Chapter 35 USA vs. The Youngest Daughter of the Strongest Clan (1)

 

Rewinding time a bit, when Eugene was in the midst of an intense hypnotic therapy session.

 

A reporter was there, capturing the entire scene.

 

‘Came here because of the commotion… This is a scoop!!’

 

It was at the time when Eugene was moving for the final treatment.

 

A young man at his limit, staggering for the sake of a suffering child, appeared truly heroic.

 

So, she exhibited professional dedication.

 

She captured the miracle before her eyes completely on video.

 

Without a single shake. Even holding her breath.

 

“Don’t be in pain anymore…”

 

-Thud.

 

Eugene smiled, despite barely being able to stand.

 

The child’s pain-twisted face eased into peace as if by a miracle.

 

Only after seeing that did the little hero collapse in relief.

 

All of it was captured in the reporter’s camcorder.

 

It was a masterpiece.

 

‘This is insane. I should… no, while I’m at it, I should get an interview too.’

 

She wanted to break the scoop immediately but restrained herself.

 

The reporter didn’t yet know the full story of the miracle she witnessed.

 

Releasing the article with incomplete information might lead to it being overshadowed by detailed follow-up reports.

 

So, she subtly approached the siblings.

 

It was for the interview.

 

“Actually, my brother suffered from CRPS.”

 

“He cried every day from the pain, but ever since Eugene treated him, there’s been no pain at all…!!”

 

The siblings also cooperated sincerely.

 

They came for treatment and happened to hear about someone named Eugene.

 

Clinging to a sliver of hope, they pushed past the guards with their bodies to reach the ward.

 

And then… salvation.

 

The interview overflowed with praises and gratitude towards Eugene.

 

The siblings’ interview and the reporter’s video soon set the internet ablaze.

**Title:** Have you guys seen the new article about the Hypnotist?

 

(Overlap gif of Eugene collapsing and the siblings’ interview)

 

(Article link URL)

 

He treated patients with hypnosis in a psychiatric ward.

 

Even an incurable disease like CRPS was cured.

 

ㄴ I thought it was another replay, but why is this actually new?

 

ㄴ ㄴ I thought it was the 8229th repeat of old news.

 

ㄴ The video quality is amazing ㄷㄷ.

 

ㄴ Look at him, he’s creating something new out of nothing!!

 

ㄴ ㄴ ???

 

At first, everyone was amazed by the video quality.

 

The source material was so good that even with simple editing, it felt grand like a movie.

 

Of course, it didn’t take long for the true value of this article to be recognized.

**Title:** Let’s learn about CRPS that the Hypnotist treated

 

(Video capture from the article)

 

Its full name is ‘Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.’

 

It’s a disease that causes pain even with no particular reason, like just the wind blowing.

 

It’s said to be the most painful condition a person can experience.

 

If you get it, you can’t do anything, and you have to lie down while taking narcotic painkillers.

 

It’s a rare, incurable disease with no proper treatment.

 

(The gif of Eugene saying, ‘Actually, I’m pretty strong.’)

 

The Hypnotist << This guy treated it.

 

How did he do it…?

 

ㄴ How painful is this disease exactly?

 

ㄴ ㄴ They say it’s on par with terminal pancreatic cancer.

 

ㄴ ㄴ ㅁㅊ

 

ㄴ Hypnosis treatment for mental illness was actually real.

 

ㄴ Is the Psychiatrist version of Ryu Soo-yeon here?

 

**Title:** Analysis) The Hypnotist treated at least dozens of people today?

 

(Video capture of Eugene with a nosebleed)

 

From the start of the video, he’s about to collapse.

 

He faints after using it one more time.

 

If it was really overloading, he should have collapsed while coughing up blood.

 

Since he fainted smoothly, it means hypnosis doesn’t put that much load on him.

 

(Video capture of Bozzikong leading while having a nosebleed)

 

It’s the same case as S-Class Rank 7.

 

Comparing the two, it looks like he used hypnosis almost a hundred times.

 

ㄴ What?

 

ㄴ Isn’t Ryu Soo-yeon’s limit about ten people a day?

 

ㄴ As expected of EX-Class, he’s on a different level ㄷㄷ.

 

As more detailed analyses came out, public opinion heated up.

 

An area even the Awakeners couldn’t touch before, the ‘mind.’

 

Not only did he handle it, but he also proved that he could treat it.

 

And he did so with dozens of people in a single day.

 

It was undoubtedly an astounding achievement.

 

Eugene’s performance, too, played a significant role in public opinion.

 

He performed a miracle that even doctors were astonished by, and yet he used all his power just for a miserable girl.

 

On the surface, he was the epitome of a hero.

 

In other words, he displayed unprecedented abilities backed by his character.

 

The heated reactions were only natural.

 

Embarrassingly ardent praises adorned the world.

**Title:** Interview from an Awakener in the article…

 

Notorious for their harsh language, the community was buzzing about Eugene’s achievements.

 

However, among them, there was a post that stood out the most.

 

The current U.S. president officially made a statement.

