Admission is a waste of time (318)
Lesson 62. Change – 3
On Monday, the two-week long exploration that marks the end of a semester――no, of an academic year, begins among the students preparing to enter the tower.
As always, Rebellion received a lot of attention.
It was because of Aire who came to the place where Dokgoyeon disappeared.
“Aire finally joined that team… … .”
“You could probably guess it by watching the videos that have been uploaded to the Rebellion channel recently.”
“Still, that’s ridiculous. Ayre is like a symbol of a higher dimension. But that kind of person is with the students of the special admissions process.”
“Have you forgotten that special admission student took first place this time?”
The Rebellion team took the attention pouring in on them calmly.
I didn’t want to show off or act like a show-off.
Now, for Ban Yoo-won, for any of his teammates, the first-year students――and even for the students at Union Academy―were no longer competitors.
During the recent expedition, they showed great growth both physically and mentally.
It was too much growth to just be buried among the students and laugh out loud.
“It’s a shame, because the team went up to 300 rooms in one school year.”
“There’s nothing we can do. With key members missing, we don’t know when they’ll retire, so it’s a much wiser decision to replenish our strength and start from scratch.”
“Aire, who had been granted exclusive exploration rights, has switched to a team. What is the Dragon’s Descendant thinking?”
“Well? Maybe she wants to make them her own?”
Ayre couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the words she heard among the students.
Because I thought that there could be no word more appropriate to describe the relationship between me and my half-brother.
“Aire?”
“no.”
She shakes her head at the worry in the man’s eyes looking at her, then reaches out and carefully grabs his sleeve.
A tempting yet unpleasant impulse that blossoms the moment you make contact with him.
The instinct that awakened within her on the day she fought Zenon was inciting her to commit acts against her will.
Ire, gritting her teeth and shaking her head to shake off the impulse, opened her mouth, tightening her grip on Ban Yu-won’s sleeve.
“let’s go.”
“Okay. I should go.”
As always, Yumina was standing in front of the tower.
Yumina, who took over as Vice President of Union Academy in place of the missing Zenon, has been avoiding Ban Yu-won for some reason.
The reason was obvious.
Even though Yumina was not at fault for this incident at all, she must have felt uneasy just because she became the Vice President under the orders of the President who was behind all the incidents.
It’s a pity.
“professor.”
“everyone…….”
We have a lot to say to each other, but none of it is appropriate to share here.
Yumina, who had been looking at each of the group one by one, met their eyes and finally faced Aire, reached out and held her hand tightly.
“Aire, I’ll take care of our team.”
“Yes, professor.”
Aire, who respected Yumina, stood up stiffly, feeling very motivated by the request she made while even holding her hand.
Yumina seemed satisfied with that and was about to step aside, but Ban Yuwon wouldn’t leave her alone.
Yumina froze stiffly like a cat wearing a doll’s clothes as he placed his hand on her shoulder, chin resting on it.
“I know everything, so it’s okay.”
“Yuwon, ah… … .”
“I will save them all. All of them.”
Do you know what I mean? Yumi-na, who was speechless as she faced Ban Yu-won who was looking at her, remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and firmly squeezed Ban Yu-won’s hand that was stretched out on her shoulder.
“Thank you, I’ll ask.”
“great.”
Ban Yu-won smiled faintly and passed her by.
Other team members passed by her one after another and said something.
“Tomato will call you sister.”
“5th century… … .”
“Please leave the amusement park to me, Professor.”
Yumina considered pulling the hair of Ruchel, who had openly brought up her age while pretending to be talking to herself, but Ruchel quickly clung to Ban Yuwon’s left arm.
Amidst so much interest, envy, jealousy and worry, Rebellion entered the tower.
Of course, because a new member joined and the top’s strategy record was reset, they had to start over from the first room――but no one was worried about falling behind others in strategy.
That would be the case.
“Elite monster… … It looks like the top is determined as well.”
“Come on, multi-shift.”
