Chapter 037 Certification
…
Early morning the next day…
The beautiful figure of Sung Jisoo stood in front of a building with several students walking in and out of its entrance.
She is wearing her usual jeans and T-shirt combination and had put on a cap as Sonya told her. This is because… Sonya knew that Sung Jisoo is far too attractive to be normally walking around.
But even with this, people could still notice her tall and slender figure and her beautiful aura.
Those who have seen her would usually take a glance and show admiration on their faces.
It did not take long before two students approached her… one is tall and slim while the other one is fat and bulky.
One look and one could already tell that the two are those that usually cause trouble on the campus.
"Well, hello beautiful!... What might you be doing in this small school of ours?" the fat young fellow asked.
Jisoo looks at the two and then at the building in front of her.
"Are you two students in this school?" she asked with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Seeing her seemingly doubtful gaze, the two showed big grins on their faces.
"We might not look like it, but we are both Traditional Medicine students." The thin young man said.
"I am taking, herbology… and this… my friend here… is taking acupuncture…" the fat young man introduced.
"Hmm… You both don't look like it. Anyway, I'm looking for Professor Arnold Teng of Traditional internal medicine…" she said with a smile.
When the two heard her words, they almost took a step back.
Who in the school did not know Professor Arnold Teng… most commonly known as the crazy medicine doctor?
Those students who were unlucky enough to be taking his class would almost always suffer. He would make the students take medicine for them to know its actual taste so that they could relate to their patients.
Although it did not cause any death so far, the worst case was a student fainting.
Hence his name is synonymous with a mad doctor.
"Umm… Miss… Miss beautiful, I suggest you not go to that crazy old man… I mean, we would not want to see such a beauty as yourself… to suffer from his evil hands…" the fat young man suddenly said.
But before he could continue he noticed the beauty smiling at him.
This made him suddenly look blankly at her. He could not help but admire her smile and her beautiful eyes as his heart has already been captivated by her brilliance and attractiveness.
"Wow… beautiful…" the fat guy subconsciously muttered.
"Yeah… she really is…" the thin one also added.
While the two is in their stupor, they were suddenly jolted out of their imagination as they heard a rough voice from behind them.
"Ahem… Frankie Lin and Pog Yi… You two have the guts to call me… crazy old man. I think… I should really show you how crazy I can be…"
When the two heard that voice, how could they not recognize it?
They suddenly stiffen and their faces showed awkward smiles while tilting their heads behind them.
"Umm… Hi… Professor Teng… We… we're not talking about you… We are talking about a crazy old man we met outside! Hehe…" Pog Yi the fat guy suddenly made an excuse.
"Well, since you are here… We will be leaving then…" the thin guy called Frankie Lin suddenly turns around.
But before the two could run away, their ears were already caught by the old man behind them.
They could not help but cry in pain while wincing.
"Ahh… Young lady, we've met again…" Professor Teng greeted with a wide smile on his face while looking at Jisoo.
"Yes, I'm here to get the certificate that Doctor Pan has told you yesterday…" Jisoo said.
"Yes… Yes… of course. With your medical skill, it would be a waste if we not let you practice…" Professor Teng said with an amiable smile.
"Umm… But can I ask you a favor?" the old professor suddenly added.
"You see… Your skill is a bit unique. And right now, we are not like the old ways where people would hide their skills… The traditional medical profession in our country has already decided to adopt the ways of the west where they have spread the practice of medicine and teach them…"
"I just hope that you can also share your knowledge with others so that the future generation can also benefit from it…"
Upon hearing the old professor, Sung Jisoo frowns for a bit but then showed a hint of realization in her eyes.
She has known that in this world… although the medical practice is being restricted according to the profession and gaining certificates and schooling, they did not hide anything.
The only difference is the jargon used by the doctors in this world and one would need to study a mountain of books to be able to learn medicine.
And for this reason, the advancement of medicine in this world becomes widespread, and not only a few knew of it but the many who desires the knowledge.
