Skill.
The act of consuming mana.
Even in ordinary actions, if you use magic power, tremendous power and effect will appear.
For example, compared to just swinging a fist, if you use magical energy to use the [Fisting] skill, you can use several times more power.
‘But having a bunch of skills doesn’t make them all strong. Even if a person with fire attribute magic talent learns water attribute magic, he will be a watering can.’
The important thing is whether the acquired skill suits one’s aptitude or can be linked with other skills.
And ‘Spraying’ is a skill that fits these two conditions perfectly.
[Spray]
[Convert the absorbed potion into energy form and spray it]
[Potion effect +30% when used]
‘Potion effect increased by 30%?’
When using [Spray], a potion that replenishes 100 HP can be used as a 130 HP potion.
‘There is no limit on the type of potion. Add 30% to any potion once you use it. Would you like to use this?’
On top of that, Kang Seung-hyun also has a skill called [Absorption].
[Absorb]
[Absorbs the potion in your hand.]
[You can store the absorbed potion in your body or use it as it is.] [Can
store up to (2) potions.]
It’s an ordinary skill that absorbs and uses the potion you hold in your hand. As it turned out, it was a precedent skill to use another skill.
To use [Spray], you first need to absorb the potion.
‘Absorption was useless because it could only be used on me, but spraying could be used on patients.’
There is only one criterion for evaluating Kang Seung-hyun’s skills. Can this be used for treatment or not?
For example, if you evaluate [Meteor Strike], which wizards evaluate as the highest level of magic, in Kang Seung-hyun’s way.
‘I want to sterilize it with heat, but the firepower is too strong, so I burn it all up. Useless for anything other than combat. 1 star out of 5.’
It’s like this. Skills that are difficult to apply to treatment are not highly evaluated no matter how powerful they are.
In that respect, [Sappo] is rated 4 stars.
‘Let’s eat and test.’
No matter how good a skill you have, if you don’t know how to use it properly, what’s the difference between not having it?
Once you have acquired a new skill, you should do a simple test before putting it into practice.
“You waited long?”
Just then, Julia came over with a tray. I was just thinking, ‘It’s time to come out soon?’
“The inn set meal you ordered is here.”
A loaf of bread to eat with stewed onion cream stew and fresh pickled vegetables.
And… one grilled chicken wing.
“Mr. Julia? I didn’t do this.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a puzzled face.
Grilled chicken wings cost an additional 5,000 gold for the inn meal. It’s so delicious that it melts in your mouth, but it’s expensive, so it’s burdensome to buy it lightly and eat it.
“It is a service. You won’t get paid for treatment.”
Julia went back to the kitchen with the words to eat deliciously. It’s a reward for treating your finger.
“Then don’t hesitate.”
After all, people have to live kindly.
Seunghyun Kang smiled as he ate the grilled chicken wings.
– After the meal, Seunghyun Kang came out of the inn.
It’s a bit early to start the day, but you have to be diligent to survive on the Azul Continent.
‘Let’s see.’
Seunghyun Kang looked around. I see people about to leave or people entering the village.
“What kind of monsters only appear in the morning?”
“It can’t be helped. I beg you to hold on to me.”
If there are adventurers who go to catch monsters.
“This job was pretty good, wasn’t it? How much do we get?”
“I don’t know man. I’m going to die of sleep…”
There were also adventurers who returned after completing the request.
Seunghyun Kang watched the people passing by and settled down in a suitable place.
‘First, prepare any potion.’
Seunghyun Kang took out a health potion from his inventory.
At first glance, the potion bottle looks like glass, but it’s actually a synthetic material made using magic. So it doesn’t matter if you eat it.
‘Use [Absorption].’
Kang Seung-hyun grabbed the stamina potion with his left hand.
Great!
As the broken potion bottle disappeared, red liquid flowed from Seunghyun Kang’s hand. When the
[Absorption]
skill was activated, every drop of red liquid was absorbed.
‘Then [Spray].’
Kang Seung-hyun spread his right hand. A red aura of the same color as the health potion erupted. As I waved my hand, a red aura spread like mist.
‘Is this okay?’
Kang Seung-hyun smiled with a satisfied face.
There are useful things, but the skill production was good. It was because none of the skills he had acquired so far had such a splendid production.
‘It’s kind of like a skill now.’
A profound red aura that seems to have something at first glance. In fact, it is a health potion with an additional 30% effect.
‘It looks much better than just pouring potions. Would the patients like it?’
Kang Seung-hyeon used spray again with a satisfied face.
[Spraying]
I waved my hand without thinking, and a red aura hit the passing adventurer.
“Ooh wow!!!”
“ah.”
The adventurer screamed in surprise when he saw the red aura. I was so surprised that I stumbled and fell backwards.
“This… you son of a bitch! What are you doing!”
The adventurer hurriedly stood up and drew out his sword. It seems that he mistook [Spray] for an attack skill.
“sorry. I didn’t mean to surprise you.”
“Is it okay if I apologize? Pay for the treatment!”
“Instead, your physical strength has been restored. Let’s fight with it.”
“what?”
Only then did the adventurer examine his body.
No injuries, no visible problems. Above all, the stamina that had been cut off was filled.
“Huh huh?”
“Am I right?”
