I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

72 – End of Chapter 1 – 1

It’s the weekend.

On the surface, it was a day to travel among the cadets, but in reality, when it became a day to set up a trap to catch the witch that led to death, I went to the gate after fully prepared.

“…Guys?”

Am I the only one nervous?

Elizabeth, wearing a white blouse and tight jeans that show off her long, toned legs, is sitting on a large ice chest.

Jin Si-yeon wears short blue hot pants that reveal her long legs and the bottom of the shirt is tied to look like a crop top, and sunglasses are hung around her neck.

Cheon Soo-ho is wearing a Hawaiian shirt, shorts and slippers even though he is not going to Hawaii.

Serenia is dressed in a nun’s uniform, but has a lot of thoughts to play while wearing sunglasses.

Lastly, Choa Yoo, wearing a yellow dress that reached below her knees and a straw hat.

Why am I the only one wearing a cadet uniform?

Something seems wrong with me?

“Hey. Are you wearing a cadet uniform even though you’re going to play?”

“No… This one has the highest defense. Also, there are pilgrim’s clothes inside. But why do you guys dress so freely?”

“I’m going to play anyway, but I have to have TPO, right?! And I brought all my equipment.”

“Hmm… That’s it too.”

Well, actually, we’re going to play anyway. So it’s not unusual to wear plain clothes.

“It would have been better for John to come in plain clothes…”

“I don’t have plain clothes.”

“Ah… Then, would you like to go shopping with me next time? Yohan is tall, so I think he’ll look good in anything he wears!!”

“Okay. Let’s go together later when we earn some money.”

“Really?!”

“I can pick out clothes for you.”

Jinshiyeon, who was standing with her arms crossed, also uttered a word. Her Elizabeth, who glanced up at her, shook her head with a smile on her face.

“Then shall we go together?”

“…Well, think about it.”

“Huh?! Then me too! Me too! I’ll think of clothes that would suit Yohan!”

What to buy and how much. If I had the money to buy private clothes, I would use it to get more potions and equipment.

I just said one word and it looks like the money went out in a big way.

“Anyway, it looks like we’ve arrived, so let’s go soon.”

The mountain hut is located in Seoraksan Mountain. You have to go to the gate and go to Gangwon-do, then take a car and move again.

“You can enter the cabin by 5 o’clock, so you can stop by the beach and then go. The gate was in Sokcho, right?”

“Are you going to the beach after going to the beach?! That’s good too!! I want to see the East Sea!”

“Yes. Yes. Now. Then let’s go.”

She packed her bags and moved to the gate. Were they contacted in advance? As soon as I came out of the gate, a small bus was waiting for me.

“Welcome. Are you academy cadets? I’ll check the number.”

A middle-aged man who looked like a bus driver greeted us with a smile. It looks ordinary, but this person is also a hero dispatched by the association.

“Ms. Elizabeth Taylor. Miss Jin Si-yeon. Miss Yoo Cho-ah. Miss Serenia. Miss Cheon Soo-ho. Miss Kim Yo-han… Yes. That’s all right. Do you want to go straight to the cabin?”

“Ah. I want to go to Sokcho, is that okay?”

“Of course. Then let’s go to Sokcho.”

He answered kindly and moved to the driver’s seat. We got on the bus right away, and as soon as the bus door closed, the driver spoke seriously.

“I am Cha Joong-cheol, a B-class hero belonging to the association. I have been contacted by the academy.”

“Ah… Yes. Nice to meet you.”

“You are still cadets, but I heard that you will be put into a dangerous operation. Even though it’s a B class, I will do my best to make sure you don’t get hurt. I hope you don’t have any problems.”

“Thank you. Are there any heroes in the cabin?”

“No. They won’t be staying at the mountain hut. However, the academy’s instructors will be staying at the Seorak Mountain Shelter. If we can confirm that the witch who really leads death is moving, we will move too.”

“What if the barrier opens?”

A barrier, one of the skills used by wizards. We need to think about the skills to prevent entry and exit from inside and outside.

“There are wizards on our side too. We are going to destroy the barrier and enter. However, considering the power of the barrier that the witch leading to death will open… It will take about ten minutes.”

Even in the game, it took that long for heroes to come to support. Then there is no problem.

“In addition, other villains may get in the way, so you’d better think it might take a little longer.”

When asked if he could endure that much, Jin Si-yeon grinned.

“Can I take it down?”

“…hahahahaha. It couldn’t be better.”

But the opponent is an A-class villain. Will it be easy to catch the vicious villain who has gone through all the hardships? Instead of saying that, he just laughed it off.

“Then let’s go.”

The bus is moving. Choa Yoo glanced at me in an atmosphere that was a little saggy because of the conversation from earlier.

“Why?”

“It’s starting to feel realistic. Yohan. Aren’t you scared?”

Are you afraid…

“Not much?”

With so many strong people around you, is there anything you can be afraid of?

“Wow! This is Sokcho Beach!”

Elizabeth was delighted to see the golden sandy beach with the blue sea. It’s not summer yet, so the sea breeze is a bit cold, but it’s nice because the wind is cool, perhaps because of the stinging sun.

