I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

95 – Who’s First – 2

“Surprised! Why are you looking at me like that!”

“Whoopoo!! You can’t fool my eyes!”

Yuchoa, who was shivering in another tree, pointed under her. Since she’s caught, she’s going down, right?

I went under her with Choa Yoo and she looked around.

“I don’t think others have discovered this side yet.”

“How did you find it?”

“There are traces. Footprints.”

I thought she moved without leaving her own way. Perhaps it’s because of his speciality in trap studies, but he seems to have excellent observational skills about his surroundings.

“Let’s move first.”

“Yes.”

The turmoil in the mountains was growing. A cadet who finds a healer has a higher chance of survival. That means it’s easy to be attacked by other cadets.

Since there was no word telling the students not to unite, it naturally flowed by knocking out dangerous targets first.

“Because even if you lose the badge, you are not eliminated. We can attack together and not give up until the end.”

“Is it better to stun it altogether?”

“Well… They said it’s okay. In case of fainting, the instructors will check the condition with drones and if it is dangerous, they will intervene and take it out to another place. Of course, if that happens, it will be negative in the final score calculation.”

“Cruel.”

“It’s survival. There’s no choice. Come on. Let’s go.”

Yuchoa, who responded lightly to her, walked ahead of her and I followed her. How far did she move along the mountain road? She lightly raised her hand.

It was a hand signal to stop.

“Ha ha ha!! You bastards!! Bring about five more people to catch this body!!”

“Damn it! Catch it! Catch it!!”

It was Max. Facing him are two cadets. However, he moved his longsword freely and passed the two attacks with ease.

“Here’s the question. Do you want to help them attack Max or help Max negotiate? Yohan. What do you think is better?”

If you’re thinking of dropping Max, it’s better to ambush here. But considering our balance right now, it’s better to help Max. Buffer and Dealer. If it’s a situation where there are only ranged dealers, it might be better to have a tank like Max.

“Can you negotiate with Max?”

“Hmm. It won’t be difficult…”

It was then. The fact that Max, who had been able to withstand the attacks of two people, and the two people who were attacking him stopped.

They stared to one side in bewilderment.

“Ohohohoho!!!”

What is this laughter?!

A woman dyed in gold came running with an intense laugh echoing through the mountains.

“Oops!”

“Elizabeth!”

“Your badge! I’ll take it!”

– Kwaaang!!

Elizabeth’s blow, flying from the air like a meteor falling, creates an explosion. At the same time, two people retire. Elisabeth rushed at Max, not paying attention to them as they collapsed on the floor and flinched.

-Cheong! Visor! Visor!

Swords collide with swords. In an instant, dozens of sword strikes were made, and in the end, Elizabeth’s sword touched Max’s throat, and the victory was decided.

Wow. Elizabeth. You’ve become so strong

“Sheesh. Surrender.”

“Then let’s just get the badge!!”

Elizabeth, who received the badge from Max, took two badges as well. And after waking them both up, she asked with a leisurely smile.

“Didn’t you find John?!”

“Didn’t I see it?”

“Hmm. Me too.”

“By the way, Elizabeth. Isn’t the surprise attack a little too much?”

“Hohoho!! Lions do everything they can to catch rabbits!! You guys are scarier than wolves, but I’m just doing my best!!”

“To be treated as more than a wolf by someone as talented as Elizabeth. I don’t know if I should like this or not.”

“Anyway, everyone!! Let’s meet again next time!! Bye!! Oh! If you ever meet John, please tell him I’m looking for you!!”

With her lively cry, she walks away. The three of them stared at each other for a while, then held out their hands.

“Let’s move together with those who lost their badges.”

“Kuh… I can’t help it.”

“It’s only this time!!”

The team was formed naturally. After seeing the three of them go to another place, Yuchoa seemed to think for a while, then asked.

“…Wouldn’t it have been better to negotiate with Elizabeth to team up?”

“But he’s already gone, isn’t he? Let’s talk next time we meet.”

Because I need to gather people to fight the main story anyway.

About an hour has passed since the survival test started. As if the basic battle was coming to an end, the sound of the battle from the mountain was diminishing.

And during that time, Yuchoa and I have not yet attacked or been attacked by another enemy.

“This is why Trapology is so useful.”

A high level of observation of the surroundings means that it is easy to hide. No one was chasing us, whether it was because we moved by stepping only on rocks or fallen leaves when we moved, or if Yuchoa was doing something else.

“It’s one of the things I learned at the hunting club. I move like this when I move to prevent monsters from attacking me.”

“Oh. That’s great. When did you learn that again?”

“hehehe~. I learned from the seniors at the club. Do you know that senior Go Ye-jeong?”

“Ah. That senior? Wow. Does that senior teach you things like that?”

“Yes. He knows a lot about Trap and Tracking. Thanks to him, we learned a lot while hunting together.”

It seems like he learned a lot from his seniors, probably because his feet are wide and his sociability is good. I’m sure I’ll have to learn something like this…

At that time, Choa Yoo’s hand was raised. Stop sign. I held my breath as much as possible to hide my presence, and Yoo Choa pointed to one side.

