I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

144 – Preparation for raiding the ruins – 3

“It’s from a book I read before. It’s pretty cute. hehehe. So I tried it, how about it?”

“Yes. Yes. Cute.”

She smiled brightly and ran her hand through her hair, which had drawn a V on it. She seemed to be in a good mood, and Yuchoa closed her eyes and smiled.

“hehehe~. This is good~.”

“That’s good.”

I like it because you like it. As I was stroking her soft hair, I heard the preliminary bell ring and removed her hand from her hair.

“Eh. Time has already passed like this…”

“Then see you later.”

“Ah… I can’t imagine being in a different class…”

Her shoulders drooped and I watched as Yu Choa trudged along. She looked behind her several times and waved her hand until she disappeared and I headed for the classroom.

“Hey! John! Did you hear the news?!”

As soon as I entered the classroom, Max approached me. By the way, this guy also took the test to challenge the ruins, so how did it go?

“What news?”

“The Enforcement Department said they defeated the A-class monster Dullahan this time.”

“Oh. Really?”

It seems that the executive branch is also working hard these days.

Durahan. It is an undead type of monster that boasts strong defense and attack power as a headless knight.

It was known to be quite strong among general A-class monsters, as it is a monster that is good at sword and shield skills and the headless horse it rides is a B-class monster.

But the executive department caught it?

“How? The Executive Director stepped forward?”

“No. I waited just in case, but I guess the executive members made an effort.”

“Oh…”

“Seonghwarin was at the center of it. The last time I failed to clear a red-grade dungeon, it seemed that the blow was great.”

“Ohhhhh. I see. So?”

“Because of that, it seems that there are many cadets who are swayed by the training proposed by the executive department or their policy.”

Because the current situation itself is not so good. It means that the mind is leaning towards the executive who is trying to show solid performance.

And if the number exceeds a certain number…

“I’m going to impeach you.”

“Well. That’s right. Anyway, everyone is anxious.”

In moments of crisis, you are bound to be led by the strong.

If the academy’s cadets lean towards the rising executive department in this way, a replacement of the student council president will be about to happen.

If Ryu Sena collapses like this, she will be in trouble. I patted Max on the shoulder.

“My friend. I trust you.”

“Huh? What?”

“It won’t go over to the executive, will it?”

“Is there any reason for me to go over there?”

“Friend!!”

“Oooh~!!”

I shook hands with Max roughly. And while we were strengthening our friendship, the back door of the classroom opened.

“Ohohohoho!! Good morning everyone!! By the way, John! Max! What are you two doing?!”

“We were building friendships. Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

“Yeah! Umm…Yeah! Friendships are such a good thing to see!! Hohohohoho!!”

After laughing, Elizabeth approached me and held out her hand. Huh? What?

“Isn’t it okay to do it with me if it’s to deepen the relationship?”

That’s right too. I took Elizabeth’s hand, and Elizabeth, who smiled slightly at me, moved her long fingers and grabbed me and hers. The long, pretty fingers between hers and hers move gently and caress the back of my hand.

“Whoop whoop! That’s great!”

“Yes. I’m glad you liked it.”

“Then shall we go back to our seats? Classes will begin soon…”

“What are you doing? You guys?”

Elizabeth, who was being led while holding my hand, pouted her lips in regret. So Jin Siyeon, the owner of the voice, shook her head in amazement and took my other hand. And she, like Elizabeth, put on her pods casually and said in a sullen voice.

“Are you thinking of leaving me alone?”

If you’re going to say that, look straight ahead and do it. Don’t talk blushing without even looking at me.

Anyway, he asked for an answer again, so I nodded.

“I can’t do that.”

“Huh. Yeah. Excellent.”

Then, satisfied and with a light smile, she returned to her seat. Elizabeth, who was watching it, let out a small sigh.

“I really can’t be bothered.”

“Ha ha ha…”

“It’s because Mr. Who is so popular. He’s unnecessarily charming. I apologize quickly.”

Elizabeth playfully grumbled as she sat down. If I just skip it, I’ll vomit.

“Sorry… Come to think of it, do you hate me because I’m attractive?”

“… Huh?”

“Say thank you for being attractive.”

“Mae, thank you for being charming… No, why is this happening like this?”

A confused Elizabeth clutches her head. By the time she saw her and giggled, the front door of her classroom opened.

“Did everyone come? Skip the attendance… How far did you go last time?”

