I Became the Rankers’ Number One Pick

“Ms. Park Seo-ah?”

“Uh…”

A man with dark brown hair and soft features handed her a fluffy towel, which she received with a bewildered expression.

‘Who is he? I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere.’

Perhaps sensing her thoughts, he introduced himself first, “Hello, my name is Song Jin-ho.

“Ah!”

He was both an A-class healer and one of the stars of the Sun Guild.

There was Yoo Ji-an, but he rarely appeared on broadcasts, being the uniquely apathetic man that he was.

On the other hand, Song Jin-ho’s comfortable personality and the impression of gentleness that he possessed, he was the ideal person to promote their guild. Thanks to that, he was also the most famous among A-class hunters.

“Hello, what brings you here?”

It must have been his considerable power that refreshed her with a single touch.

“Instructor Kim Cheol-doo asked me to teach you.” He smiled warmly, blindingly.

Seo-ah rubbed her eyes and wiped her forehead and neck with the towel, embarrassed to be so sweaty in front of such a handsome man.

“Oh, let me wash up first…”

“Yes, of course, I don’t mean to make you hurry. I’ll be waiting at the café on the first floor.”

Seo-ah lowered her head slightly and walked to the shower room, Song Jin-ho looking closely from behind.

‘Hm, there doesn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary about her.’

She was unaware of it, but she was already a celebrity within the Sun Guild.

First, Han Seok-hyun himself ordered Instructor Kim Cheol-doo to be in charge of training the E-class healer he brought. Another thing was that she had a sincere attitude and rapid growth. The many trainees who saw her spread the word amongst themselves.

Song Jin-ho had already heard the rumors when Kim Cheol-doo came to ask for assistance regarding her training.

He sat on the terrace of the café as he waited.

She appeared not long after with damp hair.

Park Seo-ah had long, dark brown hair and a pretty face. At first glance, she looked fragile.

Why did the guild leader care about her?

“You must have waited for a long time?”

“No, you arrived earlier than expected. What would you like to have?”

“Well, I… A caramel latte, please.”

Song Jin-ho went to the counter and came back with two drinks.

She said her thanks and rummaged through her pockets, pulling out a 5,000-won bill.

For reference, the price of a caramel latte was 5,200 won.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have 100-won bills. Can I pay you back next time?”

“Uh…” He smiled, mildly embarrassed, as he looked at the banknote and Seo-ah’s face alternately. “Ahaha… It’s okay, I’ll lend you the 200 won.”

“Thank you, Mr. Song Jin-ho.”

He had never seen such a polite person in his life. Others may have thought such deference to be pathetic, but it left a good impression on him. Hunters were very often mannerless folk.

“Instructor Kim Cheol-doo gave me a brief explanation of your situation, and I think I can teach you how to use your healing skills. If you have any questions, please just ask me. I’ll tell you what I know.”

“Well, first…”

What she was really curious about was what a supporter was, but she knew she couldn’t bring that up right away. As a result, she first asked about ‘Recovery’ because she had to work as a healer while she unlocked her other skills and capabilities.

“When the situation is urgent, you should go ahead and just use it, but when possible, it would be better to make some adjustments to save mana. Here, I’ll show you.”

A faint light emanated from Song Jin-ho’s palm. When he put his hand lightly on Seo-ah’s wrist, she felt the refreshing sensation from earlier once more. She didn’t have any injuries, so there was no actual “healing”, so to speak, but her condition itself seemed to have improved.

“When not adjusted, the skill is applied to the whole body. Once you narrow the scope down like this…”

“How do you do that?”

“All you have to do is be conscious of the area you want to focus on—it will take some training to get used to, though.”

The light from his palm faded, and the pleasant feeling wrapped around Seo-ah’s body disappeared, replaced by the sensation of applying a cooling patch on her wrist. The area decreased, but the intensity increased.
