I Became The Rankers’ Number One Pick [EN]: Chapter 117

117.

[Hunter ‘Yang Tae-woo’s wish is, “I wish I had just one attack skill.” Will you manifest it? Y/N]

Seo-ah swallowed hard. So, this was the reason why Yang Tae-woo was so frustrated.

In fact, Yang Tae-woo’s wish coincided with what Seo-ah felt yesterday while catching the grotesque sunflower.

Perhaps that’s why.

‘Yes.’

This time, she answered that she would manifest it without hesitation.

At that moment, a hunter limped over.

“Hunter Yang Tae-woo, please take a look here.”

“What, you got hurt already? Ugh, really! Let me see.”

Just like with Oh Hyun-soo, a sphere of light appeared on Seo-ah’s palm. Seo-ah quickly made a fist, put her hand in her pocket, and hid the light.

Fortunately, Yang Tae-woo was looking at the injured hunter and didn’t see Seo-ah.

[Touch the hunter.]

‘What happens if I touch him? Does Hunter Yang Tae-woo get an attack skill?’

If this is true, it’s truly an amazing skill. At the same time, I’m envious.

As I said before, Seo-ah desperately needed an attack skill too.

While she was hesitating, wondering what to do, Yang Tae-woo, who was treating the injured hunter, glanced at Seo-ah.

He said to Seo-ah, who was standing there blankly.

“Hey, don’t wander off too far, it’s dangerous. Or you’ll end up like that other kid…”

“Seo-ah…!”

Just then, Baek Eun-hee, who had found Park Seo-ah, rushed in from afar.

“See you later, Hunter Yang Tae-woo!”

Seo-ah passed Yang Tae-woo and approached Baek Eun-hee, lightly touching Yang Tae-woo’s shoulder with her hand.

It was a very brief moment that Yang Tae-woo didn’t even notice.

And soon, Baek Eun-hee hugged Seo-ah tightly.

“You came, you came to see me?”

Baek Eun-hee lifted Seo-ah high and spun her around before putting her down.

“Ah, uh, Sis!”

Seo-ah struggled and barely stood on the ground.

“This side is almost finished. Just wait a little bit. Let’s go eat something delicious later.”

“Yes, yes. Anything.”

Seo-ah spoke to Baek Eun-hee and glanced at Yang Tae-woo.

Yang Tae-woo, who was treating the hunter, was staring blankly into the air, and the hunter being treated waved his hand in front of his face.

“Hunter Yang Tae-woo, are you done?”

“……”

“Hunter Yang Tae-woo!”

“Oh, oh? Yeah, I’m done, so get lost.”

Yang Tae-woo waved his hand as if he was annoyed and 벌떡 [baldeok – suddenly/abruptly] stood up. And then he stared straight ahead again.

Seeing that, I could tell.

There must have been some change in him too.

While Baek Eun-hee and her group were cleaning up the surroundings, Seo-ah quickly opened the system window.

[Fairy of the Lamp] had been making notification sounds since earlier.

[Wish Granted for Hunter ‘Yang Tae-woo’: Skill ‘Reverse’]

[Would you like to save?]

‘Huh? Save?’

The system window, recognizing Seo-ah’s question as an answer, saved the skill on its own.

I was wondering what the three slots were for, but I guess this is what they were for.

Seo-ah calmed her excited heart and looked at the skill [Reverse] saved in slot 1.

‘This… can I use it? Huh? Please.’

[Reverse: Undead-type skill. The skill effect can be applied in reverse.]

“Ah…!”

This was the method Seo-ah used when she caught the Parasitic Cradle before. At that time, she fed it an item to apply the undead effect, and then had Yang Tae-woo use a healing skill on it.

If this becomes a permanent skill, you can attack with healing skills at any time.

“Wahahaha!”

Yang Tae-woo suddenly started laughing like crazy.

Seo-ah shut her mouth tightly and stared at him.

“What’s wrong? Did he eat something wrong?”

Seol Jin-ah looked at Yang Tae-woo strangely, but he just kept laughing.

“Let’s just stay still, where…”

Then suddenly, he flashed his eyes and started looking for monsters.

“Hey, don’t catch that!”

Yang Tae-woo stopped another hunter from catching it. And he muttered under his breath and reached out to the monster.

Gray smoke enveloped the monster, and at the same time, Yang Tae-woo used a healing skill.

Kyaaaaak-

The grotesque sunflower let out a short scream and disappeared.

“Ahahaha! It’s done!”

“Hey, Yang Tae-woo! What did you do?”

“I don’t know, I suddenly got a skill.”

“You got a skill? Why, how suddenly?”

At Seol Jin-ah’s voice, other hunters approached Yang Tae-woo with surprised faces. Among them were Go Geon-hoo and Baek Eun-hee.

“I really don’t know. It just suddenly appeared. I just healed this guy.”

“What kind of skill is it?”

