14. I Was Happy Being a Despised F-Rank Healer Though? (12)

When I turned to look at Gong Seo-yun with eyes full of betrayal, Gong Seo-yun grinned and shrugged his shoulders.

“Why?”

“I told you the reason!”

“Did I say I wouldn’t tell Yuhan Seong if you gave me a reason?”

Come to think of it, I had never made such a promise directly.

When I hesitated, Gong Seo-yun chuckled.

“Right, so you’re scared of Yuhan Seong too.”

“It’s not that Han Seong is scary.”

“But you knew you’d get an earful if caught, right?”

“Ugh.”

Starting with Yuhan Seong who had been drilling the kids in the training ground, our kids began turning to look at Gong Seo-yun and me one by one.

“…Still, why now? You’re interrupting training.”

I frowned while whispering to Gong Seo-yun, but he smiled as if it didn’t matter.

“If not during training, when else can we gather without worrying about other people’s stares?”

It was an understandable point.

At the same time, it was a scary statement.

What are you planning to do without worrying about others’ stares…?

Then Yu Hee was the first to stop training and approach, asking.

“What’s wrong? Hali looks upset.”

“When everyone comes.”

“…?”

When Gong Seo-yun waved his hand to call the kids over, everyone stopped training as if they’d been waiting and approached us.

Despite the considerable distance, everyone came over as fast as the wind.

“What’s going on?”

Yuhan Seong asked, tilting his head.

When I flinched, his eyes narrowed.

“You don’t seem to be hurt anywhere.”

Yu Hee checked my condition in the meantime and muttered.

Then Gong Seo-yun clapped his hands and said loudly enough for everyone to hear.

“Hali says she wants to practice healing.”

“Healing practice?”

Lee Hae-sol, remembering what I’d said about not being able to use heal, asked in confusion.

Seeing faint worry in the eyes looking at me, I reflexively waved my hands and shouted.

“It’s not overexertion! I was more like… reluctant to do it, but now I feel like I should.”

“You were reluctant?”

Hae-sol’s eyes widened slightly.

Yuhan Seong thought quietly for a moment, then led us to where the makeshift table was.

When we all sat around together and I glanced at Gong Seo-yun, he winked at me.

It seemed he wasn’t planning to mention that I had cut my own arm with my own hand.

‘Instead, discuss it all together here, is that it?’

Not knowing that Yuhan Seong was watching me and Gong Seo-yun with narrowed eyes again, I continued with a relieved expression.

“Actually, the word ‘misfortune’ is included in the skill description.”

It would be better not to mention the official name Reverse Heal or words like Other World.

However, it seemed good to mention misfortune once.

If I kept becoming unlucky without them knowing why, they would become even more anxious.

“Misfortune?”

Yuhan Seong immediately frowned.

“Wait, is it displayed numerically?”

“What’s that? Like a stat?”

Since some people don’t know about the misfortune attribute, Yu Hee answered Hyun I-seo’s question.

“It’s one of the rare stats, and it’s quite troublesome.”

Seeing Hyun I-seo become serious, I lightly shook my head.

“It’s not quite a numerically displayed stat, but, um. The description says it heals by absorbing the misfortune of the affected area.”

“Absorbing misfortune, that’s unusual.”

Yu Hee muttered.

“So that’s why. I can understand being reluctant.”

Hae-sol also nodded calmly and said.

“Hali.”

Then Yuhan Seong, who had been thinking about something, spoke up cautiously, unlike himself.

“…I think it would be better not to use that.”

“It is unsettling, right?”

“It’s not just unsettling…”

Of course, Yuhan Seong would know more about misfortune stats than the other kids gathered here.

‘Though he’s probably not particularly interested, so he’d know less than me.’

Because more is revealed in the original work, that is, Yuhan Seong’s current cycle.

However, since he has countless dungeon clearing experiences, he couldn’t be completely ignorant.

Those from families like Yu Hee or Lee Hae-sol would have naturally heard about it.

Hyun I-seo and Gong Seo-yun had similar expressions.

“I’ve heard of it before, but it really exists? Misfortune, I mean.”

