I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

22 – Changing Perspective – 3

****

“What, what?!”

“They said the villains attacked them.”

I heard a story in the middle of the mission.

The story that the villains attacked the association’s research center where Kim Yo-han is currently located.

It’s not uncommon to fight villains during mission practice. However, what bothered me was that the attack was a witch leading to the death of a class A villain, and it was a story that B and C classes could be added in the second attack.

“I blocked the first attack of the witch that leads to death, but the second attack seems a little dangerous. There are some children who are missing, so I decided to apply at the academy.”

Listening to what the same teammate was chewing on her jerky said, Elizabeth unknowingly bit her thumb nail.

I’m nervous.

She, of course, does not want her classmates to get hurt, but it was John who held a greater weight in her heart.

She was the first person I met at Gwaneumsa Temple and never gave up.

She was persecuted by many, but she never bowed her head.

And, now, it would be no exaggeration to call him a friend with himself.

I couldn’t help but feel my heart beating when I heard that such a danger was unfolding where he was.

“Well, there’s Instructor Yangjun, and there are dummy, golem, and defense facilities in the lab, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Don’t worry too much. Let’s do what we have to do first.”

When she got up slowly, she saw monsters running in the distance.

They were monsters that popped up from a dungeon that had occurred around here a while ago.

Since 1999, monsters have been appearing all over the world.

Especially dungeons.

It is randomly generated, and when created, monsters quickly come out and attack people.

So when a dungeon appeared, the priority was to send a hero from the association to deal with it.

The freshmen couldn’t enter the dungeon. What they do is wipe out the monsters that have already escaped from the dungeon.

Look. Aren’t there monsters coming from there right now?

Nokakgu (綠惡狗), a six-legged monster with green fur and a dog-like appearance.

Even though they are level E monsters, they are numerous and brutal. If left as is, they will spread around and endanger many people.

Elizabeth drew in her breath slowly and gripped her sword.

“Let’s go.”

Yes. What I have to do now is to save people as a noble.

Recalling the family motto of the Taylor family, Elizabeth put more power into her hand that held her sword.

However, compared to when he was with John, his strength was weak.

Is it because there are no buffs?

Otherwise…

With her short tongue, she bit her lip and ran out.

The mission was a success. I was able to kill all the monsters coming out of the dungeon until the heroes of the association who entered the dungeon collapsed the dungeon.

However, the anxiety was not relieved in the slightest.

‘I couldn’t even apologize properly yet, but he was seriously injured or died… Alas. No. No. It can’t be. His buff is also buffed, but aren’t all the cadets who went there with top grades? So…’

Elizabeth felt cold sweat trickling down her spine, and she quickly denied the thought that had crossed her mind.

“Hey. It’s over. Shall we have an after party?”

“I’m tired. Let’s have an after party later…”

Well, after fighting for a long time, there is no way I’m not tired.

Fortunately for Elizabeth, her after party was naturally canceled and her students scattered as soon as she arrived at her academy.

It was true that Elizabeth also had heavy limbs.

Because she fought the hardest in the front.

If it hadn’t been for her, there would have been some cadets who would have been badly injured.

If you ask who the MVP is in this mission, she is of course Elizabeth. She performed well enough to be able to say that, and ran with all her might without showing any sign of delight.

“John. Isn’t he better than I thought?”

“Sheesh. It must be because I met my teammates well.”

“No matter how much he said he didn’t back down when fighting the villain… Also, he said he didn’t back down at all and shot the bow well while giving healing? These days, he couldn’t heal, so he seems to be using a bow, but I saw quite a few.”

“And Suho said that his buffs weren’t a joke?”

“Buff? That crap skill? How good is it? Shall we have a party later…?”

I heard a story while running. Evaluation of John. It is not once or twice that I have been angry at the harsh evaluations of those who do not know much about him.

People who call themselves heroes gossip. I’d rather come up front and say it proudly.

However, the current story was a bit different.

The cadets were responding favorably to John.

Of course, it’s not completely changed.

‘It’s recognized…’

It is natural. And it will change more and more.

It’s not just John’s special buff. Its positive and relaxed personality, and even the point of being able to quickly judge the war situation.

And the way you always work hard without giving up is enough to impress everyone.

So the evaluation of him will change.

“… Huh?”

In that moment, I felt a sharp pain in a corner of my chest.

It disappeared so quickly, but you can definitely feel it.

There was such pain.

