I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

98 – Clean Up – 1

“You guys!! Are you okay?!”

I heard an urgent cry not long after defeating the imperfect millennial. Looking there, they were instructors.

It seems that everyone came with the intention of being properly armed.

“Yes. We are fine.”

“That’s fortunate. The attack intensified in other places as well… Eon Ju-young appeared.”

Eon Ju-young.

A strongman from China.

I found Eon Ju-young leading a large army of undead on my way here because of the appearance of an incomplete millennium river.

And the instructors said they were a little late dealing with them.

“Unfortunately, Eon Ju-yeong ran away.”

“Isn’t Breath-nim here?”

“Because not only Eon Ju-yeong but also other villains have been attacking.”

“Who is it?”

“Shadow reel…”

One of the villains who mainly uses shadows and belongs to the Blade of Dawn. And the relationship with Breath is almost like an enemy.

“Is Grandpa all right?!”

Because Shadow Lil is also a pretty strong villain, Elizabeth’s face was worried.

“Of course. Breath-sama took down the shadow reel. Thanks to that, there was no major damage to the hotel.”

Kim Yeon-ha, who lightly reassured Elizabeth, turned her eyes to the orb in my hand.

“By the way, did you guys defeat the imperfect millennium jiangshi?”

“Yes.”

“Oh. That’s amazing. If it was an imperfect millennial, it would be B rank by the Association. How did you get it?”

“I read some books on monster classification and tactics published by the association. There was an incomplete millennium poem.”

“That’s not something a freshman should see. Did you do any prior study?”

“I have to study to apply for the back-office.”

It wasn’t really a big deal, he just replied and Kim Yeon-ha laughed.

“Great. I hope you pay attention in class.”

“Ah~. Still, you answer all the questions, right?”

I’m sure he’s pointing out skill training in class, but he still gets good grades, so I’d like to just skip it.

Anyway, Kim Yeon-ha didn’t say more than that and looked at her other students.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

“But what about the survival test?”

“Eon Joo-young ran away, but the Jiangshi and the undead he brought with him still remain. And since there may be more dangerous monsters like the imperfect millennium Jiangshi, we decided to end the survival test at this moment.”

“I don’t think there’s any more risk now… Can I just do it?”

There will be no Eon Ju-young and no imperfect millennials. However, Kim Yeon-ha shook her head.

“It’s Academy policy. I don’t know if you’re a regular hero, but you’re still just cadets. You don’t have to take this risk to train, not to save people.”

She denied my words and checked the time.

“Starting from the current time, the survival test will end and be replaced with another test.”

“If it’s another test… What?”

“Eon Ju-yeong led quite a few undead. He ran away, but the undead he brought are still there. Eliminate them instead of a test.”

“Wow. The badges I’ve collected so far must be bitter.”

“Of course, I plan to give extra points to those who have collected badges so far. You guys should also return the badges you have.”

Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon, Yoo Cho-ah. When the three of them held out their badges, Kim Yeon-ha, who retrieved them, watched us for a while before grinning.

“There was a lot of hard work. And this time, neither the academy nor the association will pass over.”

That sounds nice. I handed her the orb of her imperfect millennium Jiangshi.

“I’ll take this to the Association.”

“Yes.”

“For now, let’s go back to the hotel.”

The survival test was interrupted midway and when we arrived at the hotel, the cadets were gathering.

It was past midnight and although there was quite a bit of fighting during the test, none of the cadets looked tired.

Some people were just happy, and others were just sad.

“It’s unfortunate that the survival test ended like this, but there are a lot of undead around here right now. As a person aiming for a hero, you wouldn’t want to leave it alone, right?!”

“Yes!!”

The hero’s purpose is to keep the citizens safe. As such, if there were monsters, preventing them was a priority.

Is that why? No one seemed dissatisfied with the fact that the survival test ended ahead of schedule.

“From now on, we will start defeating the undead! We will change the test to defeating the undead, so fight hard if you need extra points!!”

“Currently, drones have been deployed in each area, and information on the movement of the undead will be sent. Also, do not forget to bring your scores as by-products obtained after defeating the undead are reflected. Also, battles between cadets are prohibited. Points Don’t fight to get more.”

“Okay!”

“Then Joe… You don’t need to organize. You can move alone, or you can form a team. Over!”

The cadets moved according to the instructions of the instructors. Some try to form a team, while others try to move alone.

The people next to me didn’t move.

“Go! John!”

“There’s no need to make a separate team.”

“Yes!”

“Guys! Wouldn’t this be able to solve the request I received from the head nun?!”

Come to think of it, I decided to catch 30 undead as a condition of taking Serenia to the red dungeon.

