The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 50
Episode 50 Show me the Nursing (1)
“Have you heard of it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Show me the nursing.”
“….”
“I guess it’s not strange. “Why do you look at people like that?”
“No, I just stared.”
“…Hum hum! Anyway, His Majesty the Crown Prince is holding a competition to select professional nurses.”
“A nurse?”
“Yes, nurse.”
“Large joint… what kind of nurse are you?”
“Well, since His Majesty the Crown Prince opened an oriental medicine clinic in the villa, wouldn’t he be hiring an assistant to work there?”
“Hmm, I guess so. But why are you telling me that?”
“I’m doing this because I’m thinking of you all.”
“You’re thinking of me?”
“Haven’t you been scratching the floor in a corner of the house for five years already?”
“Why is my landlord worried that I can’t get a job? Isn’t that crazy? Don’t cross the line. “When have I ever been behind on rent?”
“Not once, but twice.”
“…sorry.”
“Anyway, it’s about the nurse selection contest. “I was wondering if you should go out too.”
“Me?”
“Hmm.”
“Are you telling me to become a nurse?”
“Hmm. “The pay was good.”
“How much?”
“One month’s salary is enough to cover two years’ worth of rent?”
“…I’ll do it right now!”
The young man’s eyes brightened.
The landlord laughed.
“Good idea. Then, let’s go to the public hall in Frontera Square.”
“In the public hall?”
“Hmm. “There was an art exhibition there, and the main work there had detailed recruitment guidelines written on it.”
“Thank you, old man! “If you succeed in getting a job, I’ll at least make you a set of clothes!”
“Hehehe, let’s go first.”
The ecliptic magenta welcomes the spring morning. The news spread all over the city. Those who heard the news headed to Frontera Square.
A public hall built on one side of the square. An exhibition was being held there. It was a small exhibition featuring the studies of Dean Ryer Youngsik, a fledgling young painter who was just beginning to make a name for himself in the art world.
On the outside, it looked ordinary. It was just a routine exhibition with nothing to attract attention. However, a painting hanging in the center of the public hall caught people’s attention. It was the work called ‘The Healing Prince and Nurses’ that was the core of the exhibition.
“Is that… His Royal Highness?”
“Oh, I guess not. “You’re much taller than you are in real life.”
“Yes? “My legs are too long.”
The structure of the exhibition hall was clever.
The movement route was designed so that every visitor, without exception, would pass by the ‘Healing Prince and Nurses’ work at least once. Thanks to this, all visitors to the exhibition hall stopped in front of the work.
“But what are those phrases written on the picture…?”
Everyone’s eyes widened. The bold and provocative typography engraved on the top and bottom of the picture caught people’s attention.
〈Show Me the Nursing〉
〈You Can Become an Angel in White〉
〈Rewarding Life and Happiness by Becoming a Nurse〉
〈A Generous Salary and Money Sleeves Fully Guaranteed by the Crown Prince!〉
“….”
Gulp.
This is the salary given by the crown prince. But when I saw the amount, my mouth watered.
‘Isn’t that as good as any decent job? But you get paid that kind of money just for caring for patients?’
Everyone thought.
It’s worth a try. Isn’t that money given for free? Moreover, since the employer is the crown prince, there will be no need to deprive him of his salary.
“Honey, I’ve decided.”
“yes?”
“Actually, my dream since childhood was to be a nurse.”
“…yes?”
The hearts of most visitors were shaken by bounce and bounce. As a group, they even performed cognitive distortions and self-memory manipulation to revise their future aspirations that they had harbored since childhood.
In addition, the clever structure of the exhibition hall once again struck a refreshing final blow to the shaking hearts of visitors. This was thanks to the ‘Show Me the Nursing’ reception desk being set up on one side of the exit leaving the exhibition hall.
[Nurse Selection Test Reception Area]
A table with … written on it.
A line formed in front of it. The lines lined up endlessly. There was even a cut in line fight. Being a nurse doesn’t seem difficult, but the salary is good and stable, so I had high hopes that it would be worth a try. Or, with the hope of using this opportunity to fix it.
More than half of the people who visited the exhibition hall stood in line. I registered my name for the nurse selection exam. Everything turned out exactly as Rakiel had intended.
“Huhu huhuhu.”
“….”
“Hehehe hehehe.”
“….”
“Hehehehehehehehehe.”
“…majesty.”
“Why?”
“What are you so happy about?”
“Then are you happy or not?”
Rakiel smiled brightly. He then pointed to a pile of documents piled up like a building on the table.
“There were so many applicants for the nurse selection test.”
He said to Damian.
“There are probably some useful talents among them. Then there will no longer be a shortage of nursing staff at oriental medical clinics. The oriental medicine clinic will run quickly. “More patients will be able to receive smooth treatment and recover in hospital beds.”
