Admission is a waste of time (110)
Lesson 23. Even if it’s a lie – 5
The palace of the ancient kingdom, Sanctum.
Ban Yu-won was sitting with his party in the room the knight had guided them to, drinking tea.
There was no poison in it.
If there are cultists hiding in the palace and we have to repeat the farce we had in Room 24, then it’s not a war with the cultists, it’s a war with the tower.
We will ride the release to the top of the tower, occupy the tower and stage a siege.
“I was worried that it might go up to room 30, but fortunately that’s not the case.”
“I think we might have gone up to room 30 if you hadn’t stepped forward.”
Of course, the structure of rooms that appear in a connection is greatly influenced by the activities in the previous rooms.
A typical example is that in Room 23, the two constellations materialized, and in Room 24, the rumor had already spread widely, causing the atmosphere among the people to become tense.
Ban Yu-won ran wild in every room he was allowed to enter, and the scale of the incident expanded with each room he passed.
If we hadn’t done that, we might still be fighting a war of wits with cultists who are hiding their identities in big cities.
“Don’t lie, Ban. Of the people you’ve met, nearly 60% aren’t religious.”
“Light, look into my eyes.”
“Oh, huh?”
Ban Yu-won’s infinitely serious eyes met Light’s.
“What is the definition of a heretic? They are those who believe in heretical religions. And think about what those who believe in and follow the wings of justice have done to us so far.”
“Uh, uh… … A social gathering, huh?”
“You finally understand!”
“You guys who came all the way to Room 27 to have this conversation are really.”
Just then the door opened and a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire came in.
Considering that the time period of this room is not even medieval, it is a fairly sophisticated uniform.
He looked around the group and fixed his gaze on Ban Yu-won, who was dressed particularly extravagantly.
In room 25, I wore the most gorgeous white clothes I had, emphasizing that I was a contractor for the Constellation of Light, and the red color turned out really well.
“Greetings, Contractor of Light. I am Count Durk, chamberlain to His Majesty the Great King.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“There’s no need to bow your heads. If we hear about your reputation throughout the country, it will make us feel shabby.”
Count Durk was speaking with a moved voice, but Ban Yu-won’s group, who were listening to him, trembled their eyes as they recalled the atrocities Ban Yu-won had committed in the previous room.
The most impressive thing in Room 25 was when Eve created an illusion, causing the Wings of Justice contractor to mistake the Claws of the Dark Forest contractor for a half-wit and attack them.
No, isn’t this crazy guy, Wings of Justice, ignoring his original role in the room (to find and punish the contractors of the Dark Forest’s Claws) and is only trying to catch and kill Ban Yu-won?
So, Ban Yu-won kindly guided me.
So that they can carry out their original purpose!
As a result, not only did they destroy both the [Wings] and [Claws] contractor groups, but they also succeeded in spreading their notoriety throughout the kingdom, so they ended up gaining a huge profit.
‘It was a painful miscalculation that led to the new rule that you can’t use hallucinations… ‘
-You’re so evil, you bad guy.
After mastering photon magic and being able to handle electromagnetic waves including visible light, even if only clumsily, and combining it with Eve’s hallucinatory powers to create illusions that would make anyone blink, Ban Yu-won was reflecting on how he had gotten too excited.
Fortunately, his chamberlain, Count Durk, who couldn’t read his mind, continued speaking in the voice of a moved fan who had just met a rock star he had been a fan of for 30 years and gotten his autograph.
“The pillar of light in the small city of Duola, the eradication of the cult group active in the large city of Melinton, and the resolution of the epidemic in the port city. And… … even the eradication of the pirates that appeared on the route leading to the capital city right before it was called the royal palace. These pirates were also cultists, right?”
“That’s right.”
-They were the contractors of the Wings of Justice.
Perhaps the original scenario in Room 26 was that the [Wings] contractors would ride a boat to chase after the [Claws] contractors heading to the capital, and in the process, they would get entangled with the climbers and engage in cooperative naval battles.
There was also a rule that only applied in Room 26: ‘If you fall into the water, you retire,’ so a fierce fight was expected… … .
Ban Yu-won cleared Room 26 by manipulating the ocean currents with elemental magic to cause the two groups to collide, and then eventually rounding them up and turning them into pirates, sinking them.
Among them, it was very impressive that Dokgo Yeon showed off his lightness and water flying by jumping on water, saying that as long as he didn’t fall into the water, it would be fine.
Light had a hard time stopping him from jumping into the water, saying that even he could do that.
“Wow, this is truly an incredible achievement! I can’t believe we accomplished all this in just one month.”
In reality, it was only two days.
“In these times when infectious diseases are rampant everywhere and cult groups are rampantly harming innocent people every night, I can’t tell you how reassuring it is that a powerful constellation contractor like you has appeared.”
“It’s not just them you have to be careful of, Your Grace.”
Ban Yu-won warned him with a serious expression.
