Admission is a waste of time (121)
Lesson 25. When you go away, you miss it – 2
Alex de Cantone and Ryu Cheol-myeong.
The two men shared the unique idea of being chosen people from a higher dimension and had maintained a fairly good relationship up until now.
But this time, something unexpected caused a bit of a rift in their relationship.
“Professor Ryu Cheol-myeong, I trusted you… … What do you mean you’re just going to help them further strengthen their position?”
“So, are you going to blame me?”
Ryu Cheol-myeong’s tone as he spoke to Cantone was extremely nervous.
Who would have known that Ryu Cheol-myeong would master the art of Ban Yu-won?
Those from lower dimensions are inferior, and even if they seem to have somewhat superior abilities, their filthy nature will eventually be revealed and they will inevitably fall.
I’ve lived with that belief for hundreds of years, and now I’m getting backlash for trying to prove it.
‘Someday soon, he will eventually fall. Those born in lowly circumstances will eventually reach their limit of advancement. But until then, he will somewhat mislead people. It was me who was caught in that trap… … Damn it!’
Furthermore, because of this incident, it became known within the academy what he had been doing to the students, and not only Yumina, but also the other professors looked at him with disapproval.
Ironically, since Ban Yu-won had achieved results, Ryu Cheol-myeong was not immediately held accountable, but from now on, he would have to be careful during class.
“What’s the blame… … Let’s just pretend that what we talked about never happened.”
Ryu Cheol-myeong snickered at Cantone’s words.
“Are you going to cut off the tail? Are you worried that this will turn out badly?”
“That’s not it. It means that we should forget about the conversation between us and that Professor Ryu Cheol-myeong doesn’t have to worry about him anymore.”
A sinister smile appeared on Cantone’s lips.
“It was my failure to try to turn back too much. Sometimes, you need to step on the worms that climb up without knowing their place, without regard for the consequences.”
“Tread on it? How? Are you planning to move the student and have him fight? Professor Yumina won’t let you stay still.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. Just forget about it. From this moment on, there has been absolutely no conversation between us.”
Ryu Cheol-myeong sensed something very ominous in Cantone’s voice.
Realizing intuitively that he shouldn’t dig too deep, he took a step back.
“If you tell me to forget, I will. … … However, you must not forget that the president is not an easy person.”
“Of course I keep that in mind. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come out of the academy, set up a barrier, and had a conversation.”
The barrier created by Cantone’s psychic power was so strong that even Ryu Cheol-myeong’s aura could not easily break it, and it was famous for blocking any concept that Cantone wanted to block according to his will.
Conversely, he was very useful in situations where he had to distinguish between ‘friends’ and ‘enemies’, as he could freely pass through whatever he wanted to pass through…
Now he was saying that the president was his enemy.
“Ah… … Okay.”
Ryu Cheol-myeong, who had sensed an ominous aura from Cantone and was moving away from him, deciding not to get involved with him, suddenly stopped and spoke.
“I don’t know what you’re planning to do, but I hope those two women don’t die.”
“hmm?”
“If it’s hard, then at least that… … white-haired woman. If you could even pack it for me so that I can take it, that would be perfect. I’m ready to pay the price.”
“Ha, hahaha.”
Cantone burst into laughter when he realized what Ryu Cheol-myeong was talking about.
Ryu Cheol-myeong didn’t seem particularly angry and just quietly waited for his answer.
Of course, the answer was yes.
“Okay, let’s do that. I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of reward Professor Ryu Cheol-myeong will prepare.”
“Okay. Of course, let’s forget about this conversation. Then, I look forward to the day when we can see each other again with good faces.”
“Me too.”
After exposing each other to their ugly faces and engaging in vulgar conversation, the two parted ways with a polite and noble greeting.
For them, that was what honor and dignity were.
When you feel suffocated, throw it away, and pick it up and wear it over your head only when you need it.
* * *
On Friday of the 8th week, the Rebellion party shifted to Room 31 and made their way through several rooms without much difficulty.
It’s easy to forget that every time they enter the tower, something serious happens, but the place they’re exploring right now is the lower floors.
