Admission is a waste of time (271)
Lesson 53. Equivalent Exchange – 3
– The Demon King’s daughter! That demon has shown herself fearlessly in space!
―His Majesty has ordered that the head of the demon be cut off. I will repay my debt to the demon king today!
The universe became noisy.
This is something we’ve experienced in the D-13 dimension as well, but the difference is that it wasn’t invaders from outside, but battleships flying from planet Diavolo all flying towards us.
They have been tightening their siege by exchanging signs in real time over a secure intranet, not just through simple voice signals.
“Of course, security means nothing to Lilith.”
[Ahem.]
Since devouring the meteor, Lilith has been able to exert significant influence and interference on external machinery, communications networks, and spacecraft.
I guess the power extracted from the fragments of the constellation combined with the power of the half-circle that governed all concepts, giving Lilith a new unique power… … .
The scope of its power was so immense that it could receive enemy fleets’ communications and broadcast them into the ship before they even came into view in this vast space.
“so.”
Mira turned her gaze to Shati, who was covering her face with both hands, and boldly asked the question that everyone was thinking about but never dared to say out loud.
“What do you mean by ‘Emma’, Shati?”
“Kyahahaha… … This is embarrassing.”
Why is there no strength in Shati’s unique laughter?
She explained briefly, slowly avoiding Ban Yoo-won’s gaze.
“The Umma are one of the lower races of the Evil Ones. The most successful ones among the Umma are the Mongma (夢魔), but even among them, they are somewhere between the demons and the monsters.”
“That’s right… I knew it from the beginning, but the word ‘umma’ is a derogatory term for a senior.”
“that’s right.”
But she’s not called “Emma” by them for nothing.
There’s no way they would just put it on just because it’s pretty.
Ban Yu-won, who had been freely imagining things in her head for a moment, became convinced that no matter how she spoke, it would be considered s*xual harassment, so she kept her mouth shut.
“That… … Planning Director? No.”
“Of course.”
“I think you’re misunderstanding me right now?”
“I don’t misunderstand.”
“Lies! You’re avoiding my gaze right now!”
“Hey, stop fooling around with my boyfriend and explain quickly.”
When Mira, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed her and spoke in a voice that was full of curses, Shati finally sighed and explained the situation.
“The kids coming over there now… … They’re kids from the Human Empire, and the guy who’s like the Third Prince of that Empire had a crush on me and kept trying to seduce me by telling me to come to the Empire. It was about a year before I entered the Academy.”
Except for Ban Yoo-won, all the members’ eyes were fixed on her.
Regardless of race, stories related to love always attract people’s attention.
However, Ban Yu-won felt a strange emotion while listening to that story, thinking, ‘It seems like those imperial bastards don’t treat the demons as humans.’
Since they have lost their basic awareness, war is inevitable.
“So? What happened?”
[Are you handsome?]
Shati shrugged her shoulders and answered Mira, who was questioning her coldly, and Lilith, who was interfering with her with sparkling eyes.
“He was uglier than our planning manager, and he kept pestering me so much that I killed him. He wasn’t my type either.”
“Lord, kill me… … ?”
“First of all, it wasn’t a love story.”
“Then why do those guys call you ‘Emma’?”
“Well, I guess it would have been better to say that he died from having his life energy sucked out by the evil magic of the lord than to say that he died from a broken neck.”
Ban Yu-won responded indifferently to Shati’s giggling words.
“If my senior was ugly, I would have said other bad things about him. That’s how all negative propaganda is, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
His indifferent consolation seemed to make Shati feel a little better.
Hehe, with her usual smile, she poked his shoulder for no reason.
“Kyaha, are you trying to seduce me right now?”
“I can’t say anything now.”
Ban Yu-won, who had snickered at her, turned his gaze to the monitor in front of him, recalling the saying that silence is golden.
“Release, have you gotten their information?”
[Yes, I will now call them in order of strength. First, the strongest one is the one riding the red spaceship in the center… … .]
The power of the release not only helped in eavesdropping, but also in determining the opponent’s power from a distance, and as expected from an A-class dimension, the internal power of the spaceship was also at an incredible level.
Not only were there over a thousand people with the ability of 4 Erectos on each ship, but the flagship in the center of the fleet of twenty spaceships was manned by a master whose power would have been difficult to read if it weren’t for Lilith’s enhanced powers.
