Admission is a waste of time (129)
Lesson 26. Pushing away when getting close – 4
Dokgoyeon tamed Dolsan… … the mountain that Top named [Living Mount].
That wasn’t her intention.
He succeeded in recalling the memory of a time when he was a living mountain that was thoroughly defeated by beings infinitely weaker than himself and remained as a strong natural barrier protecting the human city, and he swore loyalty to Dokgoyeon, who helped him regain his good self.
Even if you heard this story, no one would know what it was about, and even Ban Yu-won couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“How on earth?”
“Well, since it was so big, I was wondering where to kill it, and then a notification from the tower called ‘Achievement’ appeared. Then my level went up, and this mountain followed me.”
achievements.
I see, if you get the achievement, you can tame the mountain.
The group just nodded with the same dumbfounded expression.
I realized anew that Dokgo Yeon was a monster who was on a different track from them.
If it were Ban Yu-won, before he thought of killing the mountain, he would have thought of planting dynamite inside it and detonating it.
“So what are we going to do about this…?”
“Isn’t there a function to shrink it or something?”
“Ban, San is not a dragon. He can’t do things like polymorph into a humanoid.”
“If a still stone mountain comes to life and moves, can’t it be organized into polymorphs?”
Couldn’t do it.
But it was difficult to leave him here… … Ban Yu-won looked up at the huge rock mountain that he had to tilt his head back more than 90 degrees to see the top of and made a difficult expression.
If you multiply mass by acceleration, you get force.
If this mountain were to fall forward, it would be able to crush anyone except a monster like Dokgo Yeon, so it would be a shame to throw away a living, moving, and mass weapon that obeys our will.
“Oh, come to think of it, there was a phrase like this in a book I found at the library.”
At that time, Light, who was more knowledgeable than anyone else in this place when it came to common sense about useless towers, clapped his hands and said.
“When you do quests in the tower, you can create friendly monsters. Those monsters can be met later in other rooms with a rare chance of being of help.”
“When did you investigate that?”
“I wanted to know more about the person in the tower… … NPC. So while the amulet that helped me study still had its effect, I went to the library and looked through some related books.”
Although he would kill anyone who opposed him without mercy, Light’s feelings towards the NPCs of the tower were very serious!
Ban Yu-won nodded, as if he was convinced by his words.
“The rooms we cleared in the past affect the rooms that will appear in the future… … I expected that, but even friendly monsters.”
“Hmm, so you’re saying we shouldn’t kill them and just leave them alone?”
Dokgo Yeon glanced at the stone mountain with a somewhat regretful expression.
Ban Yu-won said.
“No, let’s take it anyway.”
Dokgoyeon looked back at him with a puzzled expression.
“Ban-Yu-Won? Are you planning on putting this in your inventory?”
“No, inventory isn’t omnipotent either.”
His followers seem to be able to fit in somehow, but this Living Mount is not only not one of his followers, but it is also too big!
so…….
“Take this. It’s not Teacher’s Day, but it’s a gift.”
Ban Yu-won handed Dokgo Yeon a bracelet with a subspace that the constellation’s controller had personally mentioned earlier, saying, “If it’s that mountain, how can you put it in?”
At first, the bracelet didn’t look that pretty because it was made up of a bunch of dazzling jewels, but through the process of being processed by the power of the constellations, it became thinner and prettier, and now it was the right size for a woman to wear on her wrist.
“Huh?!”
“Ah, ahh… … ?”
“Ban, you.”
However, Dokgo Yeon looked flustered as if he had misunderstood something, Ruchel opened his mouth in shock, and Light trembled.
“Perhaps this is the promised response?” said Ban Yu-won, astonished.
“Check the information, Dokgoyeon.”
“… … Ahem. I will gratefully accept it.”
Dokgo Yeon, who guessed what Ban Yu-won meant by that, obediently accepted the bracelet and checked it.
Then he tilted his head and looked back at Ban Yu-won, and the meaning of his actions was clear.
“There’s no immediate danger. I’ll go out and have Professor Yumina check on the subspace.”
“Then… … Okay. I don’t know if it will work, but I’ll give it a try.”
Instead of wearing a pair of bracelets divided between each hand, Dokgo Yeon put the two bracelets on top of each other and wore them on her left arm.
And when I reached out my hand wearing the bracelet to the living mount… … surprisingly, the mountain disappeared!
“like.”
“This is real.”
Ban Yu-won, who had actually handed over the bracelet, muttered in surprise.
Of course, Lucelle and Light looked even more surprised, but Dokgoyeon, who tried to reach out to Light, nodded solemnly and took his hand away.
“It seems that you can’t enter the subspace if you don’t have ownership. I was hoping that you would be able to block all attacks coming from a distance like Ban Yu-won… … I guess that’s impossible.”
“Dokgoyeon, did you just try to put me in a subspace without saying anything?!”
“That’s right. It’s just a joke.”
“you……!”
Angry Light and Dokgo Yeon playing with that Light.
