I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

218 – Offensive – 5

After that, there were no more voices.

In Hero Academia, ordinary NPCs are only told whether they can handle the apocalypse, and those who are strong in their own way are even told to find them.

In other words, I am also receiving recognition in my own way.

I took out the angel feather I had kept in my pocket.

The angel’s feathers, emitting a soft light, were sparkling as if telling Azazel to go to him right now.

But there was no need to go looking for it.

Because if you go to Azazel, it’s obvious what he’ll say.

So I put the feather back in my pocket and continued my training.

It is better to practice the skill one more time than to waste time needlessly.

next day. After taking class, I met Cheon Soo-ho in the afternoon.

“Come early too.”

“Instructor Kim Yeon-ha said she had a lot to announce.”

“What notice?”

“Notice regarding the next external training. That being said… are you ready anyway?”

Cheon Soo-ho held up the equipment. After confirming that, I turned my attention to Max and Ki Ki-yeol, who had decided to go with me this time. It looks like everyone is ready.

“I think there’s a bit of a shortage of dealers.”

There is a tank, a healer, and a buffer, but there is only one dealer. It’s a noble party in its own way. I pointed to one side as I walked shoulder to shoulder with Cheon Soo-ho, who was muttering regretfully.

“uh?”

The person walking there was none other than Student Council President Ryu Sena. Cheon Soo-ho looked at me in confusion at her coming.

“Did you call me?”

“Yes. It looks like the student council also needs a core.”

Dummies and golems use energy cores.

The amount of energy that goes into each proper battle is considerably more than you might think.

Of course, there were some supports, but that alone had limitations in operating at the level the student council wanted.

“It looks like you came to get the energy core.”

“yes.”

Since Joo Se-hee was no longer aiming for the position of student council president, Ryu Se-na was able to move more freely.

Now that I can decide that it’s okay to leave for a while, I contacted her yesterday.

Why don’t you go get the energy core?

“Hmm. Everyone knows this person, so there’s no need for an introduction. I heard you’re going to a red-level dungeon three times this time. I’m planning to participate as a dealer, so please be kind to me.”

Max and Ryu Sena would be enough for a dealer lineup, right?

Everyone nodded at my gaze, perhaps because they knew of Ryu Sena’s power.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

Since there were only so many people, conquering the red dungeon was not that difficult. By the time I finished going through all the reserved dungeons, the sun had completely set.

-Tiring!

As I came out of the dungeon and watched the soldiers clearing up the area, the terminal rang. When I checked, it was a photo taken of three people wearing pretty pajamas together.

[We’re going to sleep tonight!]

This is a message that Yoo Cho-ah’s lively voice can’t help but hear. I did what was appropriate and sent a reply saying that I would grow up, then put the terminal in my pocket.

“Hey. I heard there’s another red dungeon?”

Gi Ki-yeol, who was checking the terminal, showed me a map. This is a map related to the current dungeon occurrence area provided by the association, and it says that a red dungeon has occurred again.

“Until last year, there weren’t that many red dungeons…”

Ryusena, who was drinking water, also checked the terminal and muttered briefly. It seems like everyone has sensed to some extent that something is going on.

“The number of black dungeons hasn’t changed, but other dungeons are increasing. No, that’s not all. Have you seen the news?”

Max operated the terminal and floated the screen in the air. It was news from three days ago.

“A wave has occurred again. It’s not that big, but… waves are occurring more frequently than last year. No, not even last year. To be exact, it’s been like this since the blue bird of the apocalypse appeared.”

It’s as they say. A lot has changed since the blue bird of the apocalypse appeared.

Dungeons are being strengthened, waves are increasing, etc.

The number of dungeons and ruins occurring increases.

like.

“It appears to pose a threat to humanity.”

Cheon Soo-ho spoke indifferently, and we kept our mouths shut.

“What? I was just talking about it? Why are you taking it so seriously? Hey. Hey, tell me something. You’re anxious.”

I couldn’t say anything to Cheon Soo-ho, who caught me in a cold sweat. Because he’s right.

“Has anyone had auditory hallucinations recently?”

Cheon Soo-ho raised his hand in response to Ryu Sena’s serious words.

“I heard my girlfriend heard it?”

“…okay?”

Well, Hyejeong must have also used something related to angels for treatment.

“My sister said she heard it too.”

Ki Ki-yeol also spoke with a serious expression, and Ryu Sena briefly clicked her tongue and looked around.

