I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

55 – The Weight of the Heir – 4

The place I moved through the gate was Seoul. Here is…

“Is it Yongsan?”

“Yes.”

It was devastated by monsters several times in the past, but it was restored through Jinga’s efforts, and later became Jinga’s land and is guarded by Jinga.

Our destination was a huge hanok in the middle of expensive Yongsan, where many government facilities are located and rich people live, based on the judgment that it is safe because it is the home of the famous Jinga family.

Coming out of the gate and moving in the prepared car, passing through a long fence that is difficult to know the end of, and arriving in front of the large front gate, Jin Si-yeon let out a small sigh and got off.

Are you nervous?

“Is the test very difficult?”

“I wouldn’t say it’s easy.”

She said lightly and headed for her front door. Could it be the guards at the front door? When they saw Jin Si-yeon, they greeted her politely and then looked at me.

“My lady. Are you here? But the person next to you…”

“Friends.”

“A friend…?”

I glanced at Jin’s demonstration, but she didn’t seem to care much, just kept her usual grave expression.

Anyway, the guard guarding the front door held out a card to me.

“There is a place inside Jinga that you cannot enter even if you are the lady’s friend. Please refer to that part.”

“Oh yes.”

“Sure.”

When I walked past the security guard who bowed his head slightly and went inside, I could see that although it was based on a hanok, it was equipped with a lot of the latest equipment.

A dummy in preparation for a villain attack, or a defense facility.

There are quite a few things I’ve seen in the lab before.

How much is it for one piece?

“Oh. Jin Shi-yeon. What’s going on with your family?”

What I heard then was a rough voice. Looking over there, he was a man in his early twenties with short hair and a sturdy build.

“…What’s wrong with people from the original family coming to the original family?”

“There’s nothing wrong… But coming to my parents’ house means I’m here to take a test, right?”

“Yes.”

“Yes? Then go.”

He smiled and moved out of the way. Jin Shi-yeon’s expression was still hardened, and it was only when she passed him that no one was there, and I asked her.

“Who are you?”

“A competitor for the heir position. My uncle’s son is Jin Seong-seong…”

“You can say cousin brother. What are you talking about so complicatedly? But I guess you don’t get along very well?”

“That’s the way it is. He’s also the one who’s aiming for the heir position.”

Jin Shi-yeon calmly explained the duties of the successor of the Jin family.

To become the official successor of the S-class hero Jinhorang, you must pass Jinga’s test.

And now, the man from earlier, Jin Seong-seong, is also challenging the position of successor.

“Really?”

“Yes. He is a person of true value, so he has qualifications.”

“How many tests did he pass?”

“I passed level 2 a while ago. And I think I will challenge level 3 soon. I will probably pass level 3 without difficulty…”

Among the 7 stages of the exam, Jin Shi-yeon is currently in the 4th stage and is said to be solidifying her position as the successor.

But this time he passed the 2nd step, and it seems that he will easily pass the 3rd step as well, so it seems that Jin Shi-yeon has become impatient.

“But can I fit in here?”

“It doesn’t matter. Jin Gu-seong got through with the help of artifact-grade equipment. He said he spent a lot of money.”

If it’s an artifact grade equipment, it’s definitely worth it. Most of the artifact level equipment has awesome options.

“By the way, is it okay to use artifact-level equipment for this test? Isn’t that equipment?”

“Because procurement of good equipment is also an ability.”

Then I have nothing to say.

“Then you’d better think I’ve become your equipment today.”

If procurement of relic-grade equipment is an ability, then bringing a buffer is also an ability.

“…Whoops. Will that happen again?”

“Welcome, young lady.”

As we entered the back of the building and moved to the spacious basement, we were greeted by an old man in a black stewardess uniform.

“The person next to you…”

“My friend.”

“I see. But the reason you’re here today…”

“To challenge the fifth test.”

“Okay, then I’ll prepare it right away. Please wait a moment.”

How long has it been since he left?

The devices hanging on the wall begin to move.

The newest dummy I’ve seen in the lab, along with a large golem, have appeared in the wide testing grounds.

“The time limit is 5 minutes.”

Wow. You mean you have to take them all down in 5 minutes?

It won’t be easy.

But Jin Si-yeon just silently drew out her sword.

Yes. If you thought it was worth it, it would be possible.

Then there is only one thing I can do for you.

I walked out of her testing room and gave her every buff I could.

“Let’s get started.”

The moment the last buff, the power of the soul, an old man in a butler’s suit announced the start,

-Quad Deuk Deuk!!

One of the dummy was shattered by her blow.

Awesome.

Seeing how he easily destroyed those piles just because he gave them some buffs, I feel it was worth giving.

After that, there was no particular problem. Even bullets fired from a long distance are thrown back with a swing of the sword, and after running and decapitating the dummy, it leaps into the air and attacks even golems with ease.

