Admission is a waste of time (32)
Lesson 8. This technique is mine – 2
“I have no intention of telling you.”
It was something Ban Yu-won quickly blurted out as soon as he figured out why people were approaching him.
How to film inside a tower? You just need to combine concepts appropriately to create a camera that captures ghosts and demons.
But if we make it for others, wouldn’t the advantage of the channel that Rebellion occupies disappear?
‘Furthermore, there is no specific manufacturing technique, so in the end I have to make it myself. But I know how many people will ask me to make it, so I will make it for them one by one.’
So he made a firm declaration to those who approached him.
The Rebellion Channel will continue to be the only one!
He had no doubt that doing so would bring about the waning of his popularity, which had come to him unwillingly and had made Dokgoyeon, Light, and Ruchel uncomfortable.
I had no doubts.
“I just want to be friends with you… … If you don’t like it, just say so.”
“Huh? Uh… … No, it’s not that I don’t like it, but honestly, we don’t know each other.”
“Since you don’t know, let’s find out now! Oh, there’s a mirror, right? Let’s exchange codes. Do you have to save it properly as Yurika?”
“The student council is always waiting for someone like you. I am Graham, and we will meet again someday.”
People did not back down.
While Ban Yu-won hesitated, saying, “This is not it,” dozens of new codes were registered on his mirror.
It all happened in the short time it took to eat breakfast.
Only then did Ban Yu-won come to the conclusion that they wanted something more fundamental than simply a ‘camera to take pictures inside the tower’.
It is Ban Yu-won himself.
“It must be nice to be popular, Ban.”
“Well, we’re still friends, right…?”
While Light glared from the side, Ruchel asked with an anxious expression.
Only Dokgo Yeon was looking at him with an expression of interest.
No, maybe he was just looking at the jar of jam in his hand.
“Honestly, I didn’t realize that it was that great compared to your other abilities… … But when I see people acting like that, it seems like the things you make are really special. Can you protect them?”
“There’s no need to guard or sleep. Conflicts between students are strictly prohibited, so what if they attack me?”
“But you go outside too, right?”
Ban Yu-won stopped moving at Dokgo Yeon’s sharp remark.
“I see?”
Many students have connections outside the school.
Among the upperclassmen, there are even those who receive permission to go out like Ban Yu-won.
This means that even if he is attacked in a place that is not under the watchful eye of the Academy, there is no way to stop it.
“I suddenly got a headache. I guess I’ll have to be careful for a while.”
Fortunately, going back and forth between the dungeon and school is possible without being disturbed by others.
He muttered with a rotten face and put jam on the water cracker that Dokgoyeon offered.
By the way, these water crackers were actually a snack prepared out of Ban Yu-won’s own pocket.
He had to make elixir jam for himself and the other members of Class 11 every day, but there was no guarantee that there would always be a menu that was suitable for eating jam with, so he decided to just make crackers.
“Ban Yu-won, there’s only half the jam left.”
“It’s okay. I’ve already spoken to the fruit shop. I’m sure they’ll be able to secure enough stock to make a new jam.”
“When that time comes, tell me and I will personally escort you.”
If Dokgo Yeon follows him, he is invincible.
Ban Yu-won, who had finished making an offering to Dokgo Yeon, who had become very gentle in front of Gammi, gave some jam to Light and Ruchel as well, then sighed and took a bite of his share of crackers.
At that moment, Light, who was chewing on a jam-covered cracker, suddenly tapped Ban Yu-won’s wrist.
“Ban, your machine… … that, the mirror.”
“Huh? Ah.”
The mirror in his arms was flashing, indicating that a message had been received.
It was a personal contact from Yumina, who had exchanged codes with me.
I wish it had been a sweet proposal for a secret meeting, but the reality was cruel.
Light tilted his head as he saw a wrinkle forming on his forehead.
“Is that a bad thing?”
“We have one more lecture to attend.”
“what?”
The academy’s curriculum was similar to that of Korean universities.
This means that once you decide before the semester starts, it won’t change during the semester.
There was one exception, however, and that was the lectures given by full professors.
They are entitled to accept any students they wish to teach during the semester.
The new lecture that the members of Class 11 are receiving is ‘Babylon and the Constellations’ by a professor named Zeno.
Originally, it was a subject that only upperclassmen (4th graders and above) could take, but the subject name itself already had an ominous feel to it.
“Ban Yu-won, are you by any chance?”
“There was no evidence left. The footage from Room 4 was cut off at the moment when the elite monsters were defeated?”
“Then that woman.”
“That’s not it either. The Academy found out. Professor Yumina said that since the president is the representative of the tower, he knows about almost everything that happens there… … .”
