Admission is a waste of time (335)
Lesson 66. Irregular – 1
The group, who had been enjoying a leisurely meal in Room 560 just as Aire had wanted, arrived at Room 561 after shift change. Room 561 was a very large world.
In fact, exploring Rebellion has felt like this from the beginning, but as you go through Room 300, Room 400, and Room 500, the rooms have gradually expanded to become large enough that even without multiple shifts, it would take several days just to explore them.
It’s not that the seniors were frustrated because they couldn’t even get past 500 rooms, or usually 400 rooms, despite being given 5 years for no reason.
Of course, that became an unrelated issue as the coverage area of the Origin Sword of the Banyuwon was infinitely expanded.
“Room 561… … We are now at the forefront of tower exploration records.”
“We’ll reach the top anyway. The records of other losers mean nothing.”
“Aire, your words are too sharp.”
Asha stuck out her tongue at Aire’s words, who included Yumina among the losers despite knowing that she had been frustrated in Room 561.
If Asha has evolved over the past two years, becoming more rounded out and more charming, Aire has evolved in a different way.
In short, his obsession with Ban Yu-won and Team Rebellion grew stronger, and his tendency to ignore others grew stronger.
Even Yumina, who I originally respected, sometimes acts cold and dismissive, which is scary.
“I didn’t mean to disparage you, Professor. I just wanted to say that we… …are going higher.”
“okay.”
“Because there’s an amusement park.”
“Thank you for your support.”
Ban Yu-won answered briefly and pointed to the large trees growing nearby.
“But we might meet people related to the professor here.”
“Related to the professor… …?”
Only then did the group realize.
The trees that grew around were so huge, and even the flowers were no exception.
Jeddah, Ruchel’s home planet, was also a world with thickets of bushes and trees, but there, everything was the same size as before, except for the trees that stood tall.
This place was so huge that it made you wonder if they had become dwarfs, with the trees, the grass, and everything in nature being so huge.
“Surely not… …?”
“I think that’s right. I heard a little bit about the world I used to live in from Professor Yumina… … and I feel like I can find traces of similar concepts in everything in this world to what I found from Professor Yumina.”
There are two types of concepts in the top.
An electronic creation is a copy or modification of something that already exists.
The latter is the world that the tower has ‘absorbed’.
Ban Yu-won has learned how to distinguish between these two through countless creations in solo exploration, and what they are facing now is definitely――.
It was part of the ‘real’ world.
“Professor Yumina said that the world she lived in as a child was destroyed, and she was rescued by the president and brought to Union. The Temple of Spring in the outer city of Ronica is a place that was built and maintained by the people who were rescued with the professor at that time. The world she lived in was a dimension where the power of nature was particularly strong――.”
“Master, that… is the first time I’ve heard of it?”
Ruchel interrupted Ban Yu-won’s words for a rare moment and spoke with a trembling expression.
Seeing Asha and Aire shaking their heads with the same expression, Ban Yu-won realized that Yumina had committed ‘favoritism’ again.
“Well, anyway, that’s it. I’ll tell you guys later, so don’t be too upset… … .”
“I bet you heard it in bed.”
“Maybe he was just trying to lure me into bed.”
“Stop it, I was wrong!”
―The eyes of death lament that she has finally come upon the student she is teaching.
What I wanted to sigh about was Ban Yoo-won.
Anyway, these women are so quick-witted… … !
“Back to the topic, at this point, we should not let our guard down, as this is no different from doing special activities in a higher dimension, a higher dimension that is destined for destruction.”
“Is that a sign of doom?”
Aire raised her head and looked up at the sky, muttering.
A large black dot was seen growing in size in the sky.
The concepts contained within it were at a level that even Ban Yu-won, who had been growing constantly, could barely recognize. It was a complex intertwining of concepts such as ‘extinction’, ‘blocking’, ‘absorption’, ‘disconnection’, and ‘destruction’ that he had only recently acquired, and they had become one top-level concept.
“Indeed――Father was stopping that.”
―Death’s Eyes asks me to tell you more about that story later.
Ban Yu-won lightly floated his body up with the concept of floating, then used the Origin Sword to quickly get close to the black dot.
And then he bit the body in a hurry.
Because the moment he got closer to the point, he felt that all the elements that made up him were trying to separate from him, unable to overcome the strong attraction.
It was a fleeting but utterly horrifying experience.
Ban Yu-won had a gut feeling.
‘If I get caught with this, I’ll just die?’
Irregular.
The word flashed through my mind.
Yeah, come to think of it, today is a day when there are a lot of new students registering at the top, so naturally there are a lot of gaps in the top.
It was also the day with the highest intruder rates of the year, and also the day with the highest odds of irregularities occurring in the tower.
In retrospect, I had experienced many things in the tower, but this was the first time I had encountered a world that was being destroyed in real time, neither before it was destroyed nor after it was destroyed, leaving only remnants.
At first, I thought, “Is this the best weight?…” but then I started to think that maybe it wasn’t.
“Yuwon, why are you charging in when you can see something so obviously dangerous?!”
Aire, who realized the danger of the black dot and hurriedly flew up behind Ban Yu-won, shouted in fright.
Again, her obsession with the subject has grown remarkably over the past two years.
Ban Yu-won, who saw Ruchel and Asha flying after her, spoke to calm the group down.
“This might be the ability of the enemy I’ll ultimately have to deal with. Just wait, I’ll try to do something about this one.”
If we were to depict the process of this world’s destruction, this black dot wouldn’t be the end.
So, removing one dot wouldn’t change anything… … .

“Swoop, hoo.”
I’m confident that Requiem will be able to do it.
However, Requiem is a rechargeable weapon similar to Asha’s Dragon Spear, and thus will consume a lot of the energy contained within it, so it may not be a complete solution.
