I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

149 – Effects of Equipment – 4

In the end, Ki-ryeol didn’t get what he wanted. The other guys comforted the guy whose shoulders were drooping as if he was really disappointed, and we finished organizing and went outside.

“What can I do to get points?”

“I’m collecting points because I have a place to use them…”

“Where are you going to spend it? Don’t you have a lot of points?”

I know Jo Ki-yeol went to the dungeon almost every day off, right?

“Not that much. I’ve changed it a few times with money.”

Then I can’t help it.

Anyway, we went to the association to exchange energy cores and items obtained from dungeons, and we shared points on the spot.

Of course I didn’t get what I wanted.

“Then dissolution?”

“That’s right. I’ll go first.”

As Ki Joon-yeol left after stretching lightly, the remaining people also scattered to do their own business.

Naturally left alone, I went into the synthesis room after purchasing additional materials from the auction house next to the synthesis room in the basement and using the points to get materials from the association.

There was no one inside the large synthesis room.

Okay. Shall we start right away?

I put all the prepared ingredients into the synthesizer.

When the synthesizer is activated while checking the warning that a wrong combination may result in failure, the ingredients inside begin to be wrapped in light with a low vibration sound.

Do you want to be? Do you want to

-Ughhh…!!

The vibrating sound intensified once more, then completely subsided.

The ingredients filled inside were nowhere to be found, and only one ring stained red was revealed.

[Third Qualification to Replenish Magical Power]

[A ring made with a recipe left by an antique witch.

When worn, it increases the natural recovery rate of magical power and increases the total amount of magical power in proportion to the amount of magical power possessed.

Attack power increases when worn with other antique witch equipment.]

[Increase mana by 10%]

[Increased magic recovery speed]

[Increase attack power using magical power]

[Muscle strength 0.1 Decrease]

It was a delicate red ring. I took a look at the ring, which has a simple charm without any special decorations, and nodded my head.

That’s it. What you want is made.

The third qualification to replenish mana.

As the name suggests, it is a set item. Collecting all five sets increases the power of magic attacks, but no one actually uses all five together.

Because it was better to wear other equipment than to get the effect of that set item.

Currently, my buffs are mainly composed of physical buffs.

As such, there aren’t that many buffs that can be given to Yu Choa, who focuses on magical attacks, so it would be better to somehow make her stronger with her equipment.

“Are you finished?”

“Oh yes.”

While I was thinking about the ring in front of the synthesizer, other heroes came in.

Watching them put the ingredients into the synthesizer, I bought a small box from the supply store. After putting the ring in it, the terminal rang when I came out.

[Ah~! I got scolded by Instructor Kim Yeon-ha! Comfort me!]

It just went well. I have to give you this.

I immediately sent a reply asking to see you later in the evening, and the reply came back in an instant.

[eeeing! Let’s see now! Comfort me now!!]

There’s nothing you can do about it.

When I said I would wait at the academy gate and put the terminal in my pocket, I was about to leave.

“Hmm? Hello.”

I met a familiar face at the door. Oh Won-goo, the A-class hero, the mad dog. He was a hero belonging to the association that he met with Choa the other day.

“Ah. Hello.”

“Oh. Yes. It was Yohan Kim, right? That’s great. Do you have time?”

“Ah. I had a prior appointment…”

“I’m not going to take it for very long, so I’d like you to give me a minute.”

If you’re going to do this, why are you asking?

I sent a message to Yoo Choa to wait a little longer.

“What’s up?”

“It’s kind of hard to say here. Go inside.”

Looking around, he took me into a small room on the first floor. Sitting on a chair in a soundproof room, he took out a can of soda from his bag and held it out.

“Listen while drinking. Choa Yoo said that you would go to the ruins together?”

“Yes.”

Yoo Choa decided to join the raid led by this person during summer vacation. And then I decided to go too.

“I don’t know if you know… There’s a story that they’re targeting Yuchoa in The Blade of Dawn.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Ah. Is that so? Then let’s get to the main topic. Please be careful as the story we are sharing from now on should not be leaked out. You may…”

“……?”

“Do you know Azazel?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. I don’t know. Azazel is… Huh?”

“I heard from Scarwe before.”

“Oh dear. To him? Then you should have heard more. Yes. If you’ve heard about Azazel, that’s fine. You’ve heard that the Society has been looking for Azazel for a long time, right?”

When the first apocalypse came, mankind was able to avoid it thanks to Azazel. But after that, Azazel disappeared, and the Association has been looking for Azazel for a long time.

“And I’ve found some traces. If I investigate more, maybe I’ll be able to meet Azazel in person.”

“I see. Thank you.”

“Yes, fortunately. Anyway, if you know about Azazel, I have nothing else to tell you.”

“Ah. Was that what you meant to tell me?”

Me again. I thought you already found Azazel’s location.

In the game, the association’s investigation continues, and eventually it is learned that Azazel is trapped in a ruin that can only be entered under special conditions.

