I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

243 – Permission – 4

It was quite surprising that Jin-ho and the elder, who rarely went out due to the Jin family’s successor decision-making battle, were seen.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t participate, so we moved to the gate near Jilin Province without any problems.

“The remains of Haemosu are located in southern Jilin Province.”

“Do you even know the exact location?”

“Yes. I did some research.”

During the final exam period, I took some time to research my surroundings.

Of course, I didn’t do it alone, and I received a lot of help from the association. As a result of exploration by drones and C-rank or higher heroes, it was confirmed that there were ruins under a well in a small village in southern Jilin Province.

“It’s Haemyo Village.”

“It was a village where Habaek, the river god, was revered. Now, people have left.”

“How did you find that?”

I wasn’t embarrassed by Jinho and the old man’s sharp questions. What is there to be embarrassed about?

“Once upon a time, Siyeon said that she wanted to obtain Yonggwangdo. From then on, I just did some research.”

Of course, the research was based on memories from a past life. Jinho and the elder’s eyebrows twitched slightly at my answer.

“Siyeon…?”

“Yes. But I don’t know why Siyeon said she wanted to obtain the dragon sword.”

“Hmm… That’s probably because of the story I told Siyeon when she was young.”

A smile appeared on his expressionless face.

His expression became much softer, as if he was remembering the past when father and daughter did not treat each other as harshly as they do now.

“I see. So… this must have been a lot of trouble.”

“No. It was something I had to do.”

“why?”

“yes?”

“Why did you say it was something you had to do?”

“that…”

“That’s true. That sounds scary. Don’t you think John will be scared?”

The person who approached me at that time was Grandpa Brees.

He leisurely approached me, put his arm around my shoulder, and patted my head as if to block Jinho and the elderly man’s murderous gaze.

“If a young hero, especially the youngest S-class hero, comes forward and offers to help, you can just smile and accept it. Why are you showing off so coldly?”

“…I was just curious.”

“Well, about personality.”

Grandpa Breath spoke to me in a low voice as he watched him walk forward after answering bluntly.

“Still, he seems to like it.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Although he is a person whose facial expressions and emotions rarely change, it certainly seems like that.”

is it? I’m glad.

Anyway, I’m satisfied with just having gained a little bit of favor.

“Ah! I guess it’s over there!!”

How long has it been since I left the gate and moved on? A small village appeared. When we arrived at the place, which was already guarded by military units and heroes, people smiled and welcomed us.

“There is nothing special. You can enter right away.”

“Were there any monsters?”

“Yes. Nothing much has happened yet. Hero Kim Yohan.”

“I’m still just a cadet. Please feel free to tell me.”

“Haha… how could you do that?”

Since the middle-aged hero treated me with courtesy, I was also polite to him.

Anyway, he is no different from a senior who has been active as a hero for a long time. If the other person respects me, it is natural for me to respect myself as well.

“……”

Anyway, why are you looking at me like that? Siri feels burdened. I slowly turned my head and saw Jinho and the old man staring at me.

When our eyes met, I slightly lowered my head and he crossed his arms and shook his head.

“John. What’s wrong?”

The person who approached me at that time was none other than Jin Si-yeon. Jinho and the elderly man’s gaze changes when he sees her standing next to me.

“Is your father pressuring you?”

“It’s not like that… um. I guess it’s just my mood. Anyway, there’s no problem. Come on! Everyone, gather around!!”

Grandpa Breath, Jin Ho and the elders, Ilwol-eung and his wife Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, Yoo Cho-ah, Cheon Su-ho, Gi Ki-yeol, and even Serenia.

Since the party consists of a basic A-class and a whopping three S-classes, the strategy itself will not be that difficult.

“According to my research, this ruin is a top-class ruin. In other words, the enemies here are not weak at all. Please be careful about that… Master Breath. You brought the scroll, right?”

“of course.”

“Thank you. Now, let’s divide the teams here. Um… we will divide them based on Breath and Jinho-rang…”

“Hahahaha!! Shouldn’t young people start leading the team!!”

“I agree.”

The two S-class heroes take a step back. Are you giving me a chance to grow? Then there is nothing bad.

“Show me, Elizabeth. Can you take on the role of leader?”

“of course.”

“Ohhohohoho!! Please leave it to me!”

“then…”

The team is divided into two. Elizabeth’s team includes Grandpa Breath, Il-eung, Ki Ki-yeol, and Yoo Cho-ah.

