I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

5 – Introduction to the buffer starting with expulsion – 5

The confusion was quickly resolved, and Kim Yeon-ha looked at Elizabeth and me with a smile and turned her head.

“Jin Si-yeon. Pick yourself up too.”

“As the successor of Shinseong Jinga, I want to face A-class alone.”

Like Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, who is the leading character in Hero Academia and the eldest daughter of Shin Seong Jin-ga, a prestigious Korean family, and arrogant and full of pride in herself, said straight up, and she snorted at Kim Yeon-ha.

“Jin Shi-yeon withdrew…”

“Oh?! Crenbe! I’ll choose the cranbe!”

In the end, Jin Si-yeon chose one of the extras whose name I did not know, and a smile caught on the corner of Kim Yeon-ha’s lips.

Is that smile because of the next hero’s good looks, or do the kids dare to look down on me?! It was difficult to distinguish whether the laughter had a meaning.

“Crenbe. In terms of ranking, he’s right above Kim Yo-han. Yes. Well. You guys are doing that. What can I say? You’ll have to take care of the rest, right? Goo Jin-ah is next.”

Gu Jin-ah and Max, who were hesitant about the fact that the 1st and 2nd place deliberately chose weak team members, pondered for a long time, and the next person, Gu Jin-ah, clenched her fists tightly.

“I’ll choose Chae Ji-ho.”

Jiho Chae. A supporting actor in Hero Academia and a tank that uses a shield.

Not a bad choice.

Looking at the wand he’s holding, he looks like a wizard, but a good tanker is a must for a wizard who focuses on ranged attacks.

“Oh.”

The bear-like guy lightly got up from his seat and fell backwards.

Kim Yeon-ha, who was watching it, nodded her head and winked at Max, a German of about the same size as Chae Ji-ho, who looked good with a glass of beer.

“I’ll choose Yang Wei.”

As he answered in broken Korean, a boy in the corner raised his hand. A shaman who is good at sorcery using amulets and can use the skill called Five Steps from the beginning.

It was not a bad choice since he was good at attacking and defending.

It was a strange atmosphere even after that. Elisabeth and Jin Si-yeon chose team members mainly in the lower ranks as if competing, and Max and Sung Jin-ah mainly in the upper ranks.

“It is the responsibility of those who stand on top to make decisions. Now, then, let’s go straight to the training ground.”

We headed to the training ground under Kim Yeon-ha’s guidance. There were quite a few familiar faces at the training ground to see if other classes had already undergone tests similar to ours.

A lead character, a supporting character… And even a villain character.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen them, but I didn’t think they were awkward, perhaps because of memories from my previous life.

It’s to the point where I feel a sense of familiarity.

“Everyone, gather around.”

The three members gathered at the call of Elizabeth, the leader.

Elizabeth holding a sword, Satsuki holding a Nagigata, and Colombo holding a shield.

“…Are you empty-handed?”

I asked Colombo, who was holding a shield in an awkward tone, and I nodded.

“I’m a beggar. I don’t have any equipment.”

It seems that the relics that were originally borrowed when he was a prospective member of the student council were confiscated again, and buffer equipment is unlikely to be available at least in the academy.

“Then why don’t you use the one over there?”

The ‘training’ equipment that must appear in this type of game was in the corner of the training ground.

Of course, the cadets who entered the academy didn’t even look at it, but I’m sensitive to it.

“John. Use the sword. The sword.”

“The window is fine too.”

“Still, I don’t think the heal will be enough. How about a tank that holds out with a heal while blocking?”

Local broadcasting is noisy.

“…A bow?”

“Do you know how to shoot a bow?”

I don’t know.

I chose the bow because it has a bonus to mental strength.

No matter how much my growth bonus is mentality, it’s still better to get extra points.

[Training Bow]

[This is a bow given to cadets in training. In the past, scholars faced many evil spirits and disasters with only one bow and did not retreat. In honor of that spirit, mental strength increases slightly when equipped.]

[Spirit + 0.1]

Look. Are you mentally strong?

This is enough.

If this is it.

“Looks like everyone’s ready… Then let’s start with Elizabeth Jo.”

As soon as he saw me holding the bow, Kim Yeon-ha called us. Elizabeth, who confidently climbed up without hesitation, and me, who became excited with the two of them who were a bit scared.

