Admission is a waste of time (1)
Index. Congratulations on passing the document screening.
As a child, the boy Ban Yu-won first learned about the existence of the fictitious structure called the ‘Tower of Babel’ mentioned in the Bible.
His respected grandfather told him.
The tower of Babel, built by everyone working together when there was only one language in the world.
“The person who built the Tower of Babel was actually our ancestor, Won-ah. Furthermore, the Tower of Babel was completed without collapsing. Everyone is mistaken.”
Said.
If he had first heard the story when he was older and had learned the truth about the Tower of Babel, he would have been astonished and objected.
“Really, Grandpa? So your ancestor was a landlord? Not just a house, but a building!”
“How on earth does a father raise a child… … Ahem! You’re not just a building owner, Won-ah. What matters is your ancestors’ abilities.”
At that time, Ban Yu-won was young and naive and believed his grandfather’s words without question. When his grandson asked questions with shining eyes, his grandfather told him a few more stories.
The Tower of Babel was built not because everyone spoke the same language, but because our ancestors had the ability to enable everyone to communicate.
The idea that God destroyed the tower and scattered humanity is nothing more than the ugly delusion of humans who were jealous of their ancestors.
The master of language, who interprets and transforms all languages, and exercises great power in language itself.
We are the descendants of such a great person.
Never forget that fact.
But Ban Yu-won, who was more interested in houses and buildings than vague abilities, did not give up and asked.
“Then where did the completed Tower of Babel go? That’s our building, huh?”
“The Tower of Babel… … .”
Although his grandson’s reasons for quickly becoming immersed in the world at a young age were fundamentally different, his grandfather also pursued the Tower of Babel.
His grandfather replied with a distant look in his eyes.
“Even Grandfather doesn’t know that. One thing is certain: if we find it, our family will be able to regain all its power and glory… … .”
The Tower of Babel that the young Ban Yu-won had been desperately searching for was never found.
However, the ability that was passed down from ancestors did exist.
The evidence was none other than Ban Yu-won himself.
“The light of my life, the flame of my vitality. My sin, my soul… … .”
“Yuwon, what are you reading?”
“Read a book!”
“Oh my, what book is our son reading so intently… … Honey, our child is reading an original book?!”
Language is something that is originally remembered through continuous repetition.
Only when your ears are open, your mouth is open, and your eyes are bright can you be said to have the conditions to speak that language.
“This is an apple, an apple, a ringo, a pingguo, a mela… … all apples!”
“Father, I think there’s something really strange about our playground.”
“You read the language of a country you’ve never seen before and even understand its meaning, Father!”
But Ban Yoo-won ignored the whole process.
He was able to understand and handle the concept of language as if he had known it since birth.
All, regardless of whether they are phonetic or ideographic.
“It seems that Yuwon has inherited his ancestors’ blood strongly.”
“Father, that’s not it, this is… … .”
“The child who will finally fulfill the family’s long-cherished wish has been born! The child who will bring back the Tower of Babel to the family!”
“I would rather die than suffer.”
Yes, that’s right.
Ban Yuan could understand and handle every language that existed on Earth.
No, it was even greater than that.
[wjsckdnjschlrhdmldkzkepal「dbsldhs」dmltjfbwjsgudgkqrurdmfcnrgkemflqslek!]
“No, but there is a limit to it. There is no way I can interpret such words… … .”
[Congratulations on passing the document screening for the best academy in the entire dimension, “Union!”]
“… … Is there anything?”
In fact, I could even read alien languages.

Lesson 1. This is your status window – 1
It was February, and Ban Yu-won was twenty years old.
I was sitting in front of my computer, just refreshing the page, waiting for the college acceptance announcements to come up.
Suddenly, his vision brightened, and a translucent glass window appeared before his eyes.
It was a glass window with an alien language written on it that even Ban Yuan, who was fluent in every language on Earth, had never seen before.
[Congratulations on passing the document screening for the best academy in the entire dimension, “Union!”]
“It doesn’t even disappear.”
While waiting for the announcement of university acceptance, a glass window with an alien language written on it suddenly appears before your eyes, and the alien language can be translated.
Ban Yu-won, who could not understand this surreal phenomenon, shouted the very words that one should shout first when faced with an incomprehensible situation.