“They said there were people among the soldiers who heard it. And the contents…”

“Can you handle the apocalypse?”

“If you can’t handle it, come find yourself…”

“Huh? All Hyejeong heard was whether you could handle the apocalypse?”

“My brother heard it until later.”

After hearing Ki Ki-yeol’s words, Ryu Sena nodded.

“Actually, I heard that too. It’s the apocalypse… You all know that, right? In 1999 and 2012, there were two huge crises.”

“Yes?”

“The blue bird that brought about the apocalypse appeared. And now things like this are happening. Again…”

-Wheeeeee!! Weeeeeee!!

Before Ryu Sena finished speaking, a sharp alarm sounded from our terminal. When I checked, it was an alarm that a villain had appeared nearby. Upon receiving a call from nearby heroes to gather, Ryu Sena grabbed her sword.

“…The villains have a focal point. It looks like something will happen sooner or later. Everyone, be careful. Ah. And are you going to go here?”

If you catch the villain, you can get a reward. We went through the red dungeon three times, but we all felt only slight fatigue, so we nodded.

“Hot. Then let’s go.”

With her short words, we headed to where the villain was.

Explosions and screams were heard in the city center, not far from where I was.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!!”

“We were chosen! We were chosen!!”

It was a frantic cry. Five villains were destroying various places while using their abilities. Indiscriminate attack.

Cheon Soo-ho gritted his teeth at the attack, which seemed to induce confusion rather than attack a special facility.

“You b*stards. If you have the strength to go on a rampage, you will attack dungeons.”

“Because he doesn’t do those things, he’s a villain. Now then…”

I turned on the buff right away.

“Let’s earn some points.”

The villains weren’t that strong. In terms of grade, it is at a C level.

However, if even these guys decide to commit terrorism, the damage will be considerable.

This level of chaos was caused by the actions of only five villains.

We watched as the tied-up villains were dragged away by the Association’s heroes.

“They say there has been an increase in these types of terrorist attacks these days… What on earth is going to happen?”

“well…”

“Hmm? Isn’t it Kim Yohan?”

It was then. A voice is heard among the heroes.

“Huh? Old man.”

The person who approached with an ax was Old Man Man-reok.

When the man we had walked through the black dungeon with last time approached, we immediately greeted him and, smiling happily, introduced us to the other heroes who approached us.

“The academy cadets are already performing well like this.”

“Haha! This is true! If we do this, we can retire too?!”

“What such a sad thing to say! I haven’t been overtaken by young people yet!”

They were elderly people who looked similar in age. Since they were all experienced heroes and our seniors, we greeted them as well, and after smiling happily, they started moving again to clean up the surroundings.

“These days, the villains are planning an offensive, so we don’t have enough people. Thank you very much.”

“It was something that had to be done.”

“So, there is something I would like the Academy to know about. It is also known to all active heroes…”

“What do you mean?”

“A place where angels are resting. I hope you find that place. According to the information I have found out so far, it is said to be one of the dungeons…”

Where angels rest.

It refers to a dungeon where angels settle down to intervene in this world like demons did.

“Why are you looking there?”

“Just in case. Just in case.”

With a bitter smile, he looked into the distance.

“Because humanity may not be able to handle the apocalypse…”

The weight of the word ‘end’ was never small. It’s hard for those who are just academy cadets to handle it.

Cheon Soo-ho bit his lip, Ryu Sena crossed her arms as if thinking about something, and Ki Ki-yeol and Max closed their eyes.

I was the only one who maintained my normalcy.

“Anyway, I plan to cooperate with the Academy soon. I don’t know what kind of dungeon it is, so if I keep going, I’ll be able to find it. Then, good luck.”

As old man Manleok, who left a brief greeting, walked away, we who had been silent also came to our senses.

“Let’s go.”

Not much was said while returning to the academy. It seems everyone had a lot to think about.

So, I arrived at the academy and Cheon Soo-ho caught me at the crossroads leading to the dormitories.

“Let’s talk.”

“okay.”

As Max, Ki Ki-yeol, and President Ryu Sena walked away, I headed to a nearby bench with them. He bought a drink from the vending machine next to the bench, threw it to me as I sat down, and asked.

“Do you know anything about the apocalypse?”

“Well… why do you ask that?”

“Because when I ask you, I always get the answer. No. Change the question. Can we handle the apocalypse?”

“there is.”

Preparations are already progressing step by step.