I could hear Gong Seo-yun muttering.

“Wouldn’t that be fatal for Jin Hali?”

“Right.”

Yuhan Seong nodded at Gong Seo-yun’s muttered words.

“Actually, it’s not usually a stat that causes big problems, but I don’t know how it might affect you, Hali.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Hyun I-seo asked.

“I know that misfortune stats have never had major influence. But it’s not like they have no effect at all, and Hali is still F-rank.”

“You mean if the influence of misfortune stats increases and decreases according to the size of magical power, it could be problematic?”

“Right.”

Yuhan Seong nodded at my words.

Everyone looked even more serious.

And asked Gong Seo-yun.

“…But didn’t you just say you wanted to practice that?”

“Hmm. I didn’t know about this either. Hali, aren’t you unsettled?”

“To be honest, even if it’s unsettling, I think it would be useful.”

Yuhan Seong’s face darkened considerably.

As if he knew what I was going to say.

Lee Hae-sol also soon looked down slightly with an expression of having guessed something.

Those two won’t object.

Yu Hee gently took my hand and asked kindly.

“Hali. Absorbing means you become unlucky, right? But what use is that?”

“Since misfortune is ambiguous in interpretation, its application range is also broad.”

I answered with a grin.

“Let’s say potions run out completely. In my case, since I have many special potions, imagine special potions running out when they’re needed. But special potions often have special ingredients and different manufacturing methods from basic potions, and there are many that only I know. So there’s no solution.”

For me, ingredients aren’t a worry thanks to Baridegi’s Domain.

“Even if there’s a regular healer there, regardless of that person’s rank, if special potions are needed, like detoxification or antidote potions, they might not be able to do anything.”

A healer’s heal is basically focused more on external injuries than internal ones, and efficiency drops in special situations.

What I mean is.

‘It takes more mana to heal a poisoned state than to heal a cut from a blade.’

And the difference is quite significant, apparently.

Moreover, special injuries sustained in high-grade dungeons sometimes couldn’t be healed at all.

‘S-rank dungeon bosses are all powerful beings from the Other World, after all.’

There’s a high possibility that only Yuhan Seong and I know this much at this point.

Still, it was common knowledge that the higher the dungeon grade, the higher the grade of special injuries.

Since everyone knew this, they were hesitating but still agreeing with my words.

“There might also be situations where there are no other healers at all.”

I continued speaking.

“…Even if we went together these few times, in the long run, I would have become a burden in dungeons eventually anyway. That’s why I accepted the school’s proposal to handle rear support as announced this time. But.”

I paused for a moment, then spoke carefully.

“Since I’ll be handling rear support, I think I need to prepare for the worst-case scenario even more.”

“If you want to do it, then do it.”

Lee Hae-sol, who had been keeping his eyes downcast the whole time, spoke bluntly.

His characteristic cold aura felt strangely warm at that moment.

“I’m still a bit concerned about the misfortune though. Will it be okay, Hali?”

Hee sighed and asked gloomily.

“You should look into whether it just accumulates in you, or if there’s a way to discharge it? Or should I say release it. A way to consume it would be good to know.”

“Unfortunately, that’s not shown in the system information. However, it’s precisely because such an unusual thing is attached that I want to try practicing now.”

“Ah, don’t tell me. Is that what you were talking about earlier?”

“Yeah. My heal skill has limited uses, but like potions, there’s a possibility it could be effective against special injuries sustained in S-rank dungeons.”

Misfortune is comprehensive.

It’s not a word that refers only to simple external injuries.

“I’m quite confident about it.”

Hee was getting so worried that a menacing look was starting to flash in her eyes, but she couldn’t argue back.

Right, well, this wasn’t really a place where I was trying to get permission or anything.

Especially regarding skills, at the point where I had revealed such specific information, it would have been better for them to give up on trying to persuade me.

You could say my resolve was firm.

“Ah, me. If I had known this would happen…”

Still, I was grateful for the support, so I smiled at Lee Hae-sol with gratitude.

While desperately pretending not to hear Gong Seo-yun muttering something.
