I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

230 – The King’s Sword – 5

Cheon Soo-ho’s eyes were about to roll at the word elixir. While Elizabeth smiled and nodded at him, the lady turned her gaze to me.

“I’m sorry I felt like I took advantage of you. If you need anything, I’ll give it to you. What do you want?”

“Can I get just one strand of your lady’s hair?”

“uh?!”

“Why that? Do you like hair?! Come on! Come on! You can touch my hair!”

Yu Choa, who was next to me, extended her orange hair to me. Of course, her hair is nice, but that’s not why I want to get a lady’s hair.

“…Ho. He’s not an ordinary guy. Are you asking to know what my hair is?”

“Isn’t this a pass to Avalon?”

The owner of Avalon is the Lady of the Lake. To go to that place on the border between life and death, you need the lady’s permission. And that permission was for the noble lady’s hair. Only those who possessed it could enter Avalon.

Of course, I don’t plan on going. I asked for it because I needed it.

“Hehehe. That’s bold. That kind of boldness is like Percival. I like it.”

She smiled, took off a strand of hair, and lightly blew on me. The long, beautiful hair that flew in the sky naturally rested on my hand. I rolled it up nicely, put it in a small plastic bag inside my bag, and bowed my head to the Lady of the Lake.

“thank you.”

“Nothing much. Then… I wish you blessings on your journey.”

This time too, it disappears without a sound. But it didn’t matter. Because now the work here is over.

“Is it… the end?”

“That’s the end. Okay, thank you all for your hard work! Let’s give a round of applause and disperse!!”

“No, that’s not a problem! You’ve worked so hard and you’re just going to end it? Elizabeth! Don’t you think you should get a kick out of it?!”

The one who benefited the most this time was Elizabeth. That’s why Serenia poked her in the side and Elizabeth laughed out loud, covering her mouth.

“Ohhohohohohohohoho!! Of course!! I’ll treat you properly today! Eat and drink as much as you want!!”

“oooh! That’s exciting!”

“Is it possible to get a bonus? Huh? Huh?”

“Hahaha!! Of course it’s possible!!”

“Woohyo! Thank you!!”

When Gi Ki-yeol heard the bonus, he tried to kneel down as if he was going to swear allegiance to old man Breath. While Old Man Breath was holding him and laughing, Cheon Soo-ho approached him.

“Hey, Elizabeth.”

“Oh yeah!”

Elizabeth immediately placed the elixir on top of Cheonsuho.

“Huh!? They give it to you this easily?!”

“Didn’t we promise? If we get the elixir someday, we’ll give it to you.”

“Uh…uh, uhm, thank you.”

“Make sure to say thank you to Johan!! If it wasn’t for Johan, we wouldn’t have come here!”

It’s not wrong, but I wouldn’t have gotten it if it weren’t for the people here. How would you have passed those tests? I shook my head and walked shoulder to shoulder with Cheon Soo-ho.

“Damn it. It’s okay to cry. And that’s the chief’s distribution.”

“Who’s crying!! Kwaak! Do you think I won’t aim for the top position if I get this!!”

Yoo Cho-ah giggled at Cheon Soo-ho’s crying cry. Jin Si-yeon also smiled faintly, perhaps finding it funny that he seemed to be trying to hide his shame rather than his anger.

“Okay! Then I’ll take you to a very delicious place! It’s in England, but it will suit your tastes just right!!”

Serenia’s eyes lit up at her mother’s words. Delicious food and cold drinks. It seems he is very happy to hear that he is providing her with what she most desires.

“Let’s go! Sister!”

Although it’s called a British restaurant, it doesn’t serve British food, so the food was quite delicious. The beer and whiskey there were also great.

When given the opportunity to eat and drink as much as she wanted, Serenia did not give in.

While she was happily drinking, Cheon Su-ho, who had been restless, stood up from his seat.

“I’ll go first.”

“Uh, okay. Let’s go together. I have something to say too.”

“Then let’s go together!!”

Elizabeth stood up along with him. Yoo Cho-ah and Jin Si-yeon looked like they were about to get up, but were caught by Serenia and her mother.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go now, Mr. Breath. If you need a healer, please contact me at any time.”

Gi Ki-yeol, who received a generous daily wage and a generous bonus, seemed satisfied. Actually, I should be happy because I earned more money than if I went to some ruins five times.

As I looked at the store where those who were going would go and those who would stay would stay, I said to old man Breath.

“The second round is at the Taylor family mansion?”

“Hahahaha! That’s how it is! That’s how it is! I’m going to bring out my secret wine, so look forward to it!!”

and. What do you think of Old Man Breath’s secret wine? I’m looking forward to it.

“Hey. Let’s go.”

