The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 114
Seondonguk turned his gaze away from Yui and looked at Eunhae.
Lowering his voice, Seondonguk protested to her.
“We don’t know what kind of trouble he might cause, so why did you bring him?”
Eunhae pushed her sunglasses up on her head and replied with an attitude as if it was no big deal.
“He’s got enough sense to know better, so it’s fine.”
“Lim Yooil doesn’t know the word teamwork. He might actually be a hindrance.”
Even at Jinseong’s cold criticism, Eunhae didn’t back down.
She looked straight at Jinseong and spoke with emotionless eyes.
“Whether it’s a criminal’s hand or a cat’s paw, isn’t this the time when we need every bit of help we can get? And if he causes trouble, I’ll personally cut off that bastard’s arm this time, so don’t worry.”
The two men had no choice but to keep their mouths shut at Eunhae’s firm attitude.
She told Yui to follow her and walked toward the Training Ground.
Lim Yooil slowly followed Eunhae, waving his hand at Jinseong and Seondonguk.
Mouthing ‘Long time no see’ with a smirk.
As Jinseong watched Lim Yooil’s retreating figure and let out a long sigh, Seondonguk placed his hand on his shoulder with a bitter smile.
“Ohyeongtaek, Feng Hao, and now even Lim Yooil… What’s the difference between this and living with a time bomb?”
* * *
‘Who is that?’
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the man entering with Seo Eunhae.
He had his bangs swept back coolly with a headband, and even from a distance, his features were distinct with a masculine impression.
His jawline was thick and his eyes looked fierce, but he had a strangely refreshingly handsome face.
He walked with a swaggering gait, following behind the director.
Behind the director, Senior Jinseong and Oppa Seondonguk were following with stiff expressions.
The director approached me and pointed to that man, asking.
“Yebichnna, you remember Hunter Lim Yooil, right?”
“…Ah.”
It was an unfamiliar face, but news articles that had remained vaguely in my memory came to mind one by one.
A hunter who was treated as a troublemaker in any team due to his recklessly stubborn behavior.
Then he suddenly retired due to paralysis of his limbs from mana circuit overload.
“Yes, I remember.”
That man strode over, bent his waist, and thrust his face right in front of mine.
“26 years old?”
That was his first words, skipping both greetings and introductions.
When I nodded in bewilderment, he said.
“You’re young. Mind if I speak casually?”
I blinked at his attitude that showed no trace of courtesy.
I thought he really was as unruly as I’d heard.
At the same time, I remembered why people had tolerated this man’s rudeness.
It was because of his overwhelming abilities.
‘This person’s skill is definitely…’
I immediately looked at the director.
The director shrugged her shoulders and left after saying one thing.
“Try to tame him well, Yebichnna.”
A hideous arm suddenly cast a shadow over my view as I watched the director.
“You said you’d even fix a criminal bastard like me, right? You brought back that corpse over there, so one arm should be easy, right?”
He grabbed his stiffened left arm with his right hand and shook it.
I stared at that arm for a moment, then raised my head again to look straight into his eyes.
“Let’s go to my Workshop.”
And before turning around, I added as firmly and politely as possible.
“…And since we’re meeting for the first time, please don’t speak casually to me, Mr. Lim Yooil.”
The man’s eyes widened round for a moment.
As I started walking ahead first, I heard his whistling sound from behind.
“Wow, feisty. I like it.”
Senior Jinseong and Oppa Seondonguk passed by Yui and walked closely beside me.
“Will you be okay, Yebichnna?”
At Oppa Seondonguk’s question, I slowly nodded and looked down at my hands.
The palm that the Gate had left its mark on.
Mimi’s warning that using vast amounts of mana could make my location traceable and dangerous flashed through my mind.
But I couldn’t stop now.
I had already made up my mind to enter the Gate, and Mimi had said I was ready.
‘I’ll give it a try.’
I opened the Workshop door with a determined heart.
Yui, who had followed behind me, sat crookedly on a chair with his swaggering attitude.
I closed the door and spoke calmly.
“Please lie down on that Workbench.”
At my words, he immediately flopped his body onto the Workbench.
Then he rolled up the clothes on his left arm and left leg.
