138 – For Growth – 1
The next morning, just after entering the classroom for class, Max punched me.
“You, Elisabeth, and Jin Si-yeon are told to skip outside practice today?”
Huh? Suddenly? When I was puzzled, Max shrugged his shoulders.
“Doesn’t the kids who challenge the ruins take a different class?”
I guess so. No matter how easy the ruins are, it will require a lot of preparation.
“But what happened to you?”
“What. A test? It’s not yet… They say they’ll check your skills the day after tomorrow.”
Max also said he was taking on the challenge to participate in the raid. As he said he needs to test his skills, he seems to have a lot to prepare.
“I wish I could get your buff when I check my skills.”
“I wonder if that would be impossible.”
“Tsk. I’m sure that’s true, right?”
If you’ve received my buff, the skill check will be skipped, but will the instructors allow it?
As Max sat down after a long sigh of regret, the back door opened.
“Ohohohohohoho!! Good morning everyone!!”
It was Elizabeth. As always, she had earphones in her ears, and when she saw me, she smiled brightly and walked away.
“Yohan! Did you sleep well? Come to think of it, did you have club activities this week? I heard that you are going to catch a little difficult monster, so let’s do well! Why don’t we try to match the sum again in the practice outside today?!”
“Unfortunately, they said the outside training was canceled today. I think you, Siyeon, and I will have separate classes.”
As Max told her the story, Elizabeth took her earphones off and tilted her head as she sat down.
“If it’s another class…”
“It must be a class for participants in raiding the ruins.”
Maybe this time you will meet the teachers of each aptitude. Originally, it started from the second semester, but as the raid on the ruins is faster than expected, meeting the teachers of each aptitude will also be faster.
“Oh! What a pity!”
“Why? Did you want to catch a monster?”
“That’s it too.”
Elizabeth smiled and whispered in my ear.
“I wanted to feel… You.”
“Looks like something’s missing in the middle?! Buff! Buff!”
“Ohohohohoho!!”
You’re kidding me! Elizabeth, amused by licking her lips, gently caressed my shoulder.
“Don’t be too shy!”
“It must be embarrassing to do that in such a crowded place.”
The voice I heard then.
It was Jin Shi-yeon. She had come this way before she knew it, and she stared at Elizabeth without putting down her bag, and she smiled.
“I wonder if it’s too clingy.”
“Ho-ho-ho! I’m sitting next to you!”
“Hmm. Come to think of it, isn’t it a reserved seating system?”
It is definitely as Jin Si-yeon said. A seat is just a comfortable place to sit. Elizabeth and I had been sitting in the same place since the beginning, but many of the cadets in the same class switched seats.
Many of the latecomers sat in the empty front seats.
“…Isn’t it?”
Elizabeth smiled. Seeing her like that, Jin Shi-yeon shrugged her shoulders and said leisurely.
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
“Ohohohohoho!! Me too!”
“…..”
I’m going to have to give this a quick answer or something.
“Is everyone here?”
Then the front door opened and Kim Yeon-ha entered. Looking around her classroom lightly, she scratched the back of her head.
“Kim Yo-han. Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon. You guys go to the auditorium. Did you hear from Max?”
“Yes. Those who go to raid the ruins are taking a different class today.”
“Yeah. I’m going to class with the guys in the other class… Maybe until next week.”
Until next week. So, are you not coming to this classroom in the meantime?
“If you go, Instructor Yangjun will be there. Of course, since it is a special class, there will be other instructors. There will also be active heroes coming, so learn carefully. If you fail the last test there, you will not be able to capture the ruins, so you know that.”
Kim Yeon-ha, who said to go and listen to other details, waved her hand. At the gesture to get out, me, Elizabeth, and Jin Shi-yeon took our bags and went outside as if we were being chased.
“It’s an auditorium! It’s the first time since the entrance ceremony!”
“I don’t have anything to go to. But is it necessary to rent such a large place?”
“Because there will be something that doubles as a demonstration. Or we can gather there and go to another place.”
I’ll have to go there anyway.
When I arrived at the main auditorium, there were already cadets there. There are faces you know and faces you don’t know.
“Oh! John!”
A familiar face among them.
Yoo Choa, who confessed to me yesterday, came running with a bright smile. And she hugged naturally.
“hehehe~. Did you sleep well?”
“Uh. Yes. I slept well, but…”
“…Choa?! Ho-ho-ho! I know it’s nice, but how about falling a bit?!”