“I feel sick.”
“I know.”
But if you found out without anyone telling you, then there’s nothing you can do about it.
Ban Yu-won and his group sat shoulder to shoulder and looked over the outline of the lecture that Yumi had sent them… the syllabus.
“A code of conduct to better attract the patronage of a constellation, a mindset to enter into contracts with a constellation more cleverly, useful knowledge and supplies to avoid the wrath of a constellation, and even a method to change constellations without a hitch.”

“Am I the only one who reads this as a methodology for becoming a good con artist?”
Dokgoyeon nodded quickly at Ban Yuwon’s casual remark.
“What a coincidence, I do that too.”
“In some ways, it seems like a good way to seduce the opposite s*x. Even the clever transfer method at the end was perfect… … .”
“What is this?”
While looking over the syllabus, Ruchel looked at one section.
A hologram with bold letters glowing in the dark, indicating that this is a fairly important part of the subject.
“Mock Constellation War… …?”
“Are students going to start a fight with each other? Especially if the other person is a senior in the 4th grade or higher… … Class, do we really have to attend this lecture?”
“It seems there is no veto.”
Isn’t this a place where people like to manipulate people as they please?
Ban Yu-won had been giving up since the syllabus came flying in.
“The lecture is on Tuesday afternoon.”
“Tomorrow? Come to think of it, tomorrow is… … .”
“that’s right.”
Light looks at Ban Yoo-won with a strange look in his eyes.
Ban Yoo-won shrugged his shoulders as he drank the carbonated water provided in the student cafeteria.
Since it was naturally sweetened, this carbonated water was now drinkable.
“The day I decided to have a go at that big, ignorant brat.”
“That’s good… … Ahem. Then I guess we’ll have one-on-one lessons today. Light, you play with the beast.”
Dokgo Yeon smiled brightly.
Is it because of my mood? I was staring at him intently.
Ban Yu-won had originally planned to increase the depth of his concepts by clearing a few dungeons after school, but he gave up on everything after seeing her smile.
I had a feeling that my second week at the Academy wouldn’t be all that peaceful.
* * *
As another day passed and Tuesday arrived, Ban Yu-won had no choice but to admit that he had become the undisputed star within the Academy.
The video channel opened on the intranet has reached a point where it seems that every academy student with a mirror has subscribed to it.
The external channel, which had surpassed 1 million subscribers just three days ago on Saturday, was now over 2 million and heading towards 3 million.
“Those things.”
“I saw it too. Is that really the 4-room?”
“It must be manipulation. How did they do that?”
“That common human without regenerative abilities? He’s a lowly creature. Why do you let that kind of thing run wild?”
Its fame could also be confirmed in the gym where the practical class, ‘Practical Combat Comprehensive’, was held.
A barrage of prejudice, criticism, and insults from the students in Class 1, Grade 1, who make up the special class!
Ban Yu-won closed his eyes and listened intently to savor the fame.
“There is a saying in our world that every time you get cursed at, your lifespan increases.”
“You will live forever.”
Dokgo Yeon was muttering next to me.
But Light looked around with his eyes wide open, gritting his teeth as if he didn’t like it.
“You’re just standing around talking cowardly and being shallow. Don’t ever give in to people like that.”
“Ban, Hwa, Fighting.”
Ruchel also cheered him on, gently pulling on his sleeve.
Still, I smiled proudly, thinking that I had become quite close with these two, but Dokgo Yeon next to me struck me again.
“You two went out together once over the weekend and you seem to be a great match. Did you like the clothes that Ban Yu-won gave you as a gift?”
“……jealousy?”
“like.”
Ruchel has changed!
She has become a woman who knows how to make a deal while being smart!
“I guess getting beaten up on Sunday wasn’t enough.”
“Anyway, you’re going to keep hitting me.”
“Ruchel, don’t provoke too much. The three of us will have to split the cost anyway.”
Even yesterday, under the pretext of one-on-one instruction ahead of the sparring match, only Ban Yu-won was beaten up.
No matter how much I thought about it, I got beaten up so unreasonably, but now that I think about it, I think it was because I was angry that I went out to play with Ruchel on Saturday.
I thought I had clearly explained that it was a date to solve Ruchel’s problem, but Ban Yu-won didn’t know why it had to be done that way, but he decided to consider it a good idea since his concept had grown as much as it had been done.
That was when.
“Okay, then let’s start class.”
“… … ?”
Someone who appeared to be a professor gathered the students from classes 1 and 11 together.
But it wasn’t Associate Professor Farrell who taught the class last week.