“…”
I took a deep breath and opened my true sight.
My vision expanded, and I began to see the traces of mana flowing beneath his skin.
I examined the damaged circuits in Yui’s arms and legs very carefully and in detail.
But the condition was much more serious than I had thought.
‘…They’re gone.’
In Oppa Seondonguk’s case, mana residue was blocking the circuits so mana couldn’t flow, but the circuits themselves existed.
But Yui was different.
The circuits themselves, which should have been spread out like tangled blood vessels, were completely invisible.
I thought there would be at least some traces left, but the entire circuits had really burned away without a trace.
A wave of confusion hit me for a moment.
If there was no path at all, where was I supposed to draw mana from?
I suppressed my confusion and expanded my vision wider.
‘Where is it?’
I needed to find the first part where the circuit was severed.
That’s when it happened.
I caught sight of the end of a severed circuit trembling faintly.
It was at a point that passed under the armpit and continued to the side.
“Mr. Lim Yooil, please roll up your top.”
“Why the clothes?”
Then Senior Jinseong, who was standing beside us, suddenly pulled up Yui’s top without a word.
“…!”
Everyone was shocked at Yui’s exposed upper body.
From his left side to the upper part of his chest, his skin was blackened as if he had suffered severe burns.
The damage to his torso was much more severe than the visible arms and legs.
“Haha! Nobody knew that I was rotting from the side!”
Then Yui burst into loud laughter and looked at me with interest.
“This one doesn’t seem to be a quack?”
Senior Jinseong coldly snapped “Watch your mouth,” but I let out a light sigh and explained to Yui.
“…I need to revive the dead circuits in your side first. Only then can the mana from your heart flow to your entire left side. I need to clear the path first.”
“Do whatever you want.”
I carefully placed my hand on his side.
I began condensing my mana beyond his cold, hardened skin.
“I’ll start now. It might hurt.”
Those words were the signal.
^[Skill Activated: Wave of Regeneration]^
Mana began explosively pouring out from my fingertips.
Wooooong—!
The entire workshop filled with bright light from the pressure of my mana.
It wasn’t simply a level of emitting light.
The pressure of mana bursting out like crazy was enough to make even Jinseong Senior and Donguk Oppa hesitate and step back.
Beads of sweat on my forehead instantly dripped down to my chin.
The enormous mana consumption made my mind feel dizzy.
What I saw inside his body through my insight was spectacular.
In that place that had been like drought-stricken rice fields, cracked beyond dry, circuits began spreading in all directions like rainwater seeping in.
“Guh, urgh…! Aaaaah!”
At that moment, Yui gripped the workbench and screamed.
The pain of dead nerves and circuits being forcibly awakened would be beyond imagination.
“Just hold on a little longer…!”
The blue light stream that started from his side raced relentlessly toward his armpit and knees.
His skin that had been blackened and dead began magically regaining its original color and vitality.
“Hah…!”
The moment the circuits finally revived to the tips of his fingers and toes, I gasped for breath and pulled my hands away.
“…Phew, it’s finished.”
My whole body was soaked in sweat, but before my eyes, a miracle had occurred.
Yui’s arms and legs that had been blackened and invisible were now filled with gleaming mana circuits.
Yui blankly clenched and opened his arms, then looked up at me as if seeing a monster.
“You… what are you?”
The arrogant look that had been dismissing people just moments ago was gone.
“Go outside and check. See if it’s properly fixed.”
“…This is crazy.”
He jumped up and burst through the door.
No, rather than ‘went out,’ ‘disappeared’ was the right expression.
Kwaaaaang—!
A tremendous roar came from outside.
He was moving freely through the Virtual Training Ground at invisible speed.
There was nothing where he had passed, but explosive sounds kept echoing.
It was the moment his nickname ‘Sonic Boom Hunter’ was proven.
“Hahahaha! This is it! This is it!”
His refreshing laughter echoed throughout the entire training ground.
“If he pushes himself like that, his right circuit might burn out…”
Despite my words of concern for Yui, a smile formed on my lips.
Seeing him so happy made me think that every drop of sweat I shed was truly precious.
It was the moment I came to love my skill that restored someone’s lost life, my class, and myself.
