I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

206 – To deal with the apocalypse – 2

As soon as I came out of the ruins, the entrance to the ruins began to collapse.

Captain Oh Won-gu, who was waiting for us outside, sighed softly after seeing me come out.

“What happened inside?”

“Others need to hear it too, so let’s go to the association first.”

He nodded at what I said, and we left the cleaning up to the others and headed to the association.

When we arrived at the association, I showed the recorded video, and Captain Oh Won-gu, who heard everything that happened there, spoke with a serious expression.

“Angels and demons… this is so true. I never thought something like something out of a story would happen.”

“The end is coming, and that is not wrong. Anyway, the important thing is that the end will come now.

In the past, humanity passed two tests. The first test was completed with Azazel’s help, but the second test could be prevented without her help.

So what about the remaining exams?

“If you think about the difference in difficulty between the first and second tests… the third test will be stronger than any enemy we have faced so far.”

Yes. After fighting the blue bird that brings about the apocalypse, we must fight and win against the apocalypse itself.

Captain Oh Won-gu continued to look at the screen and tilted his head.

“But why didn’t I hear about how to delay the apocalypse?”

“I didn’t think there was any need to listen to it. We could easily win against the apocalypse.”

“Still, there’s something to be said…”

Captain Oh Won-gu looked disappointed, but I shook my head. Finally, he sighed and asked me.

“By the way, changing your aptitude to enhanced means… does that mean you can fight like Azazel?”

“You can think of it that way. If you meet Azazel and hand over the necessary materials to learn skills that only she can use, you will be able to give her a stronger buff than now.”

Captain Oh Won-gu seemed satisfied with my answer. And he held out his hand to me.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I want to check out those feathers.”

“Of course.”

I held out the angel feather, and Captain Oh Won-gu, who received it, looked around and pressed the terminal. How much time has passed since then?

The door to the conference room opened and an old man came inside.

“Bishop Peter!”

“Haha… did you have a good time?”

It was Bishop Peter, who had previously visited the Black Dungeon together. He came in with a gentle smile, saw the feather of light, and asked curiously.

“What is this?”

“This is a feather that the angel Azazel had.”

“Hmm… Oh… This is amazing. It contains considerable divine power.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. It is stronger than our sacred power. It is amazing.”

He touched the feather as if he was jealous, but did not ask for it. After placing it on Captain Oh Won-gu’s hand again, he looked at Serenia with a gentle expression and asked.

“Sister Serenia. What did you think of Azazel?”

“It didn’t seem like he was an evil person. And there didn’t seem to be any hostility.”

“Is that so… I also wanted to meet you in person… but it turned out to be a shame.”

“John. If you use the angel feather that Azazel gave you to use the next time you visit, wouldn’t Bishop Peter be able to meet Azazel as well?”

That’s not it. Because only those who have permission can enter the sanctuary of the soul.

The angel’s feather is merely a medium to enter the sanctum of the soul, not a qualification. In other words, having this did not mean that you could enter the soul sanctuary where Azazel was.

“Would you like to try it out?”

“That’s good.”

It is said that there is a dungeon not far away. So we headed there, and Bishop Peter went inside holding an angel feather and came out right away.

“…It’s a pity. It wasn’t possible.”

“Is that so? So that means Azazel can only meet Johan.”

Other heroes, including Captain Oh Won-gu, were also tested several times, but none were successful. Everyone was perplexed, but what could they do? What cannot be done cannot be done.

“Phew. Yes. Anyway, you had a hard time. And Johan, you should learn as much as possible from Azazel… If you need anything, come visit us at any time.”

“All right.”

Are you saying the association will provide help? This is convenient. I already needed a lot of materials and energy cores to learn the skills.

“Then… I think it would be best to return first.”

There isn’t anything you can do right now. Therefore, Captain Oh Won-gu announced the disbandment and we returned to the academy for now.

“Umm… you all had a hard time! How about we go to the after party and take a rest?”

I skipped my academic schedule and went to the ruins, so I had some time left. The academic schedule would probably resume the day after tomorrow, so the remaining time was no different from rest.

“That’s great!! After-party! The best! After-party! The best!”

Serenia, who was dancing happily, looked at those who were silent and shouted.

“Come on! You guys shout out that the after-party is the best!”

If I say I won’t go, I’ll get really upset. When we smiled at her and were about to leave, Ki Ki-yeol shook his head.

“Please leave me alone. I have to go see my younger siblings.”

“Me too. I have something to do with my girlfriend.”

