I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

189 – Selection Test – 3

That was all I was evaluated for. Even if I want to be evaluated more, this is all I can do.

If I had to argue, there would be instructions according to the situation, but there are people who are better at it than I am, so there’s no need to evaluate it.

“So am I done?”

“Yes. I guess you could say that I was included in the number of people who cleared the black dungeon this time.”

Jin Ho-rang nodded her head calmly and then took something from her pocket and held it out. When she received it, it was an equipment and material exchange voucher.

“If you need anything to clear the black dungeon, get it.”

“Ah. Thank you.”

Good. It’s time to change the equipment, so I’ll have to change it. I also have the 1st class equipment exchange coupon I received before, so I need to pack a few things this time.

After answering each and every one of those who greeted me saying let’s do better in the future, I headed straight to the basement of the association. Perhaps because quite a few heroes were taking the selection test, the inside of the association was quiet.

Therefore, unlike usual, there were no people in the place where equipment and materials could be exchanged, and I was able to leisurely browse through the catalog…

Huh?! What’s this?!

“Was the Bow of Gehenna something you could get as a token?”

“Ah. People who visited the ruins the other day donated. They said they got a better bow, so the association asked to use it.”

In other words, it is a used product. But still, if it’s about the Gehenna’s bow, it’s pretty useful. That’s because this is a relic.

However, it could not be exchanged with only the first-class equipment exchange coupon. I think I can barely get it if I use the points I have now and the material exchange coupon…

Um… Um… Eight!

“Can I exchange it for voucher points? Please convert all of these into points. And the Gehenna Bow.”

“Okay.”

I handed out all the vouchers I had. After exchanging it for points, it became a considerable amount, but it also quickly reached the bottom.

As a result, what came into my hand was a well-rounded bow in pitch black with red patterns engraved on it.

[Gehenna’s Bow]

[A bow imbued with the power of hellfire. If your own arrows do not exist, you can create arrows using hellfire.]

[Increase dexterity by 1.5]

[Increase Spirit by 1]

[Available to use Infernal Arrows]

[When using hellfire arrows, there is a low chance of abnormal status – get burned]

Hellfire arrows literally refer to arrows filled with the flames of hell. I grabbed Gehenna’s bow and pulled the string. Despite the empty demonstration, flames soared at the moment, creating an arrow made of black flames.

Wow! After all, it’s a relic!

“You shouldn’t shoot here.”

“Oh, I see.”

I saw Gehenna’s bow after dispelling the hellfire arrows. This is pretty precious, but who did the good thing of donating it to the Society?

This is true. I’m just grateful.

“Can I know who the donor is?”

“You donated anonymously, so I can’t reveal it.”

Sorry. I was going to go and say hello later.

But the important thing is that the bow of Gehenna came into me. I used quite a lot of points, but it was not regrettable. It’s enough to collect points, but Gehenna’s bow was one of the most difficult equipment to obtain.

Exciting~!

I hummed and went upstairs, and then the phone rang.

– John! Where are you?!

It was Yoo Choa. She also had a pretty bright voice, probably because her test was over.

“My association’s main building.”

– Why did you go there? Anyway, I’m done too, so wait a little bit!

How long has it been since I waited in a chair on the first floor of the association’s main building? Choa Yoo entered through the door of the main building. Seeing that she smiles, it seems that she has received good reviews.

“How was it?”

“Pass!”

Smiling confidently as she made a V with her fingers, she casually sat down next to me. Then she looked at the bow in my hand and tilted her head.

“What is that? It looks good?”

“Ah. I was lucky.”

I explained to her how she got the Bow of Gehenna, and Euchoa showed her her own Orb in her amazement.

“Whoops. So we’re a relic couple?!”

“Huh? Is that how it works?”

Come to think of it, Yuchoa’s Orb of Fire is also a relic. It’s not wrong to say that she has equipment of the same relic class.

“Whoop whoop…”

“Ah. But since Siyeon is an artifact of the Dark Moon…”

“Ugh. I’m sorry. Yohan. You don’t want to use an orb, do you?”

“Unfortunately, that equipment doesn’t work for me.”

If an orb has the effect of increasing mental strength, I would wear it as much as I like, but that is magic-specific equipment, so it doesn’t go well with me.

She pouted her lips in regret and shook her foot slightly on her chair.

“Eh. Should I like the one with the right attributes… But what about the other?”

“I think the dealer side will take quite a while… I’m curious about the healer and tank side.”

