Admission is a waste of time (154)
Lesson 31. The last spoonful is the most annoying – 4
“Hey, it’s okay.”
The treasure chest that appeared in this room was made of silver, both the box and the frame.
This is the first time that the material of the box is not gold.
In fact, from Room 81 to Room 89, I didn’t do anything special, I just destroyed all the enemies in front of me, so I was very thankful that the treasure chest appeared.
“The standard has changed, Ban. The box is silver. I heard that even the current students rarely come across a silver box.”
“You’re the one who’s talking nonsense, Light. The treasure chest itself isn’t the kind of thing that appears in a box.”
“Now that I think about it, that’s what happened. … … Well, the box probably appeared because the rules of the Trick Room were reversed.”
Everyone nodded at Ban Yu-won’s words.
Just because you’re strengthening a machine, doesn’t mean you can use a machine-made retinue, or transform your retinue into a machine… … Neither of these are things that just anyone can do.
The group has also made some surprising breakthroughs, but this is the first time since Room 40 that a treasure chest has appeared.
‘I wish there was something that would help me break through the remaining rooms… … but there’s no way it would fit the situation so well.’
Ban Yu-won took a deep breath, exchanged glances with his companions, and approached the box.
And when we took back all the concepts of the seal that had been protecting the box and opened it without hesitation――what was inside was a ring.
It was a simple silver ring that matched the treasure chest, but the center part was wide and looked like it had something engraved on it.
“It’s a dud.”
“I don’t know yet, but maybe this thing has the ability to ‘temporarily make you look like a machine’… …!”
“Just give up, Ban Yu-won.”
Ring of Seal 500 [Seal 450, Amplification 50]
“hmm?”
The ability of an object could not be fully understood through analysis of the Mandok-an alone.
One thing is certain, it is not an artifact for use against machines.
Ban Yu-won took it in and examined it closely.
Then I quickly realized that it was a ring made to be able to stamp a seal.
In Western culture, it is common to seal a letter by pouring melted wax and stamping a ring or necklace with the family seal on it.
“””ah.”””
“Huh? Why do you three make that sound at the right time?”
“Look at the ring, Yuwon.”
As Ban Yu-won lowered his head, he could see that the seal engraved on the ring had changed its appearance.
Ban Yu-won, his own name was engraved in Chinese characters.
“… … No way.”
“It’s a valuable artifact. I wasn’t planning on receiving it anyway.”
“I don’t think I can use it well either. I’ll give it to Ban.”
“I… … Ah! Instead, if you buy me a pretty ring later… … Caaeng!”
Leaving behind the sight of Ruchel being subdued by Dokgo Yeon, who was secretly revealing her greed, I asked Light to tell me about the artifact, and this is what happened.
If you hold the ring towards the target you want to seal and breathe magic into it, the target will be sealed.
Yeah, if it was just that kind of explanation, I wouldn’t have had to listen to it.
“Don’t make me laugh. Then this would be the strongest artifact in the world. It’s definitely stronger than the ring.”
“There may be limitations, but at least that’s what it says on my status screen. But what is an absolute ring?”
It doesn’t look like you’re lying.
Only then did I understand why the group’s reaction was ambiguous.
It sounds like something great when you just hear the explanation, but everyone knows that it won’t work out that well in reality, so that’s why it was like that.
“Let’s try it.”
In fact, the concept of a seal is deeply connected to the concept of a half-circle.
Even the treasure chest that had just been opened had a strong concept of sealing.
Even the amulets they frequently use contain the concept of a seal, and isn’t it essential to seal it when making elixir jam?
So he even developed a habit of collecting seal concepts from here and there and storing them in his code core so that he would not run out of seal concepts when needed.
“Make a talisman.”
Instead of creating a talisman to store magical power, I engraved the concept of a seal on it and lightly imbued it with magical power.
Then, surprisingly, the concept of a seal was actually given to the talisman.
It looked no different than when he usually gave the concept.
“uh…….”
Ban Yu-won was dumbfounded.
The amount of magical power consumed was not much, and the depth of the seal held by the sealing ring was not reduced at all, so a new concept of sealing was created.
It certainly has a special use, but isn’t it an incredibly useful item for the Banyuwon?
If this is the case, there is no need to go through the trouble of gathering the concept of sealing… … No, wait a minute.
“Can I give you a favor?”
He had just opened the treasure chest and given all 200 of the Seal Concepts he had retrieved to the ring.
Then, the seal depth, which was 450, increased to 455!
“Convert 200 to 5, it’s tough though.”
However, as the depth of the seal increased, the artifact’s performance would improve, so he applied all the seal concepts he had to the ring, and eventually managed to get the perfect 500.
This is not the end.
After thinking about it for a moment, he used his soul magic to separate about 10 parts of his soul and gave it to the ring along with 10 resonances.
‘Since my name is already engraved, wouldn’t it be more effective if a part of my soul were included?’
It was an attempt based on a shallow idea, but the result was excellent.
During the process of bestowing, a mutation is triggered, and the soul and resonance become one, resulting in a depth of 50 enhancement.

Soul and resonance combined to enhance, it may seem strange at first glance, but the two concepts mesh well together to enhance the ring’s performance.
There was no problem because both the soul and resonance were clearly included in the concept of strengthening.
As evidence, when he put the ring on his left index finger, it began to emit a faint light and vibrate periodically.
“Ban, that ring feels like it’s pulsating.”
