Admission is a waste of time (151)
Lesson 31. The last spoonful is the most annoying – 1
The moment Ban Yu-won instinctively picked it up, his power came into play.
Ox-Magic Double Horns 100 [Spatial Transcendence 100, Firmness 50, Strength 50, Dark Magic 100]
I thought it would be great, but something that immediately surpassed that level popped up.
Transcending space? Could this be the power that pulled Ban Yu-won in just a moment?
I thought there would be a magnetic force or a force acting on space since the axe and horn of the bastard resonated, but who would have thought that this was the main body!
‘Is it really impossible to extract just this concept? Each concept is so intricately intertwined that it might be a bit difficult with my current skills… … Hmm?’
As I was pondering what to do with the treasure I had acquired, which was perhaps the rarest of all the items I had obtained by entering the tower, it suddenly occurred to me that the composition of this concept was a bit strange.
‘The depth of the concept of the Uma Twin Horns is 100. But why is that, it should originally be the sum of the numerical values of the subordinate concepts that make it up? The depth of space transcendence is also 100, and the depth of firmness and strength (unbreakable, firm strength) are each 50. If you add the dark magic power, the total is 300. Doesn’t that seem strange?’
It was to the point where I felt like it wasn’t the sum of the concepts, but rather had a minus in the middle.
The concept of space transcendence and power is something I first got, but it’s clear that both are extremely rare concepts.
It is a rare magical power that allows you to use dark magic, which is a higher level of magic.
There is no element that should be negative, so why is it negative?
“Shishishit!”
“Ah, Eve! Sorry, I looked away for a moment… … Oh.”
Ban Yu-won, who was pulled out of his thoughts by Eve’s voice calling him, closed his mouth after realizing the surroundings.
Is it because the boss monster died and the wave’s momentum died down?
While he was examining the drops, his followers had already finished the battle.
“Is this the end?”
Normally, when a wave ends, you’re told to prepare for the next wave, but now it’s just quiet.
Ban Yu-won organized the golden strings flying from all directions and distributed them to his followers, absorbing as much as he could.
Even though my life only went up by 5, I was able to reach a depth of 760. Based on the system, that would be around level 76.
“So what should we do now? Should we just wait until the tower is completed?”
But there was no need for that.
Looking back, I saw the tower that had already been completed.
The appearance of the tower, soaring high as if it were piercing the sky, was completely identical to the Tower of Babel that Ban Yu-won knew.
“So now… … ?”
-Ban Yu-won, doesn’t that person over there seem to be looking at you?
As Celon had said, while others were standing towards the completed tower, there was only one human who turned his head towards Ban Yu-won.
I still couldn’t recognize the face or hear the voice.
Ban Yu-won felt certain that he was looking straight at him.
“No, if you were going to record something to show your descendants, you should have checked to make sure the recording was done properly.”
While Ban Yu-won, who was convinced that the other person was his ancestor, was grumbling in disbelief.
He raised his finger and pointed at the tower.
“huh?”
A tower that holds light.
A tiny ball of light burst out from within.
Perhaps our ancestors learned to manipulate the light freely by building a tower.
While Ban Yu-won was absentmindedly thinking about this, Seonjo raised his finger again and this time pointed at Ban Yu-won.
“――.”
No, I wasn’t referring to him, I was referring to the pair of horse horns still in his hand.
How did they know that? Because a ball of light shot out from the tower and flew in a straight line and was absorbed by the Umazangak.
It was so fast that I didn’t even have time to react.
“How can this be, the Uma Twin Horns that already contained dark magic are now imbued with light. They seem to be the strongest with both light and darkness… …!”
Of course not.
Ox-Magic Double Horns 300 [Space Transcendence 200, Firmness 50, Strength 50]
Light and darkness do not coexist, but rather cancel each other out and disappear.
But at the same time, the concept of spatial transcendence has been amplified, so that the depth of the comprehensive concept has jumped by a whopping three times.
What if Ban Yu-won hadn’t been able to properly defeat the bull? What if he hadn’t been able to properly guard the tower?
Of course, you couldn’t expect compensation like you do now.
‘Looking at it, it seems like we won’t be able to expect Eden this time either. But I got this, so I guess that’s enough.’