“Oh, I’ve been assigned to this class. I’m an associate professor, and my name is Entel.”
“What about Associate Professor Farrell?”
“It got cut off. You all can guess why.”
The students’ gazes all turned to Ban Yu-won.
Ban Yoo-won simply shrugged his shoulders like a Western politician who is asked a difficult question by a reporter.
“Then I would like to get right into class, but before that… … I heard that we are having a formal training session today. Is that true?”
“you’re right.”
Erecto took a step forward and spoke in a strong tone.
It was a bonus to look back at Ban Yu-won and glare at him.
Ban Yu-won also stepped forward without hesitation.
Professor Entel, who had only nodded at Erecto, widened his eyes slightly when he saw Ban Yu-won.
“Oh, you’re a student from Ban Yu-won, right? I’m watching your videos. You’re so talented.”
“thank you.”
“Ha, that kind of manipulated video… … .”
“Oh, Erecto student. You shouldn’t suspect your classmates based on circumstantial evidence alone. If you make another mistake, you’ll get a negative score.”
“… … .”
Fortunately, Associate Professor Entel had a positive impression of Ban Yu-won.
I don’t know if it’s Yumina’s work or the result of Ban Yu-won’s video, but I think this will help avoid biased judgment.
“I heard that this duel will be broadcast live on the school’s official channel. Do you both agree?”
“Manipulation and such in a live broadcast… … I agree.”
“I agree.”
As soon as the two nodded, a drone rose into the air.
In an instant, a virtual ring was formed, and the same cautions were given as when Dokgoyeon and Ortima fought before.
The duel ends only when the opponent becomes incapacitated or surrenders.
Openly targeting vital points is prohibited, but any injuries sustained during sparring are your own responsibility.
‘The conditions are really harsh.’
They say they don’t like it when Academy students fight each other to the death, but it seems they have no intention of stopping them from fighting to the point of becoming half-crippled.
Ban Yu-won entered the ring, holding the beheader’s longsword.
As we were standing facing each other, Erecto suddenly spoke to us.
“Are you scared?”
“what?”
What? Surely you don’t want to hear an answer like ‘I’m so excited… …! Just give me the orders!’
Ban Yu-won didn’t know what to say in response, so he stayed silent, and the guy continued talking.
“If you’re afraid, you can surrender. But… … .”
“Surely I shouldn’t be crawling between your legs and barking?”
Erecto closed his mouth.
Instead, a white vapor rose from the bastard’s entire body.
It seemed to be correct.
“Surely not? You’re not a psychopath who would actually utter lines that would only appear in third-rate novels, are you…?”
“Ha! I wonder how long you can keep talking like that.”
“Aren’t you the one who started talking first? Do you have amnesia?”
Erecto raised his fist.
The fist, covered in thick calluses that looked like a pile of rocks, seemed to grow larger in an instant.
Strangely enough, concepts like earth and rock seemed to be gathering in that fist.
A black color begins to swirl around the steam gushing from the tip of the fist.
It really did not look like a joke, it really did look like a race of rock giants.
“Professor Entel, please start quickly!”
Erecto shouted in a threatening tone.
He looked very angry, perhaps because the lines he had thought so hard about were stolen in the worst way.
Professor Entel declared, looking at him with a hint of pity.
“Start sparring!”
“Get out!”
bang-!
It wasn’t the sound of a bomb exploding, it was just the sound of Irekto kicking the ground.
An extremely simple and ignorant attack where you throw your body, the size of a house, and at the same time slam your fist down towards the enemy!
However, the pressure that comes from charging forward with all of your weight on your body, and the punch that uses all of that power, are attacks that can only be done by taking advantage of Erecto’s strengths.
“Phew.”
In response to that fist, Ban Yu-won silently raised the beheader’s longsword.
and…….
The sword deflected the fist brilliantly and struck Irekto in the cheek.
-bang!
Erecto crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
Ban Yu-won, who leisurely escaped to the side with his sword in hand, kicked the fallen Irekto’s buttocks with his foot and put some distance between himself and him.
[You successfully counterattack by taking full advantage of your opponent’s strength. The depth of your counterattack has become 21.]
The message that came to mind was incredibly satisfying.
It was worth all the effort I put in yesterday to fend off Dokgo Yeon’s terrifying attacks.
‘There are several ways you can choose to defeat that ignorant lump, but the easiest one is probably to use the counter-tactics you learned at the top.’
As Dokgo Yeonin had been watching Ban Yoo-won grow up close, her advice was extremely accurate.
