I Became the Academy's Disabled Student

"Supplementary Minor in 'Field Healing' Class Time."

Elia and the others gathered together during the remaining spare time, sitting in the fields and chatting.

"Ah... incision surgery is so difficult. Especially doing it immediately in the field is just crazy..."

"Exactly. If there’s no assistant, you have to do it all by yourself—cut, operate, and continuously purify the magic... You'd need ten arms, but still..."

"Field operations are always lacking in facilities and assistance, so they only teach basic emergency treatments."

"And that emergency treatment is so hard... especially purifying the magic that’s soaked into the wound—ugh, it's the worst..."

A few students voiced their frustrations.

Even though this was a supplementary minor, not all of them had developed their own healing abilities.

Because of this, various primitive forms of emergency treatment using tools and equipment were also included in the curriculum.

"Is it easier if you have healing abilities? How about you, Elia? Does it feel easier for you?"

"Yeah, it’s much more convenient than just doing it by hand."

Elia smiled softly, agreeing with her friend’s complaint.

"Healing, you can do it with your abilities, and blocking infections and purifying magic are included as well, so it’s much easier. Especially since I can combine healing and regeneration, it makes it even easier."

"Wow... That’s all automatic? I guess that's why they’re looking for healing abilities in your clan."

"But Elia, even if you do it by hand, we still get it done faster."

"Well, that’s true."

Elia Slaid.

She had been highly anticipated as a promising future healer when she first enrolled.

There were many promising students at this academy, but it was clear she had the potential to become a great hero someday.

Through her 'Healing Amplification,' she minimized the burden on patients with continuous healing.

With 'Instant Regeneration,' she could quickly and effectively heal during emergencies.

Her unique ability, "Healing Rhythm," which allowed her to freely combine healing and regeneration without interruption, showed enormous potential.

That judgment had been accurate.

Now, over a year into her studies, her healing ability had surpassed the point of simply being helpful and was now at a level where it could be used in real combat.

Moreover, her personal skill had grown remarkably, and even without relying on her healing abilities, she was becoming an outstanding auxiliary-type superhuman.

Even if she were to undergo a healing proficiency test by the association now, she would easily surpass the high-grade level.

"Ugh..."

One of the female students, who had been venting for a while, collapsed onto the ground.

"So peaceful... Sonia, do you have any interesting stories?"

"Interesting stories? Hmm... How about a fight between the battle major students?"

"They’re always fighting there."

"How about the Birth Ceremony story? They say they’re having both a cross-dressing contest for men and women."

"Are you entering that?"

"Don’t be ridiculous."

"Why are you swearing... Anyway, it’s so peaceful... well, that’s a good thing, but it’s also a bit boring..."

After Ha-Yul left for external studies, about a month had passed and the academy continued to operate normally.

Students attended lectures and focused on their individual training.

During that time, there were minor incidents and stories circulating in several communities.

But they were just small talk that didn't amount to anything significant.

In short, the daily life in the academy continued peacefully, without any major incidents.

"It’s hard for something big to happen at this academy. What kind of incident could happen here?"

The biggest stir this year involved...

A special admission student, who turned out to be a blind mute.

There were rumors of strange interactions between the special admission student and the successor of the Fierce Flame family.

About a month ago, a special admission student, previously an ordinary person, had started causing a stir by defeating well-trained students.

There were also rumors of the special admission student solving a dungeon crisis while on the brink of death.

And even creating strange tensions during a tournament with the heir to the Sea Clan.

Other rumors involved the special admission student having the Fierce Flame bloodline, which the family was openly supporting.

In China, the twin dragons of the North and South revived and caused a necromancy incident, but the special admission student resolved it, again narrowly escaping death.

Later, after returning, the special admission student became younger, only to be kidnapped by a unicorn.

Also, there were rumors that the special admission student was traveling with the heirs of the Fierce Flame, Sea Clan, and the Great Mountain Clan, and causing a stir.

Not to mention, rumors spread about the special admission student being seen with two beautiful professors, giving off a certain vibe.

...There were more than I thought, but most of them involved just one student.

"Elia... you’re looking at the sky again. Is there a piece of bread stuck up there or something?"

At that moment, there was a student deeply connected to the special admission student.

Suddenly drawing the attention of everyone, Elia blinked and tilted her head.

"Huh? What’s wrong?"

"Huh, you’ve been looking at the sky so much lately, I thought maybe you were worried about something..."

"Oh, no, it’s nothing like that."

Elia smiled gently and shook her head.

...However, to those with keen observation, there was a hint of loneliness in her expression.

A few students, who had picked up on this, suddenly remembered the rumors that had been circulating since about a month ago.

The mansion that had once been used by the previous headmaster.

Now abandoned and left to decay after several decades, leading to speculation that the headmaster might have secluded himself there.

But those speculations were essentially wrong.

About a month ago, a group had started living there.

If you had to name them, it was the special admission student Ha-Yul and a woman who gave off a strange vibe with him...

Among those who gave off the strange vibe was Elia, and now, since Ha-Yul had left for external studies, Elia seemed to be emitting a lonely aura.

