I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

46 – There’s no reason to be uncomfortable – 3

As you live, you will meet all sorts of people.

Not only when I was in the orphanage, but among the people I met in my previous life, the truth was not one or two.

Compared to that, Jin Shi-yeon’s attitude is just cute.

“…Really?”

But she said it seemed a bit special to her. She looked at me with her eyes narrowed and shrugged her shoulders.

“Even if you were friendly with me, you wouldn’t get any help from Jinga.”

“You don’t care about that?!”

I don’t live in such a hard life that I ask for help from someone else’s family, so why would I reach out my hand for help?

If you meet Azazel later, change your aptitude to strengthen, and walk the path of a buffer in earnest, you can live well on your own, but you don’t have to ask for Jinga’s help.

“Ooh.”

A smile hung on Jin Si-yeon’s lips. After looking at me for a moment, she tapped my shoulder lightly.

“Okay. Then let’s go to dinner. Cadet cafeteria?”

“Is there anywhere else we can go?”

If you are a cadet, you should eat at the cadet cafeteria.

I went to the cadet cafeteria with Jin Si-yeon. She’s pork cutlet set meal. And I have ramen set meal.

“…You eat very poorly.”

“What?! Are you ignoring ramen noodles?!”

How good is this in terms of cost performance?

I shot at her with her smile and took the food that came out.

When we were eating while facing each other, Jin Shi-yeon chewed a large pork cutlet and tilted her head.

“It tastes better than I thought.”

“Is this your first time eating at a restaurant?”

“Yes.”

Come to think of it, she has never seen Jin Si-yeon at the cadet cafeteria. Where does he usually eat?

Are you going out to eat something expensive for lunch just because you’re a lady from a noble house?

“…Why are you staring at me like that?”

“No. I was wondering where you had lunch.”

“I just buy bread from the cafeteria and stuff it.”

“I don’t think that’s what I’m saying, but I think you should eat well.”

“…I don’t think that’s what you really mean.”

“If you don’t want to eat alone, let’s eat together.”

“Hmm… I’ll think about it.”

It’s also very expensive.

Jin Shi-yeon again put her pork cutlet in her mouth and swallowed it with a gulp. And as if she was curious, she looked down at the pork cutlet.

“Anyway, it’s really better than I thought.”

“The cadet cafeteria is good. Elizabeth also comes often to eat.”

“Because he likes things like that.”

“That’s right. But are you on good terms with Elizabeth or bad?”

“Ambiguous.”

Siyeon Jin, who was munching on the sliced cabbage, gave a short answer. Since then, she hasn’t said much.

If you don’t want to tell me, don’t.

“By the way, what buff did you learn?”

“Blessing of the Holy Spirit, Diamond Sutra, Shadow of Twilight, Celestial Run, multi attack power increase.”

“Isn’t there a buff that increases hit rate or evasion rate? Is there such a thing?”

There is, but it’s hard to find right now.

Now I have to go around the dungeon and prepare to match the equipment.

You have to get a certain amount of equipment and proper fixed party members to go around dungeons with good buff skill books.

“Ah. I heard that an interesting buff skill book came out at the auction house a while ago.”

“What is it?”

“Shadow walk.”

“Wow. That’s a good buff.”

Shadow Step is a buff that increases the evasion rate quite high. It was popular in its own way in the original, where buffs were treated coldly because they were buff.

“It must be expensive.”

“I heard it was 100 million won. I heard that a hero named Han Se-jin bought it?”

If it’s Han Se-jin… It’s a name that didn’t appear in the game. However, in reality, he was a well-known A-rank magician, specializing in illusion magic.

“It’s expensive…”

Anyway, I can’t even touch it now. Still, you know where the dungeon where the Shadow Walk skill book is located, and you can learn a higher level skill than Shadow Walk through Azazel, so let’s just skip it for now.

“But how do you know the information about the auction house? Cadets don’t often look at the auction house.”

Skillbooks on the auction house boast basic prices of over 50 million won. As such, there was no need for cadets to search the auction house.

“…There is a skill I want to learn.”

“What?”

“There is. Moonlight Strike.”

Moonlight Strike. Among the Tao-type skills, it is a skill that ranks high in terms of attack power.

I didn’t know he wanted moonlight…

Among Jinga’s projections, there must be many that are better than Moonlight Strike, so why bother looking for them?

Is there some reason I don’t know about?

You can get the Moonlight Strike skill book from the dungeon you have to go to later anyway, so let’s take it with you then.

“After. I ate it all.”

We ate while talking, and the meal was over before we knew it.

“By the way, after the midterm exams, there’s an individual combat ability evaluation. No matter how much you say you’re a buffer, you can’t ignore the individual combat ability evaluation. If you need sparring, I’ll join you.”

“Whoa. Friend. There’s no need for that. I have my own way to evaluate individual combat power.”

As Jin Si-yeon said, after the midterm exam, you have to take an individual combat evaluation. But there is an easy way to get past that.

“Friend…”

“We ate together, trained together, and fought together, so wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that we are friends?”

