I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

9 – Going to Mo is Faster – 4

There are several special areas in Hero Academy.

A zone where masters exist according to each aptitude.

For example, ‘Sword Forest’ for those who have an aptitude for swords.

It’s like the ‘Pond of Tao’ for those who have an aptitude for Dao.

In the case of buffers with the aptitude of ‘enhancement’, ‘Sanctuary of the Soul’ is one such area.

Through that place, when the skill proficiency was maxed out, it was possible to change it to a higher skill. Of course, the sanctuary of the soul doesn’t exist, so the buffs won’t be treated very well.

I’m busy filling up the proficiency of other skills, but even if I train steadily, I can’t change to a higher skill, so it’s known as inefficient because there is no Azazel.

Well, that has nothing to do with me. If you take the true ending route, you will meet Azazel, and then I will try to extract as much as I can.

Anyway, not only the places related to aptitude are blocked like that, but there are places that open according to the academic schedule, events, or story progress, and one of them is the student council area.

In order to enter here, you have to go through an event to become a member of the student council, but from the beginning, there were some characters who were eligible for that.

One of them is Jin Shi-yeon.

“By the way, you were kicked out of the student council. Do you want to go back there?”

“Can’t I?”

“No way, no way. But even so…”

I know what you mean. The fact that the student council didn’t like me.

“It was quite famous. He had the aptitude for recovery, but I never thought Heal would be so weak… I heard that he even fed you an elixir? It’s not a very good elixir.”

In Hero Academy, elixir is an item that increases the ability of growth aptitude by 0.1 When taken in the beginning and gives a bonus during training.

The value of 0.1 Is quite large in the beginning, so if you took it, you would have to grow up, but at that level, you would definitely be reluctant.

“So you said they recruited other healers?”

“No. I just heard that the other seniors decided to take the lead.”

As if he wasn’t very interested, Jin Shi-yeon shrugged her shoulders leisurely.

“Actually, I wonder if a healer is needed.”

“What are you talking about?”

“After all, healing is for recovery, isn’t it? A true healer is someone who defeats all enemies before they get hurt.”

Oops. Nice woman…

She smiled at my admiration and walked away with great strides. So we walked and arrived at a large garden. At the end of this garden is the Student Council of Hero Academy.

“From now on, you have to be careful too. The only people in the student council right now are the president and the management department, and the management department won’t be in the main building for other things. And… Um. One thing that will take time is when the president comes out after the closing training. It’s just that it’s done. Well, the president won’t criticize you, as long as you follow the rules.”

I will.

“There are many traps and piles set up by the seniors in the student council area. Don’t wander around anywhere.”

“I know.”

I thought there were only traps and piles.

There are golems in the closed training hall of the student council, and there are sleeping dragons in the basement of the student council.

It’s a dragon, nothing will happen if the story doesn’t progress, so let’s just quietly follow him around.

– uuu…!!

As I was about to pass through the garden and enter the large building in the back, light radiated from the huge stone statue in front of the building.

A guardian who protects the Student Council. The giant soldier that prevents unauthorized persons from entering began to stare at me with red eyes, and Jin Si-yeon immediately took out a card.

“A companion. A student council officer has the right to let one companion in, right?”

Saying that, Jin Si-yeon held out one of her cards to me. Companion’s visitor card. The light disappears from the giant soldier’s eyes only after he sees me receiving it.

Ugh. I was surprised.

“Come on. Let’s go.”

As she said, it seemed as if there were no seniors.

That’s why I was able to head straight to the training ground with Jin Si-yeon without any disturbance.

“You seem to know that you can train at a higher level at the student council training ground, right?”

As evidenced by Jin Si-yeon’s words, the facility itself was much better than the basic training ground.

If you look at the archery training ground over there right now, there are facilities that use magic or energy cores, unlike basic training grounds such as archery ranges…

Of course, that’s not what I want.

“Can I watch you cut your knife while you’re here?”

“Huh? That doesn’t matter, but…”

“And if your training points are above a certain level, isn’t there something you can get?”

“…What? Do you know? After all, you were also a prospective member of the Student Council.”

This is one of the reasons why the student council’s training ground is better than other training grounds.

There is an item that is paid whenever a certain score or more is achieved during training.

There are a minimum level of 1 to a maximum of 10 levels, and if you are Jin Shi-yeon now, you will be able to clear level 3.

“I’ve reached level 3 now. They say I’m the best of the freshmen.”

“Let’s skip step 4 today.”

“It’s easy to say.”

No. It will be easy.

I held out her hand to Jin Si-yeon.

“…What is this?”

And the blessings of the Holy Spirit and the Diamond Sutra.

Compared to the last time I used it on Elizabeth and the rest of her children, her mental strength and proficiency have improved, so the buff power must have been stronger.

“This is it. The reason we were able to beat Instructor Kim Yeon-ha.”

“But rather than winning…”

“Ugh. The opponent admitted defeat and won. I won. I won. Just think about the result.”

“I have nothing to say if you say that.”

“Anyway, did you keep your promise?”

I pushed Jin Si-yeon’s back and she panicked and went into the training ground.

-Trainer Jin Shi-yeon. Start testing.

And.

“Haaa!!”

Every time Jin Shi-yeon’s sword flashes, the illusions that appear disappear. She gets points based on how many and how hard she catches….

…

Is it higher than expected?

If you do this well, isn’t it the 5th step?

