Seonghyeon came out of the door and sat the man on a nearby chair, and he sat next to him.

“The big hurdle has been passed.”

As I sat in the chair with all the tension released, I was tired again this time.

“Why do I feel mentally exhausted every day…”

Of course, the physical pain was a bonus.

“Ugh…”

Seonghyeon, who was lamenting about his situation, turned his head to the small moan he heard next to him.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“This is…where…”

“As you can see, it’s a park near the door.”

“I, I must be…”

The man remembered what had happened.

Contrary to what he had heard before, a desperate situation in which a huge monster appeared in front of him.

The man wiped his face with both hands.

No, I was going to wipe it off.

“ah…?”

However, the touch on the face is only the area of a hand.

Upon realizing that one of his arms was missing, situations he had forgotten for a while began to come to mind.

He was attacked by that huge beast, and at the same time gave up an arm and treated it with his only ability.

In the dire situation of great pain, he lost his mind and collapsed while returning home after collecting the crystals with all his might.

And the last sight was Seong-hyeon, who was sitting next to him now.

All the situations are gradually being understood and accepted as reality, but not a single one has been accepted as the only one.

‘Why don’t you feel any pain in your arm?’

It was the most bizarre fact.

His arm was completely torn off, and he felt as if he had just woken up from his physical condition.

“The bleeding has stopped, and it will not be life-threatening.”

“Yes, yes?”

For a moment, the man did not understand what Seong-hyeon was saying.

Just looking at those words, it was as if he had healed him.

“Hey, are you a doctor by any chance?”

“…well, it’s similar.”

Then, suddenly, a memory flashed through my mind.

It was the fact that a hunter with healing powers had appeared on the news.

At the time, I wasn’t very interested in it because it was before my abilities even showed up, but when I think about the situation, if the man sitting next to me wasn’t the main character, I couldn’t explain any of the process so far.

The clear proof of that was that his arm, which he could see now, had healed.

“Wait, I hope you…”

“Please do what I haven’t seen.”

I was wearing a mask anyway, so I couldn’t check all of his faces, but from a man’s point of view, there was no way he could not recognize the lifesaver just because he wore a mask.

“Oh, no, how…”

“If it weren’t for me, I would have bought it anyway. Someone else was coming from behind.”

“…”

In fact, if it was time for the beasts to arrive by the man’s side, they would have encountered a hunter who was coming from behind.

very well timed.

“Then even your name…”

“…this is Kim Seong-hyun.”

“Kim…Seonghyun…I’m Park Han-wook. I won’t reveal it while you’re keeping it a secret today.”

“Could you rather go home?”

At Seonghyeon’s words, Hanwook looked at the empty spot where one arm was left and said with a bitter smile.

“Isn’t there a problem with walking?”

“That was… the best.”

At Seonghyeon’s words, Hanwook was momentarily speechless.

His voice was filled with guilt as if it had happened because of him.

“Then I will go in. Please go in carefully.”

“Once again…thank you.”

Han-wook bowed 90 degrees toward Seong-hyeon, who got up, and greeted him.

“It’s really okay. Me too… because I did it for some reason.”

“No matter what the circumstances, the fact that he saved me has not changed.”

“Haha, you are for sure. Then just…”

Seong-hyeon bowed his head toward Han-wook, who was still bowing his back, and then went back.

“Kim Seong-hyun…”

Han-wook looked endlessly at Seong-hyun’s back as he left.

“Come on, wait a minute…”

There was one thing I had forgotten.

The news did not simply inform about Seong-hyeon’s abilities.

The side effects were also reported.

“Uh, how…”

Han-wook looked at his severed right arm again.

New flesh had sprouted and completely covered the surface.

“Unbelievable…”

I couldn’t believe it.

The side effect of Seong-hyeon that I saw in the news was that he felt pain instead.

‘I don’t just owe my life.’

He saved his life, and at the same time, he took with him the pain that he might have suffered for the rest of his life.

‘Is this an option that ordinary people can choose?’

Saving others was something anyone could do if they put their mind to it with honest words.

Of course, you will need the corresponding skills.

But what about feeling pain instead?

Even if you have already guessed how big the pain will be?

How many people would think that they would use their abilities even under these conditions?

And even if they thought that way, how many people could actually take action?

“…thank you.”

Han-wook again bent his back toward where Seong-hyun was headed. If I had greeted Seong-hyeon who saved my life before, now it is with respect for the spirit of sacrifice and the courage to bear the pain of others.

“The life you saved. I will not use it in vain.”

What’s the big deal to lose one arm?

If you don’t have one, you can wield the sword with the other, and if you don’t have two arms, it’s enough to live in another way.

Seong-hyeon, who broke up with Han-wook, fell into thoughts on the way home.

‘Park Han-wook, Park Han-wook…’

I kept thinking about the name I’d heard somewhere, but unfortunately I couldn’t remember.

“Rather than that, is there any other way to check this skill level?”

It must have had something to do with the growth of healing power, but it felt like something was blocked by an invisible wall because it was invisible.

