At the entrance of Maldora Canyon…


    *Step* *Step*


    A bloody figure wobbly made its way towards the exit with one arm gripping the other tightly. Even with the disheveled hair that covered the individual''s face, the twin mounds that rested on their chest suggested that the person was a girl. If Sato were here, he would surely recognize the blond e hair and blue eyes which were the most noticeable feature of the injureddy. She was Cecilia, the youngdy that had been chasing after Sato''s life.


    After Cecilia had lost track of Sato, she was confronted by a previous nemesis of hers. The confrontation between the two led to a devastating fight that had rocked the region of Maldora Canyons they were at. Due to the ferocious intensity of the battle, the duo had been severely injured to the point that a crippled body part wasmon in them both and the least of the injuries. However, Cecilia had managed to sustain the least damages as unlike her rival, she was able to remain conscious and find her way to the exit despite the series of onughts from the beasts that came her way.


    ''I need to get out of here fast.'' Cecilia thought as she dragged herself to escape.


    Currently, her life was in jeopardy so not only could she not pursue Sato any longer, but she had to dy thepletion of her mission till she was back to peak condition. Unknown to the yer popce as well as the NPCs in the province, this was a good thing.


    . . .


    "Looking for a level 13 MT! nning on raiding the dungeon, [Amber Cave]. Rewards would b split based on contribution."


    "Level 13 long-range yer needed. Preferably a [Ranger] but an [Elementalist] wouldn''t hurt."


    Even though the acimed North district, especially the North gate, was the wild area of the city due to its proximity to the kingdom''s borders, the presence of the military barracks made it seem otherwise. The only change to the former peace and tranquility here was the presence of yers who were either hawking their items or scouring for new party members and teammates.


    The existence of the dungeons made it easier for yers to level up and also gain resources but to do so, one would require the necessary power to pull it off. With the firstpletion race pretty much done and dusted, most guilds didn''t put in much effort into dungeons apart from those whose dungeons had yet to be cleared for the first time.


    Even though quite a few dungeons had been cleared by now, they were in the minority, with the other guilds still struggling toplete theirs.


    It was a well-known rumour that clearing a dungeon for the first time would reward more loot than normal so none of these guilds were willing to give up the opportunity. At the same time, some yers even became more daring to try and grab this fat piece of meat from the hands of the guilds.


    "So, we are here to look for a healer huh?" Fudo asked as he walked alongside Sato.


    "Don''t tell me we would start yelling for teammates like these guys?"


    Sato didn''t reply to him but nced at the yers going about with their actions.


    While it was true that they could do things just like the others and yell for a healer, Sato didn''t want just any yer to join the team. Even though the healer would be taking the role temporarily, it would be good if the individual had good skills and wouldn''t drag the team behind. Hence, Sato couldn''t just let any Tom, Dick, or Harry take on the role for the team.


    One of the easiest ways of confirming a yer''s abilities was by their level. The higher a yer''s level, the greater the chances that he or she was a pro. However, it wasn''t a perfect system to gauge one''s strength so Sato didn''t necessarily want to rely on it alone. But at the same time, he needed a healer with a high enough level so that the yer''s skills would have a better effect on the team.


    "Let''s go back to the hospital." Sato suddenly said as he turned around.


    "Huh?"


    It took the duo about 10-15 minutes to go to the hospital where Sato had left La, but unlike what Fudo had guessed, it wasn''t to check up on the NPC.


    Infinite Realm was a game that added realistic mechanics and fundamentals into a world of fantasy. Just like how a mage would be better in Rune-smithing than a physical ss yer, Sato suspected that a healer would be suitable for the subss, [Doctor]. Normally, this upation was upied by Alchemist and Apothecarists but Sato believed that it won''t be impossible for a cleric to do so. After all, the ss was centered on healing and what better ce was there to work on one''s proficiency than the hospital.


    Of course, Sato figuring this out didn''t mean that everyone else would, but Sato wanted to believe that at least one yer would.


    Unlike most other sses, Healers -especially Clerics- levelled up differently from others. While most yers did so by defeating monsters, Clerics levelled up by healing living creatures. This made it possible for them to even level up off battles. As for the perfect spot to find injured individuals to farm experience points with, the hospital was no doubt the best and safest option.


    There were two advantages to looking for a healer here. The first was that the yer here would definitely not be stupid. Not everyone was like Sato who easily realized a hidden feature of the hospitals in the game. Anyone who did would surely be a pro as well as a creative yer. Having such a character in the team would mean that they wouldn''t need to worry about he/she all the time as the person would hardly make any mistakes.


    Also, since hospitals were very conducive to healers, the target would surely not be low-levelled.


    "Let''s spread out. Once you spot a yer in doctor''s attire, alert me." Sato informed Fudo.


    "Alright."
