I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

212 – There is no problem – 4

As the team members approached, Yoo Cho-ah smiled slyly. It looks like they’re trying to play some kind of prank again.

As soon as Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon came to the front, she put her arm around me and said,

“Hehe. What do you think? There were other kids who wanted to take you with them.”

“Did you?”

“Well… Anyway, Johan is a buffer. The power you have is easy to use anywhere, so it has to be that way.”

Actually, Buffer has always been on the recruiting side. I nodded and looked around at my teammates.

“It seems like the people who always go together have become a team.”

“It’s not a bad thing, is it?”

That’s right. There is no problem with their skills, and their relationship is not bad. Cheon Soo-ho, who was watching us with his arms crossed, tapped my shoulder.

“But aren’t we focusing too much on physical attacks?”

“Well… that can’t be helped.”

It’s a pity that there is no wizard, but let’s try to solve that problem somehow with elemental attacks.

Anyway, the team was formed. Instructor Yang Jun, who was calmly examining the composition of the five teams, told them to select a team leader for each team.

He’s the team leader.

“Elizabeth would be better, right?”

“Or Cheon Su-ho?”

Cho-ah Yoo was the one who selected the team members, but if you think about it overall, it would be better for Elizabeth or Cheon Su-ho to be the leader.

Of course, when it comes to giving orders, it would be better for me to be in the back, but I’m not good at leading as a leader.

Shouldn’t it be the people fighting in front who can give strength and courage to everyone? Even if someone who only buffs you behind your back talks about it, you won’t be able to empathize with it.

“Ohhohoho!! If you leave it to me, I will work hard!!”

“Heh. After all, a leader must be dependable.”

Elizabeth and Cheon Soo-ho took a step forward and glared at each other. After their spark-like snowball fight, they raise their weapons against each other.

I wish we wouldn’t fight over something like this.

“Just decide with rock, paper, scissors.”

Only after Jin Si-yeon, who was not interested in being a leader, said something, did the two begin playing rock-paper-scissors. After several draws, the decision was made…

“Hahahaha!! Heaven has chosen!!”

Cheon Soo-ho became the leader. okay. I’m sure you’ll do well because you’re reliable. As a leader, I want you to fight well in front.

“It’s a shame…”

Defeated, Elizabeth approached me with a slightly sullen expression. And then he gently held my hand and his eyes lit up.

“Will you comfort me? How about having dinner together tonight?”

“Woah! Do not attack suddenly!”

“I agree too. Let’s not do it in such a shameful way.”

“…Tsk.”

Elizabeth clicked her tongue and let go of my hand as the two grumbled that they had no time to let down their guard. Meanwhile, Cheon Soo-ho, who was boasting that he would do well as a leader in the future, approached Instructor Yang Jun, who called out the leader.

“But even if I tell you to fight the villains… I don’t know what to do. Hey, Yohan. Do you know anything?”

“Well…”

In Hero Academia, when this event occurs, the villains’ gathering place or base will be attacked in earnest.

Of course, similar to dungeons, there are easy places and difficult places.

When you raid difficult places, there are high-rank villains, and you can get good equipment by defeating them.

Of course, if you lose, it’s game over.

Since it was the association that provided the location, it was necessary to maintain a certain level of friendship with the association.

There is no need for us to be particularly worried now. In the meantime, I’ve been constantly going through dungeons, catching monsters, and making deals with the association, and in the process, I’ve raised my trust.

After a while, Cheon Soo-ho, who had finished talking with instructor Yang Jun, returned to us. He looked at me after telling me that I needed to get information from the association in order to fight the villains in earnest.

“why?”

“No. I think you and Yu Choa are quite close to the association. You went to the ruins with Captain Oh Won-gu, right?”

“Of course.”

“So we can attack right away?”

“Maybe so.”

“Okay. Then let’s go right away.”

Listening to Cheon Soo-ho’s story, there were people on other teams who said that they had to kill wandering villains or monsters wandering the dungeon because they had not yet raised their intimacy to the required level.

Tsk tsk. It must be hard.

So, you should have been running dungeons hard and networking on a regular basis.

“Even if you become a team to defeat villains, I hope you don’t forget that you are still cadets.”

In other words, you have to live a bachelor’s life as well. After saying that it would be quite busy after class, Instructor Yangjun announced the disbandment and we headed straight to the association.

