Admission is a waste of time (46)
Lesson 11. Apprentice Magician Ban Yu-won – 1
Saturday, when Yumina heard the news that Rebellion had brought an artifact from the dungeon and was shocked like a foreigner who had just eaten Spam wrapped in kimchi for the first time in her life, passed and Sunday morning dawned.
Ban Yu-won decided to go to the outer city of Ronica with the members of Rebellion to soothe the shock of Lost and to reflect on his actions.
In fact, it was because if I stayed still, it seemed like the light would eventually fall into Dokgoyeon’s hands.
“Where are you going? This piece of shit needs to roll around a little more.”
Of course, Dokgo Yeon himself stubbornly refused, saying that Light’s nature had to be corrected, but Ban Yu-won could not ignore Light, who was looking at him with desperate eyes, and persuaded Dokgo Yeon.
“It’s not good to just roll around too much. Besides, we have to talk about what we got from the tower. Let’s go out and get some fresh air.”
“I think that kind of leisure will make this burrow rust even more.”
“Ba, Ban. Did I do that… that wrong?”
“Oh, yeah. I did make a mistake.”
It is said that the two who had been lost earlier than Ban Yu-won and Ruchel yesterday went straight to the training room after giving a brief explanation to Yumina.
Strictly speaking, it would be more correct to say that Dokgo Yeon dragged Light and confined him in the training room.
And since he didn’t come back to his room all night, that means he was locked in the training room all night.
But Ban Yu-won honestly understood her anger and in some ways, he was even more agitated than her.
“To be honest, if it weren’t for that mistake yesterday, I would have gone to Room 20.”
It was because I was exhausted in Room 19 and got roasted together with Ruchel.
Room 20 is Eden, the area where rewards come from.
I don’t know for sure, but the exploration from room 11 onwards was not easy, so there must have been some kind of reward. To put it hastily, I could say that the reward was blown because of the light.
“But, but… … that was a mistake.”
“Mistake? It seems like you haven’t properly reflected on it yet.”
Dokgo Yeon spoke threateningly and wiggled his fingers.
With each snap of her fingers, different colored sparks appeared.
I didn’t even want to ask what kind of technology it was.
“No. It was all my fault. I’m sorry, everyone. I was too harsh yesterday.”
Light began to reflect rapidly, perhaps thinking the same thing as Ban Yu-won.
It was an immediate reaction that let me know how much he had rolled over the night before.
“Look, Light is reflecting too, so let’s take a breather. Okay?”
“… … Phew.”
Dokgo Yeon made a displeased expression, but eventually nodded.
“I can’t help it. Instead, today I’ll have two spoons.”
“what?”
“I mean the sweet… jam I made yesterday.”
Are you really suggesting that we negotiate here?
After thinking about it for a while, Ban Yu-won eventually came to a conclusion that everyone could agree with.
“Okay, then I’ll take the light portion today as punishment.”
“Ahhh?!”
After successfully seeing such a dramatic conclusion, the group finished breakfast, prepared themselves, and headed to Ronica.
Since they were now a group with quite a few well-known faces, they all wore plain clothes to avoid attracting attention. Among them, the most impressive one was the gorgeous black traditional costume worn by Dokgo Yeon.
It was a truly elegant and beautiful piece of clothing, somewhat resembling a hanbok, with a loose fit but with a belt tied around the waist to subtly reveal the body.
“I’ll buy you some clothes first. Right now.”
“I look forward to it.”
It was a pretty outfit that suited Dokgo Yeon, who was an orphan, very well, but from the perspective of someone who went around with her, it was honestly cumbersome, and if not careful, it had the disadvantage of attracting more attention than the school uniform!
“Then today, I’ll first buy Dokgoyeon’s clothes… … and then I’ll buy mirrors for everyone.”
“Mirror?”
Light, who had been exhausted from being teased all night, perked up his ears when he heard those words.
Meanwhile, Dokgo Yeon tilted his head.
“We can receive communications from the Academy with our student ID, so why do we need to provide our own communication device?”
“Because the student ID doesn’t have a calling function. To be exact, we don’t have the authority to call.”
“Sender? Why would you need such a function… … ?”
“I don’t know about that. When I had dinner with Professor Yumi yesterday, she said something like that. She said it would be good to have a device that can communicate with each other from a distance. Most of the other students came from higher dimensions, so they brought mirrors with them, right?”
While Dokgoyeon was lost in thought after hearing Ban Yu-won’s story, Light and Ruchel’s expressions became a little strange.
“You two had a meal together yesterday? That guy is a bit strange.”
“It stinks. It’s a raw,… … vulgar, female stench.”
“It’s amazing that a beast could say those words.”
“Kang!”
Dokgo Yeon, who had been scolding Ruchel, gathered his thoughts and spoke.
“If it was because of our problems going outside, we would have said something when the club was formed. Does that mean we are doing something at the academy level?”
