Admission is a waste of time (327)
Lesson 64. Freshmen – 2
That afternoon, Heukseol, who had met with Ban Yu-won, who appeared as Ronika, at a cafe frequented by the student council for generations, smiled mischievously and joked.
“The news spread quickly that one person had cried, Danju.”
“It’s malicious manipulation of the press.”
I wondered how Heukseol, who wasn’t even a Union student, knew that, but Heukseol showed him a group chat screen that he had never been invited to.
There were women having a conversation, with a variety of saved nicknames, but with an uncanny ability to tell who they were referring to.
-Puppy: It’s Ortima again. Does that family really have some kind of grudge against their master? Are they trying to get revenge on behalf of my brother?
―Gwijaengi: What do you mean she was asking about the Union trip? Could it be that she’s after us too? She’s like a thieving cat!
―Puppy: There’s no way a special class student would join the Union Journey. … … Except for some incredibly strange species.
―Lizard: The new successor to Ortima? If he does something like that, he’s a huge fool.
―Fool: Ortima’s successor has changed? Is that a good thing…?
―Hornjaengi: Our new president Radar is really amazing. He picks out the prettiest girl among the freshmen like a ghost.
-Gwijeng: Shut up, Shati.
Just looking at it made him feel dizzy, so Ban Yu-won waved his hand and asked Heuk-seol to do something.
“First of all, please change all the people’s names to their proper names.”
“It’s okay. I don’t plan on showing my communicator except for the short story.”
Black Snow, who had the mirror in his arms, spoke with inexcusable words.
“The rebel mercenaries are said to be arriving soon. They said to meet me in the suburbs, but I don’t know the exact location yet.”
“I know. I have one set up in a nearby dungeon. And don’t call me a rebel.”
“… … Are you talking about the dungeon, the cave where monsters roam? You say you meet rebels inside it?”
“Dungeons can be the safest places for secret meetings if you take the right precautions. And don’t call me a rebel, I told you.”
Heukseol, who had been sitting up awkwardly, made a dumbfounded expression as he followed Ban Yoo-won up from his seat.
An employee who was leaning against the cafe counter and watching them converse was seen looking at Heukseol with an expression on his face that said, ‘Another one added.’
We had come too far to resolve the misunderstanding, so we finished our calculations in silence and teleported to a dungeon in the suburbs.
“Oh my.”
As soon as you enter the dungeon, warm air surrounds you, and appropriate lighting illuminates the interior, thanks to the environment being remodeled to be suitable for human habitation.
Heukseol clapped his hands in inappropriate admiration at the sight of the large table, the sofa in the lounge, and all kinds of furniture spread out.
“I once heard that in the cave, the flow of energy is so intense that it is impossible to bring in objects and leave them there. I guess that also depends on the person.”
“In the new religion, they use formations to control the flow of energy. It’s similar.”
“The sorcerers of the new religion can create a den of illusions out of nothing, but they cannot repair the den of illusions… … .”
Heukseol sighed and replied, then found a teapot and started making tea.
While Ban Yu-won was away, he gathered up all the dust that had settled in the hideout with the Origin Sword and annihilated it. After he leaned back on the sofa, at that exact moment, dozens of people rushed into the hideout.
“Okay, everyone, come in comfortably―― Ok.”
“Pebbles that make rude noises at people, come this way.”
As Ban Yu-won snapped his fingers, El Pasis, dressed in the official uniform of Level Force, rolled towards him… … a rock.
Ban Yu-won rolled this stone, which was surprisingly registered as the new leader of Level Force due to its unique ability that drastically increased the abilities of his comrades by nearly 30%, and checked the mercenary members.
The seniors who were part of the Union Journey and graduated from the Academy have all newly joined Level Force, including Dolmeng, and the only original members who remain are Aneri and Selden, who calls her “big sister” and follows her.
In fact, there was no reason for Aneri to remain in Level Force, but the buff effect from the newly equipped stones was so powerful, and since her purpose for the time being was to help Ban Yu-won anyway, she decided to stay.
The same goes for Selden, who set Aneri as his life goal.
Above all, he had already achieved half of his grand goal of destroying the existing prominence thanks to Ban Yu-won, so he had nothing else to do.
After exchanging greetings with Selden, Ban Yu-won opened his arms and accepted Aneri, who was coming into his arms, with a bitter smile.
“Aneri, it’s been a while.”
“Mr. Yuwon―― You really become more manly every time I see you!”
As Ban Yu-won was gently teasing Aneri, who had a habit of being as skinny as possible when she received him, she soon opened her eyes wide when she noticed Heuk-seol quietly riding in the car behind her.
“Seo, are you looking for a ninja to replace me? You’re saying I’m no longer needed!”
“Maybe it’s because we’re in the same industry, but he knows me so well. No, he’s not, but anyway, he’s someone who can help me with my work.”
“It’s black snow.”
Heukseol quietly greeted the members and placed teacups in front of each of them as they sat down.
It was funny to see him carrying dozens of teacups at once, even using his martial arts skills, as if he was showing off his abilities to Aneri.
“Ugh, I believed that these positions would never overlap… …! So this is the characteristic of the second part heroine being also the first part heroine, it’s humiliating!”
“Huh huh… … .”
In Ban Yu-won’s mind, Aneri and Heukseol had never been heroines, so he just had an indifferent expression on his face when he saw the two having a snowball fight.
“Captain, please report.”
“Huh? Oh, yeah!”
Dolmeng, who had realized the truth that there are many pretty women in the world, but only a very small number of men can capture their hearts, listened to the report he had hastily prepared after hearing the word ‘dressing up’ flying at him.
“As you can see, there are a total of seven new members who have arrived from outside this time. Three of them are from a dimension that has already been lost and are already working as mercenaries, and the remaining four were rescued from a dimension that was disappearing. We are planning to enter that dimension again anyway.”
