Became the Only Healer in the Academy

16

“What…!”

The Japanese side jumped up from their seats and tried to protest, but was blocked by the US.

“You do that. It’s a matter that is decided by a meeting anyway.”

“Okay…”

It was not someone else’s words, but the US side, so Japan had no choice but to sit down.

“It’s just my personal opinion…do you really need a meeting?”

When the United States was making these remarks without anyone else’s words, there was no place to argue against it.

And it wasn’t wrong at all.

“Then I will understand that there is no objection.”

Today’s meeting ended in a succinct way.

Without Seong-Hyeon, the ranking of Korea’s status at today’s meeting would have been even lower.

After the meeting, the president and vice president of the association stopped by the break room for a while before leaving the meeting room.

“Huh… you took a breath.”

“You suffered. Japan…again, this time too, they were very active.”

“Well, what are you going to do? Isn’t it like a custom?”

“Anyway, I’m glad. Thanks to Sunghyun Kim…”

The vice president sighed in relief, but the president’s expression was not so bright.

No, it was rather dark.

“Actually, it wasn’t the best way to tell the media. It’s like compelled to sacrifice for the sake of the nation’s prestige without the least things in place to protect Kim Seong-hyun.”

“Still, we got more than we wanted.”

The president of the association sighed heavily and sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

“Whoa… how’s the academy schedule?”

“There will be a representative selection match soon.”

In the national competition to be held at the end of the year, I had to achieve good results this time.

Failure to do so could result in a drop in the status ranking that was raised today again.

“Are there any notable talents?”

At the question of the president of the association, the vice president wrinkled his brow for a moment and fell into thought.

The thought showed no sign of coming to an end, and the president of the association said with a bitter smile.

“I don’t think there are any notable talents.”

“Still, isn’t Kim Seong-hyun worth noting?”

“Isn’t it judged by the value of ability?”

The national competition was not an easy competition.

It was no different from the modern version of the Colosseum, as it was not a place to simply compare abilities, but a perfect battle, and in fact, life was endangered.

“Please give the best support you can to Seong-Hyun Kim. There has been a change in the national status rankings, so we don’t know what will happen in the future.”

“Yes.”

The president of the association exhaled the last smoke with a sigh and got up from his seat rubbing the ashtray next to him.

“let’s go.”

Seonghyeon arrived near the one-person gate that is open today.

“Not yet?”

I couldn’t remember the exact opening time, so as soon as the academy was over, I arrived near the opening location and waited.

As I was sitting on a bench waiting, I heard a voice from somewhere.

“yes? No, it is. yes. right.”

‘Wait, that person…’

It was definitely a familiar face.

However, this was not the person I met in this life.

‘It’s him!’

The person who entered through the single door was the person walking down the street on the phone now.

‘That’s…’

Seonghyeon swallowed a large amount of saliva without knowing it in tension.

As if his prediction was correct, he felt something foreign from behind and his back began to cool down.

‘Open…’

The moment he realized that it had been opened and looked back, the door sucked in Sung-hyun as if he had no intention of giving him time to prepare.

“Ugh…!”

A completely different sense from when he crossed the normal door stimulated Seong-hyeon’s five senses and even his sixth sense.

If just floating and dark vision were typical doors, it’s the complete opposite now.

Even with my eyes closed, my eyes were dazzling, and my skin began to tingle as if it were burning.

“Heh, I just came in…”

I was already feeling a level of pain in my body that was too much for me to bear.

[Forgotten Temple]

[You have entered the forgotten temple that no one remembers.]

Unlike the window I had seen so far, the sound came from right next to me as if whispering.

“Five…”

The door for one person seemed a little different even though it was different.

There were things in the door that couldn’t be seen in other doors.

True to the name of the Forgotten Temple, there were buildings and structures that could only be seen in Roman times.

Of course, more than half was torn down.

“…why are you quiet?”

But it was strangely quiet.

There was a constant feeling that there were no living creatures at all.

And it was too wide.

Usually this type of door had a fairly limited internal scope, but this door seemed to have no such restriction.

[Come to the center of the temple.]

As if guiding the way, the voice continued to be heard.

“The center of the temple…”

I checked the huge building in front of Seonghyeon in the distance.

The roof had disappeared and the pillars had collapsed in half, but the building could be called a temple by anyone looking at it.

“Can I just go?”

Not feeling anything really made the anxiety worse.

If I had seen the beast as soon as I entered, I would have reacted, but I wasn’t too tired to walk without being able to relax as I am now.

I entered the road to the temple with tension maintained, and buildings that looked like private houses were lined up on the left and right.

“What is that?”

I approached something dark and checked it, and found a corpse with all its rotten skin on the floor of the building.

“…what is it?”

Just in case, I checked the other buildings and, like this one, was full of black-skinned corpses, whether they were burnt or rotten.