“Status window!”
There was no such thing.
Neither status, nor creation status, nor collapsed window, nor other window works… …!
Instead, the alien language writing on the glass window changed.
[Applicants who pass the document screening will immediately take the practical evaluation. But don’t worry! The dimension you are currently in is a lower dimension whose name is not even known, so the practical evaluation is also classified as a lower dimension special selection. The difficulty level is much lower than the upper dimension general selection, so you can pass without difficulty!]
“I’m going to turn around, really.”
What is a practical evaluation and what is a special lower-level selection?
The glass window didn’t give an answer, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand.
The special admission process that is usually mentioned in the college entrance exam system is a process that selects students with special backgrounds or special skills that is slightly different from the general recruitment standards, and aims to accept diverse talents at the school level.

So, the original Ban Yu-won passed the document screening of this academy, or whatever it was called, due to his special ability, and he was able to take the practical evaluation at a lower difficulty level than others… … .
[If you pass the practical test, you will become a prospective student and move to the Union Academy dormitory, so prepare yourself mentally. Then, the transmission will start in 1 minute. 59, 58… … .]
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about, I never applied in the first place… …!”
When on earth did you write the paperwork and what is the practical part?
He said that the only university he applied to was S University!
No, if you’re going to show me such a weird message, you should at least show me a status screen!
-Pak
At that moment, the monitor screen refreshed a little late and the announcement of successful applicants to the Social Sciences College (planning to major in Political Science and Diplomacy) of S University appeared.
The result is of course a pass!
Yeah, I was definitely hallucinating because I was so nervous before the announcement of my acceptance.
It was Ban Yu-won who greeted him as he took a deep breath, convincing himself like that.
[1, 0. The practical test location is the Blind Goblin Den!]
“sleep.”
It was the first time in my life that I had experienced teleportation magic.
“Just… … .”
And when he finished speaking.
The half-universe was already somewhere other than Earth.
So, to paraphrase it in the most appropriate words he knows… … .
He was in the dungeon.
* * *
[The objective of the practical assessment is simple. Reach the center of the Blind Goblin’s Den and destroy the dungeon core! Since this is a special lower-dimensional dungeon, you pass as long as the dungeon core is destroyed!]
Hiding in a dark, damp corner of the cave, Ban Yu-won thought.
‘It’s not an illusion or a hallucination. I’m sure of it.’
It was Ban Yu-won who had now come to accept that he was in a very unrealistic situation.
In fact, I was dragged into the dungeon and denied reality for about 30 seconds, but then I felt the creepy presence of a monster just by hearing its breathing across the passageway and I regained my senses in shock as if I had been splashed with cold water.
Since his abilities are the product of miracles, Ban Yu-won’s strength is that he is quick to adapt to surreal situations.
He stopped all thinking and moved as quietly as possible to find a place to hide, and that’s how he got to where he is now.
‘Let’s think about it.’
Why am I in a place like this?
Is there no way to get back home?
Thinking the same thing is meaningless now.
What he needs to think about now is how to pass this practical assessment safely.
First of all, we need to get out of this place and meet the person in charge and ask them questions or something.
Actually, I wonder what on earth you can do against a group that has the ability to force people to a place like this.
‘No, don’t be weak-hearted. I’ll get out of here safely and enter S University. A brilliant college life awaits me… …!’
To do that, we need to find a way to get out of here.
In fact, the goal was presented from the beginning.
[Reach the center of the Blind Goblin Cave and destroy the dungeon core.]
This is a sentence that can be understood without having to use language comprehension skills.
Because it is something you see a lot in games and novels.
‘They’re just blatantly telling me that this is a dungeon. Is Union Academy some kind of a school that trains explorers who explore dungeons? Then why on earth did I pass the document screening… … . Let’s think about that later.’
Dungeon Core.
Core is the core.
What happens when you destroy the core of an object? Disintegration occurs.
… … At least that was the case in the novels he had read, and it didn’t seem to be any different here.
In other words, Ban Yu-won was instructed to attack and clear the dungeon.
However, the goblins living in this dungeon would not just stand by and watch the dungeon core break.
He moves, fighting unknown monsters whose numbers are unknown.
Reaching the center of an unknown cave,
The story is that you have to overcome the monsters’ interference and destroy the core.