A whopping 2,000 lives, 8 erectors!
In terms of momentum, he is someone who surpasses even Dokgo Yeon, the best in the group.
After hearing Lilith’s kind explanation, Ban Yu-won looked back at Shati in a dazed state.
“Are they perhaps the elite of the Imperium of Man?”
“What a shame, right below that. There is the Knights of the Emperor of the Human Empire, and below that are the Knights of the Imperial Guard. I think they are those guys. It’s the first time I’ve shown myself so vulnerable, and they’ve come in droves.”
Since the main stage of Ban Yu-won’s activities is the Union, there are some things that are easy to misunderstand.
That is the fact that the students of the Union, who are held up as the best talents in the world, are only evaluated for their potential, and at present, they are not the strongest in the dimension.
Due to the influence of mana, the ability users of each world have longevity even if they are not of the Silk Fairy Tribe, and even if they are not talented enough to be selected for the Union Academy, if they level up for several decades, they will eventually become higher in level than the Academy students.
The upper dimension was rich in mana and easy to grow, so there were many experts, but danger was lurking everywhere.
So, when staying in the A-4 dimension, Diavolo, Shati never roamed the universe like this.
It wasn’t like he was stuck in the Demon King’s Castle, but at least he was staying deep in the Demon Realm where the Human Empire didn’t dare enter.
He had been especially careful after accidentally going out of the demon world and encountering the Third Prince, who stalked him.
“I see, during the vacation, the academy will teleport you straight home.”

“I didn’t know I would come back so proudly in the name of special activities, but it doesn’t feel so bad when I see people flocking to me like a swarm of ants just to see my face. Kyahahaha!”
It appears that Shati has completely returned to her normal condition.
Ban Yu-won was troubled as he watched the spaceships gradually closing in on him.
“Those guys, their level of military power may be high, but their level of technology doesn’t seem that high.”
“There are considerable differences in civilizations even in Class A dimensions. Most of those are ships that were stolen and modified from dimensional pirates.”
“Dimensional pirates are getting beaten up here… … .”
“There was a sense of disunity in the spaceship,” Ban Yu-won asked Shati, understanding.
“I don’t think I can keep up with the release speed, so should I just shake you off and go into the Demon Realm?”
“The Demon King is the kind of person who would intercept me if I went in with my tail attached.”
“Okay, then here we have Abel exclusively for the universe… … .”
“no.”
Shati reached out and stopped Ban Yu-won, who was trying to present Abel, a more powerful combined robot by adding concepts he had collected so far, as well as strengthening the release.
“I’ll step forward. That bastard is probably peeking at me gloomily anyway.”
“Shati?”
At her friend’s worried gaze, wondering if she would be okay against a level 200 enemy, Shati lifted up the back of her hand with the power engraved on it and smiled.
“I came here to show you this from the beginning anyway. I have to break that order.”
If we were to discuss Shati before the power modification, he boasted skills that allowed him to reach the top of the third year, beating out the top students of the special class based on his profound magical power and the strong body characteristic of the Evil One.
However, that doesn’t mean that it was at a level where one could discuss the strongest in the Academy… … This time, with Ban Yu-won’s help, he modified his power and his strength more than doubled in an instant.
When I became a third-year student and made a contract with a constellation that I had good compatibility with, I was able to completely surpass Mira, who I had briefly been on par with.
Enough to turn around the heart of a father who was disappointed in his daughter who could not handle her power properly.
“Because the Demon Realm is nearby, the magical power required for summoning is less than half of the usual amount. That means the output has doubled.”
“Please fight in moderation.”
“Okay, I’ll be back. Take care, everyone.”
Shati winked at Ban Yu-won and turned around, then boldly threw herself out of the spaceship.
The magical power that shimmered like a blazing flame enveloped her entire body and accelerated her, so that she looked like a small comet as she dashed towards the Human Empire fleet in a long trail of light.
“It doesn’t seem like my strength has changed much… … .”
Dokgoyeon, who could not find the source of the confidence overflowing from Shati, tilted his head and muttered.
Even if her power has changed, it would be difficult to read the change unless her magical power or body has changed dramatically.
“Focus on software rather than hardware.”
“I am quite confident in my ability to discern the depth of human martial arts, as well as sorcery and other arts… … Hmm?”