– Trainer Jin Shi-yeon. Scored a total of 31,022 points. She has earned the 5th level reward.

I never thought I would get a real 5th level reward.

As expected, a buffer is essential for dildo.

I feel that my value is on the rise.

I’m still like this, but I’m afraid of how bad I’ll be if I meet Azazel.

“Heh, heh… Heh, heh…”

Jin Si-yeon walked out of the training ground and looked at the screen drenched in sweat, as if she couldn’t control the power that had been strengthened by her blessing of the Holy Spirit and her Diamond Sutra.

A screen with a congratulatory message for entering stage 5. And two rewards paid out.

I approached it and took out one of the rewards, a bracelet.

“I reached level 5 thanks to me, so can I take this as a reward?”

“…That’s…”

Twilight Bracelet.

Allows you to use ‘Shadow of Twilight’, one of the buffs, when equipped.

“It’s okay to take the 5th level reward as well.”

Oh. She is also the eldest daughter of Jinga Shin. She’s got a big barrel.

If you think the 5th level reward is an elixir, you should accept it with gratitude.

“I have a question for you. What you did earlier…”

“Buff.”

“Buff? But at this level, it’s much better than other seniors…”

“I specialize in buffs. Anyway, I’ll eat well and use it well.”

I got the elixir!

Should I sell it?

Then goodbye to living on water, salt and sugar!

…Let’s just eat.

Money is something you can earn later.

Now, investing for the future comes first.

[Spirit has increased by 0.1.]

Oh! A whopping 0.1 Mental strength…! I’m not too happy. This made my buff a bit stronger!

“By the way, I know that Twilight’s Shadow isn’t a very good skill… They said it wouldn’t work even if you only went to intermediate dungeons.”

Since there is no proper buffer right now, there is nothing wrong with Jin Si-yeon’s evaluation, but it is a different story for a buffer specialist who receives a mental bonus like me.

The Shadow of Twilight is a buff that increases resistance against abnormal conditions.

There will be a lot of nasty elemental attacks later, but there are a lot of consumables to carry without the shadow of twilight.

That’s why it’s definitely an advantage if you can clear it with one or two buffs.

Because there is a limit on belongings.

“Anyway, I think I understand now. After all, it wasn’t just Elizabeth’s strength.”

Actually, I can’t say that it’s not affected by my strategy.

“Huh. Well, I know his level… It was weird.”

“Hey. Elizabeth fights well…”

– Eudeuk.

Don’t grind your teeth. Scary.

I know that you two are childhood friends, but you see each other as competitors.

Anyway, I’ve finished all the important things at the student council… I still want to try Jin Shi-yeon, so let’s practice here at the archery range.

“Hmm. Anyway, how do you plan to organize your team for the next training session? If you choose your teammates, I’m willing to work with you.”

“No, how can you say such a horrible thing even to put it in your mouth?”

What is the team leader?

You can get points without doing such troublesome things, so why are you doing that?

Aptitude is a pretty important setting in Hero Academia.

The aptitude given to the Awakeners was a talent in itself and could be called a blessing.

Of course, the aptitude can change through some events or quests, but that’s not a common case, so let’s exclude it.

Anyway, aptitude gives skill proficiency, attack power, defense power, and other stat bonuses when performing actions suitable for that aptitude, and skills can be learned from those with the same aptitude.

Then, if your aptitude is different, can’t you go in a different direction from your aptitude?

And that’s not the case.

As you progress through the main story, you will go through an event called Gaehwa, at which time you can acquire one more aptitude.

Someone acquires an aptitude that matches his/her existing aptitude, and someone else says why? There is a setting that says, “Sometimes I get an absurd aptitude that makes me think…”

However, it has nothing to do with characters beyond the lead role in Hero Academia.

Because it’s also a future that has already been decided for them.

The problem is me.

How do you know what kind of aptitude the character Yohan Kim will have since he is not from Hero Academia, and what kind of abilities he will develop once he blooms?

Then there is only one thing to do now.

I don’t know what will happen, so I just choose the direction in which I can live as safely as possible and the path as a buffer.

– Trainer Yohan Kim. Start beginner archery training.

Originally, it’s common for buffers to only give buffs from the rear and eat ramen, but isn’t it necessary to pull aggro when busy?

To do that, a gun or a bow is the best.

A gun isn’t bad in terms of power, but it comes with a sanity reduction penalty.

– Missed!

Of course, I’m not saying it’s easy to write.

I tried to shoot an arrow at a still target, but it flew off to the wrong place.

Isn’t this a strange bow?

-Do you want to use aim assist?

As I grabbed my training bow and tried to get back into position, I heard a voice.

Is there such a thing?

“If you have help like that, you don’t have to tell me! Use it right away!

– Use aim assist.

Light emanates from the training bow and arrow. I picked it up and pointed it at the target again, and the hit rate began to appear.

Oh… It feels like playing an FPS.

Okay. 87% Hit rate…

Shot!

– Missed!

87% Missed.

“Breathing is bad. The posture is also at the level of imitation. Spread your feet and turn around. And don’t put too much strength in the hand holding the bow.”

Even in the game, when I was training alone, there were times when someone would come and give me advice or help.

Is that an event?

I turned my head and could see the owner of the voice.

The main character of Hero Academia.

A woman with dark red long hair who is currently a class A hero despite being a student.

Ryusena.

He was the student council president.

I never thought I would really meet you.
