style doesn’t hurt. So I leave it to you.”

“…ah…”

In-hwan seemed to understand the intention of Sang-yeon at that time.

Realizing that he has no chance of winning, the goal is to make it as easy as possible for Inhwan to deal with.

“It will be over soon. Get ready.”

“Is it over?”

In-hwan, who looked at Seong-hyeon again at Seong-hyeon’s words, checked the stadium on the broadcast.

“The second student from the 1st grade representative enters the stadium right away.”

Sangyeon abstained first.

“…”

Soon the door to the stadium opened, and Inhwan entered through that door.

A very tired Sangyeon was walking in front of me.

“Would that be enough?”

“okay. Thank you. I am resting.”

At Inhwan’s resolute voice, which was quite different from usual, Sangyeon smiled and tapped Inhwan’s shoulder a couple of times and walked to Seonghyeon’s place.

In-hwan, who arrived at the stadium, looked at Jin-hyuk, who was holding his breath.

“Since the first one looks like that, I can’t wait to see the next one…”

Before Jinhyuk could even finish speaking, Inhwan immediately used his ability.

‘Fire.’

“This bastard…!”

Jin-hyeok, who barely escaped by throwing his body aside, tried to counterattack, but it was a little difficult to deal with In-hwan with his already slightly exhausted body.

Jinhyeok eventually fell to the floor at the second use of the utterance, and a second opponent from the third year came in.
