I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

chapter 24



24 – Who will win – 1

“Slow.”

“Quang!”

I didn’t have to fix things like posture. Because I have been training consistently for a long time.

So after shooting the bow the first few times, I entered the arena with Ryusena.

Like the last time I used it in the dungeon, Ryusena didn’t use a spear. What she carried was a practice bow provided in her training ground. Grabbing a few spongy-tipped arrows prepared for sparring, she started with her archers in a duel.

Fighting with only a bow in a large arena. This is the best way to properly learn moving and aiming shooting.

Since I have to do what I’m told, I decided to just obey.

The result is this.

“You have to aim quickly when shooting on the move. If you use it at the level you are doing now.”

“Quang!”

You’re right again! No, this arrowhead is definitely using a sponge and even the Diamond Sutra, so why does it hurt so much?!

Looking at the arrow that hit her shoulder, I frowned, but Ryu Sena didn’t even pay attention to her.

“It seems that the accuracy itself has increased with the help of the equipment, but I have to increase the aiming speed.”

“Are you saying I need to learn a skill?”

“No. This is just fine for training.”

Those with the ‘archer’ aptitude receive bonuses to accuracy and aiming speed. Unless there is such a thing, training is the only answer in order to have a decent level of aiming speed and accuracy.

She reached her hand toward her waist as she fiddled with her practice bow with her grave expression.

Two arrows are caught in the string.

“It’s good if you have the skill. But even if you don’t have it, depending on your training, it’s possible.”

– Wedge!!

Two arrows that cut through the wind hit both my shoulders. While I was frowning at the intense pain, she quickly approached and aimed an arrow at my neck.

“To be a proper archer, you have to be able to move. You move too slowly.”

“I’m the rear support.”

The reason I’m learning the bow is to hinder the movement of the enemies in the middle, or to draw attention.

I hope you don’t expect too much from Buffer.

“Yes? In that case. Anyway, let’s try again.”

The arrows she had shot at me were already in her hand as she slipped back. Did you come here to retrieve the arrow?

Um… Anyway, I’d like to guess at least one. Like a loach, it escapes well, so it doesn’t fit.

“… Huh?”

“Huh?”

Gap!

While glaring at her, I turned my gaze toward her entrance. Seeing that, Ryusena looked away, aiming for a shot!

“Oh my God! This is a miss!”

I created a perfect gap!

Is it because the skill gap is too big?

Ryu Sena, who avoided her flying arrows by slightly twisting her body, frowned at her as if she was upset.

“Trick…”

“Couldn’t you say it was an operation?

What. Why. What.

This is also an operation.

“You’re not wrong.”

A slow-drawn string was aimed at me.

“Gamble everything you have.”

Uh… You’re not angry, are you?

When the training was over, I was in rags. Of course, Ryusena was fine.

That’s why I sat down on the floor and said.

“Huh. It was a waste. It was just a piece of paper.”

“…Is the paper thickness of about 1m based on your standards?”

That’s just what they say. What are you holding on to?

“Anyway, thank you. I think I got a rough idea.”

Of course, I couldn’t hit even one shot, but I did drive it to the moment of crisis.

“Yeah. I felt like it was a bit much at the end. I’d love to do more if time permits…”

It was already time for the training ground to close, and it was very late.

It’s not that I don’t have anything to do so that the student council president can catch me and teach me, so I can’t ask for more.

“May I ask you another favor next time?”

“…Hmm? Are you okay? My training is quite forceful.”

“This is great.”

“I see. All right. Then call me next time you need me.”

The chairman, who was staring at me, turned around and walked away. Ruler. Then I’ll go back soon…

“Johaan…”

“Surprised. Hey. Why do you always appear so suddenly?”

It was Elizabeth. Wearing her workout clothes, it seems that she also did her training.

“… Kill… Kill… Give me…”

And next to them were Hyejin and… Yoo Choa.

Looking at them both exhausted and panting, it must have been Taylor training.

By the way, let’s say Hyejin is like that. Did Yuchoa train her even though she’s not on the same team?

“Did you train with them?”

“Yeah! But what about you?! Did you train with the president?!”

“Huh? Yes. I want to learn how to shoot properly.”

“…You mean you’re going to do your best! Then I’ll do my best too!”

I really hope it doesn’t.

The next day.

I moved to the front of the annex with Max and Choa Yoo.

Everyone is in high spirits. After all, everyone should be confident in their skills enough to apply for the Chunri Chujonghyang.

