Chapter 224
224: Wow, This is a Healer? (2)
As the brilliant light of the Western radiance—strong as the sun at dawn—poured down upon me, I couldn’t help but swallow hard. It wasn’t merely light or energy; it felt like life force itself flowing into my very being.
My inherent regeneration awakened, and the light pushed out the Dreadnought’s residual energy that had penetrated my body, amplifying my healing even further.
‘Wow, is this what a Healer truly is?’
I hate to say it, but compared to Choe Phil, the Healer at the Training Facility, this wasn’t even a firefly before the sun—it was like comparing glitter in cosmetics to actual radiance. Choe Phil’s muscle-healing technique was precisely at that level.
The difference was that stark.
Honestly, one reason I hadn’t recruited a Healer was the scarcity of truly exceptional ones, and I’d questioned whether it was even necessary. But this changes everything.
Of course.
‘Where would I even find a Healer of Hezway’s caliber?’
That thought crossed my mind, but still—once I reach B-Grade, surely there’s at least one decent Healer among South Korea’s Hunters? That’s what I’d been thinking. Anyway, I’d shelve the Healer recruitment for now. My body felt restored, so I rose from my seat and tested my movements.
“Phew, I owe my life to Hezway.”
“Given your regenerative capacity, you would have recovered swiftly even without my intervention. I merely accelerated the process.”
“Still, I thought I was done for in that moment, so thank you.”
“Hmm, I’m relieved then.”
As Hezway and I exchanged words, Hanalin’s expression shifted subtly for a moment before she smoothed it away.
Regardless, none of that mattered right now.
“So, shall we settle the accounts?!”
At my exclamation, everyone present nodded in agreement. This was the most thrilling moment after a hunt.
Hezway, too, assented to my words.
“Let us gather all items first, then return to distribute them.”
Everyone agreed with Hezway’s proposal. The Dreadnought raid had concluded faster than ever, but because we’d concentrated intensely and given our all, mental fatigue was inevitable. Even I, whose mental stamina bordered on infinite, found myself quite exhausted, and I nodded in acknowledgment.
So we all boarded our respective ships and headed toward Baul.
* * *
The distance from Baul to the Central Zone wasn’t particularly far, but whether it was the flight or the exhaustion from battling the Dreadnought, I stretched languidly as I disembarked from the ship.
“Uuugh!!”
Crack, pop.
My joints crackled audibly, and as I stood there with tired eyes, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded knowingly—they understood.
Even Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who’d gained small insights and applied them in practice, were somewhat fatigued. How much more so for me?
Especially since the techniques I’d deployed drew upon the traits within my mental landscape, utilizing attribute conversion and the subtle principles I’d accumulated so far—my mental reserves were completely depleted. Fatigue wasn’t exclusive to my party, though.
Hezway, Ines, and Jerome all showed signs of weariness, but we gathered in Hezway’s Building.
Of course, Baeryujin couldn’t enter the Safe Zone and waited outside, but he’d even offered to forgo his share entirely, giving it to my party. Despite my exhaustion, I was so eager for the settlement that I’d nearly forgotten my fatigue.
Though the Dreadnought’s corpse vanished, making it difficult to obtain items, I’d seen them clearly enough as it fell.
‘Five items, right?’
The items that dropped from the Dreadnought numbered exactly five—the count I’d witnessed as it collapsed—making my anticipation all the greater.
My party, Hezway’s Party, the Celestial Party, the Fallen Leaf Party, and finally Baeryujin—five in total. Normally we’d distribute one item each, but since Baeryujin had forfeited his share to my party, we could claim two items.
As this eagerly awaited moment approached, I forgot my fatigue and smiled, while the four parties gathered around the round table murmured with palpable anticipation.
“Five items dropped?”
“That’s unusual.”
“Bosses summoned in the Central Zone typically yield three items. Five is genuinely abundant.”
“Oh, is that so?”
As Dohyun showed interest in the other party’s story, they all responded with goodwill toward him.
“Yes, usually it’s three types—elixirs, items, and manuals—and if we’re really lucky, one more drops from those categories, but we got quite a bit more than expected.”
When Ubben Baghdad, the Healer of the Fallen Leaf Party, spoke, Dohyun couldn’t help but smile, wondering if this too was the influence of 『Usurpation』. He couldn’t openly say it or come looking for it, but still, having more to distribute was definitely a good thing.
While Dohyun waited with hopeful eyes, Hezway soon returned with all the items in a translucent case and placed them on the round table.
Five items in total were laid out. Each one boasted an extraordinary luster, and as Hezway looked at them, he spoke.