The adventurer examined his body and asked in a bewildered voice.
“Hey, are you a healer?”
“yes. Healer is right.”
Heal is a wild healer who doesn’t know how to use it.
Kang Seung-hyun nodded, and the adventurer lowered his head with a very apologetic face.
“Oh, I’m sorry! He also restored his physical strength, but I couldn’t recognize Healer…”
“It could be.”
What kind of healer would emit a red aura? That’s something only wild healers can do.
“Aren’t you taking the money? Ha ha ha…”
“No what. I just did it out of favor. Never mind.”
“oh my god.”
I was spraying it on the street anyway. It won’t hurt if someone picks it up and restores it.
“He did it without paying for physical strength… I didn’t know there was such a person!”
It was only a cheap stamina potion sold at a store, but the adventurer was very grateful.
“What is the Azul Continent, isn’t it? There are people like this and there are people like that.”
There are healers who are good at healing, and there are healers who do not know how to heal.
“I thought someone had fired the fireball because it suddenly attacked me?”
“I hear that a lot.”
I tried it for the first time today.
“I was a bit surprised because it was a skill I had never seen before. ha ha ha Healers have that skill too. I didn’t know that I was a country boy!”
‘There must be many people other than you who don’t know.’
Kang Seung-hyun moderately responded to the adventurer’s words.
‘Because even the priests of the Ayver Church won’t know about this.’
Among the skills drawn from roulette, there are many rare skills that only dimension movers can acquire.
“This is also meant to be, do you have any plans to come to a party?”
“An adventurer’s party?”
“yes. Just one seat is empty!”
The adventurer smiled and spoke.
‘It’s an adventurer’s party…’
Since Kang Seung-hyun is not an official healer, he cannot participate in the party looking for a healer. I wouldn’t know if I was invited in this way.
‘I still have nothing to do. Shall I follow you?’
The [Spraying] skill test is over. It wouldn’t hurt to use it in practice.
Seunghyun Kang nodded and said.
“It’s good. But I have work to do, so long-term commissions are difficult. If it’s a short-term request, I’ll go.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, no problem. You know Dentroll Forest ahead of me, right?”
“I know.”
Dentroll Forest.
This is the area connected to the northern entrance of Hind Village. The forest is quite large and the trees are densely packed, so monsters are swarming even in broad daylight.
“It’s not that far, it’s so close. It’s right in front of you.”
“Will it be over today at the earliest? It will be finished in two days at the latest!”
“What is the content of the request? Monster hunting?”
Dentroll Forest is a monster-infested area, so the probability of a monster hunting quest is 99%.
“yes. It’s a monster hunt!”
It was also a monster hunting quest. With that, as the adventurer said, it could be finished in no time. All you have to do is defeat the monster and show the evidence.
“To be more precise… it’s a request that a rare monster appeared in Gdentrol Forest.”
rare monster.
It looks similar to a normal monster, but is a slightly stronger and more violent mutant monster. In a word, an enhanced version. Its body is also larger than that of normal monsters.
“It might break into the village, so please get rid of it before that. The reward is 1.2 million gold.”
“1.2 million.”
“They said they bet a lot that it would be nice to treat them quickly.”
At first glance, it looks like a lot, but it is not that each person receives 1.2 million gold.
‘Because I have to share that with the other team members.’
Rewards vary depending on the party, but are usually divided equally or according to skill.
In any case, it meant that I couldn’t eat all 1.2 million gold alone.
“How many people are there in the party?”
“If Healer comes along, there are four of us. Our party divides the reward equally to everyone…”
So, the gold that will fall to Kang Seung-hyun’s share is 300,000. Even if you divide it into quarters, this is fine.
“300,000 gold… I will.”
“yes! welcome. Healer!”
Kang Seung-hyun accepted the party offer.
-“First of all, go to the Adventurer’s Guild and introduce Healer to the other colleagues… Ah, what’s your name?”
The two of them briefly introduced themselves on the way.
“This is Kang Seung-hyun. You can just call me healer.”
“Your name is unique. Are you from the South?”
Azul Continent is largely divided into East, West, South and North. I heard that people from the South have a lot of black hair.
For reference, Hind Village is in the western region.
“yes. I am from the south.”
Since Kang Seung-hyun is a South Korean, it was not wrong.
“My name is Aelik, but please just call me Rick.”
“Then I’ll call you Mr. Rick. Doesn’t it matter?”
“As you like.”
As we walked and chatted, we arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.
Adventurer Guild.
It is a group that is as close to the church as it provides work, receives commissions, and receives commissions at the same time.
‘But without the combination, the adventurers would have starved to death and the monsters would have run amok.’
From that point of view, it is an important facility. It is responsible for the security of the village and provides food and lodging.
Of course, it’s worse than the inn, so I don’t use it well.
“welcome.”
When I opened the door and entered, the receptionist greeted me. The two greeted each other lightly and headed inside.
“Our comrades… oh, they’re over there. excuse me!”
Three men were standing where Rick pointed. Not two, but three.
“…Because there are four of them all together? Together with Rick, there are five.”
“They are both my friends. I don’t know who the other one is.”
“It must be a healer.”
“Hey Healer?”
Apparently, Rick’s colleagues brought a healer. Not a wild healer who can’t heal, but a real healer.
