I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

25 – Who will win – 2

-Quaaang!!

The operation of deliberately creating noise and attracting the Big Lizards around was not bad.

“Bounce!”

“Kyaaah!”

“I drove too much!”

The perfect plan collapsed until the Big Lizards came in droves, and we quickly ran through the forest.

“Haaa!!”

A group of Big Lizards stuck Yuchoa’s magic cannon with all her strength. The Big Lizards that were thrown here and there with the explosion fall down, and Max cuts down one of the Big Lizards that was aiming for me with a long sword.

And I, too, aim for a moment of pause and take a shot!

A big lizard with an arrow stuck in its mouth starts to hesitate.

“Going buff!!”

Quickly, she bestowed the blessing of her Holy Spirit on Choa Yoo and placed the Diamond Sutra on Max. Max, who had to take dozens of simultaneous attacks, did not suffer much damage, perhaps thanks to the Diamond Sutra’s increased defense, but he was still starting to get bruises and scratches here and there.

To think that Max, who should have been treated in my place, was hurt like that!

You mustn’t fall!!

“…Is this a heel?!”

This bastard?!

“Max! Get out of the way!”

Max, who had stepped forward and covered himself with his body, fell as if rolling backwards. At the same time, Yuchoa, who was gathering strength, fired the magic cannon held in her hands.

-Kwaaang! Kwaaang! Kwaaang! Kwaaang! aaang!!

The five bombardments used against the Sword Demon. When the big lizards that were united were smashed by the bombardment, Yoo Choa finally sat down on the floor.

“Oh, I’m going to die…”

“But he won’t die. Max. Help me.”

I took out my combat knife and cut off the dead Big Lizard’s tail. If you bring these, you will be able to check how much you caught.

“How many did we catch?”

“Let’s see. 41 Big lizards and 2 dragon flies.”

“Isn’t it just catching big lizards?”

“Looks like this area only has Big Lizards.”

Should I slip into the other side soon? The test of Cheonrichujonghyang was the number of monsters, but there were also those that had to catch strong monsters.

That’s why I want you to get at least D-class.

“It’s nice to go, but I’m having a hard time…”

Our dealer was sitting there looking exhausted, and I threw the Choco Pie I had brought with me.

“When did you get this again?”

“Sugar is usually the best when you’re doing hard work. Hey, Max. You eat too. Let’s eat, take a break, and move on.”

“It is.”

There’s still time. Let’s spend some heels now. I healed Yuchoa and Max and sat down on a nearby rock.

“By the way, what are the D-class monsters here?”

“I heard in class that the D-class over here is… A monster… A black king… And a Lamia tidyer?”

“A monster?”

“Yes. It’s also called the ghost neck…”

As Choa Yoo said, I had heard about it before in class. About the monsters to watch out for in the cedar forest of Baengnyeong Island. The southeastern part of Baengnyeong Island has been said to be dangerous from before because of the thick negative energy, but it is said that a strange monster appeared because of the negative energy.

“Ughhh… Max. They say monsters move. As if they were alive…”

“But aren’t trees originally living?”

Yuchoa, who smiled mischievously and pretended to be scary, tilted her head.

“Is that so?”

Hey.

“The problem is that the tree emits strange pollen to dazzle opponents. It won’t be easy to deal with unless you have a tranquilizer.”

I also heard it in Instructor Kim Yeon-ha’s class. It is said that a monster often seen in the cypress forest of Baengnyeong Island confuses allies, making them unable to fight or attacking them.

That’s why it was recommended to take a sedative before fighting the monster and fight only for the duration of the effect.

It was the same in games.

“Huh. I have mental tranquilizers.”

“Huh?”

“It’s just for one person.”

“…Do you want to go and fight alone? Hey. I carry several of those.”

I shook my head while Yoo Choa bruised Max, who was smug and took out an ampoule.

You can have just one.

“It’s okay because I can increase my ability to resist status ailments with the shadow of dusk.”

