: The Healer's Restarted Life

"Students, make sure to take good care of the Professional Badge you awakened today, and finish the tasks required by the badge as soon as possible to start your profession!"

"Remember, don't hand over your Professional Badge to anyone. If someone tries to force you to transfer it, let me know immediately or call the police!"

"Lastly, if you're dissatisfied with your Professional Badge and wish to exchange it, I strongly advise you to use official channels first!"

On the podium, homeroom teacher Chen Daosheng was repeating the advice he'd given countless times over the recent days.

But there was no choice; every year, some students inevitably lost their badges for various reasons, preventing them from becoming Professionals.

As a teacher, he had to persistently remind them with great concern.

At this moment, in the back row by the window where talent often emerged, Lin Ye was staring incredulously at the fiery badge in his hand.

"Have I been reborn?"

He was shocked, not expecting that after taking down the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch with him, he would return to his student days.

Furthermore, it was the day he received his Professional Badge!

This was the very day he made a mistake, causing him to lose a badge that perfectly matched his talent.

"Flame Warrior! This time, no one will trick you out of my hands!"

Lin Ye gritted his teeth!

The tragedy that occurred in his past life would not repeat.

But unless something unexpected happened, it was about to.

[Unknown Disturbance!!!]

[Your talent has been initialized...]

Lin Ye's eyes widened!

What was this nonsense?

His talent, the S-Class "Body of Flame," was gone just like that?!

[You have awakened a new talent, "Healing Dominator (??)"]

"What the hell? A healer's talent?"

Lin Ye couldn't hold back, astonished by the absurdity.

He had lived again, yet faced the same path as before.

In his previous life, he traded his "Flame Warrior" with Su Yaoyao for "Healer," making his days afterward extremely difficult.

Meanwhile, Su Yaoyao soared with the "Flame Warrior," becoming the Rookie King of Shan City that year!

She left Lin Ye behind with just the phrase "we're not in the same world," elegantly departing from his life.

Thus, the healer profession only brought Lin Ye pain.

Unexpectedly now, his talent was changed to this so-called "Healing Dominator"...

To whom could he appeal for justice?

"Lin Ye, are you alright? You look a bit pale," Teacher Chen noticed Lin Ye's condition and asked concernedly.

All the students turned to look at Lin Ye.

Each one had eyes filled with inquiry, concern, or even flattery...

"Are you feeling unwell? I have some Calming Pills here, do you want one?"

"It must have been exhausting in the Profession Divine Hall earlier. Let me take you to the infirmary to rest!"

"No, I'll be the one to help him, I'm Xiong Da, and I decide!"

"Huh? I'm feeling a bit dizzy too, can someone help me?"

"What infirmary? Come to my place, my bed's much more comfortable!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! I'm even more comfortable!"

The classmates were very eager to help, and quite a few female students openly offered their beds, even arguing over it.

There was no choice; during yesterday's talent awakening, Lin Ye was one of the only two S-Class talents in the entire school.

Moreover, today he acquired a 200% matched Professional Badge at the Profession Divine Hall.

To put it simply, Lin Ye's starting point already left his peers several streets behind.

Under such circumstances, the people offering help were naturally plentiful...

However, faced with the enthusiasm of these classmates, Lin Ye was cold-hearted.

Indeed, these people were enthusiastic now.

But once he lost the "Flame Warrior" profession, how many would still treat him well?

They were just trying to curry favor.

"Teacher Chen, I'm fine, I was just a bit distracted... I'm sorry!" Lin Ye looked at the podium and said to Chen Daosheng.

This apology carried immense emotion!

Some praised him in his heyday, while others lent him a hand during his downturn.

Chen Daosheng was the latter!

As for the apology, it came from Lin Ye's regret for not heeding Chen Daosheng's advice in his previous life.

Chen Daosheng frowned, sensing something odd about Lin Ye.

"It's good that you're okay."

Chen Daosheng didn't press further and continued with his lecture.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye had lost interest in the lesson and immediately began examining his talent.

...

[Healing Dominator]

Attribute 1: When your healing takes effect, there's a chance to gain permanent attribute points, with a very low probability of acquiring the opponent's talent.

Attribute 2: When your healing takes effect, there's a chance to obtain a special item "Spiritual Essence" (Spiritual Essence can be used to refine equipment attributes).

Attribute 3: Any of your Healing Techniques will only consume one Mana Value and will exempt any material requirements for casting.

Attribute 4: Healing accumulates healing amounts, which can be used to upgrade talent or skill ratings (Current accumulated healing amount: 0).

...

"Wow, this is amazing!"

