Admission is a waste of time (331)
Lesson 65. Creation – 1
Ban Yu-won entered the tower.
It was a solo expedition, but the sight of a large workshop that had become so familiar to him now greeted him.
“Whew, this feels like home now.”
Celon, who cannot humanize himself in front of others, naturally took on a human form as if he was breathing and leaned back on the sofa.
She had tied her hair, as black as the night sky, into twintails, and her eyes, which sparkled as if they were filled with the Milky Way, slowly blinked, enjoying the feeling of the sofa stretching out. She seemed to have become completely accustomed to the human body.
That would be the case, since during that time, Celon’s own seal had loosened considerably, and Eve and Banyuwon’s abilities, who helped form her body, had also grown significantly.
“Your house?”
Ban Yu-won checked the laboratory, or monster production room, then turned to her and snorted.
“Then how is that any different from the constellations? You should think about freely wandering outside the tower with your real body.”
“There are too many things to worry about. You may not know, but most constellations still grind their teeth at the sight of me.”
“They’re such idiots. Now I’m starting to find that cute.”
Inside and outside the tower, the constellations’ attempts to harm Banyuwon continued without end.
However, since even the followers who had raided the main body met their deaths, the clumsy attack was only a good way to increase Ban Yu-won’s power.
No, rather, most of the life experience I’ve gained outside the tower over the past two years has come from those constellations.
The bastards must have had a sense of humor, so they didn’t risk everything to attack him――Ban Yu-won grew in size smoothly and reached here.
Sometimes, he wonders if he is still growing as the president had planned, but he shakes off his doubts by firmly believing in himself.
“When are you going next?”
“Selone spoke, holding the teacup and saucer in his hands with graceful fingers and stretching his legs in the air.
“Everything that is required here has already been done.”
“yes…….”
Although the workshop itself has not changed, its contents have been constantly changing.
Ban Yu-won has experienced shifts dozens of times while sculpting countless monsters that appear on the tower.
It was a good textbook and a great teacher.
Now, Ban Yu-won was ready to create something on his own, even if it wasn’t for this space, even if there was no virtual space that Zeno had once created.
Of course, you will need suitable materials for that.
“Are you hesitating?”
“I’m starting to think that Monster Factory is about to end.”
“Are you afraid of change?”
“Would you understand if I said I was afraid that nothing would change?”
“hmm…….”
Celon smiled bitterly and emptied his tea in one gulp.
He put the glass on its saucer, put it aside, and tapped his knee.
“I know I may be lacking compared to that child, but if it’s good for the country, I’ll comfort you.”
“It’s okay. These days, wherever I go, there are only people who want to hug me and comfort me.”
“That’s just them trying to seduce you under the pretense of comfort.”
That’s true.
I had just run away from Asha, who had been clinging to me and trying to comfort me.
He’s changed so much in two years.
Maybe the problem was that I had Ruchel as my tutor… … .
“Then you are pure?”
“No? I think that kid has reached a stable stage now, so I think it’s time for me to enjoy myself too.”
Ban Yu-won snickered at Celon’s overly honest words and snapped his fingers.
A drastic change occurred simultaneously in dozens of monster production rooms connected to this workshop.
Top spider elites that live over a thousand lives, ogre mutants, a group of acid slimes that are stronger when bound together in groups and even have the ability to combine, horror house series monsters that trap their opponents in frames and torment them with illusionary magic… … .
In addition, many monsters filled the maternity ward, popping out like corn kernels turning into popcorn.
Of course, the shift conditions were clear.
“Hey, I’m a little hurt right now.”
Celon pouted as he sat up abruptly, feeling the shift taking place.
Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“Let’s talk about that after I get your body back completely. It’s not yet time.”
“Illa? You are a bad boy. The worst thing is to realize that you are flirting with a woman and then push her away!”
“No, I was just getting the strength to move forward from your comfort.”
“Then you should have come to me too!”
The shift ended the moment Celon puffed out his cheeks and spread his arms wide towards the half-circle.
They were now in a very high-ceilinged room, so high that even if they craned their heads they could not see the end of the wall――where gears were embedded and turning.
-You are finally here, my dear child.
It was the voice of the observer of Manan that I had heard over and over again for two years.
Celon desperately tried to return to his staff form, but it didn’t work out.
Ban Yu-won was thinking of just putting Celon back in his inventory, but fortunately Celon was only fixed in shape and not particularly restrained.
That means, in this space.
“Yeah, you’re finally here.”
I had a premonition about this.
That may be why I hesitated even more.
While I was looking forward to returning to Union this semester, I was also trembling with a vague sense of fear… … .
Ban Yu-won’s eyes were now turned to the stone tablet wrapped in a blue barrier, beneath the gearwheels that filled one wall.
―Not long ago, someone surprisingly invaded here. The tower was strongly defended against it and measures were taken to ensure that something like this would never happen again.

“Hmm.”
Ban Yu-won half-ignored the words of the observer in Man-an, grabbed the frozen Celon, and walked towards the stone monument.
As the observer of Manan said, the stone tablet was surrounded by a barrier that could not be damaged by even the most powerful force, so although it was impossible to touch the stone tablet directly, the letters densely engraved within it could be read.
-Have you ever thought about how you ended up here?
“well.”
Ban Yu-won responded insincerely, reading the words absentmindedly.
The observer of Manan smiled softly and continued speaking.
―The tower wants a new manager. A manager who will faithfully manage the tower and supervise the constellations in place of that unpleasant human.
She was already talking about the conclusions that Ban Yu-won and Selon had reached more than two years ago.
What’s a little different is that she’s talking about the current administrator… the president, in other words, with the premise that he’ll bring them down.
Ban Yu-won was so shocked that he brought out something he had been keeping hidden, intending to hit her where it hurt.
