I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

110 – Raid – 1

“But John, do you know what this is?

“Isn’t that the feather of the blue bird that calls for the end? I think that’s what it sounds like.”

“Hey~! You’re recognizing me?”

The subtle aura contained in the feather itself was ominous just looking at it.

I looked up at the feather on Yoo Choa’s hand.

[Apocalyptic Blue Bird Feather Necklace]

[A necklace made from the feathers of blue birds that call for the end. It contains very little power to call the end.]

[Increase strength by 1]

[Increase HP by 1]

[Increase mana by 2]

[Continuous magic power reduction when equipped]

Except for the disadvantage that magic power continuously decreases when possessed, it is an item that can belong to the high class even in the relic class. Not up to the finest.

“I tried wearing it a while ago. It seems that the mana drained a lot. But the power contained seems to be unusual…”

“Where did you get it?”

“Ah. We went around the dungeon with the same party members earlier, and then there was a villain who attacked us.”

The main story progressed. Even in my absence, Choa Yoo was doing well.

“A villain. Do you know who he was?”

“It was a man named Taeak. He handled the ax terribly.”

Taeak. B-level villain.

As a villain belonging to the Blade of Dawn, he is also in a high position there.

You’re seriously wary of Choa Yoo and sending her person to get rid of her.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

“No. I was worried because I heard that I was attacked by a villain…”

“Huh? Ahahahahaha! Who cares about who? Whoa. Was this older sister that worried? Huh? Huh?”

With a mischievous smile, Yoo Choa put me on the shoulder. She touched her body naturally, and her nice scent tickled her nose.

“If you’re that worried, you could just stay with this older sister~. Huh? Huh?”

As she stroked my hair, Yuchoa continued her words in a playful voice.

Why is this guy who uses magical attacks so strong?

I barely got out of her arms and shook my head.

“I would love to do that.”

“Huh…? Really?”

“But since the academic schedule is also a schedule…”

“Then vacation time!”

“Huh?”

“Can you make time for me on vacation?”

It’s vacation time. After going to England with Elizabeth, I have to go to an uninhabited island with Jin Shi-yeon…

“When?”

“Around the last week. Actually, I got a call from Captain Oh Won-gu. Do you remember? That…”

“Ah. Yes. Isn’t that the combat unit commander I met at the association the other day?”

“hehehe. As expected, one memory is good.”

Yuchoa pulled out a piece of her paper from her bosom and held it out to me. When she checked, it was related to her raiding the ruins.

“Maybe it’s because her achievements in fighting the villains have been acknowledged, so she contacted me. Is she going to participate in the experience of raiding the ruins?”

This is also the main story. As her main story, she will be raiding the ruins for the first time for about a week.

I was able to get a lot of good equipment there.

“He said he was participating because it was a good opportunity. He said he could bring at least one person with him.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Can you go with me at that time? Uung. This older sister. I want Yohan to go with me~.”

He smiled and pricked my side. The power of the stab was getting stronger.

Um. It wouldn’t be bad to go with something. There are also equipment that can be made with materials obtained from the ruins.

“If you go with me, my sister will grant my John a wish.”

“Wish?”

“Yes.”

“Anything?”

“Anything.”

“Are you asking me to put a billion in cash into my bank account?”

“That, not that! With what I can do!”

The bewildered Yoo Choa exclaimed. What a waste. She asked if she could buy a skill book without worrying about money.

Anyway, if you can get one wish ticket from Yoo Choa and even items from ruins, it’s a good business.

“Yes. I’ll go with you.”

“Oh! That’s great! He’s a man as expected!”

While patting my back, Yoo Choa exclaimed happily.

“But why did you come to the lab? Is that why you came?”

“Ah. Yes. Originally, I showed it to the association, but they wrote a letter of introduction. They said it would be better to check with the research institute.”

I checked the letter of introduction I took out of my bag and nodded. It was like this in the main story too.

Here will be some investigation into the aura of the end.

“You?”

“I’m going to get a cure.”

“Ah… You don’t have a healer in your party, do you?”

“For now, I’m also a healer.”

“Foot.”

Did you laugh?!

Mmm. It’s a pity that I can’t refute that ridicule.

“hehehe~. Just kidding. He’s a better person than a healer.”

“Thank you for saying that. Anyway, let’s go.”

“hehehe~! Yes!”

It’s a fox. It’s a fox Yoo Choa sighed and clung to my side. When we arrived at Shin Haerang’s laboratory with her, he greeted us with a tired face as always.

“Oh~. The juniors are here. But are there two of you today?”

“I met you in front of me earlier.”

“Really? Well anyway. Did you come to get the cure?”

“Yes. Here… I’ll probably keep coming for a while.”

“Ohhh. That’s fortunate. We also ran out of energy cores.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah. You heard about the black dungeon, right?”

“Yes.”

