Admission is a waste of time (280)
Lesson 54. Things you shouldn’t touch – 5
“uh.”
The moment he reached out without thinking and unleashed his power, Ban Yu-won realized that something was different than usual.
Not because someone else, or the tower, influenced it.
This is because he succeeded in creating a goblin purely with his own abilities.
-Kiruk!
A goblin that was just born again by the hands of Ban Yu-won, using the countless dregs emitted by the tower as material.
The monster stared at him for a moment, as if it knew that it was Banyuwon and not the top who had created him. Then, it bowed its head to him and disappeared into the hole in the ceiling along with the other goblins.
“ah.”
Celon, who was leisurely drinking black tea with the chocolate that Ban Yu-won had brought, also let out a blank exclamation when he saw it.
“That was fast.”
“I know…….”
Although the tower had prepared everything, the feeling of creating a living thing with one’s own hands felt special to Ban Yu-won.
Of course, there are those like Eve and Lilith who were originally inanimate objects but gained self-awareness and became living beings or higher, but they are only cases where objects that originally had a distinct form gained self-awareness and grew through stages.
On the other hand, the goblin he had just created? It was a creature created from scratch, made up of life, a devil, a tiny amount of soul, and a tiny amount of swordsmanship as its individuality.
“You have become the Creator.”
“It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was created from nothing.”
“The average person wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.”
“That’s true, though.”
If it weren’t for this [birthplace], where the remnants of life constantly flow in and new life is gained through the mystery of the tower, it would have taken him much longer to reach this level.
So what could he do now? In fact, he still didn’t have the confidence to create anything other than goblins.
More cases, more practice is needed.
This space also seemed to understand it, and immediately moved him to [the next maternity ward].
No, it might be more appropriate to call it a factory.
“Wow, the scale has suddenly increased.”
“Where on earth is a place like this on the tower… … .”
First of all, the room they were in got a little bigger, and instead of the holes in the floor and ceiling, doors leading to other rooms appeared on the walls on all four sides.
Each door had a nameplate with the name of a different monster written on it, so each of those rooms must have been performing the same function as the goblin’s spawning grounds just a little while ago.
The central room they were in, which was connected to all the other maternity wards, had a large sofa and table similar to the ones in the goblin maternity ward, as well as a very soft-looking bed.
“What, why is there a bed like that… … You really?!”
Even as the space distorted and shifted, Celon, who had been calmly sitting and drinking tea, suddenly noticed the bed and his complexion distorted. He quickly stood up and scolded him.
“Are you going to take advantage of the fact that we’re alone together to do something weird to me? Like you did to that perverted fairy or that lewd beast!”
“You’re so careless about Mira and Lucille not being here, you. And I’m not the one who made the bed here, so calm down.”
“Now that I think about it, that’s what happened.”
Judging by the way she immediately calmed down and sat down, it seemed like it was just a prank of hers.
Sometimes, you can see a strange sense of humor in him. But is that because Celon is older than Yumina despite his appearance?
“Didn’t you just curse me inwardly?”
“No, not at all? Let’s check those out instead.”
“Go home. I’ll be here drinking tea.”
“… … Then, properly infuse the talisman with holy light.”
Ban Yu-won checked the eight visits in order, starting from the left.
There were monsters representing the tower, such as tower spiders and crustaceans, and surprisingly, there were also monsters and trolls mixed in that I had never encountered before, except for Asha.
Come to think of it, Asha said she dealt with a troll during her entrance exam, who would have thought that was a foreshadowing?
Ban Yu-won, who had been checking all eight maternity rooms while having a fantasy that was impossible and how the concept was recovered and new monsters were created inside them, nodded vigorously and returned to the central room.
“You’re back?”
Selon, who had been putting his teacup aside and working on evenly bestowing holy light on dozens of talismans, tilted his head as he held them out to Ban Yu-won.
He used the ring’s power to seal them all before the light could escape from the amulets, then shrugged as he returned them to his inventory.
