Admission is a Waste of Time Chapter 130

Admission is a waste of time (130)

Lesson 26. Pushing away when getting close – 5

Dealing with constellations is extremely tiring.

The credit for our shared success goes to the constellations.

Because the fault for common failure is passed on to the contractor.

So Cantone hated his own constellation.

-My foolish contractor.

“Why do you blame me, Yergel?”

Cantone responded to the constellation that was criticizing him with a clear intention in a somewhat sharp voice.

The name Yergel was one of the aliases by which the constellation referred to itself.

―You are foolish because you do not know the qualities of your adversary.

“An opponent? If you mean that thing… … .”

-A thousand?

The voice of the constellation has also risen.

-I warned you. Don’t use that word in front of me.

“But, great Yergel, he is a student from a lower dimension where even mana is not properly distributed.”

―And that student is shaking up the academy right now. I hate Top, but this time I have no choice but to admit that his choice was not wrong.

“No, you are wrong.”

Cantone answered immediately.

“The sand castle he built with his own hands is still standing, but it will eventually collapse when a strong wind blows. It has always been like that.”

-So you’re planning to become a typhoon yourself?

“Oh, great Yergel.”

-I won’t help.

The constellation spoke bluntly.

―This is not for a greater cause, but simply for your own selfish desires. Even so, since you are the contractor, I have lent you a hand once, but not twice. Also, I will not allow you to use my power against him in the future.

“Yes, Yergel!”

―It is your karma, so bear it yourself. And I warn you, contractor. There is a price you owe us. If you look away, you will not be able to pay your debts and you will be suffocated.

“… … I will keep that in mind.”

The constellation’s presence soon disappeared.

And then wait a while – until you have your own space again.

Ppoduk, Cantone ground his teeth.

“Don’t think I’ll keep bowing down. … … It’s me who’ll get the tower, not you guys.”

But Cantone knew that now was not the time to vent his anger.

I had to keep this anger inside me, but for now, I had to keep the lid tightly shut and keep it hidden inside.

It is clear that the only way to reach the top directly is to take a bolder approach, which is a handshake.

Even the constellations were about to let go. It was clearly an unfavorable time for him.

If you succeed, it will be a problem, and if you fail, it will be the worst.

That thing was so annoying, but I had no choice but to leave it alone for now.

‘but…….’

There are still pieces left to move.

Cantone forced a smile onto his face as he recalled Ryu Cheol-myeong’s face, who had been proposing dirty backroom deals to him with lustful eyes.

There were many ways to move that ignorant man.

I heard that you have been doing some pretty dangerous tightrope walking for a while now.

A man who has held out as a full professor at the academy until now, and who only knows how to use a large sword and an Auror.

If he succeeds, it’s good because he can get rid of things that are annoying without lifting a finger.

Even if he fails, it will only mean the disappearance of one more professor who is obsessed with power and women and who is not suited for the academy.

‘I don’t like the idea of ​​having to leave him alone until the holidays come… … but I guess there’s nothing I can do. Let’s wait for the second semester to start. I guess mutual destruction would be fine.’

Anyway, there are so many substitutes that they are overflowing with rot.

Whether professor, student, or constellation―.

The only things that don’t change are the tower and the president.

Cantone’s goal was to change those two things that were considered immutable.

It won’t be long.

Not long ago, it didn’t happen.

Having had enough rest in Room 39, Rebellion went straight to Room 40 after receiving the rewards and then continued to advance to Room 50 over the next two days.

The fact that they weren’t blocked just meant that the Chain Room and Trick Room didn’t appear, but the amount of traps and rotten monsters that would have terrified any normal first-year student was still there.

Nevertheless, Rebellion, who possessed strength that surpassed the average of all first-year students, let alone the average of all first-year students in the Academy, continued to advance without stopping.

Ban Yu-won, who had achieved the Great Mage achievement in Room 39, consciously focused on swordsmanship from Room 41, but of course, there was nothing worth achieving, and he only practiced activating thought acceleration with the concept of acceleration and built up a foundation for martial arts using the Heavy Rain Sword.

Although the treasure chest did not appear in Room 50, the Fruit of Eden was abundant, and Ban Yu-won succeeded in making enough elixir jam to last at least a year, including Room 40, and at a level that was more advanced than before due to his growth.

“If there had been a release, I would have gone up to room 60.”

“If only four could ride.”

“I believe. The release that has absorbed all changes will transform into a battle tank.”

“When you say that, don’t take out the eggs in your inventory for no reason. They won’t hear you anyway.”

On Sunday evening, after finishing their exploration, Rebellion dispersed without a rare reflection meeting.