So this time――it was time to take out the (old) beheader’s longsword, Myeolyeom, which was forged together with Cheonma.
Extinction [Flame Sword 3,500, Severance 1,000, Death 1,000, Extinction 1,000, Extinction 500]
Myeolyeom is a divine being that contains the essence of Cheonma and Dokgoyeon’s martial arts, as well as some of Zenon’s power and Banyuwon’s authority.
Unlike when it was the sword of the beheader, the word resonance has fallen off, but that does not mean it does not resonate with Ban Yu-won.
The red flames embedded in the flames, the concept of extinction――Through this, the flames functioned as a natural part of Banyuwon.
“… … What a wonderful sword.”
“I made it in the martial arts world.”
Take a stance with your feet firmly planted on the empty space.
He straightened his slightly bent knees and swung his sword horizontally, and the flames shot out with a terrible frictional sound as if he had hit something huge and hard.
The concepts that make up the black dot are burning, and this can be seen even in Ban Yu-won’s eyes――.
Eventually, all the concepts he could not control ‘disappeared’, and the remaining concepts flowed into the sword and merged.
What remained was a ‘absorption’ of a weak depth, which was absorbed into the origin sword among the concepts in Ban Yu-won’s body, and its size increased.
This is the moment when new possibilities arise for the Origin Sword.
“There was no need to take it out until death.”
―He is pleased that the Eyes of Death was a great sword.
“I wanted to show off your power too… … Just wait a minute.”
Ban Yu-won, who was secretly pleased with her satisfaction, perhaps because the grading was somewhat generous since it had only been two years, turned around to see that it was not only Aire there.
“It’s you guys――! Those who harbor the evil intention of combining countless dimensions into one!”
“You guys can’t do as you wish! We will protect the garden of the four seasons!”
The aliens, who had risen from the ground on giant grass stalks and floated into the air at eye level with Banyuwon, were all glaring at him.
The team members were not the type to just let danger approach the half-human, but the aliens’ appearance was making them hesitate to attack.
To be honest, Yumina and her characteristics were very similar.
“It really was the professor’s world.”
“I thought he was a rare species, but there were so many of his kind in his world… … .”
“They seem a bit different from the priests of the Temple of Spring. Should I say they look older?”
“What?!”
While the Rebellion members were each saying something, one of the aliens with flowers on his head let out a loud scream at Asha’s words.
“How cruel and brutal it is to target newborn babies! I will never forgive you!”
“Huh? Not a newborn baby, but a temple of spring… … .”
“I don’t know how you know where that is――but we have to kill them right now! We have to kill them to protect the children!”
“Even if the world is destroyed, the children… …!”
“Tree!”
I don’t know what the problem was, but with one word from Asha, all the aliens went into killing mode and began to manifest their powers.
Asha cried and clung to Ban Yu-won, asking what she had done wrong, and only then did he realize.
“Could it be that the Temple of Spring was the name of a daycare center in this world?”
Spring, the season when buds bloom, symbolizing the beginning of life.
Moreover, the priests of the Temple of Spring are all of a similar age.
Old priests were very rare, and it would be plausible to assume that they were all kindergarten teachers.
In that case, maybe Mina noona too… … .
“Oh, if a horde of unruly people suddenly invaded the world and took the space where there were children, then that’s it.”
“It’s understandable that he would rush in with his eyes lit up like that――Ruchel nodded in agreement.
“Did I do something wrong?!”
“I didn’t know, so there’s nothing I can do. It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Ban Yu-won consoled Asha and then stretched out his hand to block the flying grass stems, pollen, tree branches, and rose vines toward the group.
As expected from the ‘NPC’ of Room 561, each and every one of their attacks were incredibly powerful, but unfortunately―― Ban Yu-won’s power has long since surpassed this level.
The reason the tower’s progress is slow is simply because it takes time to achieve the shift conditions.
To add a little more, it is because he waited instead of going ahead alone to help the group grow.
“What is this?!”
“They’re not constellations, they must be the seeds of the tower!”
When the aliens noticed the special nature of the barrier created by Ban Yu-won, they gritted their teeth and began to gather their strength.
Ban Yoo-won uttered the word, not knowing if it would work or not, but thinking that he would at least give it a try.
“Celone.”
“Death――Huh?”
It worked.
One of the aliens, whose flowers sprouted from above his head and were about to shoot out what looked like rays of destruction, reacted with his eyes wide open.
“What is that child’s nickname?”
“If it’s Celon… … the next priestess?”
“Yes, you are really beautiful and strong. But how can the world be like this… … .”
The moment the name Celon came out, the aliens’ fighting spirit strangely subsided.
Perhaps the name was a nickname that had a very deep meaning of affection, if Ban Yu-won only knew about it and got this kind of reaction.
“How do you know the name Celon?”
“If we talk about it, it’s complicated.”
Instead of saying, “In fact, you are beings created by lies and we will either wipe you out or find the shift conditions hidden in this room and get you out of here,” Ban Yu-won decided to choose a gentle lie.
“We come from the future. To save this world from destruction.”
“Oh, here we go again.”
“Asha, shut up.”
“The Queen is always like this.”
“Don’t call me queen!”
I had expected the party members to be noisy, so I blocked them out with a soundproof barrier in advance.
Now, what matters is how well his lies work.
Sruk, the female alien at the front of the group stepped forward and spoke, canceling the destruction beam that had been prepared.
“So that’s why you got rid of that black dot! Thank you for coming to save us!”
Ah, what a kind world it was.
Ban Yu-won felt the ruthlessness of the tower once again at the fact that this world had disappeared without being saved, and he smiled bitterly. He held back the bitter taste in his mouth and reached out to grab the hand of the female alien.
Regardless of his personal feelings, it seemed like this irregular room would be a great help to their group.