Come on. What’s going to happen now

Obviously in games…

“As I said before… You should be prepared to get hurt.”

“That… I’d better not say it too strongly.”

“Why. You look weak?”

“No. I’m scared.”

“…..”

I told you my honest feelings, but why did you look like that?

– Hwareuk!

The moment that bloomed in Kim Yeon-ha’s right eye was a blue naturalization. It was a sign that she wouldn’t give it her all, but she wouldn’t even look at it.

And the fact that naturalization is on the rise means that Kim Yeon-ha’s quest rewards are getting better…

“Ugh…”

“Evil…”

“Kuh…”

“… Huh?”

“Huh?”

Through her naturalization, she revealed some of her strength, and in the process, the three of them got tired of Kim Yeon-ha’s momentum. When Kim Yeon-ha’s gaze reached me, who was satisfied with watching them flinch, I scratched my cheek.

Is this because you have high spirits to withstand the spirit?

“Now, let’s begin…”

“Wait!!”

“What is it?”

“Isn’t the original master conceding three seconds to his junior?!”

“…Of course there are people like that, but you’re the first person to openly ask for something like that. Kim Yohan. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Should be shy, kid.”

It’s a lie.

How can you live in the world if you are ashamed of something like this?

Kim Yeon-ha, who was staring at her desperate performance, finally snorted at her and nodded her head.

“If you want to act, do it properly…”

Wasn’t it a perfect facial expression?

“Okay. Then three times. I’ll give you a chance to use the skill. Elizabeth. Can you do it?”

She bit her lip lightly and nodded her head, suppressed by her spirit. The moment she clenched her sword tightly, she was about to use her skill in earnest.

I grabbed her by the shoulder.

“Come on. Gather. Gather.”

“…What are you trying to do?”

“What is…?”

“Ugh… Aren’t you afraid…? Just that spirit…”

“Ah. If you’re afraid right now, you’ll be in trouble.”

After I looked around my teammates, I closed my eyes.

“… Huh?”

Activated the blessing of the Holy Spirit on Elizabeth.

Elisabeth’s big eyes widened as if she felt that her own strength had been strengthened by that.

And… Tsk. Kim Yeon-ha must have noticed it too.

I saw her lift a finger.

I thought she would just pass because she didn’t have much effect.

Sorry!

“…Kim Yohan. You…”

Second. Diamond Sutra.

It would be nice if the same buff was duplicated, but unfortunately, that’s not possible…

Still, strengthening her defense against her formidable enemies is not a bad choice.

She had no choice in the first place.

Oh my god, I can only use two buffs with a bad buffer… I need to quickly learn another skill.

The power transmitted from me increases her defense.

Unlike when she first learned it, her skills must have risen to a meaningful level now that she has steadily raised her proficiency.

“This… I like it!!”

That’s a relief.

As most games have tutorials, Hero Academia also had tutorials.

That’s the start of the first class versus the instructor.

And, in this tutorial, battles and rewards change through dialogue and party member selection.

It was the developer’s consideration for the users who were somewhat stagnant.

Come on. Now, I’ve seen it hundreds of times in games, but it’s the first time in real life.

But even so, nothing changed.

As a buffer, all I have to do is quickly calculate the duration and cooldown and send buffs to the party members.

Considering the cooldown, it’s difficult to send Elizabeth right now… Let’s try to match the time while pretending to be in a strategy meeting.

“Okay. Then I’ll briefly explain the operation.”

“…Why are you plotting?”

“Elizabeth is also calm.”

The two people who didn’t receive the buff said in a flirtatious manner, and I looked at Elizabeth. After receiving my buff and becoming stronger, she kept her mouth shut as if thinking for a moment.

“Let’s try as Kim Yohan said.”

“Okay. Then…”

“Hey. How long do I have to wait?”

“We are in a strategy meeting!”

“That’s true.”

It’s good that you got the third chance. I told the assembled group what to do, and although everyone looked puzzled, perhaps thanks to Elizabeth’s connivance, they just agreed to do as I said.

“Elizabeth. You are strong now. Charge.”

Conceding the opportunity to attack three times means that even if Elizabeth attacks, she will only defend or avoid it.

Then you don’t have to be afraid of a counterattack.

“Haaap…!!!”

Elizabeth’s swordsmanship will become stronger as she grows stronger with the blessing of her Holy Spirit.

