Admission is a waste of time (14)
Lesson 4. Rebellion – 2
“Come out, Ban. It’s time to spar with Erecto.”
I was at a loss for a moment as to who the fancy name was referring to, but half of it was my own last name.
Instead of going into the ring that was quickly forming, Ban Yoo-won raised his hand and spoke to the professor.
“I’m sorry, Professor. I don’t think I can gain anything from sparring because my fighting skills are still lacking… … .”
“Hmm? First of all, minus 3 points.”
Do they really play a meaningless ranking game like this once a year with dormitory scores and stuff, and give shit to the dormitory in last place?
“Come out, Ban. That’s no excuse.”
Even the professor who gave Ban Yu-won a minus grade without knowing what it was ordered him to come out.
I feel a great sense of malice, but maybe that ‘Jun’ professor is also a fan of Professor Yumi.
Ban Yu-won sighed as he watched the guy named Irekto clashing his two huge fists threateningly before speaking again.
“It’s not an excuse, it’s the truth. I was chosen for the special selection process not because of my fighting ability, but because of my unique personality. If you want to know my skills as a special selection process candidate, wouldn’t it be better to find another way rather than having me fight like an ignorant person?”
“Are you teaching the professor now?”
“Whether you’re a professor or a student, you have to learn what you don’t know. And aren’t you an associate professor?”
“… … ! You seem to be the one who doesn’t know anything. Minus 5 points.”
The negative scores keep piling up.
At this rate, I ended up fighting directly with the professor rather than the students.
And of course, there were gaps in the logic of the anti-Yu-won.
This Union Academy is an academy that exists solely for the purpose of climbing the tower.
No matter how much Ban Yu-won was admitted because of his unique abilities, he was ultimately in a position where he had to enter the tower himself.
That’s why.
“How about we use this week as a preparation period and then practice next week? Once I get into the tower and come out, I think I’ll be pretty much ready.”
“Now you’re ignoring the professor and setting your own schedule? Minus… … .”
Ban Yoo-won had also been steadily preparing a compromise.
I never expected that the professor would have such poor listening skills.
He deliberately let out a deep sigh and shrugged his shoulders.
It was right to say that I looked unlucky.
“Whatever punishment you want to give me, report the results next week. I repeat, I am not ready yet, so no matter what you say, I will not spar this week.”
“… … Okay, very good.”
The associate professor, who had finally failed to bring down the anti-fan, was gritting his teeth.
You may not like the fact that he was so confident in his attitude when it came to refusing the professor’s instructions.
But what can we do, in reality Ban Yu-won is not ready yet.
If I spar in this condition, will I only get hit?
He is not the main character of a passionate drama, and he cannot get involved in something that has no benefit and suffer losses without a plan.
“Next Tuesday, we’ll have a duel between Ban and Erecto. If possible, it would be better to do it in public.”
The professor seemed to accept Ban Yu-won’s proposal, but then he secretly added a condition.
Since it’s a public event, is there any chance that the Academy will broadcast it internally?
I had heard that he could handle machines, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he actually could.
“You said you wanted a week of preparation time, so you should show that you have the ability to do so. If you can’t… … .”
“What is that?”
Ban Yu-won nodded nonchalantly.
Of course, it was still a long way to go to catch up with Light or Dokgoyeon, but in reality, at the current rate of growth, it was calculated that catching up with the upper-dimensional general students would take more than a week.
However, the problem is that the students we are facing now are not just regular students, but a special class made up of excellent students.
“Did you say Erecto? The official duel is next week, so let’s shake hands to commemorate it.”
Even though Ban Yu-won was aware that all the hostility of the Special Class was directed at him, he boldly took a step forward and reached out to Irekto, a student who had grown to harbor ill will toward him because of his great respect for Yumina.
It was a giant of some kind, over 2.5 meters tall, its arm joints were covered in abnormally hard calluses, and strangely enough, steam was rising from the tip of its fist.
Honestly, if I wasn’t wearing a school uniform, I wouldn’t have said anything even if people mistook me for a monster.
“A thousand things.”
“Worm.”
Irekto seemed displeased with his witty attitude and slapped away the hand he extended.
It was incredibly painful, but Ban Yu-won wasn’t stupid and couldn’t show it here.
Instead, he looked at the professor and asked.
“I get negative points just for making suggestions to the professor, but don’t I get negative points for swearing?”
“… … Erecto, minus 1 point.”
“1 point? Let’s see, the minus points I received… … .”
“Ban Yu-won, don’t forget that you were the one who committed the rude act first. You get an additional minus 3 points.”
“Is it rude to ask for a handshake? I don’t know much about etiquette in this world, so I’m just asking.”
“You… …! Erecto, you’re at minus 3 points.”
“All right.”
Both the associate professor and the elector gnashed their teeth.
