Admission is a waste of time (172)
Lesson 34. Free Subordination – 7
[Aneri – Dokgoyeon Safety Securing, Ruchel Safety Confirmation]
“after.”
Ban Yu-won let out a sigh of relief at the urgent notification from Aneri that flew in through the mirror.
The mercenary I had called in just in case had done his job.
It was right after he became certain that Ryu Cheol-myeong would be involved in this special activity that he contacted Aneri Dedota.
Her playful attitude was not very trustworthy, but Yumina’s eyes, who chose her as a mercenary, were trustworthy.
Of course, as a student at the academy, you won’t be evaluated very highly for your special activities if you use the power of a mercenary.
However, that is only if the special activity is carried out normally, and now even Ryu Cheol-myeong, a full professor at the Academy, has intervened in the dimensional pirate situation.
Not only was it not the time to be concerned about grades, but the professors would never have deducted points if they found out about the situation.
‘I’ll finish off Ryu Cheol-myeong for sure and then take his head.’
I don’t have the confidence to win if I go head-on against Ryu Cheol-myeong.
It’s something you have to do even if you’re not confident.
That’s why you prepared so hard.
[Mira – Just wait a minute, we’ll be there soon.]
While I was checking Aneri’s message, I also checked Mira’s interim report that had flown in.
I thought she was joking, but when I thought about her personality, which can easily become out of control, I became very uneasy.
[Me – No, what, you’re trying to finish a two-week special activity in one day? Don’t push yourself too hard and take it slow.]
[Mira – It’s over. Just wait a minute.]
[me – …….]
Wrong. Once Mira makes up her mind, she’s brainwashed to the point where it’s no use no matter what Ban Yuwon says.
I’ll be with the student council president, Shati, so I just hope she can control it somehow.
[Me – Don’t overdo it.]
[Mira – I love you too.]
What if people don’t understand you?
Ban Yu-won sighed, closed the mirror, and inspected the scene.
After a fierce but short battle, all that remained were the corpses of four men who appeared to have been instigated by Ryu Cheol-myeong.
I searched through their possessions to see if I could find any evidence, but I couldn’t find anything.
The greatsword the warrior was holding, unlike the relic he had previously obtained, had no traces of Ryu Cheol-myeong left on it.
“It’s clear that these guys specialize in this kind of thing.”
―You are allowing Professor Jeong to run this private organization outside of school without any punishment… … There is a limit to inaction, President.
“The president has a different way of thinking than we do. He thinks that even if a professor harasses students, you have to overcome it and survive to be worthy of attending the academy.”
-I can’t forgive you… … .
It was clear that they belonged to some specific group――but there was no way a secret organization would carry any identifying marks.
In the end, Ban Yoo-won ended up eating all of their concepts.
[You gain 20 Life, 15 Vertigo, 8 Soul, 1 Origin Sword, and 20 Judgement.]
“It’s really frustrating, but I guess you grow much faster when you’re dealing with people.”
Once my life passed 700, I really stopped going crazy. Honestly, the life extracted from humans (or other intelligent races) who weren’t that strong compared to monsters of the same level increased my depth by 20.
The same goes for vertigo and other concepts.
The depth of judgment also increased significantly for the first time in a long time, but Ban Yu-won realized after seeing it that he had not been able to use this concept very effectively in this battle.
“I already knew with my eyes that these guys were evil… … Am I an idiot?”
―You must be an idiot. Honestly, I could have done it with just my Holy Light Enchanted Rain Sword, but you went berserk because you wanted to show off the combination of your machine clans.
“That’s true.”
Of course, it wasn’t just a matter of wanting to show off the robot.
He couldn’t think things through when fighting against a large number of enemies whose level (life) was higher than his own and whose abilities he didn’t know, so he immediately mobilized Abel, a safe and powerful weapon.
It was certainly a suitable opponent for Abel’s test drive, and thanks to having learned the tricks of piloting Abel myself, I’ll probably be able to pilot it even more skillfully and for a longer period of time in the future―― but it’s true that it’s a bit of a waste to use it against these guys.