Ban Yu-won had no doubt that this was the reward for this room.
That is because the surrounding scenery began to distort and melt away after the ancestors’ actions.
―Huh?! What the! Is this really the end? So, can you give me a detailed explanation of the tower’s origins? Any hints as to what’s hidden in the tower?
“You just saw that light. Isn’t that light? That light is hidden in the tower.”
―So what is that! Where is the basis for the absolute proposition that those who climb the tower become gods! What is that light!
It seems that even the great wizard Celon was unable to interpret the series of events that occurred in this space.
But Ban Yu-won seemed to know.
Could it be because that person is his ancestor?
Was it because his power was able to perceive some of the nature of that light?
‘maybe.’
The Tower of Babel may not have been taken.
If that’s true, then how many people have been needlessly cursed at by him so far?
As he was muttering those thoughts in a dazed manner, the same vibration that had hit him when he had killed the giant during his previous solo expedition came over him.
Ban Yu-won did not resist it, but gave in to it and looked back at the man standing in the distorted scenery.
The tower and the man had already disappeared without a trace.
As if isolated in this space.

After coming out of the tower.
Ban Yu-won pondered over how to process the two horns that contained the concept of transcending space, which was an unfamiliar name, but it was unnecessary.
Because as soon as I put it in my inventory, the release swallowed it up.
“Hey, Inma.”
―… … .
I clearly saw it open its mouth wide and swallow its horn in one gulp, but as soon as Ban Yu-won spoke to it, it turned back into a machine egg and acted like it was nothing.
It was absurd, but I decided to let go of the thought that there was no way Lilith would harbor ill will toward Ban Yu-won, and that perhaps the reason evolution had been sluggish up until now was because he lacked the necessary concepts.
No, to be honest, I was looking forward to it.
‘Since the original vehicle, Release, has swallowed up the concept of transcending space, isn’t it unreasonable to say that we shouldn’t speculate?’
Nowadays, even novels don’t do the petty thing of hiding things like this by calling them foreshadowing.
Perhaps, after evolving, Release will emerge with a function that Banyuwon could never have imagined… the ability to teleport!
In fact, I had hoped that not only space travel but also dimensional travel might be possible, but upon second thought, I felt that it was underestimating dimensional travel technology, so I reduced my expectations.
“Hmm. Is there nothing I can do?”
Ban Yu-won, who had returned to his dorm room and was quietly examining the machine egg, soon tapped his head.
Why did you think that studying and training could be made more efficient with language magic, but didn’t think of helping this guy evolve?
He added all of his magic power to that of Celon and used language magic to carve the word “promotion” into the surface of the machine egg.
At that moment, the machine egg began to glow brightly, and the sound of a clockwork and a heartbeat could be heard inside it.
I was convinced that it was a successful attempt even without having to look into it with authority.
“half!”
Then the door opened and Light appeared.
He was drenched in sweat, as if he had been training all this time, and was holding a spear in one hand.
“Are you done?”
“Somehow the timing was perfect.”
“thank god…….”
“Anyway, I was trying to make sure that the exploration that starts on Monday wouldn’t be interrupted. You didn’t have to worry.”
“I’m glad you came back safe and sound, idiot.”
Light responds curtly and seriously to Ban Yoo-won’s words.
I was worried, but since you were saying such harsh words, I could have been upset.
“Okay, thanks for worrying about me. I’ll make you some hot chocolate as a thank you, so hurry up and wash up and come out.”
“Uh… … Yeah. That… … .”
Was there something embarrassing about what you just said?
Light, who had been hesitating and stepping back for no reason, turned around on his way to the shower room and asked.
“So, are you adding alcohol to it too?”
“No, you’re banned from drinking for the time being. Even after the ban is lifted, you’re not allowed to drink when Nana Dokgoyeon isn’t around.”
“baddie……!”
The destructive power of light when drunk is enough to make you think, ‘Even a man might be okay with it.’
I thought it was really fortunate that Dokgo Yeon was the one who first taught that guy how to drink.
“half.”
I was leisurely sipping hot chocolate while reminiscing about the last company dinner.
Suddenly, Light popped his head out of the shower room.
Although she only had her head sticking out through the door, her bare skin up to her collarbone was clearly visible.