Today’s morning class is an introduction to heritage studies. Staring at me as I take out the textbook, Kim Yeon-ha asked as if it were natural, and I looked at the page.

“Page 121. Ended with the understanding of the legend according to the occurrence of oriental ruins.”

“I see. Now, about the connection between the creation of ruins and the legend…”

Come on. Classes have started, so let’s practice our skills.

Ah. Today was a rewarding class. I got caught doing skill training and was asked several times, but it wasn’t a particularly difficult question, so I was able to answer easily.

Is it because he even trained his skills in such a difficult situation? Spirituality increased by 0.01. It couldn’t have been a really rewarding class.

I guess I’ll have to train hard in class like this in the future.

“We have to go now. Didn’t Johann say Master wasn’t there?”

“Yeah. So I’m mostly self-studying.”

Elisabeth said while they were having a meal together during lunchtime and taking a short break. I nodded her head slightly, and Jin Si-yeon gently wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

“Then, how about coming to Lake Dou? The scenery is nice and there are quite a few things to see.”

“Oh my God? If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Forest of Swords be better?!”

Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon looked at each other and said.

Um. I said I was doing a harem, but even so, the check inside doesn’t go away.

“I won’t tell you to get along well, but I hope you don’t fight.”

“Hohoho! What do you mean?! I and Siyeon are on good terms!”

“Yeah. Our relationship isn’t that bad. It’s just that we have different positions.”

Is that so? It seems like that when you see the two of them staring at each other so quickly getting killed…

“By the way, Choa didn’t come.”

“They said their class had an outside practice today. They say they eat lunch outside too?”

“Aha. I see.”

“Only Choa would have a hard time.”

That’s unavoidable.

I smile bitterly when I think of how sullen I was earlier in the morning.

“But I’ll be back in the afternoon.”

“But in the afternoon she’s going to Mr. Scarwee. Where are you going anyway?”

“Library. And I want to visit the association.”

“There will be no going to dungeons, monsters, or catching villains, right?”

He seemed worried that I might be overdoing it by myself. Seeing Jin Si-yeon’s serious expression, I immediately shook my head.

A buffer is a buffer only if you mess around with it. If there is such a thing, I plan to take the remaining personnel with me.

“It’s like a child left out by the water.”

“I mean!”

Um… I guess I’ve been a little too harsh. Be careful going forward.

While I was thinking, Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon stood up.

“I need to go now…”

“I was told to come a little early and get ready…”

“Ah. Yes. Goodbye.”

The two left and became alone.

I’m quite used to being alone now, but I could feel my body trembling slightly, probably from the warmth that had just happened.

Um. I’m done too. To be so weak

But leaning on the warmth of others isn’t all that bad…

“Let’s go soon.”

I put my hands in my pockets and headed to the library. The middle-aged librarian of the library greeted me with a smile, probably because I had been stopping by often these days.

“Welcome back. You’re here again.”

I said hello to him who greeted me with a smile and went inside.

I took out a book related to the capture of the ruins in the data reading room, which was not very crowded, and immediately opened the book.

The game strategy is in your head, but you also need to think about the strategy in reality.

If I make a mistake while giving instructions from behind, other people will get hurt.

In addition, now that the injured person could be my lover, so I have to concentrate a little more on it.

“You’re concentrating quite a bit. Your concentration is great today, isn’t it?”

“Oh.”

When I looked up, it was already getting dark outside. I didn’t notice the time passing because I was concentrating on the book.

“Isn’t it time to close this reading room? I’m sorry. Because of me…”

“hahahahaha! I’m a student who studies hard, but I’m sorry. Ah. If you think I’m really sorry, will you do me one favor?”

“Yes? What is it?”

“Seeing that you often read books about the ruins, you must be one of the new students who are going to visit the ruins soon. If you get a feather of a wind saengsu when you go to the Manisan ruins, could you bring it to me?”

The feather of a wind saengsu is a japtem that can be obtained by catching a wind saengsu. It’s not that hard, but…

“Of course, I’m not asking you to do it for free.”

He grinned and held up a book.

Huh? That…

“It’s a Pain Drain skill book. I got it by accident before, but there’s no place to use it. It seems to be more useful to you than to me.”

Pain Drain.

A skill that absorbs the damage and injuries of the target and adds them to himself, restoring the target accordingly.

It was one of the skills that characters with high stamina use when there is no healer.

“Oh… Then you should.”

“hahahaha. Don’t expect it.”

Exciting. It looks like I got a skill book every day.
