Admission is a waste of time (134)
Lesson 28. Flower Play of Destruction – 1
Ban Yu-won realized through his hard work with Shati that eating anything raw would cause problems.
No, to be exact, I should say that it was a lot of work to roast it so that it was easy to eat every day since it couldn’t be eaten raw.
“Hoooo… … Kyahahaha, are you satisfied now?”
Shati said with a pale face.
“If you squeeze any more out of me, all that will come out of me are tears, snot, and… … .”
“Shati, stop. That’s it.”
Outside the academy, inside a suitable dungeon.
I was worried that something unexpected might happen due to the monster summoning, so I went into the dungeon and checked the surroundings before using the summoning magic. As expected, it was a bigger problem than I had imagined.
“So, were there any results?”
“Yes, it happened… … As expected, nothing is easy.”
First of all, the biggest problem was that Shati couldn’t perfectly figure out what was being summoned by her magic.
No matter what, there was no one strong enough to fight Shati, Mira, and Banyuwon at the same time, but since there were always guys with unique characteristics that showed up, I had to mentally prepare myself to face them.
It wasn’t a fun time where Ban Yu-won could immediately absorb the concept by summoning the monster as he had initially expected.
“It would be nice if there were… … Kyahat, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to summon something so carefree. It reminds me of the days when I trained to somehow control monsters… … .”
“Come here, Shati. Let me pat your head.”
“Miraaaa!”
Another problem was that the magical power and mental power consumed for summoning magic was not insignificant.
Although there is a way to replenish magic power, there is no answer to the exhaustion of mental power without resting in a resting place like Eden or at least eating elixir jam.
Seeing the exhausted student council president, who had fearlessly paid the price for making a promise to her junior, leaning against Mira in a tattered state, it was clear how much mental power the summoning magic drained.
“Senior, please take a spoonful of this.”
“Oh? Is this the one Mira often brags about… … Ohhhh!”
In the end, Ban Yu-won gave Shati a spoonful of the elixir jam, ‘Extreme Potion’, made in Room 30.
This elixir jam is most effective when first consumed, and while it boasts excellent effects, it can cause diarrhea if consumed too frequently. Due to its properties, even Rebellion members cannot consume it on a daily basis, and instead, it is occasionally shared with others, as is the case now.
Of course, all the club members also took a spoonful. The video of their reactions was also a huge hit.
“Kyahahahahahaha! Totally resurrected!”
And Shati’s reaction wasn’t much different from theirs.
The next moment, as she sat upright, savoring the jam, a splendid array of stars danced in her eyes without any exaggeration.
“It’s incomparable to any potion I’ve ever tried in my life! Are you the only one who’s had such good things so far? It’s disappointing, sob.”
Meanwhile, Mira, who had been receiving elixir jam from him regularly since signing the contract with Ban Yu-won (it felt like a kind of in-house welfare service), pushed her friend’s forehead, who had regained his energy, with a snicker.
“You and I are the same? If you’re jealous, you should sign a contract with Yuwon too.”
“Ugh, you’re offering a contract to the Evil One… …!”
While the two were playing around, Ban Yu-won checked the depth of the concepts he had gathered from the results of his hard work.
In some ways it was as expected, but in other ways it was disappointing and left me sighing.
[Murder 37, Blood 18, Evil 8, Misfortune 6, Corruption 5, Death 1.7]
Monsters summoned from a special dimension called [Demon World] usually appear with these ominous concepts within their bodies. These are the biggest factors that strengthen them, but at the same time, if you extract them as pure concepts, their depth becomes shallow, making them extremely difficult to collect.
Moreover, while collecting evil and mischievous things from the monsters of the Demon World, I have come to realize that even if the form of the concept is the same, if you look at the detailed concepts, they can be completely different.
Of course, the depth is depth, but compared to what was stolen from the controller of the constellation, the brightness of the light and the ability were somewhat lacking.
‘But since the base concept is the power of the constellations, it wouldn’t be bad to use it as a supplement to that.’
Just as it may be difficult to initially acquire a concept, it is not so difficult to grow it.
Once the basic concept was solid, adding flesh to it was no problem, even if it was a more sloppy concept.
‘however…….’
While collecting the evil and ugly things that could be said to be the main purpose, Ban Yu-won learned something by looking at other concepts that came along with it.
First of all, the most gained are murder and blood.
Coincidentally, the sword of the beheader had both of these concepts from the beginning.
Decapitator’s Longsword [Magic Sword 200, Murder 94, Blood Poison 75, Slash 50, Resonance 35]
This was the concept that the current sword of the beheader contained.
At one time, concepts such as melting (融) and skewering (串) were included, but most of them were absorbed into other concepts that make up the magic sword, and in the end, only these bold concepts remained.