‘Ss …
Modern man cannot be confident of winning even against a wild Chihuahua, let alone a goblin.
What about a pack of Chihuahuas rushing at you? Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Thanks to that feeling of fear, my body was frozen.
The next moment, a club flew out of the air and passed right in front of his nose, but he was able to hold on without falling.
“dkslsrk!”
“… … !”
Hmph, I desperately held back the sound that was about to come out.
Perhaps because I was so absorbed in my thoughts, I didn’t notice the monster that was right in front of me.
No, that’s not it.
The monster approached, hiding its presence.
A monster that is incomparably more terrifying than a Chihuahua.
“qnsauddurlsep! Where.”
Dark green, wrinkled skin, slightly shorter than the 182 centimeter tall Ban Yuan.
But the limbs were muscular, and the face, revealing sharp teeth, was truly ferocious.
The goblins in the game are the weakest that even a Lv1 beginner warrior can easily kill, but the goblin in front of him right now was clearly a monster with power that was higher than Ban Yu-won.
“Then right!”
“!”
-Hooooow
It was no accident that I managed to avoid two consecutive slashes from that monster (the sound of it cutting through the air was horrifying).
Ban Yu-won, who had gradually come to understand the monster’s words, was able to move his body while listening to the monster’s words that were foolishly honest about his actions.
‘Crazy, I can even understand monsters.’
It was my first time encountering a talking monster, so of course it was a first-time experience.
Strangely enough, at that moment, Ban Yu-won gained a little bit of confidence.
At least you’ve learned that your language skills are useful even in this place where you don’t know English.
“I can’t catch it! It’s right in front of my nose!”
Meanwhile, the goblins, having failed to hunt their prey, went berserk and swung their clubs in all directions.
Why are you doing such a crazy thing instead of aiming straight at the Banyuwon right in front of your nose?
That was because the goblin was blind.
‘I guess this is an advantage given because it’s a special lower-dimensional example? It’s quite comforting.’
Thanks to that, I am still alive now, but that and passing the practical assessment are completely different things.
Ban Yu-won slowly backed away from the goblin who was swinging his club like a madman, but that was a mistake.
The bastard suddenly ran up to me and swung his club down with a bang!
“I missed it again!”
‘Huk! Ugh… …! This kid is reading my every move!’
It was thanks to his surprisingly improved reflexes that he was able to avoid that blow just now.
I somehow felt like my physical abilities had been enhanced compared to when I was on Earth.
However, it was not enough to defeat the monster, so it was just barely able to avoid attacks that were clearly visible.
Fortunately, the bastard is not very sensitive to the sense of presence when he attacks.
So once you dodge an attack, you can’t find the right position and end up wandering around like that.
however.
“Are there any of your kind there? What are they doing?”
Oh my god, ancestors.
Just when I thought I was getting used to barely avoiding one attack, a new monster appeared from across the passage!
He was equally blind, equally muscular, and equally armed with a fearsome club!
The goblin (let’s say a high school freshman) who noticed the appearance of his kind shouted happily.
“The prey keeps avoiding attacks!”
“Prey? Prey!”
Yeah, I knew it, damn it!
The newly appeared goblin, a high school sophomore, was running towards me, jumping up and down.
This theory is surrounded from the front and back.
But if you move like that, you will be detected again.
‘How? How on earth can I survive this absurd situation?’
At that moment, a very stupid thought popped into Ban Yu-won’s mind.
But since there wasn’t enough time to find another way, Ban Yu-won put that idea into action right away.
“Run straight ahead and hit me straight in the eye!”
Ban Yu-won shouted.
In the language spoken by goblins.
At the same time, he threw his body to the side.
As desperately as I could, I ran away from there.
“The prey speaks our language!”
“Thanks for letting me know!”
“for a moment……!”
Unlike the first-year high school student who was shocked and frozen by Ban Yu-won’s words, the second-year high school student, who had just arrived here, ran without paying attention to the small difference in voice.
The goblins were more ignorant than Ban Yu-won could have imagined, and yet they were powerful.
And these guys’ evasive moves were worse than half-assed.
-Ouch!
What this means is that the club thrown by the second-year high school student succeeded in breaking half of the first-year high school student’s head.
