I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

69 – End of the midterm exam – 2

It was the last day of the practical evaluation. Until now, there had been no cadets who had never passed the dungeon. However, there were cadets who were satisfied with their scores, so the number of cadets who wanted to enter the dungeon was reduced by more than half.

“Jin Si-yeon. Are you going to challenge the blue rank?”

“Yes.”

“Does everyone agree?”

“Yes!”

“If a higher grade monster comes out, I’ll back off.”

Kim Yeon-ha, who heard the answer from Colombo and Shi-ho Jeong, sent her eyes to me. I agree with that opinion, so I just nodded her head.

Jin Si-yeon seemed slightly dissatisfied with our answer.

But what can I do? I’m sorry, but it’s impossible to challenge the red grade at the level of Colombo and Siho Jeong. No matter how much I receive my buff.

“Jin Si-yeon. Think of it as a team.”

“…Yes.”

Kim Yeon-ha, who seemed to have noticed Jin Si-yeon’s dissatisfaction, brought out her instructor-like words, and turned her eyes to the other side. She was on Elizabeth’s side of the team. She says that she also challenges blue grade dungeons.

Yoochoa’s side is green grade.

“Then let’s begin.”

The place I moved to for the practical evaluation was Gangwon-do. I heard that a dungeon occurred in Sokcho yesterday, so it seems that the academy immediately wanted it.

When we arrived, some soldiers and heroes were taking care of the monsters coming out of the dungeon. A crack in the blue and green space is visible in the distance.

“Okay. Receive the rescue request. Once again, distinguish between courage and recklessness.”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go.”

Following Instructor Kim Yeon-ha’s signal, we see a crack in space that glows blue. I walked towards the dungeon.

When I went inside, I saw a wide passageway. It looks like a normal dungeon…

“There’s a trap over there. Be careful.”

It was a trap from the beginning. How are you feeling? I immediately fired an arrow, and when the arrow hit the trap, it opened a large hole in the floor. Pointy and sharp spear blades are visible. I would have been seriously injured if I had gone without knowing how to look good.

“Let’s go.”

After passing through the trap and going further inside, a large space came out. And what appeared…

– Kkeueek!!

A low scream and a stinging snort. Undead

“Tsk. Black Skeleton and Poison Zombie.”

Black Skeletons and Poison Zombies. It is an undead monster that often appears in blue-grade dungeons. In other words, the dungeon we entered this time is a normal blue grade dungeon.

“Fortunately.”

“No, should I consider this fortunate…”

Even though the Black Skeleton, which is an enhanced version of the normal Skeleton, is a Poison Zombie, it is a troublesome thing that causes ‘poisoning’.

Of course, if you use Twilight Shadow, you can stop it.

However, Twilight Shadow can only be used on one person…

“You did well to bring the poison resistance potion just in case you didn’t know.”

Jung Si-ho tapped the bag on his waist.

Oh yeah? Really good.

“Then don’t be shy and let’s go!!”

A black skeleton is in the lead, and poison zombies are preparing to emit poisonous smoke in the rear. Then the ranks…

“Go!! Colombo!! You are already hardened!”

I put the Diamond Sutra and the Shadow of Twilight on him. And when I gave Jin Siyeon the rest of the buffs, she smiled.

“You want me to catch poison zombies?”

“Isn’t it okay to catch it from a medium distance?”

What can I do? My bow has so much damage. And Poison Zombie’s attack is not a skill, so it can’t be canceled.

“Then stay calm!!”

This time, like a buffer, I’ll just give buffs and stay quietly in the corner.

The battle itself was nothing special. Because Colombo and Siho Jeong dealt with the Black Skeleton, Siyeon Jin slaughtered the Poison Zombie at mid-range.

Poison Zombie collapsed without much resistance, perhaps thanks to the fact that she received her buff and used her skills to attack.

Of course, he breathed poisonous smoke on Colombo before he died, but thanks to the shadow of dusk, Colombo was not poisoned.

Jeong Si-ho endured with poison resistance potions.

“Whew. That was dangerous.”

“It’s such a hassle to fight the undead.”

“Isn’t it good enough to catch it? Let’s move.”

I picked up the bones of the black skeleton that had fallen on the floor and put them in my bag. Poison Zombie didn’t give me much. A guy who’s annoying to deal with doesn’t even give japtem.

“By the way Si Yeon-ah, don’t you use that sword?”

Jeong Si-ho pointed to the black moon sword on Jin Si-yeon’s waist. Even during the fight earlier, what she brought out was a normal sword.

When Jeong Shi-ho was curious about what she had brought and left behind, she seemed to think for a moment before looking at me.

“Hmm. I’m not going to use this right now. But I plan to use it when I catch the owner of the dungeon.”

“Really? Looks great anyway.”

“It’s a good one. It’s my father’s old sword.”

Jin Shi-yeon’s father, Jin-ho.

Hearing that it was a weapon used by S-class heroes in the past, Colombo seemed to be interested in it, so he looked at the black moon.