Among these, the important ones are the concepts of murder and blood poisoning.
Murder only grows steadily when killing non-monster humans (including NPCs in the tower) with the Decapitator’s Longsword, and as this concept grows, the power and killing intent of the sword increases when dealing with humans.
Blood poison was a unique concept of the so-called Decapitator’s Sword that Ban-yu-won had never discovered, despite having experienced many other concepts while crossing dimensions, which increased the sword’s power by drawing out the blood of the other person and wrapping it around the sword.
‘You’ve had the same concept from the beginning as monsters in the Demon World… … As expected, the Decapitator’s Longsword is an exceptional artifact.’
Even though the depth of the concept has been steadily increasing with the ability of the half-universal to handle concepts, the fact that it has been able to use an Earth-made object that is only of a lower dimension proves the extraordinary history of this sword.
‘You could reinforce the Decapitator’s Sword by adding blood and flesh, but… … Let’s think about this later. There might be a better concept of combination. Corruption, this is also unique, but it’s of no use right now, so let’s just leave it in the code core.’
There were other notable concepts as well.
That was the concept of death.
This is a concept that only a very small number of monsters have, and even when added to what I got when the World Giant I encountered in my previous solo exploration committed suicide, the depth was only 2.7.
It seems all the more special for that reason― but it is also a concept that is not easily accessible.
I don’t have the confidence to control things right now, so I wonder how best to deal with this…
Perhaps the most effective way to use it is to use it as a means of attacking enemies by releasing it like a language spell, but it would be a waste to waste it like that.
‘Ah, isn’t this something we can study in Orb’s space?!’
“Yuwon, it’s night now… … Is there still work to do in Ronica? Or… … .”
“huh?”
Just as Ban Yu-won was coming up with a brilliant idea, Mira came up to him and asked him something, but then she cautiously grabbed his hand while looking at his expression.
Then she brought her lips close to his ear and whispered.
“The two of us, let’s go to a bar.”
The pointed ears of the fairy speaking those words were bright red.

When I was with Ruchel, we were stimulated by each other and approached each other boldly, but at times like these, there was no other innocent girl like me.
However, her downfall was that there were more than just Ban Yoo-won in this place.
“Wow, it looks like you’re naturally excluding me. They say friendship is useless in front of men, but I didn’t expect that to happen to Mira too!”
“Shati, you… … .”
“No, let’s go back today.”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t attracted to her offer.
I’m a little reluctant to drink and go out on weekdays.
I also noticed Light’s gaze as we shared the same room.
More than anything, I wanted to keep my mind strong this week since there were special activities.
“Let’s drink next time, on a holiday instead.”
“……promise.”
“Okay. Oh, can you help me again next time, Senior Shati?”
“Huh? If the timing is right, then of course I can. Next time, the two of us, without Mira—just kidding, evil one joke! Kyahahaha!”
Ban Yu-won thought quietly as he watched the student council president, Shati, laughing heartily while teasing Mira without getting tired.
She said she wasn’t very good at summoning magic, but from what I’ve observed from spending the whole day with her… well…
I thought that maybe I could help her master her abilities while collecting her own concepts, but I couldn’t get her to expect anything without being sure, so I decided to figure it out on my own.
* * *
This week, special team activities were scheduled.
Even if we include all the associate professors, there aren’t enough people to take charge of one first-year team each.
So most of them grouped together into a few teams and assigned one leader to ensure that they could complete the quest on the same level.
Of course, Rebellion didn’t have that, and Yumina was supposed to be leading it.
“Now, the place we’re going this time is a star called ‘Uraha’ located in the F-138 dimension.”
After school on Thursdays, gather in a classroom with no doors.
The Rebellion members had time to preview the dimension they would be leaving for tomorrow.
“I explained the dimensional ranks, right? The many dimensions connected to the Union Net through the Tower of Babel are organized in order of mana density. The ten dimensions ruled by the ten families are classified as S-rank, and then go down in ABC order.”
All the special class members, including Lucien Ortima, are S-ranks, so I laughed out loud because it was so ridiculous.
However, it was an undeniable fact that the average magical power held by the members of a dimension varied depending on the magical power density of that dimension.
“The F-138 dimension is the 138th dimension in the F-class, which is the seventh from the top, and can be said to have the lowest mana density. In fact, when it comes to the F-class, it’s not that different, it’s just a number for convenience.”
“The way we distinguish between dimensions shows how obsessed people are with magic.”
To put it more simply, the F-138 dimension is an absurdly insignificant subdimension.
It is said that the reason their special activities are carried out in the F-138 dimension is not because they discriminate against special admissions, but because the first special activities of first-year students are originally carried out in such an easy place.
