Admission is a waste of time (135)
Lesson 28. Flower Play of Destruction – 2
Thinking about it, I hadn’t heard of Ruchel’s origin dimension yet, so I asked her, and she told me her dimension level without much hesitation.
“It’s the E-1 dimension. In our dimension, our star is probably the only star that has achieved mana civilization.”
“1D?! Really?”
“yes.”
While Ruchel was speaking calmly, Light was surprisingly excited.
Why? Even if it’s first place in E-class, isn’t it much worse than D-class?
Light continued to explain excitedly to Ban Yu-won, who was tilting his head.
“No, Ban. 1st dimension is special. It is the dimension that serves as the standard for the corresponding dimension rank. Even if the mana density is the same, the development level is different, and it becomes a representative dimension because the special aspects of the civilization are recognized. At around E-1, it is a dimension where it is easy to produce outstanding talents compared to an average D-rank dimension.”
“Certainly, it’s convincing to see Ruchel, who is from that dimension, here.”
Yumi interrupted Ban Yuwon’s words again and gave additional explanation.
“There are no specific criteria for being selected through special admissions. What is certain is that it is the first time that a student from Ban Yu-won has been selected from the ‘outside’ category.”
“That’s how great Yu-won is. Union Academy’s special admissions process was definitely for Yu-won.”
Ruchel nodded firmly.
Ban Yu-won was grateful for the compliments, but he didn’t feel good about hearing the constant mention of being inferior. He sympathized with Dokgo Yeon’s feelings and changed the subject.
“What was the level of Gelas you went to before?”
“It’s D-39. It’s called Dimension Gelas because the only star in that dimension that has established a mana civilization is Gelas. For the same reason, the F-138 dimension can also be called Uraha.”
“Oh, is it rare for a mana civilization to arise on multiple stars like Light’s home dimension?”
“It’s rare. It’s rare for a civilization to develop on a planet, let alone a mana civilization.”
That’s true too.
Even during the time when Ban Yu-won lived on Earth, it was certain that there was no civilization in the solar system other than Earth, and even when the scope was expanded to our galaxy, it was only assumed that there would be other civilizations, and no traces of other civilizations could be found.
In the past, I thought that it was simply a lack of observation technology that prevented us from discovering aliens, but now after hearing Yumina’s explanation, I think that it might be because we were blocked by a dimensional wall.
“Wait, then isn’t the Light dimension special too… …? There aren’t just one or two Mana civilizations, there are several?”
“It’s still a lower dimension. A weak dimension that’s constantly being harassed by alien invaders. … … It doesn’t even get along well with other stars. If that’s special, I don’t need it.”
Light sneered.
An expression I hadn’t seen much of since I became friends with him.
Ban Yu-won, who was feeling annoyed for no reason, pinched Light’s nose.
“What do you know (what are you doing)!”
“Just cheer up.”
“But why are you pinching your nose!”
Light protested, swatting away Ban Yoo-won’s hand and covering his reddened nose.
Ban Yu-won, who felt much better, gave a thumbs up and replied.
“I think this will be the fastest way to change my mood.”
“This is the worst!”
“I think that the best way to comfort someone is through physical contact that conveys warmth.”
“So why are you being so skinny like this… …!”
But despite his slurring speech, Light actually seemed a little more cheerful.
Fortunately, it was an easy one. Ban Yu-won felt relieved inside and decided to pull out his final weapon at this point.
It was none other than a thermos filled with hot chocolate.
“Come on, drink this and let out your anger.”
“……joy.”
As expected, Light held out his hand without saying anything and accepted the cup of hot chocolate.
“This 50th room will have an upgraded taste, containing the concept of [bloodline] that flowed in Eden.”
Then, two women who had been quietly watching him pour hot chocolate for Light quickly intervened.
“Stop just explaining and give it to me.”
“Blood wine? Could it be alcohol?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you without you having to rush me. I think we’re almost done talking. Let’s all drink together and take our time.”
Ban Yu-won smiled and poured them hot chocolate in turn.
At times like this, I found it even more admirable that Ruchel would wait quietly for her turn without rushing him.
I can never say that because if I say that, all three of them except her will get upset.

On Friday morning, the day of the special activity, the Academy became very busy.
Dozens of small spaceships were waiting at the Academy’s docks, some of which were already departing.
“After learning about the concept of space and dimensions yesterday, there’s something I’m more curious about. What’s the difference between a spaceship and a dimensional ship?”