“Is everyone gathered? Then let’s go.”

The judge of Cheonrichujonghyang stepped forward. When he arrived at the gate, there were also armed seniors in front of the gate.

“Test scores are relative. We will evaluate how many and strong monsters we caught… Ah. If you feel dangerous, use a flare.”

And the signal flares paid. If this is there, it seems that the seniors are coming to help.

“And… Be aware that if you attack another tester, your evaluation will be 0 points. In addition, there is a very good reward if you place first. Then, let’s start right away. Let’s start with Group A.”

“Let’s go.”

Me, Yoo Choa, and Max, who are in Group A, went right into the gate, and as soon as they entered, what they saw was a fairly large forest.

“This is…”

“It looks like a forest of cedar trees. Let’s move first.”

There are no monsters around the gate. I came first, so shouldn’t I get a seat quickly?

We went into the forest, being wary of our surroundings, and looked at the surroundings using the sunlight seen through the thick arborvitae trees as a standard.

“Where was this place?”

“Baengnyeongdo.”

The academy said they bought several islands for training or testing. And among the forests owned by the academy, Baengnyeongdo and Seungbongdo are the only places with a large number of cypress trees.

“There’s a lighthouse over there. That lighthouse is on Baengnyeong Island.”

I see a lighthouse at the end of the forest, similar to the one I saw on TV before.

“I see. Baekryeong Island… Anyway, let’s move. What kind of monsters are in the training ground on Baekryeong Island?”

“First of all, Mook… And some undead appear. And…”

– KEAEAK!!

With a bizarre scream, a monster that seemed to have raised a lizard screamed in this direction.

Big Lizard. It is one of the E-class monsters.

“That type of reptile.”

“Then take one shot first!”

Yuchoa immediately threw the magical cannonball she had prepared in her hand. As Big Lizard tumbled to the floor with an explosion, Max held her face.

“It’s ignorant. If you make a fuss like that, other prey won’t run away.”

“Mook, but you heard that earlier? In this test, how many ‘many’ and ‘strong’ monsters you catch are important.”

Most of the strong monsters are the first monsters, so you’re saying you’re going to make a fuss like this? It’s not a bad choice, but it can be risky.

“You don’t think about taking care of yourself.”

Max clicked his tongue and pulled out the longsword that was worn around his waist. A shot at the head of the Big Lizard, who spun it around, corrected his stance, and rushed forward.

-Queeek!!

Yoo Choa’s attack and Max’s attack continue. Then I can’t play either.

Get the buff!!

-Quaaa!!

The blessing of the Holy Spirit to Choa Yoo and the Diamond Sutra to Max.

And since the Big Lizard also has a poison property attack, the shadow of twilight also hits Max.

Max, who was struck by the poison of the Big Lizard but escaped without any damage, had a puzzled look on his face.

“…This? What is it? This.”

“It’s a buff.”

“Buff?! But…”

“Hey! You attack!”

“Ah. I see.”

The big lizard that was thrown out quickly rushes forward. A rushing attack based on hard scales won’t end if it hurts.

If it wasn’t for the Diamond Sutra.

“…Um?”

I got hit by a rushing attack, but Max just tilted his head. Thanks to Subhuti’s rosary, the Diamond Sutra’s defense power has increased, so there seems to be no damage itself.

“Suck!!”

Max hit Big Lizard’s weak point, his side, and smiled while looking at his hand.

“After all, he wasn’t just a simple healer.”

“Really?”

“Well. I figured it out because I was like me. Even Elizabeth would know that she couldn’t penetrate Instructor Kim Yeon-ha’s wind curtain so easily.”

“Oh…”

“I heard that you guys also caught sword demons? If you try to combine them like this, it comes to the conclusion that you have something.”

It was a sober analysis.

“By the way, I didn’t know that trashy buffs could be like this. I did a lot of research on heroes in my own way, but…”

“Hey, guys? Why don’t you stop talking and focus on hunting?”

No, so I should have slowed down a bit.

But it is as Yoo Choa said. Perhaps because of the heavy drinking, big lizards were secretly coming out of the forest.

“John! Are you ready?”

“Me anytime.”

After blessing Choa Yoo with the Holy Spirit, I gave the Diamond Sutra to Max, who was in the vanguard, and grabbed the bow.

“Shouldn’t we aim for 1st place once this has happened?!”

I laughed at Yoo Choa who shouted excitedly.

That sounds a bit difficult.

There are so many monsters.

But…

Isn’t it kind of giving up without even trying?
