Doctor Player Chapter 17
“They were arranged that way on purpose.”
“yes?”
A sharp-looking middle-aged man from the top seat in the conference room opened his mouth.
“I saw the data on Sir Raymond. He healed several difficult patients using ancient mysticism. I thought that to properly evaluate him, he could not be a normal patient.”
“still…You seem to be a very difficult patient.”
“you’re right.”
The examiners spoke unanimously.
“If we assign this patient, he will fail without taking the test.”
“The dropout is clear.”
leaving out!
Terrifying words came out.
“Certainly you can’t cure it. Then the rules have no choice but to disqualify him.”
The promotion test is divided into two stages.
Heal’s strength is evaluated first and tested to treat patients who fit the grade.
If you fail to treat a patient according to the grade, you will be disqualified because you are still immature in handling heels.
“If that happens, there is nothing you can do about it. I have no choice but to disqualify.”
“Count?”
At the cynical voice, the examiners widened their eyes.
middle-aged male.
Earl Garinson, who is one of the top executives of the Healing Tower Houston Kingdom branch and has considerable influence in the political world, said as if he would not allow any further objections.
“Anyway, know that and proceed.”
When Earl Garinson said that, the examiners had no choice but to nod and retreat.
Left alone, Earl Garinson murmured quietly.
“Funny. On the subject of dirty illegitimate children.”
It was a voice of contempt.
There was a reason he showed such contempt for Raymond.
It was because of his cousin, the 4th Queen.
As the biological mother of the 4th prince, Seytil, she was particularly jealous and despised and hated Raymond, who was born out of wedlock.
‘Again, he asked me to make sure that filthy bastard failed the test.’
Earl Garinson thought nothing of it.
‘It’s nothing to get that guy eliminated. Although Count August is a bit uncomfortable.’
Earl Garinson also knows that Earl August, a great southern aristocrat, became Raymond’s patron.
‘Still, I can’t say anything. The Healer’s exam is only within the realm of the Tower of Healing.’
In other fields, Count Garinson’s authority in the Tower of Healing was absolute.
Even Count August had no authority to say what was going on inside the Tower of Healing.
‘There’s nothing wrong with making the exam ‘somewhat’ difficult.’
Earl Garinson laughed bitterly.
‘As long as this body is in the Tower of Healing, you Raymond will never become a healer.’

Meanwhile, the other examiners who left the conference room shook their heads.
“It seems that Count Garinson has made up his mind. Assigning such a difficult patient to a promotion test?”
“Don’t you know why?”
“Let’s pretend we don’t know. It’s troublesome for people like us to get caught up in the affairs of high-ranking people.”
The examiners decided to pretend they didn’t know.
“Anyway, I feel sorry for Sir Raymond. But after hearing the anecdote about when he saved the princess, he seems like a therapist who cares about his patients in his own way.”
“Have you been an apprentice for five years? I’ve waited so long, but I’ll never pass.”
They clicked their tongues.
However, an examiner who was deep in thought asked a strange question.
“What if Sir Raymond treats the patient?”
“huh?”
“I was wondering how to rate it.”
To that question, the examiners were silent.
The grade of the healer is determined by comprehensively considering the strength of the heal and the ability to treat the actual patient.
Usually, there is no big difference, so it is often graded similar to the strength of the heel, but what about this case?
“I heard that the healing power is below F grade…What if a B+ grade therapist treats a patient who couldn’t? What grade should I give?”
The other examiner gave a chuckle.
“You are worrying too much. There is no way you can treat ‘the patient’?”
“If you have time to worry about that, think about what you’re going to eat for lunch today.”
“but…There is no way you can treat ‘the patient’.”
The examiner who first brought up the question also nodded, assuming that he had a meaningless idea.
“Let’s go get something to eat.”
Time passed, and the day of the exam came.
* * *
There were two towers on the continent.
It was the ‘Magic Tower’, the headquarters of magicians, and the ‘Tower of Healing’, the hometown of healers.
In the case of the Free Cities Union or the Holy Kingdom of the Iron Empire in a faraway place, the story is a little different, but all the healers active in the Crusader Alliance Empire belonged to the Tower of Healing.
Therefore, the place of the promotion test was, of course, the Kingdom branch of the Tower of Healing.
Raymond sat in the waiting room, waiting his turn with the other apprentices.
‘Is that the famous person?
‘You saved the princess?’
‘The Shadow Prince?’
Raymond was a famous figure in many ways.
The illegitimate son of the king’s wife.
A late-year failure student with healing power that is not even F grade.
However, he suddenly saved the life of the princess.
Most therapists dismissed what he did that day as a mystery of overlapping luck and did not appreciate Raymond’s skills, but he gained fame anyway.
