Admission is a waste of time (40)
Lesson 9. Learning martial arts – 5
“Uh, uh uh… … .”
Ban Yu-won urgently stretched out his hands toward the sky.
This was because the thread that had been descending to a certain altitude was about to rise back into the sky the moment he observed it.
But as he stretched out his hand and exerted his will powerfully, the dizziness swirling around in his body reacted to it and burned hotly.
It was as if he was spreading his will and presence wherever he reached out.
‘It’s as if my power is being strengthened by the mysterious energy… … .’
Since the original magical power can also be transformed into anything, isn’t it a power that can be called omnipotent?
Because it has been purified through the Hyunshinkong and has become closer to the nature of Banyuwon, just the fact that Hyungi is imbued in his power has made his power incomparably stronger than before!
Due to the strong suction power of his power, a part of the thread came loose and touched Ban Yu-won’s hand, and Ban Yu-won grabbed it and pulled it calmly.
Then, a large string of strings came loose and wrapped around his hand.
‘Good!’
Of course, what he was able to salvage was only a very small portion of the strings that made up the thread, but in fact, this was a lot compared to what the group had obtained.
Anyway, I think I’ll be constantly entangled with things like constellations, and there will be another opportunity to tear that concept apart later.
Ban Yoo-won decided to focus on immediate results.
[You realize a more active and violent use of your power. The depth of Mandok-an, Mancheongi, and Maneonsun each increases by 10. The depth of Life has reached 260.]
[You realize how to strengthen your abilities by putting your will into your vertigo. The depth of your vertigo has become 25. The depth of your vertigo has become 152.]
First of all, his development occurred purely through the process of robbing a bunch of strings.
The feeling that the limits of power were collapsing was felt more clearly by Ban Yu-won than by anyone else.
Even without necessarily checking the notification that the depth had deepened, I was the one who knew best how to handle and develop my power in the future.
‘This isn’t a favor that can be expressed in just a gift of clothes.’
This was quite a nerve-wracking situation for Ban Yu-won, who believed that favors should be repaid as they were received.
However, when I glance at Dokgoyeon, I see that she still has her eyes tightly shut, perhaps feeling the afterglow of leveling up.
Ban Yu-won sighed softly and turned his gaze back.
With a golden string woven around his hand, rippling and slowly unraveling.
[Life 50, Physical 20, Magic 15, Ten Thousand Changes 1]
The enormous amount of life that made him groan involuntarily was what first shocked him.
A whopping 50, I’ve never had this many lives at once.
Of course, I was thinking of giving Eve some.
“15 or so will be enough?”
“Shishishit.”
Eve, who was moved, expressed her intense emotion by tightening and loosening Ban Yu-won’s arm.
He smirked and gave his life to the guy, then absorbed the rest himself.
As it was a reward given directly from the tower, life and body were applied intact without any deterioration, and surprisingly, the same was true for magic power.
[15 absorbed magic powers are converted into mysterious energy.]
‘Oh, oh.’
Although we were expecting some loss, the result was surprisingly 100%.
I ended up getting 15 points of vertigo.
As the life grew there, the soul also grew along with it, so it was almost like clearing several rooms!
‘If I hadn’t given Eve life, I would have passed 300.’
Suddenly, such a thought occurred to Eve, but she calmed herself down by reminding herself that the guy’s growth was just as important as her partner’s.
And now, more importantly.
[Absorbs all changes 1. It is the highest concept and a concept that humans cannot possess.]
A concept of the highest level that seems to have ‘not yet been transformed into another concept’ during the process of being awarded from the tower to humans.
Working with the Babylonian Code, Ban Yuan discovered that language had different types of superordinate and subordinate concepts than those classified by conventional linguistic rules, and the way to distinguish them was through the scope of the concept’s application and the golden brightness of the concept.
Among the martial arts, the brightness of Hyunshinkong is particularly strong, and the brightness of Hyunki is stronger than that of magic.
‘And this is… … just blinding, blinding.’
All kinds of changes.
Ban Yu-won had hoped that he might gain the ability to transform, but if that were possible, he would have been able to apply the same transformation to himself as he had given to Eve before he could handle the world.
“Shh, shhh.”
“Hey, you want it? You want it?”
“Shishishishit! Shhhh!”
Eve’s whining and cuteness as she realized that Ban Yu-won had a more wonderful and delicious concept than the life of the 15 he had just swallowed was too cute to keep to herself.
The rest of the group, who had roughly figured out the changes caused by leveling up, were staring at Eve.
“It’s cute.”
“How about using this as video content, Ban?”
“A good boy who follows his master well.”
It seems like only Ruchelman missed the point of appreciation.