“There won’t be anything difficult. The mission type is simple subjugation. It’s not even a monster wave, but a simple task of defeating a large group of monsters that have appeared in a country belonging to Uraha. Since it’s spring in that country, the flowers are in full bloom, so I think we’ll go see the flowers.”
“But I remember hearing something like that during the previous extracurricular activity and going there and encountering some dimensional pirates.”
“If something like that happens again, I will strangle the principal.”
The members were silent and couldn’t even make a sound at the sight of Yumina smiling brightly and saying scary things so casually.
Oh, by the way, according to this dimensional ranking standard, Earth, the origin of Banyuwon, was an ‘out-of-the-rank’ country that had no mana at all and was not even measured for its ranking.
“What about you?”
Suddenly, Ban Yu-won became curious about the dimensions of the other Rebellion members who were said to be from lower dimensions, and looked around at the group and asked.
“I don’t know. I don’t care about any standards imposed from outside.”
“I am… … in the D-13 dimension. In this dimension, aside from our ‘star’, there are quite a few stars that have established mana civilizations, so we have even organized a resistance alliance to respond to alien invasions. … … Sometimes, conflicts arise within it.”
Unlike Dokgo Yeon, who denied the dimensional level with disgust, Light smiled bitterly and explained honestly.
Well, Light had already been quite knowledgeable about interdimensional things, so it was only natural that he would know the level of the dimension he belonged to.
“Now that I think about it, there isn’t just one star per dimension. It’s starting to get bigger.”
Wasn’t the Earth originally just a planet in our solar system, part of our galaxy, located in a corner of the vast universe?
It was dizzying to think that the dimension where other students lived was also a vast universe.
“No, Ban Yu-won. The universe is one.”
Yumina, who saw Ban Yu-won’s eyes spinning around, intervened.
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. No one can fully understand the space of the universe, but the principal has concluded that the universe is one vast space, and all dimensions are included in it. You will learn about it in your liberal arts courses in the second semester, but… … Let’s do a quick preview now.”
Yumina reached out into the air and created a sphere with her visualized magic power.
“This is called the universe. Perhaps the universe was once one whole. But at some point, the universe began to split apart. A boundary called a ‘dimensional wall’ appeared, and it changed to a point where it could not be crossed by the concept of physical distance.”
As Yumina waved her hands around, cracks appeared here and there in the sphere, and it split into dozens or hundreds of pieces in an instant.
On the surface it still appeared to be one sphere, but at the same time it was a collection of hundreds of pieces.
Ban Yu-won looked at it and asked.
“Are you saying that each of those pieces separated by the dimensional wall became a different dimension?”
“That’s correct. One thing I’d like to add is that dimensional walls are created at the boundary where the density of mana changes. This naturally creates a distinction between upper and lower dimensions.”
Just as hot and cold water have different densities and do not mix, the dimensions of high and low density of mana also do not mix and are separated.
However, unlike water, if you put hot water and cold water together, they will eventually mix completely and become lukewarm water―but two dimensions with different densities of mana will never mix due to the existence of the dimensional wall.
“He divided what was one into many, and made them never to be mixed again… … .”
-But why is that?
Ban Yu-won felt that the existence of that dimensional wall was very artificial and at the same time very familiar.
Yumina continued speaking, not noticing his thoughts.
“Of course, even dimensional walls can’t completely stop the movement of mana. That’s why mana is created in dimensions where there was no mana at all. Dimensional movement technology was also born after researching ways to cross dimensional walls.”
Most of them simply copied the technology of the Tower of Babel, Yumina added.
“It’s a simple story, isn’t it? Just because it’s a different dimension doesn’t mean you have to feel so vaguely distant. In the end, it’s just a neighbor with a somewhat difficult wall between them.”
“When you organize it like that, it really doesn’t seem like much.”
“That’s right. Especially for those of you who are climbing the Tower of Babel, the birthplace of the power to transcend all dimensional walls.”
Yumina’s eyes sparkled gently.
“It’s just a meaningless distinction. You’ve already surpassed the wall. The reason the students at the higher levels hate you is because they think you’ve taken away everything they used to enjoy as their own privilege.”
No one gave it to them, and it wasn’t something that was only allowed for them――.
It is truly foolish and regrettable.
As Ban Yu-won spoke, he suddenly became curious about something as he saw Yu-mi-na smiling arrogantly.
“Professor Yumina, do you happen to know in which dimension you were born?”
“Well, that’s―”
Maybe you were expecting that question to come up?
Yumina smiled playfully and blinked.
“I’ll tell you when we’re alone.”
Ban Yu-won felt like he had already heard the answer.
Additionally, the mood of the Rebellion members who heard those words became very bad.
