I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy
Chapter 68
68 – End of midterm exam – 1
Just as dawn comes after twisting a chicken’s neck, the time to challenge the second dungeon to evaluate the remaining skills of the midterm exam has arrived.
And when I entered the dungeon as a party like last time, I couldn’t help but cry.
“Mook Nya!!”
Mook, a monster that can be seen when entering the lowest grade green dungeon.
That is. This dungeon is just a normal dungeon.
“I can’t aim for the highest point here.”
Muttered Colombo in a voice full of disappointment. The current 1st place was Yuchoah’s team, and they were a dungeon with monsters of a higher level.
In other words, no matter how hard you try here, it’s hard to get the highest score.
“The test is all about luck. Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Jung Si-ho was equally dissatisfied. But what can I do? I’ll have to try one more chance.
Anyway, it wasn’t too difficult, so I was able to clear the dungeon without any problems.
When we came out of the dungeon with nothing to gain except an energy core, Kim Yeon-ha, who had been waiting for us, smiled as soon as she saw us.
“It must have been an ordinary green grade dungeon.”
“Yes. But isn’t it a bit like the midterm exam is decided by luck? I’d rather try the blue grade!”
“There was a story like that, but in the third dungeon, I’m going to try to challenge the blue grade. But…”
What would you do if you entered the blue level and a monster with a higher level appeared?
Will you take the risk and attack the dungeon, or give up and leave?
If you take the risk and succeed in clearing the dungeon, you will get a higher score, but if you give up, you won’t get any points.
As Kim Yeon-ha continued to explain, I saw Yuchoa’s team coming out of the dungeon.
“Ugh. It was a plain green grade…”
It’s the same over there.
But it’s later than us…
“I guess the undead didn’t come out this time?”
“It’s too bad. The Lord didn’t give me a chance to fight this time.”
Serenia responded with a sullen expression and crossed her name.
Come on. Then the rest is Elizabeth’s team…
Seeing that they came out later than Yuchoa’s team, it must have been high-level monsters.
“For the next raid, we plan to go into the blue rank… What are you guys going to do?”
“Blue grade? Is it okay to enter?”
“It’s okay for applicants only.”
Instructor Kim Yeon-ha nodded, and Yoo Choa thought for a moment before looking at her teammates. But she all shakes her head.
“If a higher level monster appears in the blue level, it can be dangerous if it is not undead.”
“Yeah. I don’t think so either.”
“I want to take on the challenge?! If it’s about Jeokrang, I’ll be able to endure it.”
Two against, one in favor?
Listening to their opinions, Choa Yoo smiled bitterly.
“I think it makes sense that we should just aim for the green rank.”
“Avoiding unnecessary risks is also a hero’s judgment. Courage is good, but it’s better not to be reckless.”
Kim Yeon-ha, who was listening to the story, also nodded.
“Then it looks like there’s still time until the other guys come out… Shall we give a brief lecture? I’m going to give a lecture on how to fight against the mage, so those who want to participate can come.”
Some teams start coming out of the dungeon. After seeing that, Kim Yeon-ha said, and we focused on her.
It was near the end of her lecture.
“Oh ho ho ho!! Everyone worked hard!!”
Elizabeth’s team was coming out. Seeing how long it took, it seems that strong monsters appeared there.
“Time… Faster than last time! Everyone worked hard!! Great!”
“Elizabeth. You suffered more.”
“You seem stronger than last time?”
“It seems that the method of swordsmanship has changed a bit.”
“Hohohohoho!! We’re just trying harder!! Instructor! How are our scores?!”
Kim Yeon-ha, who compared the time when Elizabeth’s team entered and the current time, reached out her hand. Elizabeth and her teammates took out parts of monsters that can be found in blue-level dungeons and showed them, and at the end, they showed an old greatsword.
“This is…”
“The owner of the dungeon was a cold swordsman!”
A test of the cold. An ice-shaped swordsman wrapped in cold air. He uses a greatsword and constantly uses a special status ailment that freezes the surroundings.
Looking closely, there were pieces of ice left all over Elizabeth’s clothes.
“Where did you get hurt?”
“Elizabeth was attacked by frost while fighting with the swordsman, but…”
“The recovery system was effective, and thanks to the continued use of fire magic, there was no great damage!! This much is nothing!!”
With a glance, Elizabeth’s gaze briefly reached me.
Why me?
“Hmm… Anyway, it’s more than 10 minutes faster than last time. Currently, Team Elizabeth is in first place.”