Although his ability has increased after receiving a lot of buffs, it seems that he is not being swayed by the buffs, but is making good use of his increased abilities.

Is this a talent…

“…Chit.”

I’m surprised. When did this person come again?

While watching Jin Si-yeon take her exam, the man from earlier, Jin Gu-gu, gritting his teeth, was watching Jin Si-yeon’s movements.

In the meantime, I looked at the red sword hanging from his waist.

It’s an artifact I know.

Blood marriage too.

It wasn’t an easy artifact to obtain, even in the game.

If possessing that is an ability, then it must be an ability.

-Kwaaang!!

The test ended with the last dummy being hit by Jin Si-yeon’s kick and falling.

The running time is 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Annihilating the enemy within 5 minutes is the criterion for passing the test, so it can be said that it has passed enough.

“You worked hard.”

I received a lot of buffs, but it didn’t seem easy. Jin Shi-yeon was breathing hard on her, her exhaustion evident, and her butler brought her a towel.

When she wiped off the dripping sweat, a faint smile hung on her lips.

“It’s pretty good. How is it? It’s been a long time since I’ve played a game?”

Jin Sung-sung stepped forward.

Wow. Kill it Applying for sparring when you’re exhausted after taking an exam right now?

“…Good.”

I knew this would happen. If Jin Si-yeon has a strong sense of self-respect, she will not refuse to take on the challenge.

“Hey. Wouldn’t it be better to take a break?”

“…That’s fine.”

I’m sure it will.

Anyway, now I am Jin Si-yeon’s equipment.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the so-called ego buffer. If so, I might as well say this.

“There…”

“What is it?”

“I’m Jin Si-yeon’s friend. By the way, sparring is good… But I think she needs to match her assortment to some extent. I don’t think she’ll like it just because she defeated a tired person…”

“Kuh. This guy cowardly argues…?”

Because I’m too honest to compete squarely with fabrications.

I glanced at Jin Shi-yeon. She sat back, slowly catching her breath, perhaps noticing that I was sharing her story with him to give herself time to rest.

“And he applied for sparring without hesitation, so there’s no reason for him to accept it.”

“A person who has the qualifications to be the successor of the Jin family avoids the challenge? That’s why I don’t have the qualifications of an heir. And I have the right to challenge Jin Si-yeon. What’s wrong with using that?”

“Ah. I’m not saying I’m bad, I’m just saying something. Should I say it’s a difference in skill?”

“What?! Are you saying I’m inferior to Jin Shi-yeon?!”

“I didn’t mean that. Hmm. I heard that you passed the 2nd level of the exam, and Jin Si-yeon passed the 5th level… Come to think of it, that also means…? At least the 3rd level passed. I think you have to do it to some extent to be on the same level.”

“…Inspiration!! Prepare for the test! Jin Shi-yeon! As soon as I finish the test, I’ll fight right away!! You’re not dissatisfied either?!”

She didn’t expect to get caught.

She stabbed it just in case, but she seems to have liked it too, so she challenges the 3rd level right away.

Then thank you.

If it is time for Jin Ku-su to take the test, Jin Shi-yeon will be able to recover her physical strength to some extent. She nodded her head slightly and her satisfied gin went inside her.

The dummy and golem that comes after.

But she’s fewer than before, and her performance seems weaker.

How long will it last…?

“Haaa!!”

Certainly, relics are good. Piles are being shattered or destroyed in one blow. Watching it, I approached Jin Si-yeon.

“Can you do it?”

“Thanks to…”

“Okay. Recover.”

I continued to give heels and watched Jin-seong’s test. Perhaps it was because he was a man of true value, his skills seemed to be not ordinary, except for his blood marriage.

“Hoo! I’m done! Hey! Come on!”

When the test is over, he doesn’t stop and says let’s start sparring right away, which makes me laugh.

“…I bought you so much time, but if I lose, I’ll be so embarrassed I can’t hold my head up.”

Siyeon Jin, who slowly got up from her seat, glanced at me and said. The smile on her lips grew a little wider.

“John.”

“Huh?”

“I’m watching. The opportunity you gave me. I won’t miss it.”

She said it lightly and stared at me before going inside. The moment the destroyed piles and golems disappeared and the training ground turned into a training ground in an instant, I immediately gave Jin Shiyeon a buff.

“Go!!”

Jin Shi-yeon’s ordinary Tao and her Jin Gu-seong’s Blood Married Tao collide. They are dealing with enemies with relic-level equipment, but Jin Si-yeon is also a leading role, and Jin Sung-sung is an extra who did not even appear in the game.

There is no way Jin Si-yeon will be pushed back since she has received plenty of buffs as well.

As expected, even though she didn’t attack several times, Jin-seong was only pushed back by her quick movement and subtle change of sword.

“You bastard! You’re fighting dirty!!”

Can I hear that, ‘Wow, you fight really well.’

I feel pretty good, probably because our side received rave reviews.
