This time, the ability of the open stigma had no side effects and no conditions.

Abilities open purely for combat.

“With this level of ability, it’s not even a top-level hunter, but it’s a high-level ability.”

If you look at the abilities of the hunters who have the same power as the current head of state, all of them were at a terrifying level.

It was at a level that could easily annihilate a nation’s army alone.

“By the way, this stigma ability is a single target, isn’t it?”

I wondered if I could apply the Shinto pendant, but it was probably impossible because the description itself was nailed as a healing ability.

“Then wait a minute…”

He took out his cell phone and checked the time.

It must have been a few days since I entered the door anyway, so it wouldn’t be a problem to be a few hours late here.

“uh? what.”

However, the time displayed on the cell phone was completely different from what Sunghyun expected.

It had only been an hour since I first entered the door and left.

“Time flows differently in a door for one person only.”

Seonghyeon tried to recall if there was another single-person door in her memory, but unfortunately, out of the memories just before returning, the memory of the single-person door did not exist anymore.

“Let’s go to the nearby door lightly for now.”

He wanted to enter a door with a higher grade if he felt like it, but he needed permission from the association, so Seonghyeon headed to the open door he had always been through.

I had to clear the daily quest anyway, so I had to go to the door.

Upon entering the door today, quite a few hunters were hunting the beasts.

[Sage exclusive daily quest 3 hours remaining]

“Three hours is still plenty of time.”

Seonghyeon slowly and slowly headed to a deeper place.

The beasts near the gate may have already dried out, so the weak beasts could not be seen well, and the beasts you could see were already fighting with other hunters.

“A little deeper…”

Seonghyeon continued to go into the depths.

After walking for so long, I arrived at a place I was quite familiar with.

“This is definitely…”

It was the place where Han Wook had fallen the other day.

That being said, there are wolf-type beasts around here.

“If it was before, I would have run away…”

not now

Rather, he was full of confidence.

Even a little too much was enough to turn him into conceit, but Seonghyeon was never conceited because he had already seen a wolf-type beast.

“Cre…”

The cry of a wolf-type beast was heard in front of me.

‘…let’s go.’

Seonghyeon hid her body and spirit in the bushes.

I didn’t know yet whether this ability was a single target, a range, or how long it would take to cast, so it could be a bit difficult if there were too many.

When I got to the place where I heard the sound, there was a magical beast in front of me.

“Are you alone?”

No matter how much I looked around, there were no sounds or signs of other beasts, and Seonghyeon appeared from the bushes.

“Creek!”

As if the magician had read Seonghyeon’s signs, he immediately lowered his posture and wary of Seonghyeon.

‘Wait, are you on guard?’

The wolf-type beasts were on the side with exceptional sense.

So, the ability to distinguish whether the target in front of me was a prey or a predator was excellent, but now it is showing a boundary that was not visible before.

“Stay there.”

When Seong-hyeon didn’t move, the magician was only alert and didn’t move, and Seong-hyun took out his cell phone and checked the time, then used the stigma.

‘stigma’

As soon as he used the stigmata, the beast, who had been on alert until now, fell to the floor and began to whine.

“…”

Seonghyeon approached the vicinity of the monster while maintaining his vigilance.

So, when he arrived in front of the beast, he was rolling on the floor with a more painful look than before.

“Are you going to die? So how long will it take?”

Seonghyeon sat on a nearby flat stone and looked at the beast.

Do they really die from pain, and if so, how long will it take?

“Hmm…”

Seonghyun took out his cell phone and checked the time.

It took 10 minutes for the beast to die.

“Is it supposed to be a combat assistant ability?”

It was quite difficult to kill with just the stigma, but it was safe to say that it was a curse-related ability because I couldn’t control my body properly due to the pain.

“I am satisfied with just this.”

Seonghyeon turned around without taking out the magical beast crystal.

“Today’s quest is…”

As the number of hunters who entered the door was large, there would be enough injured hunters.

As I was walking around the door, I heard a voice from nearby.

“it’s okay?”

“Yeah, what is this?”

When I checked where the voice was heard, I saw a Hunter sitting on the floor holding his ankles.

‘That person will be fine.’

Seonghyeon immediately appeared in front of the two of them.

“Who are you?”

“who…”

The two were wary of Seong-hyeon’s sudden appearance.

Hunters often targeted hunters inside the gate, so if an unknown hunter suddenly appeared when they were injured, they had no choice but to be on the lookout.

“…”

“Who are you?”

“Hey, calm down. Who are you?”

Rather, the injured person calmly asked.

He seemed to know very well that there was nothing good to provoke an opponent at the time of his injury.

“…”

Seonghyeon didn’t answer and looked at the wounded Hunter for a while and then left.

[The sacrificial spirit increases the physical ability.]

[You have completed the Daily Quest for the Sage.]

[The proficiency of the healing ability has increased.]

“uh…?”

“why? Did the pain get worse?”

“Ah, no, I am suddenly not sick…?”

The two hunters looked at the stranger that had just appeared, but the hunter had already left.

“no way…”

“Eh, ah… no. Why would such a person…”

However, the pain that was not felt at all continued to change her hopelessness into certainty.

“Let’s go home. now.”

Having finished all the daily quests, Seonghyeon went home without any regrets.

Today was the day of the academy exam.