“Hmm. It might have been nice to try the red rank.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to confuse courage with bravery? Now, let’s proceed.”

Jin Si-yeon, who answered lightly, walks ahead.

“Don’t you think Siyeon’s mindset has changed?”

“Sure.”

It’s not that bad though.

A few battles, and a few traps.

The poison zombies mixed in between were annoying, but thanks to Jin Shi-yeon’s mid-range attack, we were able to reach the last room of the dungeon without much of a problem.

“That’s…”

Its shape is similar to that of a normal skeleton. But the size is different. A two-headed skeleton with a height that would easily exceed 3m and a size to match.

It was a giant twin head skeleton.

“Uh. Hmm. How do I hold that?”

Is it because it’s my first time dealing with large monsters? Columbo’s voice trembles.

While Colombo seemed a bit overwhelmed by his size, I gave him a pat on the back.

“Nothing special. Just do what you do.”

Even if it’s a large monster, the way you deal with it doesn’t change much.

It’s just that it’s a bit more difficult for tanks.

I pushed Colombo after raising his defense with Diamond Sutra.

“Go!!”

“Oohhhhh!!”

Colombo ran with a roar, and the Giant Skeleton saw him and moved his hand. A swing with a large hand. While Colombo, who blocked it with his shield, was slightly pushed back, Jung Shi-ho moved.

“Haaa!!”

The greatsword contains power.

Charging. Charging. Charging.

As soon as he gathers his strength to the end and strikes the Giant Twin Head Skeleton’s legs, he loses his balance.

And what follows.

“I’ll ask for a buff.”

Jin Si-yeon took a short breath and put her hand on the black moon.

Blessings of the Holy Spirit and strength of the soul. Cheonri run. How strong will she be if she uses her black moon after receiving her multiple attack power increase?

-Clap.

The pitch-black blade comes out of the sheath. At the same time, a black aura began to build up in the Tao. Jin Shi-yeon, who ran with it as it was, quickly swung her sword at the giant twin head skeleton that had been knocking on Colombo for a while.

– Sudden!!

“…Wow, wow.”

In one blow, the Giant Twin Head Skeleton’s arm was severed.

– Sudden!!

The Giant Twin Head Skeleton’s legs were severed in the gap.

– Sudden!! Awesome!! Awesome!!

Three strikes, shots, five strikes.

Every time the sword is swung, its body disintegrates. Jin Shi-yeon, who even struggled to resist, launched the last attack, and his two heads fell off his body, and the blue-level dungeon boss’s body began to turn gray.

“God, that’s great.”

“Wow… Really amazing… Siyeon?!”

The moment he slowly pushed the Heukwol sword into the axe, Jin Si-yeon sat down on the floor. His face is white and his lips are pale.

Her I hurriedly put her heal on her and fed her potion.

The skill Jin Si-yeon used earlier is a skill that is contained in the black moon, the black moon combo.

It is a skill that increases attack power in exchange for stamina and energy, and its consumption is high, so it is difficult for Jin Si-yeon to use now.

“Haa… Haa… Haa…”

I even got a thousand mile run, but at this rate, if I use it without receiving any buffs, I’ll just pass out.

Jin Shi-yeon, who had barely recovered, looked at me with a faint smile.

“How about…?”

“It’s great, but I think it’s a bit ignorant.”

If it wasn’t for the buff, it would have been like a self-destructor. Is that how you use it?

“Huh. Who cares…”

“Ugh. Okay. Okay. Can you stand up?”

“…I think your legs are still a little loose.”

“Then get carried away.”

I went to sit in front of Siyeon Jin. She will have to carry it on her back until she recovers.

“… Huh?”

“What. Why. To stay here?”

“Joe, you can get some rest.”

“But wouldn’t it be better to go out and rest?”

“…Take what comes out.”

Jin Shi-yeon said lowly, turning her head around. If she doesn’t like it, she can’t help it.

“What did you get?”

Only one large skeleton remained in the place where the boss had disappeared after being dyed gray.

It’s a japtem called the skull of a giant skeleton, but there’s really no use for it other than just bringing it to the association and getting points.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.

“Let’s just grab the energy core and head out. At this rate, we’ll be number one.”

It would be unfair for Jin Shi-yeon to do so, but she couldn’t win first place. We took care of her core right away, and in the meantime, Jin Si-yeon, who had recovered her stamina a little, raised her body and approached.

“Let’s go.”

When I went outside, Instructor Kim Yeon-ha’s expression changed to surprise. No wonder she came out much quicker than the average time.

“Awesome. How did you do it?”

“Thanks to Siyeon.”

“Really? Um… Then you guys must be number one on the record.”

“Oh…!”

Are we all left with a personal combat proficiency test? I don’t see…

What will be the result?

“Ah. That’s right. Hey. Just in case, when it comes to personal evaluation…”

“I won’t use it then.”

“Huh? Why?”

I wish I didn’t have to use the skill.

Since the black moon itself is also a light, it will be easy to get good grades if you use it.

Jin Shi-yeon glanced at the black moon and shook her head.

“You should only use this when you need to.”