Gangshi is also treated as an undead, and there are also undead brought by Eon Ju-yeong, so it would be better to catch them and make up the number.

By the way, where did Cheonsu Lake go? It would be nice to bring him as a party member too.

I looked around, but I couldn’t see Cheonsu Lake. Well. Has he already joined another team?

“Let’s go alone for now. We’ll have them join us when we meet later.”

To put it lightly, I went out with my colleagues. And then I heard a sharp cry from one side.

“As the executive, we have to do it right this time!! Everyone knows!”

“Yes!!”

The Executive? I turned my gaze towards it. Red haired wizard. Sung Hwa-rin, a member of the executive department, was shouting strongly to the same executive members.

“The places we need to go are from A-1 to A-3! They say there are the most undead there, so we’ll deal with them first! Let’s go!!”

With Seonghwarin’s cry, the executive members began to move quickly. Seeing this, Jin Shi-yeon smiled.

“The role of the Enforcement Department is to protect the academy and keep the cadets safe.”

“Oh… You mean they’re not bad people?”

“Well. Excluding the inclination. According to the executive director’s policy, there is a saying that the weak cannot be in the executive department, and the weak tend not to be treated as colleagues, but other than that, their purpose itself is not bad.”

Only the strong can protect it.

As its motto is, the executive department values quality more than any other club in the academy.

At Jin Shi-yeon’s explanation, Elizabeth secretly turned her eyes to me.

“Why?”

“No. I thought it would be a waste from the executive branch’s point of view.”

“I guess so. It would have been of great help if John had remained in the executive branch.”

That’s true, but it’s already happened, so what can I do?

Of course, I have no intention of going even if I ask him to go again.

“Let’s put the old things aside for now. And at the time, that was the right thing to do.”

There’s no reason to have a healer that’s hard to use properly.

It would be even more so if it was an executive branch where only the strong could work together. No complaints about it

“And since I came out of the executive branch, I was able to become close with you guys like this.”

“That’s also true. If you belong to the executive department, your academic life is busy, so it’s not easy to get along with other students.”

“Does the operation department seem to be free?”

“Anyway, that’s the way it is.”

Jin Shi-yeon, who occasionally leaves her seat because of her student council activities, responded leisurely, and then she took the sword.

“But where should we go?”

The map came to the terminal earlier. I checked the terminal.

A map centered on the hotel appeared as a hologram and information about each district was shown.

This is like a game. After catching the incomplete millennium, I was able to select the region in this way.

“Anyway, it’s better to get more points for what you’re doing, right?”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Then let’s go to area C-1. If the goal was to attack the hotel, this is also the attack route.”

Area A-1~3 selected by the enforcement department are intrusion routes, but C-1 district is also one of the intrusion routes. Area C-1 was the most difficult area in the game, so if you choose this area, you’ll get a high score.

“Okay. Is everyone ready?”

I caught the imperfect millennial and received recovery. In addition, I supplemented the recovery system while gathering. There are no special problems.

“Then let’s go right away!!”

Elizabeth, who naturally leads everyone, walks ahead. As she started to move after her, Yuchoa poked her in my side.

“But John.”

“Huh?”

“Was it cool?”

“Huh? Isn’t I originally cool?”

“I can’t tell you… No. The instructions are very precise.”

“That’s no big deal.”

It’s not really a big deal. Maybe if Elizabeth or Jin Shi-yeon were in the rear, they could have done it too.

“Because this is what the rear support is supposed to do.”

“Ahh. There must be a lot to do.”

Serenia, who belongs to the rear support like me, shook her head.

Yes. You must have a lot to do

“Because you have to move while watching everyone from behind. This is nothing compared to you guys who have to approach danger yourself or use your strength to crush enemies.”

“It’s not like that!”

“Yes. I see how much you benefit. Stop talking like that.”

Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon, who were moving in front of me, denied my words. And Yoo Choa, who was next to her, lightly poked me in the side and shook her head.

Thank you for thinking so.

“Looks like we’ll be arriving soon. Now, John. It’s possible this time too, right?”

Elizabeth asked, blinking one of her eyes and smiling enchantingly, and I nodded her head.

It’s not that hard.

“Can I ask for a big favor? Jin Si-yeon. You too. Yoo Cho-a. Send the shells right after they finish their attack.”

“Okay!! Alright!! Let’s go!!”

“Go.”

The Jiangshi Segu appeared ahead. And Skeleton Net. A powerful attack that signaled the start of the first battle erupted from Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon’s weapons.

At the same time, Yoo Choa’s shelling finishes.

Ah. Also fights well

It doesn’t disappoint expectations.
