Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

A doctor came to sign off the discharge papers so that Ning and Hi-Ah could take their grandmother back home.

After learning what she did, and checking the old woman's vitals, the doctor was certain that she had recovered and would be fine to take home.

Staff came and put their grandmother into a stroller before dragging her out of the room.

"We should go," Tae Hi-Ah said.

Ning paused for a moment as he looked at the remaining people in the room. He then turned toward the nurse and asked, "Do you have information on everyone in this room at the moment?"

"Sorry?" the nurse looked confused and worried. "We can't give out patient information."

"You won't have to," Ning said. "I only need to know that if they were ever to leave this hospital, could you call them back?"

"I… suppose, yes," the nurse said. The nurse looked towards the doctor to help her.

"Is everything alright?" the doctor asked.

"Everyone here suffering from Mana Poisoning, right?" he asked.

"Yes, this is the ward where we keep people that have mana poisoning," the doctor said.

"Good," Ning said. "Hi-Ah, White, get everyone that is not a patient out of here right now."

"What are you doing?" Hi-Ah asked.

"Yes, master." White was ready to follow his command at a moment's notice.

White gently gestured for the nurses, staff, and even the doctor to leave. Hi-Ah didn't understand what was happening.

The doctor was practically appalled at the situation.

"I will call security. You can't—"

Ning pulled out something he had received from the DoDD after passing their test. A Hunter ID. He showed the ID to the nurse, who had her words stuck in her mouth after reading the words on the card.

"S… SSS Rank?" she looked at the card and back at Ning.

"I'm going to get rid of the mana that's torturing their body. Please get anyone that isn't tortured by it out of here," he said.

"I—"

Tae Hi-Ah had seen too much today to question his words again. "Come on, sister. We should get out of here for now," she said.

The doctor wanted to stay behind, but she found it hard to disagree with an SSS-ranked hunter's command.

"Fine. Everyone, out!" she shouted. The nurses and staff moved out one after another.

Ning waited for everyone to go out and for the door to be shut. Once shut, he looked around at the people there.

"Alright, let's start. System, is there a way to do it all at once?" Ning asked. "Some sort of skill to steal away mana from others maybe."

<There is a Tier 5 Spell you can use. A spell called Mana Siphon where you can steal away someone else's mana.>

"Can I target multiple people with it?" he asked.

<No, but you can use multiples of it at the same time.>

"Oh, okay that works. Teach me," Ning said.

The system gave him the relevant information, and Ning quickly learned it. With his talent, he hardly ever needed any time to learn since he had talent that was simply uncontested.

"Alright, let's begin."

He took a deep breath and suddenly a magic circle appeared in his hands from which came a long, illusory blue stream of light that landed on a random person in his sight.

Then, the mana inside their body was slowly sucked out of them. At the same time, Ning cast the spell again, this time the illusory blue light latching onto someone else and pulling out the mana from them.

The mana that was siphoned out went into Ning, increasing his own mana and even improving his tier.

He used the spell again, siphoning more mana from another person.

Ning felt a slight strain on his body, particularly his mana channels which had to accept such a vast amount of mana. However, because of how strong his body was, he didn't have to worry about it in the least.

More and more mana circles formed in front of him as he sucked in more and more mana from everyone around him. At some point, he had even reached S rank in mana alone.

Still, there were a lot more people around him who needed him to take away all the mana.

The latch on the first person vanished as he finished taking away all their mana. While they weren't healed, the stagnant mana was gone, for now, making them feel a lot better.

The few people that had still not fallen into a coma stopped grunting as the pain and nausea slowly lifted from them.

Once it went away, the people started falling asleep as a result of the fatigue they had been under.

Time passed slowly, while White, Hi-Ah, and the other staff members stood outside, worried.

They had been outside for nearly half an hour but they couldn't hear anything other than the people that had stopped moaning in pain.

The doctor and nurse wanted to go in, but White stopped them. By now, the rest of the hospital's management had arrived as well, but they couldn't go in once they heard that an SSS-ranked hunter was inside, they stopped as well.

They went and checked the cameras, but they saw nothing openly nefarious happening, so they all went back outside the room and waited.

Another 10 minutes went by and finally the door opened as Ning walked out with a relatively tired look on his face.

He saw the many people that were standing outside and gave a foolish smile. "My apologies. It took a bit longer than I imagined. You guys can go in now," he said.

The doctors and nurses quickly went in, while the hospital security kept Ning where he was just to ensure he hadn't done anything.

"It's a miracle!" the doctor shouted. "They're all healed."

The nurses started gossiping as well.

"No," Ning said. "They aren't healed. What I've done is not different from relieving the pressure from a swollen area. I haven't healed the injury itself."

"Then?" the doctor looked at him.

"They should be able to get up and go about their daily life, but they will once more fall ill in the future. Hopefully, by that time there will be a cure for their illness."
