Admission is a waste of time (321)
Lesson 63. Year 2 – 1
Now it seemed that he understood why the Melodia family had been so hostile to him.
Ban Yu-won thought that there was no need to bring up the ancestors’ fight to later generations, but if Ayre was not a dragon but a true dragon, the story would be very different.
Ban Yu-won guessed that the fight between Jinryong and Seonjo would probably end in a two-way battle.
In other words, there is a very high possibility that our ancestors were the ones who drove the True Dragon to extinction.
And Aire is the last true dragon of this era who directly inherited that true dragon.
He already felt a headache thinking about what Aire would think of Ban Yu-won after learning the truth.
“Not Yong-in… … Jin-ryong? How?”
“After a fierce battle with the master of the tower, the true dragons sensed their annihilation. Some crawled beneath him, some divided their power into many fragments and created a new race called the dragons, and some used cunning tricks to survive for themselves.”
Ban Yu-won seemed to know who his last words were referring to.
A person who betrayed the dragon despite being a true dragon, a person who kept his soul in a necklace under the pretext of destroying the dragon and persistently tormented his descendants, and who eventually tried to take over the body…
“Wait, maybe not Asya too?”
“She is no ordinary dragon. She has inherited the blood of the true dragon, made a contract with a weapon made of his blood, flesh, and bones, and eventually swallowed the true dragon’s soul. She may become a new form of the true dragon.”
But what’s important now isn’t her, said the Melodia head, turning back.
“When Lady Ayre was first born, those who gave birth to her completely sealed her away and kept her hidden away from the eyes of the Tower’s master. Once it was safe, they made arrangements for her to awaken and grow, and they selected excellent vassals to support her in caring for her.”
“… … is gone.”
“The revival of the Melodia family was completely planned by the True Dragon. Although it was a blindfolded bluff, the Melodia family was able to survive and prosper after the last battle, as the master of the tower also disappeared. … … And then Lady Aire woke up.”
It was a very heartbreaking experience.
There’s no way that the two dragons I knew were both true dragons. Even jokes have their limits.
Ban Yu-won asked with a sigh.
“But you know, I have no intention of antagonizing Aire just because she’s a true dragon and not a dragon. There’s no reason to―― Above all, do you know about our current relationship?”
“Fate is called fate because it cannot be resisted.”
“The fate of the True Dragon has already been sealed. Even Aire doesn’t reveal that she is the True Dragon.”
“Can you guarantee that when he realizes his destiny, he will not become an enemy of you?”
This guy is more annoying than I thought.
“I haven’t even inherited the Tower of Babel yet. And what happened to us recently―― Do you think I have to explain it to you in detail to satisfy you?”
“What I want is the same as before. I swear it.”
Ban Yu-won recalled the time when the former Melodia head visited Camelot with Ayre.
Even then, didn’t Gaju back down only after Ban Yu-won promised with Requiem that he would not harm Aire?
I thought people were sensitive, but when I thought about him being a vassal who served the True Dragon and was just being faithful to his duties, I couldn’t help but understand.
“You said before that you would not harm Aire because she was a dragon. However, that premise is wrong. She is not a dragon, but a true dragon. So your oath was in vain. Prove your heart with a stronger and more sincere oath.”
It was a very tiring and rude request.
Of course, Ban Yu-won had no intention of harming Ayre, but it was something that should not have been done under duress from others.
Especially, wouldn’t it be rude to her if such an exchange took place without the knowledge of Aire herself?
-bang!
It seemed like it was an embarrassing thing to do.
“house owner.”
Aire came in as if she was going to smash open the office door.
I don’t know where I heard it, but her eyes were unusual.
On the other hand, Gaju bowed his head to her with an indifferent expression.
“Aire-sama. … … Your magic has grown again. Congratulations.”
“I’ll take Yuwon with you.”
“But his oath is still… … I understand.”
The head of the household, who had succumbed to Aire’s intense gaze, glared at Ban Yu-won without her knowing as if this was not the end, but when Aire noticed even that and her eyes sparkled as if she was going to fire a True Dragon Death Beam, he averted his gaze with a sting.
“You don’t need to listen to that man, Yuwon.”
“But I am still the head of the teenage family and your protector.”
“Yuwon, listen to me.”
As she dragged him out, Aire grabbed his hand with force.
