The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 57

* * *

Making those who talk nonsense shut up is very easy. You just need to clearly show that you have the skills.

A moment later, perhaps knowing the situation, Jeok Yunha suddenly appeared and set up a stage.

‘Wow, this is quite a show! Everyone should watch something like this together!’

‘Wh-what…!’

Thanks to her considerable influence in the market, she excitedly spread word throughout the neighborhood, making the situation much bigger.

I looked at the new patients who appeared before me.

‘Are they homeless?’

Their shabby, worn clothes and unwashed appearance for a long time were similar to those who sat blankly in the back alleys of this city.

There were definitely those in this city who didn’t receive benefits.

For reference, I wasn’t the one who brought the patients.

To leave no room for doubt, I told Physician Peiman to bring the patients directly himself. His side also accepted this.

Of course, in case he might flee, I asked Dad to monitor him with wind power, but that physician’s disciple dragged the patients over.

‘Crazy bastards.’

I was furious at the sight of them bringing patients tied with rope, but I had to suppress it for what was to come.

Thus, five patients gathered before me.

“I brought the patients directly, so there shouldn’t be any complaints.”

Peiman clearly looked flustered, as if he hadn’t expected the situation to grow this big.

But when our eyes met, he acted shamelessly.

“Hmph, I’m c-curious what kind of state you’ll be in when your fraudulent acts are exposed right before everyone’s eyes!”

Acting tough while being scared.

‘Being an intermediate physician and all, he probably thinks it would hurt his pride to back down now.’

Even while thinking something’s strange, there’s no turning back.

The higher the rank, the more there are guys like this. That’s why I’ve seen countless people collapse while stubbornly insisting they can’t be wrong.

‘Now it’s your turn.’

I raised the corners of my mouth inwardly.

“And you treat them too.”

“…”

“What, scared?”

I grinned wickedly.

That confident face of yours, I’ll watch how it gets twisted.

* * *

Peiman was flustered.

‘This wasn’t what I had in mind…?’

Having an Oriental Person as his master, he was renowned as a skilled physician in his youth.

His master was a grandmaster of acupuncture.

Peiman studied diligently under him and became independent when his skills had improved to a decent level, though not quite matching his master.

His abilities were sufficient for the people. However, his prime lasted only until then.

Peiman himself knew it too.

That his skills were only good enough to be the best in a small village or small city.

Becoming an intermediate physician was purely luck.

To be precise… it was thanks to treating a relative of a noble family in one village.

It could truly be called a life-changing moment.

The high noble he had saved was from one of the Eight Great Families of the Empire! A person from ‘Sinion’ no less.

‘Skills are bound to rust. Do not neglect your training. This applies even when you turn sixty.’

He no longer listened to his master’s advice.

After that, even without effort, just revealing his connection to Sinion brought wealth and honor rolling in!

Patients trusted the physician recommended by Sinion extremely, even when treatments went wrong or medicines were strange.

Peiman came to ‘Black Forest Market’ 8 years ago because of Sinion’s order to establish himself there.

He was told to build his reputation as it would be useful someday, and now he had finally received orders, but!

‘Didn’t you say I just needed to handle a simple request…!’

The senior knight from Sinion told him to fulfill Kanin’s request.

Kanin said he just needed to teach an arrogant young physician a lesson!

‘Master… something’s strange, no reply letter has come from Kanin.’

He first felt something was off when he saw the young baby who appeared claiming to be a physician.

The joke-like name ‘Hei Biyu’.

To dare use ‘Hei’ in the Hei Family Estate’s territory was tantamount to impersonation.

…But the warrior who appeared with her was clearly from the Hei Family.

Only then did Peiman realize that the Sinion Knight and Kanin hadn’t given him proper information, and he felt dismayed.

But it was already too late.

He had already become complacent. Proper judgment was impossible, and his hands had stiffened, losing the once-great acupuncture skills long ago.

The disciples he had trained well in his youth trusted him, but from some point, doubt had begun to bloom in their eyes too.

Thus, Peiman lacked the skill to detect anything strange about Hei Biyu’s medicine.

Even now, he was merely being stubborn.

