I Became the Only Healer in the Academy - Chapter 29.1
“What is this…?”
The chairman of the American Hunter Association asked his secretary again as he looked at the red liquid in the bottle.
“In your terms, it’s a potion.”
“A potion, huh?”
It was an item never seen in reality. Although abilities far from common sense were scattered across the world, this kind of ability had never existed.
“How do you use it?”
“You can just drink it.”
“Just drink it, and… it heals wounds?”
The chairman shook the contents of the bottle with an incredulous expression.
“Yes, that’s what they said.”
“There are no restrictions on things like quantity?”
“There hasn’t been a separate discussion on that. However, there was a suggestion to prioritize its use for those suffering from incurable diseases.”
“Well, that can’t be helped. Since I received this precious potion first, it’s only natural to fulfill such requests.”
The chairman stood up from his seat and addressed his secretary.
“Examine the ingredients in detail and see if we can dilute it for wider use.”
“Yes, understood.”
“No, I should go.”
“But your schedule for today…”
“Is that trivial schedule more important? This is about the future ahead.”
If there was a chance to analyze the ingredients of this potion, producing it wouldn’t be such a challenging task.
“If this is something created by just one hunter in South Korea, and that too, our country can’t replicate, then there’s nothing we can’t do.”
Despite not commenting much on the recent change in South Korea’s standing in the world of hunters, the United States had thrown its support first.
However, the ability of an individual named Kim Seonghyun was a dangerous one.
Certainly, in the world of hunters, it would be a miraculous ability that couldn’t be replaced. But unless it was an American hunter, there was no ability more better than this.
“I’ll visit the research lab and meet the patients, so gather them for immediate assessment.”
“Yes, understood.”
The secretary who received the order disappeared immediately, and the chairman headed to the research lab.
The chairman entrusted the research and waited for the results.
Since the analysis of the ingredients itself didn’t take long, the results came out about ten minutes later.
“Chairman, here are the analysis results.”
“Oh, really! How is it? Can we produce it? Dilution?”
Contrary to the hopeful expression on the chairman’s face, the director of the research lab didn’t look very pleased.
“Well, that… it’s filled with completely unknown substances.”
“What, what do you mean? Are you saying there’s not a single thing you could figure out?”
“That’s correct. Even dilution is in an unclear state.”
“Ugh, this is…”
Faced with results he hadn’t anticipated at all, the chairman sat back, furrowing his brow.
“To know nothing at all…”
If there had been even a slight understanding, they could have conducted research with their tremendous technological capabilities. But even that seemed impossible.
“Understood. Thank you for your work.”
The chairman reluctantly made his way to where the patients were.
“Which patient do you plan to give the potion to first?”
“Let’s start with the most severe case. Might as well minimize their suffering.”
“Yes, understood.”
The chairman sat where the inside could be seen from the outside, facing a mirror, and began to observe where the patients were.
“Let’s begin.”
As the chairman’s command was issued, the patient started to drink the potion.
Every last drop.
“How is it?”
“Ugh…”
The equipment connected to the patient’s body was already signaling a green light contrary to before.
Definite evidence that the patient’s body was improving.
“I can’t believe the speed. What on earth is that?”
“…Seems like there’s something like that. Let’s consider what we saw today as something never seen before.”
Not even a minute had passed since drinking the potion, and the equipment was now picking up signals matching those of an ordinary person.
“Wow, a complete recovery.”
“It’s not just an ease for the suffering of the patient, but a complete recovery…”
The chairman, with a contemplative expression, slammed the table with his finger and stood up, heading outside.
***
Seonghyun was preparing for the second representative battle that would take place that day.
“Alright, I believe in all of you.”
“…”
Hwang Ki-hyuk looked at his students with a brighter expression than ever before.
Seonghyun, who was the cause of Ki-hyuk’s salary cut short, looked at the homeroom teacher, who used to gaze at him with an unkind expression. However, ever since that day, there was even a sense of affection in the way Ki-hyuk looked at Seonghyun.
“Go and come back a winner!”
“…”
With the homeroom teacher’s words, it marked the beginning of the second battle, as if he had taught everything himself.
The rules were the same as before, and this time, all the matches were broadcasted for every class.
The scenery of the arena was no different from the previous match.
“If we play like this, it might not be in our favor again.”
In-hwan’s expression hardened as he surveyed the battlefield.
“Be careful of the one on the far left. Just yesterday… he reportedly unlocked a new ability.”
“What, what did you say? Why are you mentioning it now?!”
“I heard about it a bit earlier too. Stay focused. If you can’t handle it, the battle might end right here.”
This match was different from the previous one.
Since the strategy that had once found a weak point wouldn’t work again, Seonghyun was the captain for this match.
“I don’t know who he’s targeting on the far left, but Sang-yeon, stick with Seonghyun.”
“…Got it.”
While Seonghyun’s team was exchanging words, the opponent was already approaching right in front of them.
The early stages of the battle passed without much contact, to the point where it could be considered boring.
“The scouting phase is over. I’ll go in first.”
Eui-hyun, who had unlocked a new ability, stood confidently in front of Sang-yeon.
“Hey, you crazy bastard.”
“What, huh? Crazy bastard?”
“You get mad when you’re hit, doesn’t that make you crazy?”
