I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

78 – Beginning of Chapter 2 – 3

Let’s call while they are told to take out the ox horn too.

I immediately called the president, Sena Ryu, with Choa Yoo by my side.

“…Not accepted.”

“Okay? Let’s walk again tomorrow then.”

“Sure. Maybe you’ll get a call later. I’ll talk to you.”

“Uh… But isn’t this just making you tired?”

I’m just talking on the phone, so what’s there to be tired of? I shook my head, and Yoo Choa stood up from her seat, perhaps feeling relieved only then.

“Then I’ll be on my way. Sorry for the late visit.”

“No. It’s okay. Can you do this much?”

“hehehe. Anyway, since I got help, what are you going to do? Oh. Do you have time after the camp training?”

“No special plans…?”

There are no special schedules other than completing school schedules, training, or hunting for requests coming in from other places.

“Then let’s go out together on the weekend. I’ll buy you something delicious as a reward for helping out this time.”

“Oh. I’m looking forward to that.”

“Yeah! It’s better to have high expectations. I’ve been to many places with my friends, so I know good restaurants!”

“How much do you know?”

“Whoops! Look forward to it! There are so many!!”

Wow. A human capybara. How long has it been since the school schedule started, have you already been hanging out like that?

Anyway, it must be a really good place to say so confidently. Let’s expect

“Yes. Thank you. Hey.”

“What am I more grateful for? Then see you tomorrow!”

Waving her hand, Yuchoa left. Watching her walk away, she tells me that as I was about to enter her dorm, her terminal rang.

Chairman Ryu Sena.

“Hello?”

[What’s going on?]

It wasn’t a voice mixed with sleepiness. As I had heard before, I asked just in case at the slightly tired voice.

“I’m calling because I want to ask you something. You weren’t asleep, were you?”

[I came after washing. It’s too early for you yes. I want to ask… What is it?]

I told the story that I am currently trying to recruit Choa Yoo from her executive branch.

Is that why? Sena Ryu, who was silent for a moment, gave a low sigh before speaking in a tone full of bitterness.

[I’ve heard that the executive branch is trying to recruit her. They say that they especially reach out to cadets with excellent skills among freshmen.]

“Isn’t the management department recruiting?”

[Because if the power of the executive department increases, the position of the operation department will be shaken… Especially since the current executive director Joo Se-hee has great ambition… It’s more like that. They are aggressively trying to increase the power of the executive branch.]

This is why Shin Haerang said that life in the academy was difficult.

I was just focusing on studying and training, so I didn’t pay attention to the political part, but it seems that the situation is more complicated than I thought.

[Probably not only Yu Choa, but also the cadets who fought the witch who led to her death this time will be contacted.]

“Is that so?”

Then I will be contacted as well.

But I have no intention of joining the student council. It’s much better to go somewhere else than to go there.

“Isn’t the management department recruiting people?”

[I do, but… Practically speaking, there isn’t much that the management department can give you. Compared to the executive branch, I mean.]

“Hmm. Actually, what Choa Yoo wants is data about the monster wave and the blue bird that calls for the apocalypse. Can you take care of that much?”

[That’s something you can check through the association once you get the student council executive qualification. Yuchoah, did she say she would become an executive of the Student Council?]

“Ah. That’s not the case. After all, joining the Student Council puts restrictions on how you move, right?”

[I can’t deny it.]

“If, in case of an emergency, we are to raise the chairman’s hand… Can you provide us with the data when the fight with the executive branch is over?”

[If you get the qualifications of an executive for a short period of time and then leave, there won’t be any problems. I can do that.]

This is the cleanest result. Because we can get things from each other.

“Oh. Thank you then.”

[However, helping me may cause friction with the administration. It’s not an easy path, so why would you choose it?]

I burst into laughter at the gruff voice I heard over the phone.

“Isn’t it said that the original arm bends inwards?”

The next day. On my way to class for class, someone blocked my way.

It wasn’t the first time I saw it.

“Kim Yohan.”

“Yes. Ah. It’s been a while. Senior.”

He is one of the seniors I used to work with during student council training. He stared at me and held out the paper he was holding in his hand.

“The evaluation of you has changed a lot recently.”

“Isn’t it?”

Because he is active as a buffer, not a healer.

I took the document he gave me and read it.

There are a lot of things like this, but if you shorten it, it’s just a document to join the student council executive department.

