Lesson 61. The Innocent Sinner – 4
Somehow, even after sending Yuwon off, I still felt uneasy. It was all because of that.
Yumina bit her lip as she watched the tower of Babel tilting without end.
From the axis of the leaning tower, something black and huge and ominous could be seen rising one after another.
[Keuk, kehahahahahaha! Finally, finally today is the day I regain my freedom!]
[Yes… … the day of the great exodus of our innocent sinners!]
The main body of the constellation was trying to escape from the tower.
It’s not one or two.
The constellations that had supported the Exodus, as well as several powerful constellations that had been waiting for an opportunity, did not miss this ‘irregular phenomenon’ and joined in.
There have been many instances of people who don’t know the subject targeting the Tower and the Union, but I can say with certainty that nothing like this has ever happened before!
“No, no… … .”
It’s not that I didn’t care about the teacher who enforced the distorted order, but I didn’t want the union to collapse like this.
But what was more worrying was his disciple Ban Yu-won, who had just started a war with the constellations.
Any magical tool or artifact would break down if it came close to the constellation’s clone, but the Tike he created not only vividly relayed the scene of Ban Yu-won and his party destroying the red moon―― it even broadcasted Ban Yu-won’s encounter with the followers of the constellation Man-geop on Union Net after he had finally made it to Prominence.
‘The other constellations are still being held here, so why was it only the followers of the Ten Thousand Kalpas who were released so quickly?’
Fortunately, the Union Net, which had become overloaded due to the impact on the tower, was immediately cut off… … .
Those who had been suspicious of the anomaly on Union Net would soon realize what the constellations that appeared on the Rebellion Channel meant.
‘I have to get this sorted out as quickly as possible, but Yuwon needs me right now… …!’
No matter how great Yuwon is, I don’t think he will be able to easily defeat the main body of the constellation.
Although Aneri, a Platinum member, is attached, her direct combat power is low… … .
The more I thought about Ban Yu-won’s situation, the more my mind became confused.
At times like this, I felt resentful of myself for not being able to go against my teacher’s wishes.
– Minaya, go into the tower. I will open a direct passage for you to them.
“teacher.”
I raised my head absentmindedly at the sound of a voice next to my ear, and saw a giant eye floating in the sky.
In order to destroy the Exodus fleet that had invaded from across dimensions, the General also liberated a part of his true body.
The main force of Exodus, which had attempted a clumsy diversion, had already been crushed and destroyed by the power of the General, so there would be no one in this universe who could refer to Exodus anymore.
-Blink
[Khaaaaaah! Eyes, those eyes! You damn hag!]
[No, it’s not the old lady. It’s the main body. He himself stepped forward!]
[Why, why! Isn’t it time to let us go!]
The problem was on the other side, with the mighty constellations just beginning to emerge from the tower.
Even the president, who is considered absolute, is currently unable to solve the fundamental problems at the tower due to his efforts to suppress the movements of the men.
-Blink
It’s not just the snow floating in the sky.
-Blink blink
Even at this moment, new eyes were sprouting from all directions, exerting their magical powers to hold the constellations back from leaving the tower.
The president created another eye looking at the tower and whispered to Yumina again.
―You are my agent now. You must punish the traitor and restore order to the tower.
“Are you okay? If you use too much force now, she… … .”
―And you have the power to suppress the constellation. Light the flame he has revived now.
Of course, the president knew who was attached to Ban Yu-won and what happened between him and Yumina.
As a result, what Yumina gained was something that even saw through the emotions that were embedded in her heart.
The president’s voice flies towards Yumina, who is unable to continue speaking and remains silent.
– Okay, go. If you come back safely, I will help you become his woman.
“… … Really, you are a coward.”
As if he noticed that Yumina’s mind was becoming complicated as he watched the escaping constellations, he made remarks that encouraged her actions.
She hesitated for a moment, then wanted to ask about her contract constellation, but soon stopped herself.
But the president noticed and answered even the things she didn’t ask.
-When he stands at the top, everything you wish for will come true.
“So, you’re saying that Yuwon is safe?”
―As always, now of course, and always will be.
“Okay, then… I’ll be back.”
