Admission is a waste of time (4)
Lesson 1. This is your status window – 4
[Steal 1 Demon, 2 Life, 1 Flesh, and 3 Swordsmanship from the Goblin Warrior.]
The boss of the Blind Goblin Den, the Goblin Warrior, was a tree that gave generously.
Not only did he gain as much experience as ten goblins, he also gained three swordsmanship points, a skill that was previously unknown to Ban Yu-won!
Perhaps it was because Ban Yu-won had personally encountered the bastard and suffered greatly, experiencing the bastard’s abilities to the point where they could be put into words? He guessed so himself.
[Life 15
Flesh 12.5
Soul 300
Magic Power 11.25
Mandok-an (萬讀眼) 100
Mancheongi (萬聽耳) 100
Ten Thousand Words 100
Swordsmanship 3 – The ability to fight enemies with blades.]
Ban Yu-won immediately separated Devil 1 and gave 0.5 of his ears to the goblin bat (making it 5.2 of his ears), and accepted all the rest into himself.
It is only natural that the body becomes stronger again with the increase in life, flesh, and magical power.
The moment he absorbed the sword technique of the Third, Ban Yu-won realized that he could move more nimbly and cleverly.
Swordsmanship is not simply the skill of handling a blade, but the ability to use it to fight an enemy.
From this moment on, Ban Yu-won was able to anticipate the presence and movements of the enemy and respond accordingly.
‘What should I do about this?’
He looked down at the lump of iron rolling on the floor with a puzzled expression.
His eyes, which had become able to see through the concepts of language that objects possessed, saw that sharp, dull, and blunt objects were all mixed together in that lump of iron, creating disharmony.
Ban Yu-won, who had been thinking about it for a while, decided to take that with him as well.
I didn’t originally plan on doing that, but didn’t the Academy provide you with an inventory?
The inventory was exactly the same as the inventory window in the game, and it was possible to summon a subspace hole floating in the air and throw objects into it, and later summon that hole again from anywhere and take out the items inside.
The capacity was also considerable, so there was no problem putting in a single lump of iron.
“Then next.”
Ban Yu-won picked up the remaining loot that was rolling on the floor.
It was a small key, and I could tell what it was used for without even looking at it.
A small door visible at the back of this room, guarded by a blind goblin warrior.
The key was the thing to open it.
“oh.”
I opened the door and went in, and the inside was really small.
In the center was an altar made of stones, and on top of it was a simple red bead, which was probably the dungeon core.
The practical assessment ends with the destruction of the dungeon core.
Ban Yu-won tried to separate the core, but it was impossible.
The core was attached to the altar, and even if the altar could be destroyed, it did not seem like it could be taken by an individual.
“Then we have to break it.”
He ordered the goblin bat, which had been following him around continuously since the moment it was created, to break its core.
The moment it was swung without any hesitation and shattered the red bead, naturally, a golden string flowed out from within it.
[Steal 10 Magic Cores from the Dungeon Core. Magic Cores are a concept that humans cannot originally possess. You can temporarily store them within your body with the power of the Babylonian Code, but you will not be able to control this power. It is recommended that you separate them or grant them to other objects or creatures.]
As I had expected, the concept of the core was something that Ban Yu-won could not directly possess.
So I thought about splitting the devil and the nucleus… … .
‘If I remove this, it’s not like I’ll be able to complete a nuclear weapon, right?’
No, I don’t think so.
If you can make a nuke that easily, it wouldn’t be a nuke.
He split the magic core, laughing at himself for having such a stupid idea.
The 5th magic appeared, and when it was completely absorbed, Ban Yu-won’s magic power grew to 16.25.
There are 5 nuclei left… … .
Ban Yu-won was wondering what to do with it, so he took out a lump of iron that he had kept in his inventory and placed it there.
I never thought of it as a waste of time.
[An object that has multiple linguistic concepts gains the concept of a core, and functions as a ‘code core’, an object that contains linguistic concepts. It can stably store an amount of linguistic concepts proportional to the number of core concepts it has.]
At that moment, another very small miracle happened.
First, the lump of iron that had been crumpled up into a mess became more compressed and transformed into the shape of a smooth iron ball, and inside it, the various concepts that had been tangled up haphazardly were perfectly separated and arranged one by one!
A container has been completed that can hold concepts that are not of immediate use but cannot be directly absorbed by Ban Yu-won.
It’s not a dump.
It’s definitely not a waste of time, as it’s a collection of concepts that I’ll use someday!
‘Defining and changing things with language. It’s fun.’
