Lesson 11. Apprentice Magician Ban Yu-won – 3
-I… I was human. I was human!
Hearing the artifact’s scream, Ban Yu-won was moved, even though it didn’t fit the mood.
“I think I’ve seen that line a hundred times in novels and comics.”
―Those guys, those guys! The people I trusted betrayed me and threw me into this staff! They wanted to plant false memories in me and turn me into a worthless being!
The staff’s ego screamed.
Meanwhile, Ban Yu-won, who had calmly organized the knowledge and skills he had accumulated in a short period of time, was able to deal with her with a mind like a clear mirror stopping water.
– It wasn’t a novel or a comic book or anything, I was a real, living human being!
“Okay, then why are you making such a fuss now as if you just remembered it now?”
―Now that I think about it… … ! The core spells that made up the staff were the locks that sealed my soul. If I had messed up the structure, my ego would have been torn to pieces, but you skillfully removed only the spells that sealed me, and that’s why I… … !
In fact, it was a story that was difficult to understand, but Ban Yu-won accepted it intuitively.
“You became complete?”
―No, it’s not perfect yet. It’s been sealed for so long… … Even if the door opens, I won’t be able to recall everything right away.
Of course. Even if you regain all the memories you had lost at once, there wouldn’t be any emotion or twist, right?
It’s amazing that he realized that he had been betrayed by someone and was trapped inside the staff.
‘No, come to your senses. No matter how absurd the events that are happening are, this is reality. … … Why did I start feeling uneasy when my soul level reached 200?’
Wasn’t it true that Ruchel’s soul, which was said to be of a much higher rank than other beings from the moment he was born, barely reached 200?
Considering that, it wasn’t an ordinary thing for a staff member who appeared in only 10 rooms to have 200 souls each.
―Revenge, I will get revenge. I will get my strength back… … and find them all!
“Okay, okay, so calm down… … Huh?”
Ban Yu-won sighed and looked at the staff again, then suddenly became surprised.
‘It’s changing… … ?’
It really seems like there was some kind of device installed on the staff.
As soon as Ban Yu-won cleanly removed the magical language and elemental magic that had been ‘forcibly injected’ into the staff, the staff began to change and regain its original function and appearance.
First of all, the length of the staff has been increased to 1.5 meters, so it can no longer be called a magic wand.
Moreover, the staff’s color, which had been pink, was now a clear red, almost blood red.
– I’ll kill you all! I’ll tear you to pieces and burn you to death!
“… … I feel like it suddenly changed from being for children to being for teenagers.”
It’s also a design that middle school kids would like.
Could this be a reflection of the soul’s feelings right now?
The staff, which had a sharp feel to its overall cold metallic texture, had a sharp blade sticking out like a spear at the end of its tail, so it seemed like it could be used to stab or cut enemies.
The head was set with a crimson jewel, and the concept of the soul was swirling around in a vast string of characters right inside it.
I didn’t even know that there was a jewel embedded in the staff until I took out the concept, so it’s possible that it was really hidden inside the staff.
But what’s really surprising is…
[Tears of Celon: Soul 350, Magic Power 300]
The artifact has grown significantly and even got a name.
The original soul depth was 200 and the magic power was 150.
The depth of ‘magic language’ and ‘elemental magic’ has been completely expanded!
I guess as the soul grows, its magical power naturally increases.
―Ugh, I can’t remember anymore… … . I can’t even remember their names. I can only vaguely recall their faces… … I guess this is the limit for now.
“There’s still room for more? At this point, it seems like it’s no longer for beginners.”
―Beginner? Beginner! Don’t talk nonsense. Do you think this body is worthless enough to teach you magic language or basic elemental magic?!
“So what is it?”
-That’s… That’s! I can’t say it!
Ban Yu-won could have bet his entire fortune on the fact that even he himself didn’t know exactly yet.
Your memories will be jumbled and confusing, and it will be incredibly difficult to explain yourself to others when you yourself don’t know what to do.
In fact, I didn’t want to use the Banyuwon Artifact, and I didn’t want to get involved in a grand narrative quest related to the Artifact.
… … But at the point where I obtained the artifact, I felt like I had already taken a step forward.
“Uh… … Then Celon? Since the artifact’s name is Celon’s Tears, I’ll call you Celon for now.”
―Celon… … Yes. Somehow, I feel at ease when I hear that name. You can call me Celon.
Judging from this reaction, it seems like Celon isn’t this guy’s real name.
