Admission is a waste of time (100)
Lesson 21. That’s because it’s a special case – 4
Wednesday, 2nd period.
The specialized course Auror Combat Science lecture was held in a unique way in the forest beyond the Academy’s spaceship dock, and you had to pass through a barrier to enter unless you had the lecture entrance code.
The reason was obvious the moment I passed through the barrier. The inside of the barrier was not a forest, but rather an environment closer to a wide grassland, and a shock-blocking barrier was laid out across the entire wide space.
“Shock-proofing the expansion of space. A space where you can run wild without worry. And… … .”
“You have eyes that can see magic.”
Ban Yu-won hesitated.
This was because Ryu Cheol-myeong, the professor in charge of this subject, had suddenly appeared before their eyes.
He had racial characteristics that were clearly East Asian by Earth standards, but his build was impossibly large by Earth standards.
There are certainly large East Asians on Earth, but even if Ryu Cheol-myeong were to be among them, Ban Yu-won would definitely be able to spot his unusual physical structure and single him out.
“You can tell the spatial expansion at a glance, but it must have been hard to tell the shock-blocking barrier until you experienced it yourself. I heard you were studying magical combat, so I was convinced.”
He had his hair cut short like the gym teacher who carries a golf club that every middle and high school has, and his eyes were as fierce as a snake.
What was unusual was the attire… …a single-colored oriental training uniform.
Yes, it’s exactly the kind of clothing you’d see in a martial arts novel.
“But you said you were holding a sword in the comprehensive training. Your body looks weak, but I think it’s not too late to focus on magic.”
“Thank you for the advice, Professor. I will think about it seriously.”
Well then, it’s great that you can clearly identify the Pia by getting rid of the trouble as soon as you see it!
When Ban Yu-won smiled and applauded inwardly, Ryu Cheol-myeong turned his head to the others with an expression of loss of interest in him, perhaps because the reaction was different from what he had expected.
After looking at Ruchel’s chest so closely that it felt a bit vulgar (Ruchel blushed and immediately hid behind Ban Yu-won’s back), he snorted when he saw Light carrying a spear on his back.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Dokgo Yeon.
“I came from the martial arts world.”
“Yes, but.”
“I see. I also come from the martial arts world. It’s a different place from where I’m a student―”
He said that and chuckled, then added something as if he had just remembered something.
“But… … Are there any transcendent beings in that martial arts world?”
“… … I don’t think there are any now.”
“I see. It will be difficult for the martial arts world to survive as a martial arts world.”
Is this really the provocation of a human who has been teaching at the greatest academy in the dimension for hundreds of years?
Ban Yoo-won, who was speechless and gaping, glanced at Dokgo Yeon, worried that she might not be able to hold it in anymore and explode.
“Are you worried about the martial arts world in another dimension? The Transcendent One truly has a different personality.”
Dokgo Yeon simply responded calmly with a smile similar to that of Ban Yu-won from earlier.
Ryu Cheol-myeong furrowed his brows and glared at Ban Yu-won for no reason. Then, after confirming that other students were entering the barrier, he turned to them without saying a word.
“Half-circle.”
“huh?”
Dokgo Yeon said, looking at Ryu Cheol-myeong’s back with eyes that contained no emotion.
“I despise the growth of mere aptitude without the accompanying enlightenment, and I never rush into martial arts achievements unless I am certain that I can handle it myself.”
“If I’m that strong without rushing, then what has my life been like up until now?”
“I think I need to hit that fake transcendentalist who doesn’t even know the subject and runs wild, thinking he’s reached the sky, to feel better.”
Dokgo Yeon continued speaking, completely ignoring Ban Yu-won’s absurd complaints.
“So, take me as high up the tower as possible, as fast as you can.”
The higher you climb the tower, the stronger the presence becomes.
Even Dokgo Yeon, who is already so strong that he is far different from Ban Yoo-won, feels it so dramatically.
The tower reinforces existence.
―And Dokgoyeon chose Ban Yuwon as the companion who could climb the tower the fastest and most reliably.
Probably from the moment I first met him.
“I would do it even if you didn’t ask me to.”
“Okay, the goal is to crush that fake before graduation.”
One of the transcendent beings representing the academy, Dokgo Yeon, who nonchalantly discussed the idea of crushing Ryu Cheol-myeong, the unmanned being who was considered the strongest along with Yumi, in just 5 years.
Ban Yu-won was confident that she could really do it.
“All students, gather here.”
When it was time for the lecture to start, Ryu Cheol-myeong gathered the students together.
Aside from the four students in the Ban Yu-won group, there were six other students taking this class, and somehow I had seen all of their faces somewhere.
All of them were students belonging to class 1.
“Lucain Rownpalomer Equinas Ortima! I have been looking forward to having a student listen to my lectures. There is nothing more enjoyable than teaching one who has a promised future as a Transcendent.”
