I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

202 – Finally – 2

Azazel.

In the original, he appears as a simple NPC, but after applying the first DLC, he becomes the buffer’s teacher.

In the original, this was an essential NPC that must be met in order to see the true ending.

The story of discovering the ruins where she was was enough to make my heart beat intensely.

“But why is Azazel in the ruins?”

“Well… we don’t know the exact reason either. Because Azazel has been hiding since he first appeared.”

An angel who fell from the sky to save people.

There is only one reason why she, who disappeared after preventing the first apocalyptic test, is in the ruins. It was to prevent heavenly punishment and another apocalypse.

As scholars have said, ruins are on a different level. Since it is a place where the laws of the current world do not apply, you can avoid the pursuit of heaven and the apocalypse.

That’s why he hid in the ruins and waited there until qualified people showed up.

“There are only two conditions for entering the ruins: a maximum of eight people can enter, and they must be under the age of 23.”

Captain Oh Won-gu calmly continued his explanation. He said that he checked the conditions for entering the ruins through the records that were visible when he first entered the ruins. He switched the screen, and we were able to check the sacred characters written on the stone tablets in the large cavity.

“What does it say?”

“well…?”

“It is a sacred text that can only be read by priests who have studied it for a long time at the Vatican. It is said to be the Enochian language, the language of angels. Although it has not been completely discovered yet… still, it was possible to interpret it to some extent and understand the conditions.”

“It’s difficult.”

“It’s difficult. I don’t even know what’s in those ruins. It’s just…”

“but?”

“We received information that villains entered there and failed.”

Everyone looked surprised at Captain Oh Won-gu’s words. After all, everyone here knew how important a proper buffer was.

As such, we cannot help but understand how dangerous it is for heroes that Azazel, who helped people prevent the apocalypse in the first crisis, was almost taken away by villains.

“Did the villains also go there targeting Azazel?”

“Well, I just checked the records left by a unit of the Blade of Dawn that we captured a while ago. We haven’t figured out that part yet. But if it’s something like that… we should attack it as quickly as possible.”

The atmosphere became heavy. I don’t know where it is, and I don’t know what it is.

It would be quite worrying to have to go into such a place without doing any research.

“Because of the requirement that they be under the age of 23, we cannot send heroes who are currently active in the association. But it is fortunate.”

Oh Won-gu’s gaze landed on Yoo Cho-ah. There were many new students at this academy who were talented enough to be called divine.

Right now, not only Yoo Cho-ah, but also Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, Cheon Soo-ho, and Serenia have already reached A level, and Max and Ki Ki-yeol have also reached B level, which is almost A level.

That’s not all, student council president Ryu Se-nana and former executive director Joo Se-hee were also promoted to Class A and were active.

“Perhaps the reason Azazel is in the ruins is because he expected the current situation.”

“Umm…”

Yoo Cho-ah groaned and nodded, and Captain Oh Won-gu calmly continued talking to her.

“Currently, the cadet most recognized by the association is Yoo Cho-ah. You are.”

“Ah. Ahaha. Why me…”

“Because you’ve fought a lot of villains so far. There are probably a lot of people who think you’re important.”

“I think Yohan might be better than me…”

“Well, there are people who think that way. There are also people who say Elizabeth or Jin Si-yeon are better.”

Captain Oh Won-gu shook his head indifferently.

“You guys are close anyway, so I hope you think carefully and decide on the number of people who will go to the ruins.”

“Huh? Has it been decided that we should go?”

“You don’t want to go? If that’s the case…”

“Now, wait a minute!”

She stopped Captain Oh Won-gu and looked at me. Are you leaving the decision up to me?

“let’s go.”

Then there is no need to think. I have to go. Haven’t you worked so hard for this moment?

So you have to go.

“It might be dangerous…?”

“We’ve overcome danger well so far, right? We can do it.”

I held Yu Choa’s hand, and she thought for a moment and nodded.

“Can I decide the number of participants?”

“Okay. Once the number of people is decided, let me know by tomorrow.”

After speaking briefly, he left the conference room, and Yoo Cho-ah, who was sitting, nodded and stood up.

“Let’s come back first.”

As soon as she returned to the academy, Yoo Cho-ah called out the strong people she knew. Of course, the strong people she knew were the only ones I knew.

