Admission is a waste of time (106)
Lesson 23. Even if it’s a lie – 1
Ban Yu-won looked up at the tower with a rather emotional expression on his face.
Friday morning.
As a member of Rebellion, I want to challenge for the top.
“I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the tower.”
“It’s actually only been three weeks.”
“If you go up to the tower, at least there won’t be any bitches targeting Yuwon… … .”
“Ruchel, speech, speech.”
It had been a long time since he had been in the top with this member, but since he had been in the student council and clubs a lot, he had a lot of feelings about it.
“I think this member is the one who feels the best.”
“You’re right. Yesterday, you left us behind and went out drinking with the student council members.”
Ban Yu-won snickered at Light’s still-freaking mind about what happened yesterday.
“Isn’t it because you meet other people that you come to know how precious you are?”
“If only your tongue was long… … Today, you won’t have any use for that smooth-rolling tongue, Ban Yu-won.”
“Oh, right. That’s right.”
Hearing Dokgo Yeon’s words, which seemed to convey a firm determination, Ban Yu-won also remembered what had happened three weeks ago.
At the end of the 23-room trial that was conducted purely through ‘words’, did they end up getting away without resolving the situation?
Ban Yoo-won thought it was her fault for saying mean things to the members, but Dokgo Yeon was blaming herself.
“Go in and kill all the enemies you see with your own eyes. That’s how you end Room 23. Are you all convinced?”
“I just follow whatever Yuwon says.”
“Me too… … As long as no one gets killed. It was bad last time.”
Dokgo Yeon’s determination that even feels venomous, Ruchel who simply endlessly affirms Ban Yu-won, and Light who still can’t see NPCs as NPCs.
With a bitter smile on his face, Ban Yu-won entered the tower with his group, thinking that it might be difficult to expect Light to be active in rooms where NPCs appear for the time being.
The shift happened and we reached room 23 right away.
“―We have to kill that guy too!”
“But it’s almost nighttime. How about we disband for today and continue the trial tomorrow?”
“Hey, you guys, speak up too. Doesn’t that guy look suspicious?”
In the rapidly changing scenery, the voices of people talking could be heard loudly.
The environment was the same as when they first came out of the tower.
I knew from Yumina that the Trick Room, where the conditions and rules for the environment, location, etc. were specified in detail, would not allow time to pass even if they left the tower in the middle, but I was still a little worried, so I felt somewhat relieved.
“Okay, everyone calm down.”
Ban Yu-won opened his mouth.
I thought I would calm down a bit in the situation where the corpses of those who had been ‘tried’ were scattered here and there, but surprisingly, I could see that everyone’s eyes were suddenly focused on Ban Yu-won.
It’s not just because of the power in his voice.
As each person was hung, regardless of whether they were criminals or innocent civilians, Ban Yu-won’s influence among the citizens (and of course the others, including Dokgo Yeon) grew.
As a result, it has gotten to the point where if you point out Ban Yoo-won as the culprit, that person really is the culprit.
“I finally realized, through the process of claiming a few unavoidable victims, how to perfectly distinguish the innocent from the real culprit.”
“Oh, ohhh!”
“Yes. The deaths of the innocent civilians who were sacrificed in the trial were not in vain. Thanks to them, we were able to catch and punish all the evildoers hiding in this city!”
Dokgoyeon had told me not to even think about using my tongue, but there was no need to hold back on my words when I could easily finish the job with just a few words!
“That’s what I thought! Those evil criminals were hanging citizens with false evidence!”
“And he figured out how to discern the lie!”
Originally, when brainwashing becomes severe, even if they find errors in the situation and logic, they tend to try to fit them into the situation.
Moreover, if you lightly solidify the evidence there… … .
Ban Yu-won stretched out his finger and unleashed the elemental magic Ice Bullet, which he was currently researching as a means to combine with swordsmanship.
-Phew
The structure is an extremely simple bullet-shaped ice cube.