“You are my equal. But you are not that human.”
“I appreciate you saying that, but… … .”
“I’m not taking my words lightly. Trust me.”
Aire clasped her hands together as she declared once more.
At some point, his attitude changed significantly.
I wonder if the blood of the True Dragon is awakening, she said as she clung closer to him.
“How many days can you stay? There are some famous spots I’d like to show you around.”
“hmm.”
Originally, I was planning to just take care of business and leave right away.
Especially now that I’ve heard such unexpected news from my family, I feel like I want to focus on what I have to do rather than just chatter and have fun…
As he faced Aire, who was looking up at him with wide eyes, he felt like he was in trouble if he said that he had already finished his work and that he would go back now.
“… … Three days. Will three days be okay?”
“policy……!”
Aire noticed that he was being considerate of her and smiled brightly as she clung to him.
My affection for this guy and that guy is too heavy.
There really isn’t any room left to accept it――.
However, while Ban Yu-won was thinking that, he despised himself for having the momentary thought, ‘If she really was a true dragon, shouldn’t he seduce her himself and make her his ally?’
“policy?”
“Yeah, Aire.”

“I’m okay.”
Ban Yu-won looked at her with a creepy look, wondering if she had read his fleeting thoughts, even though she didn’t possess the same power as him.
“what?”
“entire.”
At least, Aire smiled, sending straight feelings that clearly transcended the realm of friendship.
She pulled him by the arm and led him out.
Misty and Leshu, who had suddenly joined them on a short trip to Melodia, were waiting for them and greeted them with wide eyes, but Aire, who had arrived at her hometown and was receiving a hometown buff, showed off her affection for Ban Yu-won by emphasizing her arms.
“let’s go.”
“You, you, you… … !”
“Ah… … I had a beautiful dream for a moment… … .”
The three days passed quickly.
It was more fun than I thought, and although it may sound funny, it was also useful.
Among the S-class dimensions, Melodia, which had developed under the touch of the True Dragon, had various language concepts that even Ban Yu-won had never encountered before, and in particular, Ban Yu-won’s already enhanced spatial control ability was further enhanced by properly encountering Melodia’s unique spatial movement magic.
[You have gained a deep understanding of space, and the depth of the Origin Sword has become 1,500.]
The depth of the Origin Sword, which had reached 1,400 by competing with the constellations and then Zenon, suddenly jumped by 100 to 1,500.
If we were to change it into a systemic term, it would be level 150, which would be the equivalent of a true transcendent being.
… … And it was also a level that was guessed to have been reached by Dokgo Yeon in the past.
“Are you leaving already?”
“See you at Union when semester starts.”
Aire held onto his sleeve as if she didn’t want to let him go, but Ban Yu-won had already spent so much time on her that he couldn’t give in any more.
Misty, who had been with them until now, was waving at him from behind, telling him to go quickly.
If she gets caught like that by Aire, she’ll be hated again, but is it because she doesn’t have any thoughts or is jealousy making her brain pure…?
“You have to be safe.”
“I’m not going to die.”
“But I’m going to get scolded.”
“Ah――I heard it from Asha.”
Aire, who had finally separated from him, took another step closer and hugged him.
As he was about to step back, saying it was okay, Aire, who had been restraining his arms, stuck out her lips and kissed his.
It was a force that no one dared resist.
“Okay, now it’s a tie with Asha.”
“Aire, you.”
“Sorry, I’m a dragon.”
Ignoring Misty and Leshu, whose mouths were wide open, Aire whispered into Ban Yu-won’s ear.
“I can’t wait around. I have to do it my way. I’m sure that you’re the only one qualified to be my partner.”
“I’m sorry, Aire, but right now I… … .”
“I know. It’s okay.”
Aire smiled faintly and let him go.
“I’ll approach you regardless. Just don’t avoid me.”
* * *
-He sent me the coordinates himself. But… … Are you sure that’s okay?
“of course.”
Ban Yu-won, who had left Melodia on a spaceship that had been released and entered the dimensional wall, was communicating with Yumina.
“I have to go and find it myself.”
―… … Yes. Sister, Yuwon is really like that… … .
Yumina, who was mumbling without being able to say anything, smiled awkwardly and said it was nothing, then sent the coordinates of the private dimension.
“Then I’ll see you when semester starts, sis.”
