I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

39 – Entering the Story – 4

In the first DLC, one of the equipment that can be purchased from Azazel with money is the Soul Ring.

The materials used to make it were the Centurion’s Ring, Mook’s Ring, Advanced Energy Core, and Blood Claws.

Holrang’s Claw is a material item that can be obtained with a low probability when catching a B-class monster, Hyolrang. You can’t find it right now, so you can just get it through events or quests on the association side.

And you can get advanced energy cores by gathering energy while going around dungeons, so there’s no problem…

Mook’s ring could be easily purchased at the auction house used by association heroes. In fact, when I entered the auction house, it was being traded at around 2 million won per piece.

It’s filthy expensive!!

I received some bounty money for the fortress, but considering the cost of living… Ugh. It’s a big deal.

“Why is that?”

“It’s nothing. More than that, are we done now?”

“Is it… Isn’t it?”

Jinhorang said that he would go to attack the dungeon in earnest, and other heroes of the Jinga said they would take this position, so there is no need for cadets like us to step out. Then I thought it would be better to come back slowly.

“I came all the way to Busan. Can’t we play a little longer?”

“I have work to do.”

As expected, Jin Shi-yeon. You don’t betray your expectations. She just cut it off and left, and the rest of us looked at each other blankly.

“How. Shall we play together?”

“I’ll go back and do some training.”

Cheon Soo-ho didn’t seem interested. He just left and all we have left is the three of us.

Yoo Choa looked at me earnestly, but…

“Let’s go back and train!! Yohan! Choa! Let’s make up for what we lacked in the previous battle!!”

“Aww…”

Yuchoa had a tired expression on her face, but Elizabeth wasn’t the kind of person to see her like that. As she was being dragged to her gate, caught by her, Yuchoa looked towards her beach side, she said.

“Then why did strong enemies suddenly appear?”

“Well…”

“Is it because of the blue bird that calls for the end?”

It’s not like that.

I looked at the beach Yoo Choa was staring at.

“Hey. I heard you all went to Taejongdae yesterday?”

The next day. I came into the classroom for class and was resting when a classmate called me. The name…

“Jeon Yoo-ho. Jeon Yu-ho. Isn’t it necessary to know at least the names of the students in the same class?”

“Oh. Yes. But how did you know that?”

“Did you hear the news?”

“Huh?”

Such news broke? I manipulated the terminal and immediately checked the Internet news. It was definitely floating in the news this morning.

“Jinho-rang. Defeating the Taejongdae dungeon…”

Under the title, there were pictures and articles of heroes fighting in Taejongdae. And in one part, it was written about the activities of the academy cadets.

[The academy cadets could not be ignored in defeating the monsters that occurred at Taejongdae this time. Academy cadets Elizabeth Taylor, Jin Shi-yeon, Cheon Su-ho, and Yoo Cho-ah. Even though he was still a cadet, Yohan Kim fought brilliantly and prevented the monsters from Taejongdae from harming the citizens…]

Written at length.

I looked around while reading the article. There was a little bit of goodwill mixed in the gaze directed towards me.

“You seem to be doing a lot better than I thought?”

“Probably more than you think. So?”

“No. It’s just that I had a lot of trouble.”

The door to the classroom opened when Jeon Yoo-ho, smiling, went back to his seat. It was Elizabeth.

“Ohohoho! Good morning!”

“Wow! Elizabeth!”

“I saw the news! That’s great!”

“Hohohoho!! Did I only do it for one day?! Others did better!”

It’s different because it’s popular.

Only Yuho Jeon came to me.

But he wasn’t particularly interested in that part, so it didn’t matter.

“Did you sleep well?!”

“Yes. Good morning.”

“Yes! Good morning!”

By the time she sat down and the whispers of her students had subsided. The door opened and Jin Shi-yeon with a bag came in, and this time the classroom was quiet.

“I. Siyeon-ah.”

“What.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. That. They said they had a lot of trouble at Taejongdae…”

“It’s nothing.”

Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon usually fight a lot in Uijeongbu or other places. As such, this case will be nothing.

“That’s right. Actually, you’re Jinho-rang’s…”

“…My father doesn’t care.”

“Yes.”

He really doesn’t change until the end. She responded harshly to the other cadets who treated her, and Jin Si-yeon fell facedown on her desk. The cadet who hesitated in front of her, clearly unwilling to talk, returns to her seat.

“I wonder if he’ll be okay.”

“I’m worried. Siyeon isn’t friendly.”

“Huh. I can’t help it. I’m going to step in here…”

“Everyone take your seats. Class begins.”

Let’s move on next time.

“Apply for those who want to apply for the dungeon exploration qualification test.”

At the end of the class, Kim Yeon-ha said calmly.