Jin Si-yeon’s team includes Jin-ho, Elder God, Wol-eung, Serenia, and Cheon Su-ho.

I guess I’ll go with giving buffs based on the situation.

“Why are you splitting the team into two?”

“Because there are two owners of these ruins. Two of them come out…”

“after?”

A jiangshi is an evolved creature that is very cruel and violent and looks like a lion. It is a monster with evil tendencies that commits evil deeds such as eating people and causing droughts.

They are S-class monsters, and in the ruins of Haemosu, they influence each other and share vitality, so you must catch them both at the same time.

“There is a high possibility that the monster that Haemosu sealed in the past will appear as the boss. To prepare for that, we must divide the team into two.”

“You did a very detailed investigation.”

“Of course, please remember that it may not be the case. Now then, let’s go.”

As we went, we also told stories about the bosses who would be here. The middle bosses here are the three Baeknyeong Gangsi, and they have a difficulty level of mid to late A grade. But catching them won’t be a problem. Anyway, there are only three S-class people here.

“Whew…”

Jinhorang, who came to the ruins of Haemosu instead of Manryeok, lowered his sword and looked around.

Attacking the ruins itself was something I had done countless times, so there was nothing particularly awkward about it. However, this attack on the ruins was different from the previous ones in many ways.

First of all, there is a lot of energy left. Appropriate instructions starting from the rear, and appropriate support. Cool and quick judgment and buffs that are appropriate for the situation.

not bad.

No, you could say it’s good.

Therefore, even though I was attacking the ruins, I didn’t feel very tired. Even though I’ve already defeated all the mid-bosses.

“Now, there are only two strong enemies left… As everyone knows, Hu is an S-class monster. Can we take it down by ourselves?”

“it’s possible.”

When Breath asked while holding a scroll in the air, Kim Yo-han, who can be said to be the team’s actual staff member, spoke firmly.

S-class monster. A monster so powerful that it would cause a national crisis once it appears can be defeated with just this number. Not one, but two.

It was something that even Jinho and Jinho would be nervous about, but that guy just casually agreed.

And surprisingly, he also believed that it was possible to some extent.

‘It’s not just the buffs. He has good guts and his skills aren’t bad either. ‘He’s also good at dealing with people… and has a great network.’

In many ways, he was a person I really liked. Except for one thing.

‘Tsk. But the woman…’

I was trying to hide it somehow, but I had already figured it out. Kim Yo-han has a very deep relationship with his daughter Jin Si-yeon.

Of course, if that were all I would have smiled and accepted him, but that wasn’t the problem.

Elizabeth Taylor, and Yoo Cho-ah.

He also had deep relationships with two women who, although not as attractive as his daughters, were sufficiently attractive and capable.

That part bothers him, and he unconsciously treats Kim Yo-han coldly.

“What are you thinking about?”

Breath approached Jinhorang, who was watching with his arms crossed as people entered the scroll. Jin Ho-rang shook his head at the words of the old man, who was in the same S class, had worked together on several operations, and often competed with him.

“never mind.”

“Is it because of my daughter? Hahaha. Even Jinhorang of the world is just a heavenly father in front of his daughter.”

“Noisy.”

“The relationship between Siyeon and Yohan. And… are you worried about other women with Yohan?”

Jinhorang was startled by those words. I thought it was just a noisy old man, but did he notice?

Breath shrugged his shoulders towards Jinhorang, who looked at him in surprise.

“Of course I know. How could you not know that? I’m not that clueless.”

Honestly, I was surprised. I didn’t know that the big old man in front of me knew.

“…so?”

“So what?”

“Your one and only granddaughter is being held captive by a man who has his hands on multiple people… are you going to just ignore that?”

“I guess I’ll just wait and see.”

“what?”

“Children do not belong to their parents. Their own lives are their own. Choosing who to be by their side and how to live their lives. I did not raise my granddaughter to the point where she could not do those things properly.”

“……”

“The man Ellie chose must be the right guy. Of course, I feel bad that he doesn’t just love Ellie… but how can a person be perfect?”

“…I want my daughter to marry the perfect man.”

“Is there anyone in the world who is perfect?”

“Won’t you find it if you look for it?”

“Then there will be an old maid in the Jin family.”

Jin Ho-rang, who was watching him walk in with a grin, sighed heavily.

After the ruins raid, I felt like I would have to make a decision.