As much as it could show off its powerful power for a short period of time, Abel had a clear drawback called its ‘charging time’.
“Release, have you started charging?”
[It will be fully charged in about two hours, Master.]
“2 hours… … Okay, just rest there.”
If the enemies really want to finish him off before the day is over… …then Abel’s next opponent will probably be Ryu Cheol-myeong.
So until then, I had no choice but to somehow get by with what I had.
First of all, I really want to go and check on the safety of Ruchel and Dokgoyeon with my own eyes, but I can’t do that.
-Passssssss
-Awwwww
“Tsk, you’re coming right away.”
The trees in the forest tremble in the strong wind, making a rustling sound with their leaves.
What can be heard between them is the howling of animals running through the forest, harassing the trees.
It was clear that the Suin, who somehow found out that all the Forest Worms had disappeared (perhaps by leaking the information to Ryu Cheol-myeong’s line), thought this was their chance and rushed in.
Ban Yu-won couldn’t stop them all by himself, but he had to filter them out here as much as possible.
“I sent the signal just now, but when is Sloti coming?”
“I’m here.”
The moment he started muttering to himself out of nervousness, someone landed gently behind him and responded in a cool manner.
When Ban Yu-won turned around, he saw a wild beauty standing there, in perfect battle mode, with the corners of her eyes raised, perhaps because of her mood.
“Sloty? You look so handsome.”
“Gear second, Berserker――!”
“Okay, I have a rough idea of why your impression changed, so you don’t need to explain further.”

Perhaps the degree to which the battle mode of the Empress Dowager is activated varies depending on the situation of the forest she must protect.
That must mean that the current wolf tooth shortage is serious.
She looked very beautiful, with her blonde hair fluttering in the wind, and her impression had clearly changed.
“Are you going to plant a tree?”
“I think all of this is impossible. I think I should plant them somehow and direct their movements in one direction.”
“Then let’s start right away.”
As the Empress Dowager who rules over the forest, she was generating magical powers while displaying her abilities. Then, she suddenly looked at a giant hole where forest worms were writhing, and when she realized its identity, she blinked in surprise.
“Can I leave it like that?”
“It’ll be over soon. It’s a trump card, so look forward to it.”
The task of planting trees was much simpler than Ban Yu-won had anticipated.
Once Sloti had prepared the branches and thrown them into the ground, Ban Yu-won only had to inject a certain amount of the concept of trees into them.
After that, Sloti started to recite a specific spell, and it quickly grew until it was no different from the trees in the original forest, and it took only 3 seconds for it to grow.
“Are you perhaps a personified World Tree or something?”
“When I plant trees alone, the speed is one-tenth. The intensity is also much weaker. I can’t do a lot of work at once. After all, my child will become the best Taehu-in.”
Although I was already very concerned that Ban Yu-won and I were already convinced that we would have a child, there was nothing to tackle about her work itself.
As he knew that people were rushing in from all directions, Ban Yu-won quickly moved his body instead of reacting to her joke.
By mindlessly spreading out branches, instilling concepts, and reciting spells to grow them, I was able to fill about three-quarters of the forest, which had been an empty lot, with sturdy trees.
“They noticed it too.”
Sloti, still with a sharp expression, looked at the trees outside the area and smiled with satisfaction.
The most important ability of the Queen Nathalie, who is in charge of the forest of the Suin tribe, is the ability to protect the territory, but the next most important is the ability to interfere with trees outside the territory.
Sloti’s abilities were also unparalleled.
“From now on, I will guide their movements as you say.”
“how?”
“Limit the information to areas that haven’t been filled with trees yet and deliver it. Deceive the enemy’s Na-tae-hu-in.”
Indeed, in reality, there are more areas empty than that, but her ability is meant to limit the information transmitted to trees in other areas, thereby inducing movement.
“You can’t fool everyone.”
