Chapter 90: Frost Wolf Company
Yale could remember everyone he had met if he used the system database, but he didn’t need to use the system’s assistance to remember that girl.
There was only one young girl who had needed healing in the Outside Town, and her case was a difficult one even for Yale, so he remembered it very well.
That girl was thirteen years old, and more than sick like it seemed on the outside, she had an energy disorder provoked by making a mistake when practicing.
Few people practiced in Outside Town, so the girl caught Yale’s attention due to that. After hearing the guard’s explanation, he guessed that probably the guard’s son was the one who provided her with a training method, but the lack of someone guiding her almost ended in tragedy.
If she had a common illness, Yale could have healed her quickly as illnesses were easy to treat unless they were of some particular types.
However, an energy disorder was more problematic, Yale needed two hours to heal her completely, and that was because he had Time Healing that was good at dealing with energy problems.
That girl was the patient who needed most time and effort to heal since Yale started to act as the Silent Healer.
Yale felt that even if other elemental healers were to see her, they would still refuse to heal her even if they didn’t refuse without seeing her as they did.
Probably they would feel that the fees weren’t enough for the work as other elemental healings had difficulties treating energy issues, even if it wasn’t impossible it needed a lot of concentration, ability, and luck.
Fortunately, her energy wasn’t dispersed, in that case, only Time Healing would have worked, and Yale would have risked revealing Time Healing’s existence by healing her.
To those like the veteran guards who were able to tell that the girl had an energy disorder, the effort Yale put into treating her was incredibly valuable, it was difficult to find such dedicated healers. In the Revgen Empire healers were usually kind, but the situation was very different in the Zuatania Republic as money was the power.
A few minutes later the other guard came back and kneeled before Yale.
“I am sorry! Please forgive my previous words!”
When he went to fill the papers for Wyba’s permission to enter the city, he asked other guards about that Silent Healer his superior had mentioned before.
After hearing how everyone talked about him, he understood that he committed a big mistake. He was only a new incorporation and was in his test period, so he could even get fired and replaced quickly if an elemental healer pressed a bit, they were valued by the merchant association after all.
Obtaining a favor from an elemental healer in exchange for firing someone like him was something that his superiors wouldn’t hesitate to do.
The Zuatania Merchant Association also recruited elemental healers, but they will have too many restrictions afterward. Yale knew about that because Oscro had told him, but he didn’t like the restrictions, and their way of creating a company with Oscro seemed better to him.
The fact that elemental healers had such easy way to obtain some authority made that people avoid disrespecting them even if the elemental healer still didn’t have any support. Furthermore, those who had been healed by them would develop enmity to those who threaten the healer and no one wanted to become an object of hatred.
Yale didn’t answer to the scared man who was kneeling before him; he didn’t care about that man’s future because he tried to extort him before, but Yale wouldn’t try to find trouble with him either, because it was too troublesome.
“Thank you for your help; we will remember your kindness.”
Oscro thank the senior guard before crossing the city gates followed by Yale; he also ignored the kneeling man.
“Are you finally conscious of your acts? As a punishment, you will need to work half year for free. I won’t fire you because I am in a good mood today.”
As the senior guard had managed to become acquainted with the Silent Healer thanks to the new guard’s foolishness, he decided to not fire him.
***
Trade City was very beautiful, but Yale and Oscro didn’t spend time admiring it, both went directly to a huge building where the Zuatania Merchant Association office was situated, creating the company was their first priority.
Oscro went to a registration counter and talked with the woman that was waiting there with a bored expression on her face.
“I want to register a new company.”
There was no queue to the registration counter as few people made new companies, the woman in the counter could stay days without anyone speaking to her.
“Please fill this form and deposit the money here.”
The woman said it without any enthusiasm; she disliked such a boring job where she could be alone for days and when someone came was only to fill some papers and pay.
“Sorry, we will be two founders, this form only has space for one.”
The woman looked at Oscro who had just spoken and then at Yale. She almost didn’t notice Yale as he didn’t talk, but she quickly fixed her gaze in Wyba.
“Uh, few people want to make a company with two founders. If you want to do that, you also need to fill out this three other forms, and the other founder also needs to sign them.”
As Oscro was signing the other forms, the woman continued staring at Wyba.
“Why do you have such a cute beast on your head?”
The woman felt that Yale was too strange, he seemed serious as he didn’t speak, but having a cute beast with him was a vast contrast to that image, so she was curious, as that was something that usually she didn’t see.
Yale didn’t reply because Oscro had already prepared an answer for that situation beforehand and they wanted to retain the image of the Silent Healer.
“She is our new company’s image! Our company will be called Frost Wolf Company, so we need to have a frost wolf with us! Furthermore, isn’t she cute? She will attract a lot of customers.”
Oscro had seen how all the girls always ended looking at Yale and understood that Wyba was catching the attention of all of them. Thus, he thought of using Wyba as the company’s image as she was also famous between those who knew the Silent Healer because she was always on Yale’s head.
Yale had agreed to that name and reason; he was about to say something similar even if Oscro hadn’t spoken. Because being the company’s image would also protect Wyba as she would be valuable to the company and no one would dare to mistreat her.
The woman chuckled, she had never heard of using a cub as a company image, but she was able to imagine that it would be useful to attract women, even she herself wanted to hug the wolf cub after seeing it. She had to admit that those two youngsters had a good idea.
Oscro finished filling all the papers and Yale also signed them afterward.
The woman read the forms quickly to see if there were anything wrong, she felt that Oscro and Yale were interesting youths, so if there was anything wrong in the forms, she wanted to point it out to avoid the forms being rejected afterward.
“Main activities: trading and healing. Did you hire a healer for your company?”
The woman was surprised after reading that two young guys had hired a healer for their company.
“We don’t need to hire anyone, he is an elemental healer and quite famous in the Outside Town as the Silent Healer.”
The woman stared at Yale with disbelief before speaking again in a low voice.
“If that is true I can manage to have your company approved in a day instead of the usual month it takes. However, you will need to do me a favor afterward.”
The woman didn’t know about the Silent Healer, but any healer was good for her purpose.
“Please tell.”
Oscro was intending to obtain some special treatment due to Yale’s identity as he didn’t want to lose a month waiting, so he was happy when heard the woman’s words.
“My mother is old, and she isn’t a practitioner. She had some health issues that the other healers didn’t want to treat. I want you to heal her.”
“You should know that health issues related to the age can only be mitigated and not completely healed. Are you alright with that?”
Oscro had knowledge about how healing worked even if he couldn’t use it. If it was a sickness, then healing it wasn’t a problem for Yale, but if the health problems were due to the life force nearing its end, at most the healing would delay the symptoms.
“I know. At least I want her to suffer less, but healers dislike that kind of work.”
The woman wasn’t expecting some incredible healing to her mother, as long she improved a bit it was enough. After all, she thought Yale was too young, being an elemental healer at such age was already impressive.
“Then it is a deal. After the company is officially created, we will follow you to heal your mother.”