“I guess you’re confused by the names. They both operate using the same technology to break through dimensional walls. The only difference is that a spaceship looks like a normal airship on the outside, while a dimensional ship hides itself in a dimensional rift, making its true form impossible to confirm.”
indeed.
A spaceship is a normal machine that carries the technology to break through dimensional walls, ‘dimensional travel’.
The story is that a dimensional ship is something that uses dimensional travel technology from the moment it is created, and everything from boarding to operation is done perfectly.
Ban Yu-won, who had thought of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, when he heard the word spaceship, quietly put that thought aside.
“But you’re leaving without even eating our food?”
“It takes some time to break through the dimensional wall using a spaceship. Let’s eat on the spaceship.”
“Then Ban Yu-won, please make the elixir jam into candy.”
“I already finished that yesterday.”
It is also the most recently obtained and most effective life candy made from 50-room fruit.
Even though it was just candy, made by taking a spoonful of jam, rolling it into a ball, pouring syrup on top, and letting it harden, Ban Yu-won knew that Dokgoyeon liked to bite into the jam made into candy rather than eating it as is.
“ruler.”
When Ban Yu-won had handed out candies wrapped in pretty wrapping paper to all the members, Yumina clapped her hands and said.

“It’s our turn. Shall we go?”
Eyes flew from all over the place toward the Rebellion members walking out, led by Yumina.
It was a gaze they felt every Friday when they entered the tower, but the group also knew that the gaze was growing hotter as the days went by.
“It’s Rebellion.”
“Hey, Rebellion over there. Professor Yumina is alone again.”
“Dokgoyeon… … .”
“The half-moon and the pink hair are stuck together again.”
“Tch.”
Now, the first-year students of Union Academy are represented by Rebellion, surpassing the Special Class.
Their recognition was evident in the fact that they were no longer called ‘Special Types’ or ‘Lower Dimensions’, but were now called by their team name, ‘Rebellion’.
Of course, his skills and popularity are needless to say, and although his ranking at the top has dropped somewhat, he has quickly broken through 20 rooms this week and has even risen to the top.
Although he still couldn’t beat Ortima’s team or Aire, who was still exploring solo, his progress was faster than that of other students, and the Chain Room strategy videos released every week were so amazing that not only Unitube subscribers but also his fellow students were amazed.
“Where are they going?”
“Are you stupid? You always get an F grade in your first special activity.”
“You are going back home. Never come back again.”
“If they can’t come back, we’ll disperse without leaving even a trace behind.”
“A guy who can’t even make a sound if you confront him head-on.”
“I, strangely, find that guy named Light pretty these days… … .”
“… … Are you like that too?”
In fact, Rebellion was already out of the competitive situation with fellow first-year students.
Even Ban Yu-won, who has the lowest overall ranking among the group, is in 8th place.
Even that was because he had bad luck with the draw, and he was the one who was growing rapidly even at this moment.
In addition, as Ban Yoo-won began to manage and control the special seniors through sub-channels, he was given the image of the leader of the group.
“Did Ban Yu-won join the student council?”
“I heard it’s not official yet?”
“I would recruit him too. He grew incredibly quickly and has diverse abilities.”
“It seems like the special admissions were completely consuming. I even saw the seniors saluting him.”
Although they haven’t produced any clear results yet, the eyes of professors who only value performance and the eyes of students who are dazzled by appearances are two different things.
No matter how much they are despised as special admissions officers, they are still seniors to the first-year students.
Since they are all gathered together and controlled, Ban Yu-won cannot help but look special.
“Why aren’t they on the spaceship and just gossiping in the back?”
“Students who give up on being at the top sometimes try to impress their peers and hope to become teammates or get help later.”
“No, on purpose… … ?!”
I never thought it had such a deep meaning.
“Ruchel said, approaching the astonished Ban Yoo-won.
“There has been a sharp increase in the number of female students talking about Yuwon on the intranet. … … That’s why I’m linking arms with Yuwon right now, all to keep any weird bugs from getting tangled up.”
“Thank you, Lucelle.”
Even though it was obvious that Ruchel was just making up excuses to satisfy his own desires, Ban Yu-won just smiled and responded.
Not long ago, Mira kept whining to him, asking him to stop pushing her away.
However, Ban Yu-won was trying to maintain an appropriate level of distance in his relationship with Mirana Ruchel.
Rather than just pushing away, you should also accept it while maintaining an appropriate water level.
‘Because I’m in charge of the relationship… … I have to be careful not to go overboard.’
There’s no way Ruchel and Mira wouldn’t hate each other just because they’re half-wolves.