Ban Yu-won, who enjoyed Eve’s aegyo so much that he didn’t have anyone else to give it to anyway (he briefly imagined giving Lilith a Man-byun and transforming her into an arrogant person), took out the Man-byun and gave it to the guy.
But as is always the case when giving Eve a concept, something unexpected happened.
[The subject has mastered the lower concepts, and the compatibility is miraculously high! The subject who has accepted the concept undergoes a fundamental mutation!]
“what?”
“Shhhh!”
The moment he thought, “A mutation of the root?” his innate ability to understand language unraveled the incomprehensible language into something understandable.
It is a mutation of the root, which is to overcome the innate nature and form, that is, the origin, and achieve evolution at a level that literally changes the paper.
It was a miracle that only happens once every few years across all dimensions!
[All concepts possessed by the target are combined into one. The individuality and characteristics of all concepts centered around the Manbyeon are fused to create a being with a unique concept. However, it takes a considerable amount of time until hatching.]

All the strings the guy was holding burst out of Eve’s body and flashed.
Eve cried loudly, then rolled up her body, and the golden strings wrapped around her in several layers, eventually forming an oval-shaped egg.
“uh…….”
Ban Yu-won held the golden egg, which was so small that he could barely hold it with both palms, and his pupils shook.
It’s great that Eve is evolving, but I didn’t know it would take time.
Of course, it’s not like there’s any immediate problem without him, but the problem is Ruchel.
‘In case of emergency, there is no way to calm Ruchel down.’
I’ve always believed that.
When Ban Yu-won glanced at her, Ruchel just smiled brightly as if she still trusted him without any doubt.
I can’t figure out where this woman’s trust comes from!
“It looks like a shift is about to happen.”
“Shift? Oh, wait a minute.”
Ban Yu-won came to his senses only after hearing Dokgo Yeon muttering.
There was something here that hadn’t been recovered yet.
Ban Yu-won, who had hastily put the golden egg into his inventory, headed towards the hole where the Irregular he had sent earlier had disappeared without a trace.
Then, as expected, the person disappeared without a trace, but the swaying golden string was still found to have remained!
[Steals Life 29, Flesh 26, Magic 24, Soul 11, Space Control 2.5, Submerged Step 5.7, and Stigmata 0.1.]
It was good that I was able to suck it up in one breath, but there were too many corners to tackle.
First, let’s start with the four core codes.
Unlike the concept that was torn off from the tower earlier, it was instantly reduced to less than half when absorbed into Ban Yu-won’s body.
Especially in the case of horsepower, 24 was replaced by only 6 vertigo, making Ban Yu-won’s mind dizzy.
After holding back tears and absorbing all the concepts, the core code was organized like this.
[core]
Raw 305
Flesh 246
Vertigo 173
Soul 452
‘But I guess it’s okay since the life is over 300… … . I don’t know about anything else. Space control? Is this the thing that Dokgoyeon bounced off earlier?’
If so, the step (步) with the word “jamyeong” (潛影), which means hiding one’s shadow, would be the technique by which the irregular quickly retreated while hiding his appearance.
As if to prove that Ban Yu-won’s imagination was correct, both were concepts that humans could possess, but the only problem was that it was not possible to express meaningful abilities at this level of depth.
‘I knew I couldn’t bring back the depth of concept that the original subject had, but this is a bit too much. Will it improve with practice?’
At least I was able to enter the martial arts world through diving, and since I already knew that the concept of martial arts is that the depth of your training will increase as you practice, I felt a little more at ease.
It was this last concept that was most disturbing to Ban Yu-won.
[Stigmata 0.1 – Traces of a star. The purification of a pure star that has lost all of its originality.]
stigma.
Just looking at the name, nothing seems as powerful as this, but it bothers me a little that it’s so obvious that it’s connected to a constellation.
However, I decided to keep it for now since the explanation that it is a pure purification with all of its originality gone is not false.
Yes, that’s right.
Stigmata was a concept that humans could possess.
“Ah, 10 room.”
“It’s a rest area.”
When Ban Yu-won raised his head after organizing all the concepts, the shift had already occurred and the surrounding environment had changed.
The overall environment was not much different from Room 9, which could be called a kind of irregular room, but there were no pillars sticking out of the ground and a beautiful fountain was installed on the wall.
This is the basic type of rest area.
In other words, it is an environment equipped with ‘safety’ and ‘drinking water.’
“They say that if you’re unlucky, there are times when you don’t even have water, but fortunately that’s not the case.”
“Rather… … I think it’s a jackpot?”
As Light spoke in a somewhat excited voice and pointed upward, they could see tree branches hanging down from the distant ceiling above their heads.
