Admission is a waste of time (52)

Lesson 12. Monster Wave – 2

As soon as they arrived at the lower dimension ‘Gelas’, what they were met with was a loud cheer.

The hospitality was beyond my imagination.

“Welcome to Union Academy, everyone who has come to Gelas!”

“We will do our best to ensure that you do not experience any inconvenience during your stay!”

“Soldiers of Imperial Tolmon, salute the Saviors!”

What is going on?

It was a truly spectacular sight to see countless soldiers lined up in the vast square, waiting for the Union Academy students, and then saluting them in unison when they arrived.

Light spoke with a blank expression next to the dumbfounded Ban Yu-won.

“Without even knowing shame… … .”

“Are you embarrassed? What?”

“… … .”

Light did not respond directly to Ban Yu-won’s question, but remained silent for a moment.

However, he couldn’t stand the gaze of Ban Yu-won staring at him, so he opened his mouth again to explain.

“You can’t solve the problems facing your dimension on your own, so you rely on beings from higher dimensions. That’s pathetic, so I said that without thinking.”

“hmm.”

“You could think about it from that perspective,” Ban Yu-won nodded.

Although it didn’t feel right to judge them by my own standards without even knowing the detailed circumstances of this dimension.

I didn’t even feel like picking on Light for that reason.

-Attention everyone.

Zenon announced again, magically amplifying his voice so that all the gathered students could hear.

―Dimension Gelas is currently fighting against a monster wave. The goal of this special activity is to completely suppress the monster wave occurring in Gelonica.

“Ohhhhhhh!”

“Thank you, thank you… … !”

It was none other than the soldiers gathered in the square who were excited and shouting at the sound of Zeno’s voice.

Some of them were sobbing and sitting down, while others were standing still, trying to salute, but just shedding tears. This clearly showed how serious the monster wave crisis that this dimension was facing was.

Since thousands or tens of thousands of people were reacting in this way, Light, who had been giving them a negative view simply because they were leaning towards the Union, also seemed to be influenced by them and his eyes turned red.

“You say it’s pathetic?”

“Poem, be quiet!”

―Then, from now on, we will move to the most intense battlefield in this dimension and have a time to watch. Everyone, please stay where you are and wait while following the instructions of the faculty and student council.

As soon as Zeno’s words fell, a giant hemispherical shield appeared, enveloping all of the thousands of Union Academy members.

Soon, countless strings of text ran across the barrier, and Ban Yu-won could see that they were magical strings that constituted space travel.

Surprisingly, Xenon activated a spell that teleported the shield and everyone inside it to the battlefield!

Light, who was sobbing along with the soldiers as he saw them crying, decided to change his target to Xenon and glared in his direction.

“Did you just say you were going to watch the battlefield?”

“Surely this large group wouldn’t go all the way to the battlefield and just watch.”

Indeed, Dokgo Yeon’s words were right.

When I approached Yumina and asked her about it, I heard that today was the day to show the students the horrors of a large-scale battlefield (more precisely, it seemed like they were trying to show the students the reality of a lower dimension) and also to show off the faculty’s power.

However, Light seemed to have become even more angry after hearing that story.

“Using people’s deaths as teaching materials. What do you think their sacrifices are… …!”

“Anyway, I came to help you. Don’t be so disgusted.”

“If only I had just a little more power… … .”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s do our best from now on.”

Ban Yu-won, who was as shocked as Light, smiled bitterly and patted him on the back, but then heard a voice calling him from behind.

“See you again, Ban Yu-won.”

“Ah, senior.”

A man who boasts a height that is at least a span taller than Ban Yu-won, who has grown to 185 centimeters thanks to his body being transformed in real time through the recent Hyunshinkong, and a huge build.

A student with a body condition that was not much different from that of an Earthling, except for his skin that was almost ashen, looked down at Ban Yu-won and spoke.

“I’m Graham, the student council secretary. I’m a third-year.”

“I remembered, Senior Graham.”

The peak of Banyuwon’s popularity started about two weeks ago when the first exploration video of the tower was uploaded.

In fact, even these days, there are cases where first-year students, or even friendly second- and third-year students, approach Ban Yu-won when they forget.

However, this senior left a strong impression on him because he was the only senior among all the students who had come to recommend that he ‘join the academy student council’.

“I see. Do you ever think about joining the student council?”

“I really appreciate the offer, but I still have a hard time controlling myself… … .”

“Well, the student council will always be waiting for your visit. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.”

Graham nodded heavily and moved away.

Ban Yu-won just smiled vaguely and saw Graham off, who seemed to think too highly of himself.

At first, I was confused and refused without knowing anything, but it turned out that the Academy Student Council was a group with quite a lot of power.

Basically, they were in charge of security at the academy and the floating island, and they also managed the academy facilities.

Even among the official events held by the academy, it is said that the student council has a lot of influence, so isn’t it understandable?

‘The most important thing is that none of the student council officers belong to the special class.’

This is because they are a group that monitors and supervises special classes to prevent them from misbehaving and to ensure that students can compete fairly.

Naturally, they were in a position where they could not help but be at odds with the Special Class, and all of its members had skills superior to those of the elites belonging to the Special Class.

Maybe that’s why the student council is trying to include him.

They would have expected that Rebellion would form an opposing structure with the Special Class.

‘Since the purpose was fair competition, it was also a group that treated lower-level special admission students with some degree of human dignity.’

However, it was truly sad that even they could not stop Ortima from using his family’s power to commit a crime this time.

After all, as a group comprised of students, it has limitations.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Huh? When did that happen… … Ah.”

As he continued to think about the Academy Student Council, Ban Yu-won heard Dokgo Yeon’s voice next to him and realized that the spatial movement had already been completed.