Seeing the four attributes of this talent, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel delighted!

It's completely overpowered!

Each of the four attributes of this talent alone would rival an SSS-Class talent!

This one talent was equivalent to four SSS-Class talents.

Thus, even giving up the "Flame Warrior" was hardly a loss.

Although the healer profession brought Lin Ye countless painful memories, it couldn't be denied he had abundant experience in that profession.

In fact, he later managed to change profession to a hidden profession, "Anger Flame Priest," and achieved significant success.

One could say he had grown accustomed to this profession.

If he switched to another profession, all those valuable experiences would be meaningless.

However, at present, he faced a rather tricky issue.

Where could he find a healer's Professional Badge?

This problem wasn't difficult to solve...

After school today, someone would come to him to exchange a healer's badge for his Flame Warrior Badge.

This person was Su Yaoyao!

And astonishingly, in his previous life, Lin Ye had accepted this absurd request.

Just because Su Yaoyao promised that if Lin Ye exchanged badges with her, she would date him.

The truth was she never intended to keep her promise from the start.

"In this life, I'd rather destroy the badge than give it to you!"

Lin Ye clenched the badge in his hand.

Now the question was, where could he get a healer's badge?

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed as he thought of someone.

"That's right! Li Fei! She acquired a healer's Professional Badge too!"

: Su Yaoyao Panics

The Professional Badge is something that every Quasi-Professional who has awakened their talent can obtain at the Profession Divine Hall.

Generally speaking, as long as you're not too unlucky, you can get a profession that has a 100% compatibility with your talent.

The higher the compatibility, the more strength and bonuses you gain.

If the compatibility between the talent and profession exceeds 150%, your talent will automatically be upgraded by one level in the official resource allocation rankings.

If it reaches 200%, it will be upgraded by two levels!

But such cases are extremely rare; out of ten thousand people, there might not be even one.

In Lin Ye's case, it's even rarer because his talent is S-Class.

With an S-Class talent being upgraded by two levels, it becomes SSS-Class!

He can enjoy the benefits of a top-tier talent!

If it weren't for this, his classmates wouldn't be so enthusiastic about Lin Ye right now.

Lin Ye can even feel many overly passionate gazes still lingering on him.

Just how intense?

The night in his previous life, no fewer than ten girls came to ring his doorbell, some came alone, some in a group, and even some brought their mothers.

But the next day, after they learned that Lin Ye's profession had changed from Flame Warrior to Healer, they all disappeared in front of Lin Ye.

Thinking of these things, Lin Ye merely smiled slightly.

Compared to the hardships he endured in his previous life, this sort of thing isn't even a light breeze.

Just a bunch of passersby, they can't affect Lin Ye in the slightest.

Soon, the class ended.

Lin Ye directly followed behind Chen Daosheng and walked out of the classroom.

Moving quickly, Lin Ye arrived at Class Two.

Seeing Lin Ye appear at the classroom door, many people in Class Two immediately brightened up.

"Lin Ye is here! He must be here to see Su Yaoyao!"

"Really envious, Yaoyao being able to meet a guy like Lin Ye..."

"But how do I remember that Su Yaoyao has always been indifferent to Lin Ye? Isn't she still dating Liu Zhengjie from Experimental High School?"

"I think you're just sour! Stop spreading false rumors!"

"Keep babbling, and I'll tear your mouth off!"

Lin Ye has been silently pursuing Su Yaoyao, which is no secret at Shan City First Middle School.

Many even privately joked that Lin Ye was a simp, Shan City's most devoted.

But now, who dares to mock Lin Ye?

Even Su Yaoyao's gaze towards Lin Ye is completely different than before.

She now looks at him as if he's a lifeline!

Her talent, Fire Element Affinity, is A-level, which is already considered a good talent, but today she received a Healer Badge at the Profession Divine Hall.

With a mere 60% compatibility, it doesn't even reach the basic 100%!

You could say that if she switched to a Healer, her path as a Professional is essentially at a dead end.

Of course, her situation isn't completely hopeless. On the official platform, it's quite easy to exchange the Healer for a regular Mage.

This way, her compatibility can rise back to at least 100% like the average level.

But everything changed when she learned Lin Ye got the 'Flame Warrior'.

Although her talent leans more toward the Magic System, Lin Ye's Flame Warrior aligns with her attribute affinity, and it's a rare profession, so reaching 150% compatibility shouldn't be a problem.

Then her talent rating could reach S-Level, allowing her to soar!

As for why she would think this way?

That's something only Lin Ye can answer.

Su Yaoyao is well aware that as long as she asks, Lin Ye would even give his life to her!

