I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

251 – Epilogue

Even if I survived the apocalypse and got married, my life didn’t change that much.

There were still many monsters in the world, and dungeons were being created.

There was so much to do as an S-class hero.

“By the way, dungeons and monsters have nothing to do with the apocalypse?”

Cheon Soo-ho said as he finished clearing the dungeon and retrieving the energy core. Serenia, who was filling the empty magazine with bullets toward him, lightly made the sign of the cross.

“All of this is the Lord’s will.”

“I think that meaning is a bit harsh.”

“What?! How dare you insult the will of the Lord! You blasphemous man!!”

“Why are you like this? I’m a guy who went to church during Christmas.”

“Welcome, brother. The Lord always welcomes the Lamb.”

While listening to their useless chatter, I put the ingredients on the floor into my bag.

It’s natural to take care of things once the battle is over.

“I think something will change once all the black dungeons are taken care of.”

Just like the last black dungeon, most black dungeons had demons that were influencing the world.

So, if all the black dungeons were destroyed, wouldn’t the noisy things happening in the world be reduced?

In Hero Academia, you defeat the apocalypse and reach the ending after winter break.

The normal ending is that we must now prepare to face the end. An ending filled with anxiety.

And in the true ending, no one knows what is left before us. But we all knew that it was hope. It was a hopeful ending.

But this world is not a game world.

Even though the apocalypse was defeated, nothing particularly changed.

It was a world where dungeons, including the black dungeon, still existed and monsters appeared constantly.

Therefore, the ending phrase did not appear, and we were still living each day hoping for hope.

“The S-class b*stards will have to work hard.”

The only S-class people here are me, Elizabeth, and Jin Si-yeon. Isn’t that too much?

You too, become S-class quickly.

“Anyway, Choa. When are you going to get a promotion? Isn’t it about time you did it?”

It was just as Cheon Soo-ho said. Yoo Cho-ah also has the skills to be promoted to S-class. However, it is unfortunate that it is still grade A.

“Hmm. Well, let’s take it slow. There’s no need to rush, right?”

It was a carefree voice, but it wasn’t wrong. Because we have overcome a dangerous apocalypse.

“And if you don’t think it’s going to work out, you can just stick close to my husband. It’s okay for S-class people who have some skills, but I’m A-class so I need a buffer.”

…Was he not doing it on purpose?

This is what I felt while walking together after our honeymoon, and Yoo Cho-ah was very affectionate.

It’s cute that he always treats me comfortably like a friend and clings to me subtly.

I saw the ring on her finger. Green diamond ring. I felt like I knew how much she loved me when I saw the ring that she hadn’t taken off no matter what since I gave it to her last time.

Of course, I am not leaving it out either.

When Yoo Cho-ah, who was holding her arms around me, spoke with a smile, Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon, who were helping with the cleanup, burst into tears and shouted at her.

“Stop talking strangely and quickly help me!!”

“Okay. I can see your hands? A-level subject.”

“Suho. You say you can see your hands?”

“You! You! I can see your hands!

Yoo Cho-ah laughed at Jin Si-yeon’s shout and started organizing the ingredients. It must be a truly heartwarming sight.

“I think it’s done. Did you come up with anything good?”

The dungeon we conquered this time was the white dungeon. This is a place where you can get quite a lot of things except black.

And since the one he caught was a high-ranking undead called High Lich, Cheon Su-ho probably had more expectations as he approached with sparkling eyes.

“It’s dog hair. The equipment didn’t come out.”

All I got was the High Lich’s skull and other materials. Of course, all the materials found, including the skull, are good materials that can be sold at a high price, but it is a disappointing result compared to what was obtained after clearing the white dungeon.

“Well… I can’t help it.”

“Yes. I can’t help it.”

What can we say about something that hasn’t come out? As I watched Cheon Soo-ho and Serenia leave the dungeon, I saw the three behind them. Everyone was talking with serious expressions.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”

“Umm. Johan. Come here.”

“why?”

As I approached, I saw that Elizabeth was holding some ingredients in her hands. The recipe you can make using that is…

“…It’s an ingredient for a stamina increase potion, right?”

“Uhuhuhuhu…”

“Hohohohoho!!”

“…Heh.”

These succubi?! Are you trying to pull it out again after pulling it out like that yesterday?!

I shook my head under the gaze of the three beauties smiling sinisterly.

“Can’t we get some rest today?”

“Is that okay?”

“yes?”

Ugh. I’m afraid of stealing, which I learned late in life, and since I got married, I’ve been screaming happily every day. But what can I do?

This is also a result I must accept.

I followed along with them, watching them happily gather their ingredients and go out.

There were quite a few soldiers outside the dungeon. No, not just them. There are quite a few heroes who have come to conquer other dungeons nearby.

“Ah! Are you out?!”

After we left, the White Dungeon began to fall apart. One of the soldiers who saw this hurriedly approached us and shouted.

What’s going on?

“It is said that a monster wave is heading this way now! Other heroes are also preparing for battle… would you like to participate?”

It was a question, but it was almost like a desperate plea. Well, they are S-class and almost S-class, so even if they are still academy cadets, this is inevitable.

When I looked around at the party members who had just come out of the dungeon and might be tired, they all showed no reaction. So then there is no big problem.

“I guess you can do it. I understand.”

“thank you!”

Passing by the happy soldiers, I headed to where the heroes were gathered. Looking at the dust rising from beyond the wilderness, I saw a group of monsters, numbering at least a hundred, running towards me.

“There’s no need to give special instructions, right?”

Elizabeth is the leader of our party, but I give the instructions.

However, the number of enemies is not that many, and none of them seem particularly strong.

In that case, it would be better to let them fight freely.

“Sure! There are some great dealers here!”

“There are also great tanks.”

“Don’t forget the healer too.”

Even if I defeat those monsters or conquer the dungeons, I cannot know the future of this world.

Still, there was no fear of the unknown.

okay. There are great dealers, there are great tanks, and there are great healers.

And there’s a great buffer to support them, so what’s there to be afraid of?

I burst out laughing as I stared at the monsters that were beginning to appear through the dust.

“Haha!! Well! It’ll work out somehow! Come on! Get the buff!!”