“Let’s go without letting our guard down. The constellations will probably be watching us too.”
The power that Ban Yu-won possesses to find the fastest route.
The top has prepared multiple shifts for capable attackers and the resulting increased difficulty.
The constellation’s attention is directed towards the Rebellion members who were at the center of this situation in many ways, directly confronting and destroying the main body of the constellation.
Now they were all happy.
How far up the tower did we climb? We didn’t enter the field room so we couldn’t tell what time it was, but it must have been evening.
-Goooooooooooo!
“Oh, even if it’s a low level, if it overlaps nine times, such a horrible monster will appear.”
As soon as he left Eden and entered the room, Ban Yu-won was amazed by the result of nine rooms being combined into one through a multi-shift.

Elite monsters born from multiple shifts appear in one of two main patterns: one is a chimera-shaped monster that seems to be a combination of all the monsters in the skipped room, and the other is a true monster with special powers that transcend the limits of its species due to the intention of a specific constellation or worldview.
From the perspective of a semi-academic who wanted to come into contact with and collect various linguistic concepts, the latter was naturally preferred, but it was highly likely that a sloppy chimeric elite would appear at the lower levels.
“It’s almost as if the tower is trying to send us up higher, eight.”
-Keeek!
With dozens of eyes, dozens of arms, and a nasty chitinous carapace, the creature looked like a standing, moving, raccoon-like chimera, and Ruchel made a plausible argument as he dispatched it with a single blast of his brain.
“Of course, they’ll be after us. They won’t want us squatting on the lower floors.”
“That’s what we want. To get to the top quickly.”
“That’s right.”
Aire, who was listening to the conversation between the two, felt slightly dizzy.
Even if it was just climbing the tower again, it was rare for someone to experience such a drastic change, but Aire couldn’t help but be flustered when Ban Yu-won, Ruchel, and the multi-shift seemed to take it for granted.
“Asha.”
As she felt the monsters disappear and the shift to Eden occur, Aire quietly called her friend’s name.
Asha, who had been bored without even having time to swing her sword once, turned her head and responded with a “Huh?”
“How many times have you experienced multiple shifts?”
“How many times… … It happened every time I entered the tower?”
“… … .”
On the day they finally entered the tower, the group went through several multiple shifts and finally reached room 40 in just one day.
“ah!”
“at las!”
When Aire saw Ban Yu-won, who had arrived at Eden for the fourth time today, exclaiming in surprise, she tilted her head and looked around, and indeed, something surprising was happening.
The Fruit of Eden, which even among the students who attend Union Academy and steadily climb the tower, if you are unlucky, you will not see even once until graduation.
The fruit of life, which was said to fill you up with just one bite, heal all kinds of wounds, and even increase your abilities in rare cases, was hanging from a tree trunk that had grown through the ceiling.
Airedo, who had always achieved excellent results while conducting solo explorations, was seeing so many lives with such rare results that his eyes lit up, but Ban Yu-won suddenly reached out his hand into the air.
“policy?”
“Oh, I guess you haven’t seen Aire yet.”
“Because they definitely edit it out even in the videos that are uploaded to the Rebellion channel.”
Soon, a scene that was hard to believe even after seeing it with one’s own eyes was created.
From the hand of Ban Yu-won, along the golden thread of mana, the life forms that opened in Eden began to flow in as golden strings.
At the end of the line is a jam jar held in Ban Yu-won’s other hand.
That’s something Iredo is also well aware of.
“Oh, that one.”
Even Ayre had guessed that the power of Ban Yu-won was an omnipotent power that could interpret and manipulate all things in its own way.
But who would have thought that he could even control the life that is given to only one person at a time as he pleased!
Aire, who was watching the process of collecting all the life fruits and turning them into jam, leaving only enough for each person in the group to eat, muttered in astonishment.
“That’s why that candy was so great… … .”
Although he had only been exploring with them for one day, Ire felt as if he had been surprised by everything he had ever been surprised by in his entire life.