I am especially worried about Cheonsu Lake. He’s a good tanker too, but you can’t ignore the other tanks either.

“So you’re saying Suho could fall?”

“I can’t say no.”

It’s better to go with someone you know, but I don’t know what to say since this is similar to Hero Academia.

While I was resting and waiting with Yoo Choa, a message arrived.

[Damn it.]

It must have fallen. I told Chun Su-ho’s message where we were and he came up with a puzzled face.

“I went all the way to the end, but in the end, Mr. Ko Hee-joo, a lost soul, joined me.”

“Ah. Is that so?”

Go Hee-joo is a tanker who is said to have an S-class in front of him. It seems that Cheon Soo-ho had nothing to say as the equipment was good and the ability was verified.

“Hey. But that’s good enough.”

“Sorry. Tsk.”

Chun Soo-ho must have known that much, so he didn’t show much dissatisfaction.

However, there are still many black dungeons, so you can try again later.

Especially since this guy’s goal is an elixir, he won’t give up just because he fell this time.

“But what happened to you guys?”

“It stuck.”

“Me too.”

We were almost in a situation where we were accepted. As Yoo Choa and I put our arms around each other and talked, Cheon Suho let out a deep sigh.

“Whew. By the way, I’d like the other guys to join me…”

“Oops. I fell too.”

I heard Serenia’s lively voice. I turned her head and saw her grinning towards me. However, her expression is quite bright considering she has fallen.

“You fell, what’s wrong with your expression?”

“Ah. Another person from the Vatican joined.”

Serenia called out to the benevolent old man standing behind her. A stout old man in a black priestly robe smiled at us.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Peter of the Vatican.”

“Peter… Are you Bishop Peter of the Vatican?!”

Me, Cheon Soo-ho, and Yoo Cho-ah couldn’t help but be surprised.

This person will do that too.

He is an S-class hero.

He is also an outstanding scholar, especially in the Vatican.

“Why did the bishop…”

“hahahahaha. They say there are demons in the Black Dungeon. How can we stay still when the Lord’s enemies are there? We are participating in this test every time according to the Pope’s instructions.”

Ah. I see. However, I did not know that Bishop Peter would come this time.

“Brother Bress contacted me. He said the possibility was very high this time. So he asked us to send full force from the Vatican as well.”

He said with his characteristic leisurely and benevolent smile and fixed his eyes on me and Yoo Choa.

“I heard that Brother Kim Yohan and Sister Yoo Choa would be of great help.”

“I don’t know how helpful we can be. Ehehehe…”

“Anyway, I’ll do my best.”

He smiled at our answer and went outside. Watching him greet others, I asked Serenia.

“If you knew Bishop Peter was coming, wouldn’t it have been better for you not to challenge?”

“I didn’t know either. I was surprised that he came in so suddenly.”

“Oh… Anyway. We’ll have a good trip, so be patient.”

“Ugh… I thought that if I succeeded in clearing the black dungeon, I wouldn’t be scolded by the nun, even if I drank for a while…”

“Go somewhere else. Somewhere else.”

There are quite a few dungeons and ruins with demons anyway. In particular, some places also have elixirs, so you have to attack them even for Cheonsuho.

At that time, make sure to bring Serenia with you.

“Ah?! It looks like the dealership is over.”

I heard Yoo Choa’s voice. Looking at the place she pointed to, she sees the people who were in the exam hall earlier coming out. There are no faces I know among the people who come out.

– Tring! Tring!

[Stuck!]

[Attached.]

I read a message from Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon. I let out a sigh of relief at the clear content. Also, the two are stuck.

“It’s fortunate. By the way, what happened to the president and the executive director?”

“Why don’t you ask them?”

Well, you must have taken the same dealer test. I immediately asked Elizabeth, and after a while the answer arrived.

[The chairman and executive director also joined.]

Joo Sae-hee, the executive director, is participating in the Black Dungeon Attack Team…

There was nothing unusual about it. If it was her skills, she seemed to be able to stick well.

“By the way, this raid is great. How many academy cadets are there?”

Chairman Ryu Se-na and executive director Joo Se-hee are said to be active at the same level as active duty, but academy cadets are cadets anyway.

And me, Choa Yoo, Elizabeth, and Siyeon Jin are also students.

As many as six people were included in the assault party.

“Is this okay…”

As Cheonsuho crossed her arms and muttered, Yuchoa saw me.

It won’t be a particular problem.

As long as you defeat the boss that will appear after killing the dividing slime, the black dungeon will be over.

Let’s think positively. Good.
