âMy healing power is B+. It is a high-level heal, but there are many patients who cannot be treated with these heals. For me, I want to go beyond âDouble Aâ, âTriple Aâ, âSâ, and âSSS-levelâ. I want to become the best healer on the continent beyond âSSS classâ and treat all patients.â
Raymond looked surprised.
The best healer on the continent!
Of course, their reasons were completely different.
âWell, I want to enjoy wealth and fame.â
âAnd thereâs another reason.â
âWhat is it?â
âI also want to work with a healer who cares about his patients.â
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Raymond.
Her eyes were clear and deep as if he could see through everything in the world.
âWhen I solved the misunderstanding about your treatment, I had a question. Why do patients like you so much? Why do your disciples have such deep respect to you? All because you think deeply of your patients.â
Raymond shuts up.
Whatâs the point of having clear and deep eyes?
She had a blind eye for people.
âDidnât you consider medicineâŚâŚ to be a strange thing?â
âItâs okay to be weird treatment. As long as it helps the patient.â
Raymond looked troubled.
It was an admirable reason, but it was still difficult to accept her as a pupil.
âThe Penin Treatment Center is not financially sufficient to hire such a good healer like the princess.â Then Raymond nailed it.
âEven if you come in, I can barely pay you!â
No pay!
It meant not to come, but it was a story that wouldnât even work for Christine.
âI donât care about money.â
â.âŚ.â
Raymond groaned.
As expected, the princess from the rich family was strong.
âWhat excuse should I use to kick her out?â
Then, Christine said.
âIf money is a problem, I can pay for my education.â
ââŚâŚeducation expenses?â
âYes, will it be 500 pence a month for the professorâs private tuition enough?â
ââŚâŚ!â
Raymondâs eyes widened.
500 pence a month!
It was too much money to refuse recklessly.
Moreover, Raymond gets another healer as a disciple, making him level up faster that will also have to pay 500 pence a month.
âIf you think about it, would it be okay since she has the status of a princess? Would it mean that the Duke is pro to medicine as well? Patients would realize this, and itâll be good for my sales.â
Is it the power of money?
A number of positive ideas came to Raymondâs mind.
âHmmm, Iâm not necessarily doing this for moneyâŚâŚ.â
âIf itâs not enough, Iâll give 600 pence.â
ââŚâŚ!â
Raymond was silent.
Christine, who misunderstood his silence, waved her hand.
âIâm sorry if youâre offended. Just in case it helps. Letâs say there was no education feeâŚâŚ.â
â700 pence.â
ââŚWhat?â
â700 pence⌠Are you alright with that?â
ââŚâŚOh, yes.â
It was a dazed moment to answer.
Raymond snapped her hand.
âWelcome to the family of Penin Treatment Center, Prince-âŚâŚ No, my student. Letâs have a beef dinner thatâs good for immunity.â
Thatâs how Christine became Raymondâs âprecious pupilâ.
Having money was the best indeed.
***
Then there were other characters talking about Raymond.
In a magnificent castle.
King Oden and Chancellor Galman, two of the highest men in the kingdom of Houston.
âWe caught the tail of those who spread the plague in the Bay Area. Baron Peninâs prediction was correct too.â Chancellor Galman spoke heavily.
âIt appears to be the work of the Droughton Kingdom.â
That kingdom!
It is the arch-enemy of the kingdom of Houston. They were also the culprits of the last epidemic.
It was highly likely that they were responsible for the assassination of Oden as well.
âIf it wasnât for Raymond, I donât know how much trouble we would have been in.â
Chancellor Galman shook his head.
If it wasnât for Raymond, the epidemic would have had terrible consequences.
âWhat would you do with the Droughtons?â
âWe havenât secured enough evidence yet, so bury it for now. Donât show that weâve noticed.â Oden said quietly.
âIf we stay still, they will definitely move again. Then I will secure enough evidence and put them in the gutter.â
Archduke Berard.
He controls the kingdom of Droughton behind the scenes on behalf of the young king of Droughton.
He was also the one who led the plot.
âIâm worried about the future.â Galman sighed inwardly.
As with these events, the movement of the Kingdom of Droughton was unusual.
âThe tension at the border is also rising, so we have to prepare for the worst.â
The worst situation.
It means war.
Galman, of course, desperately wanted it not to happen.
âAnyway, thanks to Baron Penin, I was able to confirm that it was the work of the Kingdom of Droughton. Would you like to give him an additional award?â
âThe situation is not over yet. Itâs too early to give a prize.â
âIt is not wrong.â, Galman nodded.