‘But when I look back, I see that you waste a lot of time trying to figure out your opponent before using the technique. That’s only half the battle. You have to be able to use your tricks against an opponent or technique you encounter for the first time to be able to say that you have completely mastered the technique.’
Moreover, he even brought back to zero the unnecessary pride of Ban Yu-won, who had become arrogant and proud by saying words that were right in every detail.
‘So, let’s start the special training from now on. I will attack with this wooden sword at different speeds, different shapes, and different intentions each time. If you can counterattack even once, that ignorant lump of a bastard will not be able to touch you.’
And then he even gave me one-on-one lessons to practice the anti-formation!
… … Maybe I just wanted to hit him as much as possible.
However, the effect is certain, and with just yesterday’s training, Ban Yu-won’s anti-(想) grew to 20.
It was so hard to deflect her power that it was laughable that Yu grew much more than that.
‘Well, since Ban and Yoo have a close relationship, it’s natural that they grow together.’
Ban Yu-won, who had come out of his reverie, raised his sword and aimed it forward, glaring.
Erecto, who had now stood up straight, looked back at him, his body trembling.
“Yes, you are the one who… …!”
“I’m sorry, but can we just cut the crap out of it and get to work?”
“Kuaaaaaaah!”
It’s stupid.
If you’ve been hit at least once, shouldn’t you consider trying a different method?
However, the opponent was charging at me with the same posture, the same fist raised.
‘No… … Isn’t it?’
He was seen quietly pushing strength into his left fist while focusing his gaze on his raised right fist.
It was a change that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
However, in his reading, he could see the red-tinted concept of ‘monstrous strength’ concentrated in the bastard’s left fist.
‘It was originally hard for me to read the changes in the internal concept when facing an enemy whose level was different from mine. Was it because I tried to peek while dating Ruchel? Or was it because I had special training with Dokgo Yeon yesterday?’
Anything is fine.
For now, I’m just happy with the development of my abilities.
“Die!”
“after.”
Ban Yu-won raised his sword diagonally and pretended to deflect the bastard’s right fist, but at the moment of impact, he deflected it diagonally. (流)
Erecto, where the body’s balance is naturally disrupted due to a lack of strength.
In that brief moment when the point of impact of the bastard’s left fist shook, Ban Yu-won’s sword slammed down on it (貫), sending the bastard’s power wildly in the opposite direction (反)!
“Kuaaaah!”
Erecto let out a scream that was tearing apart.
That would be the case.
[The vibrations contained in the sword have been used to excellently disperse the opponent’s power. The depth of the wave has become 23.]
In fact, the stabbing that Ban Yu-won just now contained the power of waves.
The waves created by Ban Yu-won’s sword not only increased the power of the counterattack, but were also particularly effective in scattering the power contained in the bastard’s fist.
“Lord, I’ll kill you… … !”
“Stop! I declare the duel over! Irekto student, you are out of combat!”
Entel, who saw that Erekto’s left fist had been pierced by the sword and torn to pieces, declared the end of the duel in confusion, but the angry giant did not hear his words.
“Dieee …
“Erecto student, that’s expulsion! Ban-Yu-Won student, avoid it!”
The inside of the gym was covered in smoke from the steam he emitted from his entire body.
Surprisingly, the concepts of volcano and monstrous strength were condensed into the bastard’s healthy right hand!
But Ban Yu-won didn’t even think about backing down when he saw it.
That would be the case, because the wooden sword Dokgoyeon had swung at him with yesterday was much heavier, bigger, hotter, and scarier.
‘Dokgoyeon was right.’
When dealing with the ignorant and the powerful, the opposite is best.
That’s the easiest and simplest.
Ban Yu-won took up his sword.
A wave filled with magical power flowed along the sword, and the slashing power contained in the sword responded by burning into gold.
The blood poison that was activated by sucking the blood of the half-human was strengthened once again.
The minimum conditions for confronting the ferocious giant were thus met.
Look at the other person with your eyes.
There is no need to look into such trivial concepts.
There are two important things.
Where is he aiming to attack?
Where is his power concentrated?
‘I figured it out.’
He stretched out his sword.
The power of the wave contained in the sword was shot out one step ahead, slightly distorting the trajectory of the giant’s fist.
Created a gap.
A sword that rose as if digging into the gap.
As easy as picking a persimmon off the end of a tree.
-Crunch
I cut off the bastard’s right arm, starting from the forearm.
“Kkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The giant rolled on the ground with a terrible scream.
But Ban Yu-won didn’t have time to pay attention to the guy.
[Would you like to steal life, flesh, giants, volcanoes, and monstrous strength from Erecto’s arm?]
Because I discovered something much more interesting.
