Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 209

Boom!

Su-ho arrived at Cham Sarang Hospital in his car.

Upon arrival, there was a different security guard at the entrance compared to earlier in the day.

This time, he didn’t alter his face.

If the guard tried to stop him, he’d just pull out his government ID.

However, the night guard immediately recognized Ki Jun-seo and greeted him warmly.

“Ah, Jun-seo’s here.”

“Yeah, hello, uncle.”

“Came to see your sister?”

“Yeah, to see her.”

“Well, it’s late, so try to keep it quiet.”

The night guard casually called Ki Jun-seo by his name, and they seemed to be on friendly terms.

Thanks to that, Su-ho was able to enter the hospital smoothly after exchanging a light greeting.

As they entered the lobby, Su-ho spoke.

“You seem to be well trusted. Usually, they ask who’s accompanying you.”

“Haha, I guess so.”

Normally, the security guard would ask, but not for Ki Jun-seo.

He was well-known at Cham Sarang Hospital, famous as the ‘good older brother.’

Because of that, Su-ho and Ki Jun-seo reached the 5th floor without any issues. Su-ho was able to enter Ki So-yeon’s room without using any skill or item effects, just as he was.

Ki So-yeon was asleep, having taken her medication, and Ki Jun-seo stood by her side for a moment before biting his lip and stepping back.

He lowered his voice and spoke to Su-ho.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

There was desperation in his voice.

Su-ho shook his head.

“There’s nothing you can do. From here on, it’s something I have to handle alone.”

With that, Su-ho turned his attention to Ki So-yeon.

Her pale complexion and lips devoid of color made her look like a wilting flower, as if she hadn’t seen sunlight in years.

Su-ho frowned as he looked at her.

‘High-concentration mana syndrome. That’s the disease Ki So-yeon is suffering from.’

High-concentration mana syndrome was, as the name suggested, a condition caused by the injection of high levels of mana, which harmed the Awakened’s body.

Though it wasn’t officially recognized as a medical disease, it was a kind of debuff caused by the system.

Su-ho had learned about the condition thanks to Lee Dong-woo. Since Lee Dong-woo had worked in the hospital for so long, he knew every detail about the patients.

‘Especially a VVIP patient like Ki So-yeon, he couldn’t possibly miss her condition.’

Although even ranker-level healers couldn’t diagnose this disease, Su-ho easily deduced the symptoms based on his own experiences with debuff-type diseases.

Being a regressor from the future, Su-ho had encountered these kinds of conditions many times.

Su-ho completed his preparations and immediately used the skill.

[Recovery activated.]

Fwoosh!

As the skill activated, the light from the Recovery skill enveloped Ki So-yeon.

Ki Jun-seo watched anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.

He was nervous.

He knew Su-ho’s reputation.

He knew Su-ho was a Healer.

But he also knew Su-ho was far more famous as a swordsman and combatant. He was known as a Sword Saint.

Could Su-ho really be a better healer than Seo Do-il and Moon Hye-hyun, the guild leader and deputy leader of Tamna, both renowned healers?

Seo Do-il and Moon Hye-hyun had both chosen the Cleric class during the First Awakening, a class specifically meant for healing. They were among the top 10 rankers on the Grand Chart, meaning they were some of the best healers in the country.

And yet, despite their healing abilities, they had barely kept Ki So-yeon alive.

Looking at the skill Su-ho was using, Ki Jun-seo was doubtful.

Recovery.

He had seen it used countless times. In fact, he knew just by the light that it was Recovery.

It was the same as the one used by Seo Do-il and Moon Hye-hyun.

As the light from the Recovery skill faded, Ki So-yeon remained asleep.

The room grew dark again, and Ki Jun-seo nervously asked, though he was about to speak only if Su-ho didn’t take further action.

“Is it... finished?”

“Yes, it’s done.”

“F-finished?”

“Yes, the debuff affecting your sister has been completely removed.”

Su-ho’s expression remained unreadable.

Ki So-yeon remained asleep, and it was unclear whether she had truly been cured.

Then, suddenly—

“Mmm...”

Just when Ki Jun-seo was unsure whether the treatment had worked, to his surprise, Ki So-yeon began to stir.

Ki Jun-seo quickly bent over her side.

“So-yeon, it’s me, your brother. Are you waking up?”

“...O-oppa...?”

Her eyes began to open, slowly at first. Then, they widened, and she smiled brightly.

“Really, oppa?”

“Of course, it’s me. How are you feeling? Are you okay?”

“What’s with all this? But, who’s this person next to you?”

Ki So-yeon’s question.

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

At that moment, tears began to well up in Ki Jun-seo’s eyes.

“Ha.”

“Oppa... are you crying?”

“It’s real... it’s really real... it’s true...”

Tears started to flow from Ki Jun-seo, as if a faucet had been turned on.

At the same time, he began to laugh.

He laughed while crying.

Joy.

Yes.

It was the tears of joy.

“Oppa...”