“You must be wary of those who pretend to be my role. They call themselves the contractors of the ‘Wings’ and they wield the power of false light. I was almost fooled when I first met them.”
“Ugh.”
“They claim that their mission is to find and punish cultists, but in reality, they are just cultists with the same roots as them. They pretend to track down cultists and watch over them, allowing them to run wild.”
When Ban Yu-won exaggerated the events that had occurred in Room 24, Count Durk clenched his fists in anger.
“Have you ever seen such… such disgusting people!”
“In reality, they are secretly active throughout the kingdom without revealing their existence. Then, when their tails are stepped on, they reveal their true colors… … They truly wield the power of an evil constellation.”
It is true that the Wing’s contractor does not openly reveal his existence.
If you think about it, in Room 23, wasn’t the Wing Contractor initially moving in hiding without revealing his identity?
I guess that was their limitation.
Just as the Claw Contractors can only reveal their powers at night, the Wing Contractors are bound by the constraint of not being able to reveal their identities to the public and act!
‘Yeah, so you’re getting hit by me.’
If only he had stayed quiet until the end, nothing would have happened, but isn’t it because the constellation, unable to stand being ignored, took action and ended up making the relationship worse?
On the other hand, Ban Yoo-won earned the grand name of Contractor of Light through his activities in Room 24.
It was also quite fun to watch the name value increase as you went through Room 25 and Room 26.
When force cannot be used openly, the one with the loudest voice wins.
And the bigger the name value, the louder the voice!
Now, Ban Yu-won’s voice was louder than the two constellations’ contractors combined.

“I’m thinking of organizing an army.”
Count Durk got to the point.
“His Majesty is determined to eradicate all the cultists. This is all because capable people like you have promised to cooperate.”
“I am honored to be of help. In the name of the constellation I serve, I will lead this temple to victory.”
Ban Yu-won had now become quite familiar with the Light Enchantment (a spell that surrounds an object with light magic. It looks very strong and righteous, but the effect isn’t all that great) and hung it all over the room to create a sacred space.
Tears welled up in Count Durk’s eyes as he felt as if he had been given a revelation directly from God.
“Very strong. If you succeed in eradicating the cultists, His Majesty will personally congratulate you.”
“I am very happy that you trust and rely on a lowly traveler like me.”
“Yes, please take care of it, Brigadier General!”
“Yes! … … Brigadier General?”
* * *
Even if you were able to organize an army, there would still be problems due to the unique rules of Trick Room.
Of these, the rule added in Room 24 is particularly problematic.
-You cannot attack first unless you are attacked.
The rest of the rules aren’t that big of a deal compared to this one.
This rule, which persisted and did not disappear even after going through Room 25 and Room 26, was a rule that only applied to Rebellion members, that is, climbers.
The problem is that both groups, the contractors of the Claws and the Wings, know about this rule.
Even in the case of the 24-room knight, didn’t they weaken him with poison and then attack him out of fear of being counterattacked if they attacked him head-on?
From room 25 onwards, the movements became very blatant, and I tried my best not to attack them directly.
Well, that’s why Ban Yu-won used means such as creating hallucinations or manipulating ocean currents.
“If I give the order for the army to attack and kill those guys, would that be considered a preemptive strike?”
“Wouldn’t that be so?”
It is a good thing that an atmosphere has been created to reject the contractors of the constellation on a national scale, but it is necessary to finish perfectly in order to have a good ending.
It is purely Ban Yu-won’s achievement that the position of the climber, who was originally just a helper for the wing contractors to hunt the claw contractors, has been inflated to this extent.
In that case, we had to think carefully about how to utilize the army we were able to handle and then move forward.
‘The military, how can we use the military? Isn’t this a failure? It would be better if I took care of the contractors myself before the military was organized… … Wait a minute. Organization, organization… … ?’
At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind.
It’s a crazy thought, but if it were possible, I could really finish this room in an instant.
In fact, rooms 24, 25, and 26 were also cleared in the same way.
Ban Yu-won snickered and stood up from his seat.
“I need to go see the chief steward again.”
“Tell me what happened and then go.”
“I wanted to ask if I could have a direct hand in organizing the army. Specifically, the conscription.”
“……wait for a sec.”
Dokgo Yeon’s face froze.
“No, you? That’s not what I’m thinking about right now, is it?”
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Don’t you think we’re a good match for each other?”
“Whoa… …?! Are you crazy?”
“What is it? Hey, what is it!”
Light, who didn’t understand the conversation at all, tilted his head and intervened, but Dokgo Yeon just placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
“Once we get past this Trick Room section, this won’t happen much. So calm down, Dokgoyeon.”
“Okay, okay, let’s finish this quickly… … .”
“Well, what is it?!”
Ban Yu-won went to see the chief of the court and made a suggestion, and the chief of the court readily accepted his request.
And the next day, according to the tower’s time, a national soldier selection audition was held.
An audition to form a legion with the goal of eradicating the rat-like cultists hiding in this country along with the Contractors of Light!
… … Of course, non-attendance was treason.