I stopped and thought about it for a while, but I couldn’t come up with an answer to what this pain was.

‘No. Now is the time to care about that…’

“Hey! Do you know where John is?!”

“Huh? John? Were you on your way to the archery range?”

“Thank you!”

Once we quickly reached the archery training ground, Yohan was shooting an arrow. He must have been tired from fighting the villain yesterday, but he was training like this.

He really is a man who doesn’t know how to give up.

As her anxiety, which had been greatly swollen with her tension and worry, subsided, Elizabeth approached John.

Fortunately, John didn’t appear to be seriously injured. From what I hear, it seems that Yoo Cho-ah and Cheon Soo-ho, who were at the same party, were quite tired.

He was more relieved when he heard that he only gave buffs from behind.

That’s why I suggested it. As an apology from the other day, let’s have dinner together tonight.

Should I accept it?

What if I refuse again?

However, John obediently responded, and Elizabeth couldn’t help but be happy with his reaction.

Anyway, it’s because it can relieve the feeling of debt that lingers inside her.

That’s why I took him to the restaurant.

Elizabeth took her breath away after ordering a high-end dish that could cost hundreds of thousands of won per meal.

Expensive and good food is good, but serving it and apologizing is not the job of nobles.

It is not the Taylor family’s will to solve everything with money.

So. You have to apologize properly.

“I was so sorry before.”

She bowed her head with sincerity.

What if I don’t accept it?

She said she didn’t know herself, but she touched her wounds that might remain on him.

Her lips dry up when she thinks of how big the wounds are.

“Ah. Is there something like that between us? It’s okay. It’s okay.”

Ah.

At those light words, the uneasiness that had been oppressing his heart disappeared in an instant.

What other people would ask for, thinking he had caught the Taylors’ weakness, he just smiled and said instead.

Between us.

Between us…

“You’re my friend.”

“A friend… A friend.”

Since her childhood, because of her training, studies, and her aristocratic education, it was a very good word for her, who had no one to call her friend except for her Jin Shi-yeon.

“That’s nice. Whooping. Friend… Friend.”

I was satisfied.

A thrill.

In a corner of my heart, again. I felt a brief pain that disappeared in an instant.

****

The food was delicious. When will I ever have a meal like this again in my life?

I had never eaten such expensive food in my previous life as well as in my current life.

“It’s good to eat.”

“Because what you eat is what’s left over.”

There was a reason why high-end cuisine was high-end.

I could feel that the wounds left from yesterday’s battle were recovering more quickly, as if this had a special effect like the expensive coffee sold in the academy cafeteria.

There…

[Stamina has increased by 0.01.]

Meal event!

The stat increase is sweet!

“After. I am full. I ate well.”

“Well done. Now, shall we go out now?”

The sun was setting and the city lights were bright.

As an academy cadet, it’s not impossible to go outside at night, but it’s better to stay calm at this time.

As I watched Elizabeth go to the counter to pay her bill and her manager approach, I opened the status window.

[Name: Yohan Kim]

[Rank: F]

[Ability: Healing]

[Strength: 1.27]

[HP: 1.63]

[Agility: 1.4]

[Dexterity: 1.3]

[Possessed Skills]

Heel

The Diamond Sutra

Blessings of the Holy Spirit

Twilight Shadow

When I opened the stat window for the first time in a long time, it was noticeable that my stats had steadily increased.

What’s more noticeable is the holy power that doesn’t rise even in the midst of this.

No, no matter how much I trained with buffs, I used a lot of heels, but if this is enough, isn’t it enough to increase my holy power?

Whew. Yes. Buffer should be buffed. Because heels are secondary.

Anyway, stats aside, ranks… Will rise one notch sooner or later.

Good. There are also buffs that can be obtained as the rank goes up, so let’s keep busy in the future.

“John!! Come on!”

“Okay. I’ll go.”

When I got back into the car with Elizabeth and returned to the academy, the academy’s streetlights were lighting up the surroundings.

The trees swaying in the spring breeze, and the street at the main gate of the academy, illuminated by the street lamps, looked quite beautiful.

“Whoop whoop…”

Laughter was heard from Elizabeth as she walked lightly with her hands behind her back.

“What’s so good about it?”

“There is such a thing! Ohohohoho!!”

Anyway, I’m glad you like it. Because it seems that the gloomy image from the previous incident has also disappeared.

A good thing is a good thing.
