14. I Was Happy Being a Despised F-Rank Healer, You Know? (13)

Hyun I-seo, who was sitting next to me, made a gloomy expression with his lips slightly pouting as he spoke.

“What. I’m against it. Jin Hali says she’s practicing now. Think about the potion incident. She’s going to use heal every single day without fail, right? Is three times a day really that little?”

Little…?

That’s 90% of the reason why F-rank healers are despised.

“That’s 90 times in a month! 90 times of accumulated bad luck!”

I was a bit dumbfounded by his completely self-centered words, but I had nothing to say about what followed.

“Besides, if it’s Jin Hali, she’ll definitely go around looking for kids injured in high-grade dungeons every day like she said, right? If potions don’t work anymore, then… Ah, no way. No way. The third years are already eyeing her, mmph mmph!”

“Shh.”

Gong Seo-yun smiled menacingly as he covered Hyun I-seo’s mouth.

…What was that about third years just now?

‘What would these guys say if they knew I cut my own arm instead of going around looking for people in this atmosphere?’

I glanced at Yuhan Seong, whose face was full of opposition but kept his mouth firmly shut.

Then Yuhan Seong spoke.

“How about trying it for just a week, and if it seems too much, you’ll listen to our opinion?”

Was Yuhan Seong trying to oppose it?

I looked at Lee Hae-sol just in case.

Lee Hae-sol thought for a moment, then looked at me and asked for my opinion. He seemed to agree with Yuhan Seong’s words.

“Additionally, during that period, let’s limit the healing to only Class 8 kids.”

Gong Seo-yun said as he released Hyun I-seo.

I thought it over and nodded.

“Alright.”

Since I’m most concerned about Class 8 anyway.

“I’ll tell the kids.”

Yu Hee said with a sigh.

***

Talk about how popular potions sold by an F-rank healer could be only came from among the upperclassmen.

At least the first years and teachers were looking forward to the potion shop opening.

And the afternoon after the announcement was posted.

There was actually a long line stretching out from the empty classroom with a sign reading [Hali’s Potion Shop].

Seo Jeong-u from Class 8, first year, who was standing in line, recalled what he had heard from Yu Hee yesterday.

“If you need healing, try asking Hali once. It’s only three times a day, but. She says she’s practicing.”

“She seems busy preparing potions, is it okay to bother her?”

“She says it’s fine for a week. I’m not sure about after that.”

All the Class 8 kids nodded at Yu Hee’s words spoken with an angelic smile.

Isang Hee asked in a displeased tone.

“Wh-why healing? Pr-practicing, she says, but it’s not like her being F-rank will change.”

“Huh?”

“I mean, just telling her to make po-potions would be be-better for Hali, wouldn’t it?”

No one in Class 8 believed her words spoken while rolling her eyes anymore, but the words themselves did make some sense.

Then Yuhan Seong tilted his head slightly and asked.

“Why are you deciding that?”

“Wh-what?”

“She says she’s practicing herself, so why are you telling her not to? Not just us, but who are you to say that?”

“I, I…”

“If you don’t trust the healing, you can just use potions. Isn’t that right?”

Isang Hee’s eyes welled up with tears as she made a resentful expression before backing down.

And she started spreading strange rumors outside.

‘I don’t understand why she keeps doing meaningless things. Is she stupid?’

Even if she was ungrateful and wanted to harm Jin Hali, moving so openly like that – who wouldn’t notice?

If Hali were alone it might be different, but Hali’s current friends are A-ranks and S-ranks who are being hyped up outside as the next generation of heroes.

‘And us too.’

Apart from personal goodwill toward Jin Hali, Class 8 itself needed Jin Hali.

The label of problem class wasn’t attached for no reason initially.

Class 8 was full of kids who would be branded as social misfits, potential criminals, or actual criminals if they made even the slightest mistake.

While there were occasionally those from influential families like Lee Hae-sol or Yu Hee, the rest all had pasts that couldn’t be known just by looking at them.

For them, Jin Hali hadn’t just saved their lives as a result, but had also brought them social reputation.

So from Seo Jeong-u’s perspective, even if Isang Hee disliked Jin Hali because she liked Yuhan Seong and Yuhan Seong treated Jin Hali specially, he thought ‘does she really need to go that far?’

Goi-deun said it was because of an inferiority complex.

‘She can’t stand an F-rank being above her.’

