Admission is a waste of time (124)
Lesson 25. When you go away, you miss it – 5
The moment the letter was set on fire, the change occurred immediately.
Strangely enough, the path they had taken as the carriage passed them by quickly as if it were being rewound.
Suddenly, everything became blurred and disintegrated, and at the end, the background emerged again.
“Oh, it’s coming. The waves of crustaceans are coming soon!”
“Reinforcements? Reinforcements from the neighboring city aren’t coming? How could that be!”
“You damn bastards, you don’t know about this crisis—this city is finished! It’s finished!”
“It’s too late to run away. Ah, look down the hill. I can already see their shells reflecting the light… …!”
-Room 39.
The Ban Yu-won group stood in the middle of a city in chaos.
“Ban, my student ID card seems a little weird.”
“It says I have room 39, so it’s okay.”
Is this really what happens when you blatantly activate a trigger that seems obvious?
As I’ve experienced before, multi-shifting by skipping multiple rooms at once greatly increases the difficulty of the rooms that await you afterward.
So, this time, the multi-shift they experienced was set to the difficulty level of Room 39 by combining the omitted Rooms 35, 36, 37, and 38.
“What on earth have you done… … !”
“The city is in chaos.”
Dokgo Yeon spoke with a cool, calm expression, looking around, next to Light, who was in a daze after going through a shift that skipped five rooms.
“It doesn’t seem like the right atmosphere to mix with these humans and do anything.”
“I showed a lot of that in the last video, so I tried to boldly omit it this time.”
Even listening to the screams of people coming from all over the place, you could tell that the crisis facing this city was going to hit without any delay.
If it had proceeded normally in Room 35, it might have shown an epic feat of gathering the strength of many people to deal with waves of monsters―but that would have been uninteresting and just dragged on.
More than anything, Ban Yu-won was confident that with the current strength of his party, they would be able to easily overcome the waves of monsters on the lower floors of the tower.
“I think it’s overly impulsive and reckless.”
“Tell me that it’s the producer’s soul.”
“I’m sorry, mercenaries!”
It was then that a soldier with a strong aura stood out from among the city soldiers who were trying to control the civilians who were running around in confusion.
Ban Yu-won guessed that he would not know the details without investigating the power several times, but he estimated that it was a holder of around 300 lives.
Even at that level, Erecto at the beginning of his schooling is considered a strong opponent that can be easily defeated!
“It’s something to be thankful for, that you’ve come to our aid in this time of chaos, but the city is currently in such turmoil that we can’t even properly welcome you… … .”
As the NPC popped out, the eyes of the Rebellion members all turned to Ban Yu-won.
No, that Light bastard says he’ll treat NPCs like people, but when it comes to actually having a conversation with them, he ends up relying on me!
He stepped forward, grumbling inwardly but maintaining a composed expression on the outside.
“We don’t care. We didn’t come here expecting a big treat. We just came here to give you strength.”
“How can this be! There are still good men like you among the mercenaries. You came to a place where you never knew when you would die, yet you didn’t expect anything in return… … .”
“Of course, if you give it to me, I wouldn’t refuse it… … but that is.”
If they treat them as mercenaries, they’ll have to give them some measure of respect.
Ban Yu-won was confident that the soldier facing them had some degree of authority, so he decided to just give them a quick word.
“When this disaster has passed and we have all survived, let’s talk again then.”
“Hahaha, this is the first time I’ve met such a generous person. … … Let’s survive.”
The soldier who shook hands with Ban Yu-won with a serious expression turned around and shouted in anger.
“All soldiers, gather! Seal all the gates of the city and prepare for the wave! We must prevent infection from the wave, so we must evacuate the citizens to safety by force!”
“Oh, he really was a soldier like a general.”
Ban Yu-won is calmly amazed as he sees the soldiers all moving briskly at the sound of the soldier’s shout.
Light approached him with a very complicated expression and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“I trust you, Ban. Are you serious when you say we can reduce casualties?”
“Of course, I’m not lying. If you drag in the neighboring city, it’s like a disaster already predicted at that point. The monsters would have been easier to stop, but the conflict between the humans and the infected would have definitely caused a bigger mess.”
I don’t lie.
However, some are hidden and some are exaggerated.
“Ugh— Even if I think about it, it seems like that. But this is only if we can cleanly block the monsters coming from outside.”
“That’s where the situation ends. The compensation will be greater as well.”
“――That’s right! There’s no need to increase the sacrifices of innocent people. Let’s block the wave together!”
Light clenched his fists and shouted, “Oh!” as if his spirits were lifted by Ban Yu-won’s words.
That’s why it’s easy for fools.
Ban Yu-won gradually began to think that it might be nice to be given a title like Light Master.
“Declaring to Ban Yu-won that I would treat NPCs like people ended up strangling me… … Idiot.”
“I know how the light will come out and I prepare my persuasion accordingly… … Idiot.”
The Rebellion party ascended the city walls without any resistance.
This city, whose name was not yet known, was built on a mountainside, and although it was not a large city of the size of a capital city, it was more than capable of supporting a population of tens of thousands.
Behind it was a rocky mountain with no trees or signs of life, and near the city was a lake, so it was a terrain that could be called a place with mountains in front and water in the back.
‘Actually, that mountain is twisted and dried, so it’s strange to call it Baesan Imsu… … But since the terrain is so rough, you don’t have to worry about monsters coming that way.’
The walls faced three sides except for the mountain at the back, and a deep moat was formed outside the gate with water drawn from the lake to prevent monsters from easily crossing.
And now, all the gates are nailed shut, completely blocking all access from inside and outside.
Ban Yu-won looked at it, thought for a moment, then took out the code core.