"...."

"...."

From these series of events, a few students had strange thoughts in their minds, but they didn’t dare speak those rumors out loud.

If it were just about Elia, they might have asked for fun, but the other individuals involved had unusual backgrounds.

Moreover, Elia's social status had rapidly risen since she had become so closely tied to those figures.

Not to mention, the reason why the flirty attention directed at Elia had suddenly stopped was also clear.

Her gentle and kind nature.

Her beautiful looks and seductive body, which stood out even among the superhumans in the academy, who were all attractive.

And her potential as a superhuman.

Elia was the perfect ideal bride candidate, but since she had become associated with someone, the advances had abruptly stopped.

For Elia, it was a good thing, as all the annoying attention had disappeared.

But those who didn’t know this just kept their mouths shut.

Mouths are always a harbinger of disaster.

Especially in this line of work, speaking carelessly could easily cost someone their life.

In the end, those who survived by talking recklessly in the past... were extremely rare.

They either had the ability to survive or just happened to have good luck.

‘Sigh... I miss Ha-Yul.’

Amid all this, Elia let out a deep sigh in silence.

The feelings that the others had felt for Elia were not a misunderstanding.

She was truly feeling quite lonely these days.

In particular, the sense of emptiness, not having something to hold, was especially strong.

She felt that her daily life had become dull and unsatisfactory because nothing was there to fill the void.

When she held Seohyun and cared for her, it would at least calm her down, but the root problem was never solved.

Everyone living in that mansion felt the same way.

Hong Yeonhwa had also been feeling down lately, and Baek Arin had been in poor health and missed classes for a few days.

Athara had lost nearly all her work after Ha-Yul disappeared. Riana had also been seen wandering around looking drained.

Even Lee Ji-yeon, who had sneakily settled into a room, seemed uneasy.

Though she normally stayed at the dorm, she had come to meet Hong Yeonhwa and Baek Arin, and when she did, she would subtly look around as if searching for someone.

‘Sigh...’

Another sigh escaped her lips, and she tilted her head back to gaze at the sky once more.

She used to look at the sky too, but recently, it had been happening more and more.

She didn’t know why exactly, but for some reason, her gaze kept drifting upward.

The azure sky, with clouds lazily floating across it like a painter’s brush strokes.

Looking at that combination of colors, it almost felt like looking at Ha-Yul...

But even without that, her eyes were naturally drawn there.

It was as if Ha-Yul was up there in the sky...

"Huh?"

Elia blinked, and suddenly, the colors in the center of her view shifted.

It was sky blue and white, just like the sky and clouds.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh... what’s that...?"

"That?"

In response to her question, the student sitting next to her tilted their head in curiosity and, sensing something, also looked up at the sky.

"...Huh?"

"Huh?"

After a brief moment, Elia and the other student shared a similar puzzled expression.

At first, it seemed like a tiny dot.

The colors were similar to the sky and clouds, so it was easy to miss.

But the dot was growing.

It wasn’t just a dot anymore.

The small dot quickly expanded, spreading into six branches, like wings fluttering.

And then, it rapidly grew larger... no, it was descending toward them.

"Oh no, shit?"

A student, who had been squinting while looking up, gasped in shock and grabbed the emergency weapon strapped to their waist.

Other students, who had been slow to identify the situation, quickly began to prepare for battle.

They grabbed their weapons, forming lines and preparing spells in the rear.

The previously relaxed atmosphere had suddenly turned tense.

This was not an overreaction... it was a normal response to the situation.

Wings... it’s rare for humans to have them.

Which meant it was very likely a monster.

Even if it were a person, the sudden appearance of wings and a fall toward them didn’t bode well.

Carelessly dismissing the situation could easily lead to death.

Even in a relatively peaceful environment like the academy, the ingrained vigilance was not easily shaken.

"Elia! What are you doing? Get ready quickly!"

Sonia, who had been chatting until just moments ago, shouted at Elia.

Everyone hurriedly formed their positions, but Elia remained frozen, staring blankly at the sky.

"Why is she acting like this all of a sudden?! We need to prepare first..."

"I don’t think that’s necessary."

"What?"

Another puzzled response.

Sonia frowned and looked up at the sky, following Elia’s finger.

It was then that Sonia noticed the change in the atmosphere.

The once tense energy in the air had softened into something strangely dazed...?

‘What’s going on?’

The situation had rapidly changed again.

Sonia furrowed her brow as she looked up at the sky, trying to make sense of it.

And then, she recognized that the flying object in the sky was not a monster.

It was a person.

A person with three pairs of wings was descending toward them.

It was as if it was falling straight down like a missile, but as it got closer to the ground, the wings fluttered gently.

Suddenly, someone gasped in admiration, unable to look away.

The fluttering wings, like a white swan dancing, were breathtakingly beautiful.

The wings fluttered once more.

The soft grass gently lowered the body of the person descending, and as the person’s body was upside down, it gracefully flipped over.

Finally, the feet touched the ground.

One leg gently touched down, followed by the other leg.