“Huh? Then…”

“The problem is me…”

Kim Yeon-ha said that she had to take a mental stabilizer when catching the monster.

There was something she didn’t say.

The higher the Spirit stat, the higher the resistance to such abnormal conditions.

Obviously, the monster’s abnormal status resistance in the game was 2.8.

If it’s my mental strength right now, I can endure it.

“Well. I’ll be fine.”

“Hey. If you get confused and buff the monster, we all die…”

“Don’t worry. That won’t confuse you. Come on. Then let’s go.”

As we moved a bit southeast of where we were, we saw traces of people.

It seems that there are cadets taking other exams who are aiming for monsters.

Couldn’t it be that all of the individual monsters have been caught?

If you go deeper, there will be a lot of monsters, so it will be a headache to deal with.

“It’s over there.”

The monster turns the surrounding area into a desert. Considering the characteristics of a root tree that gathers nutrients from the ground and uses it as its own food, the location of the root tree could be easily identified when the soil became desert.

Where there had been quite a bit of grass and trees until recently, dry land was starting to appear.

I see dried and twisted plants around.

“Slightly nervous…”

“Damage!!”

At Max’s cry, I jumped right to the side. The shuriken stuck in the place where I was.

But suddenly a ninja appeared!

“…Ah.”

It was a guy wearing an academy cadet uniform. A tortoise also wears a ninja mask on his face.

The other two lay nearby, apparently passed out.

“You seem confused. How do I do this?”

“Let’s say hello first.”

“Hello!!”

Don’t say hello, son.

I immediately gave the blessing of the Holy Spirit and the Diamond Sutra to Max, who jumped out with a long sword, and he grinned and quickly swung his sword as if he felt strengthened.

The ninja, who blocked his sword attack and pierced Max’s side with the dagger in his other hand, tilted his head with a dazed face.

It deserved it. The dagger couldn’t pierce his stomach.

“Hryaaap!!”

Max’s sword is filled with light. It seems that he is using his skill to catch it as quickly as possible.

A sword skill possessed only by those with sword aptitude. The dagger bounced off the wide swung sword, and the sword hilt hit the ninja cadet in the head.

-Paaa!!

Looks like a critical hit. As the one who fainted in one shot collapsed, Yu Choa approached the two who had already passed out.

“It seems that the three of them fought and fought, and only he was left.”

“That’s right. He seems to have lost quite a bit of strength. I didn’t expect him to pass out with one blow from the hilt.”

“How do I wake you up?”

“Let’s just keep it here quietly.”

I gathered the three who fainted and used the flare. How long has it been? I saw two of the seniors I saw earlier approaching this place.

“Did you guys fire the flares?”

“Yes. They are retired.”

“I can tell without seeing it. They must have been caught while trying to catch the monster.”

“I guess so.”

“It is important to know one’s capabilities… Yes. Thank you. The effort has been reduced.”

“But what should I do if I pass out and retire like this? There may be children who die or get injured.”

“That part can’t be helped. That’s what being a hero is like. Also, this place isn’t that dangerous. If you insist, the monsters are more dangerous, but monsters don’t eat their prey right away once they catch it.”

It waits until it dies of starvation on its own, and when it dies, it uses it as food. The other senior, who gave an additional explanation, shrugged his shoulders.

“Of course it will take some time to recover.”

“Aha.”

“By the way… Are you guys here to catch the monster too?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Cheer up. If you catch the rook, you will almost certainly pass the exam. You know there is not much time left, right?”

One of the seniors who took care of the fainted three looked at me. Then he smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

“I didn’t expect you to survive this well. Cheer up.”

A friendly attitude is friendly. I smiled at his cheering and saw Yoo Choa and Max as they left.

“Looks like you’ve rested as much as you can. Shall we go soon?”

When I went deep into the forest, I saw a tree with scars here and there. It seems like they couldn’t catch them earlier.