As if to prove it, brilliant light began to emanate from Elizabeth’s sword, and Kim Yeon-ha’s eyes shone with a different color as she faced it.

“Are you the chief?”

With a little admiration, Kim Yeon-ha stared at Elizabeth. Yes. Now is your chance.

I nodded lightly, and Satsuki and Colombo began preparing to use their skills.

“Haaa!!”

Elizabeth runs out with a sharp spirit, and Kim Yeon-ha confidently faces it.

-Ughhh…!!

The wind howls. The magical energy around Kim Yeon-ha began to create a wind barrier at her command, and Elizabeth practiced her specialty, the Taylor family swordsmanship, against the wall.

-Card Deuk!!

A flash of light rips through the green wind.

But I guess A-class is A-class for nothing. Kim Yeon-ha’s wish was not easily penetrated even by Elizabeth.

Yes.

If only it was Elizabeth.

-Suddenly!!

“No?!”

Kim Yeon-ha’s eyes widen. Because the light contained in Elizabeth’s sword eventually extinguished Kim Yeon-ha’s wish.

“Haaa!!”

Elizabeth’s sword, which pierced the wind barrier and arrived near Kim Yeon-ha, moves.

Fast, sharp and sharp sword strikes.

Bewildered by that, he backs away or creates a magical shield to block it.

Kim Yeon-ha is a hero who uses the wind to attack enemies from a distance, so it couldn’t be easy to avoid being attacked in close proximity.

Of course, Class A is still Class A.

When I barely escaped Elizabeth’s attack and fell behind her.

I laughed.

The cooldown is over!

“Huh?!”

Satsuki’s expression changed while holding the Nagikata. It must have been because he felt the blessings and the effects of the Diamond Sutra on him. Then…

“You’ve become stronger too! Charge!!”

“Huh? Okay!”

Is it because we talked about it beforehand? Even in a panicked state, Satsuki ran right away, and Kim Yeon-ha, who stepped back and moved closer to us after Elizabeth’s attack changed her seat, gritted her teeth.

“Haap!!”

She stomped her feet loudly, and the wind threw her body into the air. The moment Satsuki’s attack is dodged by leaping, a powerful shockwave of wind is launched from the air.

“Huh!”

“Huh!!”

-Tae Ae Aeng!!

“What?!”

Elizabeth, Satsuki. The green shockwave that poured into the bodies of the two women did not work properly.

That’s also true, because now they have a Diamond Sutra that increases their defense.

Of course, I couldn’t completely get rid of the pain itself, but my Diamond Sutra should be enough to alleviate the pain and reduce the damage.

As I expected, Elizabeth and Satsuki received the shock wave with their bodies and drove away the falling Kim Yeon-ha.

“You hardened! Charge!!”

“Ugh!”

Colombo, surprised by Elizabeth and Satsuki’s efforts, also ran out. While moving the shield to block Kim Yeon-ha’s attack or the appearance of Colombo filling her with her body, the surroundings burst into exclamation.

I raised my bow and aimed it at Kim Yeon-ha.

“Shot!!”

“What?!”

Her arrow, which was aimed at her, flew off and landed on her floor in vain.

“… What is it?”

Look at it that way. I’ve never even shot a bow.

Still, I did pull it with aggro, which is the main purpose.

“Caught.”

Elizabeth was by Kim Yeon-ha’s side before she knew it. And just as the cooldown was over, she immediately buffed Elizabeth.

Satsuki’s attack swayed her posture, and she didn’t miss the chance, and the flashing sword was aiming at Kim Yeon-ha like a hawk targeting her chicks.

“Eek…!!”

-Kuuu!!

I can’t stop it.

Because it was an attack that was fired immediately after blocking Satsuki and Colombo’s attack.

I’m going to hit you with this one! Just when she wanted to, a huge wind burst out around her.

The three of them fell to the floor in the wind that was so powerful that only the Diamond Sutra or the blessing of the Holy Spirit could not withstand it, and Kim Yeon-ha looked at me with a bitter smile.

What. Why. What.

“…Ha. What a bunch of idiots. Okay. The fact that an A-class hero gave his all to the cadets who just entered school is proof that he was defeated…”

Shrugging her shoulders, she stared at me and said calmly.

“Passed.”

Wow! Pass!

Wow! A salty reward!