They say that the time you enter and the time you come out of the bathroom are different, and right now, Ban Yu-won was exactly that kind of person.
At first, I was busy cursing and swearing at that bastard called Union Academy after being dropped into this unfamiliar environment, but now that I have actually passed the evaluation alive and realized the incredible abilities that were latent within me, all of this was packaged as something like ‘a difficult but good experience’.
Of course, I wanted to somehow find the culprit who put me in an environment where I could die and take revenge on them… … .
Well, actually, given their technological prowess, it was uncertain when they would be able to exact that revenge.
‘Well, if I could just get revenge and return to Earth right away, that would be best, but looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem like that’ll be possible. When I meet the person in charge, I’ll calmly ask them about the current situation. Then… … shall we move?’
Actually, I would like to prepare myself a little more here, but that is not possible.
The floor has been shaking slightly since the dungeon core was destroyed.
If you don’t get out right away, you might get buried in the ground along with the collapsing dungeon.
After calming himself down and looking at the goblin bat still floating around him and writhing, Ban Yu-won muttered softly.
“I’ll move.”

At that moment, everything brightened up.
When Ban Yu-won came to his senses, he was already in a cozy room, not a cave.
It was much bigger than the room in my original house, and had an attached bathroom and shower, as well as a separate bedroom.
Judging from the two beds placed separately, it doesn’t seem to be a single room.
However, since there was no sign of life, it seemed that he had arrived first.
No, but that’s not the point.
[Once again, congratulations on passing the practical assessment. From now on, Ban Yu-won will be staying in Room 1303 of Building D of the Union Academy Men’s Dormitory as a prospective student. Room 1303 is a double room, and the person living with him/her is currently in the process of preparing for admission.]
[The entrance ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow at 9 AM. There is a guidebook in the room that contains basic information about the academy, so please read it carefully. Also, if you would like a personal interview before the entrance ceremony, please fill out the form provided in the room.]
I never thought he would give me exactly what I wanted.
Ban Yu-won searched the room and soon found something similar to a questionnaire prepared on the desk.
A simple form where you only need to write down the time and reason for your desired interview.
Time is ‘as fast as possible’, because…
“… … Let’s write honestly.”
I don’t know about Union Academy.
I never submitted an application for admission in the first place.
I was flustered when I suddenly had to take the practical exam after passing the document screening. I somehow managed to pass, but I don’t have confidence that I can do well in a school that requires such practical skills, so I wish they would send me back to my original world.
After writing up to that part, Ban Yu-won hesitated for a moment, but soon wrote one more sentence.
‘Transportation fee payment required’
As he finished writing, the paper dissolved into thin air.
For your information, all of the texts he wrote were written in the language that appeared in the Academy information window.
The response came quickly.
[Your interview request has been accepted. Professor of Magical Combatology, Yumina, will conduct an interview with the prospective students. The time will be one hour, and students who are ready will be summoned to the professor’s preparation room. In the meantime, please prepare yourself and keep your bearings in order.]
Yumina? Are you Korean?
Ban Yu-won, who thought about it for a moment, quickly shook his head.
Union Academy accepted students from many different levels, so professors were no exception.
‘More than that.’
Ban Yu-won, who had been told to tidy up his body, looked at his body again and realized for the first time how dirty he was.
The condition was a mess, with blood, sweat, and other secretions that were too much to even mention, as well as dust.
His plain clothes, which had been neat when he was dragged into the dungeon, were already tattered and in rags.
Ban Yu-won was worried about what to do with the clothes he was going to change into, so he took them all off and went into the shower room.
The shower rooms in other worlds weren’t all that different from those on Earth.
The only difference is that controlling the temperature and strength of the water is all done through magic tools, but since the shape is intuitive, it is not that difficult to control.
“Hoooooo… … .”
I let out a sigh as I soaked my body in hot water.
In addition, the parts of the body that were injured during the battle and the joints that were damaged from moving too much screamed at the same time.
As the concept of life and the body developed, many of his wounds disappeared, and from the moment he awakened his magical powers, a mysterious process that could be called self-healing began to occur within his body, so he was gradually getting better.
‘If I go back to Earth now, I think I’ll do okay if I compete in the UFC.’
Since absorbing the concept of the Blind Goblin Warrior, Ban Yu-won has been aware that his physical abilities have improved to a whole new level.
He already has excellent basic physical abilities, but with the addition of swordsmanship, he has mastered the basic methods of handling his body.
If you activate your magic power here, it is no exaggeration to say that you might even be able to go to the Olympics.
… … In other words, even though he has grown to this extent, he is still at the level of a successful athlete on Earth.