“Ah~. It’s nice to see you~! Elizabeth too!”
Yoo Choa, who had fallen away from me, hugged Elizabeth. Seeing her like that, she let out a small sigh and hugged her once.
“If you keep doing that, you’ll misunderstand.”
“Huh? What misunderstanding?”
“Does others know that you like John?”
“Right?”
“…..”
“…..”
Wow. Count.
Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon kept their mouths shut and stared at them, but Yoo Cho-ah was just bright.
“I’m sure Yohan likes it. Ah. Of course I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
“Aha~! I like you as a friend…”
“No. I see you as a man.”
“……”
“…..”
Wow. Look at the bloody atmosphere. Toward Choa Yoo, who declared with her bright smile, Elizabeth did not say anything.
“…Well, I was roughly expecting it. The friendly approach and approach seemed a little disrespectful.”
In response to Jin Xiyeon’s cold words, Yuchoa nodded her head.
“Thank you so much for noticing~! That’s what I approached with that intention!”
“That, whoa… No more than that…”
As Elizabeth was about to speak, people started to come out from the podium. They were Instructor Yangjun, other instructors, and heroes belonging to the Association.
“Everyone take your seats.”
At the words of Instructor Yangjun, the three headed to their seats. There is already a reserved seat, and the name is attached to the chair. Next to me…
“Why you guys?”
“I don’t know. Neither do I.”
“The support side seems to have been removed separately?”
There were Ki Joon-yeol and Serenia. What. There must be more supporters, but are there only three of us?
“Due to the academic schedule, you can start exploring the ruins from the 2nd semester of the 1st year, but given the current situation, we are going to send those with skills to the ruins to study in advance. However, just because they are selected now, it is not the end.”
It was an orientation on how the special class was conducted. The contents that appeared on the screen in the auditorium were not particularly worrying. It was about the ruins and how to attack the ruins.
Then it would be better to just practice some more skills.
During orientation, I used buffs on myself.
“That’s all. Any questions?”
In the midst of training for a while, the orientation was over.
Instructor Yangjun looked around us and spoke calmly, but no one raised their hand.
“Then, now we have to train separately by aptitude…”
As expected, it seems that you are trying to meet the teachers of each aptitude.
As already known at the academy, they are divided into aptitude groups and start to move separately.
Elizabeth looked this way with regret, and Jin Si-yeon looked at her with a blunt gaze, the same as usual. And Yuchoa shook her hand and headed to where they should go.
Um…
I am the only one left.
I can’t help it. I don’t know if Azazel exists, but unless I have Azazel, no one will be able to teach me.
“Everybody move.”
Everyone leaves. It was Instructor Yang Jun who watched them walk away and approached me, who was left alone.
“I’ve thought about you quite a bit. But I didn’t get an answer.”
“Yes. I guess so.”
“Then what do you think is better?”
“I think it would be better to support the cadets to learn from each master and train separately.”
Anyway, what I can do right now is to raise my skill proficiency and raise my stats at the same time.
“Or maybe we could go for the bow.”
“The bow is just for support.”
Even if I use a bow with my stats or skills right now, it won’t help much. I need to learn more about cancel shots later.
“I see. Then where do you plan to go?”
“Let’s go to the place where magic is handled.”
A place that handles magical powers. This is where Yoo Choa went. Instructor Yangjun nodded and took me there.
Arriving at the shallow mountain northeast of the academy, I smiled at the people there.
I see students meditating cross-legged. It was a training to increase the amount of magical power through meditation and to better control the magical power at the same time.
“Hee hee hee. Are you here? And next to you…”
“Hello. I’m Yohan Kim.”
“It’s the rumored buffer. Yes. Nice to meet you. My name is Scarwee.”
Magician Scarwi. For those who handle magical powers, he is a great person worthy of respect.
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
“Hee hee hee. What an honor to meet an old man? Yes. You said your buff is special? Can I try it?”
As she requested, I used the buff, and after receiving all the buffs once, Scarwee’s lips showed a soft smile.
“Surely great… To strengthen others…”
“Scarwi. Is there any way to train John?”
“Well… I’ve only received a buff like this once in my life…”
“One time…?”
Instructor Yangjun’s eyes widened when he said that someone else had used a buff similar to mine.
“Who is that?”
“Azazel. You were an angel in the sky, but you fell to the ground to save people…”
