Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy

Soon, the healing of the deep wound on my thigh begins.

The spurting blood gradually subsides.

After defeating Shin Yuna in our duel, the manifestation of [Combat Healing] that I acquired appeared.

Even though I found it annoying when I saw it happen to others, it feels different when I’m the one using it.

As Park Jin-woo watched this absurd scene, his expression froze.

“What… what’s that again…?”

“This?”

<Rune Information>

◎ Name: Combat Healing

◎ Grade: Rare

◎ Level: 5

◎ Engraved Location: Right palm

◎ Special Effects:

: Enables the ability to heal targets during battle. Performance is lower compared to standard healing, but the casting time is significantly reduced for quick use.

: Recovery +4

◎ Derived Skill:

: [Emergency Treatment]

◎ Detailed Informations:

: Basic healing using recovery magic that can be used during battle.

It’s this kind of rune.

He probably can’t see it.

Although its performance is inferior to regular [Healing], its effect is enhanced by allowing quick healing of urgent injuries during battle…

The deep wound on my thigh healed rapidly to the point where it was hardly noticeable.

Furthermore, the effect of the derived skill [Emergency Treatment] is even better.

When the skill is used and healing is applied to an injury that occurred within the last 10 seconds… the healing effect doubles.

The cooldown is quite long at one hour, but if I only needed to heal this wound, the game would be over for me.

Before I knew it, the wound on my thigh had completely healed, and there was no hindrance to my movements, just like before.

The ultimate skill Park Jin-woo had used, which was even a mistake…

It was the moment when it was countered by the combination of [Hardening] and [Emergency Treatment].

With a grin, I said to him, “Can’t use your ultimate skill anymore? You’re done for. Come at me again.”

“……”

Life drained from Park Jin-woo’s face, which had previously shown apology and uncertainty.

He looks quite aggrieved.

But what can you do?

If you feel unfairly treated, then become a healer too…

“Darn it, I lost again.”

Park Jin-woo, lying flat in the training ground, said.

Next to him, I was also lying exhausted, sprawled out.

“Now it’s 31 wins and 11 losses.”

“Why do you feel stronger every time you fight? When it gets close, you should step back, you know.”

“Are you the one to talk? Who suddenly learns an ultimate skill and starts using it…”

“Oh… it’s painfully weak to see. Blocked by just one of your defense skills. It’s difficult to use due to lack of proficiency.”

It’s true.

Even though my [Hardening] and [Emergency Treatment] showed good efficiency, it’s hard to easily accept that an ultimate skill of a single Holder could be blocked like that.

Perhaps Park Jin-woo hadn’t learned [Moonlit Thrust] for long, and his lack of proficiency led to this situation.

It’s probably a similar case to when I acquired [Sky-Shattering Heavenly Sword] and [Water Sword Dance] with my limited ultimate skill usage.

“But seriously, are you even human?”

Park Jin-woo, lying next to me, asked.

It was a serious question without any hint of humor in his voice.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“No, really. A guy from the warrior-type…”

“Assassin-type.”

“Yeah. A guy from the assassin-type, using fire, water, and even healing. Does that make any sense?”

“Well, I’m a Multi-Holder.”

“That’s true.”

He’s a straightforward guy, indeed.

Park Jin-woo readily accepts the concept of being a Multi-Holder in one go.

With a wry smile, I added, “But don’t go telling everyone. You’re the only one who knows that I’m this diverse in being a Multi-Holder.”

“Is Kim Chae-eun not aware?”

“Why are you suddenly bringing up Kim Chae-eun?”

I asked at the sudden mention of a name.

Park Jin-woo, lying down, looked at me for a moment before saying, “Weren’t you dating Kim Chae-eun?”

“What?”

I was aware that rumors were circulating, but…

I never expected it to come out of Park Jin-woo’s mouth.

Perhaps he’s the source of the malicious rumors circulating around the academy.

“Never mind then.”

Seeing him bring the conversation to a perfect conclusion like this.

I shifted the topic with an incredulous laugh.

“Stop talking nonsense and just get promoted to C-grade.”

“Ugh… it’s bothersome.”

“Come on, really. Just do it. It’s not like you have anything to do during the vacation.”

“… I guess you’re right.”

Park Jin-woo scratched his embarrassed face.

Unlike me, who became an intern at <Judgement of Fire>, Park Jin-woo was a freeloader during the vacation.

Probably the reason he’s not promoting to C-grade is just because he finds it really troublesome.

“If you get promoted, I’ll immediately take you to a dungeon. Something on the level of the Academy’s underground dungeon. Deal?”

I got up from where I was lying down and made a proposition that he couldn’t resist.

Training, growth, dueling…

And conquering dungeons.

Among his favorite things, this is one of Park Jin-woo’s favorites.

It was an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Then, as I expected, he responded promptly.

“Deal.”

As I thought, he’s simple-minded.