Of course, just openly come in. Was not

Relocation to dormitory as compensation, and equipment support. Recommendation rights to work in associations after graduation. Elixir, other than that, and so on.

There was a lot more support than I expected.

“The Executive Director said that if you have the conditions you want, he will meet them to some extent.”

“I see.”

“How is it? Of course, it’s unfortunate that you didn’t meet the standards of the executive department and went out, but I believe you would understand if you think back then.”

Of course I think so too. Because at the time, I was bad as a healer.

“That’s right.”

“I see. Then…”

“But I’ll have to think about it.”

“Hmm?”

“No. There are some clubs I’ve joined, but I can’t just quit.”

“Hmm…”

“So I’d like you to tell me that. I need some time to think about it.”

The senior looked at me for a moment and then nodded her head. He seems to have understood that it was a sudden proposal.

“Yes. I hope you use your wise judgment.”

Of course, I intend to use my wise judgment.

A direction that benefits me. In the direction of getting what she needs without Nana Yuchoa joining her student council.

“Yes. You’ll have to use good judgment.”

“Huh.”

When he smiled lightly and walked away, I headed back to the classroom. As soon as I entered the classroom, Jin Si-yeon, who was there first, greeted me.

“Good morning.”

“Yes. Good morning.”

“By the way… Did you hear that?”

“What?”

“The Student Council has been scouting for a while now.”

Maybe it’s because he’s a member of the current student council, so he seems to know better. Jin Shi-yeon continued her words in a sleepy voice as she lay face down on her desk.

“It looks like the executive branch is starting to move in earnest. I was also contacted.”

“Aren’t you in the management department now?”

“That’s right. Even within the management department, there are many proposals to move to the executive department.”

“Oh… So? Moving a lot?”

“No. The executive department and the management department have had a bad relationship since the old days. Even if we ask them to move now, there won’t be many people who will move.”

Should I say fortunate?

“I was offered an offer earlier.”

I showed you the documents I had received earlier. Jin Shi-yeon, who received it, narrowed her eyes and read her contents, then turned her head to look at me.

“Are you going?”

“No. The administration can’t give me what I want.”

“What do you want? What is it?”

“There is. Something like that.”

Because it’s hard to get true ending route points if you join the executive department or the operation department. In addition, when I go to the dungeon or ruins I want, my schedule will overlap.

It doesn’t matter if you do a related side story, but you don’t have to join the student council.

“Anyway, that’s good. To be honest, I don’t want to fight with you.”

“Who’s talking? Let’s make our friendship last forever.”

“…Yes.”

She hesitated for a while, but after Jin Shi-yeon’s reply, she returned to her seat. Today’s class… Was a theory class in the morning and a combat class in the afternoon, right?

When I opened the book to check the contents of the morning class, the back door burst open.

“Everyone!! Good morning!!”

Elizabeth, who looks brighter than usual, enters with a loud cry. Some of her cadets greeted her, and Elizabeth, who received it with a broad smile, sat down next to me and said,

“Good morning isn’t it?! Ah! I hope every day is as good as today!!”

“That, that’s right? But it’s very bright today? What’s going on?”

“Just like that! The weather is nice, isn’t it?!”

I looked at the sky through the window. It was overcast.

Like Wonhyo’s skull water, everything is different depending on the mindset.

Since there is combat training this afternoon… The sunlight is definitely better than hot weather.

“Yes. It won’t be hot.”

“Hohohoho!! Right?!”

Elisabeth answered with her smile and placed her sword next to her. This is the sword I gave you yesterday.

“You want to write already?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll use it carefully.”

Anyway, while the bright-looking Elizabeth smiled, other students also entered.

As soon as the instructor for the morning class came in and started teaching, I continued to practice my skills while listening to the contents.

At times like this, you should practice.

“Ah. Come to think of it, I received an offer to join the Student Council.”

“Yes? Executive side?”

“Yeah… Huh? How do you know?”

“I got it too.”

“Do you want to join the Student Council…?”

“No.”

“I see!”

With a light nod of her head, Elizabeth folded her paper neatly in her bag.

“If Yohan doesn’t go in, I don’t have to go either!!”

Thank you for that.

“But from the standpoint of the executive branch, will the person who rejected his proposal be left alone?”

“Well… I can’t do anything about it right now.”

Because the student council president is still Ryu Sena. No matter how much she is the head of the executive department, she cannot operate the executive department at will.

Of course, if Joo Sae-hee, the executive director, became the student council president, the story would be different, but…

She’s not going to be the president.