Yumina let out a soft sigh and threw herself into the oval gate that had appeared before her eyes.
The gate leading to the depths of the tower resisted accepting her for a moment, perhaps due to the irregular phenomenon occurring in the tower, and sparks flew―― but in the end, it was unable to overcome the president’s authority and let her in.
-Oh my, you came. I thought Zenon would come.
The moment she entered the dark, large hallway, a space without a single torch, a sticky female voice tapped on Yumina’s ear.
I know her true identity.
This is the constellation that showed great interest to Ban Yu-won, the observer of Manan, as soon as he entered the tower.
… … Just like it was with Yumina in the past.
When Ban Yoo-won first told her that she had been contacted, she tried so hard to pretend not to know.
Ban Yu-won doesn’t know it yet, but that’s also why she started to empathize with Ban Yu-won more and care for him.
-He chose you as his new agent?
Yumina, who had sent away her thoughts in response to the persistently questioning constellation, answered in a cold voice.
“I can’t see Zeno. Maybe… …he’s joined hands with traitors.”
– That loyal kid? Interesting, he’s probably jealous of ‘that kid’.
“Xenon… … jealous? Yuwon?”

She inadvertently raises her voice at him, feeling emotions that don’t suit that stone-like man.
The observer of the ten thousand eyes took the opportunity and leaned close to her ear to whisper again.
– Aren’t you jealous of that kid too?
“Maybe so, but I love you more than that.”
-Oh, my. It’s just like me.
The constellation that responded with a snicker to Yumina’s firm response created a single pupil.
The luminous eyes illuminated the dark hallway, and even at this moment, the intricately tangled maze of the tower was being destroyed.
– Then, now we must cooperate with each other to protect the one we love.
“No matter what you do, it won’t go away.”
Unlike the General, the Manan Observer is a staunch enemy.
The observer of Manan laughed and spoke to Yumina, who was holding the holy light in one hand and looked as if her eyes would burst at any moment.
―That child is still too young to be harvested. He is already shining brightly, but he will soon shine even brighter――.
“I won’t leave it as I wish.”
-Yes, we need to join forces now to do that.
… … Maybe the president knew that the observer of Manan would react like this.
No, I would have known for sure.
No matter how much the Holy Light subdues the constellations, when it comes to dealing with the Ten Thousand Eyes Observer who gains power and runs wild, it will not have the strength left to punish the traitor.
But if the observer of Manan joins the army――.
“Okay, let’s join forces.”
-That’s a wise choice.
It’s all to protect Yuwon.
I whispered that to myself and took a step forward.
The observer of the ten thousand eyes guided her to her destination in a truly instantaneous manner, lighting the way with his eyes, and Yumina soon arrived at a larger space―a room that resembled the inside of a machine with countless gears turning here and there.
And a huge stone monument stuck in the center of the floor.
It was now cracked in places, with some of the letters having been erased, and black smoke was rising in their place.
‘The list is… … .’
It was a list of the names of the constellations, and at the same time, a prison to imprison them.
Who would not be surprised to learn that the constellations called Transcendent Beings are the ones who are bound in the Tower of Babel?
The constellations that call themselves innocent sinners.
Cracks were slowly spreading in the prison that held those criminals in the tower.
“Oh, dear. My dear, you rose that is unfortunately blind!”
The person who erased the letters from the tombstone―Alex de Cantoney―was also standing there.
Surprisingly, no one else was seen, so Cantone must have killed them all.
It’s obvious.
Exodus and Cantone had been working together from the beginning to use each other, and now that they had achieved what they wanted, it would have been enough for one of them to covet the fruits of their labor.
And Professor Cantone, although he is a delusional patient who cannot accept reality even when he is pitiful, petty, and dumped by a woman, is one of the most capable people among the full professors of the Academy.
It would have been difficult to defeat him no matter what means were prepared in Exodus.
The constellations that supported the Exodus are now… … .
“How do I look, Mina?”
“I don’t remember giving you permission to call me by my first name, Professor Cantone.”
“No, you have to allow it. I will make it happen.”
The constellations, who were only interested in gaining freedom, were willing to lend their power to the Cantones.