Since the location of occurrence is the tip of the pendulum’s finger, there is no delay, and since the direction of movement is the same as the direction in which he extended his finger, there is no delay either.
Originally, elemental magic was faster to activate the simpler the shape and coordinate settings, so the current ice bullet was completed as a result of seeking a powerful magic that could be created as quickly as possible!
As for why it’s ice, it’s because he absorbed so much from the frost giants last week that it’s the most powerful element he can control.
“Huh, huh?”
“Dead!”
No one except the Rebellion members would have seen what just popped out of his fingers.
To people’s eyes, it would have seemed as if he had simply stretched out his finger and someone in that direction suddenly collapsed.
The problem is what happened after that.
The person’s corpse was dyed pitch black and a sticky magical energy was oozing out of it.
“He really was a murderer!”
“The murderer is dead!”
[Takes 1 judgement and 0.1 stigmata.]
Ban Yu-won smiled with satisfaction as he confirmed the concept he had absorbed from the killer.
The speed and power of the ice bullet are impeccable, and the ability to discern good and evil in Mandok-an is also certain. It is also very good that the rules of Trick Room do not activate even when killing people without warning.
There was no need for a proper investigation, and if I just found the black guys and killed them all, I could pass this room.
“Do you see? Thanks to the sacrifices of the innocent people who passed away before us, we can now only track down and kill the murderer!”
“Ohhhhhhh!”
“You have truly come to save our city!”
“Thank you, thank you… … !”
“It is clear that you have made a contract with the righteous constellation!”

The citizens who had been wary of him and firing warning shots when they first saw him were now bowing their heads in half-worship of him.
And the criminals hidden among them – the contractors of the constellation – were clearly acting suspiciously, suspecting that Ban Yu-won was really recognizing them.
“This can’t be happening!”
finally.
A man with a voice that sounded familiar stepped forward and shouted.
“Aren’t you judging people arbitrarily? Are you sacrificing innocent people? And in the end, you even go as far as to kill people arbitrarily! The person who died now is a murderer, but can you be sure that the next one will be a murderer too?”
I remembered.
He is the man, neither an angel nor a girl, who invaded a small town with Dokgo Yeon on a night and prayed to the constellations while moving alone.
“What do you want to do?”
“Get back! We have to kill all the murderers before night falls!”
“This can never happen! We can no longer create innocent victims here! Justice must be served rightly and honorably!”
The man stood in front of Ban Yu-won, gritting his teeth and shouting.
I didn’t know for sure, but I looked at him with my eyes wide open just in case, and without a doubt, he was pure white.
Of course, a man who wanders around in the middle of the night looking for murderers with only the power to take a pill could not possibly be a criminal.
I thought that a man who was not a murderer and could move at night, a contractor of the constellation, would not just sit back and do nothing.
I thought about it, but… … .
-Thud, thud!
[Takes Judgement 2 and Stigmata 0.2.]
Ban Yu-won then fired two more ice bullets, killing both of the killers.
His stigmata, which had been at 9.8 due to the concept he gained from defeating a murderer earlier, suddenly increased to 10, solidifying his presence within Ban Yu-won’s body.
Not only did the power of the concept itself increase, but my understanding of the concept also deepened overnight.
He intuitively realized that he could now apply this stigmata to ‘any ability’.
A fundamental force that connects all things, completely separate from magic power.
In a way, it was a mystical power that had something in common with his authority.
“You said innocent victims? Are you still saying that after seeing the murderers who are now dead?”
But stigmata are stigmata, and clearing Room 23 comes first.
Ban Yu-won saw that two more people had died before he could stop them, and he snickered as he watched the man trembling.
“You are the one who is blocking the execution of justice. I don’t know what your sense of duty is, but right now, you are putting this city at risk.”
“Aren’t you just using your powers to frame a murderer? Maybe you really are a murderer!”
The man closed the distance between himself and the man, preventing him from pointing his finger at the criminals.