“It’s proof that you’re resonating properly with me. It was a really good find… … It has nothing to do with machines, though.”
-Hey, Ban Yu-won.
‘huh?’
Celon suddenly interrupted and asked him a question.
-If it’s sealed, would it be possible to use it to break the seal?
‘The world isn’t that easy.’
―You still don’t understand the principles of magic. Powerful forces of the same kind tend to oppose each other. What would happen if the seal power you obtained clashed with someone else’s seal? You would fight for dominance and be canceled out, leading to mutual destruction.
Ban Yu-won said he imagined two great forces vying for a single target, each claiming to seal the other.
‘Will Solomon not judge?’
-Stop talking nonsense and take a picture of me. … … Not me, but this staff member!
I never thought Celon would make such a suggestion.
However, after hearing it, it was convincing, and although the staff itself did not have the concept of sealing, considering that this staff was the result of Celon being sealed… … it was worth a try.
‘I don’t know if you’ll be sealed more if I make a mistake.’
-He’s your partner, so pay more attention to him!
That’s right.
Since he felt sorry for not giving a single word and keeping it, Ban Yu-won did not say anything and obediently injected sage energy into the ring.
―There will be less resistance if there is no magic power left in the staff. Take my magic power as well.
‘okay.’
Neither of them even thought that they would be able to completely release her seal.
That’s why you can burn all your magic power without any regrets.
While he was at it, Ban Yu-won took out a few magic talismans and tore them up.
The vast magical power was absorbed into his entire body, flowing along the flow of the manifestation technique and changing into a vertigo energy throughout his body. It was then completely injected into the seal ring, causing it to emit a brilliant light.
‘It felt like I was removing the seal on Celon, not the seal.’
The moment I brought the ring close to the staff.
Surprisingly, Ban Yu-won felt something he was completely unaware of reacting strongly against him.
This is the force he must resist!
Having decided on his target, Ban Yu-won pushed the ring even harder.
The magical power in the form of a seal is amplified, strengthened, and emitted.
And it was hit by a huge force and oxidized.
―Constellation [Breath of Life] opens its eyes wide in shock. It fiercely demands why you met that witch.
―The constellation [Toy Legion Clock] is shocked and tells you to stop immediately.
Oh, these guys are alive.
Could it be that these two were also involved in the sealing of Celon?
But that doesn’t matter right now.
Focus on burning Celon’s seal as much as possible!
―Ahhh… … Aaaahhhhhhhh!
Celon let out a sound that was neither a groan nor a scream.
The sealing ring vibrated and resisted the pressure that was coming upon it.
I’m really glad I reinforced the ring before doing this.
If not, this precious artifact would have ended up being a disposable item!
“Ugh… … !”
The limit soon arrived.
Surprisingly, it was not the staff, but rather a huge shadow that came from outside, from the ceiling of the room, and fell upon them.
“What――!”
At the moment when the shadow was about to swallow up Celon and Ban Yu-won together, Ban Yu-won, feeling that the seal’s power had run out, grabbed Celon and hurriedly stepped back.
“Ugh!”
Dokgo Yeon, who had been watching from behind, quickly stepped forward and cut down the shadow, and that was the end of it all.
“From now on, it would be better to do that outside the tower, Ban Yu-won.”
Dokgo Yeon, who was holding a small sword, gave him advice with his cross-eyed eyes flashing.
“The moment you started doing something to that staff, the tower started vibrating like crazy.”
“Okay, I’ll definitely do that… … .”
―… … If it’s not a tower, it’s meaningless.
Unlike Ban Yu-won, who thought he had made a mistake and apologized meekly, Celon spoke in a much more mature voice.
―Because the one who was sealed was the tower. Naturally, the one who unsealed it had to be the tower. It’s dangerous, but that’s natural.
‘So, were there any results?’
-To some extent. … … But I’m sorry, I don’t think I can tell you that.
‘You asked me to take revenge on you?’
-That’s okay. Because our enemies are the same.
How dare you say such uncomfortable lines again.
“Selone said, as if trying to appease the angry Ban Yoo-won.
-Thanks to you, many of the ability seals have been released. Check the staff.
‘that…….’
XXXX [Soul 800, Vertigo 600, Curse 300, Starlight Magic 200]
Ban Yu-won, who had been examining the artifact with his eyes wide open as she had told him to, narrowed his eyes.
‘There are two things I’d like to ask.’
―The reason the artifact name is broken is because my rank has increased, and Holy Light magic is my unique magic. It is a higher level of light magic, but it is also a magic system that is slightly different from Photon Magic.
This refers to unique magic, such as the language magic of Banyuwon or the plant magic that Yumina handles.
‘Then I can’t learn.’
―I can imitate your fraudulent abilities, but it won’t be exactly the same. There’s no need to do that. I’ll use magic for you.
‘… … Have you changed your personality a little?’
-I’ll just try as hard as you try for me.
That may be true, but Celon’s personality has clearly matured.
I guess there’s no need to argue further.
What’s important is that Celon’s power has more than doubled.
She will be of great help not only in the exploration of Room 91, but also in the next special activity, which is full of unsettling elements.
Perhaps it was because of Celon’s change in personality, but the staff seemed to have become more docile in appearance as well. After putting the staff away, Ban Yu-won finally started the work he had been planning to do earlier.
Starting from Room 84, we will create a machine subordinate using all the machine parts and concepts obtained from the battle with the armored beetles!