The branches were lined with a variety of fruits, from fig-like ones hanging closest to the arboretum to apples, apricots, bananas, grapes, melons, and watermelons, all hanging together, creating a bizarre yet abundant beauty.
“I heard that the fruits grown in the rest area not only help you recover from fatigue, but also increase your potential.”
“Yeah, it definitely looks like a watermelon, but it’s not a watermelon, so it would be okay for it to grow on a tree… … .”
The moment he suppressed the urge to tackle and ate the fig, all thoughts disappeared from Ban Yu-won’s mind.
[You have gained 1 Life, 2 Magic, and 4 Charm.]
‘delicious!’
I decided not to think about the question of why eating fruit increases my attractiveness for now.
What matters now is that this fig is a rare treasure that Ban Yu-won has never eaten in his entire life and probably never will.
“Phew… … .”
“Wow.”
“Black.”
Looking around, the other members were also biting into a piece of fruit, and Light was on the verge of tears!
“I never thought I would actually enter the tower and even eat the fruit of Eden… … !”
“Eden?”
“You didn’t know?”
Light spoke with a face that could not hide its emotion, munching on the banana in his hand.
“The climbers call the rest area Eden. No one knows what it means, but everyone knows that the tower has designated this area as Eden. That’s why everyone calls this fruit the Fruit of Eden… … You read the rest in the textbook, right? The probability of fruit forming in the rest area is less than 10%.”
“It’s so delicious… … and surprisingly, I feel my stamina increasing. It’s accompanied by a small but permanent growth. I want to eat more, though.”
Dokgo Yeon, who is crazy about sweets, was eating a ripe apricot and had a really happy expression on her face, which was surprisingly cute.
“You said you were only allowed one per person. No matter how many you collect, they disappear the moment you move to the next room… … .”
“I’m full, I’m full. I can’t eat anything more.”
Ban Yu-won nodded absentmindedly as he listened to Ruchel, who had quickly finished off a bunch of grapes, caressing his stomach.
“Even if you try to keep them, they’ll disappear if you leave here, and even if you try to eat as much as you want, you’ll get full after eating just one… … In other words, it’s like a tasting corner.”
“Tasting corner?”
“If you want, I can take you later. There’s just the minor problem of having to cross dimensions.”
The fruit here is so full that you can’t eat a second piece once you’ve eaten it.
They say that if you ignore that feeling of fullness and eat one more fruit, there are serious side effects, and even Ban Yu-won knew that it was a very dirty side effect.
“Where… … Oh, really.”
It was the moment when Ban Yu-won neatly chopped down a fig.
It gave me a strangely satisfying feeling of fullness, and I didn’t want to eat anything else.
It’s as if, in the realm of instinct, they’re firmly asserting that ‘I can’t eat anymore’.
But something even more surprising happened right after that.
[You have gained 4 Life, 6 Magic, and 16 Charm.]
[They ate the only fruit of Eden, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. From now on, Mandok-an will be able to distinguish between sin and evil.]
Ban Yu-won stopped moving as if he was stunned.
‘What did I just eat?’
The tree of good and evil?
That Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden after eating the fruit…
“ah.”
Ban Yu-won hit his forehead.
Rather, it is absurd why I didn’t realize it until now.
This space is called Eden, and the fruit is called the fruit of the Garden of Eden.
Moreover, the fruit he ate was none other than a fig.
In the West, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is often depicted as an apple, but that is just an image that Westerners have come up with.
There is a description in the Bible that Adam and Eve, feeling ashamed of their nakedness after eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, covered themselves with fig leaves.
Why would he have covered himself with fig leaves? After all, the fruit he had just eaten was a fig, so the nearest tree would have been a fig tree.
‘No, what I ate was really the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Eden? No, it couldn’t be, but… … .’
At least his power judged this to be the fruit of good and evil, and he even mentioned that it was the only fruit in the tower, so even if he didn’t know, it was definitely a very special fruit.
Moreover, wasn’t there an incredible ability added to Mandok?
“Ban Yu-won, why are you making such a strange expression? Is it because you want to eat more fruit?”
“No, it’s not because of something cute… … . It’s nothing.”
Ban Yu-won quickly tries to fix the expression on Dokgo Yeon’s face as soon as he sees it starting to distort.
However, looking around at her and her group, I couldn’t see anything particularly different.
“Bar, half!”
That was when.
Light, who was looking around, found something and called out to him with a loud voice.
“There’s even a treasure chest here!”
“The artifact has appeared!”
It was the existence of a treasure chest that was said to be found in the rest area with a probability as rare as the Fruit of Eden!
The Banyuwon party hit the jackpot on their first visit to the rest area!