The joys and sorrows are mixed. Yuchoah’s team, who lost the first place, were talking about something while staring at each other with serious expressions, and Elizabeth’s team were all happy and running around holding hands.
And we…
“Nothing to like, nothing to be disappointed about. We’ll be looking for the next one.”
According to team leader Jin Shi-yeon’s cold judgment, he just stayed calm.
“The opportunity is still there.”
It was when I returned to the academy after the exam.
There’s still time. I thought I’d shoot a bow, but I saw Elizabeth walking alone.
But something is a little strange. She looks pretty tired, as she always cheered up and smiled softly.
“Elizabeth!”
“Oh my God! John!”
In an instant, her expression changed. With the face of the Elizabeth I knew.
“You look tired. What’s wrong?”
“No?! There’s nothing?!”
He really can’t lie. He hurriedly denied it with a stiff expression, but anyone could see that something was going on.
So I looked at her without saying anything and Elizabeth let out her small sigh and smiled bitterly at her.
“Actually, it’s because it’s a little difficult.”
“It’s hard. That sounds really out of place with you. Is the world’s Elizabeth having a hard time?”
“Hmm… Whoops. Actually, I’ve been learning something from my grandfather lately.”
Come to think of it, one of Elizabeth’s teammates did that earlier. It was a bit different from the usual Taylor method.
“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?”
“Oops?! Who’s the hardest one?!”
Her eyes widened and she said something stupid and poked her finger in my cheek.
“Who doesn’t mind hurting herself to save her teammates?!”
“No, look at that. Couldn’t it be helped?”
“Hohoho!! I just want to get stronger. And I’m tired, but not too tired.”
“Hmm. If you want to get stronger, I’ll buff you…”
“Your buffs are nice too! But wouldn’t it be better for me to be strong too? Hmm… If you’re worried, there’s a place I’d like you to go with later!”
“I’ll go anywhere. Where?”
“Oh my God?! Really? Whoa. Where?”
Elizabeth removed her finger from my cheek when I smiled mischievously and said leisurely.
“This is the home of the Taylor family!”
“…UK?”
“Yes! Where my grandfather is! I want you to stay with me when I’m training! Uh… I don’t think it’s because it’s burdensome or something like that, right?”
“No. That’s about it.”
“Hohoho!! Did you promise?!”
“Lady. Breath-sama is waiting for you.”
“Oh, you’re here already.”
Two women who appear to be Taylor family heroes approach us. Elizabeth smiled and waved her hand at the girls who also slightly greeted me.
“Then I’ll go. See you tomorrow!”
Elizabeth is seen going with them.
By the way, I learned from Breath… That was what Elizabeth and her relationship story ended.
Is this okay?
“…It’ll be fine. What?”
A change like this wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, if Elizabeth gets stronger, she’s perfect.
Then I can’t lose either. Let’s practice.
She went to the archery club and learned from senior Kryon. She feels like she knows more about the cancellation shot.
Thanks to that, his dexterity has also improved, and his steps are quite light.
I hummed a song as I headed towards the dormitory.
“… Huh? Why is he over there?”
On the way to the dormitory, I saw Jin Si-yeon standing alone in an empty lot without people.
…Huh? That one.
She was blunt Jin Si-yeon as usual, but the Tao she was holding was different.
The sword of pitch black.
It was a black moon, an artifact-level equipment that can be obtained at the end of Jin Si-yeon’s relationship story.
She apparently said that she wouldn’t catch the black moon until she got stronger, she hated being swayed by Jin Shi-yeon’s her bond story.
When she catches the Black Moon, she will be stronger than she is now.
But why already?
“Hey! Jin Shi-yeon!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“What are you doing?”
When I pointed at the black moon, she lightly lifted the black moon as if it was not a big deal.
“I’ll use this if a higher level monster comes out in the next dungeon. And… When fighting the witch that leads to death.”
“No… That. Are you okay? There must be a reason why I haven’t used it until now.”
“Well… A weapon is just a weapon. After all, it is my pride and my theory that the person who uses it must be strong.”
Jin Si-yeon looked down at the black moon for a while and then she smiled.
“But isn’t it what you have to do when you do it? Sometimes you have to put your pride aside.”
She stared straight at me and then said calmly.
“For something more important.”
You are very serious.
There’s nothing you can do about it.
“But don’t overdo it.”
“I don’t think that’s what a person who puts his arm in Jeokrang’s mouth would say?”
Why do they always tell the truth so that they have nothing to say?