That’s how much bonus life I get. With that lifespan, it will live happily for a thousand and ten thousand years.
“But wouldn’t you be happy?”
“I see…”
Damian admired with a pure heart.
This crown prince whom he serves is definitely not an ordinary person. A person who makes such sincere efforts to treat patients without receiving anything in return. The reason we hire more nurses is for the noble purpose of healing and happiness for more patients.
‘As expected, he is a great person.’
Damian’s head nods amidst a small(?) misunderstanding. Rakiel smiles even more happily, ignoring such misunderstandings. The days passed between the two with mixed smiles. The five-day exhibition has ended.
And on the sixth day.
The professional nurse selection competition ‘Show Me the Nursing’, sponsored and hosted by the crown prince himself, was held at the villa. The method was surprisingly simple.
“Now pay attention! “Please gather together with application numbers 1 to 50!”
The exterior entrance plaza of the villa. More than hundreds of test takers gathered in front of him. Among them, application numbers 1 to 50 were collected. A guard spoke to them.
“Now we begin the first task of the nurse selection exam. “The first task is ‘to the sudden interview site.’”
“….”
The test takers tilted their heads. Is that some kind of nonsense? However, there was no mercy in the guard’s subsequent explanation.
“You can start from here and go through the designated course in the garden to the main building of the villa where the interview room is located. However, the length of the course you will travel is approximately 3 kilometers, and only up to 10 people who quickly arrive at the main villa can take the interview on a first-come, first-served basis.”
“Yes?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Wait a minute, then what about the other 40 people?”
The surprised test takers asked. The guard said clearly.
“Anyone who is not among the first 10 will be disqualified.”
“….”
What the hell. We came to take the nurse exam. But why do we take this physical fitness test? Everyone felt perplexed. But the starting signal suddenly went off.
“depart!”
“…!”
It was from then on.
50 people ran for their lives. There were no people of any age or gender. After a while, 10 winners were identified.
“…omg! Whoops! Whoop!”
“Cool look! Cough!”
“Geez….”
The 10 winners entered the interview room unsteadily, showing off a fancy ceremony(?). Rachiel and Sir Gardin greeted them. Sir Gardin spoke to the candidates.
“Everyone worked hard to get here. “Then, let’s start the next task right away.”
The test takers were not even given a chance to catch their breath. Lord Gardin pointed to 10 tables set up in the spacious interview room.
“There are six different kinds of medicinal herbs on the table.”
It was indeed as he said. Sir Gardin continued his explanation.
“Of the six medicinal herbs, one has deteriorated due to incorrect storage methods. From now on, use your own sense of sight, smell, and touch to pick out the deteriorated medicinal ingredients. That is the second challenge.”
“Huhuuu ah, I understand….”
The test takers were not even able to catch their breath yet. With red faces and sweating profusely, we took our seats at our respective tables. I tried my best to pick out the deteriorated medicine.
But it was in the meantime.
“…Whoosh… Huh… Ugh….”
Is this because I overexerted myself by running on a first-come-first-served basis? One of the test takers, a burly man, stumbled and touched the table. Then he fainted without anyone being able to help him. It collapsed as if it was falling apart.
Kwadangtang!
The table fell over. The medicine poured out. The remaining 9 test takers flinched at that sudden gesture. Everyone’s eyes turned to the fallen man. But even for a moment. The test takers looked at each other.
‘That person fell down, is he okay…?’
‘what. ‘Why doesn’t anyone take care of that person?’
‘Shouldn’t the guards or the people in the villa carry them out?’
‘What are the organizers doing?’
Busy moving eyes. Hearts that shake even more busily. But soon the test takers realized something. Looking closely, it seemed like no one other than themselves was paying attention to the fallen man.
“….”
Everyone was silent. In it, a tacit understanding was exchanged. It’s a competitive field anyway. It’s a pity for the person who falls, but this is also part of the competition.
It was from then on.
The nine test takers paid no attention to the fallen man. Each person began to focus on the medicine in front of them. Rakiel smiled at that sight. A signal was sent to Sir Gardin.
“Okay, that’s it. Until there.”
“…yes?”
The test takers flinched at Sir Gardin’s words. We haven’t even identified spoiled medicine yet? He gave me a look that seemed to say. But Rachiel didn’t care. Because I’ve already seen everything there is to see.
Sir Gardin’s business-like declaration followed.
“I have seen you concentrate hard to identify medicinal ingredients. That’s enough. You will be notified later whether you pass or not, so please leave now. Thank you all for your hard work.”
“….”
The nine test takers stepped away with a dazed look. On the one hand, wouldn’t he have passed? There was also a face with such anticipation.
After the candidates left the interview room. The man who had fainted earlier suddenly woke up looking fine. It was Damian.
“Wow, luckily everyone was fooled.”