At that, the cadets were taken aback. No wonder. Due to the school schedule, the dungeon exploration qualification test was originally driven together.

“It happened last time, and the association seems to have judged that making fun of talented guys isn’t very wise.”

What are you looking at?

Kim Yeon-ha’s sharp gaze caught me, and I avoided her gaze.

It’s too much that he did some skill training in class.

“I’m not saying you have to do it unconditionally. And there’s a participation test before you apply for the dungeon exploration qualification test. If you’re confident in your skills, it wouldn’t be bad to apply. Of course, even if you don’t, it won’t change your academic schedule.

“Then, is there any merit if I pass now?”

“No.”

You’re so cool!

“You say that, but it’s not like there’s no merit at all.”

Yes. Isn’t it an advantage to be able to go to the dungeon a little faster?

There is nothing more attractive than dungeon exploration for me, who is in a hurry for money right now.

“Come to think of it, Elizabeth. Can you skip the test?”

“Right? Why? Apply?”

“Yes.”

“Uh… Then I wonder if it would be better for me to go with you…”

“Wouldn’t that be a bit difficult?”

The dungeon exploration qualification test is to explore dungeons with unqualified people. If a qualified person goes together, what kind of test is that?

“I’m sure…?”

“By the way, what is the participation test?”

“Writing, 1st and 2nd practice. The part related to dungeon exploration will come out in the note, and the 1st practical test… It’s a combat ability test that I always do. It’s a party, so if you don’t want to catch other people’s ankles, train hard. The second practical skill is to actually clear the dungeon.”

“When is the deadline?”

“Until the academic schedule exam. If you have any more questions, come to the instructor’s office.”

Kim Yeon-ha checked the time and left. I’m more curious I have a lot of questions, but I don’t have to go there.

What’s the buffer holding back?

It’s a note. There’s a game that I worked hard on in my previous life, and I also studied in my own way, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

The problem is that…

“…Do I have to go to the prayer meter again this time?”

Because the prayer meta worked to some extent when I had a hunting club party the other day.

The dungeon exploration qualification test was quite an issue. When I went to the training ground, everyone was gathered together.

Yeonha Kim said that she had no merit, but like heroes, it seems inevitable that she wants to be put into action quickly.

Definitely not bad. Even if it’s not just heroic psychology, the more dungeons you clear, the higher your name value goes.

The more experience you gain, the faster you become stronger.

Anyway, perhaps because of that, the heat at the training ground seemed to be stronger than usual.

“John!”

“Huh? Why?”

“Are you going to take the test?”

As expected. Yoo Choa also seemed to be interested in the qualification test. And Cheon Soo-ho, who came with her.

“I’ll do it… The party is random.”

“That’s true. In the beginning, won’t everyone try to find out the trend?”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

“Wouldn’t it be more likely that we would end up in the same party if there were fewer of them?”

Impossible! Are you a genius I think IQ is around 160!!

“The first exam starts in three days. Let’s see then. You can apply from today, so let’s apply as soon as there are few people on the last day.”

“How many applicants…”

“The instructor told me about that.”

That’s it. For the rest of the time, let’s work hard on the prayer meter and training.

It was as expected by Choa Yoo. In the first test, there were not too many applicants, as if they were trying to look for trends.

Isn’t this for real?

I look forward to it.

Among the applicants, Choa Yoo, Suho Cheon, Max, and main and supporting characters were also included.

Like these cool guys.

I hope you stick to the handwriting.

“If you get caught while averting your eyes, you will die.”

The written test was divided into three parts. There were no familiar faces among the cadets taking the exam this time. But know something. The important thing is the handwriting problem.

I received the test paper while listening to the instructor’s bloody voice standing in front of me, and I started the test right away.

Um… Um… Um…

From nob le mt l. co m

Nothing special!

Thank you! Me in my previous life!

In general, these were problems that could be easily solved if you had played the game well. It was about monsters’ weaknesses, how to remove traps, and status ailments and equipment.

There were some difficult problems, but even if we just skipped those parts, it wouldn’t be a failure.

“Hmm…”

As soon as the hour-long test was over, the scoring began. I was relieved when the answer sheet went into the device and the pass was issued.

What kind of dog would it have been if it fell from here?

“You are in Group C.”

“Yes.”

“We’ll let you know who your teammates are by text. We have a meeting here tomorrow, so join us.”

“Okay.”

By the way, what happened to the other guys?

I headed to the training ground, praying that the guys who were taking exams in other classrooms would join.

And.

[B. C.]

It was a letter from Cheonsuho. Unbelievable! That works!

[Ugh ㅠㅠ I’m in Group A…]

Goodbye Yoo Choa. I suffered a lot during this time.