In the meantime, you will be qualified to enter the ruins when you have been recognized by the association by filling the true ending points.

And then, she meets Azazel, gets information about her end, and her true ending route is confirmed.

If you’re Yu Choa now, if you fill up the points when catching Eon Ju-young, you’ll be able to meet that condition.

Then if you start preparing for summer vacation, you might be able to go there by the time it’s over.

“Yes.”

“Okay… Thank you.”

“Hmm. They say Azazel was a great buffer. If you ever get to meet him, I’m sure he’ll be of some help to you too.”

I guess so. It will definitely be of great help.

“Anyway, I’m sorry I took up your time. I didn’t know you’d already heard from Mr. Scarwe.”

“hahahahaha. But thank you for thinking about it.”

“Kuhmm. Well, with something like this. Anyway, I have very high expectations for you guys. I heard that the growth rate of the freshmen at this academy is very amazing. As expected, the weight is fair.”

The chaos caused by the appearance of the blue bird calling the end.

However, the appearance of talented people who can calm the confusion.

A deep smile hung on Oh Won-gu’s lips as if he liked it.

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

I said goodbye to him and left the association, standing still and thinking.

The search he said may not be far away. That means it won’t be long before she meets Azazel.

Come on. Then let me do my best.

-Titling!

[I have arrived!]

Yu Choa, who took a picture of herself with her gate in the background, sent her message. She is

She is very cute when she wears her cadet uniform and smiles.

Anyway, you take really good selfies. What else is she learning?

Anyway, if she arrived now, I would be able to meet her right away.

I took the gate and went straight to the academy. When she got there, she saw her snuggling with her back against her boulevard.

“Ah! John~!!”

Yuchoa ran to me as soon as she saw me and clung to me with her characteristic natural smile.

The skinship is very natural now.

“Are you scolded a lot?”

“Yeah!! I’m so depressed, I need to eat something! Let’s go!”

Then he grabbed my hand and forcibly led me to the gate.

She smiles too brightly for being depressed… Choa Yoo I’m worried that her unique brightness might be covering her insides.

If people hide too much, that would be a burden. I hope that one day she will share with me the pain that is inside her.

“Where are you going?”

“hehehe~. I know another place!”

The place I went with Choa Yoo was a small cafe in Seoul.

Entering a cafe in a corner where there are not many people, she raised her hand.

“Hello!”

“Welcome?”

It was a cafe run by a calm-looking middle-aged woman alone. Stepping into the cafe with the strong coffee aroma, she smiled at me and said,

“Sit over there! I’ll get it right away!”

How long had she been waiting in the window seat? I glanced at it and saw that Yoo Choa was making something inside.

Seeing her owner happy beside her, it seems she is making her drink.

She worked hard for a while, then lifted her head slightly and met her eyes with me, and she smiled brightly. She then lifted what she was making below and put it on a plate and came over.

“Tada!”

It was a cup with a heart drawn on it with latte art.

As she held it out proudly, she smiled brightly.

“hehehe. It’s my heart.”

“Yes. Thank you. But is yours the same?”

“Yeah! I’m going to think it’s your heart! Oh! Don’t get me wrong! I didn’t make this because I didn’t know how to make hearts yet!!”

It would have been better if it wasn’t for the back remarks. She took a latte and took a sip.

You deserve to be proud. Really delicious.

“By the way, where have you been?”

“I stopped by the association after going to the dungeon. Anyway, how did you get scolded? Is it because of the fight earlier?”

“Well, there’s that too~.”

“Ah. Yes. I’ll give you what I met now.”

“Huh?”

I held out the box in my pocket.

Surprised, Yoo Choa’s eyes widened when she received it.

“…This. What is it? What, what does it mean?”

As she took out the ring from the box and saw her face burning red, I said calmly.

“I don’t have enough of my buffs for you. Get your gear at least. And if you have this, it will be helpful when fighting Seonghwarin.”

“…Heh, heh. Did you mean that?”

“Does it mean anything else?”

“Ah. That. Uh. Hey. hehehe… Ki, can you put it on??”

It’s not difficult. I lifted her ring and tried to grab her middle finger, but Yuchoa smirked and held out her left ring finger.

“Put it in here!”

“Not here.”

“…Huh? Why?”

Anxiety appeared on Yoo Choa’s face as if she hadn’t expected my answer. I said, putting the ring on the middle finger of her left hand as she looked at her with her quivering eyes.

“Because you have to put a ring that is used for other purposes instead of this equipment. Please wait a little longer here.”

“Ahhh…! Hey, is that a promise…? hehehe. Heh. Ehehehe~!”

It’s a face that’s been loose and hesitant. He usually smiles, but it’s a smile that looks more joyful. She was bent like a full moon so I couldn’t see her eyes, but I could see that her gaze was warmer than before.

Yes. I’m glad you like it.