Not only Ki-jun Yeol but also Max is missing. Serenia became sullen when she heard that the two were leaving, but she couldn’t stop them.

Normally, forcing people to participate in something like this would only dull the atmosphere.

“Is it okay for people who are dating there?”

“Hmm? Aren’t you going to Hyejeong’s store? If you don’t go there, I won’t go either.”

Cheon Soo-ho must have been worried about his lover. Well, right now, all he can see is Elixir and his girlfriend. I didn’t get to meet her while I was visiting the ruins to find Azazel, so I’m sure I’ll miss her.

“I do not care!”

At Serenia’s bright answer, I looked at the others. Elizabeth, Yoo Cho-ah, and Jin Si-yeon didn’t seem to have any complaints.

“Then let’s go there.”

Fortunately, there were no seizures while Cheon Soo-ho was away. But the pale complexion still remains.

Cheon Soo-ho, who approached her and secretly used Pain Drain, glanced at me, and I gave him a sprint.

“Are you okay?”

“This is nothing.”

He’s a man. I patted him on the back and then winked at Serenia. While she was quickly using heels, Elizabeth, Yoo Cho-ah, and Jin Si-yeon took Hye-jeong inside.

“What should I do if I can’t get the elixir this time?”

“Ha. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

As Serenia, who used heels, went inside, Cheon Soo-ho leaned back against the wall and cupped his face. Even as he says it, he seems nervous.

“Don’t worry. It will be soon.”

“Yeah… hey. But if you get stronger, you can go to more difficult ruins, right?”

Probably so. Just changing the aptitude to strengthening increases the effectiveness of the buff. And it will be even more so if you change the skills.

What can be changed immediately is ‘multiple reinforcement’, which integrates multiple types of buffs into one, and Diamond Sutra and Holy Spirit’s Blessing can also be changed to higher level skills.

Then, even if you go to a more difficult ruin, you will be able to conquer it without difficulty.

“I know a few ruins. Maybe I can get some elixir there.”

It is now possible to attack ruins that would have been literally hit in the past. Obtaining elixir would not be impossible. You can also get elixir from the ruins where you have to go according to my plan.

“Ha. I hope I get it.”

Cheon Soo-ho let out a sigh as if the ground was sinking. After patting him on the shoulder, I went inside with him.

When I went inside, the meal was already ready. Serenia was making wheat, as if she wanted to run from the start. How much does he have to drink again?

“Welcome! Welcome!”

Smiling happily, Serenia moved the rolled wheat to Cheonsuho’s seat and stood up with her cup in hand.

“Okay! Congratulations on successfully conquering the ruins!!”

I’m so excited. I smiled and said to her who downed a glass of somae in one go.

“You drink like that and you get hooked.”

“Because you drink alcohol to get drunk in the first place! Come on! Let’s run today!”

It seems that when she returns, she will be robbed by the head nun.

If it was fun, it was fun, and if it was lively, the company dinner was lively. Maybe it’s because I drank too much, but I feel a little dizzy. As I sat outside to get some fresh air, I heard footsteps behind me.

“Fuck you!”

A sweet scent tickled my nose along with the nice, soft, soft feel of my back. Beautiful orange hair tickles my face.

“Ehehe~. Good~.”

Yoo Cho-ah was rubbing her face against mine, her face flushed, perhaps because of the alcohol.

“Why did you come out?”

“I’m going to sober up for a moment. Whoa. I guess I drank too much.”

Well, I drank flatfish every week as Serenia gave me. While she was fanning her hands to cool her flushed face, she naturally sat down next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder.

“Hmm~. It’s nice to be like this~.”

“Then it’s okay if you keep doing that.”

“Oh?! How did you become so obedient? Huh? Huh?”

She was enjoying poking my cheek and ended up lying down on the bench. She casually cut my thigh, looked up at me with a smile, and stretched out her hand.

Then, while stroking my cheek, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Azazel.”

“huh?”

“Azazel… what he was trying to say. Did you know what it was?”

“what?”

“…how to postpone the end.”

“…Hmm. No.”

Actually, it’s a lie.

I knew what she was talking about. But you don’t need to know that. Because if there is a corner to escape to, people want to run away.

It is impossible to know how people will react in the face of the great danger of the apocalypse. In that case, we have no choice but to block the possibility itself.

I smiled and stroked Yoo Cho-ah’s head.

okay.

She doesn’t need to know.

What Azazel was trying to teach was nothing more than delaying the end by sacrificing Yuchoa’s zero power.