Ban Yu-won was sure of it with his reasoning skills honed through countless language acquisitions, but he didn’t say anything.
“Well, now that we’ve gotten to the bottom of your past and your circumstances, Celon, let’s get down to the practical stuff. What can you do, how can you help me?”
―What? Did I ever tell you that I would cooperate with you? I’m already overwhelmed with my own work!
Ban Yu-won felt sorry.
As some of the memories returned, the other side seemed to have been lost.
“Actually, your opinion doesn’t matter. I’ll make it happen.”
―Huh, this honorable and noble body, it would be a problem if you underestimated the great wizard Selon. You wouldn’t be able to move this staff unless I wanted you to, right? Unless you promise to listen to everything I want from now on… … .
“Really? Then should I just turn the concept around? Or maybe it would be fun to throw in some other stuff?”
The magical language had already completely melted into his body, making it impossible to grant it as is, but Ban Yu-won had all sorts of concepts that could pressure this soul.
―… … Sigh, huff.
The staff was silent for a moment, then surrendered, sobbing.
―This cruel man, completely selfish from beginning to end. What crime did I commit to be locked up in such a small and stuffy place and then be toyed around by such a rascal, ugh.
“You idiot, you got it in the wrong order.”
Ban Yu-won clicked his tongue.
“Even if my motives were different, you regained your memories thanks to me, so shouldn’t you be the first to say thank you? But you were busy demanding things from me on that topic. Do you think I could treat you kindly in that situation? Think about it.”
―Ugh… … .

Celon keeps his mouth shut, as if he was being stabbed.
Regardless of whether he really was a great wizard as he said, I could clearly see that this ego’s mind was not very mature.
“That’s not how a deal is made. When you can offer merit to the other party, prove it and take merit from the other party. That’s the right way to make a deal.”
-eww…….
“But right now, you’ve unilaterally taken advantage of me. So instead of you making additional demands, it’s only natural that you first present me with the benefits you can give me before we move on to the next deal. Do you understand?”
-Sniff, yeah.
Looks like he’s convinced.
In fact, from Ban Yoo-won’s perspective, he had no intention of giving her any merit, so he couldn’t call this a deal. Also, since he had recovered the concept from the staff and had grown dramatically, he felt strange about recklessly pushing Celon, saying that he had benefited alone.
Words are just a matter of packaging.
Besides, the situation wasn’t all that wrong.
Where on earth do you make a preemptive offer to the master on the subject of artifacts?
―So… … if I help you well, you’ll grant my request?
“Keep in mind that you are in a minus state right now. You will have to work hard in the future. However, if I really benefit greatly from your support, then I will consider your request.”
―… … Okay. Sniff, then I’ll work hard.
This guy is an idiot.
In this way, Ban Yu-won was able to freely use his ego as a so-called great magician who had a hidden past and was foolish but had a definite soul.
* * *
The long-awaited Thursday afternoon has arrived.
The remaining three members of Rebellion headed to the Class 11 training room to get their bodies in shape for the special activities tomorrow after finishing all their classes.
“Yu-won, can you really not follow me? Even if it’s just to stay by my side… … .”
“No, no. Dokgoyeon, take her with you.”
“I haven’t been feeling well these past few days. Beast, follow me.”
“Wow!”
Ruchel is taken away by Dokgoyeon, crying out her husband’s name as he is drafted and taken to the battlefield.
Ban Yu-won waved his hand at Light, who followed the two with a bitter smile, and then started walking down the hallway alone.
‘I guess no one will see this by now.’
Because of the strong personalities of the members, whenever the four of them are together, they attract attention anywhere in the academy, but when Ban Yoo-won is left alone, he doesn’t stand out that much.
Objectively speaking, he was the most ordinary looking of the four. It was only natural since he also had the weakest energy out of the four.
‘Hmm, let’s see. The teleportation structure of the student ID card is… … .’
When I touch my student ID, the densely packed strings of characters inside begin to read.
Among them, Ban Yu-won discovered a concept related to spatial movement.
More precisely, among them, the coordinate is a variable element.
Once you understand how the coordinates that the president and Yumi each set up were created, it wasn’t that difficult to create your own new coordinates.
‘Especially because vertigo goes well with all kinds of concepts.’
Perhaps this will be his first magical trick.
The vertigo that Ban Yu-won had stretched out formed a magical language in the form of Chinese characters and entered the coordinates that he had memorized in advance.
At the same time, set the trigger for space movement and activate it.
The next moment, Ban Yu-won was standing outside the classroom where the magic combat class was being held.