“I caught my prey… … !”
“Kill me!”
“Kkuak!”
The high school freshman who was hit with a fatal blow became excited and swung his club at the person who hit him, even though he knew that the person who hit him was his own kind.
Of course, the second year high school student couldn’t avoid it and got hit.
Pfft!
“It hurts! Why are you hitting me!”
“You hit me first!”
“Die!”
Ban Yu-won blankly watched the fierce battle that had begun before his eyes.
Here, he had no choice but to stay still, for fear that if he moved again he might provoke them for no reason.
The second-year high school student should have had the advantage in making the first move, but it seems that the first-year high school student originally had more power, so the two were evenly matched.
“You idiot! It’s not me!”
“Liar! Goblins don’t forgive liars!”
The conversation level was that of an elementary school student, but the battle itself was fierce enough to give you goosebumps.
Bam! Bang! Bang! Bam!
It was simply astonishing how each blow, whether it was a blow to the head, chest, legs, or arms, resounded with a roar that Ban Yu-won could not possibly imitate.
‘Who said that goblins were the weakest monsters? … .’
If he had believed the descriptions of goblins in various novels and had run through the cave without a plan, wouldn’t Ban Yu-won’s head have been broken by now?
“Kku, eek… … .”
Just as Ban Yu-won was trembling at the harshness of the situation he was in, the direction of the battle finally changed.
Surprisingly, despite being hit first, the first-year student succeeded in tearing the second-year student’s nape off!
“Die!”
“Ouch!”
A high school freshman hit a high school freshman on the head with a club.
The wound on his torn nape gaped open, blood gushing out, the strength in the high school sophomore’s hands gave out, and the club fell to the floor.
That was when the second year of high school made its final desperate attempt.
I fell to the ground on the first year of high school and bit the tip of the guy’s nose.
“Clear it… … !”
“Kuheeek… … .”
Was it really his last desperate attempt? The second year high school student couldn’t move anymore.
However, the first-year student had already suffered a fatal injury and was crushed by the bastard’s corpse, so he could only flail his arms and legs and not get up.
“Whew, whoosh… … .”
Ban Yu-won picks up the club that a second-year high school student dropped.
Even though I was already standing at the bastard’s bedside.
‘If I can’t even kill this, I have no hope of clearing this dungeon.’
Since he was on the verge of death as a high school freshman, it would have been okay to just run away, but why did he choose to approach him in a dangerous way?
That’s because Ban Yu-won chose to move forward rather than just run away from here.
No matter how unreasonable the current situation is, you have to get through the dungeon in order to survive.
You have to fight these guys to get through the dungeon.
Even a dying man like this couldn’t run away in fear.
“Huhhhhhh!”
I was so nervous that I held the club too tightly and stopped breathing, but it wasn’t bad for a beginner to hit the target with the club.
He just slammed it down.
-Pfft!
A single blow from Ban Yu-won that exceeds the average physical strength of young South Koreans.
The life of a dying goblin was definitely ended.
[Congratulations! You have successfully completed your first hunt in the dungeon!]
At that moment, with a completely unexpected timing, a translucent glass window appeared before his eyes again.
Ban Yu-won stares out the glass window, feeling his hands, arms, stomach, and back tingling due to being overly nervous.
The message has been updated.
[As a reward, we provide you with higher-level power and status windows. All students attending the academy can manage their abilities and grow them efficiently through the status window! This is the most advanced support system provided by Union Academy!]
“uh?”
No, a status window at this timing?!
Just a moment ago, Ban Yoo-won had been cursing and hating the school officials, but he couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter at the mention of the status window!
[This is your status window.]
And finally, in front of Ban Yu-won’s eyes, his status window…
[Confirmed that the subject possesses higher powers.]
Just before it appears.
It is a more inorganic and higher-dimensional letter with a different structure than the letters that have appeared so far.
‘But somehow, a character that was immediately recognizable’ appeared.
[Recovers the status window.]
“What? Give me back my status screen!”
Ban Yu-won shouts in embarrassment, forgetting the situation.
I immediately realized my recklessness and quickly covered my mouth, but fortunately no new goblins appeared.
[Power, unlock the Babylonian Code.]
Instead, golden strings began to emerge from the corpses of the two goblins before his eyes.