Ruchel looked at Dokgoyeon and groaned with envy, but soon he took a deep breath and calmed himself down while touching his own hand.
I had a rough idea of what he was thinking, so I decided to leave him alone.
“Your Majesty!”
“The mercenaries who defeated the monster wave are over there!”
“Great Mage! Great Mage!”

At this point, when even the living, moving mountains had disappeared, they were finally certain that the monster wave had ended. The soldiers guarding the wall rushed in all at once and began calling out the names of Ban Yu-won and his group.
Of course, among them, the proportion of voices calling out ‘Great Mage’ was overwhelmingly high.
The cheers grew louder as Ban Yu-won waved at them with a bitter smile.
Along with that, a notification that he had not noticed before appeared before his eyes.
[The achievements of the Great Mage have been reflected, and the depth of honor has become 200. The depth of the soul has become 800.]
“… … .”
I understood that Honor could grow by 50 in an instant.
But it was incredibly surprising that his soul depth grew by 30 points in an instant.
The deeper the concept, the slower it grows.
So, isn’t it a completely different matter whether 150 honor becomes 200 or 770 souls becomes 800?
The story was that the achievement he had just made was that great.
‘Not only that… I don’t know if it’s because my soul has grown or my honor has grown.’
Somewhere vaguely, I felt like my magical powers had become stronger than before.
Ban Yu-won experimented by creating a light ball on his palm and floating it.
And I realized that the time it took from the image to the creation of the light sphere, as well as the mana and mental power consumed for that, had clearly decreased compared to before.
“Celone, did you know?”
―That’s what achievements are. Why do you think the descendants of prestigious families who have built up their reputations over a long period of time are strong? It’s all the power that comes from the achievements accumulated in the family over the generations.
“I’ll teach you quickly.”
Ban Yu-won strongly felt why honor was important.
This makes the Rebellion Channel even more important as it helps his reputation grow little by little every day!
Wait, then what was the achievement that brought him so much fame last time?
Since your magic has been strengthened by obtaining the Great Mage’s achievement, the achievement you obtained last time should have strengthened something as well.
―Is it something to do with the giant? When you blew up the bracelet and defeated the monster earlier, it felt a bit too smooth.
“Is that so? We’ll see.”
Ban Yu-won sighed softly.
In this room, I just used magic because I thought it would be more useful, and I ended up achieving this feat.
Should I somehow resolve the situation with a sword from now on? Or should I just change my major to magic?
“Your Majesty!”
A middle-aged soldier ran up to Ban Yu-won, who was once again contemplating a career path he thought he had already decided on.
Now that I look at it, it was the same soldier who greeted them when they first entered Room 39.
He opened his mouth as if he was extremely moved by the great victory that he could not have even imagined when he had initially prepared for a defensive battle, and he seemed ready to kneel before Ban Yu-won at any moment.
“The prize money has been prepared! We are also planning to hold a celebration to celebrate our victory, so please join us… …!”
“Ah! … … Are you leaving right away this time too, Ban?”
“No way.”
Ban Yu-won shook his head at Light’s question.
Last time, there was something behind him that made him turn around and run away without even looking back even though he showed him the king’s face, but this time it’s different.
“It’s time to take a break anyway, and rather than going to the 40-room Eden to sleep, let’s just hang out here and rest for a night.”
“half……!”
Light’s eyes sparkle and he looks moved.
Ban Yu-won looked at him and smiled, then raised his head and looked at Tike, who was still taking pictures of the ground.
Footage of a festival taking place in the city after successfully fending off a wave of monsters… … .
This is sold!
* * *
After the all-night festival, the Rebellion party followed the leader of the party to the mansion where the lord was staying.
However, they could not find the lord, so the sergeant major checked several times to make sure no one was around and guided them to a secret room hidden inside the mansion.
“Oh my, how can this be… … .”
“Wow… … .”
There was a huge amount of gold piled up there.
“It’s a secret that there was gold in our city. In fact, the lord embezzled the gold from a mine that was in a territorial dispute with the neighboring city… … .”
“And then you thought well of getting support from the neighboring city.”
Indeed, I could roughly guess how the story would have unfolded from Room 35.
Wouldn’t it be a mystery novel about the whereabouts of the missing gold?
However, because the Rebellion party boldly gave up their support and took the 39th room bare-handed, the gold remained in the secret location, and the neighboring city was destroyed.
“So, who is the lord who stole this gold?”
“It’s a sudden death. If this gold remains in our territory, it will only cause conflict, so I would like you mercenaries to take it all.”
“Thank you, us.”
Perhaps it was the sergeant’s decision to hand over the gold.
Ban Yu-won decided not to ask, out of courtesy, what kind of sudden death process the lord had gone through, and quietly took the gold.
The amount was a whopping 200 kilograms.
A whopping sum of money, roughly seven times the amount of gold consumed when Ban Yu-won made a living by saying he would turn a box of copper into a box of gold!
“I think I understand why people hang themselves on the Tower of Babel. Such wealth comes out so easily… … .”
