I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

Chapter 11

11 – Dungeon Practice – 2

Tomorrow’s class. Anyway, there are still classes this afternoon. My heart was pounding with anticipation, but I couldn’t just blow away the precious class time for skill training.

That’s why I calmly listened to the class.

Fortunately, no one pointed me out.

Of course, I was asked questions, but I answered well and listened to the class, so there should be no problem.

At the end of such a rewarding day of classes, a student from the same class posted a notice in front of the classroom.

I went to see if it was related to tomorrow’s dungeon practice, but it wasn’t like that.

“Join the club…”

Hero Academia did not simply follow the school schedule, but entered various clubs or research groups, met other characters, and went through events or quests related to them.

A maximum of two per person is allowed. Of course, you can do one thing or not at all, but doing it is beneficial.

Because there are rewards everywhere and if you don’t, you’ll just recover your physical strength.

Perhaps there is no difference in reality.

“John. Where are you going?”

Colombo, who still looks awkward in Korean, spoke up.

His eyes sparkled as he clenched his fists.

“If you’re a man, it’s shield art. Would you like to go to the Shield Research Club?”

“No.”

I get scolded if Buffer steps out and tugs.

“Then, how about the Japanese Culture Study Group?”

Satsuki walked out a little and smiled brightly. The Japanese Culture Research Society.

If you join there, there was an event where you go to Japan later.

There are also skills and equipment that can be obtained by going to Japan, so it’s not a bad suggestion… But that’s a low priority because you can get there by other means.

“Ohohohoho!! Then why don’t you join the tea club with me?!”

Black Tea Club.

Hero Academy is located in Korea, but it is a promising educational institution with visitors from all over the world.

If you look at Elizabeth, a British aristocrat right now, isn’t it?

As such, it wasn’t that there were no nobles or holy men among the other cadets, and the tea club was prepared for them.

It’s actually just a group to join in order to get along well with the superiors, and joining there is…

“You can only belong to a family with a certain level or higher. I’m not.”

“Oh.”

Elizabeth, flustered like a retriever who accidentally bites the owner while playing a joke, said, ‘My, what did I say… How could a noble person dig into the other person’s heart so severely…’ Started to tremble

“Hey. I’m fine.”

“No, but…”

While she was depressed, some people around her talked about clubs or research groups she would go to, but the first option I had to choose was the archery club ‘Bow’.

No matter how much I aim to be a ramen buffer, shouldn’t I have to pay for the meal as long as I haven’t met Azazel and acquired the aptitude for strengthening?

With the buffs given at the current level, shooting an arrow from the back and dragging it with moderate aggro, it will pay for the meal.

And the rest…

“Manri Chujonghyang? Not a bad choice.”

Manlichujonghyang.

The only hunting club in Hero Academy.

That hunt is by no means an old-fashioned hunt for noble people.

If you join here as a kind of service club to catch the monsters rampaging in various places, the financial rewards are small, but you can really accumulate a lot of combat experience.

Especially, this was the best place to master skills.

“Are you sure?”

In addition, buff skill books are given out during events and quests that occur in Manlichujonghyang.

This is essential.

“I’m thinking of joining here too.”

Jin Si-yeon nodded her head slightly. Five. She still has someone she knows.

“It’s a hunting club… Not bad…”

Elizabeth, who was still feeling a bit depressed before I knew it, came up behind me and said,

“That’s because it’s okay.”

“But… This is not the attitude of an aristocrat, and it’s not something a person can do…”

No matter how many times I said it, it seemed that her sorry feelings could not be resolved.

I just can’t get past this.

“If you do something, buy me a meal later.”

“Um. Well then… I get it! Let’s make a proper apology in a nice place!”

I feel better now. Certainly, he just always looks good with a smile.

I turned her head back to Jin Si-yeon, and she was staring at her own childhood friend with her strange expression.

“…Hmm. Well, it doesn’t matter. By the way, there is a joining test for Mallichu Jonghyang. Don’t forget that.”

I know.

Manlichujonghyang can only be entered by those with some level of skill, as there is a risk of being dragged by a fisherman and attacked by monsters.

“Oh?! Are you worried about me? This Elizabeth Taylor?”

“Not you.”

Jin Shi-yeon stared at me and shook her head.

“During the entrance test, the party is assigned by lottery. No matter how good your skills are, if you’re unlucky, you can fall out.”

“Oh…”

“But if you want, I can look after you.”

Jin Si-yeon put her hand on my shoulder, and Elizabeth held my hand.

“Are we friends?!”

Ha ha ha. These guys. Ha ha ha.

But can you let me go?

Because you’re about to get sick?

I didn’t get an offer to train the two together.

First of all, the training Elizabeth suggested is strength training. That’s three times the usual.

And Jin Shi-yeon’s proposal was unlimited sparring.

Of course, with the two lead characters, the stats would increase quite a bit, but that’s not a problem right now.

[Name: Yohan Kim]

[Rank: F]

[Ability: Healing]

[Strength: 1.23]

[HP: 1.51]

[Agility: 1.3]

[Dexterity: 1.1]

[Spirit: 3.00]

[Sacred power: 0.55]

[Possessed Skills]

Heel

The Diamond Sutra

Blessings of the Holy Spirit

Twilight Shadow

Thanks to all the hard work so far, I finally got my mental strength to 3.

