I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

chapter 2



2 – Introduction to the buffer starting with expulsion – 2

Kwon Hye-ryu’s story was long, but the point was that he had to go out by tomorrow, and he had no particular complaints.

Even if there is, what am I going to do now?

Yes.

For now.

Sitting on the bed, I closed my eyes. Current memories, and past life memories.

If you put them all together, a path will emerge.

It’s dangerous to live in this harsh world as a rogue, so shouldn’t we use our own means?

It’s not my taste to just stand still and shout ‘do it’ to others.

In that case, the wisest choice would be to just give up on growing as a healer that suits my current aptitude, ‘healing’, and walk the path of a buffer.

Because there is no point in training a heal that is based on holy power when mental strength is given as a bonus.

“But even that is not easy…”

It’s not like there’s a hero I know, so I can learn skills.

I know where the artifacts, dungeons, and ruins that give buffs are, but I can’t go there right now because if I go to get them now, I’ll get hit right away.

But paying money to buy a skill book…

“…Mmm.”

When I opened my wallet, there were only three 10,000 won bills.

No matter how cold the buffs are, even if the buff skill book is cheap, there is no choice.

According to my new memory, I could have met Azazel while riding the true ending route.

Besides that, she was able to get quite a few skills, equipment, and rewards from the academy… Until then, let’s live quietly attached to the academy.

Of course it won’t be easy.

It wasn’t easy to take the true ending route.

You have to meet the main character and adjust the direction appropriately to get on the true ending route…

The academic schedule is also a schedule, and looking at this notification, it’s obvious that the student council will not be happy with me.

Tsk. I have a lot to do.

I looked in the mirror next to the desk.

A black-haired thin boy with a blunt look was reflected in the mirror with a smirk.

Yes.

What can I do?

Something that has already happened.

You should enjoy it.

As soon as the next morning came, I packed my things and went out.

I didn’t have much luggage.

A few pictures with an orphanage in the background, a few notebooks. Three cadet uniforms.

That was the only personal item I had at the moment.

It was not that difficult to move around even after entering one of the carriers provided by the academy.

“Are you Yohan Kim?”

Using the map stored in the terminal given when entering the academy, when I arrived at the dormitory, a middle-aged supervisor with an ordinary impression was waiting for me.

“Go to Room 201.”

“Yes.”

I received the key and looked at the guard.

Hogwan’s evaluation could be expressed in one word.

‘Old.’

The Seonggwan I stayed in yesterday was the most up-to-date and top-notch building, but the Hogwan was literally run-down.

There are many cracks here and there, and there are countless parts where the paint has peeled off.

But that doesn’t mean people can’t live there.

Me too, me in my previous life.

I’ve lived well in places worse than here.

I went inside, stepped on the creaky wooden stairs, went up to the second floor, and opened the door to Room 201…

“Yes! It’s worth living!”

There is a bed, a desk, and a small shower and toilet, but they are in the room!

This is a 5-star hotel!

“If you have any questions, feel free to come and ask.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Aside from that, the headmaster left after explaining a few things. I have now thrown my luggage into the room where I am supposed to stay.

There is no time to rest here. You have to move right away

I took the terminal provided by the academy and immediately accessed the bulletin board I had been looking at yesterday.

[Recruiting students to experience 3,000 boats, unite with unwillingness – Gwaneumsa]

[Welcome to recruiting members of Travel Circle ‘Rampant’]

[I’m clinging to you right now – Judo Club Eurachacha]

[The first of the two things that piss people off is to stop showing artifacts – Hallabong, a relic research group]

[Recruitment of volunteers in preparation for Lent – Academy Central Cathedral]

[Bridal mask! Gaksital appeared! – Mask dance research group]

.

.

.

There were quite a lot of advertisements on the academy bulletin board, and among them, I paid attention to religious events.

It was a 3,000-fold experience at Gwaneumsa Temple.

The day Buddha came.

Based on this standard, if you are recognized by the head monk during the 3,000 boat experience that runs until May 4, you can learn the ‘Geumgang Sutra’ skill, a defense boost buff that is one of the buffer’s rice line buffs.

The number of applicants for these types of events increases when the semester starts, so let’s try it today.

It’s still before the semester begins, but is there anyone else besides me who wants to get a buff skill that’s treated like garbage?