**Title:** Official statement from the U.S. president ㄷㄷ

 

Amid the flood of sensational posts, this one stood out uniquely.

 

After all, it was from the USA.

 

Although lagging behind Korea in the Awakeners sector, it’s undeniably the strongest nation.

 

And the president of such a country issued an official statement?

 

No Korean could resist clicking on it.

 

They all expected it to be a trap, but they clicked as if enchanted.

 

**Title:** Official statement from the U.S. president ㄷㄷ

 

Taylor Madison Buchanan retweeted

 

(Translated article about Eugene from overseas)

 

“A virtuous and principled young man”

 

It’s real; translating it means ‘a decent young man’ roughly.

 

ㄴ ????????

 

ㄴ Fake ㄴ

 

ㄴㄴ (Link to the SNS)

 

ㄴㄴ ????????

 

ㄴ What’s happening?

 

——It wasn’t a trap.

 

The U.S. president, no less, officially praised Eugene.

 

The world flipped upside down once again.

**Title:** U.S. tampering attempt ㄷㄷㄷ

 

(Photo of the U.S. president licking his lips)

 

Golden Sun (blonde from the Pacific) action is too much.

 

ㄴ The Pacific-born Yankee is doing thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

 

ㄴ But they had to; the U.S. has no S-Class Awakeners.

 

ㄴ ?? : Wwoohoo ww Fresh talent discovered ww.

 

No one took the president’s praise at face value.

 

The U.S. has no S-Class Awakeners despite its vast territory.

 

Instead, it has a massive number of A-Class Awakeners, but that doesn’t make up for it.

 

A fresh, next-generation S-Class?

 

From the peaceful Korean Pentagon, with overwhelming abilities never seen before?

 

It was only natural that the U.S. wanted him.

 

The praise seemed more like a marker for future recruitment.

 

Reactions across the globe were sharply divided.

 

Korea was in an uproar.

 

They wouldn’t allow Golden Sun’s intervention, claiming undying Korean nationalism.

 

In contrast, the U.S.?

 

[R/awakener – It will be one of President Buchanan’s greatest achievements]

 

[R/awakener – We welcome Eugene’s immigration to the U.S.]

 

They even used Korean translation tools to express their welcoming atmosphere.

 

Rumors circulated that successfully recruiting Eugene would be President Buchanan’s greatest achievement.

 

It was a bit of an overreaction, but still.

 

Other countries aside from Korea and the U.S.?

 

[Thread talking about Aika-chan]

 

Eugene-chan might immigrate to the U.S.

 

>>882

 

Please, just go.

 

>>884

 

That small country doesn’t need two S-Class Awakeners.

 

They all sided with the U.S.

 

Korea, already the strongest Awakener nation, was producing another S-Class talent?

 

Unspoken support for the U.S. emerged, under the guise of ‘one S-Class per country is the rule.’

 

This put the Korean Awakeners Association president, Seol Ha-yeon, and Eugene, the person in question, in a tight spot…

 

———But the strongest clan in Korea, Cheonhwa, was most affected.

 

‘Thought I’d have some leeway while attending the academy and

 

entrust it to my daughter. This is troublesome.’

 

Cheonhwa Clan Leader Yoo Jung-chul’s frown deepened.

 

Just when his youngest daughter became an Awakener, Eugene appeared, making recruitment seem easy.

 

But the U.S. president showed interest?

 

And global public opinion subtly supported it?

 

Even he wasn’t confident.

 

Confident in recruiting Eugene into Cheonhwa.

 

‘Even with an unprecedented offer, if the U.S. hits with dollars, it’s over.’

 

He knew.

 

How desperate the U.S. was for S-Class Awakeners.

 

How much they could pay for someone like Eugene.

 

Even scraping together the clan’s budget couldn’t match the U.S.’s dollar punch.

 

Cheonhwa was no match for the U.S. in terms of scale.

 

Meanwhile, Eugene?

 

Would he sign with Cheonhwa while his value skyrocketed?

 

Yoo Jung-chul couldn’t even imagine it.

 

He might go to the U.S. without looking back.

 

Even if he stayed out of patriotism, his price would be tens of times higher than expected.

 

So, he sighed in regret…

 

-Buzz.

 

“…Shia?”

 

[Father, you’re worried about recruiting Eugene, right?]

 

Suddenly, a call from his beloved youngest daughter.

 

Moreover,

 

[Leave it to me! I’ll definitely bring him to Cheonhwa!]

 

“…!!!?”

 

She boldly declared she would recruit Eugene.

 

He hurriedly asked.

 

“Is that really… No, do you not understand? The situation is severe.”

 

[I roughly saw it. Looks like the U.S. will make an offer.]

 

“You know that? It’s the U.S.! The U.S. has drawn their sword to take him!!”

 

[It doesn’t matter.]

 

A smile appeared on Shia’s face beyond the phone.

 

“Because I will win.”

 

* * *

 

After a tumultuous Saturday, the next day.

 

“What about me instead of that vixen? If you join our clan… you can even hypnotize me?”

 

“…Huh?”

 

Shia crossed the line boldly.