“Thank you, Professor Ryu Cheol-myeong.”
The leader was, of course, Lucien Ortima, and it was clear that he had lost his arm and was a different person, as he only glanced at Dokgoyeon and didn’t really pick a fight with them.
But, since he is attending this lecture, there is no way to know what he might have discussed with Cantone and Ryu Cheol-myeong beforehand.
“Then I will begin the lecture.”
Ban Yu-won stroked the jeweled flower brooch on his chest and prepared himself to use the cheat key at any time.
Ryu Cheol-myeong said.
“What do you think of Aura? Aura is the soul. With strong belief in oneself and constant effort, a warrior can control the power of the soul, and the visualization of this power is Aura.”
In fact, Ban Yu-won had initially thought quite seriously that this lecture might help his development in martial arts, regardless of his intentions with Ryu Cheol-myeong.
The basic martial arts course was a worthless course to take, and if I could come into contact with a martial artist who had reached a high level during that time—even if that martial artist had ill intentions toward me or not—I thought I could gain enlightenment about martial arts by dealing with him.
Moreover, I was curious as to what exactly an aura was.
‘Dokgo Yeon tried to cover it up by saying it wasn’t the time to know yet.’
And it seemed like there was still no change in that thought.
Look at it now.

While Ryu Cheol-myeong was talking about his own philosophy on Auror, wasn’t he looking back at Ban Yu-won and slowly shaking his head?
It’s a sign telling you not to listen because it’s meaningless.
‘No, is this just a sign that what that kid said is wrong?’
It’s something I’ve felt for some time now, but Dokgo Yeon has a firm sense of pride in martial arts and never compromises.
He even tells Ban Yu-won to follow his words as his top priority when learning martial arts.
As if something big would happen if he learned dancing from someone else.
‘Well, there’s no way Dokgoyeon would mean that much to me.’
It’s probably simply because I have great pride in my own abilities.
Anyway, since Ban Yu-won wasn’t the kind of person who would listen carefully to what Dokgo Yeon told him not to, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Ryu Cheol-myeong, but he activated his skill of listening with one ear and letting it go out the other, trying not to remember what he said.
“―Therefore, the best way to awaken the aura is to get close to and observe the auras of others, and become familiar with them. That is to stimulate the soul with the power of the soul.”
With those words, Ryu Cheol-myeong lifted up his greatsword that had been stuck in the grassland.
And— Hap! With a single shout, he created an aura several meters in size that burned above him.
“Ohhhhh!”
“That’s great, Professor!”
“This is Professor Jeong’s aura… …!”
Come on.
When I asked Dokgo Yeon before, he reluctantly answered, “The purification of internal energy,” with a look in his eyes that said, “What would you use it for now?”
But the crimson aura that was now before my eyes felt overwhelming and huge.
A weight that seemed to cover the entire sky, just like when Ryu Cheol-myeong was active in Gelas, where he had previously done special activities.
If asked to describe what he felt in that aura, Ban Yu-won would only say two words.
The sky, and the weight.
‘But strangely enough, what you see in Mandok is neither of those two things. It’s just magic, overwhelming magic.’
However, if we continue to observe like this, it seems that we might be able to figure out the structure of the magical power that makes up Ryu Cheol-myeong’s aura.
Even if you don’t listen to what he says, it’s okay to observe his aura.
I looked at Dokgoyeon with that kind of meaning, but before that.
“Student Ban Yu-won, forward.”
Ryu Cheol-myeong called Ban Yu-won’s name first.
“Today, we will have a demonstration time so that each individual can feel the aura intimately. Student Ban Yu-won, next.”
Indeed. Is this how it starts?
Ban Yu-won stepped forward without looking back.
Ruchel grabbed his hand in surprise, but he patted the back of her hand and made her let go.
“Should I draw my weapon?”
“No, it’s just a demonstration to feel the aura, so there’s no need to be afraid.”
“So, can I take it that you are not actually attacking me?”
“Of course. I’m just trying to help you feel the aura as closely as possible.”
“Okay, I won’t get hurt.”
Perhaps because he thought Ban Yu-won was repeating the same thing, Ryu Cheol-myeong nodded with a slight frown.
But that is a somewhat anti-Jewish remark.
Action was also taken at the same time.
―There’s no way a fool who doesn’t even know who created this barrier would have noticed it.
‘Yeah, just like this, you can activate the spell. I’d like to watch from the side, but… … Can you do it? Are you going to do it like this?’
Why is it that Yumi’s attitude towards her is gradually changing to that of a younger brother?
Ban Yu-won sighed softly as he recalled the conversation he had with Yumi yesterday.
“It’s quite leisurely. With Aura right in front of you.”