The necklace around her neck looks particularly uncomfortable… … No, wait a minute.
“uh?!”
Has Light ever acted so carelessly before?
The shocked Ban Yu-won couldn’t hide his feelings and showed them clearly.
Light also blushed, feeling even more embarrassed by his reaction.
“You, don’t come this way.”
“So what is it? Is it urgent?”
“No, it’s not urgent. I just forgot what I was going to tell you earlier… … I wanted to tell you before I forget again.”
Light hesitates, looking around and unable to meet his eyes.
It occurred to me now that perhaps what I wanted to say earlier wasn’t simply a Yumina-like request to add alcohol to my hot chocolate.
But if it wasn’t urgent, I could have done it after I washed up.
“Well, that means… … What is it? They said that applications can only be submitted until tomorrow morning.”
“what?”
“Uh… … That, an invitation. What kind of invitation is this?”
Light’s hair was wet, perhaps because he was taking a shower.
If it had been someone other than Light, I would have thought that he might have been using a beauty trick on Ban Yu-won.
Just then, I saw a drop of water fall from the guy’s forehead and run down his collarbone.
Eventually, the water droplet flowed away to an area that was invisible to Ban Yu-won’s eyes, but its trace remained unusually clear and stimulated his imagination.
No, what is it?
What is the situation now?
Why did this happen all of a sudden?
Ban Yu-won realized anew that he was sharing a room with a member of the opposite s*x and that it was a very exciting experience.
“Oh, you want to come?”
“So where?”
“Our dimension.”
Light whispered and turned his head away in embarrassment.
Since the exposed area increases, I would like you to avoid strenuous movements.
But if I say something like that, he’ll find out I’m conscious of him, so I feel like I’m losing.
Light spoke again, not knowing whether he knew Ban Yu-won’s pitiful thoughts or not.
“During the vacation, do you want to come and play? Ruchel too… … said he was going to your dimension. So.”
“Uh… … Then can I go with Ruchel?”
“no!”
Light’s voice grew louder.
“No, that’s it. It’s not that I don’t like Ruchel. I can’t just let just anyone in… … . But you’re my friend, so it’s okay.”
Is it okay if that statement just now sounds like Ruchel and Dokgoyeon are not friends?
“So… … do you want to come?”
Light opens his eyes slightly, looks at him as if examining him, and asks again.
Should I say that it felt quick-witted, or should I say that it made my heart flutter even more because of the kind of cuteness I didn’t expect from Light?
But I really wondered if this question was something that should come up in the shower… … .
“Hmm. Ruchel is coming to visit our dimension, and there are things to do on Earth too… … If it’s not too much, but a week or so, that’s fine, I’ll come visit.”
He also wanted to become friends with Light, and he also thought that he had to break the curse related to his necklace, and more than anything, he had something he wanted to say to Light’s parents, so he nodded.
“really?”
“okay.”
“Come on… … !”
Light’s complexion brightened immediately.
Then, perhaps realizing that he was naked, he quickly hid himself.
But before closing the shower door.
“Then let’s do that!”
“Okay, I said I’m going.”
Perhaps because he was so anxious, he made another promise to Ban Yu-won before closing the door.
Ban Yu-won found his innocent attitude cute and snickered, but then his face hardened as a thought suddenly occurred to him.
‘Wait a minute, then what? … … Are you finally going to confess that you are a woman?’
Or are you planning to hide your identity by inviting me to your house?
Which one is it?
* * *
“If you want to seduce him, you have to take him by surprise.”
“It’s not a temptation! I’m just trying to invite you to my kingdom! … … So you want me to surprise you? Catch you from behind, press you down, and then threaten you? I know that’s not true, I know that, so don’t look at me like I’m pathetic… … .”
“I’m talking about creating an unexpected situation. Make him nod without thinking too deeply. Or, to put it in an extreme way, strip naked.”
“That’s just perverted.”
“Do it secretly.”
“Where is the person who secretly takes off their clothes? You’re becoming more and more perverted!”
“Don’t ask too much. I don’t know much about human mating either.”
“Mate, mating… …! No, not yet!”
“yet?”
“Eww!”
“Oh, I misspoke. It wasn’t mating, it was courtship. … … Light? Are you okay?”
