I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

chapter 12



12 – Dungeon Practice – 3

The sudden appearance of the student council president.

She was the first event she and Yuchoa encountered in the game.

Of course, it wasn’t going to be a party like Yoo Choa’s now.

She made eye contact with Yoo Choa, and while she kept her mouth shut for a moment, she looked around Kim Yeon-ha and said,

“Everyone knows what kind of dungeon this dungeon is, right?”

“It’s an artificial dungeon.”

“Yes. An artificial dungeon. Using an energy core and some artifacts, the academy, together with the association, created an artificial dungeon for the training of cadets.”

Kim Yeon-ha’s explanation was something I heard both in the game and in class, so I didn’t have to pay much attention to it.

My focus is Sena Ryu.

It was Yoo Choa that her gaze reached.

If it were Sena Ryu, she would know what Choa Yoo’s aptitude is… She must have come here to at least look at her face.

“…Therefore, in this lesson, the score will be determined by how quickly you finish clearing the dungeon. Seniors, please take good care of your juniors.”

“Yes!”

Just like dawn comes even if you twist a chicken’s neck, the class went ahead regardless of our situation.

“John!

“I’ll be honest. The reason I came this time is to check the skills of the current famous first year.”

Senna Ryu spoke in a blunt tone, then sent her gaze alternately to Elizabeth and then to me.

Elizabeth, the head of the year.

And I was kicked out of the student council.

But even so, her gaze was the same.

“I’ll just show you a simple demonstration, so follow along.”

She said it clearly and entered the dungeon without hesitation, and Elizabeth, who was watching it, frowned slightly.

“Hmm. Did something bad happen?”

Because she was Elizabeth, she must have not been hurt by the student council president’s cold personality.

It’s good to have a strong mentality.

“You’re the student council president. Let’s do that.”

And.

That person wouldn’t do that because he wanted to.

The moment we passed through the dimensional gate that was wrapped in a subtle black energy, a dark cave greeted us.

It was similar to the form of the basic dungeon for beginners seen in the game.

Well, it’s the first dungeon, but I’m not going to send it to the level of a ruin.

“It is generally believed that dungeons are naturally occurring, but this is not always the case.”

“I know! Use energy cores to create dungeons and train them there!”

“Yes. If you inject a special energy core into the dungeon being destroyed, the dungeon will stop collapsing. You can create weaker monsters than the monsters in the existing dungeon.”

“However, it is said that it is almost impossible to artificially create a dungeon unless there is a fairly large group due to the amount of energy cores that go into it. Unless it is a nation or a hero association…”

“I know it well. As expected, the top of the grade. And… Kim Yohan. Do you have anything to say?”

“I don’t really like artificial dungeons because they don’t have dungeon clear rewards.”

“…I didn’t ask for your taste.”

“But you’re not wrong.”

“Yes. The rewards you get when you break through a dungeon make your hero stronger. Now, the first obstacle in the artificial dungeon.”

Ryusena finished her words before hearing footsteps.

The one walking through the passage of the cave is a small, brown-skinned monster.

It was a guy named Mook.

“Mook is a beginner, and the one you can easily see in artificial dungeons. Maybe he’s the one you see the most when you’re cadets.”

One monster appeared.

Only one!

That’s why Sena Ryu continued her words while looking at Mook without much pressure.

-Kieek!!

With a grotesque scream holding a sharp bone dagger, she lightly dodged the attack and kicked it away.

“The countermeasure is very simple. If you inflict more than a certain amount of damage, it just disappears.”

-Pababababat!!

Three spears fired in an instant.

Elizabeth nodded her head earnestly as she watched the mook disintegrate after being hit in the head, chest, and stomach, turning into smoke and disappearing.

“You guys do it next time.”

-Kung!!

As soon as she stomped her foot, three mooks came out.

This was also not very different from the game.

“Okay. Then I’ll be back.”

As I said beforehand, it seems that they are just trying to show a demonstration and just watch. If that’s the case, we should show our strength here.

“Don’t be vigilant.”

A lion must do his best when dealing with a rabbit.

So, just as she was about to give her her buff, Elizabeth drew her sword.

“Ohohoho!! Got it! John! You’re resting! Here I am! I’ll show you the power of the Taylor family!”

She smiled confidently and Elizabeth quickly ran off.

“Haaa!!”

A golden aura on her sword. The Taylor family’s arcane swordsmanship unfolded.

-Quaaang!!

With her blow, the mooks were instantly annihilated.

“…I heard it was strong, but I didn’t expect it to be this strong.”

“Ha ha…”

I wonder if he’s the top of the grade for nothing.

Since then, there has been no great danger in exploring dungeons.