“What are the coordinates?”
“here–.”
As soon as the talk started, everyone stopped chatting and focused on the conversation they were having.
Ban Yu-won hired graduates from the Union Travels group, starting with Dolmeng, who became like his personal subordinates.
1.1.1. The newly formed mercenary group Level Force centered around them was focusing on understanding the structure and phenomena related to the disappearance of dimensions, as well as recruiting new members.
The existing members had to follow Ban Yu-won’s will no matter what, and the new members followed him passionately as the annihilation of the dimension was also their job.
Although some people were skeptical about whether it was even possible to interfere with dimensional extinction, Ban Yu-won’s goal has not wavered since two years ago.
“Next is the Exodus Gun―― Aneri?”
“Yes, fortunately, we got something this time. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have a proper conversation about what restrictions were put in place for the entire Exodus.”
Aneri jumped up and handed the materials to Ban Yu-won.
It was a paper document that appeared to have been produced at least several decades ago, but fortunately it was in relatively good condition, perhaps because it had been preserved with a preservation spell.

The theme is directly connected to the ultimate goal of Exodus―the liberation of the constellations.
Ban Yu-won, who had quickly skimmed through the data, clicked his tongue quietly.
“… … There’s no core story. Maybe it’s because it’s just promotional material.”
“The constellations would have mixed false baits to lure people in to free themselves. For example, offering to share the power of the constellations unconditionally.”
“I can filter out the lies. Please continue to collect all information related to Exodus, no matter what it may be.”
“yes.”
In some ways, what Ban Yu-won was trying to do was closely related to Exodus.
Although they were defeated and collapsed, it is impossible for that huge group to have disappeared without leaving any trace.
While Aneri was concentrating on collecting them, Ban Yu-won would dig up useful information from all the records she had brought.
“Finally――Selden.”
“ok.”
Surprisingly, it was Selden who took on the last agenda.
No, if you think about it carefully, it wasn’t surprising.
It had to do with the unit he had newly accepted as a subordinate organization of Level Force two years ago――.
“Did you find any traces of the ‘True Dragon’?”
“I’ve been taking the kids to the upper levels to try and get them to do something, but I feel like I’ve missed the mark.”
Selden reports, scratching his head.
The kids he was talking about were the organization he used to be a part of, Crimson Spear.
Crimson Spear, like Exodus, was destroyed two years ago―― but after Prominence was taken care of, useful guys were rescued under Ban Yumi’s leadership, and Selden became their leader because he escaped early and joined this side.
The only minor issue was that the task of ‘salvaging the useful ones’ took so long that it was only a few months ago that the organization underwent a complete reorganization.
“There’s no way the Teenage Family wouldn’t know that we’ve noticed. Most of the others would have been raided long ago. I think it would be better to raid the lower-ranking dimensions like you did in the D-rank dimension before.”
“Hmm――That’s right. I guess I’ll have to try making a more precise explorer.”
Ban Yu-won nodded vaguely in agreement with Selden’s words.
In fact, he had already guessed that even if he explored the upper dimensions, he would not be able to find any traces of the True Dragon.
The real goal is to appeal to other teenage families.
Aren’t those who react greatly to the keyword ‘Jinryong’ the culprits?
It was possible because I had a firm confidence that if something went wrong and I ended up clashing head-on with the teenage family, it would be okay.
If he was at least on the same level as the Prominence family head I had faced two years ago, I was confident that I could overwhelm him one-on-one.
“I think this report is enough. Then let’s just buff it once and then have a meal.”
When Ban Yu-won let out a deep sigh and gestured to the stone, it approached him obediently, but grumbled.
“You swindler. Does that make sense, like you’re going to use my power to enhance your abilities?”
“If you keep going, you will grow to the point where you don’t need buffs anymore.”
As Ban Yu-won opened his hand, dozens of paper talismans filled with vitality popped out of his inventory and lined up in the air.
As the new members of the mercenary corps, who had yet to see his power properly exercised, stared at it with awe, the stone concentrated and unleashed its power.
“[Add more.]”
With Ban Yu-won’s short declaration, the power to strengthen allies from the stones naturally melted into dozens of talismans and merged.
As he gestured, the talismans each flew away to find their owners.
“Oh my god.”
Meanwhile, Heukseol let out an exclamation of admiration as he saw his share of the talisman gently settle on his palm.
“It seems like a very strong spell. Can it work on me?”
“I don’t think you know this yet, but I’m also good at witchcraft.”
“Yes, I understand. Danju is always unlucky.”
As the members, whose power had been greatly strengthened in an instant, were making a fuss, Ban Yu-won clapped his hands twice to focus their attention.
“Stick it tightly inside your clothes and never forget it. It’s annoying to have to update it every day. Then let’s have a unity meeting. Oh, and don’t give the bottle of alcohol to the stone.”
“Why not! Isn’t it too much to bring up a mistake from two and a half years ago?”
“Yes, yes, last time, Senior Kshanna told me that she was annoyed because she got caught doing work by Senior Dolmeng who was drunk――.”
“Wow, Captain… … .”
“It’s really not that good… … .”
“Ah, ahhh――! I asked you to keep it a secret――!”
The stone sacrificed itself and instantly lightened the mood.
Maybe it wasn’t his intention, but it was a good thing since it created a lively atmosphere.
The drinking party that Ban Yu-won and Heuk-seol had with the current 5th year members of Union Travel, as time passed, caused all the students except Ban Yu-won to be late the next day.
That’s how Ban Yu-won’s first semester of the fourth year began.
The previous semester’s record for breaking through the tower was 560 rooms, set by Team Rebellion.
The Union was just one room away from breaking the all-time record.
That’s what everyone thought.