All the other special class members were also glaring at Ban Yu-won with cold eyes.
The moment when Ban Yu-won is firmly established as a public figure.
‘What would you do if you gave me a minus? It’s not like an associate professor can kick me out of the academy.’
However, Ban Yu-won, who had no intention of becoming close with them from the beginning, did not care at all about their gazes or negative scores.
All I could do was grit my teeth and recall the strings that had faintly appeared and disappeared the moment I made contact with Erecto.

These are the concepts I could barely read.

As expected, it’s absurd. It seems like it’s not called a special class for nothing.
‘I wonder if it would be difficult to develop my abilities to this extent in just one week.’
To be honest, it was stronger than I expected.
But in that situation, asking for two weeks would most likely not work, and since it was a situation that would have to be faced at some point anyway, there was no mistake in Ban Yu-won’s plan.
‘Then I have no choice but to… … .’
From the beginning, I never thought about defeating my opponent head-on.
As he himself told the professor, his abilities are not specialized for combat.
In a week, I’m sure we’ll find a way.
“Shhh.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Eve cries, saying that she understands his intentions and that he should not worry because she is confident.
I pet the guy, and he looks around in embarrassment, thinking that it would be awkward if he gets attention.
Surprisingly, I found that no one cared.
“Why is that? Is there no one there?”
The reason was also simple.
This is because while everyone’s hostility was focused on Ban Yu-won, Dokgo Yeon suddenly stepped forward.
Her strange cross pupils glowed eerily as they scanned the Special Class.
“Aren’t you curious about the skills of the special admission students? Unlike the class president, I specialize in combat. I’ll take you on any sparring challenge.”
“Dokgoyeon… … .”
It’s fun.
Even though Ban Yu-won hadn’t asked for anything yet, Dokgo Yeon was there right now to look after the positions of all four of them.
As I could guess from her greed for talent, perhaps she was originally in a position to rule over a group in the martial arts world.
“If you don’t have confidence, should I point out something? Hey, did you say Erecto? I don’t think you have the delicate personality to rush in while looking at your opponent. Come out. … … I’ll step on you.”
“Huh?!”
There is something called the aura of the strong.
Even Ban Yu-won, who has only just awakened to magical powers, knows that there is a huge difference between himself and Dokgo Yeon, so it is unlikely that Irekto could not read Dokgo Yeon’s momentum.
Perhaps the reason Dokgoyeon specifically pointed out Erecto was for Ban Yoo-won.
If Ban Yu-won’s guess is correct, she will have… …inflicted such serious injuries on Irekto that he will not be able to fully recover in a week or so.
“Dokgoyeon, I’m sorry, but Irekto is scheduled to spar with me in a week, so if you want to spar with him, please do so later.”
“hmm……?”
But that shouldn’t be the case.
Because Ban Yoo-won has to prove his worth through his own abilities.
So he dared to intervene and object to Dokgo Yeon, and she looked back at him with a slightly surprised expression.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“of course.”
“… … Oh, I thought you were just being clever. You’re a bit more manly.”
Dokgo Yeon, who had a satisfied smile on her face, snorted as she looked at Erecto, who was tense, guessing that her life was at stake right before her eyes.
“You bark with all your might, but when the strong one comes out, you just bang your head on the ground. Get out.”
“Who the hell is barking?”
Someone else stepped forward, pushing aside the exhausted Erecto.
It looked like it was wearing a crown on its head, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be horns sticking out like a crown, and its shiny golden hair flowed down and down.
“Surely not, Ortima, the ruler of the dimension of Cetius… …!”
Light kindly revealed the other person’s identity from the side.
“What does that do?”
“Oh, you don’t know? Aside from the Union, there are ten dimensions that are considered the highest in hierarchy. Ortima is the family that rules one of them, Cetius! Their symbol is the horns that stick up like a crown.”
“So, in a word, you’re saying that he’s from a family that ranks in the top ten among all of these dimensions?”
“that’s right.”
He’s from a lower dimension, but he’s strangely good at this kind of thing.
Conversely, perhaps Ban Yu-won is overly ignorant of dimensional news.
“It’s always the foolish and weak who gather together. It’s a sight to see them growl and come out to protect their own group.”
“Are you there to show off your tongue? Or are you protesting that your tongue is too long and asking to have it cut off?”
On the one hand, that guy Ortima and Dokgoyeon were already engaged in a fierce battle of wits.
Ban Yu-won was impressed by Ortima’s momentum not being pushed back by Dokgo Yeon, but Light was the opposite.
“Dokgoyeon, what the heck? It’s clearly a lower-dimensional special, but how can it be on par with Ortima… …!”
“Can you feel the difference in strength now?”
“I wish you would stop teasing me.”
The light went out.
Even though he’s already handsome, his cheeks are so puffy that it’s hard to believe he’s really a man.