“I’ll collect the gold in bulk for now. If you need it later, just tell me.”
“Oh, all mine are from the amusement park.”
“I’m going to take it home during the vacation. Wouldn’t this be helpful to our king… and family?”
I decided to put Ruchel and Wright’s comments aside for now.
Dokgo Yeon also looked bewildered by the gold that was suddenly thrust in front of him.
“It’s disconcerting. I thought there would be a tower reward that would lead directly to growth since it was the price for skipping five rooms― but I never thought it would come in kind.”
Dokgo Yeon was dumbfounded, but Ban Yu-won seemed to understand.
“Since you can gain enough experience points and achievements by clearing rooms, isn’t it actually well balanced?”
“That’s an extremely consequential statement. … … I’ve leveled up, so that’s good enough.”
“me too!”
“Me too… … Ah, half.”
“Don’t look at me with that ‘What am I going to do when I can’t level up?’ look, Light. Because I’ve become a lot stronger, too.”
By the way, the pile of concepts that Tyche had gathered from all directions were unfortunately of low purity for Ban Yu-won, who had grown greatly by absorbing a large amount of depth from the constellations.
So, Ban Yu-won neatly adjusted his life to 650 and his stamina to 400, and distributed the rest to his subordinates. He then stored the remaining life, magic power, and shell in his core.
“Dokgoyeon, look. All the raindrops from the Heavy Rain Sword have the concept of reaching 200 Life and 200 Magic Sword. Isn’t that cool?”
“I have no idea how great that is.”
It would be shocking and shocking to see Ban Yu-won, who first came to the academy with a level 5 goblin club, faint.
Ban Yu-won, saddened by the reality that he had nowhere to show off the greatness of the clan he had worked so hard to raise, left the city with his group.
I was secretly worried and excited about what I would do if I caught them leaving, but since everyone in the city was drunk and passed out, I was able to leave quietly.
“Ah―――Look at that, Ban!”
The 40-room Eden had everything that the 30-room Eden I had previously stayed in had.
What the Ban Yu-won group faced there was a reality they absolutely did not want to acknowledge.
Light screamed.
“The frame of the statue is silver!”
“No, Light. This isn’t just silver… … .”
Dokgoyeon calmly checked the outer surface of the box and declared.
“It’s platinum.”
Platinum, or platinum.
In fact, platinum is a precious metal cheaper than gold by today’s standards, but Ban Yu-won was more familiar with the system that used the in-game rank, that is, the Bsilgolple, as a standard for strength, rather than the actual price of precious metals.
“It’s a precious metal. More importantly, it’s a concept that doesn’t exist in the reward system we learned at the Tower.”
Ban Yu-won nodded in agreement at the meaningful gaze Dokgo Yeon sent him.
This treasure chest, made of copper and platinum, is of a higher grade than the 30-room reward!
“Ticket, are you taking the picture correctly? Alright. This is going to be another mess.”
“Ban, can I open it? This time, I can open it, right?”
I had an illusion of a tail wagging from Light’s butt, not even Suin’s.
If he had mastered changeling, he would have tried it once, but this time he didn’t have the confidence to break through the tower’s security, so Ban Yu-won readily allowed him to open the treasure chest.
“Ah… … This is it.”
But Light, who had been very excited, looked clearly disappointed when he saw the contents of the box.
“why?”
“It’s armor. Full plate armor at that.”
I couldn’t understand why the armor was a cause for disappointment.
That would be the case, since Light was the only member of Rebellion who wore armor every time he entered the tower.
Metal armor that provides solid protection for key areas, although it may not be full plate.
Light explained the history of the armor he was wearing to Ban Yu-won, who was tilting his head.
“This is our king’s… … family’s armor.”
Since everyone knows it, just call it a kingdom.
“So I don’t plan on wearing anything but my own armor. So the armor from the box… …Ban, I think it would be better for you to wear it.”
“huh?”
“I’ve been feeling uneasy since before. All three of you are wearing only your school uniforms whenever you enter the tower! Dokgoyeon won’t get hurt anyway, and Ruchel gets bigger every time he fights, so wearing armor would only be a hindrance, but Ban, you’re not? It looks like a nice piece of equipment, so you should wear it.”
“Light… … .”
In fact, since he had been secretly attracted to the idea of a half-moon-shaped armor, he felt grateful to Light for willingly giving up the armor to him.
When he looked back at the group to see if it was okay for him to receive it, Ruchel lightly sparked and appealed to them that he had received the reward from Room 30, and Dokgoyeon just waved his left hand once with an annoyed expression.
It appealed to the floating bracelet worn on the wrist.
Cutely enough.
“Thank you, Light. I’ll make sure to give you the next reward.”
“Try it on quickly.”
“Oh, no.”
Ban Yu-won shook his head in denial.
Light tilts his head, not understanding what it means.
Ban Yu-won smiled and said while checking the condition of the armor he had received.
“Nobody will wear this.”
Now that I have the concept of evil, there is something I want to create.
It was just a good thing at exactly the right time.