“Two S-class heroes are vacant right now. So, as if they knew that there was a gap in their power, the villains went on a rampage. To block that, the number of heroes raiding dungeons decreased, and the supply of energy cores decreased.”

He let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

“Anyway, they say we have to kill all the villains. Especially these days, those who are called the Blade of Dawn or something are more rampant… Tsk.”

“hahahaha. I can’t help it.”

“Yes. It can’t be helped. Anyway, I’m bringing the energy core like this when I’m in a hurry. I’ll give you some more.”

“Oh! Thank you!”

“What. Thanks to you, the speed of research is getting faster. If I do more research, I might be able to create a cure with a higher recovery rate.”

If you use it a lot in the game, things will get better.

“How much more do I have to bring?”

“Let’s see… With twenty more advanced energy cores, I think we can make something better than what we have now.”

“Okay. I’ll have it by this week.”

“Okay. Then I’m in the mood too. If you bring me twenty, I’ll take care of three new and ten old ones.”

It’s a request. It’s not bad.

“Wouldn’t you be busy collecting advanced energy cores like that? Whoops. Can my sister help me?”

“Huh? No, it’s okay.”

Since we still have to match the sum of the party, it seemed like there would be no problem if we went back to the party now. That’s why I refused, and Yoo Choa pursed her lips.

“Sheesh.”

“And you guys have to come together. I’m sorry to ask you to come.”

“You don’t have to be sorry…”

“If Cheon Su-ho finds out, he might try to kill me.”

“Ahahahaha. I will. I was very excited about Suho these days.”

Even if you won first place last time, you’re not going to let your guard down. Will it be able to carry on with it to the end?

“Okay. See you then.”

Since this side’s business is over, now it’s time to go see Yoo Choa’s business. When she arrived with her at her central lab, the researcher who checked her letter of introduction led us to the basement.

“The core research is going on underground.”

“Really? Which ones…”

“Things like dummies and golems. And… I’m researching monsters.”

Monster Study.

This is a study conducted in each country. Why did the monsters appear and how do dungeons occur?

To investigate them and give strength to the heroes.

When we arrived at the lab on the second basement floor, the researcher who opened the door with the card key stepped back. Are we going to go alone from here?

When I went inside with Yoo Choa, there was someone waiting for me.

“Come on, let’s go. I’m Yuchun Kang, the director of this research institute.”

It was an old man. He looked at us alternately and then smiled.

“I heard that the cadets of the fortress academy are active. I guess that’s you guys?”

“Ah. Yes. Did you hear the news?”

“Yeah. They say the mad dog has an eye on you guys. Now. You said you had something to show me, didn’t you?”

“Ah. Yes. Here.”

Yuchoa held out her feather necklace. Kang Yuchun, who received it and looked at it for a while, groaned with a serious expression.

“This… Is the blue bird’s feather that brings about the end.”

“Huh? You know?”

“Yeah. I’ve seen it before.”

What I took out of the drawer was a paper.

“About the power of the end?”

“Yes. It is the result of studying the feathers obtained while chasing the blue bird that called the apocalypse after the wave occurred in the past.”

“I’ve never seen a paper like this…”

“I bet. It’s not finished yet. While working on that feather… Quite a few people died.”

“Huh? Why?”

“It’s because the power of the apocalypse ran out of control.”

Speaking in a voice full of bitterness, he stared at the necklace in his hand.

“I thought I would never do research again after that… Honey. Could you give this to me?”

“Ah. Yes. But it has the effect of absorbing mana.”

“I bet. It’s one of the powers of the end. A very strong, very greedy power.”

“I see… Yes. I’ll give it to you.”

Yuchoa nodded her head, and Kang Yuchun smiled kindly and took something out of her drawer.

It was a necklace.

“This is…”

“For allowing me to challenge my lifelong wish again… I may not be able to repay you, but please accept it.”

Huh? That…

“Isn’t this the blue dragon’s necklace?!”

Blue dragon necklace.

Greatly increases the amount of magic power and gives a bonus to attacks using magic power. In addition to that, it is one of the finest artifacts with a high rate of increase in other stats and even skills.

“Such a precious thing…”

“It’s no more precious than fulfilling my lifelong longing. If it’s really burdensome… Next time you get this feather, bring it to me.”

“Uh… Yes. I see.”

“And you.”

“Yes?”

“Seeing that they came all the way here together, it doesn’t seem like they’re on a normal relationship, but please help that child. Of course, I’ll make sure to repay you separately.”

Of course I will.

When I nodded, Choa Yoo, who was next to me, trembled.

“Aha. Ah. Oh, ha. Ha. Muh, what! What normal! Not normal!! Ga, why are you saying that all of a sudden?! Ahahahahaha! We’re just friends… Hwa, sure Although we get along well!”

“No, I just asked if he was a good colleague.”

At his bewildered words, Yoo Choa’s face turned bright red as if it would burst at any moment.