So what does a Professional Badge matter?

Surrounded by praises, Su Yaoyao stood up, crossed her arms, and raised her chin to look at Lin Ye, like a proud Queen inspecting her soldiers.

And Lin Ye had already walked into the classroom, then ignoring Su Yaoyao under everyone's watchful eyes, went straight to another girl.

"Li Fei, come with me for a moment!"

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared at the scene in disbelief, especially Su Yaoyao, who widened her eyes in astonishment.

This damned guy, I've been standing here waiting for you, and you actually went to find another girl?

"Me?"

Li Fei looked at Lin Ye in surprise.

Completely unable to understand why Lin Ye would choose her.

"Let's go! Come with me to a place!" Lin Ye directly grabbed Li Fei's hand.

Li Fei was dumbfounded, having no idea what was happening.

But now, with her hand held by Lin Ye, she went soft all at once and could only follow Lin Ye dumbly.

Looking at Lin Ye's handsome profile, her face blushed bright red, as she walked silently, head down, led by Lin Ye...

"Lin Ye! Stop right there!"

At this moment, Su Yaoyao burst out.

She was on the verge of exploding with anger, couldn't believe Lin Ye was so excessive, holding another girl while leaving right in front of her.

Moreover, that girl was her most hated, Li Fei!

Because Li Fei's studies, talent, and even looks and figure, all surpassed hers!

The only thing the two had in common was that they both received a Healer Badge today at the Profession Divine Hall.

But even so, Li Fei's profession compatibility was still higher than Su Yaoyao's!

This made Su Yaoyao very angry.

And now with Lin Ye holding Li Fei as they left, it only intensified her fury.

Lin Ye stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyao couldn't help but snort, knew Lin Ye wouldn't ignore her!

But she's still very angry!

If Lin Ye doesn't apologize in front of the whole class, she won't forgive him easily.

Yet the next moment, she saw Lin Ye whisper something in Li Fei's ear.

Then, with Li Fei blushing and nodding, he pulled her away again, and the two walked out of the classroom just like that.

Su Yaoyao was completely stupefied...

"What... what's going on with Lin Ye?"

"Could it be he likes Li Fei?"

"But didn't he always chase after Yaoyao?"

"Is it possible he's doing it on purpose to spite Yaoyao?"

"Could be! Absolutely, it's all because Yaoyao was too cold to him before."

"Even if that's so, Lin Ye's actions are too much! I think he shouldn't be forgiven so easily!"

Surrounded by her friends' chatter, Su Yaoyao's expression gradually eased.

"I definitely won't forgive him! Unless he comes to apologize to me first, I won't even glance at him again!" Su Yaoyao declared fiercely.

"Yes, yes, exactly! I bet he'll still come back to Yaoyao!"

"Right, that's how it should be! Or else what's next?"

Listening to these words, Su Yaoyao was still sulkily looking outside the classroom, but for some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that Lin Ye really wouldn't pay her any attention anymore?

Then what about her Flame Warrior Badge?

Su Yaoyao couldn't help but admit, she was a bit panicked...

: Is There Really Such a Talent?

On the rooftop, Li Fei lowered her head to hide her burning red face.

A bit flustered.

She simply couldn't figure out why Lin Ye had pulled her up there, wondering what he intended to do.

"Honestly, I want the Healer Badge you're holding!" Lin Ye said straightforwardly, without any hesitation.

"Huh?"

Li Fei raised her head in shock, somewhat doubting her ears.

A profession with 200% compatibility... and he doesn't want it?

Now she finally understands why Lin Ye had asked her earlier if she had her Professional Badge with her; it turned out he wanted to exchange!

Professional Badges are not allowed to be exchanged casually in principle.

Because if it's openly allowed, various inequitable scenarios would arise.

For instance, a powerful individual forcibly exchanging badges for their offspring, or conglomerates purchasing them in bulk to stockpile.

That's why the Professional Alliance strictly prohibits any coercive methods to exchange badges.

But in reality, completely banning badge exchanges is impossible...

As some people obtain professions that aren't compatible enough with their talents, creating a need for exchange.

As long as both parties voluntarily and the exchange doesn't involve monetary compensation or power, it's allowed.

The official platform was even established to facilitate exchanges, using big data to match Awakened individuals with suitable badges.

However, what this platform can match are mostly ordinary professions, and Lin Ye's Flame Warrior can't be found there at all.

"Want to exchange?" Lin Ye asked again.

Li Fei was somewhat troubled, but truthfully, she was willing to exchange!

Because her talent is the S-Class Heavy Body...

Essentially, it's a Warrior talent, and it's oriented toward a tank type!