The quest room that continued from the 23rd floor was overly strange, so it was natural for a normal room without even a simple trick to appear.
“It still doesn’t seem like the level of difficulty is obvious though.”
“I would be surprised if no elite showed up in the room now.”
Room 31, Room 32, Room 33.
Each one of them had a strength that did not match their status as a low-level party member and attacked the party, but the Rebellion party, each of whom had the strength of a top-level party member, easily overcame them.
[Absorbs 0.1 Life, 0.1 Flesh, 0.08 Demon Beast, and 0.05 Shell. Demon Beast and Shell are concepts that humans cannot possess.]
As if to prove that the difficulty level was not that high, the depth of concepts that Ban Yu-won gained was not that high.
Despite clearing three rooms over four hours, Ban Yu-won’s life had only grown by two from his depth of 582 before entering the tower, to 584.
“Ah, that’s it. While you were doing a low-level difficulty dungeon, you suddenly entered an event dungeon that gave you experience points and items, and when you returned to your original hunting ground, it looked like your experience point efficiency was ruined.”
“I don’t know about that, so let’s fight.”
So, will we be able to surpass 600 lives in this expedition?
The number 600 had a special meaning to Ban Yu-won.
This is because the life value that Aneri Dedota, the dimensional mercenary he met in Gelas, ‘revealed’ to him was 600.
Of course, I know now that that wasn’t her strength.
She had been hiding her presence and real abilities through some means, and the power of Ban Yu-won, who should have seen through even that originally, was only able to see the superficial appearance she had created due to their brief contact.
‘Let’s say 600 is the starting point.’
Ban Yu-won judged that the minimum standard for being able to act as a capable person without being ashamed of showing off one’s skills was 600.
In fact, all Rebellion members were already close to 600 life points (Ruchel, Light) or far beyond that (Dokgoyeon) upon enrolling.
‘Unlike me, who had only just begun to awaken to my abilities, these guys entered the academy with strength that could truly overwhelm elites of the highest level. Of course, they’ve learned various techniques and explored the tower, and they’ve become much stronger than when they first entered the academy… ‘
Still, it was very meaningful for Ban Yu-won to catch up with the level of the Rebellion members at the time of his admission.
-Kwaaaaaaaah!

“So let’s get rid of these sloppy things quickly, quickly… … !”
Ban Yu-won muttered as he faced the elite monster, a roaring bear-shaped crustacean with the horns and shell of a longicorn beetle on its head, kicking the ground and rushing at it.
“Huh.”
A crustacean that charges forward with its horns out.
He charged towards the bastard, aiming for his head, and displayed his flowing skills. He extended one hand and struck the bastard’s horn diagonally, and then in an instant, he placed his hand on the bastard’s head and lightly jumped, landing on his back.
-Cruck?!
When moving reflexively, most monsters reveal a large vulnerability.
For example, at this very moment, the guy was so nervous about the presence of the hunter behind him that he twisted his body with excessive force―.
Ban Yu-won was able to use that guy’s power to his advantage and easily stab him with a sword that contained the magic of rebellion.
Before he knew it, the golden string of characters that said [Penetration] was clearly floating above the blade of the sword he was holding.
-Kahak!
Phew—as naturally as a sword was sheathed, the beheader’s longsword pierced the crustacean’s neck.
Even though he was an elite who appeared in a room with an unusual difficulty, he was defeated with one blow!
The bastard’s neck is a vital point that can lead to death simply by being pierced, but at the same time, it is an extremely strong area because the carapace blocks it.
However, Ban Yu-won was able to finish him off in one breath without feeling any resistance because he had used the magic of penetration and the language magic of anti- and anti- penetration that he had been preparing to give to his sword.
[Absorbs Life 0.7, Flesh 0.5, Beast 0.3, and Shell 1. Beast and Shell are concepts that humans cannot possess.]
This was the first stage of his language magic in close combat, an attack assist, which he had perfected after much agony.
―Your language magic is practically an omnipotent weapon, so just by applying appropriate buffs to yourself and your weapons, you can increase your power by one level or more… … . It’s much weaker than magic, though!