It’s also natural for Ban Yoo-won to find a way to clear the room quickly.
Multiple shifts overlap several times, so rooms 1 through 9 are skipped.
It’s as if they were waiting for the rare chance of life in Eden, and they are all being swept up in it.
It was something that students who usually climbed the tower would never dare to dream of.
‘As expected, Yuwon is different.’
So it was natural that the president would pay attention to Ban Yu-won.
Yumina has no choice but to rely on Ban Yu-won and place her hopes on him.
Ire herself thought she knew enough about Ban Yu-won, but what she knew was only half or less.
“It would have been nice if the bloodline was flowing, but I guess it was difficult because it was on a low floor.”
Ban Yu-won, who had finished his work, sat down on the soft Eden bed and bit into the apple he had left for himself.
Life boasts a sweetness that cannot be found anywhere else.
Even if you climb the tower because you want to eat life fruit, you’ll nod your head.
‘Ah, it’s borne fruit. Hmm… … It’s only natural since you’ve been active this time too. Hmm, hmm.’
I tried hard not to think about it.
I couldn’t help but recall the bright smile on Dokgo Yeon’s face when he saw the tree of life growing in Eden.
It was also cute how he tried not to show his colleagues how happy he was at seeing the fruit of life.
Although his eyes, which could see through people’s minds, were sharper than those of Ban Yu-won, who had the ability to read all people, he was really bad at hiding his true feelings.
He was such a strong person, yet so cute.
“Should we stop here for today?”
When Ruchel saw him sitting blankly in thought and smiled faintly, Ban Yu-won was startled and jumped up.
“No, let’s go a little further. Let’s eat dinner, rest a little, and then clear up to room 50, neatly.”
“I want to rest with my master, heh.”
“you.”
Ruchel threw a tantrum and clung to Ban Yu-won.
Just as Aire frowned and was about to raise her voice, Asha stopped her and shook her head.
And then all of a sudden, he started stretching unnaturally and started talking.
“Oh, I’m tired too! And I’m so hungry, I don’t think I can explore any further today.”
“what?”
“Yuwon, I want to eat that from last time. Shrimp fried in oil… … .”
“Ha, these little rascals.”
Ban Yoo-won smiled bitterly at the sight of his teammates clinging to him, but he obediently complied with their demands.
When Ayre saw that the agony and sadness on his face had gradually faded, she realized that they were acting with Ban Yu-won in mind.
I also wanted to melt into it.
I can’t replace Dokgo Yeon, but in fact, I don’t want to.
She wanted to be Aire of Rebellion, not Dokgoyeon.
“… … I’m curious about Yuwon’s cooking too. Feed me.”
“There are only rascals. Okay, then let’s rest today and start running hard from tomorrow. The goal is to get back to the original position within two weeks, that is, reach 300 rooms.”
Ruchel also smiled and joined in on Ban Yoo-won’s declaration that he had regained his spirit.
“Even when I was much weaker than I am now, I was able to go from 250 rooms to 300 rooms in three days. It wouldn’t be difficult now.”
“I’m going to run so hard, I need to massage my legs. Yuwon, can you give me a massage?”
“Light?”
“No, what is that massage?”
“Oh, you’re really going to do it?! Okay, wait a minute. Okay, okay. Here, here, here. I want you to massage these places… … .”
“Light?”
Despite focusing on getting the new members to match their style during the two-week exploration, Rebellion managed to break through the tower and reach room 250.
Although it wasn’t the 300 room I was aiming for, it was an absurd speed, and this alone put me at the top of the first year class.
As the tower gets higher, the difficulty level increases dramatically, so it may not be possible to conquer it in this way in the future, and for some reason, it feels like the difficulty level has increased compared to the last exploration…
No matter how difficult the task was, there was no time to procrastinate.
To avoid that, there was someone I had to ask for help.
Ban Yu-won decided to go find Cheon-ma.