“You are the president’s contract constellation.”
-Me? That human? Oh, no way! You are so wrong.
The observer in the vast expanse burst into laughter.
It was extremely disgusting to see the pupils opening and closing like flowers blooming everywhere.
Yes, this is a space where the constellations can manifest their power even without descending as clones.
The reason why the other constellations don’t appear is probably… …because she is suppressing them.
―I admit that we have some unpleasant things in common. But that’s only because we share the same roots. Our goals are completely different. Yes, completely…
“You want to make me a constellation.”
-Surprisingly, not now.
“Not yet, I guess.”
-Child, there is something you must do. I wish that too.
In that he had absolutely no idea what was being said, the observer of Manan had many similarities with the president.
It would have been nice if Ban Yu-won had enough strength to defeat both of them, but unfortunately, two years of training was not enough to get there.
“If you don’t want to risk your life fighting, then leave now.”
―Haha, right. That’s right… … .
Ban Yu-won, who had waved his hand to chase away the observers in the distance, eventually found one of the things he had been looking for.
It was the name of the starlight performer.
It was disappointing that I had found it so easily, but upon looking again, I saw that the letters on this stele were not ones that anyone could read.
Moreover, the name of the star performer was intricately intertwined with dozens of names, as if the surrounding letters were trying to cover it up, and it was even half-damaged.
It felt unpleasant, as if I was watching a gloomy scene of bullying.
“Stella.”
“Huh? … … Huh?”
No, if only I had come up with a name that was this easy to identify a long time ago.
While Ban Yu-won was dumbfounded, Selon… … no, Stella opened her eyes wide in surprise when she heard her real name.
“No, wait a minute… … Ah. Right, that’s right! This can’t be… … !”
Maybe she had even forgotten what it meant to enter this space.
The moment her name was called, her body slowly began to rise into the air and glow.
At the same time, Ban Yu-won saw her name engraved on the tombstone wriggling as if stretching, pushing away the other names that had invaded her territory.
She had lost her power as a constellation and was sealed away due to the other constellations, perhaps the administrators who assisted her, but she had finally regained all of her power.
Ban Yu-won looked worried as he watched her land on the ground, looking more energetic than ever.
“Stella, are you okay?”
“Yeah――Yeah. It feels strange, but yeah. I think it’s okay. Everything is perfect.”
Of course, Stella’s true body was still trapped in the tombstone, and only a part of her was outside.
As she was in the process of regaining her full self, her power as a constellation, which had been sealed in a tombstone, was restored, and naturally, the physical body connected to it was also given power.
In other words, she was now in the state of a clone that had been created by investing so much power that other constellations would not dare to imitate it.
―The Starlight Player expresses his gratitude to you.
-Look, now I can contact you as a constellation!
“It’s amazing, what do you think?”
“Stop it, I’m losing my mind.”
Ban Yu-won became serious as he watched Stella begin to express her thoughts in three ways: through messages expressing her emotions, messages conveying her own voice, and even vocalization.
Having fully regained the power of the constellation in a short period of time, her transformed human body naturally became more vibrant. Whereas before she had merely been an extremely well-made doll, she was now a complete human being down to the core―no, one could say a half-transcended human being.
“I see, you said that earlier because you expected this to happen.”
“Huh? What?”
“We agreed to talk again once I fully recovered, right?”
“……uh?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, I just said that because I could get it back right away!”
“No, that’s it.”
What Ban Yu-won was trying to say was that they should talk after completely freeing her body… that is, her body that was tied up in the tower under the name of Constellation.
It seemed like his confidence was skyrocketing thanks to having regained all of his powers.
Stella said, looking at him with her eyes that were full of starlight, just like her name.
“Okay, let’s talk again. I’m telling you, I’m already mentally prepared――.”
“Just a minute, Stella.”
“what.”
It’s clear that she felt like a mature older sister until recently, but now that she’s regained all her memories and powers, she’s back to feeling like a teenage girl again.
From Ban Yoo-won’s perspective, who has received a lot of help from her in various ways, it is difficult to just push her away, but if you think about it, there were more than a few women who were deeply connected to him in this way.
There is nothing wrong with Heukseol’s words… … .
But still, not now.
“There’s someone you have to meet before me.”
“……ah.”
Stella blinked for a moment at those words, then nodded, saying, “Yes.”
“I guess it was because I thought I would never see you again. I completely forgot about Celon.”
Although Ban Yu-won was startled by the word Celon suddenly popping out from her, he naturally ended up understanding it.
When he first met her, the name of the staff she was sealed under was Celon’s Tears.
Seriously――I think I finally understand why Mina-noona was so surprised when she saw that.
“You didn’t want to meet in an imperfect state, did you? … … Now there is another way.”
“Right. Okay. I’ll go first. Heukseol? Can I stay with her?”
“Of course. I’ll explain the circumstances.”
Even if Stella goes out, she won’t go see Yumina right away in this condition.
If that was the case, it would have been possible before.
First of all, she wants to contact Yumina using the power of the constellation she has regained.
It would be possible for her now.
“Okay, I’ll go for now. Thank you, and please take care of me in the future.”
“Me too, Stella.”
-The depth of treason has reached 600.
The concept of rebellion, which had grown to 500 over the past two years, has grown by 100 in an instant.
Ban Yu-won felt that Stella’s figure had disappeared from the crowd, smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to the tombstone again.
The next name to be found was even easier than Stella’s.
Because I just needed to find the most recently added ones.
“――Eyes of Death.”
That moment of quiet humming.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
The gears that filled the wall accelerated simultaneously, making noise.
A black fog of death descends around him.
―The Eyes of Death begin to function as a formal constellation only after they respond to the one who finds them.
―The eyes of death look at you and smile slightly.
Dokgo Yeon came to see him.
