8.

The Armed Forces Capital Hospital was busy.

Dr. Baek Min-ho is even more so.

“Mr. Baek, are you available for treatment today?”

“No.”

The new doctor holding the record book scratched his head.

She checked the nameplate again, wondering if she had come to the wrong place.

[Resident Baek Min-ho]

– Awakening and Expertise –

“Bae, is that Mr. Baek?”

“Okay.”

“I need to see a doctor now.”

The doctor’s voice trembled.

“No.”

Baek Min-ho glared at the military doctor.

The body leaning against the backrest fell backwards.

Baek Min-ho nodded his head as if to tell me.

“That’s it, check once to see if the patient has a problem with sexual function······.”

“Tell them to send you to a university hospital. What kind of sailor is this talking nonsense?”

“It has to be you, teacher. You’re being so stubborn. You have to check it out right now.”

The doctor swallowed dry saliva.

“Is everyone else absent today except me?”

“No.”

Baek Min-ho let out a low-pitched whine.

He checks the desk clock.

The tsk-tsk sound could even be heard by the military doctor.

“Fuck, it’s on time.”

On time?

The doctor reviewed the schedule.

Today, we only checked the VIP’s status and conducted interviews.

It must have been so urgent for Baek Min-ho that he packed his white coat and all kinds of documents and prepared to go out.

“That patient. What’s her gender?”

“Yes, female. 40s─”

“Stop.”

Baek Min-ho writing his opinion paper while waving his pen.

He quietly swallowed his teeth.

He gave instructions fiercely with a distorted face.

“Give me your identity to the military police. Give me this statement for evidence.”

“Like last time?”

“Yeah. I’ll take the time until you come… And I’ll take all the VIPs off today. I’ll treat the special room patients.”

The military doctor was struggling and was in a daze.

Baek Min-ho had dressed up neatly at some point.

He even had his beard and hair neatly trimmed.

“Don’t come near me without my permission.”

“Yes, yes! Loyalty.”

The doctor saluted after hearing the answer.

“Loyalty.”

Baek Min-ho went out grumbling.

The military doctor also quickly followed to assist Baek Min-ho.

“Who, who are you?”

Baek Min-ho was on the sky bridge.

I wasn’t alone.

I was having a secret conversation with someone.

Actually, it wasn’t even a secret meeting.

Because the sunlight was shining brightly, I could tell right away.

‘Go, Kang Mi-young!’

A military doctor, who seemed to be some kind of spy, eavesdropped on their conversation from a distance.

The same goes for several female residents and nurses.

“Thank you for coming such a long way, Major.”

Baek Min-ho approached Kang Mi-young with large strides.

He nodded briefly and handed over the documents he had brought.

“… … hundred.”

Kang Mi-young was holding on to the railing.

He nodded with a cynical expression.

“What’s your business today, counseling?”

Baek Min-ho asked about his thoughts.

“Still in good condition. It has improved considerably.”

“That’s fortunate. How many times have I almost died because of the Major’s [delusion of persecution]?”

Baek Min-ho looked at both ends of the sky bridge.

“There are a lot of eyes watching. This VIP. Your name is Lee Seong-han, right?”

Kang Mi-young felt a pang for a moment.

“Lee Seong-han. That’s right. Why are you interested in that kid… … .”

Baek Min-ho, whose eye shadows extend down to his cheekbones.

I took a sip of iced Americano.

“When it comes to love, I’m a total nerd. Is it because of my face? Or my personality? Even from my perspective, I think I’d make a lot of women cry.”

“… … Huh.”

Kang Mi-young laughed as if she was amazed.

“You’re possessed by a fox.”

Baek Min-ho placed his index finger and thumb on both eyes.

“Okay… … This time it’s not a psychiatric consultation, right?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s get to the main point.”

A red-eyed madman blocking the hallway.

Iron-blooded Empress, Kang Mi-young.

For ten days, I followed Baek Min-ho around and requested to see patients.

Now it’s the limit.

I couldn’t hide it any longer.

VIP status.

Baek Min-ho looked at Kang Mi-young and took out his phone.

Tiring-

Tiring-

“Ah, yes. Security Team Leader. It’s me, Mr. Baek. Please assign personnel here.”

Baek Min-ho chased away the flies.

Once the unmanned security team arrived, we returned to the main topic.

“First, let me add my opinion as a specialist. The patient’s condition will not improve. Without quality treatment and rest.”

He looked at the ground and shook his head in despair.

Armed Forces Capital Hospital.

Awakening and the best doctor.

Even that didn’t say perfect.

“Huh. So early treatment is impossible?”

Kang Mi-young clicked her tongue after hearing the answer.

She felt like the first button was buttoned wrong.

This means that Lee Seong-han’s condition has improved.

Didn’t this first expedition give you some research material?

Even giving me my own limbs!

I absolutely hated teasing such a talented person in the hospital room.

‘You have to take responsibility.’

Kang Mi-young spread her aura in a murderous manner.

“What is the treatment period?”

“At least one month. It’s serious and it’s hard to survive without leaving the house.”

“Can’t it be faster?”

“You fought the hatchlings, right? Are you all as strong as the hunter? Take this first.”

Baek Min-ho handed over the diagram.

X-ray images as well.

“You probably don’t know the medical terms. Just think of it as being completely destroyed from here to here.”