“I heard that the academy has a lot of extracurricular activities in addition to regular classes.”
“Special activities? Ah.”
Dokgo Yeon made an impression.
“I think you said you weren’t allowed to go up to the tower during special activity weeks.”
“It’s strange to send them to the top every week in the first place. They’ll distribute them appropriately in the future.”
Union Academy is built to help students climb the tower, but it never focuses solely on the tower.
We also place a lot of emphasis on humanities education and character education, and spare no effort in providing various support so that students can experience and accept more diverse things.
Why else would they call it an academy that trains the next generation of gods?
Extracurricular activities were also likely to fall into that category.
“Ugh, I don’t like it.”

“Calm down. Come on, let’s go buy some clothes.”
“Did you really think that would make me feel better?”
Ban Yu-won took the grumbling Dokgo Yeon and his group to the department store.
Unlike Ruchel, whose body type is somewhat overly glamorous, Dokgo Yeon has a slim and long body with a perfectly balanced model body type that goes in where it should and out where it should.
Except for the slightly creepy look given by the unique cross pupils, his face was so neatly put together that it was hard to find clothes that didn’t suit him.
Dokgo Yeon himself looked a little uneasy.
“Does this kind of flowing outfit really suit me?”
“Yeah, the traditional outfit is more fluttery. Let’s buy this one since it goes well with everything.”
“I don’t know, but if you say so… … .”
In fact, Ban Yu-won had a lot of experience being dragged around shopping by his older sister, so he was quite good at looking at women’s clothes.
On the other hand, Dokgo Yeon seems unfamiliar with Union’s colorful and casual clothing culture and is rarely dragged around by Ban Yoo-won’s lead.
Ban Yu-won also got excited because it was a little bit fun.
“How about this one-piece dress next? If it suits you well, I’ll buy it.”
“Yeah, yeah, I understand.”
“Then shall we look at knitwear next?”
After trying on a variety of clothes and buying all the ones that matched her, I ended up spending over 100,000 won just on shopping for her clothes.
It is an absurd level of luxury that, if converted to Korean Won, would amount to a whopping ten million won.
However, Ban Yu-won knew that this was just a pittance considering the value of the gift he had received, so he was willing to pay the price.
“Haha, the clothes I received as a gift are heavy.”
After the shopping was over, Dokgoyeon looked quite satisfied, but that wasn’t because she liked the clothes, but because Ban Yuwon had spent more money on them than when he had given them to Ruchel as a gift.
“… … Greedy pig.”
“What did you say?”
However, Ruchel looked slightly offended.
The way he looked so jealous of Dokgo Yeon was so cute.
But the look in Dokgoyeon’s eyes as he heard her muttering was truly terrifying, so Ban Yuwon didn’t dare open her mouth.
* * *
After buying clothes and even a mirror for everyone, the four of them found a room in a suitable restaurant.
After lunch and dessert, surprisingly, Ruchel was the first to open the door.
“I don’t think it’s good to get drunk on power and run wild like you did yesterday, Light.”
“I don’t know about other people, but you, Ruchel, are you the one who said that?!”
It was natural for Light to cry out in frustration, as he remembered Ruchel’s appearance as a beast from the moment Eve’s actions became impossible.
However, Ruchel, who had been timid and reserved until then, made a pleased expression on her face, reached under the table, grabbed the hand of Ban Yu-won sitting next to her, and replied.
“For me, it was completely resolved. Yuwon resolved it for me.”
“… … Yuwon? Did you just call your class Yuwon?”
“Oh, indeed.”
Light made a face of embarrassment after hearing Ruchel’s words, while Dokgoyeon, on the other hand, had a satisfied look on his face.
But Ban Yu-won was just as surprised as Light.
When people are around, I tell them to call me by my name, but they really are just calling me by my first name without my last name?
In Korea, it was natural to call each other by our first names, but since coming here, I’ve always heard people call me by my full name or last name, so this kind of title felt strangely unfamiliar.
“I had a feeling it would be like this. I guess it ended well.”
“Dokgo Yeon, were you really able to see through everything?”
“I don’t see through everything. I just see what I can see.”
Dokgo Yeon replied with a faint smile and looked back at Ruchel as he asked.
“Then I guess it’s safe to say that your problem is completely solved?”
“yes.”
“Luchelle answered confidently, squeezing Ban Yu-won’s hand so hard that it almost broke.
Ban Yu-won wanted to say that he was sick, but he held back as he looked at her determined face.
Light muttered with a miserable expression as Dokgo Yeon smiled strangely, as if he had guessed the changed relationship between the two.
“So now I’m the only one who has a hole in the party… … .”
“Hey, Dokgoyeon, how much do you have to push a kid around in a day to call yourself a hole?”
“I think you all felt it yesterday, but the problem with that sword is serious.”
