I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

18 – What Happened on the Mission Lab – 5

For a first mission, the enemy was a little too much.

Who in the world have so many corpses?

“…1999, The day the Great King of Terror descended from the sky. Monsters and dungeons began to appear all over the world.”

From Shin Haerang’s muttering, it seemed like he knew why there were so many corpses.

Those who were sacrificed when the first monsters and dungeons occurred.

Those who suffered when the Awoken did not use their power.

It was their bodies.

No, that wasn’t all.

“…And when the second blue bird appeared.”

When the Awakened grew stronger to face monsters and dungeons and became accustomed to battle, a blue bird called the end appeared.

And then the wave started.

The nightmare of 2012

Humanity has been hit hard again by monsters that have occurred on a large scale all over the world, commonly called waves.

Of course, compared to the beginning, they were prepared, so the damage was not as great as that time, but the number of victims was by no means small.

Maybe they are included in them.

Involuntarily, I turned my eyes to Yoo Choa. Her face, which was always smiling, was hardened.

Yes.

She was also one of the victims that day.

2012. Because Yoo Choa’s mother died due to an attack by monsters.

“They probably…”

“…I can’t forgive you.”

Yuchoa gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

He watched the screen while fiddling with her own shield and asked.

“When do we move?”

“There’s no need for you guys to go out on your own. You guys are the final guardians.”

Shin Haerang tapped her keyboard and after a while the screen changed.

A dummy starting to move. A golem that raises its body.

The research center’s defenses begin preparing for the undead that have returned from the dead.

“Those will be able to stop it to some extent.”

“I see… I see.”

“But you can’t trust only dummies and golems. Villains are clever. Those corpses might just be there to deal with dummies and golems.”

Shin Haerang was also a hero, so she was well aware of the tactics of the villains.

That’s right. Even in the game, that number of enemies was just part of the event, and the cadets of the academy had other enemies to deal with.

“Then let’s watch it for now. In the meantime, let’s relax.”

“Okay.”

“Anyway, there are a lot of them… I wonder if it’ll be okay…”

It will be fine. Even on the screen, the dummy was strong and the golem was solid.

The magic cannon fired from the defense facility prepared and decided by the research institute was destroying dozens of corpses at once.

Of course, there were a lot of enemies, and there were also corpse giants made of undead, so it seemed like it couldn’t be stopped with that alone.

“That… Was a skeleton. Its rank was a bit higher than that of Mook, right?”

“Is that the default?”

I’ve heard of it before in class. Among the undead monsters, the one that could be said to be the weakest was the skeleton.

As such, it will be easily defeated by the lab’s defense.

-Kwaaang!! Kwaaang!!

But there are many.

It seemed impossible to stop it with only the Sura defense battery, which could easily exceed 10,000 days.

And.

“Coming.”

Black lightning was fired from the back of the skeleton group. The moment it hit the battery, the battery’s magic cannon stopped.

“That’s the witch that leads to death…”

An old woman with a twisted smile wearing a black robe.

A hooked nose with slanted eyes.

With her typical witchy face, she raised her wand and the black armor beside her began to move.

And.

“Let’s go!!”

Kang Jin-ho and his colleagues, who were waiting at the research center, began to move.

-The ring.

[Academy cadets, assemble at the main building.]

It was a message from Instructor Yangjun. Shin Haerang, who was standing next to her, nodded her head.

“Go. It looks like they’ll give you a group battle experience. It’s a research job, but I’d like to say a word to you as a senior… Be careful. You don’t know what will happen in battle.”

It was a very serious voice, and I nodded my head because it wasn’t wrong.

When I got out of the lab and arrived at the main building, Instructor Yang Joon and other students were gathered.

“Our mission is to defend the first line of deterrence. Of course, there are defense facilities inside, too. Still, we must be able to fight against enemies entering the first line.”

Everyone seemed nervous, so Yangjun smiled.

“My advice is to remember that you are in a team of three. If possible, do not try to deal with the enemy alone. Do not be surrounded.”

“Yes!”

“Then move.”

As I went outside under the guidance of Yang Jun, I felt the air tremble.

The sound of gunfire coming from beyond the outer wall and the screams of the undead.

Strange sounds made while using skills.

The heat of battle reigned here.

“Coming.”

The door on the outer wall of the laboratory, which had been firmly closed, was shaking. The lab’s defenses, and the dummy and golem.

Despite the heroic efforts, many of them were eventually attacking the laboratory’s door.

“I’ll go first.”

“Eh? The door hasn’t been opened yet?”

“Huh.”

When asked by one of the cadets, he just snorted. And he goes to the door.

-Kuaaa!!

I grabbed the door that was slowly being pushed open. The moment the skeletons and undead seen through the door reached out to grab Yangjun.

“Suck!!”

With a spirited spirit, he pushed the door shut.

“Wow…”

“Look at your strength…”

It was a look that suited the nickname of a superpower. It was because he was pushing back dozens or even hundreds of undead just by pushing the iron door hard.

-Kung!!

The door closed again, and the noise from near the door intensified. When the cadets who saw it let out a sigh of relief.

“Don’t relax!!”

I heard his cry and something was flying from above.

It’s going to be a full-scale battle from now on.

“Guys.”

“Huh?”

“First of all, let’s get the buff and start. Did you hear that? That the three of us should stick together.”

“Huh? Uh. But Burr…”

Blessings of the Holy Spirit. Increases strength and stamina. So, to Yuchoa.

The Diamond Sutra. Raises defense. So, to Cheon Soo-ho.

Twilight Shadow. Increases status ailment resistance. Wait for this just in case.