But Oden said something unexpected.
âHowever, we can at least give him an unofficial award. But this ball is not to small to move on without any prize.â
âThen?â
Oden looked out of the window.
At the northwest of the capital.
It was the place where the Penin Treatment Center was located.
âIâll stop by the Penin Treatment Center soon.â
ââŚâŚ!â
Galman looked surprised.
It was the first time Orden asked to go to Raymondâs treatment center.
âLetâs visit in person and see if thereâs anything he needs help with. Baron Penin would prefer an award for the patients more than any other.â
***
Meanwhile, at Maple Treatment Center.
Baron Canton was huffing and puffing as he ranged in anger.
âDamn it!â
After the last incident, patients were flocking to the Penin Treatment Center.
Previously, it was only intrusive and had not been a real threat. But now, it was enough to hurt Maple Treatment Center.
In particular, Princess Christineâs decision to transfer was a fatal blow.
âDonât gp, princess! Please think again!â
He tried desperately to stop her, but it didnât work.
Christine didnât have any affection for Maple Treatment Center in the first place.
Far from affection, she left without any hesitation because she was disillusioned.
âYou impostor! How can you mislead people with such nonsense? Bring back Pierre!â
âYes!â
After the servant ran away, Baron Canton murmured with withering eyes.
âNot like this. Never.â
Soon Pierce came in.
âCall the actor.â
âDo you mean the actor?â
Pierre was startled.
Actor.
They were underworld figures who they used to play the meanest tricks.
âAre you going to write the plan?â
âYes.â
âIâve never had the actor step forward and fail. This time is the end.â Pierre thought to himself.
A plan told by Baron Canton.
It was the worst despicable method that any treatment center could not endure and went bankrupt.
Baron Canton murmured gloomily.
âThis is also the last time, Raymond, to be elated. Soon youâll shed blood tears.â
***
At that time, Raymond was having a fruitful and rewarding time, unlike the fuming Baron Canton.
Once the patients flooded inâŚ
âHuh! Iâm going to be rich soon!â Raymondâs face was filled with laughter.
His disciples shook their heads when they saw him.
âYou must be having a hard time with patients, but you always smile. As expected, master. When can I have that mind?â It was Lindon.
Hanson said consolingly.
âIâll be able to catch up with you at least. Letâs cheer up.â
âYes, Hanson! I wonât give up and try!â
Meanwhile, Christine.
âHow can you always be so happy looking at the patient?âShe bit her lips tightly.
The medicine experienced for a few days was a treatment with infinite potential.
She made up my mind to learn seriously.
But there was a problem.
While looking at Raymond, her pride was shaken.
She was confident that her heart for the patient was second to none.
But when she saw Raymond, she thought that maybe her heart wasnât big enough after all.
Raymond was happy to see the patients beyond simply caring for them.
âI canât lose.â
She was a self-respecting person.
She volunteered to experience medicine, but she did not recognize him as her âtrue masterâ deep down.
Rather, he was considered a âcompetitorâ.
Just as she has surpassed all her teachers who had ever taught her.
âIâll never lose. Even if the other person is a master.â
She wanted to be the best in both her skills and her heart for the patients.
So Christine was determined to kill herself and looked at the patients with more care.
And finally, Lao.
ââŚâŚWhy do I think that my older brother is joyous because he is making tons of money?â
He was confused, caressing his one-eyed glasses.
His keen intuition, who served as the head of the academy, kept questioning Raymondâs intentions.
Maybe everyone was being fooled?
âAgain! Here we go again, Lao! I canât believe youâre so jealous of your older brother again! It seems a little strange that his smile on the patients is too thick, but itâs your illusion! Get a grip!â
Lao was also ashamed of the fact that he was jealous of his respected brother.
Anyway, that wasnât the only good thing.
[You gained more experience!]
[You gained more experience!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
The number of patients gathered, so his experience accumulated explosively!
Thanks to that, Raymond leveled up quickly.

I was already level 50!
Thanks to this, Raymondâs stat has also risen significantly compared to his previous one.
âWe all got it roughly the same. 22 for stamina, 23 for sense, and 23 for intelligence? I couldnât tell because there was no one around me to compare.
âAnyway, whatâs certain is that Iâm less tired than before, my surgical sense has become more sensitive, and my brain feels smarter.â
âThough the brain has become smarter in academic fields.â
âEven if I learn the same mathematical formula, my application skills vary widely. As if the application is different to others even if I learn the same management knowledge.â
Intellectual power was the ability of such learning.
âBut when will that filthy illegitimate title go away?â
