I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy



201 – Finally – 1

Who is Joo Se-hee, the executive director? He is capable of becoming an A-level hero as soon as he graduates.

He has performed his duties well as a leader of a group. So much so that he could even aim for the position of student council president.

A person in that position gave up everything and went down in one day.

The academy cadets judged that the student council would be greatly shaken by the result, which was difficult for anyone to understand.

However, there was no major confusion even after a few days.

This was because the student council president, Ryu Se-na, was not an ordinary person, and Joo Se-hee stepped down and handed over the situation properly.

Because the Vice-Chairman of the Executive Department was promoted to Acting Manager, and the duties previously held by the Executive Department were transferred to the Operations Department, and the authority of the Executive Department was reduced, the confusion in the Student Council could not have been so great.

“It’s amazing.”

A few days after the executive director resigned and became an executive member, Jin Si-yeon, who had lunch together for the first time since the incident, spoke with a tired face.

Yoo Cho-ah, who thought that she, a member of the Student Council Management Department, would know the truth, contrary to the rumors that are currently known, asked her with sparkling eyes as she munched on her rice.

“What is it? What is it? Why did the executive director step down?”

“I don’t know for sure. However, I heard that the day before the executive director stepped down, he met with someone and negotiated a deal with the student council president.”

“Who? Who is that?”

Someone was swallowing ramen noodles. After cutting the hamburger steak that Elizabeth shared with chopsticks, I swallowed the noodles in my mouth, took a sip of the soup, and took a bite of the hamburger steak.

ah. As expected, the ramen set meal at the student cafeteria is amazing. The broth is thick and the ingredients are plentiful… I think I will no longer be able to eat ramen other than the ramen set meal here.

“Well… the executive director. No, Joo Se-hee said he wasn’t talking about it either. The chairman didn’t say anything special either.”

Jin Si-yeon let out a small sigh and put some side dishes on my plate.

“By the way, have you heard the news? I heard that the Association discovered some mysterious relics this time.”

It is said that the association, in cooperation with the Vatican, discovered a relic. Considering the time period, there was a high possibility that the ruins were the ruins where Azazel was located. If that’s the case, I’ll be contacting Yoo Cho-ah in the near future.

-Ring!

“…Huh? This is Captain Oh Won-gu.”

Yoo Cho-ah smiled shyly at us as if she was sorry and picked up the terminal.

“Yes. Yes. Yes?! Ah. Yes. Yes. Okay.”

The call ended simply. What on earth did you say that made you say yes and yes like that?

“You’re coming to the association later?”

“why?”

Yu Choa shook her head at Elizabeth, who looked puzzled. The call now would be to say that the ruins where Azazel is located have been discovered and that Yoo Cho-ah should select people to go to the ruins.

“Do you want to go together later?”

“is it so!”

“I passed. I have training later.”

Cheon Su-ho, who was chewing and swallowing a large piece of meat, shook his head. This guy must have been quite shocked when he failed the black dungeon strategy selection test last time, and has been training properly these days.

So why are you taking me…

“Then, Johan. What about you?”

“Um… I don’t mind either.”

Skill training can be done as you go. The only one left is Jin Si-yeon. She seemed to think for a moment and then fiddled with the terminal. And after a while, he nodded.

“Yeah. I guess I’ll be fine. The student council said there’s no meeting today.”

“If you’re just going because you’re busy…”

“No. No. I’ve done enough. The chairman will take care of the rest.”

“Okay. We’ll take care of it.”

It’s a surprise. I turned my head when I heard a voice from behind me. I don’t know when we arrived, but President Ryu Sena was standing behind us.

“Wow! Chairman! Are you okay?!”

His face looked quite tired. She, who had quite a bit of dark circles, yawned lightly and nodded.

“It’s much better than conquering the black dungeon. Well, that’s it…”

She handed the material she was holding to Yoo Cho-ah. When she tilted her head after receiving it, Ryu Sena said indifferently.

“This is the information I promised you before. Because Joo Se-hee has stepped down and the position of student council president has become safe.”

“Ah! But I didn’t help you with anything!”

“It’s enough that we worked together in the black dungeon. And take this too. It’s a letter of recommendation. With this, the association will be able to check additional information.”

Now that the strong competitor named Joo Se-hee has disappeared, there will be no member of the student council who can surpass Ryu Sena, one of the heroes who conquered the black dungeon.

Of course, Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah. I don’t know if I go over to the executive branch, but that won’t happen.

“It looks like I’m going to be quite busy from now on. Starting from the second semester, I’ll start killing villains and monsters in earnest.”