The apprentices glanced at Raymond because they couldn’t help but pay attention.
‘But how… …Doesn’t it seem like there’s nothing to do?’
‘Isn’t that nervous?’
‘Is it true that I saved the princess?’
What he looked like was handsome.
Mysterious emerald eyes in a delicate appearance.
But there was a lot of tension on his face.
In fact, Raymond was in a very nervous state.
pounding. pounding.
‘Oh my heart. stop and stay still Why are you falling like this?’
Raymond sighed inwardly.
But the heart did not sink easily.
In fact, it was natural.
It’s a test that I’ve been waiting for 5 years. If he fell from here, he had to start over again as an apprentice.
I wasn’t originally a bold personality, and I didn’t have the ability not to tremble in a situation like this.
‘Let’s think differently. If you stick around and become a therapist, you’ll make a lot of money. So, you should eat delicious food every day. I’ll eliminate vegetable soup from my diet forever.’
vegetable soup.
It was the main menu of the apprentice diet, and it was Raymond’s least favorite food.
‘Delicious steak. relief. sirloin. skirt meat. Imagine. taste it. Dessert is the highest quality ice cream made frozen with ice magic. When I think of this fun, my tension is relieved… …Not long, but horny.’
Raymond let out a curse.
Even thinking about it didn’t relieve my tension at all.
‘Damn, what if it really falls?’
You must pass the exam to become a therapist.
That’s why I became rich and didn’t get ignored by others… …and….
‘I want to see patients too.’
Raymond was slightly taken aback by the thought that came to him unconsciously.
– I want to see the patient.
Frankly, he chose the path of a therapist because he wanted to succeed.
It was because it was the only way for him to display his abilities as a humble illegitimate child.
There were only three ways for an illegitimate child to succeed socially.
Wizard.
Healer (Healer).
mercenary.
Only these three occupations did not discriminate between the nobles and the poor.
So, as soon as I woke up, I chose the path of a healer without looking back.
‘I didn’t know at the time that my heel talent would be so lacking.’
Anyway, the path of a healer chosen out of secular greed. To be honest, I didn’t have a grandiose mind for patients.
But lately, a different mind has sprouted little by little.
‘thank you sir.’
‘Thanks to that, I’ve gotten better.’
It was a pleasure to see the patients.
Especially when saving a patient with hematemesis. when you rescued the princess. When Klein was saved.
The overwhelming feeling of reviving a dying patient could not be described in words.
‘…It would be more difficult to feel this feeling if I failed.’
It was a lip-biting moment.
Suddenly a message popped up.
[A heart of steel is expressed in the heart of the patient!]
[Has a will and a strong will like steel!]
‘… …huh?’
I widened my eyes at the unexpected message.
Suddenly, my heart felt more at ease.
The fear turned into moderate tension, and I naturally relaxed.
‘Is the heart of steel expressed in this way?’
It was a new discovery.
Even if it wasn’t necessarily while treating the patient, it seemed to be manifested in any situation related to the patient.
It was fortunate anyway.
In this state, it seemed that there would be nothing that would prevent me from showing my skills due to tension.
Raymond’s change was also felt by other apprentices around him.
‘hmm?’
‘Didn’t the atmosphere suddenly change?’
It wasn’t the greasy feeling I had before.
Her calm face, which had the right amount of composure, didn’t have the slightest hint of ugliness.
Suddenly, it felt as if Raymond was not an illegitimate son, but rather a prince of a noble family.
‘Did he even control his mind?’
‘How can you control your emotions like that? He looked very nervous just before.’
‘Even if it’s an illegitimate child, is the king’s lineage the king’s lineage?’
It was a time when the apprentices admired inwardly.
It was Raymond’s turn.
“Sir Raymond. Please come in.”
“All right.”
Raymond got up and followed the examiner.
Sigh.
Upon opening the door, a large room appeared.
It was like a courtroom.
The person taking the test stood below, like a criminal being interrogated, and the judges looked down from above like judges who made judgments.
“Raymond. Healing power below grade F. Is that correct?”
“you’re right.”
Raymond nodded.
A sneer passed across the faces of several examiners.
They talked like they were in trouble.
“Below the F grade. I don’t know how to look at this.”
“That’s right. It would be embarrassing to even call it a healing power below F grade.”
If it was the original Raymond, he would have froze just by being criticized like this.
But not now.
[The heart of steel is manifesting!]
[Maintaining immobility with a strong wick!]
I was able to pass it calmly without any blows.
As Raymond stood undisturbed, some judges stood out.
Even in the midst of such pressure, his calm appearance was very impressive.
‘You’re not nervous at all.’
‘Even those who are strong enough can’t hide their tension in this test.’
‘Is it also the lineage of the king?’
