Admission is a waste of time (49)

Lesson 11. Apprentice Magician Ban Yu-won – 4

“Everyone, we have a new student from Class 11, Ban Yu-won! Everyone, please give us a round of applause to welcome him!”

Ban Yu-won closed his eyes tightly at the words that Yumi-na blurted out as soon as class began.

What was really amazing was that the students were clapping so enthusiastically.

“I want to kill you.”

“Did you see Professor Yumina coming in earlier, laughing and chatting?”

“I really want to kill you.”

“I haven’t had a single personal conversation with the professor either… … .”

“Should I kill you, Misty?”

“Hold on.”

And that too with this curse attached!

Every single student attending her magic combat class was a fervent believer in Yumina, and she never looked kindly on Ban Yu-won, who was in Class 11, which Yumina was in charge of, and who was also taking magic classes.

However, Yumina just smiled and clapped her hands as if she couldn’t read the atmosphere at all.

‘I kind of expected it, but this is enemy territory too.’

However, since all of them are believers in Yumi, they will not openly attack Ban Yu-won.

But that was a foolish idea.

“professor!”

“Do you have any questions, Misty?”

Misty? She was the one who stopped the friend who tried to kill Ban Yu-won earlier.

When Ban Yu-won turned his head, he saw a pretty female student with short blond hair standing up from her seat.

Wait, I thought that face looked familiar, and it turned out to be a student from Class 1!

Moreover, the friend who tried to kill Ban Yu-won was also from Class 1.

There are exactly 9 students in this classroom, including Ban Yu-won, and three of them are in Class 1.

‘But… … I sat apart from that guy named Aire. I guess so.’

If we were in the same class, we would probably sit nearby.

Instead, Aire sat alone and proudly, as if there was a wall between her and the other students.

Looking at it, Ban Yu-won suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Dokgo Yeon before.

In response to Ban Yu-won’s words that Ortima was considered the most promising freshman, Dokgo Yeon clearly said this at the time.

‘There is at least one more useful person in the same class as that guy.’

I had forgotten about it because I wasn’t in a situation where I could care about other classes, but now that I look at it, I think it might be that girl.

“If that student can use magic, why hasn’t he taken this class before?”

“That’s because the student Ban Yu-won obtained an artifact during this tower exploration and became its owner, awakening his new talent as a wizard!”

While Ban Yu-won was thinking about Aire, Misty boldly questioned Ban Yu-won’s qualifications, and Yumina threw a bomb without hesitation.

“Artifact?!”

“Oh, you haven’t subscribed to the Rebellion channel yet? Check out the exploration video from last week. I’m in it too!”

“I’m subscribed, Professor!”

“I really liked the video yesterday, Professor!”

“You are beautiful!”

Misty is shocked by Yumina’s words.

… … And the students who don’t miss the opportunity to flatter Yumina!

Because of that, it took a while for the shock to spread throughout the classroom.

“Wait a minute, you’re saying you’re the owner of an artifact? An artifact that determines its owner?”

“Is there an artifact that awakens the wizard’s talent?”

Artifacts are of course extremely valuable items, but even in the upper levels, those who are great enough to be selected by the Union usually have one or two artifacts in their family.

But even they had never heard of an artifact that could awaken a wizard’s talents.

To begin with, it was a natural reaction, as humans born with magical talent were extremely rare, and it was almost impossible to acquire the talent later in life.

“Haha, of course, it’s impossible to make just anyone a wizard. The artifact chose the student Ban Yu-won as its master because he had hidden magical talents in the first place.”

Yumina calms down the students by lying calmly.

Then, the students’ gaze changed once again, and it would be accurate to say that it changed from jealousy to hatred.

He already had great natural talent, to the point where he was selected from a lower level, and to gain magical talent on top of that, I thought it was too much.

Misty opened her eyes narrowly and glared at Ban Yu-won, then opened her mouth again.

“Then, Professor, may I ask Ban Yu-won to show me some magic? Without any artifacts, of course… .”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

It was only last week that Ban Yu-won obtained the artifact.

Yumina, who judged that there was a high possibility that he would not be able to handle magic properly, tried to stop him, but Ban Yuwon immediately nodded and stepped forward himself.