“I wish you all good grades.”

At the end of the short greeting from the homeroom teacher, there was the first test, physical ability evaluation and situational judgment ability.

As it was a test that produced representatives of the class, the test itself was not an easy one.

All of the academy students taking the exam headed towards the open door.

As much as looking at the physical ability and situation judgment ability, there was no better way than to check directly against the demonic beast.

Of course, he had to deal only with his physical abilities, excluding his abilities.

“As we all know, you shouldn’t use your abilities. Please note that as soon as you discover that you are using an ability, you will receive the lowest score.”

The order of departure was decided based on the grades of the first semester of those who will take the test first along with the examiner’s notes.

Ten students entered at a time, and the supervisor had already entered the door and coordinated the situation, so there was no such thing as being unable to meet the beast.

“Each given time is 15 minutes. If you don’t do it in there, you’ll get the lowest score as well.”

On the day of the academy exam, the opening of the door was limited to other hunters, so there was no shortage of 10 people entering at once.

“The perfect score is 5 crystals, and each grade is deducted by one.”

Seong-hyeon’s order was almost the last.

‘I brought a few in the first semester.’

At that time, the number of crystals that Seong-hyeon brought was four.

Considering that there were only one or two students in each grade who got perfect scores, Seong-hyeon’s score, which was just below that, was also quite high, and was at the top of the class.

“The next students will enter.”

The 15 minutes passed quickly, and soon it was Seonghyeon’s turn to enter.

“I wish you good luck.”

“Ah yes. thank you.”

Ha-yeon, who had already finished the exam, greeted Seong-hyeon lightly, and Seong-hyun bowed her head slightly and entered the door.

‘Everyone was nervous.’

Seonghyun got good grades in the 1st round, so she wasn’t too nervous, but those who entered with Sunghyun didn’t get good grades in the 1st round. Because they were highly dependent on their abilities, their expressions were not good.

‘If it’s five, it’s easy.’

It was Seong-hyeon, who had already experienced the limits of her body to the limit at the one-person door.

The beasts that appeared from the open door were not much different from the enemies of the first night they met at the temple.

“There it is.”

At the same time, five goblins came into Seonghyeon’s sight.

In the past, they would have been relatively difficult opponents, but now they are not even on the tricky side.

Seonghyeon immediately took out his sword and appeared in front of the goblins.

“Keeek!”

The goblins who discovered Seonghyeon also began to take a fighting stance.

“what?”

Sunghyun looked down at his hands.

In the blurry vision behind the sword, the corpses of five goblins were already lying around.

“Am I this strong?”

Before facing the goblin, Seonghyeon was very firmly mistaken.

The goblins were no different from the enemies of the first night.

Rather, the enemies of the first night were much stronger.

The sword he swung lightly cut through the limbs of the goblins as if they were cutting tofu.

It only took about 3 minutes to deal with the goblin horde.

“Shall we go back in a little while?”

Seonghyeon, who had all the goblin crystals removed, pondered for a moment.

Anyway, the current scene must have been all witnessed by the supervisor.

“You don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

I didn’t really want to stand out until now, but now it’s a different story.

In order to become the class representative, and furthermore, the representative of the grade level and the representative of the national competition, I had to take a different step.

In order to receive full support from the famous giant guilds and associations, they could not simply cling to the scarcity value of their abilities.

That rare ability was just a helper, and apart from that, other abilities had to be different from others.

“Let’s go back.”

Seonghyeon gathered 5 crystals in exactly 3 minutes and came out of the door.

“Well? Kim Seong-hyun, student?”

“yes.”

“Have you given up on the exam? Why didn’t the supervisor show up?”

The examiner was a little puzzled by the situation different from the usual process of giving up on the exam.

To give up the exam, you had to tell the supervisor inside the door of your intention to give up, and you were supposed to immediately leave the exam and come out with the supervisor at the same time.

“no. I did not give up.”

“okay? So would you like some crystals?”

The examiner expected that at best he would have brought about two crystals.

Those who entered now were those with the lowest grades as of the first semester, and besides, Seong-hyeon in front of him was a student with only healing ability.

“Here you go.”

Seonghyeon took out 5 crystals from her pocket and handed it to the examiner.

“Five…dogs? In three minutes…?”

The examiner confirmed the record so far.

It was the shortest record since 3 years ago, bringing 5 crystals in 1 minute 18 seconds.

But the student at that time was a student whose ability was what he didn’t have.

An extreme ability where everything is concentrated on physical abilities.

Of course, the difference in time was more than double, but considering Seong-hyeon’s ability, it was a huge record.

“Student Seong-Hyun Kim is … perfect.”

Those who were not very interested in how many Seong-hyeon received looked at Seong-hyeon and the clock alternately when they heard that the test tube had a perfect score.

“A perfect score in three or three minutes?”

“Isn’t it Kim Seong-hyun’s healer…?”

“…Yeah, well, what if a great healer gets a low score?”

Most of the reactions were surprising, but there were also quite a few reactions that Seong-hyun didn’t get the perfect score in a fair way.

“Ah… he is the one who raised the national status ranking, so of course he should get a perfect score.”

“I know yeah. Maybe the second test will also come out with a perfect score and I will even compete as a class representative.”

Even after saving their lives, Sung-hyun ignored the split reaction with a smirk.
