The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 90

At the Hunter Association Headquarters, what cut through the quiet of dawn was the relentless sound of Ean’s mouse clicks.

He had moved the ‘Yebichnna State-certified Hunter Registration Documents’ that he and Jinseong had meticulously prepared together to final approval and drafted a press release.

Shortly after, South Korea—no, the entire world—was turned upside down.

From the crack of dawn, Yebichnna’s name was plastered across the breaking news subtitles on every channel. But the real bombshell was the official announcement from the World Hunter Federation.

[The Federation acknowledges that she is an asset the entire world must protect, and has given a positive response saying they are prepared to register her name after a few essential tests, shocking the world. Getting one’s name registered with the World Hunter Federation is extremely difficult, so even Hunter Gangjinseong currently…]

This amazing breaking news was being watched together by Ean, Director Seo Eunhae, and Chairman Maeng Seokwoo in the Hunter Association situation room.

Having a Korean hunter’s name registered with the World Federation was a national celebration, but Chairman Maeng’s expression was twisted as if he had chewed rotten meat.

“Director Seo, are you playing games with me right now?”

Chairman Maeng growled lowly toward Eunhae.

His pride was completely crushed by the fact that the major decision to designate Yebichnna as a state-certified hunter had been made by bypassing him as the association chairman and contacting the President directly.

“I’m the association chairman right now! You did this before and now you’re ignoring my opinion again? You may be a national hero, but if you pull this kind of stunt one more time, you better be prepared to resign on the spot!”

Even at Chairman Maeng’s fierce threat, Seo Eunhae didn’t bat an eye.

Instead, she let out a scoff and replied lightly.

“I wonder if the person who should resign is really me, Chairman Maeng? You don’t really not know why Jang Dohun entered Korea at a time like this, do you?”

Chairman Maeng’s pupils visibly shook.

Eunhae didn’t miss that flustered look and smiled coldly as she drove the nail in.

“You should try to stay on my good side. That’s the only way you’ll be able to keep that position for long.”

It was a chilling statement befitting the association’s real power holder.

Eunhae clicked her tongue inwardly.

One side was too stupid, the other too cunning—both were problematic.

The chess piece she had placed thinking it would be easy to control and manipulate wasn’t rolling along but just creaking, which was pathetic.

Eunhae stood up before the news had even finished.

“Where are you going, Director?”

At Ean’s question, Eunhae put on her coat and answered briefly.

“I need to find out what that bastard Jang Dohun wants so I can at least make some conditions. Since he’s made a deal proposal, it’s only polite to respond.”

“Don’t you need an escort?”

“Will you go?”

“No, I’d rather not have my back broken in a fight between whales. I was thinking of sending Hunter Ohyeongtaek.”

“Never mind, I can use my skills fine even with one arm missing.”

As Eunhae coolly left the situation room, Chairman Maeng, left behind, ground his teeth in fury.

Ean watched the fierce-eyed chairman nervously and let out a long sigh.

How was he supposed to calm that man’s anger, how much sucking up would he have to do?

He was already dying from work, and Ean resented Director Seo Eunhae for dumping Chairman Maeng on him.

The world was buzzing with those three characters ‘Yebichnna,’ but I, the actual owner of that name, had stayed up all night in the workshop with hollow eyes.

I was going crazy making items to conquer the Predator Gate.

The news sounds coming from outside the workshop pressed down on my shoulders like a massive boulder rather than encouragement. I couldn’t rest at all because of the pressure.

But I couldn’t turn it off either… I needed to know how the world was turning.

But contrary to my efforts, the results were disastrous.

“Why! Why the hell!”

I finally couldn’t hold back and slammed the workshop table with a bang.

“Why do I keep getting only ‘Incomplete Grade’! Mimi, do you know why?”

I lamented toward Mimi, who was yawning in a loaf position. I was so frustrated I could cry.

Until now, just activating my skills would make any material exhibit 100% effectiveness.

But this skill was different.

The skill’s mana array was clearly perfect, but the moment it solidified into an item, it lost its light and crumbled.

“I definitely made it seriously, thinking I wanted to conquer the Predator Gate and hoping the world’s hunters wouldn’t get hurt, you know? My mindset was perfect too, so why does this keep happening?”

I threw a question mixed with despair at Mimi while looking at all kinds of failures rolling around on the floor.

I naturally thought Mimi would have a sharp solution, but that was a mistake.

“I don’t know either.”

Mimi brushed off my question with a blunt tone.

At that monotonous voice, all the strength finally drained from my body.

“In the end, I have no choice but to try making it with perfect materials.”

But with Sohee’s warehouse and the Sangseong Guild logistics warehouse blown up, materials couldn’t be obtained right away.

“I have to just twiddle my thumbs until they can be airlifted from overseas…? When every moment counts.”

The Predator Gates were gradually turning their entrances redder as time passed, but my items, the only hope, had no news at all.

There were tons of people who learned through the news that my items could even defeat Predator Gates, but if I said I actually couldn’t make the items…

“Even if riots broke out calling me a fraud, I’d have nothing to say.”

While all sorts of negative simulations were running through my head.

A call came from Ean.

“Hello?”

-This might be sudden, but there will be a state-certified hunter designation ceremony today at 1 PM.

“Today at 1 PM means there are four hours left…?”

-It’s beyond my capabilities, so there’s nothing I can do. The designation ceremony will be broadcast live worldwide, but there’s one thing you should know.

“What’s that?”

-The World Hunter Federation requested to show Yebichnna’s item synthesis process during the live broadcast. Normally this verification should take place at a designated location, but I don’t know what nerve they have to do this.

“Ah… But my items are skills whose effects aren’t visible to the eye even if made right in front of you, will that be okay?”

-It’s fine. They’re not trying to see the effects, but just want to first check if you’re qualified as an enchanter by seeing the mana synthesis process or the results. You don’t need to feel too burdened.

He said not to feel burdened, but I couldn’t help it at all.

First, the fact that my skill usage would be broadcast live to the entire world was burden enough to kill me.

But the most burdensome thing was the situation unfolding right before my eyes.

“What the hell is this…”

Ean had said he’d pick me up in front of the store, so I was waiting and getting ready.

Several hunter limousines glided up to my store, and S-rank hunters poured out of those cars.

That is, Gangjinseong, Seondonguk, Shinnara, and Ohyeongtaek hunters—all of them.

They were even dressed in formal suits they wouldn’t normally wear.

Whatever they had done to the surroundings, not a soul was visible in the alley and even the air felt quiet.

While I stood there dazed, unable to move in front of the store door, Nara ran up the store steps and hugged me.

“Congratulations, our Yebichnna! Now you’re really a hunter? Do you know how much my mouth has been itching because I wanted to brag about you?”

“Sister, is there anyone better than me? I want to be jealous but honestly your abilities are so overpowered I can’t even feel jealous.”

The two talkative people greeted me first.

Behind them stood Senior Jinseong and Oppa Donguk in white shirts and black slacks.

For some reason, Senior had swept back all his bangs, further emphasizing his masculine features.

With his crisp eyebrows and straight forehead revealed, his handsome face shone even brighter.

With two good-looking people standing on either side leaving the middle empty, I felt like an actress walking the red carpet at a film festival.

Senior Jinseong walked toward me.

He greeted me with a gentle smile and extended his hand.

“Now I have a justification to stay by your side even without being a part-timer.”

Senior tilted his head slightly and looked into my face.

Senior’s hand that pulled mine to hold it was incredibly warm.

^[Gangjinseong part-timer’s contract period has ended.]^