In the first place, there’s no way that a few mooks would be a danger to Elizabeth.

“But can’t you?”

“Let’s just enjoy it.”

What’s the point of interfering in a fight while being so happy…

And it is not now that I have to participate in earnest.

“Ah! I guess it’s over now!”

The path of the cave disappears and a large room appears. An altar with a small jewel shimmering red energy in the center of the space.

It was the center of the dungeon.

“Destroying that is the end of the dungeon search. But be nervous. No matter how artificial the dungeon is, it will be difficult to catch the owner of the dungeon with only 1st year cadets. Now. From now on, I will join you.”

And, as if to prove it, the red energy gradually got stronger and something began to come out of the darkness.

-Ahhhhh…!!

“Ugh! Smell!”

The smell of rotting corpses stings the nose. A monster that lowers morale just by giving off a smell.

It was a ‘ghoul’ belonging to the D class according to the association standard.

“Ugh…”

The stench must have been quite annoying. Seeing Elizabeth holding her nose, Ryusena smiled.

“Most of the undead monsters exhale the smell. I’ll bring you some medicine to stop the smell. Anyway, it’s troublesome to suffer from such a smell…”

What kind of good things are you trying to bring?

Anyway, that smell also causes status abnormalities, so there is no need to use medicine.

“Are you ready, Elizabeth?”

“Ah! Of course! John!”

“…What are you guys up to?”

What are you doing buffing?

Come on. So here’s a set of three buffs…

“Whoah…!”

Blessings of the Holy Spirit.

The Diamond Sutra.

And the twilight shadow I got last time.

Having even received a buff that increases her resistance to abnormal conditions, Elizabeth let go of her nose, which she had just been holding, and gripped her sword with both hands.

“Huh?!”

-Turn it off!!

“The power of ghouls is strong! Do not block the attack, but blood…”

-Chae Ae-aeng!!

The ghoul’s sharp claws collided with Elizabeth’s sword.

But Elizabeth has the blessing of her Holy Spirit along with her Diamond Sutra!

There’s no way I’ll be pushed that far!

“Ahhhhh!!”

Elisabeth, who pushed the ghoul back with her strong spirit and strength, drew her sword. At the same time, a golden aura spread around her sword.

-Suddenly!!

A blow.

Apart.

Three strikes.

Shooting.

Finally, the quintessence.

With only five sword strikes, the ghoul’s body was shattered and disintegrated.

Um. Cool. Also always great

“…Pretty strong for a freshman.”

“Oh ho ho ho! We will have to fight even stronger enemies from now on, but this is the basics!! Chairman!!”

Ryusena’s eyes reached me after looking at Elizabeth, who was proudly shouting and enjoying herself for a while.

With a gaze that still doesn’t know what he’s thinking.

Since it is an artificial dungeon, the center of the dungeon has been destroyed. Normally, you can get things like energy and artifacts here, but since it was originally a dungeon made by people for training, would you give me something like that?

Still, when you return to the academy, they will give you a reward, so you should be content with that.

“The first dungeon clear reward will be provided by the academy.”

The chairman is going to say something, but he won’t stop, right?

I look forward to it.

In the game, they gave me 100,000 won in cash and random equipment that I could use in the beginning.

I don’t expect buffer equipment, so I’d like equipment that increases mental or holy power.

Or even dexterity…

“Now, let’s go out.”

The corpse of a ghoul… No, it’s originally a dead body, so should I call it a corpse? Anyway, it completely turned into smoke and disappeared, and the exit appeared. When I went outside through that place, not only I but Elizabeth and Ryusena couldn’t help but wonder.

“…Why is the atmosphere a bit strange?”

It was as Elizabeth said.

We woke up early, but there were people who came out before us.

If you look at it normally, it would be correct to show off your skills or share information with each other.

But it wasn’t.

The cadets were waiting outside.

Not only freshmen, but also seniors.

No.

Even instructors who are at the same level as active heroes.

Everyone was watching the sky nervously.

“That’s… What is it?”

“Everyone raise your weapons.”

I heard Kim Yeon-ha’s cold voice. The moment she revealed her vigilance to be ready to move at any moment in her anomaly.

-Kikii Iik!!

The sky began to turn black with a terrible sound like scraping stone dust.

“…That’s it.”

In a silence full of tension that could be heard even if a needle fell.

Someone opened his mouth.

You Choa.

The protagonist of this world.

She pointed to the blackened sky, and there the black sky.

No, I saw a bird flapping its wings, dyeing the sky black.

A bird that paints the sky black with graceful movements of its blue wings.

Looking down at us from the air.

One of the gateways you must pass through to see the true ending.

It was a blue bird that called the end.
