178 – Remaining Tasks – 4
“Wow!! This is awesome?!”
“I never imagined the buff would be this great. I’ve heard of it, but…”
“At this level, I’m looking forward to the future even more! Hey! Kim Yeon-ha! Didn’t I say this guy was a student in your class?”
“Yes.”
An old man smiled and said to Instructor Kim Yeon-ha, who was on the other team. He approached me, dragging a large axe, and patted me on the shoulder.
“Have you decided where to go after graduation?”
“hahahaha… I’m thinking of two places right now.”
“Really? Is one of them Changchun?”
“No.”
“I see…”
He took out his business card and handed it to me. Changchun. It was a guild whose main activity was breaking through ruins. In other words, it is a place where only talented people gather.
“My younger brother is the one called Sinchang.”
Sinchang Gilwooncheon. An S-class hero of the same age as old man Breath. He remembers that there were also sub-events related to him.
“You can get help from Shinchang. Keep it in your head for now.”
“hahahaha. I see.”
I received the Changchun Guild’s business card he gave me and put it in his wallet. In the meantime, others came and handed me business cards. I received as many as seven business cards just by using the buff once. It’s a guild that’s pretty well known all over the place.
“If you want, I’ll give you the best conditions.”
As the female hero in her late thirties, who smiled brightly and stroked my hair, stepped back, Instructor Yang Jun approached me. And he pats me on the shoulder and smiles.
“Thanks to that, I can open my chest a bit.”
“Is that so?”
“They often made fun of us for being in the academy.”
Instructor Kim Yeon-ha, who approached, also spoke bluntly, but a smile hung on her lips.
It seems that the hero made fun of them for not being active and playing with kids at the academy.
But after experiencing my buff, it must be that it is not easy to see the two acting as academy instructors.
“I told you that freshmen are doing well this time, but they didn’t even pretend to listen.”
It’s not that I couldn’t understand that reaction.
Because from the standpoint of heroes who have gone through all sorts of battles, academy cadets and those who have just graduated are just kids.
But now freshman cadets are different. Not only Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah, but other main and supporting characters have enough skills to put them into action right away.
Would you call a freshman now ‘sacred’?
“Well. There’s nothing like a meeting at this level… Let’s break it up.”
I guess all I wanted to do was to test my abilities. And I want everyone to be satisfied. Then there was no need to stay here.
“Then I’ll go practice.”
“Yes. Ah. Contact the guild if you are interested.”
After I broke up with them and returned to the dormitory, I immediately started training. And in the evening, I enjoyed a date with Yoo Choa in the suburbs of Seoul after training.
Three days like that.
I repeated training and dating, and when it was time to go to the ruins, Choa Yoo grabbed me and cried.
“Don’t get hurt… Okay?!”
“Okay. Okay.”
If you think about the number of people you saw last time, you can really easily go around the ruins where Cyclops comes out. It will be even more so if my buffs are added to it.
But when I saw him fidgeting like he was staring at a child left at the water’s edge, I laughed for no reason.
“It’s a real promise! Huh?!”
“Yes. Yes. Anyway, I’m practicing well.”
“Ugh…”
I patted her sullen shoulder, kissed her on the cheek, and headed for the gate. The skilled heroes who had already gathered were waiting with all preparations completed.
“Are you here? Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
These are very reassuring people.
And, as expected, the raid on the ruins proceeded without any problems. This is what it means to be a good matched hero. As shown, this raid showed skillful movements.
It took only three days to attack the ruins and defeat the owner, Cyclops, without a single crisis.
This is why people give more to those with experience.
“What happened to Cyclops?”
As the giant’s corpse turned gray and began to disappear, everyone looked forward to seeing what Cyclops had left behind.
“Oops.”
“Ohhh! The ax is out!”
“Do you have any gauntlets…?”
“The Cyclops’ eyes are out. That’s great!”
Some people were delighted, some were annoyed, some were sullen.
Originally, this is the way to attack these ruins. You can get what you want when you come for the first time, but there are many cases where you can’t get what you want even after trying dozens of times.
A story of luck in the end.
I saw the middle-aged prosecutor who was praying over the Buddha statue, cross, and statue of the Virgin Mary taking care of them with a confused expression.
It seems that the airway meter is not working.
“Did you need anything?”
“Yes. What…”
I didn’t find any equipment I could use in this ruin. In the first place, mental power-related equipment doesn’t appear here. There are no materials required either.
“Still, I’ve had a hard time, but wouldn’t it be a pity to only take points?”