As soon as I arrived at the association, which I was now accustomed to, I contacted Captain Oh Won-gu. Perhaps because we had already heard the story, we were able to go straight into his room.

“Welcome. When I heard that the Academy was providing support, I thought you would come… Haha. I’m so happy to see you like this.”

“Where should I hit?”

“You all have experience fighting villains, right? Then there’s no need for any special additional training… First, I want to see how far you can go.”

He immediately operated the remote control. Then, three locations appear on the screen projected on the wall.

“It is a gathering place for villains near Namyangju. It is a place where B and C-class villains, centered around the A-class villain Jakdu, often gather. And this is also the place where the A-class villain Matan Gunner has made his base. Also, here. ..”

He closed his mouth for a moment and nodded.

“It is believed to be the branch of the Blade of Dawn.”

Blade of Dawn. A group of villains related to the blue bird that brings about the apocalypse. Yoo Cho-ah’s eyes lit up when she heard about their branch, which was growing rapidly in popularity recently.

“So, Yuchoa. I heard you were often attacked by the Blade of Dawn?”

“Yes. I did the same a few days ago. I think I have a chance to repay you this time.”

“Who is the leader? These decisions are made by the leader, so I will leave it to you to make the choice.”

Cheon Soo-ho did not hesitate when told that he had to choose one of the three.

“I will attack the Blade of Dawn.”

Yoo Cho-ah and Cheon Su-ho are in the same class. In other words, the story goes that Cheon Soo-ho was also with her when she was attacked. In the meantime, I had no choice but to be attacked, but now the story is different, so I can be happy.

“Can we do it with just us?”

Revenge is good, but it should be done when possible. Captain Oh Won-gu nodded at Elizabeth’s worried voice.

“Of course, there will be support from the association as well. Are you sure you are the only ones sending?”

If so, I’m relieved. Captain Oh Won-gu presented us with a hero unit that agreed to provide support. The heroes under Captain Oh Won-gu were lined up with skilled B-level heroes.

“You may be high in rank, but these guys are experts at fighting villains. Let’s learn their fighting methods.”

“yes!!”

“Then shall we leave right away? Or do we need some time?”

There is no class today, so you can go right away. Cheon Soo-ho must have had the same thought as he looked around at us and nodded.

“I’ll leave right away.”

“Um, okay. Let’s get the troops ready right away. If you have anything to prepare, then come out.”

The association told us to purchase the necessary equipment and supplies, so we immediately packed the necessary items. When I went outside with items such as condition recovery medicine, healing potions, and armor, about 20 heroes were waiting for me.

“Hmm? You guys…”

“Huh?! See you here?!”

It was Kang Jin-ho, nicknamed Swift, whom I had met at the research center before. A skilled B-class hero, he smiled heartily when he saw us.

“Hey~! I’ve heard a lot about your achievements. Isn’t this amazing?! You’ve already climbed to such a high place. Ah. Is it okay if I speak in peace?”

“Haha. Of course.”

He smiled kindly and lightly patted the shoulders of me, Yoo Cho-ah, and Cheon Su-ho before looking back.

“I am the one leading them. Although we are seniors, you are of higher rank, so we will receive a lot of help from you. Do you know where we need to go this time?”

“Yes. I heard that it is a branch of the Blade of Dawn.”

“Well, those guys are strong… so you’ll have to prepare your mind. Now, are you ready?”

We nodded to his question. My heart is pounding because I am about to begin the main story in earnest. Jin Si-yeon noticed me and gently held my hand.

“Don’t worry. I have you.”

That’s very reassuring.

After completing the final inspection, we headed to the gate.

How far did it take to get through the gate to Gangwon-do and drive by car?

An abandoned factory area was visible in the distance.

“Is that that place?”

“Well, based on what we know right now, yes. And… be careful.”

Kang Jin-ho lightly clenched his fist and then pulled out a trap detection device. At the same time, an emergency sound began to sound. It was an indication that quite a few traps had been laid around.

“Because this is a more dangerous place than the dungeon.”

I guess so. and.

“It’s also a place where you can get more than the dungeon, right?”

“Haha… That’s right. This is true. The courage of the new recruits is really amazing, isn’t it?”

He grinned and showed the map. There are two entrances. These are the front and back doors.

“We’ll attack from the front door first, so I think it would be better for you to rush in through the back door. Or should we do the opposite?”

“If we rush in through the back door, we’ll fight strong guys, right?”

“It’s probably very likely.”

If so, there is no need to decline.