“Does the student council do something like that?”

“It’s important to protect the academy, but it’s also important to help people, especially in the second semester.”

Because graduation is getting closer. Third-year students will participate in dungeons and defeat monsters and villains in order to accumulate more contributions than usual, and first- and second-year students will become even busier to fill in the gaps.

That’s why you shouldn’t join the student council. This is because in the second semester, the student council schedule takes priority, making it difficult to explore ruins that require leaving the academy for a long period of time.

“Anyway, you guys. Do you want to join the student council? We’ve been busy lately, so we’re short on manpower…”

ah. I don’t do it. I will not.

When lunch time was over, we headed to the classroom. Yoo Cho-ah was upset about breaking up with me and whined, but what can I do? In the end, I saw her off as she headed to class, looking sullen, and it was time for us to go in as well.

“…Director of the Executive Department.”

“It’s before.”

There was a person standing in front of our classroom who had turned the academy upside down. Joo Se-hee. It was a woman who was the former executive director and current executive member.

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“John…”

“Are you okay? Do you want me to go with you?”

“I think it’ll be okay. I’ll be in soon, so go in first.”

After sending away the two who were still wary of Joo Se-hee, I headed to the rooftop with her. There was no one on the rooftop, and when she confirmed that, she continued speaking in a calm tone.

“I thought you might be curious as to why I left the position of Executive Director.”

“I’m not really curious because I think I know the basics, but I’m willing to listen if you want to tell me.”

“Ha. Okay…”

She closed her mouth for a moment, stared at me for a moment, then shrugged.

“I thought the way the president was leading was wrong.”

Thorough control and management. With this, only the strong among the students are brought out and the weak are pushed out.

In this way, we cultivate stronger heroes and save people.

That was the method that Joo Se-hee thought was right.

“But… when I took a step back and thought about it, I saw something else. There are cases like you right now… Among those who were evaluated as untalented, there could also have been people with the chronic plastic surgery type.”

Although growth is slow in the beginning, this does not mean that there are those who grow explosively in the middle and latter stages.

And such people cannot be raised using Joo Se-hee’s methods. Only those who grow stably will be strong enough to match Joo Se-hee’s methods.

“I guess there isn’t just one way. Yes, just like you defeated Baphomet with the method you chose.”

The Wind Blows. Joo Se-hee, who had been accepting the wind head-on, slowly turned her head.

“My choice and my method were wrong.”

“Rather than saying it’s wrong, it’s probably something else.”

“Is that so? Well… it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the important thing is that this time, I plan to step back and calmly review the results of what I did, and try to undo the things that I thought were wrong that can be reversed. Well, I don’t know how much it will take.”

“I see.”

In any case, it is not a bad thing that Joo Se-hee wants to give up his position as student council president. This means that there will be no unnecessary friction or disturbance.

“So, are you planning on coming back to the student council?”

“I don’t have any.”

“is it.”

For the first time, a wry smile appeared on her expressionless face. As I was facing it, I shrugged and turned around.

“Is that all you have to say?”

“okay.”

“Then since the answer is finished, we can go, right?”

“Ha…yeah.”

Her voice, sighing briefly, reached my ears as I was about to leave the rooftop.

“For the first time, I regret my choice.”

They say it’s always too late to regret, right?

Instead of responding to her self-talking lines, I just went back to class.

“let’s go!!”

When I came down after class, Yoo Cho-ah was waiting for me. Her, and even Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon.

A total of four people went to the association.

“Can we go too?”

“Huh? Yeah! It’s okay! You said you can bring anyone!”

Yoo Cho-ah smiled brightly and walked into the middle of Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon and linked arms with them.

“Come on! Let’s go! Let’s go!”

Her steps seem light, perhaps because of her seemingly happy mood. When I arrived at the association and entered the conference room I had previously been in, I saw Captain Oh Won-gu drinking coffee.

“Oh. The heroes of humanity have arrived.”

“Ehehe~!”

“That’s too much praise! Ohhohoho!!”

“Hmm… I’m a little embarrassed.”

Yuchoa is so happy and Elizabeth is always confident. Jin Si-yeon looks embarrassed.

Captain Oh Won-gu smiled at them as they showed different reactions, invited us to take a seat, and then pointed to the screen.

Light came onto the black screen, and a picture appeared.

“…What is this?”

The voice was not as bright as before. He spoke in a serious tone to Yoo Cho-ah’s question, which was full of curiosity and doubt.

“In the judgment of the Vatican and ourselves…”

“…..”

“This is a ruin where Azazel is believed to be located.”

Finally!

Finally!!