It probably takes a lot of effort to erase the writing on a tombstone, so he must be unconditionally supporting them by asking them to erase his name first.
It was a moment when the relationship between the constellations and humans was reversed, but Yumina felt compassionate towards Cantone who had gained such power.
“That’s not your strength.”
“For now, yes. You are right. But when I get the tower, sooner or later, it will be mine.”
“You don’t know yet. What it means to gain the authority of the Tower… … .”
“Okay, then you’ll tell me?”
The moment Cantone reached out, his psychic power, which was at least two to three times stronger than before, flew in with the force of crushing Yumina.
But as soon as the large pupils that appeared in the air blinked once, the pressure disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Cantone opened his eyes wide in shock.
“That’s the president’s—— No, that can’t be. He should be outside right now?!”
“You’ve never met the observer of the ten thousand eyes, have you?”
“The Observer of the Tower? Have you heard of it? It’s like a ghost story where if you get attention in the tower, you’ll definitely die in the tower before you graduate. No, really?”
-That means you lack talent.
The observer of the ten thousand eyes declared cruelly.
Instead of saying anything to that, Cantone immediately unleashed his maximum power of telekinesis and blew out his pupils.
Taking advantage of that gap, Yumina was able to complete the Holy Light magic.
“control.”
“What?!”
Dozens and hundreds of chains made of dazzling holy light shot out from the magic circle created by Yumina, capturing Cantone’s entire body.
No, not only that, but he wrapped the tombstone tightly, catching the smoke coming out of the erased letters and pushing it back into the tombstone.
“mina?”
“I told you not to call me by my name, Professor Cantone.”
“What is this? It feels like it’s just taking away the power of the constellations. How does this power exist? Mina, Professor Yumina! Answer my question!”
―You judged the tower and the constellations too lightly. The tower’s dominion and the constellations have nothing to do with each other.
The observer of the ten thousand eyes laughed.
She creates pupils in the air again and puts pressure on Cantone.
Cantone skillfully manipulated his telekinesis even while he was chained, and managed to open his eyes again, but it was clear that his power output had been reduced significantly compared to before.
“Professor Yumina! If you don’t solve it now, you’ll regret it. I can knock down this monument right now!”
“That can’t be, Cantone.”
Yumina, who finally took off the title of professor, shined brightly once again.
The flower of holy light bloomed around her――her innate power and the starlight she acquired later in life combined to brightly illuminate the sky, causing all the distorted powers of the transcendent beings to wither away like flowers welcoming winter.
The owners of the letters began to be imprisoned in the tombstones again.
“No, no! Yumina, even you, there are things that cannot be forgiven!”
“It’s late.”
The telekinesis that drew out Cantone’s power took the form of a giant blade and swung at Yumina――and the flower petals and stems that bloomed from her entire body gently accepted it and extinguished it.
Cantone, who saw it, opened his eyes wide and was astonished.
He had been working hard to liberate the constellations, but he had lost the power he had received from them, so his current condition could not have been good.
Even so!
Until recently, there wouldn’t have been this much of a gap between him and her… … !
“I had a contract constellation when I was a student, and when I lost her in an accident, my body’s powers were all messed up and I became half a wreck.”
“Yumina, professor… … .”
“Even in that state, I became a full professor. Now, I have regained my strength thanks to the person I love.”
Do you know what that means?
Yumina smiled bitterly and spread her hands.
Her power, united with the Holy Light, simultaneously blossomed from the earth and the ceiling in the form of brilliant golden thorns, piercing Cantone’s entire body from top to bottom.
“Ugh!”
“The teacher tried to raise me to be the vice president.”
And seeing as how Zeno betrayed him, it seems like he will inevitably end up in that position――.
She had been smiling bitterly at that thought, but now her face hardened as she watched the tombstone vibrating beyond the corpse of Cantone.
Not Cantone. He has already lost his qualification.
So who?
“No, Yuwon, you can’t… …!”
-Kukuku, that’s cool!
He ran like crazy and grabbed the tombstone.
Just as I was about to check the newly engraved letters――.
The top who solved the irregular phenomenon ended up kicking her out.