.

.

.

“Heh heh. The semester hasn’t even started yet, so I didn’t expect two new students to apply.”

An old monk with impressive white eyebrows and a white beard, and the head monk of Gwaneumsa Temple, Beopjeong Monk, said with a hearty smile.

To be honest, I was a little relieved.

As Kwon Hye-ryu said, buffs don’t get very good reviews, so everyone doesn’t learn anything other than fairly useful buffs.

Isn’t that obvious?

There is a limit to the skills that one person can learn, and even if you learn them, they are useless unless you increase your proficiency.

I’m busy training effective skills right now to increase my proficiency, but who would bother to find and learn a skill that just increases defense?

So I thought I was the only one who would go and do this 3,000-fold experience before the semester even started.

But I never thought there would be.

“The skill provided through the experience of 3,000 times is the Diamond Sutra. It is a skill that increases the defense of oneself or others.”

Come on. Now you know

If you don’t want to learn, leave.

I glanced sideways.

A beautiful woman with dark blonde hair that looks like melted gold, beautiful blue eyes, and a kind and generous chest that can be recognized by the wide water suit, as well as a nice pelvis that matches it.

‘Elizabeth Taylor’, her lead-level fellow character in Hero Academia, smiled confidently and nodded her head.

“You know! My mother is a Buddhist, so the experience is also meaningful!”

“I see. Then let’s start right away. They say it’s called the 3,000 boat experience, but it doesn’t mean you start with 3,000 boats right away. Let’s start at noon after achieving the number of beautiful views through meditation.”

“Okay. Your companion? Let’s go! This is also a fate, so let’s do well together!”

“Ah. Yes. Yes.”

“By the way, aren’t you the same freshman? This is also a relationship, so let’s say hello!! I’m Elizabeth Taylor! Oh, it’s okay to talk casually!”

“Kim Yo-han. Then why don’t you feel comfortable there too?”

“Oh. I’m comfortable with honorific words!! These are the qualities of an aristocrat!! Hohohohoho!!”

Elizabeth Taylor came from an aristocratic family in England.

As such, she used to be quite obsessed with aristocratic things…If that’s comfortable, let her just do it.

“Excellent.”

“It’s called noblesse oblige!”

Is that the right word to use here?

“Here it is. hahahaha. Please refrain from talking during meditation.”

A cushion for two people was placed in the zazen area when they arrived before they knew it.

“The training to empty your mind and reach the state of no thought is called Zen meditation. I hope that you will gain something through this training. Namu Amitabha Buddha…”

“When do you do 3,000 boats?!”

“We will start after lunch after meditation. Namu Amitabha Buddha…”

The court monk stepped back, and I immediately sat cross-legged.

Elizabeth, whose mother is a Buddhist, was also adept at sitting cross-legged.

The sound of a wooden voice and a blasphemous sound came soon after.

I’ve done this kind of training a lot, so it wasn’t particularly difficult.

[Spirit has increased by 0.01.]

It’s even better if you give them a reward as well.

“…Ugh.”

Of course, it was easy for me, but I didn’t think it was easy for Elizabeth.

Honestly, he is very active and has high tension, so it would not be easy to train like this in a static way.

“Namu Amitabha…”

The monk at the court muttered softly, as if he had noticed Elizabeth’s inability to concentrate, and she regained her senses and straightened her body.

But she fidgeted again.

“Namu Amitabha…”

“……”

Again fidgeting.

Looking at it, I think I’ll get the skill for some reason.

Spirit has risen by 0.02 Through meditation practice conducted until noon.

There was nothing to like.

Now it’s the beginning, so it’s easy to climb, but later on, it will be difficult to raise 0.01 Even if you do this meditation for several days.

“Ugh… It was hard.”

With her sullen face, Elizabeth pouted her lips.

“By the way, Yohan Kim. Are you doing well? Are you a Buddhist too? Are you trying to obtain the Diamond Sutra because of your religious beliefs?”

“It’s not really like that. I’m just used to this kind of practice.”

“Oh! Jung Jung-dong!”

Do you know what Jungjungdong is and say that?

Shouting lively, she walked humming her hum, as if she had completely forgotten what the monk at her court had pointed out to her earlier.

“Let’s take a short break after the lunch meal, and then start the 3,000 boats.”