I marked up the X-ray image here and there with a red marker.

Lee Seonghan’s body.

Only then did Kang Mi-young’s eyes become aware of the scars.

‘It was destroyed.’

Even Kang Mi-young saw that it wasn’t normal.

It looks like a picture of a corpse.

There wasn’t a single spot that was intact, as if someone had blew it up several times.

“But wouldn’t an injury like this get better with acupuncture?”

“Hunter, you’re weird. [Steelization], [Adrenaline Stabilization] aren’t available to everyone. What about [Regeneration]? It’s a Tier 1 trait.”

Originally, Kang Mi-young had no medical knowledge.

Moreover, most injuries can be recovered through [Regeneration].

I knew a lot about monster dismantling though.

Baek Min-ho scratched his head and clicked his tongue.

“Ahahahaha. This is why dealing with hunters is so hard. Okay, let me summarize briefly······.”

Baek Min-ho glanced at the sharp attitude and calmly listed only the facts.

“Here and here. And here, do you see?”

“Internal organs and ribs.”

“That’s right.”

He roughly tore up the X-ray image. Kang Mi-young was startled by the sudden movement.

“I don’t usually use words like this, but this is completely shattered.”

“Keep going.”

Kang Mi-young’s eyes turned red.

“Wow, listen without getting angry. This is really amazing. I have never heard of a study that says humans can survive in such extreme conditions. How much worse must it have been for me to write a paper on it.”

“What is the Elixir dosage?”

“Have you ever considered giving it to me?”

Elixir.

The world’s greatest panacea.

It was a quest reward obtained while dealing with hatchlings.

Originally, it was supposed to be owned by the Hunter Management Bureau, but now it was in Kang Mi-young’s possession.

She was willing to cure the irrational with an elixir.

What if you treat Lee Seong-han?

‘You can’t make fun of a patriot like this in his sickbed.’

She was willing to take Lee Seong-han and go to the front lines.

frontmost line.

In other words, the DMZ area is still a place where fierce fighting continues.

“Well, I guess limbs and bones can be repaired.”

Baek Min-ho declared.

Even if it’s an elixir, it only shortens the time.

In the end, the meaning of being hospitalized was the same.

“It’s a miracle that I’m alive, a miracle. I’m busy. I have a lot on my plate today.”

Baek Min-ho declared so and returned to his main job.

-Baek Min-ho’s awakening. Baek Min-ho’s awakening. Please move to room 117 immediately. This is a patient call.

The broadcast is heard.

Number 117.

Capital Hospital VIP Room.

It was meant for high-ranking officers, but now it was just a private resting there.

Baek Min-ho walked leisurely down the hallway.

When I first received the patient.

He couldn’t help but be astonished.

A burst level of internal organs.

A whole broken bone.

Coma due to excessive bleeding.

At least half a year.

At best, half a year.

But it happened suddenly?

That’s ridiculous.

“Teacher. Are you here?!”

“I called you. You should come. The patient needs me. What’s the problem?”

Ward 117.

At the door, the military doctor bowed his head.

“The patient’s condition is improving.”

“If I wake up in this state, it’s going to be a big deal. I can trip on my legs while panicking. Okay, increase the sleeping pills and painkillers by 2%─”

The doctor swallowed dry saliva.

“That’s not it.”

“Huh? You didn’t call me?”

“, the patient himself.”

“You should say that first!!”

Baek Min-ho entered the hospital room in a hurry.

A first-class hospital room available only to national resource hunters.

As I entered the password, the automatic door opened smoothly.

“Mr. Lee Seong-han! Mr. Lee Seong-han?! Let me check your status. Can you hear me?”

Lee Seong-han, lying on the bed, blinked his eyes.

It seems like he still can’t control his body, so he just keeps moving his pupils around.

“What? Are you a regenerative power user?”

The military doctor was startled and checked the patient’s identity.

The Awakened were able to check their characteristics through several pieces of equipment.

Not exactly, though.

Clearly, the recorded characteristics at the time of admission did not include any abilities related to [regeneration].

Baek Min-ho intuitively noticed.

This hunter is different from others.

“Nurse! Are you a regenerative person?”

“I am not a regenerative power user.”

“Then that means you’ve awakened. Double awakening. A level that exists only in theory in the academic world!”

Baek Min-ho’s face turned pale as he continued speaking.

“Basically, traits are determined from birth. Just like holding a spoon. Like a gold spoon, a silver spoon, things like that.”

“I don’t know what that means… … .”

Baek Min-ho looked down at Lee Seong-han.

Then I pulled the microfiber comforter up to my collarbone.

“Patient, can you hear my voice?”

Gum-drenched.

Lee Seonghan’s pupils shook up and down.

“Are there grades?”

Gum-drenched. Gum-drenched.

This time, the pupil moved left and right in the opposite direction.

“Please sleep a little longer. You’ll be very busy for a while.”

You shouldn’t know any more.

Especially those who are loose-lipped.

Baek Min-ho took sleeping pills.

“How many people know this?”

A voice heard when the situation is over.

“Two residents on our side. Including the dedicated nurse and other medical staff─”

“Just call everyone from top to bottom. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, we’re screwed.”

Lee Seong-han quietly closed his eyes while listening to the doctor’s words.

[‘■■■■ Eyes (EX)’ look down at you.]

Something was woven into his body.