What really annoys me is that there is a rule in this trick room that says ‘you must not attack the innocent’, so even if it was not intentional, you cannot harm an innocent person.
I don’t know how much it would take without testing it, but even if he were to be subdued, it would be against the rules of the Trick Room if he were to use force.
“That’s nonsense!”
“The person I serve is speaking! There is no trace of the constellation on the author! Everyone must wake up, the author is committing fraud!”
―The constellation [Breath of Life] snorts.
―The constellation [Toy Corps Clock] bursts into laughter, saying that it is also a contractor for the constellation that has been copied.
The constellations that supported him were laughing at him for being so weak that they couldn’t even read the traces of the constellations in him, but Ban Yu-won thought that maybe that wasn’t the case.
Could it be that he committed fraud in the process of obtaining the unconditional support of the constellations, so that no trace of the support can be recognized?
“We have to stop that author… …! He’s a fraud!”
“You’re the one who’s helping to uncover the culprit, so don’t just step forward!”
“Ignore that guy and find the murderers! If we keep going like this, night will come!”
“Eww!”
But fortunately, instead of Ban Yu-won, the citizens who came forward caught the man.
Just as Ban Yu-won was about to turn his body and point his finger at the hiding criminals,
A giant wing of light sprouted from behind the man, and all the humans who had been restraining him were thrown out into the surrounding area.
-I can’t admit it.
It was a voice that was completely different from just a moment ago.
―You are going to pass through this space full of irrationality, ignoring my contractor with an authority that even I, the constellation, cannot understand? Do you think I cooperated with the tower to suffer such an outrage?
“Holy… … .”
A man speaking with a choked voice, flapping his wings and flying into the sky, no, a constellation borrowing the body of a man.
Everyone, including Ban Yu-won, looked up at him with blank expressions.
Meanwhile, there were others who were noticeably nervous about the constellation’s appearance: the murderers whose bodies appeared to have been dyed black.
―Night does not come until justice is served.
The sun rose again in the sky where the sun had set.
―Let’s put off judgment on you guys for a moment.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Ugh!”
Pure white thorns sprouted from the feet of the five remaining murderers, restraining them in place. At the same time, the thorns grew around their entire bodies, forming a protective shield that prevented others from attacking them.
In other words, the intention is to prevent Ban Yoo-won from clearing Room 23 by killing criminals.
-The trial will begin again. From now on, you are the criminals.
The moment the constellation made its declaration, Ban Yu-won felt darkness descending over himself and his party.
The Rebellion party, as seen by their ability to discern good and evil, were now all evildoers!
I knew it would be of that type when I saw the contractor’s abilities, but I never thought it would really be the constellation that governs ‘sin’.
But, for such a constellation to create sinners at will, wasn’t it not like I had any right to point out anything to Ban Yu-won earlier!
‘And what’s more vicious is…’
The man who appears to be in the constellation is still as pale as ever.
You’re calling me a good person who just made me a bad person? It’s just ridiculous.
However, the power that they exercised also served as a hint to Ban Yu-won.
‘It just so happens that I have a similar ability.’
His eyes sparkled.
The 16 concepts of judgment embedded in the body radiate a dazzling light, covered in dizziness and stigmata.
However, this alone is not enough.
So he added a curse to it and asked Celon for help.
-Wait a minute, I’ll join too.
But at the moment when Ban Yu-won began to weave his magic, the voice of another constellation intervened.
―I never thought it would materialize on such a low level. I guess I’ll have to live a long life to see it.
The bodies of the arrested criminals all at once melted into a black, sticky mucus, and before anyone could stop them, they all merged into one living creature.
The voice was coming from there.
An appearance closer to that of a beast than a human, emitting an aura as strong as that of a man flying with wings.
Yes, a monster that literally looks like a werewolf.
-What do you call this situation?
The dumbfounded Celon muttered while composing a magic formula.
Ban Yu-won whispered quietly so that only she could hear.
“What a mess, man. What a mess.”