“… … !”
He felt a presence next to him and turned his head to see a woman with sky blue hair looking at him with her eyes wide open.
The pupils were surprisingly close to a pure silver color that was difficult to distinguish from the whites of the eyes. In contrast to Dokgoyeon, whose pupils were all black without distinction between the whites and the blacks, there was a sacred feeling in those pupils.
But who was it? I think I’ve seen it somewhere.
‘Ah, special class.’
Class 11 basically takes all the lectures together with other classes, but among them, she was a female student belonging to Class 1, a special class where she takes the ‘Actual Combat Summary’ class on Tuesdays.
As with other lectures, the level of exclusion of Class 11 of the special class in that lecture was truly extreme.
If it weren’t for the incident where Dokgoyeon confronted and defeated Ortima, who was practically the representative of Class 1, there would have been several more bad things happening during class.
‘In fact, since the class itself has a lot of practice, it’s still similar now.’
This past Tuesday was also terrible.
Unlike the previous guy, Associate Professor Entel tries to conduct the class fairly, but he cannot rule out sparring, which is the purpose of the class, so he cannot completely stop the students of Class 1 from targeting Class 11.
The good news is that the level of Class 11 is clearly higher than Class 1.
Not to mention Dokgo Yeon, Ruchel has grown to the point where he can maintain his sanity and trample on several students from Class 1 on his own as long as Ban Yuwon is by his side.
Even Ban Yu-won had solid skills enough to defeat Irekto, one of the most notable talents in Class 1, so he didn’t lose easily in the duel, although it was annoying and tiring.
The problem was rather light.
If he could just draw the Holy Sword, he could take on anyone, but he has the restriction that he can’t draw the Holy Sword unless his life is in danger, and it hasn’t been that long since he first wielded a spear as a weapon…
This past Tuesday, he was the only member of Rebellion to suffer a defeat.
However, his opponent also knew that his main weapon was a sword, and since he couldn’t completely drive out Light, who was holding a spear, he looked extremely embarrassed and humiliated.
‘Yes, I clearly remember that during that time, this kid was left alone and not even training.’
Although she was a very beautiful girl, it wasn’t because of her looks that he remembered her.
Because throughout the lecture, no one approached her or spoke to her.
I didn’t feel like I was being bullied.
Rather, Ban Yu-won felt that the students of Class 1 were in awe of this woman.
It was a similar yet qualitatively different feeling to the one they had for Ortima.
‘But I can’t believe it… … you were a wizard.’
Judging from what we just encountered here, that must be it.
No attempt was made to examine her internal concept.
Judging from the aura of magical power she radiated, it was clear that she was of a higher rank than him, and the greater the difference in rank between them, the more difficult it was to read their internal concepts.
“Space travel?”
A thin and clear voice.
As he was thinking about this and that, Ban Yu-won realized a little too late that she had spoken to him.
“Yeah. It’s a student ID function.”
I responded nonchalantly, but there was not the slightest change in her facial expression.
“The coordinates changed, right?”
“……that’s right.”
“how?”
“Well, by magic… … .”
“You read and sorted through all the vast codes on the student ID? You changed only the coordinates needed for spatial movement? You? How? You interfered with the code the president had created?”
scared.
What the complete opposite, this woman was also Dokgo Yeon!
Ban Yu-won, startled by her asking him questions while sticking out her doll-like, pretty face, took a step back, but something soft suddenly touched his back and stopped him.
At the same time, a comfortable and sweet scent tickled his nose.
“Welcome back, Yuwon… … Student Ban Yuwon!”
“Professor Yumina!”
Ban Yu-won, who realized that he had used Yumina’s chest as a cushion, was startled and fell away from her, but Yumina smiled warmly as if telling him not to worry.
In fact, it makes no sense that a person like her could not avoid it because she didn’t know, so she must have done it on purpose.
“There was an Aire student too. Okay, let’s go in together.”
“……yes.”
She, called Aire, stared at Ban Yu-won intently, then entered the classroom with a look of disbelief after receiving Yumina’s urging gaze.
“Then shall we go in too?”
“Professor, that, tone.”
“Oops.”
Yumina tapped my lips, laughed happily, and gently pushed Ban Yu-won into the classroom.
It was only after Ban Yu-won entered the classroom that he realized that there were less than ten students attending this lecture.
When Ban Yu-won found out that this was the only number of students in the entire first year who could handle magic, he immediately wanted to run away from here, but unfortunately, Yumina had already blocked his escape route!
