Chapter 6
Chapter 6: A Rival? (2)
There’s no rule that a Healer must be conventionally sacred, but even so, wasn’t this pushing it a bit far?
Every time he spoke, his muscles rippled with an otherworldly intensity that seemed to transcend humanity itself. Yet for someone with such an appearance to be a Healer—none of the trainees could believe it.
Even Jiyuchan, who remained composed at every moment, stood slack-jawed in astonishment.
If even I, who could view Choe Phil’s status window through Analysis, found it unbelievable, the others’ reactions were only natural.
In any case, after successfully analyzing Choe Phil, text materialized before my eyes once more.
It was a message I had already anticipated.
[You have successfully analyzed the skills of ‘Choe Phil’.]
[This target exceeds the standard threshold.]
[You can acquire the target’s skills by consuming ‘AP’.]
[You may select and acquire from the list below.]
[List]
▶「Muscular Restoration[C]」: 300AP
▶「Martial Arts Mastery[C]」: 300AP
▶「Overwhelming Presence[D]」: 200AP
▶「Vitality[D]」: 150AP
▶「Haste[E]」: 100AP
…
(continued below)
There were quite a few skills in total, but excluding the basic ones, there were only five worth considering.
However, I focused more on the message itself than the skills.
‘This target exceeds the standard threshold?’
When I first analyzed Jeongminwoo, it simply said the ‘skill’ was below the standard threshold, and I could acquire it freely.
When I analyzed Jiyuchan and obtained the Sword King’s Intuition, it said that ‘skill’ exceeded the standard threshold.
But now, analyzing Choe Phil, the message had changed—it said this ‘target’ exceeded the standard threshold.
In other words, because Choe Phil was strong, I could acquire his skills by paying AP. Based on that logic, I could infer something.
‘E-Grade or D-Grade skills might be acquirable from other targets without consuming AP.’
To be safe, it was right to exclude E-Grade and D-Grade skills.
The basic skills went without saying—I excluded those too.
If I excluded all of those, only C-Grade remained. Even then, there were only two C-Grade skills, but my choice was clear.
『Muscular Restoration[C]』
▶Consumes mana to restore muscle tissue.
▶Particularly effective for developing physical ability stats.
Analyzing the effect made it clearer.
‘I can acquire martial arts skills anytime.’
But when else would I ever get a chance to acquire a healing skill like this?
I had to spend the 150AP I gained from analyzing Choe Phil combined with my existing 150AP, but it felt far from wasteful.
Though I certainly didn’t want to become a muscle monster like him—if I used it moderately, it should be fine, right?
With that thought, I made my selection immediately.
[You have acquired the skill “Muscle Heal [C]”.]
[This skill exceeds your current stats.]
[Your stats will rise slightly beyond their original level.]
[Your mana permanently increases by +4 due to acquiring this skill.]
[You cannot activate this skill at its full power.]
As my mana surged once more, I found myself immersed in a peculiar sensation.
A warmth that embraced everything and a sense of fulfillment washed over me simultaneously, yet I couldn’t afford to dwell on it.
“It’s 6 AM! From now until 8 AM breakfast, run the Training Ground to your absolute limit! Begin!”
At Choe Phil’s sudden command, everyone could have frozen in shock, but faced with his menacing expression and thunderous voice, they all instinctively began running the Outdoor Training Ground without hesitation.
I ran alongside the other trainees just as they did.
Perhaps it was because my stats had increased?
At the start, I had no trouble keeping pace with the leading group and running smoothly.
The leading group consisted of Jiyuchan and Jeongminwoo, whose physical abilities were exceptional, and myself.
How long had we been running?
When Jeongminwoo began to feel the limits of his stamina and gradually fell back from the front, I, whose stats were similar to his, nearly fell back as well.
At this point, I thought Choe Phil would use his healing magic, but he didn’t. Still, I had my own way.
‘I have it too!’
Since Choe Phil wasn’t providing support, I activated my skill on my own.
As a small amount of mana drained away, a mysterious strength filled my entire body, and a message appeared.
[Your exhausted muscles are being healed.]
And then—
‘Huh? This is easier than I expected.’
