I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

87 – What Happened in the Red Dungeon – 4

If you clear several other sub-events related to this gem, you will realize the gem’s identity and later process it to obtain artifact-level equipment. There will be

But I didn’t expect to receive this much.

In Hero Academia, only the main character participated in the Cheonsoo Lake event, but we all got jewels, probably because we came together this time.

Good. I don’t know if I’ll be able to process everyone’s jewels later on, but it’s not just equipment, it’s helpful because the stats go up just by having it.

“This gem… I can feel some power.”

As Elizabeth spoke while holding her jewelry, Yoo Hye-jeong gave her a bitter smile.

“I received a lot of things because of my illness. But the illness wasn’t cured…”

“But why did you have so many of them? This… I don’t think the effect will overlap even if you have several.”

When Jin asked Siyeon, who held Serenia’s two jewels in both her hands, including the one she was holding, she nodded her head.

“At first, I was just wondering. It was a gem that could be obtained from some ruins, and the association said they didn’t know the identity, so I thought it might have hidden powers, so I collected it.”

But having several of them didn’t mean much. So, after purchasing several, he gave one to Cheon Soo-ho, got one for himself, and kept the rest.

“It’s a gem that even the association doesn’t know about…”

“I don’t know if he doesn’t know his identity or if he doesn’t want to be identified.”

“Well… All research requires time and money…”

“That’s right. It seems like you didn’t study this gem.”

Yoo Hye-jeong looked at me, and I shrugged.

I didn’t have anything to ask.

“Let’s not decline. There are many of these guys. And…”

Cheon Soo-ho said seriously.

“You said you would help me? Wouldn’t it be better to think of it as the reward for the request?”

“I was thinking of helping you even if you didn’t get these things.”

Because there are things that Cheon Soo-ho owes in one way or another. And I’m thinking of taking care of myself in the future.

It’s hard to find a tank as good as that guy.

“What? Is that so? Then you return…”

“Would you like to?”

Still, you can’t spit out what you’ve received.

I put the jewel on my hand into my pocket. Yoo Hye-jeong smiled at me.

“Anyway, I’ll use it well.”

“Whoops. I hope you will help Suho a lot. And… He’s an ugly boyfriend, and he’s also a childhood friend. He’s stubborn and stubborn, but… Please take care of him anyway.”

“Oh yes.”

It was a pretty polite greeting, bowing down to the waist. She greeted her face-to-face, and meanwhile Serenia, who seemed to have sobered up her drink, came to her senses and stood up.

“Then we’re done…”

“Yes. It’s fine anytime, so please come visit me.”

We headed to the gate with Yoo Hye-jeong sending us off. While there was silence for a while, it was none other than Yoo Choa who broke the silence.

“But Suho, I didn’t know you could have such a wonderful girlfriend.”

“I’m cooler.”

Where is your conscience? We were stunned by Cheon Soo-ho’s confident words, and I spoke on behalf of everyone.

“Looking at it objectively, I think I miss your girlfriend more.”

When he told his honest feelings, Cheon Soo-ho seemed to be moved. But that’s only for a moment. He muttered in a tone full of bitterness.

“…Actually, I think that way too. Hyejeong has always been mature and talented. She awakened before me. And when she was evaluated, she said she had great potential…”

As the runaway from her magical power continued, she eventually became unable to train anymore. Because of that, her mother Yoo Hye-jung was quite heartbroken, and it is said that her Cheonsu-ho swore an oath to her.

“That disease. I said I would definitely cure it. But I can’t be a doctor, and the cure is already known. That’s why I decided to become a hero. That… You know that, right? It’s an elixir. “

Elixir.

A panacea that can cure all diseases.

So far, only five cases have been discovered, and all five have boasted perfect effects.

“Uh. I know. But the elixir? It’s a rare medicine that can only be found in ruins?”

“Yes. They say that Hyejeong’s illness can be cured with just that. My goal is to get the elixir.”

However, the difficulty of the ruins where the elixir can come out is not normal. At least an A-class hero was required to apply, so Cheon Soo-ho always had no choice but to work hard.

“If you graduate with the highest grades, you can become an A-class hero right away. Also, you can attack the ruins right away.”

Chun Soo-ho’s eyes sparkled, and Elizabeth, who was looking at him, smiled warmly.

“Challenge as much as you like!!”

“Ha! I’ll see if I can afford it at the end of the term!”

It was past midnight when she returned to the academy. There was nothing more to do, so we decided to disband and each returned to our dorms.

Entering my room in the dormitory, I took out the jewelry I had received from Hyejeong Yoo and put it on her desk.