Dokgo Yeon, who had been squinting her eyes and chasing Hye-seong’s tail, suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Immediately afterwards, starting from the front of the fleet, the spaceships began to explode one by one!
“her.”
“Wow… … .”
Dokgo Yeon simply reacts as if she is amazed, and Ruchel claps her hands as if she is genuinely amazed.
Meanwhile, Ayre, who instantly realized the power’s activation principle while watching the terrible chain of explosions occurring in space, had a terrified expression on her face.
“Even if it’s a monster, it’s using the rejection reaction of life fusion to cause an explosion. It’s more evil than the power of the Evil One I knew.”
“It doesn’t even have to go as far as a rejection reaction. It’s just a forced collapse. It’s that powerful.”
“Even looking at it again, it’s still ridiculous. It’s not just twice as much. If you just look at the raw firepower, it’s at least three times more… … .”
While listening to Mira’s words of admiration, Ban Yu-won was thinking that it was fortunate that Shati’s hair was also red. When he turned around, he saw Dokgo Yeon turning her head with a disinterested expression.
“It’s certainly powerful, but it’s too slow to manifest. It can only be used as a siege weapon.”
“Well, it might feel slow to a veteran like you.”
It is said that when the power is manifested, a strong suction force is created around the area and the target’s movements are restricted, but if you can read the timing of the power’s manifestation and quickly withdraw your body like Dokgo Yeon, then no matter how high the attack power is, it is meaningless.
Additionally, the fact that each attack has an excessively wide range is also a problem worth considering.
In a vast universe like now, it was a perfect power to deal with the huge spaceships that were keeping a distance from you, but it would be difficult to use it properly in a one-on-one fight.
“Anyway, in the current situation, there’s nothing like that.”
“Shati alone buried half the fleet… … .”
Mira mutters in horror as she watches the chain of explosions growing larger and larger through the monitor as powers are continuously manifested.
That was when.
“One person escaped from the spaceship.”
Aire, who was evaluating Shati with an interesting expression from a different perspective than Dokgoyeon, who handles magic, suddenly muttered.
“Probably the strongest person.”
“I guess you realized that if you stay inside the spaceship, you’ll sink along with it. You have to go help.”
Shati’s power is certainly great, but when it comes to a master with 2,000 life, just like Dokgoyeon said, even his movement speed is on a whole other level.
Shati uses a fighting style that mixes martial arts and magic, so he is not pushed back in close combat, but his opponents are too strong to face alone from the front.
However, Mira stopped Ban Yu-won from stepping forward to support her.
“He’s someone who knew about the existence of Go Soo from the beginning. He’ll probably have some kind of method. Let’s just wait and see.”
“Who were you most worried about… … Huh?”
It was that very moment.
At some point, the explosion spreading out in space began to converge into one point.
Ban Yu-won was astonished by that.
What a power that still controls even the explosions that he himself caused with his own power!
If that’s true, then the reason she blew up the outer perimeter of the fleet instead of the more effective tactic of attacking the flagship first was to take advantage of the chain of explosions!
“Ah, the enemy noticed it too. They’re rushing towards Shati――!”
The one who realized that a terrible disaster was about to occur moved to avoid the energy being concentrated at one point and reached out to Shati.
Perhaps he thought that if he killed Shati he would not be affected by the explosion, but the sword left his hand and rushed towards Shati, cutting through space at the speed of a ray of light――.
Just then, a small red glass ball that had emerged from the explosion of the entire fleet of spaceships struck the creature’s back.
And that was the end of it.
The magical power, processed into a frighteningly sophisticated form, did not explode, but rather disintegrated the object it came into contact with into atoms and disappeared along with it.
What that meant was that the bastard had no concept of death left.
“I’ve seen Professor Zenon handle that before.”
―It’s one of the highest forms of magical power. Just like the energy you handle. … … It seems like that kid didn’t intend to rely solely on the power you gave him. Judging from how he acquired that kind of power in such a short period of time.
Selon kindly explained to Ban Yu-won, who was vaguely mumbling about the spectacle that was beyond his expectations.
Anyway, it looks like support is no longer needed.
As he watched Shati return triumphantly after annihilating the entire Imperium of Man’s star fleet, he couldn’t help but admit that the power he had modified with his own impromptu ideas had brought about more tremendous results than he had expected.
