I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

31 – Where Memories Are – 4

“Today’s class is about hallucinations.”

As soon as I opened the door and came in, Kim Yeon-ha said calmly and the classroom was noisy.

“There were people who said they were in a state of confusion when they went to catch the monster.”

Ah. Are they?

Still, there was talk about whether the hunting club was overdoing it because of it.

Of course, even if it wasn’t that dangerous if you discovered it in a short period of time, the academy would have been terrified.

“That’s why the academic schedule was pushed back a bit. Well, it was planned to be implemented in the near future anyway.”

She spoke lightly and quickly wrote down her thoughts on the blackboard.

“In general, hallucinations can often be seen when you are in a state of confusion. Especially among D-class monsters and higher, there are many monsters that induce a state of confusion, and from B-class and above, if you do not have enough skills, you can become confused just by facing them. It may fall out.”

Are you talking about falling into an incapacitated state when facing an overwhelmingly strong enemy?

It was the same in the game. When faced with an excessively strong monster up close, there were cases where he faced the fear of death and fell into a state of confusion, or gave up in desperation.

“I don’t intend to teach you how to deal with an overwhelmingly strong enemy… But still, it’s better to learn how to deal with monsters that cause confusion. Now, Kim Yohan.”

Is it me again?

Of course I said I was training my skills, but it seems like I’m the only one pointing it out every time.

“Come out.”

“Yes.”

If you want to, you should.

I quietly stepped forward and stood there with everyone’s eyes on me. Kim Yeon-ha smiled at me and stretched out her hand.

“Among those who can use magic, there are quite a few villains who use ‘Confuse’. Depending on whether you can resist this or not, the way you deal with the villains is divided. I’ll try weakly, so be nervous.”

“Okay.”

She took a deep breath and cleared her mind. And after a while

“… Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Why don’t you take it?”

Ah. Is it because the skill you were training earlier is the shadow of twilight? It seems that the weakly written Confuse didn’t take effect because the status ailment resistance increased.

“Ha ha ha…”

“Well, maybe I’ll bet a little harder.”

She lightly snapped her fingers, and at that moment something appeared before her eyes.

Damn it.

A blue bird calling the apocalypse that appeared in the sky.

The giant moonlight magic beast behind the blue bird.

“Ugh…”

I couldn’t help but gnash my teeth at that gaze looking down at me as if I was looking at insignificant dust.

I can’t do anything.

Everyone I know lying around.

As a buffer at best, there was nothing I could do.

“Wow!!”

This is an illusion.

This is an illusion.

This is wrong.

That’s why I stamped my feet as hard as I could and hit my chest, and at that moment my vision turned black.

“Huh… Heh…”

Hard to breathe.

My heart is beating and my eyes are turning white.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes… I feel like throwing up, but I’m fine.”

“Yes. If you get confused like this, even if you recover, it will be difficult to engage in battle right away. Now, applaud John for his hard work.”

– Clap clap clap!!

I went back to my seat listening to the applause of the cadets. When she came back, her legs were wobbly but barely kept from falling, Elizabeth asked, looking at me with concern.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes…”

Shadow of Twilight I need to train hard.

“Okay. Come out as I am called.”

Still, I’m not the only one suffering, so should I say it’s fortunate?

The class ended with all the cadets getting confused once in a while.

The guys caught in the middle of the confusion ran rampant, but what are you worried about with Kim Yeon-ha next to you?

Simply suppressing and clearing up the confusion, she grinned at us who were haggard.

Are you laughing…

“Submit a report on how to resist chaos. And… In this class, additional points will be given to cadets who have withstood stage 2 or more chaos. Kim Yo-han, Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, Max…”

A few others.

About half survived the first level of chaos. I’m sure the kids are good at it.

“And I’m going to practice next week.”

It’s similar to the artificial dungeon exploration I did last time. This time, the kids who were tired of hearing that we were going in without the seniors, their eyes lit up.

Of course me too. If you clear this, you will receive a reward.

What and how much will you give me if I go this time?

I’m going to a place with a higher grade, so they’ll take good care of me, right?

“The dungeon we are going to this time is the Suwon dungeon. The grade is green dungeon… It’s not as easy as the last time, so everyone be on your toes. And there are a total of 4 team members. Make your own report.”

“Yes!”

“Then take the rest of the classes well.”

As soon as Kim Yeon-ha left, she had cadets coming this way.

You can clearly see what everyone is thinking with high expectations.

“Elizabeth!”

“Let’s do it together! Huh?!”

“I’ll buy you dinner!”