I hadn’t expected the effect to manifest instantly, but the fatigue was unmistakably fading.
Feeling this, I used my newly acquired skill whenever I began to tire.
How much time had passed?
[Your body grows stronger.]
[Your stamina permanently increases by +1.]
‘Oh.’
I had simply run and used the skill, yet the results appeared immediately.
With a sensation reminiscent of a game, I smiled slightly and ran harder, and soon after, another welcome message appeared.
[Your body grows stronger.]
[Your strength permanently increases by +1.]
Excited by my rising stats, I pushed myself to run even faster.
For Jiyuchan, who was quite confident in his running ability, this was frankly unbelievable.
The Hunter Association had said there were few trainees with superior physical abilities compared to him, yet this made no sense.
‘Am I falling behind?’
Even though we were both in the lead, Choe Phil was now focusing his gaze solely on me, as if evaluating me more highly than himself.
The atmosphere clearly suggested I was pulling ahead.
Wounded by this, Jiyuchan unconsciously pushed himself harder, running with fierce determination.
As Jiyuchan ran with such intensity, I could finally see him clearly—running beside me with blazing eyes, teeth clenched, pushing forward with all his might.
‘What? Why is she glaring at me like that?’
Did it matter?
I thought nothing of it and continued running effortlessly, my strides growing lighter as I began to pull further ahead.
‘This… this can’t be happening.’
Despite running at a pace that shook even his composure, Dohyun was surging past him with far greater ease. At this rate, I’m really going to fall behind.
Jiyuchan pushed harder in response, but his exhausted body had nothing left to give. Having overextended himself, he lost his rhythm entirely and found himself chasing after Dohyun instead.
‘Did I… just lose?’
As Jiyuchan sank into the depths of defeat,
I, meanwhile, ran on with a smirk, thinking to myself.
‘I never imagined running could be this fun.’
It felt like a game—genuinely exhilarating.
With that thought, I pushed harder, and another message materialized.
[Your body grows stronger.]
[Stamina permanently increases by +1.]
I laughed, almost addicted to the sensation of growth, and continued running.
* * *
Thus began the hellish ordeal of endless running.
How much time had passed?
Gradually, everyone was beginning to falter.
Especially the female trainees were the first to tire.
The male trainees held on somewhat longer, but it was hardly easier for them.
Worn down by modern life, sudden exertion was never going to be simple.
“Huff, huff. Ah, what kind of… torture is this from morning? Huff, huff.”
“If you talk, you’ll lose more strength, Dongwook.”
“Huff, huff.”
“Haah, haah.”
Amid the universal exhaustion, two figures continued to lap the others.
None other than Jiyuchan and Dohyun.
“How are those two not getting tired?”
“How many laps have they done now?”
“Even Minwoo’s younger sibling tried to keep up but failed, right?”
“It’s incredible…”
“Dohyun doesn’t even look that strong, but he’s… amazing.”
As the trainees chattered among themselves, Choe Phil barked out.
“No talking!”
He shouted with sharp eyes fixed on the trainees, then regarded Jiyuchan and Dohyun—who maintained their lead—with a peculiar gaze.
Jiyuchan’s physical abilities were known from the paperwork, but Dohyun’s current performance exceeded all expectations. Given his documented physical stats were far inferior to Jiyuchan’s, there was nothing to anticipate—yet here he was.
‘He exceeded my expectations.’
An hour had already passed, and the fact that he showed no signs of fatigue while maintaining the lead was remarkable enough. Choe Phil narrowed his eyes, studying Dohyun intently.
And he could sense a difference from before.
The distance between me and Jiyuchan was gradually widening.
I wasn’t maintaining my pace as I ran—far from it.
My speed was steadily increasing. Jiyuchan was desperately trying to keep up, which created the illusion that our paces were identical, but Choe Phil’s keen eyes couldn’t be deceived.
And witnessing this, Choe Phil couldn’t help but admire it.
‘Impressive.’
As Jiyuchan gradually fell behind me and lost his lead position, I continued running with a smile, completely unbothered.
Choe Phil watched this and muttered to himself in disbelief.