“But I hope you keep in mind that I have only just started learning magic, so it might be difficult for me to use proper magic.”

“Ah! Then I’ll put up a barrier first. Student Ban Yu-won, can you show me?”

Yumina’s face brightened at Ban Yuwon’s confident attitude, and she quickly created a defensive barrier made of mana.

There were two types of magic that Ban Yu-won could choose from.

One is elemental magic absorbed from the staff.

The other is to cast magic in his own way, combining the magical language that he has come to understand and be able to unfold himself.

‘I want to use language magic to bring out my powers rather than elemental magic.’

Not only had I not yet properly established the concept and practiced it, but it was not something that could be shown in a place like this.

So Ban Yu-won decided to show off his elemental magic.

Elemental magic is a type of magic that combines the power of countless attributes based on the four major elements of water, fire, air, and earth, and displays them in various forms.

Ban Yu-won himself said that magic was the first thing that came to mind when he thought of it, and in fact, it is said to be the most common form of magic.

Although there are various systems of elemental magic, he could only use elemental magic that purely creates and transforms the power of attributes.

‘swirl.’

The element being handled is air, and the shape is a vortex.

The location of occurrence is on the palm of his hand.

In an instant, he decided on three intentions and infused the concept of elemental magic within his body with dizziness, and a small vortex appeared on the palm of his hand.

“ah!”

“That’s so fast!”

“There wasn’t even a spell… … Isn’t it closer to a supernatural ability than magic?”

“But it’s definitely magic. It’s intention magic that doesn’t require chanting!”

As Ban Yu-won concentrated his energy, thinking that he wanted to raise it, the vortex suddenly swelled up again.

When I shot it at the barrier Yumina had set up, the vortex disappeared with a loud noise.

Yumina smiled with satisfaction as she cleared the barrier.

“It’s surprising that he doesn’t have a spell, but his power is also amazing. I can’t believe he just started learning magic. Don’t you think so too?”

“That’s right, Professor.”

“You didn’t use an artifact, did you? Of course not, the professor is watching it too… … .”

“Ha, special recruitment. Is that the special recruitment talent? Damn, it seems like you’re better at handling magic than me… … .”

Ban Yu-won was a little surprised to see the students’ reactions.

It didn’t take much effort and the results were exactly as expected.

No, actually it seemed a little stronger than I expected.

Anyway, I didn’t think it was that great, but I was worried that the students might be overreacting.

However, Aire was looking at it as if it was trivial, and Misty and her friends in Class 1 also had relaxed expressions as if to say, ‘That’s all for now,’ so it was possible to guess that the special class was on a different level.

‘Well, I guess regular students other than those in special classes don’t need to worry about it.’

Union Academy is a place that selects and trains only the best talents from all over the world.

That’s why I thought that even if they were regular students, they couldn’t be ignored.

However, the Banyuwon is a special type of lower-dimensional character.

Despite being from a lower dimension, he is a genius who was specially selected because he has talents that are superior to those of other talents from higher dimensions.

As for his other colleagues, his level is on a whole different level from that of ordinary students.

There was a need to recognize and accept this objectively.

“Professor, then I wonder what would happen if we received support from the artifact.”

“That’s right, Professor. If it’s an artifact that awakens a wizard’s talent, its performance must be amazing. We want to see it too!”

A strange silence and uncomfortable atmosphere that came with the magical event of Banyuwon.

It was broken again by the voices of Misty and her friend.

“Artifacts are personal property and no one has the right to ask you to use them during class.”

Yumina cut off their request with a sad smile.

But she did not forget to add, however, with a kind smile.

“You know that there will be a special activity for two nights and three days starting tomorrow, right? Class 1 will be accompanying Class 11 students, so we might have a chance to test the artifact’s abilities then.”

“ah…….”

“uh.”

I just found out.

Just as Ban Yu-won was about to ask about it with his eyes wide open, Yumi-na clapped her hands and declared.

“Then shall we get into the real class now? Today is a special lecture on various magical languages! I will also give bonus points to students who answer the teacher’s questions well!”

Oh, my.

Ban Yu-won ended up laughing as he saw Yumi winking at him.