Grade supremacism is socially prevalent after all.

Whatever Isang Hee’s past was, it seemed certain that she had lived benefiting from her grade at minimum.

Or she had lived in danger of facing extreme situations without that grade.

‘Anyway, if Isang Hee crosses the line, Yu Hee’s side will probably handle it.’

He moved forward watching the shortening line and looked at the approaching sign.

And he raised his shoulders slightly with a proud expression.

It was a sign they had all made together after Isang Hee had quietly left.

Finally when his turn came and he entered, he could see potions displayed in rows.

“Jeong-u, you came?”

A shop that operates directly for exactly 1 hour per day after school.

Outside those hours, Hali would stock the potions and you could take them while putting money into the collection magic device.

If you just took them or took more than the proper amount, you’d be caught before crossing the threshold, your name would be recorded, and you’d never be able to use the potion shop again.

In the middle of the space filled with various other magic devices and skills, Hali welcomed Seo Jeong-u.

Jeong-u made a slightly pleased expression then said timidly as if muttering.

“The dungeon I’m about to enter is famous for unstable mana. I came to buy a stabilization potion.”

“Oh, here!”

After Jeong-u paid the price with a curious feeling and received the potion from Hali.

Hali held out something else.

“Try drinking this too.”

“What’s this?”

“Should I call it a potion that clears your head? I prepared it because there still seems to be a psychological barrier about the potions I developed! The reaction from the six people before was okay, but I wanted to hear your thoughts too.”

“For something like that, wouldn’t it be better to give it to people seeing it for the first time rather than me? Our class already trusts your potions.”

“Hey, it’s also an opening gift, you know?”

She looks strangely excited?

Seo Jeong-u smiled without realizing it and nodded, taking it.

“Hmm. Is this really a potion? It’s too pretty.”

“Of course!”

When he opened the cap, a subtle fragrance spread.

A sweet yet refreshing scent, like walking through a forest on a spring morning.

The bottle was so small it felt like an accessory, so Seo Jeong-u downed it in one gulp.

And his eyes widened.

“Wow.”

“How is it? Pretty effective, right?”

“Wow, yeah.”

Seo Jeong-u kept letting out exclamations while blinking his eyes.

It really cleared his head instantly.

Even after that sharp clarity faded, a refreshing feeling remained, making him want to keep drinking it.

“Wait, how much are you selling this for?”

“The ingredients for this are pretty rare, so I can’t make much. After giving out samples this time, I’ll probably be able to make about five bottles a week.”

Damn, then the Yuhan Seong Party would sweep them all up, wouldn’t they?

No way, I can’t accept such tyranny.

‘I need to come to some agreement with them.’

They wouldn’t need more than a day to clear dungeons anyway.

But that aside.

“I see. Hali, when you sell these later, make sure to price them high.”

“Huh?”

“When you get sleepy in dungeons, nothing works and there’s no solution, but this seems like it would be the only answer.”

“Ah? Aha!”

Hali seemed to understand immediately and widened her eyes.

“I guess they didn’t know. Didn’t Yuhan Seong say anything?”

“Actually, this is the first time I’m showing it here, so the kids probably don’t know yet.”

At her awkward laugh, Seo Jeong-u closed his mouth for a moment.

He felt pretty good about experiencing Jin Hali’s new product before those iron-wall defense humans.

Seo Jeong-u cleared his throat and said subtly.

“Divide it into small quantities and sell it expensive. Otherwise, I think you’ll regret it later. Just based on value alone, this is S-rank.”

Perhaps because it was the first time seeing the timid Seo Jeong-u speak so actively, Hali opened her mouth wide before nodding.

“Oho. Is that so?”

“If you sell it cheap, you might have to keep selling it cheap in the future, you know? So, okay?”

“Got it, got it. I’ll think about it, so calm down.”

“Right. Though, giving this away for free like this is also risky.”

“If it’s that valuable. I’ll try giving other potions as freebies instead.”

Jeong-u nodded happily, praising himself for rushing over right at opening time.

Now that his lifesaver was safe(?), there was nothing more to do.

So he was about to leave when Hali suddenly grabbed him.

“Ah, get some healing before you go.”

Huh?

Jeong-u tilted his head at being told to receive healing when he wasn’t even injured.

And a moment later.

He realized.

That Hali’s potions were merely pale imitations compared to her healing.