―You can come before then. If the dorm is closed, you can stay in your sister’s room… … .
“Now is the time to work hard.”
When Yumina’s bold and shameless proposal was secretly rejected, she puffed out her cheeks and grumbled.
-How long? If you keep being so tense, you’ll get tired.
“It’s okay, I’m not tired. At least until I meet Yeon.”
―… … Being chosen by the Tower doesn’t mean you immediately become a constellation. It’s simply a mortal being forcibly raised to the level of transcendence, so it will take a lot of time to adapt and receive the countless knowledge and powers from the Tower.
“But Yeon will be different.”
―… … I’m jealous.
He tried hard not to react to the grumbling directed at anyone other than the obvious anti-Yu-Won.
As the release was finally finding its coordinates, it began to race across the dimensional wall in earnest, making communications unstable.
“Then have a nice vacation, sister.”
-Yeah, Yuwon too. You have to be safe.
“I told you, I’m not going there to die.”
He ended the call with a bitter smile.
Hoo, he lifted his head with a deep sigh and saw the naked pervert he was now quite familiar with.
For a moment, it seemed as if he had opened his eyes and was looking at the half-circle inside the spaceship, but in reality, that was not the case.
That naked man might be from the distant past or future.
[We’ve arrived, Master. I guess we’re closer to the S-class dimension than we thought?]
At that moment, Lilith broke through the dimensional wall and reported.
Ban Yu-won nodded, feeling that his thoughts were correct.
“It must be the origin of all martial arts dimensions. Naturally, there must be a high density of mana flowing close to an S-class dimension. Especially when you think about the power of the Heavenly Demon… … .”
Isn’t it the Heavenly Demon who was leisurely playing around with his clones while fighting against the Demon King of Diavolo Dimension, who boasted the greatest strength among the rulers of A-class dimensions?
In terms of strength alone, even the heads of the ten major clans would be no match for him.
Yes, that’s right.
This is the hometown of Cheonma.
At the same time, it was Dokgo Yeon’s hometown.
[Wow, this is… … .]
As she sliced through space, Lilith let out a strange exclamation.
All over space, and on planets that were getting closer and closer, there were blackened areas that looked as if they had been eaten by bugs.
It was a strange sight, as if someone had blocked the flow of a dimension that was on the verge of destruction.
To Ban Yu-won, it felt like a reprieve from death.
“Should I say it was as expected… … .”
-That’s right.
There was a voice that flew directly into his mind, not even through the spaceship’s communications network.
It was a sophisticated technique that could not be compared to the Jeon-eom that he had learned from Dokgo Yeon. Ban Yu-won knew very well who the owner of this voice was.
―The tower coveted this dimension and tried to swallow it up completely. But I resisted it, and in the end, this world survived at the cost of having 50% of it eaten away. But that can never last forever.
“… … .”
―We tried to protect the martial arts world by cutting off all connections with the outside world, but that was impossible from the start. My daughter wanted to find the answer outside of the world, and that’s how she met you.
He didn’t continue talking.
After sensing the atmosphere, the release quietly advanced and entered the planet’s atmosphere. From that moment on, a huge gravitational force that was acting on the entire spaceship quickly pulled them somewhere on the ground.
I couldn’t figure out how this was possible and I didn’t have the confidence that I would understand it if someone told me.
All I could do was look at the quickly passing scenery on the ground and feel a terrible sense of emotion.
[There are… many strong people. Well, to survive in this broken world, you wouldn’t be able to survive without being strong.]
“It’s really sad that they fight and compete with each other even in the midst of all that.”
How much further did they go? At the point where they reached a mountain range so high that it seemed to pierce the sky, the spaceship stopped dead in midair.
The release descended slowly.
Deep inside the mountains, he laid his body on a wide ground where magnificent pavilions were built.
The empty space where many people would have gathered to practice was now completely empty, with only one person waiting outside.
A beauty with long, straight hair as black as ebony and skin as pale and white as snow.
The leisurely fluttering ears and tail of a leopard prove that it is of beast origin.
It was a person that Dokgo Yeon had once mentioned.
“I’ve been waiting for you, Deputy Danju.”
As Ban Yu-won stepped out of the spaceship, she bowed deeply to greet him and said:
But wait, what did you just call me?
“The leader is waiting. Let’s go together.”