Surprisingly, the Holy Power increased by 0.01. The other stats are still up by 0.1.

Aptitude Why is that healing?

Originally, when an aptitude is healed, it almost always receives a bonus to holy power.

Anyway, if you want to enter Manlichujonghyang right away, you need to have basic combat skills, so the first thing you need to do is join an archery circle and improve your archery skills.

It would be nice to just use the buff teeth, but I haven’t learned the buff that increases dexterity yet, so it can’t be that way…

“Whew.”

Let’s think positively.

If you’re thinking of going to a dungeon anyway, you should train in archery.

– Trainee Kim Yo-han. Enter the Archery Training Center.

As I put my cadet card into the device, the door to the archery range opened and I saw other cadets practicing.

Among them, no one used the practice bow provided at the training ground.

Everybody is using a personal bow.

Actually, that’s right.

Originally, weapons are more effective when they are familiar with them.

It’s not me, so I’m just using a bow for practice.

It’s like f*cking capitalism!!

“Is he going to do that?”

“But the posture is killing me…”

“You’re trying to prove… That craftsmen don’t choose weapons?”

Is this posture that good?

Even just performing the posture I learned from the chairman the other day is stinging the eyes of the people around me.

Anyway… A shot!

– Missed!

“…Only the posture was good.”

“I see. Isn’t he Yohan? I heard he’s a healer with low healing? His aptitude is healing, but can he shoot an arrow well…”

What kind of Udyr-class attitude shift do you mean?

The gaze that was focused on me just now disappeared every time my arrow missed the target.

All but one.

“That bow.”

“Huh?”

“The ends of the string are tied wrong. And out of balance.”

“Huh? Why are you here?”

It was Jin Shi-yeon.

I didn’t see it because I was sitting alone in the corner. Why is the kid who uses the sword at the bow and arrow practice range?

“Give me that bow.”

She took the practice bow I was holding and looked around, then nodded her head. And that bow.

-Wow!!

From nob le mt l. co m

No, it’s a bachelor’s equipment, can I break it like that?

“This is a bow.”

Muttering in a voice mixed with irritation, she picked out one of her practice bows and held it out to me.

“Because he has a good posture. Cultivate an eye for the bow.”

“Uh. Yes. Thank you. Hey.”

“Okay. I just didn’t want to see my archery insulted.”

“Do you know how to use a bow? Do you think there is something about archery?”

“I used to use a bow. I gave up the bow because I thought the sword suited me better than the bow. But I’m still doing it as a hobby.”

It was a voice filled with longing for some reason.

“Who?”

“She was a close sister… Ha. Why did I tell you this? It’s okay. Are you training?”

Speaking in her characteristic sardonic tone, she returned to her seat, and I tried to draw a new bowstring.

Hit!

Certainly, you can’t ignore equipment.

The next day, instead of going to the classroom in the main building as usual, I moved to the gate to participate in the dungeon practice.

“Huh? Are you Yohan Kim?”

“Welcome.”

There were quite a few cadets using the gate, and among them there was a familiar face.

It was Colombo, who was in the same group last time, and Max, who was third in the class.

“Today’s dungeon practice? I’m looking forward to it!”

“Hmm. It’s my first time going to a dungeon…”

It’s my first time too.

However, Max seemed to be conceited somehow.

“I’ve been there a few times. It reminded me of dungeons. You guys know what? There are mysterious dungeons in dungeons?”

“…Aren’t dungeons originally mysterious?”

“Oh, no. It’s not like that. There’s a dungeon with infinite beer…”

“Wow. We shouldn’t destroy that dungeon…”

“Are there any dungeons with snacks?”

We went straight through the gate, making a lot of nonsense, and when we went outside the gate facility, we were greeted by a different landscape than we had seen before.

The Hero Academy is located on an artificial island in the West Sea. Most of the living facilities are provided on the island, so once the cadets enter, they do not leave the island unless there is something special.

One of those special things was the dungeon practice, and it was the beginning of Chapter 1 of the main story.

As if to prove that, at the training facility in Gangwon-do we arrived through the gate, there were quite a few first-year students gathered at the entrance ceremony.

How long has it been since we went to where our class was and waited?

Kim Yeon-ha went up to the podium to see if everyone was on.

“Now! Attention! I won’t tell you to go into the dungeon right away. It’s dangerous to go into the dungeon with first year students. Now, this is the team formation.”

This time, there was no talk of making it yourself.

That’s nice.

I received the documents provided from the front row to the back and checked them…

“Oh! We’re on the same team again!”

Elizabeth next to me was on the same team. Showing her wide smile and her fists clenched, she turned her eyes to Jin Si-yeon, who crossed her arms and only snorted at her.

“But why only two?”

One of the cadets raised his hand and asked. As if trying to answer that question, Kim Ha-yeon pointed towards her gate.

“No matter how artificial it is, it’s a dungeon, so you can’t just send freshmen. I called people to join me.”

After her explanation, people come out of the gate as if they had made an appointment.

“Wow. Senior Shin Jeong-cheol!”

“Senior Kang Soo-oh is there too!”

The second and third year students come out of the gate.

They brought equipment and moved toward us one by one with a grin.

“……”

I couldn’t take my eyes off the crimson-haired woman who was coming this way.

“It’s been a while.”

Everyone kept their mouths shut when she appeared.