In this aspect, the future generation has surpassed the selfishness of the old generation which causes their knowledge to be lost in the pages of history.
As she thinks about it, Sung Jisoo nodded her head.
Seeing that she seem to have agreed, the expression of Professor Teng became elated.
How could he not feel happy?
Yesterday, when his friend working in Vie hospital called him, he was dragged to observe a medical procedure.
He grumpily agreed and was not expecting anything.
He even wanted to shout curses when he saw that the one doing the medical procedure is actually a young woman.
But when he saw the young woman was able to directly cure a patient using just several needles, he was flabbergasted.
He then saw her mixing medicine with an inept knowledge, he was truly stunned.
She used a few tablets, crushes them, and then did something to the tablets. It was a pseudo-science that he almost could not believe his eyes.
Instead of herbs, the woman is actually using synthetic medicine which thoroughly dumbfounded him.
He knew that one wrong move with what she is doing would cause the patient's life.
He wanted to stop the procedure at that time, but he was stopped by Director Pan.
After injecting the medicine into the patient, they saw the effect in just one hour when the patient suddenly vomits a black pool of blood.
That patient was suffering from diabetes and he was one of the severe cases in the hospital.
But because of the woman, that middle-aged patient was able to recover. He even called Director Pan this morning and has learned of the great progress of the patient.
It seems that his sugar level seems to have stabilized and his diabetes was in remission.
It was truly a miracle that made him quickly realize that the woman is a legit expert. If she were to exist in ancient times, people would sure call her a divine doctor.
And because of this, he wanted her to share that knowledge of her with the students in his school. In return, he would give her the Traditional Doctor's Certificate.
But before he could feel happy, he heard Sung Jisoo ask.
"Umm… How much are you going to pay me?"
Her question is so casual that he seems to have thought he misheard something.
When he realized she is asking for the fee, he quickly shook his head to recover from his stupor.
"Oh… Umm… We can discuss that… Come with me…" he said while dragging the two troublemakers with them.
…
That afternoon, Jisoo walked back to the hospital and enters the office of Director Pan.
"Haha… So you mean that… that crafty old man asked you to be a lecturer in his school?" Eugene Pan could not help but chuckle.
"Umm… Well, I can actually know the reason why… But I'm thinking that since my skills are a bit unique, I would choose the type of students I'm going to teach…"
"Haha… Well, you are right… I think you are using mysticism, right?"
"Mysticism?"
"Magic… or maybe spiritual energy… or something?" Director Pan probed.
"Ah… Do you mean Reiki… Yes, I'm using Reiki…" Jisoo did not deny it.
"Hmm… No wonder, I can feel something slightly glowing at the tip of the needles…" Director Pan suddenly said.
When Sung Jisoo heard his words, she showed a slight astonishment in her eyes.
"You can see it?" she asked.
"Umm… I'm not sure what I saw… Hehe…"
Sung Jisoo thought for a while and then asked for a bond paper.
She suddenly bit the tip of her finger which startled Director Pan… but did not stop her.
Sung Jisoo wrote a rune symbol on the bond paper using her blood. Then she laid the bond paper on the table in front of them.
"Director Pan… Tell me what you see…" she said as she suddenly put her palm on top of the bond paper.
When Director Pan saw this he frowned and felt a bit hesitant. He thought that the young lady seem to be playing something with him.
But before he could say another word, his eyes suddenly went wide in disbelief.
"This… this… What is that?" he muttered with a trembling voice.
If a normal person could see what he is seeing right now, that person would surely faint. But for Director Pan, his heart was a bit troubled for a while, but his mind suddenly accepted the mystery in front of him. It was like he remembers those days when he was a child.
He would sometimes see something like this.
When Jisoo saw the reaction of the middle-aged man, she showed a faint smile on her face.
"I knew I was right… You have a gift. But unluckily you are already too old to develop that gift further." She said.
"A gift?" he asked in confusion.
"Yes… You can actually see… Reiki."
Upon hearing this, Director Pan did not know whether he would be happy or sad.
