Admission is a Waste of Time Chapter 187

Admission is a waste of time (187)

Lesson 37. Let me rest because it’s vacation – 2

The next morning, Ban Yu-won woke up before 5 a.m. and carefully left his room and headed to the living room so as not to wake up Lucelle, who was breathing softly in her bed.

Everyone was either asleep or the house was quiet, but the sound of the wind blowing and faint cheers could be heard steadily in the garden outside, perhaps as Ban Yu-mi was practicing.

‘It finally feels like I’m back.’

Even if you become a student at Union Academy, even if monsters appear on Earth, even if your family has secret circumstances.

His older sister was still up early in the morning swinging a pickaxe in the garden.

That gave some comfort to Ban Yu-won’s anxious mind.

“Okay, then… … .”

After quickly washing my face, I boiled water.

I poured black tea into a fancy mug and added thirteen sugar cubes.

I sit down on the sofa, holding a cup of hot liquid in my hand that should be called tea-flavored syrup rather than tea.

Instead of a mirror, I turned on my smartphone, which I hadn’t used in months, and connected it to the Internet.

What I want to know is the story about myths and scriptures that I heard from my grandfather yesterday.

‘It’s hard to believe that all myths have disappeared. Especially since it’s impossible to do anything about the content that has already entered people’s minds… ‘

Moreover, religion has had a profound impact on the cultural development of the Earth.

The history of mankind is the history of religion.

Aren’t there a lot of people’s names, place names, and even games that are influenced by Greek or Norse mythology?

Are they all broken? Are they already controlling everyone who comes into contact with them?

No way――.

“Yes.”

An hour later, Ban Yu-won put down his empty teacup and sighed.

The scriptures and various mythological books of almost all religions that have gained public recognition have been converted into unreadable characters, as we have seen through the Bible of the Ring-Won.

Videos won’t play, games won’t work, and comics are distorted like paint was mixed together.

Fortunately, the realm of traditions, customs, and names influenced by religion remained intact――but there was no way to explain how they were related to religion.

People’s memories were not interfered with, but they were unable to convey what they knew to others.

Whether you try to speak it or write it down, it all changes into a language that even you don’t know, which is enough to remind you of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel collapsing and people becoming unable to communicate.

‘It is clear that it is related to the Tower of Babel.’

Ban Yu-won, who had easily come to that conclusion, finally checked the reactions of each religious community.

Since the scriptures have become tasteless and it has become impossible to put doctrines into words, not only has evangelism become impossible, but even worship cannot be held properly.

Although it was never an official view, there were many religious people who concluded that dimensional evolution was the work of the devil, and they even cursed those who rose to prominence thanks to dimensional evolution, including the Ban family.

Meanwhile, with the change of the Earth, this terrible disaster appeared, and there were even radical groups that claimed that the fakes were being suppressed by the ‘true god’ who had only appeared with the evolution of dimensions.

“ha…….”

It’s only been about three months since dimensional evolution occurred.

It was too short a period of time for believers in a religion with thousands of years of history to accept reality.

Even Ban Yu-won, the new owner of the Tower of Babel, the only one who was not affected by this, cannot understand why this happened.

When you conquer the tower, will you know?

Until then――if possible, it would be best to keep quiet about the connection between this tragedy on Earth and the Tower of Babel.

“Half-circle.”

“why.”

Then suddenly Ban Yu-mi appeared behind him and spoke to him.

Ban Yu-won, who was reading her movements through the use of the Origin Sword, responded naturally, but Ban Yu-mi’s eyes narrowed at his response.

“Since when have you become so sensitive?”

“You’ve seen all the videos I’m in, right? I learned martial arts from a girl who came out of the martial arts world. She’s awesome.”

“Right, since we’re talking about him.”

“Ssuk,” Ban Yu-mi said, sticking her face right in front of his nose.

“Didn’t he ask for anything in return for teaching you martial arts?”

“what?”

“… … or the body.”