I didn’t believe it at first.
“Don’t worry too much. You’ve only just reached the starting line. You can always jump ahead.”
“Really… … do you think so?”
“Of course. Dokgo Yeon won’t stay still, though.”
“Would you mind comforting me or teasing me?”
“Okay. I’ll just do one.”
So while Ban Yu-won was teasing Light, the professor finally gave permission for Ortima and Dokgo Yeon to have a duel.
Before the duel began, something sparkling rose into the air, and Ban Yu-won confirmed that it was close to the shape of a drone with a lens attached.
Actually, that was one of the things I saw at the store yesterday.
“Full disclosure. That means they’re filming with that.”
“Video… … Are you recording what’s happening right now? It’s said to be shared on the Academy’s intranet… … I still don’t know what an intranet is.”
“No, the Internet is here too. Now that I think about it, that’s natural.”
Among the items I bought in the city yesterday was a mobile phone, a communication device that allows real-time communication with a designated opponent by utilizing the magical communication network established in various places.
Here, it is called the Telepathy Mirror, or simply Mirror for short.
It even has all sorts of functions attached to it, including watching videos, calculating, calendaring, alarms, etc., so it’s just a smartphone in itself.
By the way, I exchanged a unique code, or phone number, with Professor Yumina yesterday while drinking with her.
“Ban, do you know what an intranet is?”
“To put it simply, it refers to a communication network built by an organization such as a company or school for the purpose of exchanging internal information. Let’s see, the school intranet… … I found it.”
Light looked at Ban Yu-won with a strange expression as he took out the ‘mirror’ from his bosom and skillfully manipulated it.
“How could you be so skilled in a lower dimension that didn’t even know about the existence of the Union… …?”
“Because we mainly developed in this direction.”
The Academy’s intranet was structured so that access and membership registration were only possible by authenticating with a student ID.
In the first place, it was possible to access the intranet with only a student ID card and no mirror.
However, in that case, you won’t be able to use complex services like watching videos.
When Ban Yoo-won accessed the intranet through Mirror, not only Light but even Ruchel, who had been quietly listening until then, quietly stuck his head in.
“There’s a live broadcast channel here. The class we’re listening to… … .”
“You have nice eyes, Lucelle.”
“Oh, thank you.”
No, it was even live.
It seemed like the professor was determined to take advantage of the special admissions team of four.
But well, it didn’t seem like things would go the way the professor wanted them to.
“Come at me.”
“Let’s give the first move to the lower rank.”
“You bastard? Let’s see how far that arrogant attitude will go. Get on your knees!”
The duel has begun.
The moment Ortima shouted at Dokgoyeon to kneel in anger at his provocation, Ban Yu-won clearly saw the mysterious power coming from him weighing down Dokgoyeon.
It was not ordinary magic, nor, of course, the power of language that Ban Yu-won dealt with.
It seemed as if the natural order of things, like water flowing from top to bottom, was forcing Dokgoyeon to kneel before Ortima.
[You successfully observe the distortion of providence, and the depth of your Mandok-an (萬讀眼) increases by 1.]
“Distortion of Providence.”
“Did you see that… … ?!”
“Ah, ahhhhh.”
Light was shocked by the words he muttered without thinking, and Ruchel also felt it and trembled.
“joy.”
However, even though he was under pressure that would have made him kneel or collapse on the spot if he had been Ban Yoo-won, Dokgo Yeon just calmly raised his spirits.
That was all, the energy that was suppressing Dokgoyeon.
“What… … !”
Dead.
I couldn’t express it any other way than that he was dead.
In it, Ban Yu-won could faintly feel a new concept.
Death, expressed in Chinese characters as sa (死).
Could there be a concept so simple and so eerie?
Ban Yu-won felt a sense of fear at the glimpse of power that Dokgo Yeon truly displayed.
“Ah, aaa …
“Shh, shh.”
Ruchel was even more trembling than that, and was holding onto Ban Yu-won’s arm tightly as if he was going to twist it.
Eve slapped Lucelle on the cheek, worried that she might hurt her master, but she still could not shake off her fear.
“Wow, you were a one-handed girl.”
“Your ability is as ridiculous as that horn. If that were all there was to it, it would be disappointing.”
“No way.”
As Ortima took a step forward, the same, but more intense, pressure came over Dokgoyeon.
But the result was the same.
“Does it get stronger the closer you get? If I had known you would run away… … .”
Dokgo Yeon’s feet lightly rolled on the floor.
The next moment, Dokgoyeon, who had rushed straight at Ortima, delivered a razor-sharp kick.
Meanwhile, Ortima seemed completely unprepared, but a golden shield appeared just before Dokgoyeon’s foot could pierce his abdomen, blocking it.
Crunch.
With an unpleasant cracking sound, the shield shattered into shards of light that scattered into the air.