Until now, there had been no problems because his backing was so powerful.

However, he didn’t know.

When no one makes it an issue, it doesn’t become a problem, but…

When people start finding fault, even an iron fortress can crumble uncontrollably fast.

That time was now.

“Are you going to refuse?”

Cold sweat beaded on his back.

Surely that Little One should have been intimidated by his reputation and confessed her wrongdoing.

Even if that failed, Kanin or a Sinion Knight should have appeared here to lend support…!

Why? Why did it come to this?

‘They said they’d come! They said they’d help! Damn it, damn, damn…!!’

Peiman glanced around nervously.

People were watching. About half still trusted him.

His disciples sensed something was strange but weren’t suspecting their Master yet.

If he ran away now?

His throat was drenched with cold sweat.

‘I’ll lose everything.’

There was no escape route. He clenched his fists tightly.

“Hmph, w-who said anything about refusing? You’re the one who should stop acting up just because you have Hei Family Warriors behind you.”

“I said I’m alone, are your ears blocked…?”

“What?”

“Never mind. Even if you win, I have no intention of harming you.”

Baby Physician Biyu smiled brightly.

A sharp light unbefitting a baby flashed in her curved eyes.

“We are, you see.”

The tense Peiman didn’t hear those words.

He was only relieved that the menacing man, presumably ‘Hei Bihu’, wasn’t stepping forward.

‘There’s no way I’ll lose anyway!’

The patients his disciple brought were people with the same symptoms.

Their bodies were covered in spots, making some spectators frown.

These were patients prepared in advance.

When Kanin was preparing the patients, he had confided that he would take other measures beforehand.

‘Just in case that bitch acts up, we need a sure way to win, don’t we? Oh, I’m absolutely not doubting your skills, Physician. But still… it’s better to be certain.’

Kanin said he would feed poison to the prepared patients in advance.

He explained in detail how that poison would manifest its toxicity and what would cause the patients to die.

‘Ah, of course the patients won’t even know what they ate, kekeke!’

In that process, several disciples helped administer the poison, so they were all accomplices.

‘…The poison was deadly poison.’

So those patients, no, those homeless people were destined to die anyway.

The plan was to kill them right after bullying the little physician into treating them.

However, Kanin, who had actually planned all the schemes, was nowhere to be found.

The Sinion Knight was also not appearing.

“Now then, are all the physicians ready?”

Jeok Yunha, who was hosting the event, smiled brightly.

She had cleverly moved the medicinal materials here as well, so more people could see them.

Thus, in the middle of the circle formed by the people stood five patients, Hei Biyu, Hei Bihu, and Physician Peiman.

“I’ll go first.”

Hei Biyu, who had escaped from Dad’s arms and come down to the floor, waved her hand.

Peiman’s eyes widened greatly.

“They said patients with the same illness, right? I’ll treat three out of the five.”

Biyu didn’t even wait for an answer and clapped her hands with a snap! Unlike the cute sound…

“Whooooa!”

A massive wave arose. It was Biyu’s specialty.

The wave drew gentle yet rough curves as it engulfed the patients.

The patients looked bewildered.

“Don’t be surprised. I’m just diagnosing.”

Peiman’s eyes grew so wide they seemed ready to tear.

‘What on earth is this?’

Peiman had seen countless physicians in his time.

But among those with healing abilities, he had never seen anyone with such enormous power.

For natural element ability users, scale was also a measure of strength.

Three patients were trapped in water. But at a glance, they also looked like people trapped in a vast ocean.

The baby with a cute and lovely appearance that wouldn’t be strange to mistake for a doll stared at the water expressionlessly.

Her large eyes opened wide for a moment, then twisted fiercely.

“Huh? What’s this?”

Even that expression drew admiring comments about how cute it was, but regardless, water streams surged behind Biyu.

Swish swish, the water streams moved faster than ever before, gulping down the medicinal materials.

The water streams that had initially been tinted green turned blue, then became cloudy before sparkling with golden light.

The spectators let out enchanted gasps of admiration at the mystical light, as if they had come to the Immortal’s World.

‘The speed of making medicine…’

Peiman’s mouth fell wide open.