There are only these three buffs that can be used right now, but they will definitely help.

“…F will help…Yes?”

“It has a cooldown and I have to adjust the duration, so don’t fall out of my sight.”

I can’t give it to you if you’re more than a certain distance away or out of sight.

“…Weren’t you a healer?”

Not a healer.

Not yet.

“I don’t know what it is. Anyway, this should help.”

Because he is a tanker, he must have been able to sense his own changed defense. It’s definitely because he’s a leading actor, so his talent isn’t average.

While Chun Soo-ho, who grinned as he stared at his shield, showed his confidence, Yu-choa slightly opened and closed his fists.

Both of them seem to be able to quickly adapt to the buff. I’m glad.

In the meantime, the number of undead flying through the sky began to increase.

“But what is that?”

“Look outside to see who’s throwing it.”

A giant made of dead bodies.

The corpse giant gathered the undead and threw them.

Among the flying undead, some were destroyed by the impact of the fall, but others were intact.

In addition, the undead were able to continue fighting even if their bodies were damaged to some extent.

“Fight!!”

I shouted when the undead that had flown in mass began to move in earnest.

“Haaa!!”

The cadets moved.

Come on. Then, like a buffer, I’ll watch from behind.

As the battle continued, admiration burst out.

You fight really well.

It’s a freshman, but it’s not a joke because only those with excellent grades come here.

Two of them were especially noteworthy, and one was Cheonsuho.

Using a shield, he shattered the skeletons completely, and the magic bullets fired from the gun he pulled out occasionally swept away the skeletons in front of him like a shotgun.

It feels like watching Doomguy.

“Ahahahahaha!!”

And the other one is our hero Choa Yoo.

She was blowing up all over the place with the magic bullets she created from her hands, and she was no different from the main character in the game I remember from her previous life.

That’s scary.

“Thank you!!”

“Say something.”

Yoo Choa, who had been firing her magic cannon for a while, shouted. The reason was simple. I just gave you a buff.

“Thanks! Thanks again!!”

Cheon Su-ho’s cry as he loaded his double-barrel shotgun and fired magic bullets.

The reason is because of the heel.

Of course, it is a heal that is slightly better than fixing scratches, but with Diamond Sutra’s defense-increasing effect and Cheonsu-ho’s amazing defense skills, only scratches remain on him.

So my heal has no choice but to be effective.

“Aagh!!”

But not everyone fought well.

A fierce battle continues and one side is pushed back.

As soon as Yuchoa saw that the side in charge of the cadet with the sword, the cadet with the spear, and the three cadets who appeared to be wizards were pushed back, Yuchoa threw her magic bullet at them.

-Quaaang!!

The ensuing explosion. Yuchoa smiled as she watched the undead being shattered, and to her surprise, it was quite beautiful.

“Hyejin, step back! You’ve gone too far!”

“Huh? Huh! Okay… Huh?”

A cadet holding a spear whose arm was slightly injured by an undead attack earlier. She gave her heels to a cadet named Hyejin, who was probably Choa Yoo’s friend.

Still, it seems a little better than before, perhaps thanks to the holy relics I received from the cathedral and the rosary of Subhuti.

Yes. Very little. But even that little bit will be enough to lessen the pain and hurt.

“Uh… That, go, thank you.”

Cadet Hyejin, who was looking at me with her eyes wide open, panicked and said hesitantly, and I shook her hand.

Fight for time to say thanks.

“With something like this.”

And everyone was busy fighting, but I was the only one playing in the back, so I got stabbed.

This is enough for a meal…

-Quaaang!!

At the time when the undead who entered the interior were being cleaned up, something black fell from the sky.

They were the elite who were escorting the witch that led to death earlier.

“…Living armor.”

Living armor.

A powerful undead that neither gets tired nor gets hurt by infusing the power of the dead inside.

A monster that is classified as Class D according to Association regulations has invaded.

The final battle of the first event of Chapter 1 begins…

“Die!!”

“He’s already dead, why kill him again?!”

– Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Yoo Choa’s continuous magic cannon, and Cheonsuho’s shotgun’s magic bullets and shield push.

In the offensive of the two who received plenty of buffs.

“…….”

It didn’t last long before he collapsed.

The final battle of the first event of Chapter 1 is over.

Of course, it is polite to skip the appearance scene.

And it’s not that difficult in the game, so I wasn’t very nervous, but I didn’t know it would be so easy.

As expected, buffs are good.

I took out a piece of Choco Pie from my pocket while watching the battlefield, which was slowly going into a lull.

It’s easy to say that good is good, so there’s nothing bad about it.

“Hey~ John. I heard you’re hiding your powers, so this is it? You’re really amazing?”

“You who terribly fired magic bullets and destroyed the Living Armor and the surroundings just now are amazing, aren’t you?”

“Ehehehe. What?”

“Now, eat this.”

“Wow! Choco Pie!”

The battles in other places were also slowly fading away.

That means that this battle has been won.

Ugh. Thank god. No problem.

“By the way, this is great. Hey. Kim Yohan. Do you have any plans to transfer to our class? Let’s fix it. Fix it.”

“That’s nice~! But is it possible to transfer?”

Isn’t the buff taste sweet?

Well, it’s not bad to have a crush on you, because later on, there are cases where you cross over and form the same party…

“What do you think?”

Yes. Anyway, you have to keep accumulating points to ride the true ending route.

Originally, I almost gave up on this place because I can’t come here because of my grades, but if the opportunity presents itself, I’ll take it.

I don’t think it’s impossible for them to do this after receiving my buff…

“The transfer is over. Can you guys help me later?”

Let’s try to score points for the true ending route.