“Fortunately, five items have appeared. Normally, I would allow selection in order based on merit points, but since Baeryujin, our Attack Team’s main tank, wishes to transfer his reward to Suhyun here, Suhyun’s party, which ranks first in merit points, will select the first two items. If anyone has objections, please speak up.”
No one expressed dissatisfaction or objection to Hezway’s words. Everyone present knew that I had earned the highest merit points in this gathering.
Once everyone accepted, Hezway spoke again.
The settlement would proceed, but there were still precautions to address.
“Since they haven’t been appraised yet, we’ll need an appraiser….”
As Hezway was speaking, Dohyun carefully raised his hand.
When Dohyun suddenly interrupted Hezway and raised his hand, everyone looked at him with confusion. They all watched him with some tension, wondering if he had some complaint or opinion. Hezway also nodded at Dohyun, indicating he could speak.
Then.
“I can handle the appraisal.”
“…?” “…?” “…?”
When everyone blinked in confusion at the suggestion that I could appraise items when it was already remarkable that I used both martial arts and magic, Hanalin and Jiyuchan added their agreement.
“Dohyun is expert-level at analysis and appraisal, so it would be fine to leave it to him.”
“Seriously impressive.”
Since all party members said so, it was probably true. Besides, the idea of Dohyun lying didn’t make sense in the first place. Though everyone blinked in disbelief at such an incredible claim, Hezway quickly nodded in understanding.
Then.
“I’ve already called an appraiser, so how about we appraise them together with your appraisal?”
“Oh, that sounds good?”
At Hezway’s suggestion, Dohyun smiled as if amused, and Hezway asked the other parties for their consent.
“Since I’ve already summoned an appraiser, how about we appraise them and if your appraisal is accurate, we deduct your appraisal fee?”
“Of course.”
“That’s certainly something we can do.”
“Actually, that sounds fun.”
“A wager… I’d actually like that.”
True to Jiyuchan’s last words, Dohyun grinned and seemed pleased.
Moreover.
‘I’ve never seen a professional appraiser at C-rank before.’
Compared to my 『Analysis』, appraisal would be difficult to even compare, but I was curious about how appraisal actually worked, and I thought I could see it this time.
Once everyone, including Dohyun, agreed, Hezway nodded as if understanding and spoke.
“Then I’ll go get the appraiser’s consent regarding the situation. Excuse me.”
After Hezway said that and left for a moment, there was some commotion from the adjacent room with various voices exchanging words, and soon a single stocky Dwarf entered the room where Dohyun and the others were.
At the sight of him looking quite displeased, Dohyun chuckled, and the Dwarf who had entered shouted in a hearty voice tinged with some anger.
“I am Buel, a Dwarf.”
* * *
An appraiser.
Regardless of their rank, the existence of appraisers capable of evaluating items was always considered essential. It was only natural. While master craftsmen knew the full effects of equipment they created, the items dropped by monsters remained a mystery.
This was why every Safe Zone maintained resident appraisers at all times.
Since item value mattered everywhere, the value of appraisers naturally rose accordingly.
Especially for appraisers in Safe Zones positioned close to the Central Zone like Safe Zone Baul. Since they could be called masters of items, they refused to appraise just anything, and they carried themselves with considerable pride.
The Dwarf Buel Tokantus was no exception.
He possessed clear pride in his work as an appraiser, and as a craftsman who prided himself on having made his living through that pride, he cried out upon seeing the Dragon-human Hezway speak nonsense before him.
“What!??”
As Buel glared irritably as if demanding he repeat himself, Hezway spoke again.
“It turns out we have someone on our side who can also appraise items, so it would be appreciated if we could evaluate them together and verify accuracy.”
“…You! You!! You!!!”
His beard trembled with indignation as his face flushed red as if about to burst. Hezway spoke while observing Buel’s reaction.
“I’ll be generous with the appraisal fee.”
“Do you think I care about points right now…!!!”
“I’ll double it.”
“Ahem.”
At Hezway’s words, Buel quickly calmed down, carefully stroking his beard that had been trembling moments before, and spoke quietly.
“Ahem, if it’s double… I understand.”
Double was an amount no amount of craftsman’s pride could refuse.
After hearing the remaining details, Buel nodded, and as he entered the Meeting Room with Hezway, he saw Dohyun laughing at him without even using transformation magic, and Buel thought to himself.
‘What a cocky bastard.’
Since this human dared to claim he could appraise items alongside him, Buel decided to see just how skilled he really was.
“What, what!?!?!?”
It didn’t take long before Buel jumped in place from shock, observing Dohyun with an expression of astonishment.