“Because if you put on a spell with language, you never know when it will come off. In times like these, a fixed concept is the best.”
If we say that concepts that arise temporarily through emotions or linguistic magic are temporary, fluid concepts that may disappear at any time, then the unchanging concepts that all things contain are called fixed concepts.
To make it easier to distinguish, Ban Yu-won just named it.

[Seal 500]
Among them, the concept of sealing, bong, was something that could surprisingly be easily found around us.
Even the snacks that we commonly eat on Earth are sealed with packaging, letters are sealed, everything in a box is sealed, and more than anything else, you can easily find sealed traps, treasures, passages, etc. inside towers or dungeons.
Since Ban Yu-won had pulled out all of those seals and stored them inside the code core… … it was entirely possible to mass-release this simple yet extremely practical concept.
“Okay, then… … .”
Ban Yu-won gave the concept of a peak of 500 to the entire wall.
At that moment, the walls surrounding the city on three sides began to rise simultaneously, changing their structure.
“uh.”
Ban Yu-won realized that the power and mutation that had been dormant within his body had awakened.
I didn’t expect this.
[The concept of sealing is given to the city walls of Erathon. The mutant power is manifested, and the concept of ‘blocking’ is added to the walls!]
[Mutation depth has reached 30!]
In one breath, a solid wall that seemed difficult to break through even with modern weapons was completed!
“Oh, ohhh.”
“What the hell is going on, Ban?”
“Uhhh. Maybe, maybe… … .”
Ban Yu-won weakly activated his photon magic as a test, and fired a beam of light at the castle wall.
Then, the light beam did not penetrate the wall and just fell down!
Ban Yu-won carefully observed the process of concept disappearance and came to a conclusion.
“As expected, it was the ability to block waves. It would be able to block not only light, but all waves.”
“wave?”
“Infection wave. I’ve seen it before, but the infection that occurs in monster waves spreads in waves.”
Ban Yu-won recalled the massive monster wave he had witnessed during his first special activity.
Could it be that the memory of witnessing the infection that caused humans to turn into monsters spread in waves remained in Ban Yu-won’s subconscious, and that this time, he used the power of mutant power to modify the walls in a way that could better block monster waves?
Dokgo Yeon also admired the tall walls as he pounded them with his fists.
“I don’t think that was your intention, but it’s good. It eases the worries of the people inside.”
“Woooooooooooo! Wizard! There’s a wizard in our city!”
The city walls on three sides were simultaneously raised, and even their materials seemed to have been reinforced, so the citizens were shocked and fell over, and the soldiers cheered without even knowing exactly who had remodeled the walls.
Ban Yu-won opened his eyes wide as he looked up from the castle walls, where his field of vision had widened, and saw a herd of crustaceans rushing toward the city.
“It’s almost time. Why are you barging in without even giving me time to eat?”
“That’s right, I told you to go eat earlier… … .”
“Eat this.”
“Father.”
Ban Yu-won stuffed an energy bar into Light’s mouth, who was whining like a dog that was thirsty.
Then, he made four life candies on the spot and distributed one to everyone and kept one for himself.
“Let’s spread out and take charge of one side each. Can you all do it?”
“Um, um… I might be a little tired. Lend me Eve.”
“Okay, I understand. Eve?”
At Light’s honest confession, Ban Yu-won snickered and stroked Eve’s chin, who had her arm wrapped around him.
“Shishishit.”
Eve was a little bit upset, as if she didn’t want to be separated from Ban Yu-won, but she knew that thanks to the existence of the Rain Sword that Ban Yu-won had recently created, she didn’t have to stick close to Ban Yu-won and protect him, so she quickly released herself into the air and landed on Light’s head.
“Whoa.”
“If necessary, I will help you by transforming into Tike or the Rain Sword.”
“… … Isn’t this too much of a scam?”
“That’s why I’ve been holding back on my activities lately. But this time, I guess I can go wild a little.”
“Shishit, shishit.”
“So cute… … Wait a minute.”
Light, who had been completely immersed in Eve, suddenly let out a voice of realization.
“There are walls on three sides. So there’s no need for all four of you to disperse, right?”
“Huh? What are you talking about, Light?”
Dokgo Yeon said in a pitiful tone.
“Look at that rugged rocky mountain behind the city. You won’t find any monsters there.”
“Yeah, so there’s no wall either―”
“It’s the perfect condition to hit the back of the head of people who thought that way.”
“Oh my god.”
No matter how much I think about it, it seems like Dokgo Yeon also has a taste for teasing Light.
Ban Yu-won snickered and spoke to Dokgo Yeon.
“In that sense, please take good care of it. If it were me, I would probably send the strongest guy over there.”
“I see. You’re the one who’s good at it. This is a fight where if you break through once, it’s over.”
“I told you I knew.”
At that moment, the faint cry of a crustacean began to echo from down the hill.
The group all raised their heads, looked at each other, nodded once, and then dispersed in all directions.
– I mean, in times like this, magic would probably be good, right?
“I think so too. I wouldn’t be so stubborn as to do something like this.”
Ban Yu-won smiled and responded to Selon, who jumped out into the air and appealed to him as soon as he was left alone.
“But before that, let’s make something together.”
-Hey… …What are you thinking about again?
“Service that comes to you.”
I took out the Portkey, a bracelet with a teleportation spell that I had put in my inventory earlier.
That weapon, imbued with thick magic, was sparkling with charm even at this moment… … It had a magical quality that seemed to captivate both humans and monsters.
-That’s what it is.
Ban Yu-won was thinking of modifying it to use it as a weapon for forced space movement… no, not as a weapon for the Mingdo Zanwolpa.