“What. It can’t be helped.”
“I see.”
Instructor Yang Joon and Kim Yeon Ha. And me too. I didn’t get anything good from this ruin. So I stayed back. In the meantime, after distributing the items, they handed out points to those who didn’t get anything.
“Okay. Let’s meet again next time! Until then, take good care of your lives!”
We gathered with the goal of conquering the ruins, so once the raid is over, it’s right to go your own way. As I started to leave the ruins one by one, Instructor Yangjun patted me on the back.
“It’s over sooner than expected, so if you have time left, but there’s nothing to do, I’ll train you.”
“If you need magical training, tell me.”
Physical training, and magical training. Both are important, but I already had a prior commitment. Unfortunately, let’s refrain from both proposals.
“Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
The two of them walked towards the exit of the ruins as if they were not particularly sorry. I followed them, and after leaving the ruins, we headed straight for the gate.
“Are you going to the academy?”
“Yes. I decided to meet my friends there.”
“I see. By the way, you seem to be quite close with Yoo Choa.”
We’re not close friends, but we’re dating…
“Hmm… Well. I’m not against dating between cadets… But don’t waste too much time playing around. You know the saying that the ax handle doesn’t rot, right?”
You know. I wasn’t so bad that I did stupid things to lose my goal while dating. And it’s the same for Choa, Elizabeth, and Siyeon.
He seemed to like my answer and left with a grin. Instructor Kim Yeon-ha thought for a while before opening her mouth.
“The Association may contact you soon.”
“In association? Which…”
“Azazel.”
“Does the instructor know that too?”
“Well… That’s about as far as I’ve heard. They say they found a ruin with traces of Azazel. I couldn’t figure out if it was real or not.”
“A trace?”
“Yes. I’ve found several ruins that left traces of what seemed to be hers… But I haven’t found Azazel. Did she leave those traces to hide herself, or was something else going on with us?” I don’t know if it was made to deceive…”
With her wry smile, she shook her head slowly.
“Anyway, the people at the Vatican and the Society are analyzing and investigating it themselves. So, I’m sure we’ll find it again soon.”
“I see…”
“Perhaps next time I take on the challenge, I’ll get in touch with you guys. Recently, your names are quite well known in the association. Especially…”
“Especially?”
“The name of Yoo Choa.”
What she did during her first semester, and how she got the true ending score. All of those things raised her value, and she was eventually flowing into the story of having her participate when she raided the ruins.
“And maybe you will too.”
“Okay.”
If you are going to raid the ruins to meet Azazel, you must participate. I nodded her head and Instructor Kim Yeon-ha patted me on the back and smiled.
“Take care.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“It would be nice if you could pay attention in class.”
“Ahahahaha…”
Watching her walk away with a smile, I slightly clenched my fist at her.

Now it must be very soon.
-Titling!
While thinking about the future, the terminal rang. When I checked, it was a message from Cheon Soo-ho.
[Hey. When are you coming?]
I’m fine, but Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah are the problem.
Everyone must be training hard, but will the time be all right?
I immediately sent them a message and got a quick reply.
[Are you going today?]
[I’m fine today.]
[Take me out right now~!]
Choa, what kind of training is this guy doing, and why did he send such a reply? I was worried, so I called and answered with a more comfortable voice than I expected.
– Ehehehe! You call me too! Be kind!
“You cheated!”
– Are you cheating? I just asked them to take me out immediately~!
That’s right. I’m glad to hear that the training isn’t that hard.
“When can I go?”
– If I finish it all night tonight, I think it will be finished by tomorrow morning. Oh Did the ruins go well? Are there any injuries anywhere?
“Can I get hurt? I only gave you a buff from behind. Anyway, see you at the gate tomorrow.”
– Yes!
After that, I called Elisabeth and Jin Shi-yeon, and both answered with a calm voice. I’m glad that everyone seems fine.
Then should I tell Serenia?
I headed straight to the cathedral. It had been a long time since I had been to the church because I had been traveling here and there throughout the vacation.
“Hmm? Aren’t you Brother Kim Yohan?”
I saw the head nun who was sweeping the yard of the cathedral. She smiled mildly and when she came to greet her, she greeted me and asked.
“Can I take Serenia with me tomorrow?”
“Hmm…”
When Serenia’s story comes out, her expression darkens. Uh? Did something happen?
“Sister Serenia is currently being punished…”
“What did you do…”
“I drank at the chapel with the other nuns yesterday.”
“…..”
You did something worth scolding.