Siyeon Jin, who was staring at me without saying a word, had a faint smile on her lips.

“Isn’t that an exaggeration?”

“That’s damn expensive.”

“Whoop whoop…”

Jin Si-yeon gave a low giggle and stood up from her seat.

“Then let’s go. Let’s have a cup of coffee and disperse.”

The next day. After morning class, Elizabeth, who was sitting next to me, jumped out of her seat.

“Let’s go to lunch!!”

“Are you hungry?”

“Oh, that’s not it?! That…”

“Hey. Put me in too.”

At that time, Max approached and said calmly.

“Today we are going to eat at the cadet cafeteria, let’s eat together. Ah. Am I interfering?”

“Ohohohoho! Interruption!”

“Then may I participate?”

It was Satsuki. As she approached with a small smile, Elizabeth nodded her head and smiled brightly.

“Of course! Then together…”

“Hey. Kim Yohan. Let’s go eat.”

It was then. Jin Si-yeon approached with a blunt expression.

“What are those expressions?”

Max stiffened, Satsuki widened her eyes, and Elizabeth panicked.

Am I the only one who is fine?

“No. Siyeon Jin. You always said you didn’t need to be in a group and went around alone, didn’t you?”

“Me? When am I? It’s just easier to eat alone.”

“But why?”

“Can’t you?”

“Nothing is impossible. But Siyeon. I didn’t know you would invite me?!”

“It could be. Why. Inconvenient?”

“Um… No. It doesn’t matter. John. Are you okay?”

It’s me, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is to have a full lunch.

Originally, Elizabeth and the two of us had an appointment to eat, but there were more people, but there was no problem.

The five of us headed to the restaurant together, and when I tried to buy Elizabeth’s meal tickets, she bought hers faster than I did.

“Whoops. Buy me lunch the next time the two of us eat.”

“So what?”

That’s how each of us bought a meal ticket and gathered together.

“Are you ramen again?”

“Don’t ignore ramen. By the way, Max. I think there was a reason why he suddenly asked to eat…”

“It’s because of the dungeon strategy test. Hey. What did you write down? Pick out some past questions.”

I thought so. Well, I had to prepare for the dungeon attack soon, and I had to find a party.

If Max passes, it would be better to go with him later when the schedule is right.

“Satsuki, do you want to go with me later?”

“Ah. I’ve decided to go with you… I’d like to go with you if the time is right…”

Well, the Japanese tended to stick together. Satsuki is also Japanese, so it would be appropriate for her to go with the cadets from Japan.

“Yeah? Good job.”

“Whoops. Yes.”

“Anyway. Hey. How was the exam?”

“Writing wasn’t that difficult… I don’t think there’s any need for past exam questions? Study based on textbooks. And practical skills… If you have good team luck, you’ll be able to do it, right?”

“Okay. Then I’ll have to try the next test.”

“I hope you stick with it. There aren’t many good melee damage dealers and tanks.”

“Ha ha. Yes.”

“So? John. When are you planning to go to the dungeon?”

“I don’t think it’s going to take long. I’m going to try it this week.”

There are no hunting club activities this week. Shouldn’t we make good use of the weekend?

“I heard that there is a dungeon in Sokcho. I think I can go there if I apply.”

Siyeon Jin, who had been silent for a while, spat out a word. She’s definitely familiar with active duty people, so this kind of information is quick.

“If you’re going, I’ll go too.”

Siyeon Jin, who had been silent, spat out a word. Of course it’s me when she gets stuck, but is she going to be okay?

I think Max was surprised by her reaction as well.

“Huh? Aren’t you going with the heroes of Jinga?”

“It doesn’t have to be that way.”

“If so…”

“Me too! I’m coming too!”

Elizabeth said urgently. She must have known that the slight trembling in her eyes meant that she was leaving without her.

hahahaha. This guy can’t you?

“If Elizabeth is with you, you have nothing to fear.”

“Ohohohohoho!! Isn’t it?!”

I really like it. Yes. It’s nice to see you smiling

“I think it would be better to go with four people. Shall we flirt with Yuchoa or Cheonsuho? I’ll contact you.”

“As expected, Yohan Kim. His feet are surprisingly wide. I’ll leave the party composition up to you.”

Jin Si-yeon smiled and I felt uncomfortable.

“…Why does it seem so natural for me to be the party leader?”

I don’t care about being a leader. It would be better to seduce Cheon Soo-ho, who also likes to go out, and make him the party leader.

“It’s fate.”

“Ha ha.”

[Oops. I don’t think I can because I have to go home this week.]

Impossible! Cheonsooho, whom I believed in, said no!

Even in the game, when I asked to go to a dungeon, there were people who could do it according to their schedule, and there were people who couldn’t.

Shall we just go with the three of us?

Honestly, I don’t think there will be a problem with Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon… I think it’ll be better if I’m included as well.

I’m worried. Um… How do you do it?

– Tring!

It’s Yuchoa.

Aren’t you? Right?!

[This week? Yes! Let’s go!]

As expected, the main character!

You won’t betray me!!