It was definitely around the end of Chapter 2 that this jewel linkage event started in Hero Academia. Until then, I’ll have to keep it quiet.

– Rurlureung!!

As I was thinking while looking at jewelry, the phone rang. It was Elizabeth.

“Hello?”

[Oh! It’s me! You didn’t wake up from sleeping, right?!]

“Yes. No. But what happened?”

[I just couldn’t sleep! If it’s okay, can I talk to you for a second?]

“That’s fine.”

I’m talking briskly as always, but I’ve heard it several times. There was power in her voice. Is there something that bothers you?

[I was a little surprised to hear about Cheon Soo-ho earlier. I never thought he would have such a purpose…]

“The reasons for wanting to be strong are different.”

There are people who aim for money like Ki Ki-yeol, and there are people who want to be strong for their lover like Cheon Soo-ho.

Jin Si-yeon tries to become stronger to become the family head of the Jin family.

Besides that, everyone else has their own reasons and is trying to become stronger.

[…I don’t think there’s a clear reason. I came back and thought about it. I think he thinks he should be strong just because he is the heir to the Taylor family.]

“You have to be strong as an aristocrat. You have to be strong because you are the heir to the Taylor family. Or you have to be strong because you genuinely yearn for strength. Isn’t that worse than being strong for others?”

The reasons are different, but the weight is not the same.

People live for what they carry on their shoulders. If so, that’s all you need to think about.

[…Is that so?]

“And I don’t want to be strong for a great reason either.”

[Then why are you trying to be strong?]

Me? It’s me. The first thing is to clear the true ending. And the second is to eat well and live well.

“hahahaha. I’m a bit worldly. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing. And anyway, if I get stronger, everyone will be comfortable, so I have no intention of not not trying.”

[That’s right.]

“So don’t be too pressured. And I like it when you become stronger.”

[Oh? Why?]

“A great buffer needs a great companion.”

Silence follows. Did you lose your phone?

[Hohohohoho!! Okay!! Well, you’d be hard pressed to find a partner as great as me! Yes! Okay!]

The voice that I heard again contained strength.

Yes. This is Elizabeth.

“Let’s not think too hard.”

[I’d love to do that! After all, talking to John puts my mind at ease!!]

“You can call me anytime for advice.”

[Hoho! Is that a promise?]

“Of course. Ah. By the way, are the training camp preparations going well? Next week is the camp.”

[Of course. Yesterday too…]

It was small talk after that. Being trained by the Taylor family is difficult. I still feel like I’m getting stronger.

Other than that, I found a nice restaurant and they asked me to go with them, etc.

[Ah. It’s already time like this… Soon, John should be sleeping too, right? I had a lot of trouble today. Sorry for wasting your time.]

“Okay. What’s between us. Anyway, good night. Have a nice dream!”

[Yes! John too!]

I went to bed when the phone hung up. Then let’s go to sleep I have to start my academic schedule tomorrow too.

– Tring!

As I lay down on the bed, I heard the sound of a message coming. When I checked the terminal, it was Jin Si-yeon.

[Now?]

Is it correct to reply?

I was about to write a message, but I just pressed the call button.

[What is it? Didn’t you sleep?]

“I’m going to bed now. Why? Did you have a nightmare? Yes. Brother will soothe you. Shall I sing you a lullaby?”

[What did you say… It’s done. Do you have time tomorrow?]

Tomorrow? After the academic schedule is over, there is nothing special other than club activities.

“I think you’re just going to do some archery training?”

[Really? Well…]

“Why?”

[No. I wonder if you can give me some time tomorrow. There is a place I want you to go with.]

“Where?”

[…Jinga.]

Come to think of it, I decided to go to Jinga after going through the red dungeon.

“Yes. I will.”

[…Surprisingly, you kindly allow it? Shouldn’t we do club activities?]

“Isn’t there a reason why you called me separately at this time and asked me to go with you?”

[Haa… That’s true.]

“Then it would be right to follow that.”

[I wish I could follow you like that in other things…]

“Hey. Even in battle, if you asked me to trust you, I trusted you. And I’m going to approve of most of what you do.”

Jin Shi-yeon, who was silent for a while, let out a small breath and spoke as if she was spitting out.

[Whatever… No matter what?]

“I don’t think you’re going to do anything wrong?”

She is Jin Si-yeon, who pursues integrity as much as she has strong pride. She doesn’t think she’ll do anything crap.

From nob le mt l. co m

No, it’s more likely because I’m going to pursue a degree that makes me want to be a bit naive. Then it is natural to trust her.

[Ha. That’s really… I’m grateful.]