‘He’s truly born to be a Hunter.’
Running without losing his smile even during training.
His physical prowess was remarkable, but his mental fortitude deserved even greater praise.
The other trainees were already exhausted to the point of collapse, shuffling along rather than running, yet he maintained his speed without slowing down—in fact, he was accelerating further.
This was certainly worthy of high regard.
As Choe Phil was thinking this, several trainees also began to react with surprise.
“Wait, no way, Yuchan fell behind? That’s… that can’t be right.”
“Yuchan… what?”
“No, seriously.”
“What’s happening here…”
The trainees who had entered with Jiyuchan were shocked at the fact that he had fallen behind, while those who had entered with me murmured as if it were only natural.
“See, I told you something was off about him?”
“Dohyun is the best!”
“Dohyun really is amazing, isn’t he?”
“Huff, huff. I can’t keep up with Dohyun at all.”
The slightly divided reactions had the two groups eyeing each other with subtle wariness.
As if questioning what the other side was talking about.
Among those who had entered with Jiyuchan, Dongwook Park reacted most strongly.
“What are you talking about? Yuchan is way better. Dohyun must just be specialized in marathons. In other areas, Yuchan would totally dominate, right?”
“Y-yeah, that’s right.”
“We’ll have to see.”
“Wouldn’t Yuchan still be better overall? His mana level is higher, isn’t it?”
“Exactly.”
“It’s just one running exercise…”
“Still, Dohyun won in terms of stamina.”
“Ugh, whatever.”
As this peculiar atmosphere settled in, Choe Phil observed with interest.
What was currently only a mild psychological contest would undoubtedly escalate into a larger competitive dynamic. He could have considered stopping it, but instead, Choe Phil did the opposite—he shouted loudly.
“Trainee Dohyun! You’re doing great! Keep it up!”
With Choe Phil’s words as the instructor, the expressions of the other trainees shifted distinctly.
Those who had entered with me broke into wide smiles, while those who had entered with Jiyuchan frowned deeply.
Seeing this, Choe Phil believed that such competitive dynamics were necessary for greater growth, and he actively encouraged it.
Throughout the remaining time, Choe Phil subtly fueled the rivalry between them, and when the dawn training session ended, while everyone was equally exhausted, the way they looked at each other now carried a competitive edge that hadn’t been there the day before.
They didn’t harbor genuine malice, but their gazes were decidedly sharp.
Though my body was exhausted, seeing their eyes gleaming with fervor, Choe Phil laughed cheerfully and spoke.
“Hehehehe! Everyone! You all worked hard during the dawn training. I’ll heal you, so enjoy a delicious breakfast! Breakfast is from 08:00 to 09:00, and from 09:00 onwards, arrive promptly at Training Facility Building 201 Lecture Hall. Dismissed!”
As Choe Phil spoke, he cast a muscle recovery spell on all of them.
At that moment, he noticed something peculiar and tilted his head.
It was none other than Dohyun.
‘Hmm, it doesn’t feel like it’s being healed properly?’
Though he had cast the healing spell, the sensation of it taking hold was faint, which sparked confusion, but he dismissed it as unimportant and moved on.
Once Choe Phil gave permission to head to the Dining Hall, the trainees made their way there with their somewhat-healed bodies.
Without much thought, Dohyun lined up, and after receiving his food on the tray, he turned his head to find several people raising their hands and calling out to him.
“Dohyun oppa, come over here~.”
“Over here, hyung.”
“This way!”
Responding to their calls without hesitation, he sat where they beckoned, but soon he tilted his head at the strange atmosphere.
‘Huh?’
The five who had arrived first yesterday, including himself, and the five who had joined later, including Jiyuchan, had deliberately seated themselves at separate tables.
Observing the subtle tension, Dohyun chuckled softly and muttered to himself.
‘Why are they acting like this? It’s not even a team competition.’
Thinking nothing of it, Dohyun finished his meal and headed to the lecture hall, where he heard an unexpected announcement.
“Since we have many participants, we will divide you into groups.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Dohyun turned his head and saw Jiyuchan’s eyes blazing with intensity once more as he stared at him.
