How much 147ddf0d73 time had c1f2b81f8c passed?b850f726c5dbafe3

When Hakyung 7cec3c0652 regained consciousness, ea389ef357 he found 2d56e99162 himself in 3aac62b2d9 the on-campus f3b1905de0 infirmary.

In the main sector, which resembled a hospital emergency room, Hakyung was the only one lying down. Perhaps that’s why they hadn’t drawn the curtains, leaving the empty beds lined up on either side and below him in plain view.621af0b42ff022d1

Healing espers are rare. It’s true there are only a few worldwide, but they’re especially rare in Korea. There’s even a rumor that because of the outbreak areas in Korea, no healing ability users are born here.b6bc3d3f07ba9cfd

However, there was one element worth hoping for: whether only injuries from fighting people didn’t heal, or if injuries from monsters were the same, needed to be tested.
