Admission is a waste of time (160)
Lesson 32. The progress is too fast – 4
[No matter how I look at it, I think I’m prettier than her.]
As Lilith, who was rolling around the spaceship assigned to the Rebellion party and taking measurements here and there, spoke in a somewhat artificial yet beautiful female voice.
Some parts sounded artificial, such as parts where the voice was overly clear, parts where the accent was strangely odd, and parts where it seemed like it was recorded and then played back rather than just a normal voice, with subtle noise mixed in.
After checking all the coordinates, Ban Yu-won, who was looking out the window at the universe, responded in a dumbfounded tone.
“Pretty? What is the standard?”
[Soul? A form in which concepts are in harmony?]
That is a profound area that even Ban Yu-won does not know well yet.
It seemed that there was a certain standard that only Lilith, who was born as a member of Ban Yu-won’s clan and shared a certain portion of his power, could know.
[Anyway, I’m prettier than this piece of junk! I wish my master had ridden me.]
“The special activity is originally to be done with a spaceship registered with the Academy. So, let’s do your test drive later.”
Ban Yu-won repeated the explanation he had given earlier and examined the concepts in the guy’s body.
Release [Yogi 1,000, Life 1,000, Thunder 880, Soul 750, All Changes 100, Spatial Transcendence 200, Resonance 128]
The key words that make up the current release are none other than ‘evil’ and ‘machine.’
Perhaps the ultimate mechanical lifeform, the machine-like monster that appears on the tower, was Lilith.
The depth of that core concept is exactly 1,000 without any doubt.
Considering that Eve’s phantom beast and life’s core concept, which has been growing quite diligently, is 650, it can be said that it was achieved in one go this time.
But it wasn’t just an evolution, it was the result of eating the precious items that Ban Yu-won had acquired, so it was natural for Eve to grow horns.
That’s why Eve was wrapping her arms around Ban Yu-won right now.
He is upset, so he needs to be appeased.
[Although I caused trouble to my master during the hatching process, I think I can be of more help to my master than Eve!]
“You call me sister.”
[Of course, since Eve was born first.]
I didn’t mean to nitpick that part.
For reference, the current release looks like a round metal sphere that can be held with both hands… … If I had to say, it looks similar to the magic orb that Aire carries around.
There is also a reward for swallowing up all the changes, as you can now transform by absorbing most of the concepts like Eve.
“Still, it doesn’t seem like there’s much difference between you and Eve, but how do you speak?”
[Can Sister Eve speak too?]
Ban Yu-won’s head turned sharply at Lilith’s natural and innocent response.
But Eve, wrapped in Ban Yoo-won’s arms, just yawns, pretending not to know.
The release rolled smoothly through the air, making a murmur.
[Manbyeon opens up all possibilities. Even monsters that seem like stars can communicate, so why can’t we?]
“I see… … .”
If anything can be transformed, it shouldn’t be difficult to imitate human vocal cords.
We know that Eve and Lilith, as well as Tyche and Libby and all of their retinue, are more intelligent than normal humans, so all we need is a way for them to communicate in human language.
But Eve still doesn’t open her mouth even after a considerable amount of time has passed since she got the news.
Well then, there must be a reason.
Ban Yu-won patted Eve’s head, who was still turning her head as if she didn’t know.
“Ban Yu-won, is it fun to talk to that can?”
“It’s quite enjoyable.”
[A tin can! How dare you call such a pretty and sophisticated woman by such a rude derogatory term!]
Dokgoyeon, who had been with Ruchel until now, approached him and spoke to him.
When I look back at Ruchel, he is sitting still with his head down, as if he is thinking about something.
“Do you feel a little better?”
“Not at all. That woman is still worried about you, not about herself.”
Ruchel has been in that state ever since the special activity level was decided yesterday.
It is almost certain that outsiders will interfere with this special activity.
But of all things, it happened in the dimension where Ruchel was from.
She is worried that she might be causing trouble to Ban Yu-won because of her.
“You’re the one who needs to be comforted. Whatever happens where we go isn’t Ruchel’s fault.”
“I know. I tried to coax her, but it didn’t work.”
“Because I can’t even comfort a single woman’s heart.”
Dokgo Yeon said, clicking his tongue.
“I’d rather just get over it… … .”
“huh?”
“… … .”
If I had knocked it over, those worries would have been minor issues.
Dokgo Yeon was about to say that, but he stopped midway as if something had caught his attention and he couldn’t continue.
“Ugh… … !”
Ban Yu-won suddenly stood up as he saw her face turn pale in an instant and she grabbed his chest with one hand.
“What’s wrong, Dokgoyeon? Are you okay?”
“… … It’s okay. Right now, don’t worry about me and worry about that woman.”
“Are you really okay?”
“If you ask me any more, I’ll get angry.”
It’s usually not okay to respond like this.
Ban Yu-won looked back and forth between Ruchel, who was still hanging her head over there, and Dokgo Yeon, who was getting unnecessarily angry at her, and then sighed and said.
“Let’s both have some hot chocolate and calm down. We still have a lot of time to get to our destination.”

“I like that, but you have a habit of bringing it up whenever you’re in trouble these days.”
“But you’re going to drink anyway. Lucelle, you come here too. If you keep being so gloomy, I’m going to hug you tightly.”
“… … !”
Ruchel’s ears perked up as he lowered his head.
He flinches and falls back down as he tries to get up, which shows that he is more interested in something other than hot chocolate.
I actually found the behavior that showed his true intentions cute.
Ban Yu-won decided to help her resolve her conflict.