“Ah, ahh.”

A dumbfounded Ruchel grabbed Ban Yu-won’s sleeve.

Ban Yu-won, who turned his head to follow her gaze, soon had a similar expression on his face.

‘What, the scale of… … .’

The place they teleported to was in the air about 100 meters above the ground.

Beneath the defensive barrier that supported my feet firmly, I could see an incredibly wide plain spreading out.

No… …It would be more accurate to say that it turned into a plain.

‘If you look closely, there are traces of many buildings collapsing… … just.’

However, most of it was turned to dust and blown away by the enormous number of monsters that filled the space.

-Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

-Let’s all become one. Let’s make all the poor humans our comrades!

-Don’t give in, hold the line!

-Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!

-Kwaaaaah!

The number of monsters that densely filled the land seemed to easily exceed millions.

Of course, there were human armies opposing them, but they were so outnumbered that the defensive line they had formed looked fragile and ready to collapse at any moment.

Ban Yu-won swallowed hard and muttered as he saw the true ‘battlefield’ for the first time since birth.

“The Monster Wave… is this it? I mean, is it originally this horrible?”

“It’s much bigger than I thought… … .”

Monsters such as goblins, orcs, trolls, and ogres formed the main axis of the wave.

There were many monsters with grotesquely twisted bodies, undead monsters that moved in defiance of death, and other amorphous monsters.

In the sky, high-ranking monsters such as harpies and wyverns were flying around, and winged things were also active. Suddenly, they were startled by the sight of a group of a thousand humans appearing in the air, and they rushed at them, only to be bounced off the defensive barrier that surrounded them all.

―There are currently at least ten more battlefields of this type in Gelas.

When I was in a daze, Zeno’s voice, as always, rang in my ears.

―If you fail to deal with the dungeon in time and leave it alone, it will resonate with the natural mana and create an absurd number of new monsters. This is the monster wave, and if you don’t stop it properly, the scale of the resonance will grow bigger and bigger, and the number of monsters will increase exponentially.

The explanation continued in a comfortable voice, as if it were a field trip.

Down there, people were dying in real time right now, it was truly absurd.

―As you can see now, when the wave becomes intense, it can affect not only the natural mana, but also other objects that contain mana, or even humans. If that happens, humans will turn into monsters and join the wave.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

“Don’t make animalistic noises and calm down, Light. If you go in there alone right now, you’ll end up dead. But really… … it’s amazing.”

The battlefield was so dire that it seemed like a world on the brink of destruction.

What was especially terrifying was that humans could be transformed into monsters by the waves emitted by the monster hordes, and Ban Yu-won, with his eyes wide open, could faintly read the four characters that meant “infection wave.”

However, even to that extent, finding the cause of the mana resonance among the complex and vastly intertwined concepts was an impossible task for Ban Yu-won, who had only recently begun to handle powers.

‘Of course, I don’t think it would be easy to stop something that was done on such a massive scale… … .’

Most of the students watched the tragedy as if they were watching a pretty good movie.

I’m literally watching it.

Of course, there were students among them who were as angry and trembling as Light, but they could not come forward unless they were going to destroy that enormous number of monsters.

―Many lower dimensions are destroyed because they cannot stop the monster wave. It is also the virtue of those above to protect them from that. Please remember what you saw today.

Zeno’s soft, and at times even emotionless, voice continues.

At that time, Ban Yu-won was laughing as if he was receiving some kind of imperial education.

Zenon, who was at the front of the group, took a light step forward.

It went outside the shield.

The change was immediate.

-Shoooooooooo

In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Black rain began to fall on the battlefield.

-Kkeueek!

-Kuruk, kuhaaaa!

Ban Yu-won didn’t realize for a moment where the sound was coming from.

He soon realized that it was coming from the dark clouds covering the sky, raised his head, and then quickly lowered his head again.

It’s different from the president’s overwhelming presence that you can feel just by observing him.

This is because he intuitively felt that just observing it was a concept that would hurt Ban Yu-won himself.

“Everything… everything is melting… … .”

“Kkiing.”

Light groaned, and Ruchel clung to Banyuwon with an animalistic howl.

The black rain that began to fall on the battlefield equally melted and oxidized everything it touched.

Of course, it did not discriminate between objects or people.

The humans seemed to have been warned in advance and began to withdraw from the area of rain, but nearly 10% of those who were engaged in close combat with the monsters were unable to avoid it and were swept away by the rain, melting along with the monsters.

“and.”

“As expected of the Vice President. You erased those things in one breath.”

“I have no idea what kind of abilities you are using.”

“… … What incredible power.”

While the students were overwhelmed by Zeno’s display of force and were muttering here and there, Dokgo Yeon also muttered in admiration of his strength.

“But it’s not neat. Just like the impression I got from the author.”

“It’s cruel, isn’t it… ? Not even distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy.”

Yumina, who already knew about Zenon’s abilities, also had a slightly frowning expression.

Meanwhile, Ban Yu-won was paying attention to other areas.

‘The concept is disappearing.’

Since the beings that filled the battlefield were dead, there should have been a concept of them remaining there for a moment, but there was none.

Life does not die and the concept disappears.

The concept seems to be dead and life is disappearing.

What on earth should he do if he has to deal with that ability?

… … At least for now, I couldn’t find the answer.

-Then let’s move on to the next scene.

Zenon, who had wiped out millions of lives in a matter of minutes, spoke in a voice that was still remarkably calm.

In Ban Yu-won’s ear, who was absentmindedly staring at the string of space movement covering the defensive barrier again.

―As I said before, please don’t forget what you saw today and remember it well.

For some reason, Zeno’s voice seemed to stick clearly in my mind.