“Because you said you wouldn’t hurt me, Professor. Aren’t you the best Auror in the Academy?”
“Are you scared? Come a little closer.”
Why do these motherf*ckers always ignore my answers and talk about something else?
Ban Yu-won smiled and took a step forward.
At that moment, Ryu Cheol-myeong’s greatsword split the world in half and fell on Ban Yu-won’s head.
“Can you feel it?”
Ryu Cheol-myeong spoke in a trembling voice.
The greatsword of the one with the crimson aura was stopped on Ban Yu-won’s head.
It was no lie that he was both a master of aura and a master of martial arts, the blade was really not even 0.01 centimeters away from his head.
If Ryu Cheol-myeong had applied just a little more force to his sword, Ban Yu-won’s head would have been split in half and he would have died.
“I’m not sure yet.”
Is it because they are fearless or because they don’t understand the situation?
Ban Yu-won answered with a calm expression and tilted his head.
“Can I ask you a little more?”
“As much as you want.”
I guess he thought it was a bluff.
The next moment, the greatsword passed in front of Ban Yu-won’s chest.
It brushed the tip of his nose vertically and stopped in front of his shoes.
Even though he wasn’t fighting, he mixed in some fake moves and swung his sword in completely unexpected trajectories.
They all stopped half a step before touching Ban Yoo-won’s body, which made the students watching nervous.
“Geueueuu… … . Yuwon, my Yuwon… … !”
Especially in Ruchel’s case, he felt a great deal of anger upon seeing it, as nearly half of his hair had turned black.
“Calm down, beast. The half-moon is not yours.”
“Eeeeek!”
Dokgo Yeon stood up and held her back to prevent her from running away, but even Dokgo Yeon was secretly shocked by Ryu Cheol-myeong’s actions.
‘I was trying to do something, and the only thing I could come up with was this farce.’
The fear that comes from a great sword carrying a massive aura flying towards you, threatening your life.
Even Ryu Cheol-myeong’s overwhelming momentum was enough to make even Dokgo Yeon mistake it for a true murderous intent at the moment of his attack.
If Dokgo Yeon had been there, would he have been able to stand there calmly like Ban Yu-won right now?
It could have been possible. She is confident in distinguishing between the real and the fake, as she has crossed the line of death more times than anyone else.
But he would have been tense all over his body, ready to counterattack at any time.
‘You picked the wrong opponent, you sl*t.’
On the other hand, what about the anti-Yu-won?
The most appropriate word to describe him now is ‘natural body’.
Because they are not prepared for battle and are maintaining a calm attitude as if nothing is happening.
Dokgoyeon knew very well that he really wasn’t nervous.
That’s understandable, since his ‘eyes’ are more accurate than anyone else in this academy.
“You’re really… fearless!”
Little did he know that a student was laughing at him.
Ryu Cheol-myeong said, gritting his teeth inwardly.
Ban Yu-won’s attitude was far beyond his imagination.
For Ryu Cheol-myeong, who had no doubt that there were few people stronger than him in the entire dimension, the presence of Ban Yu-won, who watched without blinking an eye the slaughter he unleashed with his life force, was excessively irritating.
-Saaa
To the point where I unconsciously added strength to the hand holding the sword.
Just slightly, just enough to burn the student’s head as the aura failed to control its heat.
However, the great sword that was swung with excessive force and the aura that covered it did not harm Ban Yu-won.
-Jjaeng!
A noise like a window breaking.
Ban Yu-won, who had not even a single hair on his head damaged, tilted his head again as he faced Ryu Cheol-myeong, who was glaring at him with a bewildered expression.
“Hmm, did you just fail to control your strength?”
“You, just now… …was that magic?”
“Huh? What kind of magic are you saying I used…? During the professor’s demonstration just now, was there anything I ‘had to do to use magic’?”
Ryu Cheol-myeong is not stupid.
Even though he saw the magic being activated right before his eyes, there was no way he wouldn’t have realized that he had used advanced defensive magic.
But I can’t argue with that.
Because before he could question him about the magic he just used, he would have to admit that he had miscontrolled his powers.
Only then do I realize why Ban Yu-won had made that remark earlier.
The reason he couldn’t control his anger was because Cheon Ge, who was from a lower dimension, had not only dared to see through his intentions, but was also trying to guide his words and actions.
“You, you… … .”
“Why are you like that? You could show me a little more.”
Ban Yu-won remained completely calm even when the great sword was placed on top of his head.
Perhaps on purpose, she pushed her chest forward a little… … to emphasize the sparkling jewel flower brooch.
“Are you going to continue?”
Ban Yu-won asked Ryu Cheol-myeong.
Ryu Cheol-myeong gritted his teeth, put away his sword, and ordered Ban Yu-won to return to his place.
As expected, he was an idiot.
Ban yuwon be like : You underestimate my power.
