The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 19

Professor Seong wiped away her tears and examined various parts of Jinseong’s body while asking questions.

“How are the paralysis symptoms? Any headaches? Can you control the hypersensitivity?”

“There’s no numbness in both hands. No headaches either.”

“Then did you have nightmares?”

Jinseong, who had been answering Professor Seong’s rapid-fire questions methodically, stopped speaking.

Did he have nightmares today?

He recalled the moment he opened his eyes this morning, then soon shook his head.

“I didn’t have any.”

Professor Seong smiled brightly in surprise.

“That’s wonderful! The days you didn’t have nightmares were so rare. It seems to be effective for your mental state too!”

She congratulated him as if it were her own achievement.

After all, he had always suffered from nightmares and sleep deprivation.

Jinseong felt bewildered.

It felt strange that he had experienced a peaceful morning without a single nightmare.

He habitually clenched and unclenched his right fist.

His joints felt no discomfort or stiffness, and the stabbing headaches had disappeared into tranquility. Even with just a 10% improvement, it was this significant.

Jinseong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

“It’s good.”

Really.

Professor Seong smiled warmly.

In all the years she had been treating him, this was the first time she had heard such positive words from him.

“I wish Yebichnna could treat other people too. It would be great if medicine like this could be distributed, but that’s probably too much like a dream, isn’t it?”

Jinseong didn’t answer.

He tried to imagine Yebichnna contracting with other people, but it didn’t feel good at all.

Having experienced the dramatically improved addiction symptoms and the energy surging from within his body, he didn’t want to yield Yebichnna to anyone else.

Of course, that kind girl would probably think differently than him.

“Still, don’t overdo it. There are cases where addiction symptoms suddenly worsen.”

Even as she said this, the smile never left Professor Seong’s face.

She had come worried about Jinseong after the sudden call, thinking something serious had happened to him, but seeing his improved condition naturally lifted her spirits.

It was just as she was humming and taking out her acupuncture needles.

[This is a call from Association President Maeng Seokwoo.]

The AI’s mechanical voice echoed through the bedroom.

At the same time, Professor Seong’s bright expression turned gloomy.

“…Sigh, I guess you can’t avoid overworking. Still, can you spare about 10 minutes? I’ll quickly give you acupuncture. It’ll be good for muscle pain recovery.”

After finishing his treatment, Ean handed Jinseong a glass of warm milk.

“They’re making a fuss about deciding the next country to support.”

“What do you think?”

“Looking at the compensation they offered, Germany is the best. They put up a legacy series.”

“Not just one item, but a series?”

“Yeah, they made a bold move. But I think Russia isn’t bad either. They did provide massive A-rank Hunter support to Korea before.”

“Hmm.”

Jinseong handed the milk glass back to Ean and got into the elevator.

Though the situation was no different from usual, his mood and condition were at their peak.

It was a lightness he might have felt three years ago.

Jinseong swung his arms around to check the paralysis symptoms that had spread to his shoulders.

As expected, there was no hindrance at all.

“…Good.”

When he arrived at the Association President’s Office floor, all the secretaries stood up and greeted him.

“Good day, sir.”

The secretaries with their neatly styled hair and tidy uniforms subtly glanced at Jinseong’s face.

He was already handsome, but being treated as a hero worldwide made him look even more handsome—or was that just their imagination?

“Ahh.”

“The benefits are the best.”

After Jinseong passed by with just a nod as acknowledgment, the secretaries clutched their heads and complained of heartache.

“Oh! Hunter Gang!”

Before Jinseong even reached the Association President’s Office, Maeng Seokwoo, who had been waiting for him at the door, came running in his socks.

“You worked hard, you worked hard! You said you weren’t the one who conquered it before! Do you know how surprised I was when you suddenly said you were going to conquer Japan?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Ah, no need to be sorry. As long as it worked out well in the end! Just don’t do it again next time.”

On Maeng Seokwoo’s finger patting Jinseong’s shoulder was a flashy ring he hadn’t seen before.

Jinseong pretended not to notice it.

“Ahem, about the next conquest country.”