“Too unfriendly…”

If there was an unknown existence who showed this kind of window, he would probably be hoping for Sung-hyun’s growth, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of making it easy.

“It’s like he wants me to suffer…”

The ability to create the spirit of sacrifice seemed to have something to do with it.

If it wasn’t for it, it couldn’t have had anything to do with the pain like this.

[Opening]

“Opening?”

It was the funniest and most terrifying sound.

The word “open” appeared when discovering the healing ability, and the same word appeared when the ability was unlocked with the huge penalty of sacrifice.

[Faith]

“Faith… Sim?”

No matter how you look at it, the word that exudes a religious feeling, Seong-hyeon, who is not religious, could not understand why such a word that seemed to be related to religion appeared.

‘Is the unknown entity showing this window like a god?’

Many questions followed, but Chang showed the next word as if he was not interested in Seonghyeon’s thoughts.

[Faith: You are a god to someone.]

[The basic effect of Sacrifice is not applied when using abilities on people who support you.]

[The effect of the spirit of sacrifice is applied by an additional 10%.]

[If the subject is in pain, they can locate it.]

[However, you must receive blind faith and trust.]

“Five…”

For the first time, the ability to profit unconditionally appeared.

Moreover, there was no single benefit to be gained.

“For some, it’s a god… Maybe it’s Park Han-wook.”

Judging by the timing of the appearance of the window, there was no person who was in this regard except for Han Wook.

“Then, if I use my abilities on a person named Park Han-wook in the future, I don’t feel any pain, and I only improve my physical abilities with the spirit of sacrifice?”

Is there anything better than this?

Even if you simply increase the width of your physical ability increase, you’re grateful, but you don’t even feel pain.

And above all, being able to determine the location of the target was amazing.

“My family can’t apply…”

It was a bit disappointing because I couldn’t say that I should serve as a god, but I was very satisfied with this.

If you think about it, all the abilities had their tails on their tails.

None of them had any unrelated abilities.

“From now on, it will be more convenient to perform daily quests.”

It is speculation, but Park Han-wook probably started working as a hunter for his family.

If so, he would continue to appear at the door in the future, and unless he had experience yet, he had no choice but to get hurt.

“Is the fire extinguished right away?”

After all the situation was over, and having finished organizing the results of the situation, Seonghyeon sat down on the bench as if stretched out and sighed heavily.

‘This damn spear…’

It was clearly visible that he was trying to take the initiative somehow.

to the point of being irritable.

“Come on, let’s go and rest.”

Still, today was a very big harvest, so Seonghyeon headed home with a slightly lighter mind.

“What about today’s quest…”

[10 hours remaining for the daily quest for the sage]

Seonghyeon didn’t want Lee Chang to take the initiative anymore.

‘There are too many restrictions.’

Of course, considering the abilities obtained, this kind of restriction was not really a restriction.

Because there was not even a similar ability that existed in Korea, or in the whole world, only one.

But such rarity and initiative were different.

“What should I do with this annoying daily quest?”

In order to heal someone, it inevitably had to have a wound, and if it was a wounded person, there were many in the hospital or the place where it was wounded.

“…done. Let’s do this today.”

After all, it was something that only had to be done once a day, so Seong-hyeon decided not to worry too much about it.

As soon as Sunghyun finished thinking, the homeroom teacher, who was still a little hesitant, came in with heavy footsteps.

“Come on, there’s an ability test next week. do you all know And the next week, the Academy class representatives are elected.”

‘If it’s the class representative… Ah, that’s it.’

The class representatives were selected based on the test scores that came out every semester, and the class representatives competed against other class representatives in the first year.

All the grades went through the same process, and the representatives of each grade who gathered in that way had to compete again.

‘And after that…’

At the end of every year, there was a national competition, which can be said to be the festival of each academy.

“After all, it is difficult for first year students to enter the national competition, so think of it as gaining experience.”

Although the academy consisted of only adults, the difference between the age of 20 and the age of 21 was huge beyond imagination.

There is not much difference between 10 years of experience and 11 years of experience, but it is the same logic as there is a significant difference between a freshman and 1 year of experience.

Those who had just opened their abilities were the first year of the academy, and the second year were those who had accumulated countless experiences such as subjugation and fighting through the first year.

“Still, if you are selected as a first-year representative, you can ask the Academy Equipment Works to produce it.”

The classroom began to murmur at the word “Academy Equipment Manufactory”.

Basically, the equipment was on the very difficult side to make.

Crystals were sometimes used as materials, and there were not many hunters with production-related abilities.

“So that you can check the contents of the exam next week.”

After speaking, the homeroom teacher shuffled his shoes and left the classroom.

“…I wonder if the results of this test will be a little different.”

According to the memories before the return, Seong-hyeon was too far from such a test.

I got a score close to failing the test.

“You have acquired a new ability, but let’s not be vigilant.”

The first-year representative didn’t even want it, and at least a negative vote would be less damaging to my pride.