The last time I asked to train with you, the things I ignored…

Elizabeth smiled broadly at their enthusiastic proposal.

“Hmm. I think I need a little time! Give me some time to think!”

“Ah. Then there’s nothing you can do about it. But I want you to know that we are always waiting for you!”

As the crowd of cadets slipped away, I saw Elizabeth. She kept her mouth shut as if she was thinking about something. Could it be because of my gaze? She turned her head towards me.

“You want to join me too?!”

It’s me, of course. Because I can use my abilities properly only when I have good colleagues.

“I can’t say no.”

“Oh ho ho! Then let’s train together today!”

That’s what you do every day.

It was around sunset when I came out from training with Elizabeth. She wished they had dinner together, but Elizabeth is going to slay monsters with the Taylor family’s heroes again tonight.

“I’m busy.”

“Still, this is what nobles have to do! It’s hard, but it’s rewarding!”

“Yeah, but I hope you don’t get hurt.”

“Uhuhuhu! Don’t worry too much! Not only the Taylor family but also the Jin family have decided to come.”

“Huh?”

If you are Jinga, is it Jinsiyeon?

Why are you there?

“Are you done training now?”

I can’t be a nobleman. Jin Shi-yeon, who had walked around carrying her sword, looked at Elizabeth and me alternately, then shook her head.

“You’re not going to take him with you, are you?”

“It can’t be.”

“Where are you going, why don’t you take me with you?”

“Uijeongbu side.”

The Uijeongbu area is currently a restricted area. It was a place where a large-scale dungeon occurred, active heroes were subjugating monsters, and the association was watching.

Even in the game, you had to go through the first semester to get there.

“Aren’t you in danger?”

“I can’t say no, but it’ll bounce anyway.”

Jin Shi-yeon said slyly, and Elizabeth smiled bitterly at her.

Okay. Neither is likely to jump out as dangerous in nature.

“Don’t worry too much. We’re not going inside.”

On the outskirts of Uijeongbu. He was going to clean up the places where relatively weak monsters appeared.

I looked at Elizabeth, and she also nodded her head slightly, as if feeling sorry for her.

“Can I go too?”

I think you can get a lot of practical experience there.

“Can you?”

With a smile, Jin Shi-yeon flatly refused, and Elizabeth held my hand.

Her expression was full of worry.

“John. Your presence would be of great help… But it’s dangerous and you can’t enter without permission. Next time. When John gets permission, I’ll go in then.”

“Permission?”

“Permission to enter the dungeon.”

Huh? Hey, is that possible?

“Huh? Is that possible? I’m looking at it with the eyes. Originally, cadets can’t enter the dungeon. But I can.”

Jin Si-yeon proudly took out a card from her arms. She was a dungeon entry permit recognized by the association.

Then what about Elizabeth?

“A member of the Taylor family is basically given that qualification. I went into a dungeon a few times when I was in England.”

“Oh…”

“Whoopoohoo! John! If you become a vassal of the Taylor family, you will be paid right away!”

Ah. Not that.

Anyway, if it doesn’t work, I can’t help it.

“I hope you come without getting hurt.”

“Don’t worry. There are healers.”

Elizabeth gave her a pat on my shoulder and left with Jin Shiyeon.

Um… Then, I’m going to spend the rest of my time doing volunteer work.

The next morning.

When she came to the classroom for class, she saw Elizabeth lying face down.

“Good morning.”

“Yes… Good morning. Ahaaa!”

“How was yesterday?”

“Ugh. It wasn’t easy. But it wasn’t a problem. I went today, so next week, right?!”

“You’re busy.”

“It can’t be helped! This is what it means to be a noble…”

It was then. The front door opened and Kim Yeon-ha came in.

“There are some guys who haven’t come yet, Elizabeth. Tell them when they come.”

“Yes? What?”

“I’m going to visit Uijeongbu this afternoon.”

Huh? Suddenly?

“Everyone seems surprised. I heard that the head of the Taylor family and the head of the Jin family are participating in the battle in Uijeongbu today. Just watching it is a good study, so all the freshmen will be watching the battle in Uijeongbu.”

“Ah…”

“The schedule may be a little twisted, but I can’t help it. Opportunities like this aren’t common. Come on, listen to the class!”

Kim Yeon-ha left after throwing the announcement, and I looked at Elizabeth.

“If you are the head of the Taylor family…”

“Ah. Yes.”

Elizabeth smiled.

“My wonderful grandfather.”

You’ll see the muscle-muscle grandfather, not the roider.