“I know. “I was worried because it seemed a bit over the top when I fell.”
“…Did you?”
“uh. “It was a little awkward.”
“….”
“Let’s hone our acting skills. “What you do, you have to do it right.”
“….”
“Anyway, thanks to everyone being fooled, the evaluation is clear.”
“Then what happens to the nine people who just came in?”
“Everyone is eliminated.”
Rachiel said clearly, as if drawing a line.
“First of all, I passed the basic physical fitness test. Taking care of a patient requires an incredible amount of physical strength. This is especially true when caring for more than one or two people. But the problem was the second task.”
“Nobody cared about me.”
“uh. At first I noticed, but then I stopped paying attention. There was someone who collapsed right next to me. You can’t do that. You can acquire medicinal herb identification and other knowledge through education, but…”
“Are you saying that the character you already have is important?”
“uh. “Exactly.”
A personality that puts others before myself. A selfless and dedicated mindset. Isn’t that the greatest virtue of a nurse? Rachiel thought so.
“People are like that. When you are pushed into an extreme situation, your true nature comes out. For example, like just now. I was pushed to my physical limits, almost out of breath. “In that situation, I felt psychological pressure and competitiveness to pass the nurse selection exam.”
“So I guess everyone’s true nature came out.”
“that’s right. The fallen person was treated as competition rather than someone who needed to be looked after. That’s not right. “If you want to become a nurse.”
In fact, the real task at the interview was a test of personality and qualifications. What medicine is on each table? They were all fine. Has it deteriorated due to improper storage? In fact, there wasn’t one. It was literally a test of personality by catching the candidates as if they were filming with a hidden camera.
“At the same time, all special forces members take turns doing physical training. how is it? “After running 3 kilometers?”
“It was easy.”
“I guess so. “By now, Sergio will be running in among the next 50 candidates.”
Probably so.
In the next group was another special forces gladiator. Also, in the next group, a mix of gladiators from the next order will come running. The first 10 people will be admitted. And the character of the remaining nine will be tested by falling down just like Damian did.
“Then keep up the good work. “Don’t forget to change your disguise.”
“All right.”
Damian walked away. An evil smile bloomed at the corner of Rakiel’s mouth.
‘Now, let’s all look at personality and personality!’
After that, the tests continued. But the results were disappointing.
‘what is this.’
After all interviews are completed. Rachiel, who remained in the exam room, felt dumbfounded. No test taker paid any attention to the fallen special forces member.
Still, there might be a few people. I wondered if the conscience of this era was like that. It’s truly unbelievable, but shockingly, not a single person paid any attention to the fallen person!
‘…Whoa, this is real money.’
Rakiel sighed deeply.
‘Everyone would say that the test was more important than the person who fell that much. But no matter what, this is a rather bitter result, isn’t it?’
A bitter smile came out. I even thought that maybe the theory of evil spirits was true.
‘Then what should I do? ‘Should we just select a few suitable people from among the applicants?’
But he quickly shook his head. That’s not quite right. In that case, it would be much better to educate and use the villa attendants and maids who are currently acting as nurses.
‘If I was going to select the best, I wouldn’t have held a selection contest like this.’
This is not a selection contest that was started for that purpose. If you’re going to pick one, get the real thing. That was Rachiel’s wish.
‘But what should I do? Anyone who lives in the imperial capital and is interested in becoming a nurse should consider that they are almost there today.’
Are there any candidates whose eyes will sparkle? Are there really talented nurses who can be trusted and entrusted to their patients? Worry struck me. My head hurt. I wanted to get some air.
‘I should take a walk.’
I walked through the garden with Damien. Perhaps out of regret, I headed towards the outer gate of the villa. It was the very place where the ‘Show Me the Nursing’ contestants gathered. But when I arrived at the gate, something a little strange was happening.
“Please let me in. yes? We also took the test. You said you submitted an application? “But why not?”
“Didn’t I say it again? “Only humans can do this.”
“But we too…!”
“Oh, how dare you shout out where this is? “Will you come to your senses if you are forcibly dragged out?”
“….”
For some reason, it was noisy outside the gate.
‘What’s going on?’
Judging by their voices, they are a young woman and a man. The woman is protesting and the man is admonishing. Judging from the content?
‘Women are test takers. I think the man is a member of the royal guard guarding the gate.’
But even though I submitted an application, I was denied entry. I couldn’t take the test because I wasn’t human.
‘what. Was there a test taker who was cut from the entrance exam without my knowledge?’
Quick.
How dare you when even one candidate is disappointing? Rakiel hurriedly walked, feeling deep and strong anger like bone broth. And finally, soon after arriving at the gate, he was able to see the appearance of the applicant who had been cut ‘because he was not human’.
“…uh?”
Raquiel’s eyes widened when he saw the gazer.