Dokgo Yeon continued speaking, cleanly ignoring Ban Yu-won’s questioning.
“Light, is there anything you’d like to say about that?”
“… … None. I also realize that my actions yesterday were unnatural. I will try to fight without the Holy Sword… … the Holy Sword.”
That probably wasn’t what Dokgo Yeon wanted.
I guess Light wanted to be more open about his situation and ask for their help.
However, even though Light acknowledged his problem, he never revealed the details regarding the Holy Sword.
If that was the case, then there was no way they could force their way in any further.
-At least for now.
“Phew.”
It was then that Dokgo Yeon, who let out a soft sigh, nodded to Ban Yu-won.
Ban Yu-won looked as if he didn’t know why she was winking at him.
No, what can I do? I was able to tie up and subdue Ruchel, but I can’t do that to Light!
But then it happened.
―There’s no point in putting aside the sword and trying to fight like this. We need to approach it from a fundamental perspective.
I flinched.
He couldn’t help but be surprised when Dokgo Yeon’s voice was directly transmitted to his mind.
Could this be telepathy? Is this the famous martial arts telepathy, telepathy!
―You’re sharing a room with this punk. What the hell is that useless handsome face of yours for? I want you to try and seduce him properly!
Ban Yu-won almost spit out the chocolate cake that was in his mouth.
Whether or not Ruchel tilted her head in confusion as she realized that his appearance was strange, Ban Yu-won had a hard time enduring the flood of Dokgoyeon’s voices pouring into his mind.
―If you gently peel it off while trying to please him, leaving only the flesh, do you think he’ll still be stubborn until then? Surely you’re not saying that you can easily seduce beasts but can’t seduce light, right?
If anyone heard this, they would think Ban Yu-won was Casanova.
He felt extremely wronged.
It’s not like I really seduced Ruchel either, and it’s not like she likes Ban Yu-won rationally!
―You were the one who told me to take Light to the end. I’ll try my best, but don’t think about letting go either.
However, Ban Yu-won cannot refute the claim because he cannot use the full text.
The transmission ended with Dokgo Yeon’s unilateral declaration.
Ban Yu-won sighed in bewilderment at Dokgo Yeon’s act of ignoring everything that had just happened, and had no choice but to take out his secret weapon that he had been saving.
“Since it also ties into the Light issue, I’d like to discuss the rewards I got from Room 16.”
“Room 16? Trick room?”
“Yeah. I found a treasure chest.”
Ban Yu-won checked the security of the room and cleared away the plates on the table.
And what was placed on top of it was a spear.
It was a long spear, about two and a half meters long, and was a very simple, solid white metal piece.
“Could this be an oddity? An artifact?”
When Dokgo Yeon, who had confirmed it, asked in bewilderment, Ban Yu-won nodded.
“That’s right. To be honest, it would be difficult for Light to fight naked without the Holy Sword. At first, I tried to have him hold the sword, but… … .”
“You cannot hold any real sword other than the Holy Sword. That is the contract.”
“Light said, pouting.
Ban Yu-won nodded and continued speaking.
“So, I have to conclude that I have no choice but to carry another weapon. I went in with my bare hands during this exploration to gain experience in various ways, but I can’t do that next time. Since I’ve obtained the artifact, I thought it might be a good idea to have Light carry it.”
“I… I think it’s okay. It’s also an easy weapon to learn at a beginner level.”
“But is it really an artifact? I don’t know if it’s possible to get two artifacts in one exploration, but I think our party is the first… … .”
Rather than doubting Ban Yoo-won, Light says that because he simply cannot believe the situation and reaches out to the window.
Immediately afterwards his movements stopped.
Judging by the slight twitching of his pupils, I guess he must have seen the item information window this time.
“… … This is real. And it’s still unbelievable that it came from a low-level source.”
“You use that. Dokgoyeon, are you going to teach Light how to use the spear?”
Since I told you to turn off the light, I won’t let you fall for it easily.
Dokgoyeon laughed and responded to Ban Yuwon, who was sending her a look with such a meaning.
“If it’s just the basics, then yes. It’s unknown how much Light will be able to follow my teachings without the assistance of the Holy Sword, though.”
“I don’t hate windows either. … … I’ll try.”
Light nodded firmly, although his expression was somewhat uneasy.
Why do you look so anxious?
‘Surely it’s not like I can’t swing my spear properly because of the Holy Sword. As Dokgo Yeon said, it’s a problem that needs to be solved fundamentally.’
Ban Yu-won sighed, worried that the day would come when he would have to seduce Light, and then remembered that there was something he had not told the group yet.
“And I’ll be taking Professor Yumina’s magic class starting next week, so everyone should know that. There’s no change to the classes we take together, but there’s an additional class on Thursday afternoons.”
“magic?!”
That was the moment when the biggest bomb exploded that day.