“I just created a goblin, so it’s probably too much for me. I’ve spent a lot of time on it, so let’s go back for today.”
“okay…….”
“why?”
When Ban Yu-won, who felt uneasy at seeing him looking at her with a lukewarm expression, asked in return, Selon put down his teacup and answered honestly.
“It seems to me that what you’re going through now is a lesson in training to become a tower manager. Do you feel the same way?”
“You were thinking that from the beginning?”
“okay…….”
Celon kept his mouth shut and seemed to think about something, then looked around and shook his head, saying it was enough.
“I’ll talk to you later. It’s not that important.”
“No, don’t you know that you’ll be punished for making people feel uneasy like this? Don’t make them feel uncomfortable and tell me quickly.”
“I just――I was just thinking about why Top was giving you this kind of education. It was too artificial of a structure.”
――Of course, that’s because it was an arrangement made by our ancestors.
Ban Yu-won, who was about to say that, soon closed his mouth.
Since Celon is also half his subordinate, I have some idea of how he is connected to the Tower of Babel.
Even knowing that, the fact that you insisted on saying such a thing… … does that mean you doubt your ancestors?
Or the Chancellor and Zenon?
Either way, Ban Yoo-won has also considered the possibility, but he cannot reject the other side of the tower that allows his talent to blossom.
As he was called, he was on an unstoppable run from the moment he first entered the Tower of Babel under the name of solo exploration, no, from the moment he saw the Tower of Babel standing tall in Union Academy and decided to enroll.
‘Still, it’s good timing.’
He also thought that it was time to find out more.

In particular, isn’t there someone who would know more about the origins of the tower and the world than anyone else?
This is about the dragon Ayre, who inherited the legacy of the True Dragon, and the Melodia family that supports her.
Especially since Aire herself had told me to come over and play during the vacation――.
‘I can’t go during the vacation because I have to go to Yeon’s dimension, but my business will only be done in one day anyway. If I take it out as a special activity like I went to Shati-senpai’s dimension last time… ‘
“I know what you’re thinking, but stop.”
Selon, who shared his thoughts, shook his head with a terrified expression.
“You told me to come over during the vacation and then you just went to take care of your business? If that was done to the man I was interested in, I would have put a curse on him with all my spiritual power.”
“It’s okay. Just say that you came to say hello because you feel bad about not being able to go during the vacation.”
“You were aware that you were doing something bad?”
However, Ban Yu-won did not realize that he did not need to go to the Melodia family to find out the truth he wanted.
Didn’t Aire already kindly warn him?
The ruins where the True Dragon slept have awakened, and there is not much time left until they become active.
* * *
Aside from his training at the top, he had a mountain of work to do.
Helping out special admission seniors who are nearing the end of their magic thesis and have yet to find their direction.
I need to set a date to visit Mira’s dimension and contact my older sister in advance.
Yumina still wanted to spend time alone with him, using the excuse that she had to teach him magic, and she couldn’t miss out on student council work.
This week, I also had plans to climb the tower with my colleagues, which I hadn’t done in a long time, perhaps because of my mood.
“Haaam.”
Thursday night.
After finishing his duel with Dokgoyeon, Ban Yuwon yawned as he conceptualized all the dirt on his body and got rid of it all, even though he was too lazy to go wash up.
Dokgo Yeon, who saw that, blinked and asked.
“Are you sleepy?”
“Yeah, uh-uhm――a little.”
Originally, Ban Yu-won had excellent power and the soul level that came with it, so his endurance was quite strong compared to his level of military power. However, after receiving the Tree of Life and Blood from Eden, he hardly ever got tired.
If not, I wouldn’t have been able to endure the grueling schedule that started at the beginning of the second semester and continued until the Union Foundation Day…
“It’s a little early for you, but… … I think it’d be better to rest today.”
Even after the founding ceremony, Dokgoyeon realized that Banyuwon was not becoming more relaxed, but rather was becoming busier.