What was served at the restaurant was Sanchae Bibimbap.

“…Oh, oh.”

As she looked at the rice bowl made of grass and grass and grass in silence, she was startled at my gaze and smiled awkwardly.

“Ahahahahaha. Jeolbap. I know it well!! My mother ate a lot! Come on! Then let’s enjoy it!”

I enjoy eating, but I don’t know if you can enjoy it. The Elizabeth I knew was someone who couldn’t eat without a side dish of meat.

It’s not some kind of King Sejong the Great.

Anyway, after the lunch that Elizabeth had been scratching as if she was counting her grains of rice, we took a break and headed to Daeungjeon.

From now on, it’s real.

“Have both of you tried 3,000 boats?”

“No.”

“I haven’t tried it!”

“Then let me demonstrate.”

I looked closely at the bowing posture that Monk Beopjeong showed.

In Hero Academia, I just passed through texts, but now I have to do it with my own body, so it won’t be that easy.

You should take a good look.

“Then let’s begin.”

The blasphemies and voices began again.

I started bowing while looking at the Buddha statue in the center of Daeungjeon Hall, and Elizabeth next to me also started bowing with a triumphant face.

[Strength has increased by 0.01.]

[Spirit has increased by 0.01.]

Being a temple consumes considerable physical and mental energy. So, just doing 3,000 times his stats went up.

Of course, the burden of stamina consumption is great, but what can I do?

It is a jewel that needs to be polished and polished.

My stats rose when I did about 500 times, and after that it was a time of hardship and adversity.

Sweat is pouring down like rain and my arms and legs are shaking. Back and back hurt.

But I couldn’t give up.

[Spirit has increased by 0.01.]

If you can’t stand this much, how will you survive the tough true ending route?

It’s a bad feeling when the dripping sweat sticks to your body, but that’s okay.

Still.

I didn’t want to give up.

Everything except the true ending has no dreams or hopes, so I have to take the true ending route somehow.

.

.

.

“Thanks for your hard work. You both worked hard.”

3,000 Boats are over.

It wasn’t easy, but I managed to do it somehow.

My whole body is wet with sweat and my body is shaking. Even in the game, if I did this event once in the beginning, my stamina would drop, but it was definitely worth it.

“Whoa…”

I saw Elizabeth let out a sigh. She’s also sweaty, but unlike me, she looks quite relaxed.

“Kim Yohan. Are you okay?”

Worry and worry are contained in those clear eyes.

This is the reaction of a woman trying to keep her aristocratic dignity.

“This is nothing.”

Yes.

This is nothing.

After finishing 3,000 boats, I barely washed up and came out.

When I first entered the office where I registered for the 3,000 boat experience, a clerk was waiting for me.

“Thank you for your hard work. Here is a souvenir of my participation in the 3,000 fold training.”

A Diamond Sutra skill book was given to the best participant in the 3,000 boat experience, and commemorative prizes were given to the rest.

Elizabeth was waiting for her when she came out with the box the clerk gave her.

As if she had already received the box, she was holding the same box as mine and handed it to me with a smile.

“As expected, the Diamond Sutra is Yohan Kim! You’d better have it!”

Huh?

You just concede this?

“It’s not such a necessary skill for me, but it seems to be quite desperate for you! Then, isn’t it a noble virtue to yield to you?! Oh ho ho ho ho ho!!”

Wow. Dog is cool

“But I’d like to see who’s better! Let’s open it!! Of course I would have been better!!”

“Ah. Yes.”

Squatting down in front of the mountain gate, Elizabeth and I opened the box.

And.

“…..”

What was in my box was the Diamond Sutra skill book.

What was in Elizabeth’s box was a commemorative rosary that had no particular effect.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

“Wow! I really wanted this rosary! Thank you so much! I will cherish it!!”

“Everything, of course it should!! Ohohohoho!!”

“hahahaha!!”

I quickly put the beads on her wrist, and Elizabeth’s face was redder than the red sunset that painted the sky in early spring.

Awkward, awkward, embarrassed.

To get rid of the strange atmosphere, I tried to speak calmly.

“…Uh, do you want to go out for dinner? I’ve received something precious like this, so I’ll live for it.”

Nod.

She shook her head slightly.

With her face still red.