Ban Yu-won rubbed his ears, but since Ruchel had cleaned them thoroughly the night before, they were completely clear and free of any residue.

He squinted his eyes at his sister and said,

“Ban Yu-mi, are you reading adult novels these days?”

“No kid! That’s weird, no matter how you look at it, it’s an advanced technique! It’s not a technique that you would teach just because you’re a motive!”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you see the video? He taught martial arts to his other classmates too.”

For Ruchel, the heretics of the martial arts world, those with the blood of beasts――perhaps the martial arts that share the same roots as the Goeyounggong that Ban Yuwon learned.

Light was not only skilled in military spearmanship, but later also in personal spearmanship.

Even though Ban Yu-won kindly explained it to her, her older sister’s reaction did not change.

“It feels different. What I taught them wasn’t something I had learned myself, but what I taught you… … Yes, it feels like you’re my disciple!”

“Your eyes are nice too.”

It is an undeniable fact that Hyeonsingong is the foundation of Dokgoyeon’s martial arts.

It’s not just Hyunshin-gong.

Dokgoyeon not only firmly instilled in him the fundamentals of swordsmanship, but also taught him every day under the guise of sparring, applying all the sword techniques she had learned to Ban Yuwon’s body.

All of those movements were conceptualized one by one, and now they were all incorporated into the Origin Sword of Banyuwon.

In fact, it is not wrong to say that he is a master.

“Just like my older sister said, I feel like a disciple. I actually don’t know why he treats me so well… … .”

“So you’re saying that you asked for my body in return?”

“What does he miss about it!”

When Ban Yu-won, unable to stand his older sister talking nonsense since morning, started shouting, she pointed to her own eyes as if she was frustrated that Ban Yu-won did not understand this either.

“The way that girl looks at you! Those weird cross eyes are so obscene!”

“You’re good at talking even though you’ve never been in a relationship before.”

“Ugh… … !”

Ban Yu-mi, who had been hit hard, shut her mouth.

Ban Yu-won sighed deeply at the sight and stood up from his seat.

“Let’s spar. You said that because you wanted to anyway, right?”

“You’re so damn quick-witted… … .”

“Well, it’s faster than you.”

How could I not know when he approached me holding a sword in each hand?

Ban Yu-won accepted the sword his older sister offered him and went out into the garden with her.

“I’m going with all my heart.”

“Have you ever played with a sword, Sister?”

“I never tried to kill you.”

Well, you shouldn’t try to kill your family.

“But now I think I can kill him.”

“hey.”

“Let’s go!”

Ban Yu-mi, who is full of selfish desires and straightens her sword, wondering if she really wants to kill herself!

I knew she was a great talent since she won the Olympic gold medal as a high school student, but who would have thought that she would grow even faster after the Earth’s cataclysm!

“huh?”

Ban Yu-won blinked as he dodged her sword that was flying in a familiar orbit.

“Is this Dokgo Yeon’s swordsmanship?”

“I learned it from the video you uploaded.”

“Are you kidding… … ?”

Since it was a video of the activities of the Rebellion members, it would have been natural to include a scene of Dokgo Yeon swinging a sword.

But it’s not like she filmed the footage to use as a textbook to teach swordsmanship to others, at best it’s just footage of her sparring with other members or swinging her sword while climbing the tower…

You learned swordsmanship by watching that?

If Dokgo Yeon’s swordsmanship was that easy to learn, Ban Yu-won wouldn’t have had to learn it by getting beaten like that!

“I’m not kidding. I learned it completely and worked hard with the determination to beat it someday, so I did well. And unlike fencing or kendo, it ‘goes well with mana.’”

“――Hot!”

The familiar feeling of a sword flying towards me again, but inside it felt like it would explode at any moment.

Indeed, Ban Yu-won was now able to realize why Ban Yu-mi had grown so quickly.

The perfect sword ‘shape’ that Dokgo Yeon taught to Ban Yu-won.

Ban Yu-mi succeeded in the absurd act of learning it by just watching the video and then putting her own meaning into it.