And the profession she obtained is a Healer, which has slightly less compatibility with her talent, just 95%, slightly below the 100% standard.

She originally planned to apply for a badge exchange on the official platform, seeking a Warrior profession to increase her compatibility to over 120%.

But if she had Lin Ye's Flame Warrior, her compatibility might even exceed 150%!

"Then... what about you?" Li Fei asked, slightly embarrassed.

"I'll be a Healer!" Lin Ye replied with a smile, "If you need, I can be the man constantly working hard behind you."

Li Fei couldn't grasp Lin Ye's suggestive comment, but her cheeks turned even redder.

Is this a confession?

"No way, your badge is too valuable." Li Fei shook her head, refusing.

She felt like Lin Ye was just messing around.

Why would anyone forsake a profession with 100% compatibility?

"You're worried that switching professions will mean I won't have 200% compatibility, right? Let me tell you, my talent is even more compatible with being a Healer; otherwise, why would I want to exchange with you?"

Lin Ye spoke directly: "Moreover, as a Healer, I need a tank. On considering everything, exchanging badges with you is the best choice!"

Li Fei frowned slightly and looked at Lin Ye with a pitiful glance...

She's getting beat up front while Lin Ye heals her from behind?

This image seemed a bit abstract...

Moreover, does a talent really exist that could be 200% compatible with both a Warrior and a Healer profession?

Li Fei didn't know Lin Ye's specific talent because talent differs from profession; outsiders only know the talent rating, not the content.

But she subconsciously overlooked the fact that Lin Ye seemed very knowledgeable about her talent.

Seeing Li Fei's dumbfounded look, Lin Ye knew he had succeeded.

Still as easy to trick as in the previous life!

"You're not tricking me?" Li Fei asked again.

"If I'm tricking you, I'm a puppy; if you don't believe it, let's pinky swear!" Lin Ye said confidently.

"Then... you need to let go first..." Li Fei lowered her head again.

"Oh!" Lin Ye finally released Li Fei's soft and warm hand.

The two linked pinkies...

"Here, you can have the badge, but if you trick me, I'll be guilt-ridden to death." Li Fei said seriously.

"Hey! I'm really not tricking you!" Lin Ye replied irritably.

After some pulling around, both sides finally exchanged badges.

"The task to switch to Flame Warrior is to enter any Fire Secret Realm and clear it. Tomorrow, we'll go to Flame Forest together, I'll help you switch jobs!" Lin Ye accepted Li Fei's badge and said.

"Oh... okay!" Li Fei nodded like a pecking chicken.

Flame Forest is also a fairly mainstream beginner's Secret Realm, so Lin Ye's choice was very appropriate.

"Oh, and remember, don't randomly tell anyone about us exchanging badges!" Lin Ye advised solemnly.

Now, it's known throughout the school that he received a Profession Badge with 200% compatibility.

Soon, this news will likely spread across the city.

If it's discovered he exchanged it for Li Fei's Healing Badge, it would be quite a drama.

The principal would likely be the first to chat with him, and even the city's education department might send someone to investigate.

Lin Ye doesn't want any hassle, so it needs to be kept confidential for now.

Once the profession change is successful, he and Li Fei will have accomplished their mission, and even if the matter is exposed, it won't matter.

Because once a profession is set, there's no turning back.

All of it was voluntary, what could people say?

Of course, surely someone will be penalized over this.

In his past life, Chen Daosheng, as Lin Ye's homeroom teacher, lost his job over this...

Before in class, Lin Ye apologized to Chen Daosheng, partly because of this reason.

But in this life, Lin Ye will never let Chen Daosheng be wronged because of him again.

Li Fei nodded gravely, aware of the matter's importance, and she knew she couldn't tell anyone!

"Good!" Lin Ye stretched out his hand and patted Li Fei's head.

This made the little girl quite annoyed as he shamelessly held her hand again.

Thus the two went downstairs together.

...

The two said their farewells at the classroom door.

Li Fei returned to her seat graciously, despite the odd quiet in the classroom, but she remained calm as though nothing happened.

Only sensing the badge's warmth in her pocket made her unconsciously purse her lips, attempting to conceal her inner delight.

Meanwhile, Su Yaoyao had nearly bitten her teeth off!

It was fine that Lin Ye had held Li Fei's hand while leaving, but then he still held it upon returning.

Doesn't Lin Ye know this makes her feel terrible?

The more Su Yaoyao thought, the angrier she became, resolving to take action.

Before school ends today, if Lin Ye doesn't apologize to her, she will...

Just go directly to him and demand an explanation, and incidentally exchange Lin Ye's badge!