Since I had just taken a refreshing shower in Room 50, there was no need to stop by the dormitory.

The female lead left for the room first – to be exact, Dokgoyeon dragged away Ruchel, who was trying to cling to Ban Yuwon – and the two remaining people looked at each other.

“Go to your room, Light. I’ll probably eat dinner and then go in.”

Light’s expression frowned slightly.

“Ban, aren’t you going to our room? Do you have another appointment with Professor Yumina?”

Light thought that Yumina was giving Ban Yu-won a job, but at the same time, he was very displeased with it.

“Don’t worry, that’s not it.”

“Then? I just got out of the tower… … .”

Ban Yu-won smiled and explained to Light, who was looking at him with a puzzled look.

“I told you the day before yesterday, I’m going to make armor for you. I’m going to Mira. I need your help.”

“uh…….”

But despite his explanation, Light’s frown only deepened.

It was only then that Ban Yu-won realized that Light had been feeling competitive and inferior to Mira.

“Yeah, that woman. She’ll be helpful in creating artifacts… … .”

“… …Light?”

“Ba, Ban. I’m here.”

When Ban Yu-won was about to say something, surprised by his face darkening noticeably, Light suddenly opened his mouth with a determined expression.

“Actually, I’m a bit close with Aire these days.”

“huh.”

“……so?”

“What’s the matter?”

What are we talking about now?

Is this a showdown between the best friends?

When he tilted his head, Light said with an impatient expression.

“Uh, what do you think?”

“what?”

“I told you I’m close with Aire?”

“so?”

As Ban Yu-won just blinked, Light added, tapping his chest as if he was frustrated.

“We even went out together!”

“I know. We finished training and went out to play together.”

“Did you know?”

“Of course. And light.”

Ban Yu-won, who now understood what Light was trying to say, nodded vigorously and placed a hand on his shoulder.

At that moment, Light’s expression brightened.

“half……!”

“A person’s worth is not determined by the people they hang out with. Being close to Mira doesn’t make me any more special or anything.”

“……huh?”

Although Light clearly had an expression on his face that said, ‘This is not it,’ Ban Yu-won ignored it and continued speaking.

“And you too, Light. Even if you don’t hang out with Aire, you’re still special enough. So don’t worry.”

“Uh, uh… … .”

Light nodded slowly, his face not looking bad, although it was different from what he had expected.

He stepped back with a look of incomplete combustion.

“Come back before the deadline.”

And he asked Ban Yu-won to do it.

“of course.”

“Yeah, and… … I’m not really close with Aire. I just need some help with something. So don’t worry about it. Uh, uh, it’s embarrassing, but.”

Ban Yu-won calmly prepared for the coming shock.

Light, who had been hesitating, finally closed his eyes tightly and spoke.

“I consider you my best friend. That’s what it is, oh, you get it!”

I don’t know what it is!

But without even giving me a chance to ask questions, Light disappeared from that spot.

Ban Yu-won, who was left alone, let out a grand sigh and slumped his shoulders.

Actually, I had a little idea what it was.

‘Is it monopoly desire…?’

Possessiveness doesn’t just occur in romantic relationships.

There are quite a few people who dislike or are concerned about their close friends becoming close with other people, so it was completely understandable as a branch of friendship.

Since telling the story about the kingdom and the holy sword, Light has been feeling particularly obsessed with things like friends and friendship.

‘The only problem is that Light isn’t actually a man.’

If you are going to assert that it is love again, then you should start to deeply consider whether friendship can exist between men and women.

The more I think about this, the more it becomes a problem that seems to cringe!

While Ban Yu-won was scratching the goosebumps on his arm, the merciless Celon intervened and spoke.

―It’s clear that the feelings he has for you aren’t ordinary friendship. It’s something more annoying, sticky, and pathological.

You’re really being too harsh when you say that Light can’t hear you.

Ban Yu-won inwardly sympathized with her words, but made excuses for his friend.

“Maybe not. It’s just that Light has lived for so long hiding himself… … that might be the only way he can express his feelings.”

It was the most sanitized expression possible to say that he probably didn’t have any friends.

-That’s more of a problem.

That’s true.

“If Light becomes friends with Aire, this problem might be solved to some extent… … I’ll think about it later.”

-You call that escapism, you know?

“I don’t know, I’m going to go make armor.”

Just then, a reply came from Mira, saying she would be waiting in the artifact production lab.

Ban Yu-won immediately activated his student ID and headed to the practice room.

* * *

“Haam… … Hello, Yuwon.”

Mira greeted Ban Yu-won wearing a thin cardigan over a silk slip dress.

With a somewhat droopy yawn.

It was a little funny that he was so flawlessly equipped with a Paru.