Selon, who had been reluctant to engage in close combat since the time when Ban Yu-won had attacked Gandalf with his previous staff, spoke with a somewhat husky voice.
He snickered and countered Celon’s statement.
‘But it has the advantage of being efficient because it consumes less mana. It’s also quick to apply.’
For example, if you simply create and manifest the language magic called [Penetration], whether or not you can pierce your opponent is purely determined by the amount of magical power contained in [Penetration].
However, if a sword is added to it, and if it is a sword that thrusts at the target with full force, then naturally the amount of magical power required will be drastically reduced.
– It’s still a long way to go. If you’re a wizard, you can just shoot from afar even if you’re somewhat slow, but if you’re going to engage in close combat yourself, you need to know how to instantly manifest language magic at the timing of splitting 1 second into ten and then splitting it into ten again.
‘Just say one hundredth of a second.’
Ban Yu-won also knew that he had not yet perfected the timing of his movements and the manifestation of his magic language.
However, when he first learned the language magic, it took him more than 3 seconds to draw a single word and have it manifest, so he said that he was much better now compared to that time.
‘It’s magic that manifests based on magical language, but there’s no need to draw it out externally. I can complete it within myself and manifest it directly to the target at the time I want to manifest it. For now, this is enough.’
As you become more comfortable with it, you will be able to apply verbal magic to every moment of your movement – blocking or countering enemy attacks, dodging and dashing, leaping and attacking.
The linguistic magic that is expressed through his entire body, weapons, and all the artifacts he handles will make him more complete and powerful!
“That was great, Yuwon!”
“Ruchel, do you think things are starting to take shape now?”
Ruchel, who had dealt with his share of elites and was running, clapped his hands with sparkling eyes upon seeing Ban Yu-won’s attack.
“Pure attack power is catching up with us… …! Not just in technique, but also in brute force!”
It seems that Ruchel was also thinking the same thoughts that Ban Yu-won was thinking earlier.
Ban Yu-won nodded his head, secretly pleased at the sight of Ruchel rejoicing without any selfish intentions. On the other side, Dokgo Yeon and Light, who had been dealing with the remaining elites, were seen walking towards him, chatting away after finishing their battle.
“what’s the matter?”
“Light’s movements were much lighter today. That’s why I was complimenting him.”
“You said earlier that you pulled out the holy sword while I wasn’t looking… … .”
Light, who has been deeply concerned about his own path these days, also seems to have improved his skills a lot in the past week.
By the way, Light knew how to use Auror from the moment he entered the Academy.
The form was closer to that of Ryu Cheol-myeong than Dokgo Yeon, a crude aura created by ‘compressing all the magic power available’, but he definitely had a knack for creating auras, as he could create and swing an aura around with a sword or a spear without any problems.
Of course, he was also under Dokgoyeon’s control and was unable to use his aura right now.
“But since I started holding the window, I’ve been moving unnaturally, as if I was moving a body that wasn’t my own, but today was different. Did you gain some kind of insight?”
“Oh, that’s… … that might be true.”
Light responds to Dokgoyeon’s question with a somewhat awkward expression, and for some reason, he looks at Ban Yuwon’s expression.
Ban Yu-won tilted his head, but decided to leave it alone, thinking that if he had something to say, he would just say it on his own.
However, he was a little concerned that a concept he couldn’t read had appeared in his mind.
‘I can now fully understand Ruchel’s internal concept… … I guess I need to get closer to Light too.’
If he is to solve the problem he is having, this state cannot be maintained.
You have to know everything about him to be able to do something about that damn necklace!
“So what about Shift?”
“I think I don’t need to rest yet, so I caught them all. Are there any hidden elements?”
The moment Dokgo Yeon said that, Ban Yu-won felt a chill run down the back of his neck.
“You taught me last time about a spell that you absolutely must not memorize.”
“I have no intention of listening to any of that weird nonsense.”
I think I’m going to fall in love with this handsome guy.
But apart from that, the hit rate of the spells she recited was absolutely astonishing.
The next room was also a chain room.