“We can’t deal with them all. It’s okay, our tribe is strong.”
They continued their tree planting work even as they talked.
But just when it seemed that the enemies would soon cross the forest line, the solitary spell was finally completed.
-Yuwon, okay!
“Okay, I won!”
The solitude that was achieved by all the forest worms sacrificing their lives.
At first, it was thought that it would not be possible to include many concepts due to the limitations of the material, but that was before it was included in the sorcery of solitude, and now the components of the hand drill itself were replaced with the body and magic of the forest worm.
No――I guess we should see it as a new substance that was completed by transcending the terrible curse and poison through the sorcery of solitude.
Ban Yu-won picked up a black-colored hand drill that looked like it was carved from obsidian and amethyst, and let out a satisfied sigh.
[You have successfully interfered with the curse spell, stolen it, and changed the spell’s intention to create a high-level artifact. The depth of the curse has become 200.]
If it weren’t for the urgency of the moment, I might have been jumping for joy at the depth of the curse suddenly deepening by 80.
But since it was created by attracting all the bugs living on a single star, this kind of result is to be expected.
―It certainly came out just as you intended… … So, can I use this now?
“Why do the people fear the Forest Worms? It’s because they are weaker underground.”
-Is that how it is?
“I’m watching.”
The name of the completed artifact is [Abyss].
Why it is the Abyss, you will naturally understand when you see this guy’s activities.
Ban Yu-won threw it on the ground with a satisfied smile.
Then it began to move as if it were alive, dug into the ground, and soon disappeared from sight.
It is natural for it to move on its own since it holds a fragment of Ban Yu-won’s soul.
“Was it a bug?”
“No, that’s not it. Anyway, I’m going to the empty lot. You guard the forest.”
“I want to go together.”
“Do your best to stop any enemies from invading the forest. I’ll stop everyone else.”
It would be pointless for a Sloti who controls trees to leave the forest.
Ban Yu-won waved his hand at Sloty, who had a disappointed expression on his face, and kicked the ground.
Sloth’s lure was successful, and since most of the remaining area was blocked by thick trees anyway, nearly 90% of the enemy were headed towards the empty lot.
“Frost Fortress.”
The moment you leave the forest, the Frost Fortress stands guard, blocking the forest path leading to the Wolftooth Tribe territory, stretching its body according to Ban Yu-won’s orders.
As the guy raised his shield and slammed it into the ground, a tall wall of ice rose up like a boundary line.
-Coming.
“Yes, I can see it too.”
The sight of people running towards us, one after another, out of the forest, stepping boldly onto the bare ground where the trees were uprooted.
There is no doubt about their collusion, seeing the people who are afraid of the Forest Worm running towards them with such confidence.
“There’s an enemy over there!”
“Just one?! I’m going to kill him and break the wolf bastards’ teeth!”
The reason Ban Yu-won built the Frost Fortress in the forest and created an ice wall was to attract the attention of the water people.
Of course, he also had twenty-five rain swords lined up in a row, ready to cut down and kill anyone who invaded the forest.
But of course, it would be nothing but an abuse of power for one Ban Yu-won to single-handedly deal with the men who had gathered their strength and set out to deal with the tribe.
“There are no worms! Don’t be afraid and step forward!”
“That’s the man who attacked our tribe this afternoon, catch him and kill him!”
Soon, thousands, tens of thousands of people landed on the empty lot.
Yet, a smile of confidence in victory appeared on their faces as they confirmed that the Forest Worms had not burst forth.
――The next moment, the vast ground collapsed.
The tens of thousands of people on top of it, of course, shared their fate with the earth.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Oh, it falls easily.”
The appearance of a deep and wide pit that cannot be compared to any sinkhole.
Ban Yu-won stopped and waved at the people who looked astonished as he discovered the sinkhole just before he emerged from the forest, and nodded in admiration as he confirmed the depth of the sinkhole.
“At this point, it can be called the Abyss.”