“If you come now, I’ll hug you.”
“!”
As soon as he heard those words, Ruchel came running as if he had been waiting.
Yeah, if words don’t work, then it’s better to use other means.
Ban Yu-won smiled slightly and took out a thermos containing hot chocolate from his inventory.
“… … .”
“No, Dokgoyeon, why are you glaring at me all of a sudden? It’s scary… … .”
As the three of them drank hot chocolate together, Ban Yu-won suddenly thought of Light.
I wonder if he’s okay now.
I wonder if Ryu Cheol-myeong went that way.
If we could turn the spaceship around right now and head towards Light’s hometown… … .
‘no.’
I shook my head firmly at the absurd thought that suddenly occurred to me.
Ruchel was worried about Ban Yu-won, but Ban Yu-won was just as worried about Ruchel.
I also heard about the worries she had.
Although Ruchel calls him master and serves him without compensation, how can human relationships be so one-sided?
Naturally, Ban Yu-won also wanted to save Lucille and her hometown.
So, as the president said, this is the best.
But still, I couldn’t help but be concerned about Light.
Although it wasn’t his intention, he ended up choosing Ruchel when both he and Light were in a difficult situation.
‘Light… … If you get hurt, you’ll really get in trouble.’
He will be okay.
Ryu Cheol-myeong’s goal is not Light, but Ban Yu-won, Dokgo Yeon, and Ruchel.
So it had to be okay.
I hoped so.
* * *
When Light, who came out of the tower, returned to his own dimension with Yumina’s help.
The first thing I saw was airships filling the sky.
“Your Majesty, you have come!”
“This is a big deal, the Dimensional Guardian Alliance has betrayed… …!”
“Exodus has invaded, my lord! Exodus is in collusion with some of the Guardian Alliance… …!”
Knights and nobles of the kingdom who had confirmed Light’s return rushed in from all over, grabbing his collar and whining.
They have always been this weak and dependent.
It was like that from the moment Light ran out with the holy sword in his hand, shouting to protect the kingdom.
“Betrayal of the Guardian Alliance? Internal strife has always happened.”
The fun times I had climbing the tower with like-minded colleagues feel like a lie.
Light’s voice, responding to his subjects, was filled with an unmistakable fatigue.
“Prince? But you look a bit… … .”
“The voice too.”
“No, that’s not important right now! Prince, I’ll report to you on the current situation. Quickly, inside! Your assistance is urgent!”
“That, that’s right! Hurry up, hurry up and bring it in!”
“His Majesty has coughed! He has personally given the order to the prince… …!”
“Really? Your Majesty.”
Light crossed the palace with a faint sigh.
Although it had only been less than half a year, Light had matured mentally and was no longer a being swayed by every word his subordinates said.
But there were exceptions to that.
The one who ordered him to take up the holy sword was… the king.
“You’ve come, ‘Prince’.”
How does it feel for his father, who gave birth to him, to call him a prince?
How does it feel?
Light bit his lip, trying to suppress the urge that had been growing stronger lately.
And bowed to the tallest man in the country.
“How have you been, Abamama?”
“The envoy of Exodus has put your name on his lips.”
The king’s cold voice shook his mind.
“It seems like you’ve been doing something noticeable at the academy.”
“Are you saying that this invasion is because of me?”
“No, but I guess it doesn’t have any effect.”
And that is of no consequence in the present circumstances, the king added.
“Our military is not enough. As the master of the Holy Sword, Aslight, prove your worth and protect the country.”
“Abba Mama, I now have the Holy Sword… … .”
“The holy sword?”
In a situation where the country was in crisis, I couldn’t bear to say that I couldn’t hold the Holy Sword because I was afraid of its side effects.
Still.
From the perspective of someone who keenly felt how much effort Ban Yu-won and his group had put into Light’s ‘treatment’, I simply could not let this go unsaid.
“I am… … strong even without holding the Holy Sword, Abamama.”
“Yes, it seems like you haven’t held the Holy Sword in a while. You can tell just by looking at your frail face.”
“Do you… see it?”
Crunch, my teeth cracked.
Seeing his expression turn grim, perhaps sensing what he wanted to say, the King spoke with a bitter smile on his stern face.
“I’m joking. You are my son, and I know your talents and strengths better than anyone else.”
“underneath–.”
“But the current situation is not very suitable for joking around.”
ah.
Light recalled the moment when he first held the Holy Sword.
Without anyone telling you what you have to take on.
The moment when I just grabbed the sword with an excited heart.
“Draw the holy sword, Asra Light. With the great power inherited from our ancestors, you must protect this country.”
“… … .”
Perhaps the king was not wrong.
The country is in the worst situation right now――the country is in a serious situation, to the point where the sound of explosions can be heard all the way to where the palace is located.
You must not do this without drawing the holy sword.
The fate of the country rested on Light’s shoulders.
It’s always been like that until I entered the academy.
I finally feel like I’m wearing my clothes.
Everyone in the kingdom tells me that they get along well.
A very disgusting and disgusting outfit.
Guardian’s clothes.
“Abba Mama.”
“Do you still have something to say?”
“Do you remember my name?”
“Arth Light, I thought you said let’s stop joking.”
“My real name.”
The king paused at Light’s crying voice.
But the silence didn’t last long.
“The situation demands urgency. Hurry, Aslight.”
“… … I understand, Your Majesty the King.”
Asra Light turned around and left the palace.
He abandoned himself and took up the holy sword again.
He never put down the Holy Sword until the end of the vacation.