Beyond that, Ortima was seen blocking Dokgoyeon by crossing his arms.
“So you’re making me do it myself in the end.”
“That’s why they say that if you have a bad head, your body will suffer. Or, if you don’t have the eyes to see.”
“You’re so cheeky!”
bang!
The same pressure and force that had previously tried to bring Dokgoyeon to his knees was hurled at Ortima’s outstretched fist, more than ten times more concentrated.
But Dokgo Yeon dodged it easily and pushed his forearm away with his palm open.
At the same time, the tip of her foot shot up and scraped Ortima’s chin.
Kyaaang!
Ban Yu-won doubted his ears.
Is that the sound made when a person’s foot and chin meet?
“Four years… …!”
“As expected, the way you move your body looks incredibly awkward. Surely no one is feeding you, right?”
Which one came out to brag about having a long tongue?
Dokgo Yeon kept cursing at his opponent while fiercely moving his arms and legs to push him away.
A series of violent crashes rang out.
Dokgoyeon, who stretches out his limbs and strikes his opponent, and Ortima, who lands heavy and powerful blows one by one but is unable to hit his opponent.
‘Originally, that guy was used to suppressing his opponent’s movements and hitting them, whether it was through a distortion of providence or something, but that didn’t work on Dokgo Yeon, so that’s why he became like that.’
As Dokgo Yeon had said, Ortima had supernatural physical abilities, but it was obvious to Ban Yu-won that he lacked the experience of moving his own body, and he was slowly backing away as Dokgo Yeon unilaterally beat him up.
However, even though Dokgo Yeon was clearly hitting with one-sided attacks, I was concerned that every time he did, a metallic sound was heard that I couldn’t tell if it was coming from a human body or from an iron wall.
“… … Ugh, I won’t forgive your rudeness any longer. I’ll kill you however you want!”
“Death is not a concept that a novice like you can easily conceive of.”
Kwaaaaaaaang!
A terrible energy exploded from Ortima’s body, and Dokgoyeon had no choice but to step back.
However, the fact that Dokgo Yeon, who had stepped down, and Ortima, who had been beaten up until now, looked fine was just as Ban Yu-won had thought.
Ortima and Dokgoyeon exchanged glances and began to show a more murderous aura.
at that time.
“Okay, that’s it.”
“… … !”
Professor Yumina suddenly appeared in the middle of the two people sparring and declared.
Ortima and Dokgoyeon couldn’t just accept it, so they raised their spirits even higher, but the moment Professor Yumina smiled brightly and lightly released her strength, both of them were ‘disarmed’.
“Huh?!”
“Phew, phew.”
The fragrance of flowers spreads in all directions.
It calms the seething spirit of war and calms the throbbing heart.
I forcibly calmed down and suppressed all my energy, so I couldn’t fight even if I wanted to.
Ban Yu-won felt the concept of flowers and harmony at the same time in it and smiled without thinking.
Even Yumina, the possessor of the ability, couldn’t understand why Ban Yuwon was laughing.
“Our academy doesn’t really like students fighting each other for their lives. I would like for lives to be risked only at the top. Do you both understand?”
“… … .”
“It’s strong.”
Ortima glared at Yumina without saying a word and returned to his place, and Dokgoyeon opened his eyes wide at Yumina, perhaps in awe, before nodding and returning to the group.
“Eek.”
“after.”
When Dokgo Yeon returned, Ruchel, who was very nervous, flinched and clung even closer to Ban Yu-won.
Dokgo Yeon glared at Ruchel again as if he didn’t like her, then turned his gaze to Ban Yu-won and smiled.
“How was it?”
“It was quite helpful.”
“Oh.”
Dokgoyeon opened his eyes wide, genuinely surprised by Ban Yuwon’s seemingly sincere response, and soon smiled even more deeply.
Only then did Ban Yu-won realize that he had answered incorrectly.
I should have said I didn’t recognize any of them.
I’m starting to get this psycho’s attention more and more!
“Assistant Professor Farrell, this is a disciplinary action. It was a big mistake to start sparring from the first class, and to allow sparring and then just sit back and watch without knowing the extent of it. Be prepared.”
“Oh, I understand!”
“Then I’ll take my leave now. … … Ah.”
Meanwhile, Yumi, who had just turned around after harshly reprimanding Associate Professor Farrell, whose name had been revealed, noticed Ban Yu-won and walked over to him lightly, fixing his wrinkled collar.
“The class president must have dignity. Then, have a good day.”
Since I appointed him as class president, if you pick a fight and get caught, you’ll lose.
Yumina, who had expressed her intentions in a dignified manner, disappeared from the spot just as she had appeared without any warning.
However, Ban Yu-won realized that Farrell and the members of the special class were glaring at him, and sighed once again at how Yumina’s intentions had gone awry.