“Yu-won, I’m sorry, but I can’t stay up all night tonight. I’ll just make one and finish it, okay?”

“No, let’s call it a day.”

It was immediately apparent that the slip dress she was wearing was not for fashion but something she really wore to bed.

It was obvious that as soon as he got a call from Ban Yoo-won while trying to sleep, he would run out wearing only a cardigan.

Ban Yu-won, who realized that, was quick to put an apple in his mouth.

“I’m sorry for calling you for no reason. I knew you were working hard to climb the tower. It was my fault. Let’s rest today and do it tomorrow.”

“Don’t mind the weird stuff.”

But Mira responded to those words with a pout.

“Just because I said I’d give you everything doesn’t mean I’ll really do whatever you say. If it’s something that harms my body, it’ll be detrimental to you in the long run, so I can definitely refuse such a request.”

“But I’m sleepy now.”

“Yeah, I feel a little sleepy.”

Mira said that and added with a leisurely smile.

“So I was thinking it would be nice to see your face before going to bed, and then you contacted me.”

“Now that you’ve seen it, let’s go to sleep, sleep.”

“Since you showed me your face, I should do something too. It wouldn’t be bad to move your body a little before going to bed.”

So Mira twiddled the mallet in her hand, telling him to hurry up and hand over the work.

“But… … Didn’t you come here without changing your clothes on purpose to tell me you were sleepy?”

“I didn’t have time to change clothes.”

“really?”

“Actually, that’s a lie.”

Mira answered honestly.

“I came here because I wanted to show you what I look like in thin clothes.”

“Yeah, it looks really good. Let’s get to work.”

“… … .”

I would have given Mira the answer she wanted, but she seemed dissatisfied for some reason.

“You said you would accept everything, so why do you keep pushing me away like that?”

“Let’s talk about when our contract became so sweet and sweet later. For now, let’s just get to work.”

“… … Okay, I’ll work hard enough that you’ll want to give me a ‘sweet’ reward.”

Mira, who had regained her motivation, soon opened her eyes wide at the sight of the armor in front of her.

“I heard that you got it from Room 40.”

“that’s right.”

“But what’s this… … Hmm, I’ll check the video later.”

Mira, who remembered that the expedition of Ban Yu-won and his party was not ordinary, nodded with a bitter smile, understanding it on her own.

But he couldn’t stay calm even after seeing the changes that occurred when Ban Yu-won reached out to the armor.

“What are you doing, now… … ?”

“I’ve gained a lot from this exploration. I’ve extracted the shell from the crustacean and combined it with the overflowing magic.”

It becomes a magical armor, a magic armor.

In fact, this was the core concept that the artifact we obtained this time had originally possessed.

So, what Ban Yu-won is doing now is not to give something that didn’t exist before, but to greatly expand an existing concept.

Very big.

“Honestly, I’ve gained so much this time. … … In terms of depth of concept, I might surpass the others.”

“I’m not sure about that.”

Mira laughed bitterly as she watched the magic power and surface strength of the armor increase in real time.

“I can understand Professor Campanella’s desire to bring you to the Artifact Creation Department.”

“… … Ugh, I guess this is the limit.”

Even if you separate the shell from the carapace, the depth is almost 1,000, but the depth of the armor in front of you seems to have reached its limit at 600 and did not move.

Still, it is clear that the depth of the core concepts is higher than that of Eve and other clans.

“Then, would you mind doing some processing here? I wish it were possible to do something like this… … .”

“Hmm… … Yeah, ahem. Okay, simple.”

Boom, bang bang! Crunch, bang!

Mira nodded repeatedly at Ban Yu-won’s explanation and struck the armor with her hammer several times.

The magical power of the Paru, which omitted all the manufacturing processes and created the desired result, transformed the armor in an instant.

In the process, the form did not change much, but it was possible to see at a glance that it had the performance desired by Ban Yu-won in terms of functionality.

If Mira hadn’t helped him, he would have had a hard time for a long time!

“so?”

Mira, who had finished her work, looked back at him with a somewhat satisfied expression.

“Anyway, you’re going to make this come alive, right?”

“Of course. In fact, I’m personally looking forward to it more than last time.”

What Ban Yu-won prepared was a pile of shallow raw fish.

A fragment created by tearing off a portion of one’s own soul using the power of the flame.

And the 10 evils are obtained by separating the 20 evils.

“There’s a legend in our world. If a perfectly good piece of armor moves as if it were alive and attacks a human, it’s said that an evil spirit is inside and controlling it… … .”

Living Armor, Living Armor.

Ban Yu-won combined the evil and soul he had in his hands to create it.