This is because, as Ban Yu-won was able to exert real influence on multiple levels beyond the student level, there were more and more beings who wanted to do things by relying on his special powers.
Moving for the sake of not only yourself but also your colleagues has been a constant since the beginning of your freshman year, but now it feels like there are a lot more people who fall into the category of colleagues.
‘The qualities of a ruler.’
Dokgo Yeon himself has that too, but I dare say that his skills are on a different level.
What more can I say about the inclusiveness that even embraces those who stand out like themselves?
However, compared to the large bowl, Ban Yu-won himself could not be said to be that strong.
Dokgo Yeon’s diagnosis was that although he still possesses great abilities and his ability to think and execute is at a level where he can accomplish things beyond his abilities, his mental strength is still at a human level.
“Ah―― That’s right. I’ll go to bed. Thank you for the training today, Yeon.”
“No, just a moment.”
“?”
Dokgo Yeon instinctively stopped Ban Yoo-won, but then had to rack his brain because he didn’t know what to say next.
But soon, a plausible excuse crossed my mind.
“You won’t be able to rest properly if you go back to your dorm room where that idiot is waiting. He doesn’t even know what kind of condition you’re in and is just pestering you.”
“You guys really don’t have any forgiveness for Asha… … .”
“That’s the same for me too,” Ban Yu-won said with a grin.
Dokgo Yeon clenched his fists as if he had made a big decision, and suddenly sat down in the center of the training room.
“Come on….”
“huh……?”
“I didn’t sweat.”
“No, that’s not what I’m talking about. … … Huh?”
“Lie down.”
“huh?!”
As Ban Yu-won approached him hesitantly, surprisingly, Dokgo Yeon laid him down on her lap.
Even though it was clear that he had trained to the limit, the thigh supporting the back of his head felt reasonably soft and pleasant.
“What?! What are you doing?”
“I just thought it would be better to stop here and rest for a bit before going.”
It was a firm voice that did not allow any other conclusion.
Ban Yu-won, who was lying on her lap, was very nervous as she recalled the words that Moo-myung had left for her, but Dok-go Yeon, who had actually carried out such bold skinship, was also blushing and not knowing what to do, so it seemed as if she did not know how he was feeling.
“Father, aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“It’s so good.”
“Is that so… … .”
“I’ll do it next time.”
“Who! … … But I think you made that offer because you wanted to be fair, so I’ll accept it just this once.”
Dokgo Yeon reflexively screamed loudly, but then he thought of himself lying down with his head on Ban Yu-won’s lap and gave in to the temptation.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Ban Yu-won, who had already felt energized just by receiving Dokgo Yeon’s lap pillow, took out a small chocolate from his inventory to repay her.
Today, I also ate Celon at the top. It was an arranged version of the original expensive chocolate, in which Ban Yu-won injected various concepts into it to add various effects and a deeper flavor.
“Ah―― Try it.”
Ban Yu-won was thinking of doing what Dokgo Yeon had previously been unable to do because of Ruchel and Asha’s feelings.
“… … Won, haven’t you ever thought that I’m in a good position to subdue you right now?”
“There are only two of us. There’s no need to be embarrassed, so hurry.”
“This guy is getting… … .”
But Dokgo Yeon, who was saying that, was already slightly lowering her head so that he could easily reach her and opening her mouth slightly.
When Ban Yu-won holds out the chocolate, she bites it cautiously, fearing that his finger might touch her lips.
As I quietly observed her expression, I realized that I could no longer tell the difference between a tomato and Dokgoyeon.
“delicious?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know anything.”
Dokgo Yeon, filled with shame, tension, and other embarrassing emotions, opened her mouth again.
The fact that her voice still pretended to be Taeyeon was truly hers.
“I guess I’ll have to try one more to find out. Ah, ahh――.”
But the content of what he was saying was full of desire, which made Ban Yu-won burst into laughter.
After that, I was forced to practice again.