Cheon Su-ho, who was fidgeting at the entrance like a puppy that wanted to poop, said. If you keep waiting for this, I will go alone. Elizabeth, me, and Ki Ki-yeol got up from our seats and followed Cheon Soo-ho out.

“Do you like it?”

The steps seem quite light. The corner of Cheon Soo-ho’s mouth continued to twitch.

“Okay. Then.”

“You’re not going to take it easy now that you got the elixir, right?!”

“The reason I’ve been aiming for top honors so far was to attack ruins and obtain elixirs as soon as I graduate.”

“so?”

“But it’s different now, Elizabeth! Let me declare it here! To be honest, I got the Elixir thanks to you guys! So I’ll tell you here!! That favor! I will repay you by becoming a senior!”

“…They return the favor with vengeance. Are they twins…”

“Ohhohohohohoho!! That’s right! Feel free to challenge for the throne!”

However, Cheon Soo-ho’s appearance was not a bad thing. The higher you go, the stronger Cheonsuho will become.

He, who should be participating in the final fight against the apocalypse, stops, and I have no wish for him to stop.

“Hey, Ki Ki-yeol, you work hard too. The amount of healing is good, but it doesn’t last long. You know that?”

“Hmm. I guess I need to train some more.”

The amount of healing itself was higher than that of Serenia, so if Giwon-yeol’s staying power had been just a little bit shorter, it would have been a disaster in the third test.

I said this, remembering that time, and he nodded slightly as if he acknowledged it.

“I have to work harder to become the most valuable healer.”

During the reflection meeting and on the way back, I, who had been watching from behind, continued to point out things, and both of us promised to train more without any complaints.

“Okay then. I’ll just leave.”

“Say hello to Hyejeong. I’ll be there later, so tell her I’ll see you then. Hey, Junyeol. Say hello to your younger siblings.”

“Okay, here we go.”

“Call me next time you have anything else to do!”

Cheon Soo-ho and Ki Ki-yeol move through the gate. When I saw they were gone, I looked at Elizabeth.

“Shall we go back?”

“is it so.”

Elizabeth lightly crossed my arms and gently rested her head on my shoulder. Is it because I washed up before going to the bar? Elizabeth’s body scent and the nice scent of the shampoo mixed together to please my nose.

“…It seems like I always just take things from you.”

“I also receive a lot of this and that. So don’t worry too much.”

“Hmm. I can’t help but pay attention…”

Elizabeth slowly held out her hand. At that moment, the water vapor in the air gathered and turned into water, and the water transformed into a beautiful sword.

“You quickly got used to taking out Excalibur, didn’t you?”

“I’m not disappointed even though I don’t have a sheath. Hehe. I said I was a sheath, right?”

That’s what the lady said when I left. The scabbard of this sword is destroyed. So you yourself must become the sheath of the sword. While saying that, I taught him how to summon Excalibur.

“Yes. I remember it well. It would have been nice if it had a sheath…”

Even in Hero Academia, the scabbard was not available. Because it was destroyed in the first place and ceased to exist.

“Hmm. This is enough. And… I don’t plan on using Excalibur for a while.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Excalibur is good, but… I like the blessed sword I received from you better, right?”

He sounds hungry. Why use a famous sword that won’t go away no matter how roughly you use it…

But I didn’t think Elizabeth would listen even if I told her, so I just kept my mouth shut. Because he was thinking of me too.

“You only use Excalibur… when dealing with your enemies.”

“My enemy is your enemy and your enemy is my enemy.”

“Ohhohohohoho! Is that so? Well, we are of one mind!”

I guess I felt good. Elizabeth smiled brightly and hugged my arm even more. I really like the squishy, soft feel that touches my arm.

“Um… Johan. Then, could you do me one more favor?”

“What please?”

“Can’t you slow down your steps to the mansion just a little bit?”

I had no choice but to smile and accept her foolish wish to monopolize me even a little more.

Arrived at the mansion and enjoyed the second party.

The wine was really good.

After drinking enough wine to the point of numbness, I returned to my assigned room, grabbed my dizzy head, and put my hand in my bag.

Lady’s hair. A pass to go to Avalon.

I put it in my pocket, then used the angel feather and opened the door.

When the door opens, instead of the hallway you should exit, you see stairs leading down to the basement. I went down there, and Azazel, who was waiting, asked me with a gentle smile.

“What’s going on?”

“I came to learn the beliefs of the soul.”

soul beliefs.

A powerful buffing device that tells you why a buffer is a buffer.

When she mentioned a skill that could only be learned from Azazel, a deeper smile appeared on her lips.

“I guess you’re prepared for that price, right?”

“yes.”

He held out the lady’s hair that he had taken out of his pocket. After receiving it, Azazel nodded in satisfaction and opened his mouth.

“I will teach you from now on.”