“How lucky you are! Max! Use the ampoule!”

The branches of the tree that has not yet recovered from its wounds are moving. Max, who cut off a sharp blade-like branch with his sword, put his sword into his sword, perhaps trying to go strong from the beginning.

“Come!!”

A fruit hanging from one of the branches of the monster tree burst. It was a sight I saw in the game. Seeds of confusion. However, Max had already used a tranquilizer and Yoo Choa was under the shadow of twilight.

And I…

“Nothing!”

It was fine. Then all that remains is attack and attack again.

Since the most dangerous seed of chaos has been blocked, the only danger remaining is the attack of the eggplant.

Max successfully blocked the attack from all directions. Of course, not all of them are blocked.

Still, Max was able to fully perform his role as a tanker, probably because I also added heels to Diamond Sutra from time to time.

And the same goes for Yoo Choa. At all, he sticks to Max’s side and fires the short-range shells he used on Sword Demon before.

Of course, I wasn’t just playing around.

Every time a Seed of Confusion was prepared, I shot and hit the fruit with an arrow.

-Kuuung…!!

The monster’s body began to crack from the continued attacks and attacks, and soon after, the huge body collapsed.

Caught.

“Ugh. It was hard.”

“Is this the proof of killing the monster?”

There was a small bloody twig inside the fallen tree nest. Max broke it off and threw it at me, and I put it in my bag.

“What time?”

“It’s almost done. Let’s go now.”

Come on. So who is number 1?

When I returned to the gate, it was almost time for the exam to end. There is no one who didn’t come. Elizabeth’s party doesn’t seem to be a problem either.

“Now, I’ll tell you who were eliminated. Group B, Group E, Group F, Group I, Group L, and Group K are eliminated. There’s a retest tomorrow, so if you’re going to try it, tell me.”

“Ugh…”

It’s a voice of disappointment.

Anyway, I passed.

“And the rankings. The third place is Group M. You caught 30 big lizards.”

“Wow… You caught 30 big lizards and you’re third?”

“Awesome.”

I clenched my fists slightly as I heard exclamations from around me. Got in the top 2

“And second place…”

I glanced towards Elizabeth. When her eyes met mine and she smiled, the senior who was looking at the documents on her podium said.

“Group D. Twenty big lizards and fifteen worms caught Lamia.”

Huh. Did you think you would win?

When the flustered Elizabeth looked at her, I gave her one eye.

“And the first place is Group A. 41 Big lizards. 2 Dragon flies. And you caught the monster tree. In addition, you saved the cadets who were attacked by the monster tree.”

“Oh~.”

“Are you doing something?”

“Isn’t that the group that includes Kim Yo-han?

“Come on. Group A, come up.”

As me, Choa Yoo, and Max went upstairs, the senior smiled and held out the prepared box.

“As promised, this is the reward given to the first place.”

“What is it? What is it?”

Yoo Choa’s expression became subtle when she opened the box with joy.

And the same goes for Max.

“This…”

“It’s a skill book! It’s a buff that strengthens physical strength, ‘Thousands of Miles’!”

“…Eh…”

“Buffs…”

The atmosphere around me has subsided.

“Ah. In addition to that, I’ll give you a skill book for the commonly used attack skill, ‘Light Source Artillery’, and a defense skill, ‘Iron Armor’. In addition, I’ll give you a choice of 3rd grade equipment from the Association!”

“Wow!!”

In an instant, the atmosphere came to mind.

Gwangwonpo. A skill that gathers mana and unleashes a powerful blow.

Iron wall armor. A defensive skill that blocks attacks from the front by creating a shield based on physical strength and strength.

Both of them were skills used even among active heroes.

Not to mention the choice of Tier 3 equipment.

All good rewards, but…

Thousands of miles.

A buff that strengthens your physical strength, literally meaning you can run at a distance of a thousand miles.

Yes.

The reward that everyone was disappointed with was the best reward for me.