Of course, it’s not as good as building up from the realm of nothingness, but Ban Yu-mi’s talent of starting from a form and completing it into a plausible martial art was at an extraordinary level.

‘It’s not just swordsmanship. He was also skilled in handling magical powers to begin with―― and his unique powers are just too good.’

The heat that had been transferred during the process of striking her neck threatened to burn not only his neck but also Ban Yu-won’s body.

Of course, the concept of ‘Vajra’ that he had acquired while dealing with the descendants of the constellations this time was automatically holding him back, but it was quite strange at the point where he had to use his own concept in a duel where they were only facing each other.

‘An unquenchable flame. If you just look at that power, honestly, it wouldn’t be strange if my sister was chosen by the Union.’

The power of the constellation was twisted by Ban Yu-won, and countless wildness was added to it, creating Ruchel’s unique concept of wildness.

A power similar to, or even greater than, that which grants its owner immense strength, stamina, and limitless growth potential was burning within Ban Yumi’s body.

The flame that literally never goes out is constantly producing energy and is strengthening Ban Yumi even at this very moment.

“The age limit for admission to the union is 20, but it’s a shame.”

“I know what you’re thinking, but I have no intention of becoming your junior anyway?!”

“I thought it would be kind of fun.”

“This is it… … !”

As I said teasingly, Ban Yu-mi’s sword swung even faster.

He really is swinging his sword, aiming only at his critical point!

“If you’re embarrassed, just say you’re embarrassed.”

“Don’t dodge and stay still, I can’t kill you!”

“Me too.”

Ban Yu-won took his sister’s sword and sparred with her for about 30 minutes.

She had already accepted and developed Dokgo Yeon’s swordsmanship in her own way and had reached a level of her own martial arts, but it was undeniable that her foundation was Dokgo Yeon’s swordsmanship, and it was impossible for her to win in a hand-to-hand fight against Ban Yu-won, who had already perfected the harmony of Yu Won-gong and Giwon Sword.

She should be evaluated based on the fact that she did not back down against the absolute powerhouse, Ban Yu-won, but persistently dug in and continued to swing her sword to find a way out.

[The depth of the Origin Sword increases by 2.]

“Eek, huh… … .”

“It was a good match. A genius is truly a genius.”

Ban Yu-won eventually failed to land a proper blow on him and threw his sword to the floor, looking at Ban Yu-mi who was catching her breath.

It wasn’t exactly a joke, but Ban Yu-won was able to gather some quality swordsmanship concepts for the first time in a long while by dealing with Ban Yu-mi’s innate sense of swordsmanship.

The result is the depth of the Origin Sword 2.

It was truly amazing to grow this much from just one match.

“What are you doing, your movements are uncomfortable… …!”

“I have to read all the situations and movements and respond accordingly. This is my style, so there’s nothing I can do about it. Since my talent with the sword is lacking, I had to adjust in other areas.”

“Lack of talent, what the heck… …!”

No matter what your ability, in the end, you are the one who wields the sword.

Just as Ban Yu-won gained a lot from Ban Yu-mi’s sword, Ban Yu-mi was also able to gain a lot from Ban Yu-won’s exquisite swordsmanship.

“You, take a break and then play another round. Then you won’t lose so easily.”

“That would be appreciated, but not right now.”

“Why! … … Ah.”

“Yuwon, hyung.”

Ruchel, who had come out into the garden, handed Ban Yu-won a cold, soaked towel.

“It was great, Yuwon.”

“thank you.”

“You too, brother. The meal is ready, so just wipe off your sweat and come in.”

“Oh, okay, thank you.”

Lucelle, who had handed a towel to Ban Yu-mi, smiled brightly and went inside.

She wiped her sweat with the towel she had received, feeling a strange sense of defeat.

“That girl… … Is that her real self? She’s such a Confucian girl… …!”

“No, actually, that wasn’t it. I just fed him… … .”

“Feed me food?! I’m a slave!”

Well, that’s right, they’re slaves.