Maeng Seokwoo handed him a paper with a list of compensations.

“I’ve given it careful consideration and established priorities. It would be good for everyone if we conquer them in this order.”

Though it seemed like he was asking for his opinion, it was clearly coercion.

Jinseong answered without even looking at the words written on the document.

“I’ll review it and let you know.”

“No, what review? Just go with it…”

“It’s not something I can decide on my own.”

Maeng Seokwoo made an expression like he was hearing the most absurd thing.

“Who do you need permission from or anything like that? You’re not in that kind of position, are you? You who won’t even listen to me? Who are you asking permission from?”

“Good work.”

As Jinseong walked away nonchalantly, Maeng Seokwoo, left alone in the hallway, belatedly came to his senses.

He moved his short legs to chase after Jinseong.

“Where are you going now! Every second is precious!”

“To the Alumni Association.”

Thud thud thud. Maeng Seokwoo, who had been running with quick steps to match Jinseong’s long strides, stopped dead in his tracks.

“That, that crazy brat…”

Maeng Seokwoo clutched the back of his neck and complained of a headache.

The powerful nation that possesses Gangjinseong, S.O.U.T.H. K.O.R.E.A

This is what national pride is

Praise God Jinseong

The community was literally in chaos.

Senior, who conquered the Tokyo Gate in just one hour after entering, was deified across the entire internet.

The praise for him, who had overcome even the sole disadvantage of long conquest times, was endless.

The entire community was plastered with Senior’s photos.

Gangjinseong departing the country, Gangjinseong jumping from a helicopter, Gangjinseong giving tactical instructions, Gangjinseong drinking water.

In times when thousands of posts were uploaded daily, among the ‘Gangjinseong’ posts that dominated the HOT topics board, there was only one post unrelated to him.

HOT! This oppa is so my type; does anyone know who he is?

This oppa who was held in Gat Jinseo’s arms when jumping out of the helicopterㅠ

Who could this pretty little thing be that looks so white and squishy ㅠ

I’ll be his number 1 fan…

Comments

└I was looking for him too;;

└Is that really a guy? How can he be that pretty (drooling)

└He’s not even registered with the Hunter Association, what’s the deal?

└He’s making me think weird thoughts again, seriously

└I heard there are A-rank healers that the Hunter Association keeps hidden and doesn’t show to the public ㅇㅇ hidden hunters or something like that

└What kind of amazing skills does he have that God Jinseong carried him down???

└That guy already has a fan cafe lol

“This is trouble.”

After staring at my phone for a while, I flopped down on the sofa.

I had created a fake identity and used disguise items to avoid attention, but jumping from the helicopter while being carried drew unnecessary interest. It felt like using a hoe when I should have used a spade.

‘It’s my fault, I guess.’

I should have grabbed a rope and jumped down.

“I awakened without any physical enhancement, so what was I supposed to do?”

And Senior told me to hold onto him first.

“Sigh, whatever. I probably won’t get caught. I used a disguise item after all.”

Checking the time, it was just past 6 PM.

The alumni meeting was at 7 PM. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the meeting place, so I need to get dressed and ready now.

“I don’t want to go….”

Isn’t there a way to avoid going? As I was racking my brain, a brilliant idea suddenly occurred to me.

The alumni meeting is just to subtly hint to Senior Jinseong about the good points of Nara’s Guild, right?

I have Senior Jinseong’s personal contact information.

‘Can’t I just tell him by text?’

‘Senior, I heard Shilla Guild is really good these days.’

Just as I picked up my phone to open the text message window.

I remembered the text he had sent me.

[Come to the alumni meeting]

“…It does sound like something bad will happen if I don’t go.”

As I was fidgeting with my phone, lost in thought, I suddenly felt a strange flow of mana.

I bolted upright from the sofa and looked at the point where mana was condensing.

The mana swirled like the eye of a small typhoon.

“…!”

While I was tense from seeing this unfamiliar mana flow for the first time, I was startled and ran toward the portal.

Through the typhoon-eye-like portal, Mimi appeared.

And she was covered in wounds.

“Mimi!”

I threw myself forward to catch the collapsing Mimi.