There was a black-haired woman standing there.

This is Jin Shi-yeon.

In front of her, standing with a normal sword, not a black moon.

“…Well.”

They were Jiangshi, Ghouls, and other undead. The number seems to be over twenty.

Of course, it wouldn’t be impossible for Jin Si-yeon to deal with an enemy of that level….

“I think I need help with this.”

If the main story of the second act is going on today, it is better to participate in the battle of Qin Siyeon. Then it is better for her to be in good condition than to be hurt.

At my words, Yoo Choa looked at Jin Si-yeon with a smile on her face.

“Is that so? Well, I was the first to find you, and the two of us went out together… For now, I’m satisfied.”

From nob le mt l. co m

No matter how competitive it may be, I don’t want to see my friend in danger.

It was definitely Yoo Choa-like.

“Then let’s go.”

After casting her magic power increase on Yu Choa, I sent the rest of the buff to Jin Siyeon. Is that why? Jin Shi-yeon’s eyes widened as she held her sword in check while holding her enemies in check.

“Let’s cooperate now!!”

A magic cannon fired with Yuchoa’s cry. As it pierced the side of the undead and created a strong explosion, the corners of Jin Si-yeon’s mouth moved slightly.

“Yoo Choa. Did you find out first?”

“Is that so?”

“…Hmph. It doesn’t matter. Let’s start with the Jiangshi and talk.”

Jin Shi-yeon’s Tao moves. It was a Jiangshi with high defense thanks to its hard skin, but whenever the sword moved, the Jiangshi started to take quite a hit.

Buffs. And Jin Shi-yeon’s own high attack power.

Finally, until the bombardment of Yu Choa.

It didn’t take long to defeat all the enemies here.

“Whoa…”

The problem is that there was quite a fuss during the fight.

Of course, it was clear that people would come this way, and there was a high possibility that there would be many cadets who had lost their badges.

“There’s no need to fight those without badges. Let’s move.”

Siyeon Jin beckoned and we followed her.

“Oh my God?! John?!”

“What?”

As we arrived near the small cave, we heard Elizabeth’s voice. After defeating one Jiangshi and one ghoul in front of the cave, Elizabeth widened her eyes when she saw that we had come. That surprised expression quickly changed to regret when I saw Yoo Choa next to me.

And Yoo Choa also sighed with a similar face.

“… Whew.”

“Why are you sighing?”

“Just. But were you two holding hands?”

“What. Right? We ran into each other earlier… And instead of fighting, we decided to hold hands!”

“Unexpected…”

“Because we can hold hands if need be! There was no rule against cooperating, so no problem!! And… Well, back then there was no reason to fight…”

A smart strategy.

If Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon collide, neither of them will be confident of winning or losing. If that’s the case, it would be beneficial to collect badges by saying that they are allies or not attacking each other.

“But I didn’t expect John to come with me. Choa. Did you find John? I tried to find him using this as a starting point…”

“Ahahahaha~. That’s it~.”

With a smile, Yu Choa patted my arm. Elizabeth, who looked at her and me alternately, let out a small sigh.

“It’s fortunate, but it’s a pity… I wanted to find out first.”

“But maybe it’s because we met like this?”

It was a pity to see Elizabeth looking sullen, so she said a word.

She said it’s not a big deal, but Elizabeth quickly regained her smile.

“Isn’t it?! It’s the beginning anyway, because it matters who you’re with at the end!”

“Ah, yes. No matter who you meet first, the last one matters.”

“…What is it? But isn’t the beginning important?”

As I watched the three of them talking, I looked around. It’s a good place to fight.

“It would be perfect if there was Cheon Soo-ho and a healer here.”

From nob le mt l. co m

Not enough for the main story battle in Chapter 2.

Among the three who were conversing at my words, Elizabeth turned her head.

It seems like the conversation is about to end after gathering and talking seriously.

“Unfortunately, Cheon Soo-ho seems to have already formed a team. It was because he found Ho-jung-cheon. And it seems that he joined hands with Kaine as well?”

“Really?”

“Of course. If it were him, he would.”

For Cheon Soo-ho, who is aiming for the top position, Elizabeth is a wall he must overcome. She’s like that, so even if she asks to team up, she’s likely to refuse.

“Do you know who got the healers?”

“Well? I only know that the healer on the Cheonsuho side is Hojungcheon.”

“Have Ki Ki-yeol, Serenia, and other healers not yet been discovered?”

“I think the standard column will probably move like the executive branch… And if it’s Serenia, he might be holding the Jiangshi.”

I fully agreed with what Choa Yoo said. Even if I tell her to stay calm, she will go berserk whenever she sees the undead.

“Anyway, we’d better have at least one healer with us. That way she’ll be safe when attacked.”

From nob le mt l. co m

No matter how many buffs I have.

And that was then.

“The Lord’s enemies cannot be forgiven!!”

A gunshot sounded along with a sonorous shout.

Find a Healer!!

At this level, the main story battles are worth it!