It seemed like the first class was going to be an unprecedented lecture on hospitality.

“Even in the tower, traps and devices using magical language can pop out, and depending on the magical system you’ve learned, the importance of magical language is really, really high. Just learning magical language can greatly awaken your awareness of magic, so even if your magical system is different, you should focus on the lessons!”

“yes!”

During class that day, Ban Yu-won read five magical languages that no one knew and received five extra points.

If we keep this momentum going, it wouldn’t be impossible to win the dormitory championship trophy with the highest score at the end of the year!

There’s no such thing though!

* * *

“for a moment.”

After the lecture, Ban Yu-won was about to leave the classroom when a voice stopped him.

I had a vague feeling, but when I looked back, ‘Aire’ was really standing there.

As Ban Yu-won confronted her, she felt the students who had been flocking to Yumina and asking her all sorts of questions and flattering her were looking at her with astonishment.

Among them were Misty and her friend, who had been constantly keeping an eye on Ban Yoo-won during class.

Ban Yu-won realized that her isolation was something she had wanted to do.

“You still haven’t answered the question I asked earlier.”

“I think I answered everything.”

“You analyzed and interfered with all the codes written by the president?”

“Is that so difficult?”

“I would be convinced if I had the authority to edit the space movement coordinates.”

In fact, Ban Yu-won couldn’t quite understand the difference between the two.

Somehow I got the feeling that Yumina might have set the spatial movement coordinates in the latter way.

“Student Ayre?”

“Professor Yumina.”

Before they knew it, Yumina was in front of them.

Unlike the way she glared at Ban Yu-won, Ayre bowed her head politely to Yumina.

“Do you have any business with me?”

“Not to student Ayre, but to student Ban Yu-won. Actually, I have an interview scheduled.”

“… … .”

Oh, is this person a believer too?

Ban Yu-won felt the gaze focused on him growing more and more stinging and ended up smiling vaguely.

“Besides, the students of Ban Yu-won have never been given any editing authority. That authority is only given to full professors.”

“Uh, then with my own abilities… …!”

“Is that the answer? Then I’ll see you tomorrow during the special activity period. Ban Yu-won, follow me.”

Until the moment Yumina left the classroom with Ban Yu-won, Aire’s cold gaze was fixed on his back.

Why do all pretty girls pay for their looks?

Just thinking about continuing to take classes with those guys made Ban Yu-won feel like his stomach was starting to hurt.

“I heard you edited your student ID?”

Yumina asked a question as she left the classroom and walked down the hallway.

Ban Yu-won nodded and asked worriedly.

“I think I can do it. Is it forbidden by any chance?”

“No. The student ID is just a piece of power from the tower that has been refined for the principal to handle more conveniently. As long as you don’t damage the student ID, the principal won’t care.”

“Phew.”

“It is impossible to edit the functions of a student ID card at the student level in the first place.”

“Ouch.”

Looking at the mischievous smile on Yumi’s lips, Ban Yu-won realized that he had done something wrong.

It was understandable why Aire rushed in so desperately.

“Hoohoohoo… … . From the beginning, I thought your ability would be a good fit for magic. As expected, you did something right as soon as it blossomed.”

Her speech became informal.

“Professor, no, Sister, I’m not being dragged here because of that, am I?”

“Of course not. In the first place, the principal is not the type of person with free time to call someone out for something like that.”

“… … President? Is this an interview with the president, not with your older sister?”

“huh.”

Yumina stopped walking.

Ban Yu-won, who stopped walking after her, realized that the surroundings felt very familiar.

It was right in front of the hallway leading to the secret room where I had my interview with the president on the first day of school!

“Sister, just wait a minute. Tell me why you called… … .”

“Then have a good time, Yuwon.”

As expected.

Yumina laughed bashfully again this time and pushed him away.

Ban Yu-won’s teeth chattered as he was sucked into the hallway.

I can just walk in on my own two feet!

―It seems like you’ve become quite close with Professor Yumina. Please make sure that her followers don’t find out.

“Rather than that, I think I should hide the fact that I’m having this interview with the President, no, the Master… … .”

-Good. You remember well. Please continue to call me Master.

Week 3 of the first semester of the first year.

This was my second interview with the president.