Yang Tae-woo excitedly explained the new skill he had.

“Wow, I’m jealous.”

“I know, I didn’t even know there was a hidden skill.”

Very rarely, there were skills that awakened late, so Yang Tae-woo and the other hunters all seemed to accept it as a similar phenomenon.

“That’s great, congratulations!”

Park Seo-ah also pretended not to know and approached Yang Tae-woo to congratulate him. In fact, she was a little disappointed inside.

[Reverse] could definitely be a very good attack skill for the healer Yang Tae-woo.

Yang Tae-woo’s healing amount was among the highest among A-class healers.

But Seo-ah was still an E-class as a healer, so her healing amount wasn’t very good. So, it wasn’t really a good skill for Seo-ah.

‘Well, it’s better than nothing….’

It might be faster to beat them with a toy hammer.

Seo-ah thought it would be nice if she could replace the slot later.

While they were all chattering, Baek Eun-hee, who was watching Yang Tae-woo from one side, quietly approached Seo-ah.

“Seo-ah.”

“Yes, Sis.”

“It’s really great, right?”

“…Well, I guess so.”

Baek Eun-hee somehow looked at Seo-ah meaningfully while saying that.

Should I tell Baek Eun-hee about this ability? I thought, but Seo-ah decided to be careful.

This was a skill that was on a different level from the buff skills she had obtained earlier. It was literally a ‘wish fulfillment ticket.’

Seo-ah knew the value of this.

If it becomes known that she has this skill, Seo-ah will really not be able to return to a normal life.

She will be involuntarily famous and receive attention. Also, there will be people who try to gain Seo-ah’s favor, but there will also be people who attempt kidnapping and threats.

Fortunately, Baek Eun-hee only stared at Seo-ah and didn’t ask any further.

Thinking about it, it was like that before too. Baek Eun-hee waited until Seo-ah spoke first.

‘I’m sorry, Sis. I’ll tell you soon when I get the chance.’

Baek Eun-hee lightly patted Seo-ah’s shoulder and shouted to everyone.

“Okay, everyone. Don’t leave a single seed behind! Look through it again thoroughly!”

At her command, everyone scattered.

Seo-ah also subtly looked around and moved her body in a direction where there were fewer people.

She felt Baek Eun-hee’s gaze on her, but she tried to ignore it.

Seo-ah carefully looked around to find any remaining grotesque sunflowers. She wanted to test it out too.

Whether she could really use the [Reverse] skill that came into the slot while granting Yang Tae-woo’s wish.

But because the Royal Guild had cleaned up so thoroughly, it was hard to find.

‘Just one, please.’

If not now, Seo-ah would have to go into the gate to test it.

It was something that was so easily seen that it was stepped on, but why is it that when you try to find it, it’s not visible?

‘Dog poop is not available when you need it for medicine!’ [A Korean saying meaning something is never around when you need it.]

Just as she was anxiously searching, Seo-ah discovered a small plant sprout wriggling in a crack in the rock.

A smile spread across Seo-ah’s face.

Of course, it wasn’t an ordinary plant. A faint magic power was felt.

It seemed that it hadn’t grown properly because it had fallen on the rock.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Seo-ah approached and took a breath.

Looking at the faint sprout, she felt a sense of pity, but she shouldn’t be fooled. A monster is a monster.

If this guy is left alone, he will eventually grow, sow seeds, bloom flowers, and eat people.

Seo-ah calmly looked at the very small grotesque sunflower and recited.

“Reverse.”

Then, the same gray smoke that came out of Yang Tae-woo’s hand came out of her hand and swirled around the grotesque sunflower.

Seo-ah used a healing skill as it was.

Squeak-

The plant trembled as if it was startled. But it wasn’t dead yet. This was probably because the amount of healing from Seo-ah’s healing skill was insufficient.

[Reverse] was still in effect.

Seo-ah didn’t panic and used the healing skill one more time.

Then the small plant collapsed silently and crumbled.

‘It’s done, really!’

Seo-ah was as excited as Yang Tae-woo was earlier.

To be able to make the ability that came about while granting someone else’s wish her own.

What’s the point of only granting other people’s wishes, but it turned out to be a skill with truly endless possibilities.

Then the 100 stat points increase that she almost gave to Oh Hyun-soo yesterday could also become Seo-ah’s.

‘No, it might not be replaceable. I need to be careful.’

Seo-ah shook her head, but still covered her face with both hands at the unbelievable reality.

‘Wish… it means I just need to grant wishes.’

But if possible, with wishes that are helpful to her.

‘What’s helpful to me?’

What I want most right now is Geon-hoo’s recovery. But this was not something that could be done with a hunter’s ability.

As she thought about it, her excited heart calmed down again.

Then she heard someone behind her. When she turned around, Baek Eun-hee was approaching.

“Seo-ah, let’s go back now.”

Seo-ah nodded slightly and moved her steps with Baek Eun-hee.