“…”

For some reason, there was a strange feeling of anxiety, but once a voice had been heard asking him to come to the temple, Seonghyeon headed back to the temple.

When we arrived at the front of the temple, there were stone statues that looked like gargoyles on either side of the entrance.

“Well then.”

Seonghyeon took out a knife from his bosom and prepared for the movement of the statue.

“…”

The confrontation continued for several minutes, but the statue did not show any movement.

[…Enter the temple.]

“…that, yes.”

I did not lower my vigilance just in case, and headed to the back of the statue, but again, there was no movement.

Upon entering the temple, there was an altar or something in the center, and a huge stone statue that looked like a sacred image of the god they worshiped stood behind it.

“Now…what are you doing?”

[Please protect the temple from the night.]

[1 minute remaining until night]

“What? One minute?”

The road to the temple was obviously broad daylight.

But it’s night

Sunghyun immediately turned around and checked outside.

“this…”

A torch was placed next to the two stone statues located at the entrance, and it was dark outside so that the front could not be seen without the torch.

[Night has come.]

[18 hours remaining until the end of the night]

“Wow, eighteen…hours…?”

How many hours of the day are nights?

Even in the middle of winter, would it be 18 hours?

“By the way… what do you mean to protect the temple from?”

As soon as Seong-hyeon finished talking to herself, a strange sound began to be heard from below.

“What, what?”

The sound of getting closer and closer, although it didn’t seem like the speed was fast, but I could tell that the number was huge even by looking at it.

“That’s…”

It got so close that it could be seen through the torchlight.

They had black skin and a human form, but there were holes where their eyes should have been, and there were, of course, no ears and noses, and invisible beings were climbing the stairs of the temple.

“Is it possible to survive rather than protect…?”

At a glance, tens, or even hundreds, was a number that was well over.

To the extent that the path that Seonghyeon has walked so far is covered with them instead.

Seonghyun immediately took a knife out of his arms and took a stance.

With the spirit of sacrifice, his physical abilities also increased, and there was also healing.

There were no restrictions on the use of abilities in this gate, so there would be no major problems in long-term warfare.

“…”

Seonghyun took a deep breath.

Meanwhile, alien beings arrived in front of Seonghyeon.

“It doesn’t look fast.”

Their physical abilities were not even on the axis of the lowest level hunters.

It wasn’t even at the level of an average adult male.

just a lot of numbers.

The strength of the body was similar to the appearance, and whether it was really rotten or burned, it was easily cut like a radish by swinging the sword a little.

“This is enough… it’s worth it.”

[16 hours remaining until the end of the night]

“…have you done 1/10th now…”

The enemies were neither fast nor strong, so there was no difficulty in blocking them.

[12 hours remaining until the end of the night]

The sky seemed a little brighter for some reason.

It seemed that after a while, I could at least see the brightened sky.

[9 hours remaining until the end of the night]

Brightening was an illusion.

Maybe this wasn’t the word that the sky was turning yellow.

“after…”

Seonghyeon healed the slightly scratched arm.

‘There is a limit.’

When I first used the treatment, even my stamina was restored.

However, there was a limit to the amount of stamina recovered as it was used more and more.

Fortunately, unless you’re very tired, these sheep didn’t get hurt.

‘How many times have you used the treatment? number 3? 4 times?’

When Seonghyeon’s stamina reached the bottom, he purposely made a small wound and treated it.

Then my stamina was restored, and my wounds were also healed at the same time.

“Now half…”

Enemies were still piled up all the way to the bottom of the temple.

[5 hours remaining until the end of the night]

Now the sky was really getting brighter.

It wasn’t the case when the sky was yellow, but it was really brightening.

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh…”

Sunghyun was breathing heavily.

Now, his stamina had reached the floor, and he was not able to avoid the attack properly, rather than intentionally making a wound.

He swung his sword continuously for 13 hours without eating or resting, and the sword he swung with both arms at first was now swinging one by one, and his legs were shaking and losing strength.

[1 hour remaining until the end of the night]

“finally…”

Now, the number of enemies has decreased enough to be counted by the eye.

If he had not had the ability to heal, he would have died immediately, far from surviving until now.

[40 minutes remaining until the night is over]

“OMG…”

Seonghyun put the knife he was holding to his side as if tossing it and sat down on the spot.

[Defeated all enemies before the night was over.]

Seonghyeon sat down and looked at the inside of the temple with only her head tilted back.

“uh?”

It seemed that the stone statue, which was strangely located in the middle, seemed to have moved, but as soon as it felt like Seong-hyeon’s gaze touched it, it stopped moving.

[I salute you for your bravery in defeating the wicked before the night is over.]

“…thank you.”

[Before the second night begins, place an evil thing on the altar.]

“What? Second night…?”

Seonghyeon, who was so excited, changed her posture and sat down.

It’s the second night.