‘But, if we continue to collect language concepts in this way… … ?’
The Blind Goblin Den is, so to speak, the lair of the weakest.
If you defeat stronger guys than him, the growth of Ban Yu-won will naturally increase.
If he continues to grow stronger like that, he will be able to stand up to the irresponsible academy leaders who brought him here… … .
As I was thinking that, I came to my senses and raised one hand and slapped my cheek.
“Is this crazy?”
What’s the big deal about having to go through such hardships while being dropped into a lower-dimensional special den of the weakest?
Defeat guys stronger than him?
Why would you risk your life to become stronger?
Even if he’s crazy, he seems to be really crazy.
I never knew that I had such a savage instinct latent in me.
‘Let’s go home.’
You don’t need any more power than this.
He will return to Earth, attend a first-class university, and enjoy his youth.
And I will become a diplomat, following in the footsteps of my grandfather and father, and continue the glory of my family.
A very boring, but peaceful and comfortable life, yes, a very dull and boring life… … .
‘I think I’ve really lost my mind.’
After I finished showering and patted my head several times, I noticed a basket in front of the bathroom filled with new underwear and what appeared to be a dark brown uniform.
Clothes that are, without a doubt, made for you.
When I put it on my body in order, it fit so perfectly that it gave me goosebumps.
“The clothes… are pretty.”
It’s probably a school uniform.
It was only yesterday that I graduated from high school and now I have to wear my uniform again. I grumbled and put it on, but the moment I put it on, all my complaints disappeared.
When you wear clothes, there is absolutely no feeling of restriction or stuffiness.
It was comfortable, almost like being naked, and even pleasant.
As he entered and exited the dungeon, Ban Yu-won, who had developed a basic understanding of magic, realized that this uniform was also possessed by magic.
[Are you ready for the interview?]
“yes.”
I’m not going to enroll, but can I give you this uniform as a gift?
If they say no, how can they not sneak out just the concept of language?
Despite those worries, I responded to the message.
* * *
When I blinked, I was already inside a large room that was different from the dormitory.
It was very impressive to see that the entire wall beyond the desk in the center was made of glass windows, allowing a clear view of the outside.
“Welcome, student Ban Yu-won.”
A young, beautiful woman, sitting at the desk and holding the weight, greeted him warmly.
When I saw her name, I thought she might be Korean, but she wasn’t even human, let alone Korean.
As if to prove it, her skin was green, her hair was covered in lush flower petals, and instead of her pupils, two red jewels were shining brightly, staring straight at him.
But it was truly surprising that, despite its seemingly disparate appearance, it felt beautiful.
“You know how student Ban Yu-won caught the attention of all the professors during the exam process? Oh my, special admission, general admission, it’s the first time in my five hundred years that I’ve ever created a new artifact during an evaluation… … Student Ban Yu-won? Where are you looking?”
but.
Even though I had such a different and beautiful alien in front of me.
Despite coming with an important request: to be sent back to Earth.
Ban Yu-won’s gaze was fixed outside the window.
Professor Yumina, who soon noticed his gaze, also smiled with her purple lips curled.
“Is this your first time seeing our academy? Hehe, I’m glad you like it. How is it, do you want to attend Union Academy?”
“yes yes?”
“Well, I guess you’d be surprised if you were suddenly dragged into a practical evaluation. Earth, right? How low of a dimensional level do you have to be to not know about the existence of Union Academy, which boasts the highest reputation in all dimensions… … Ahem! I can answer any questions you have. How is the Union Academy entrance exam conducted, how much specialized education the students will receive in the future and how their aptitude will develop… … .”
“professor.”
Ban Yu-won asked, looking out the window as if possessed.
To be precise, he was looking at a huge tower built on a hill beyond the academy buildings.
A tower so high that it seems to pierce the sky, so high that you can’t even look up at its top.
“What is the name of that tower?”
“It’s true that you don’t know about Union Academy. You don’t know about the Tower of Babel.”
The Tower of Babel.
The professor tilted his head at Ban Yoo-won, who burst into laughter, but continued his explanation kindly.
“The origin of all the mysteries and dangers of the world, the dungeon of dungeons. That Tower of Babel is the very reason why our Union Academy was built. To nurture the most talented students from all dimensions and help them reach the top of the tower. That is the secret of our Union Academy, and the last hope shared by all dimensions. … … Ban Yu-won, student? Why are you smiling like that?”
“No. It’s just that… … I changed my mind a little.”
Our building was here.
Ban Yu-won decided to enroll in Union Academy on the spot.