But she had been training at her mother’s side for several days after defeating the constellation in Jeddah, whenever she wasn’t with Ban Yu-won.

Perhaps that kind of young lady-like behavior was something she had learned back then… …!

“Half-circle… … .”

Before I knew it, Ban Yu-mi was picking up the sword again.

Her eyes were filled with seventy percent anger and three percent indescribable envy.

“Take up your sword.”

“No, I’m going to eat.”

“Then you get hit once!”

“It’s really sticky, really. How did you live when you were bored while I was away?”

“With the intent to kill you!”

“If someone heard this, they would think I was the enemy of my parents… … .”

* * *

At 7:30 in the morning, the Ban family was frozen in place as they looked at the breakfast table that Ruchel had prepared with great skill.

Of course it was because of Ruchel.

“Yuwon, ah~.”

“Are you really going to do this? Think carefully, Ruchel. It’s two months. Are you really going to do this every meal for the next two months? Are you really going to do this while feeling the gazes pouring down on us without mercy?”

“Hehe, ah~.”

“… … Ah~.”

I guess it was what I was hoping for.

Ban Yu-won eventually surrendered to Ruchel, who had an iron will that would not yield to anyone.

Lucelle asked with a smile that made it seem like she couldn’t be happier, as she fed him with utmost care.

“it is delicious?”

“huh…….”

“I’ll master Korean food completely in two months. Then, when I return to the Academy, I’ll be able to make meals that suit Yuwon’s taste just right.”

As his family watched the slave force his master’s actions, they began to understand little by little how the relationship between the two had developed.

So, that’s probably the kind of play it is… … .

-Picky

Ban Ju-seok said after seeing Ban Yu-mi’s chopsticks break.

“Honey, my chopsticks are broken.”

“Be quiet, Dad.”

“Ppajik,” Ban Yu-mi replied, completely throwing away her chopsticks.

Ban Joo-seok looked back at his wife with tears in his eyes.

“Honey, hasn’t our daughter been a bit cold to me since yesterday?”

“He does this because he doesn’t even know why.”

“You all are seriously going too far… … .”

Ban Ji-won, who was neatly spreading the oyster meat with her chopsticks while Ban Joo-seok was sobbing, suddenly spoke.

“Didn’t you say you were having a press conference today, Yumi?”

“… … That’s right, Grandpa. Can you join us too, Grandpa? We’d appreciate it if you did.”

“It’s not right for an old person to keep showing up for the young people’s business. I can’t be in the position where our Won-i should shine.”

After hearing that story, Ban Yu-won tilted his head and asked a question.

“Grandpa, are you part of a guild too?”

“First of all, he is an honorary advisor.”

Indeed, when they push so blatantly and openly, I have nothing to say.

I was nodding in admiration at my grandfather’s subtle teachings that showed me an example of how to use power, when suddenly the doorbell rang from the front door.

“What’s going on this morning? Did you order a delivery?”

“I’m not coming… … Is it the day the housekeeper comes, honey?”

“no?”

“ah.”

Ban Yu-mi touched her forehead while breaking the second pair of chopsticks she had just received.

“This crazy bitch has a limit to how much she can rush… … .”

“Who is it?”

“Don’t be so picky.”

Ban Yu-mi answered briefly, stood up from her seat, and looked at Ruchel.

“Ruchel, take good care of your husband.”

“Are you a woman?”

“Basically, I think of them all as enemies.”

“It looks like there are only women in the guild.”

How can a conversation be held with only a few words?

While Ban Yu-won was wondering strangely, the front door finally opened and a guest came in.

“Wow, daebak. He’s even more handsome in person… … ! Oh, this one’s even prettier in person… … Damn.”

“Good morning, Sister! Oh my, there’s family here today?! I’m screwed, what do I do! Sorry, and it’s mealtime!”

“I’m sorry for making a fuss so early in the morning. I’ll have to excuse myself for a moment for guild business.”

“Huh, huh? Hey, hey hey hey!”

Three of them, too.