Why does Mira rely on Ban Yu-won? Isn’t it because she believes that he fully affirms her?
The same goes for Ban Yu-won.
There is no way I can hate someone who doesn’t expect me to change and just accepts me, even if I’m pretty.
However, there were some hesitations because he had not yet completely shed the sensibilities and views on love of modern Koreans, and he also wanted to be careful not to hurt them in an overly one-sided relationship.
I wonder if they are aware of his efforts.
However, if there is a minor problem, it is that he is also a man… … and these days, there are times when he feels the limits of reason due to the increased physical contact.
It was the same even now.
‘No, if you think about useless things, you will become more conscious. Let’s think about these problems when we are alone.’
When Ban Yu-won, who had finished his worries, turned his gaze to Ruchel, Ruchel happened to be staring at him as well.
How can I tell her about this worry? As Ban Yu-won smiled vaguely, Ruchel also smiled faintly and opened her mouth.
“I’m fine anytime, so please don’t keep me waiting too long… … ?”
“?!”
Could it be that you read his mind?
Pan Yu-won, embarrassed, wanted to ask what she meant by that, but since it was time to board the spaceship, he had no choice but to pass over it without asking.
* * *
The first thing that caught my eye upon entering the spaceship was the concept of gravity control that filled the space.
Since it was a concept he had never seen before in the dimension line, Ban Yu-won observed the concepts with curiosity.
Who knows, maybe one day he too will be able to leap through dimensions on his own?
For that time, I had to be diligent in recognizing and collecting the necessary concepts.
“Students from Ban-yuwon, this way.”
Yumina called Ban Yu-won and led him to the control room.
“From now on, there will be many times when the four of us will be performing special activity missions. Unless something special comes up, we will continue to use this spaceship, so please make sure to check the registration number carefully now. I will issue you temporary captain’s authority, so please send your student ID over here.”
Ban Yu-won followed her around, recording their team on the spaceship, learning various action points, and learning how to respond in case of an emergency.
Of course, since the spaceship was designed to move automatically, there wasn’t much for them to do.
At best, you can input a destination into the spaceship and issue takeoff and landing commands, or deploy defenses.
“You have to be careful, because if you make one mistake with the letter, it could fly off to the wrong place.”
“You don’t have to worry, your memory for text-related matters is solid.”
But Ban Yu-won felt slightly uneasy the moment he answered like that.
Why do we have to have this ominous conversation?
“Oh, you just doubted me? But I’m not that sloppy when it comes to these things. Besides.”
Yumina entered the coordinates with a thin smile.
The spaceship calculated the coordinates and derived its destination, which was undoubtedly the F-138 dimension – Uraha.
“Because even if you make a mistake in the coordinates, you can tell right away just by looking at the result, so always check the destination when taking off. Got it?”
“Yes, Captain.”
Yumina also laughed out loud and seemed satisfied with his playful nickname.
Then he cheerfully pressed the takeoff button.
At that moment they were in space.
“… … Professor Yumina, didn’t you say that it was just like a normal airship, except that it could break through dimensional walls?”
A pitch-black universe seen through a large window.
Ban Yu-won was dumbfounded as he looked down at the Union Planet, the only planet visible below, filled with mana and shining like a star.
In the midst of all this, I was a little annoyed by the strangely calm expressions on the other members’ faces.
And it was the same for Yumina.
“Yes. It’s the same, right?”
“Aha, it’s the same thing.”
Union indeed.
This means that the average speed of an airship is the speed at which it can break through an atmosphere that may or may not exist and enter space.
‘I had guessed the level of the Union by looking at the latest model of hover bikes being sold, but I was wrong. That was outside the Academy, and the inside was separate.’
Ban Yu-won thought that his subordinates, Lilith, who were still running on the ground and in the air, still had a long way to go.
Of course, in the meantime, I did not forget to remember all the fixed concepts that the airship contained, and the fluid concepts that it radiated in real time.
“Okay, we’re about to enter the dimensional wall. I said we’re going to break through the dimensional wall, but to be exact, we’re going to the F-138 dimension by moving along the dimensional wall.”
“Are you saying that it is both a wall and a passageway at the same time?”
“Dimensional lines don’t need that kind of process.”
I knew that.
Ban Yu-won was amazed by Union’s ability to pop out whenever he felt like he was getting used to it, and looked out the window at the Union planet gradually disappearing into the distance.
Is it because I always see Earth in pictures?
I thought it was particularly similar to Earth.