“John!! Look over there! Over there!”

Taking my arm and leading her, Elizabeth pointed at the deformed rock.

She walked with light steps and climbed the rock. She pointed to one side.

“See that over there?!”

I can’t see it.

“There’s a dolphin over there!!”

I can’t see it.

“Wow! It ran!”

“I can’t see it.”

“Oops. I’m sorry. Next time, let’s go see the dolphins!”

This happens again.

Anyway, we wandered around the beach with the excited Elizabeth, and in the meantime, Serenia and Cheon Soo-ho, who had bought drinks, called us.

“Hey! Drink this!!”

“…What is this?”

“Sweet Pumpkin Sikhye?”

After taking a sip, it was more drinkable than I thought. It’s nice to be sweet.

“…Did you eat well? Is it delicious?”

“Uh. Are you okay? What is it? Didn’t you buy it after drinking it?”

“No. I bought it because it was interesting. This is mine.”

Cheon Soo-ho held up the energy drink he always drank. That’s true I’ll have to try it when it’s like this.

“Should we eat sashimi for lunch? We’ve come this far, but we can’t skip sashimi, can we?”

Serenia looked around as if she was more interested in food than the sea. Since it is near the beach, there are quite a few raw fish restaurants.

“Where would you like to go?”

“They say the raw fish restaurant over there in Sokcho is good.”

“Where else did you hear that?”

“The instructors taught me.”

Did you only know about travel without training to say…

Yoo Choa received my gaze with a smile. Yes. She did well

“Let’s go.”

When she entered the Sokcho raw fish restaurant she pointed out, there weren’t many people there, probably because it was still early lunchtime. Cheon Soo-ho, who had moved to a wider seat, sat down and I was about to sit down as well.

“Sit here!”

Elizabeth offered a seat next to her. She had no particular reason to refuse, so when she sat there.

“Hmm.”

“Uh. Can I sit here?”

“Why. Hate it?”

Siyeon Jin sat down next to me. She replied calmly, and Jin Si-yeon took off her sunglasses and stared at me with her dark eyes.

She’ll take a hit if she says no.

“No. I can’t help but hate it.”

“Huh.”

She finished her answer with a soft smile and crossed her arms. In the meantime, Serenia and Yuchoa also sat down, and Cheonsuho raised his hand.

“Here’s your order!”

Sashimi, Maeuntang, and tempura for 6 people.

As soon as the order was placed, the dishes began to be served on the table.

Wow. You’re doing really well.

While admiring the table full of dishes, Elizabeth smiled and put some dishes on my plate.

“I eat a lot!”

“Thank you.”

“Why don’t you eat this too? They say you should try this when you come to Sokcho.”

Jin Si-yeon, who placed the squid sundae on her plate, grabbed a piece of her sashimi with his characteristic nonchalant face and put it in her mouth.

“Yohan! Try this too! The conch is delicious!”

And one of the conch shells coming up.

It was given to me by Choa Yoo, who was sitting in the seat in front of me.

“Uh. Hey. Thank you.”

“hehehe~. What~.”

The dishes naturally piled up on my plate. Let’s eat first

“You don’t want to drink?”

“…Is it okay for a nun to drink?”

“Ugh. Wine is the blood of the Lord. How can a priest avoid alcohol?”

“They don’t sell wine here?”

“Then you should drink soju!”

Is she really a nun? Serenia raised her hand and ordered her soju and poured her a glass.

“Come on~! To~!”

What are you trying to do? Anyway, I finished my lunch with a glass of soju as an accompaniment.

Of course, Serenia drank another bottle.

“Keu~! Good~! When I was at the academy, I couldn’t drink well because of the director nun. After all, people have to come out. When I was at the Vatican, I could secretly drink. Ah. I miss the Vatican. My heart. ‘S hometown.”

That rogue nun…

“Ho-ho-ho! Don’t worry! I brought some wine to drink with the barbecue tonight!”

“Wow! May the Lord bless you!”

I can receive a blessing just by bringing wine. Shall I buy a bottle too?

Anyway, after a noisy lunch, and after looking around Sokcho for a while, we headed to the mountain lodge.

By the time we reached the mountain hut by climbing up the winding road, the sun was setting before we knew it.

Because it is a mountain, the surroundings are filled with darkness.

“Then I’ll be back tomorrow. Rest in peace.”

Cha Joong-cheol said hello and drove down the bus. Of course, saying that it will come tomorrow is a lie. In reality, they will move to the shelter by putting the bus under them.

“There are three rooms. Me and Yohan can share the same room… The four of you decide the rest.”

“I like the first floor room.”

When I opened the door on the first floor, there were two small beds. It seems that Elizabeth, Serenia, Yoo Choa, and Jin Si-yeon shared the same room while they threw their bags to one side and checked the equipment.

When the girls decided on a room and went upstairs.

Cheonsuho tapped my back.

“Hey. Is something strange?”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I’m a tanker, so I’m a bit sensitive. Ever since the bus went down…”

He glanced toward the window and said softly.

“I can sense that something is watching over me.”

Yes. When the sun had completely set and it was a good night for the undead to move.

It will begin in earnest.