Soo-ho Cheon, Elizabeth, Si-yeon Jin, Chairman Sena Ryu, and finally me.

You can take up to 8 people in total, so it would be okay to add just 2 more people. Thinking this, she sighed after telling the story she had heard from Captain Oh Won-gu earlier.

“Honestly, it won’t be easy to conquer those ruins. The villains also tried to conquer them but failed. So… if you think it will be difficult, you can refuse.”

“hmm…”

Ryu Sena moaned at her words. Yu Choa smiled bitterly at that reaction.

“Are you having a hard time, Chairman?”

“I guess so. Third-year students often vacate the academy during the second semester. You said villains were targeting the ruins, right?”

“yes.”

“I see… They probably know the entry conditions… They might try to prevent many powerful people from going there by threatening the academy.”

In other words, it is difficult for the student council to participate because it has to protect the academy.

She’s not wrong. When I went to the ruins for the true ending, the area around the academy was attacked.

If you are a member of the student council, you will automatically be in charge of protecting the academy, so I have not joined the student council until now.

“Huh? Then it’s impossible to demonstrate?”

Yoo Cho-ah looked at Jin Si-yeon with a frustrated expression, and Jin Si-yeon also seemed embarrassed.

“Hmm. From my perspective, I wish you would stay, but… Jin Si-yeon. What do you want to do?”

“I am…”

She looked at me briefly and then took my hand under the table.

“I want to participate in the ruins raid.”

“I see… Phew. I understand. Joo Se-hee is also cooperative these days… And I guess I’ll have to request more people from the association.”

“Are you okay?”

“It may be difficult, but there is nothing we can do.”

“Then I guess I should ask the heroes I know.”

“I know a lot about heroes, so there’s no need to do that. But I’m sorry I can’t participate.”

Yoo Cho-ah smiled brightly and shook her head at Chairman Ryu Sena’s sincere apology.

Protecting the Academy is also important, so we cannot criticize her for not attending.

“Then the others…”

“I should go. There might be an elixir there.”

“I will participate too.”

“me too!”

“I guess I should go too.”

Soo-ho Cheon, Serenia, Elizabeth, Si-yeon Jin. Four people chose to participate.

And when the remaining gaze fell on me, I nodded.

“I’m going too.”

“Oh… So there are two left? Who should I take?”

Ultimately, you have to take the people from the academy with you. After thinking for a moment, Yu Choa quickly turned her head.

huh? why?

“John!”

“uh?”

“The two remaining starters. Can I leave it to you?”

“That doesn’t matter… Don’t you have wider feet than me?”

It is called a human capybara and is friendly with many people. That’s why I wonder if there’s a need to leave it up to me when her connections are greater than mine.

“Hmm. That’s true, but you’ll be giving overall instructions when conquering the ruins, right? In that case, I think it would be better to hire people who suit your tastes…”

“Hmmmm…”

That’s definitely true. hmm. then…”

“It would be better to take Ki Ki-yeol and Max with you. I will talk to them.”

A healer is essential for conquering the ruins. This is not to ignore Serenia.

However, if there are two healers, it will take more time to attack, but the risk will be greatly reduced. And although Max doesn’t have enough contribution to get promoted, it’s safe to say that his skills are level A, so it’s worth recommending.

“Yes! Then…”

“Leave it to me to protect the academy.”

When the meeting ended briefly, Cheon Soo-ho, Serenia, and Ryu Sena left, saying they had some business to attend to.

“Well, we have some time left… what should we do now?”

“I have to do something, right? Choya. What’s with that look?”

“Ugh. We have some time left, should we go on a date?”

Elizabeth immediately caught her as she smiled mischievously and tried to cling to me.

“That’s nice, but we have to go to the ruins, right? Training comes first!”

“Ugh…”

“Yes. I need to train myself a little more. That way…”

Jin Si-yeon stood up and looked at me, as if she agreed with Elizabeth’s opinion.

“Because it will make John feel better.”

As someone who has to lead the whole team, I definitely feel more comfortable if each individual becomes stronger.

“Let’s go on a date after training is over. I also have to meet Max and Ki Ki-yeon.”

“oooh… okay. It’s a promise!”

“I have a promise too!”

“…You’re not the only one leaving me out, right?!”

Do you really think so?!
