Admission is a waste of time (54)
Lesson 12. Monster Wave – 4
The next morning.
Ban Yu-won, who had woken up before Light, finished washing up and came out, then turned his gaze towards the bed where Light was sleeping.
Light, covered with a blanket and breathing softly while sleeping, looks exactly like a princess.
It would be really cute if you could just keep your mouth shut like this.
‘But when he’s holding the Holy Sword, he looks quite masculine.’
When he was active in the tower with the holy sword, he gave off a strong impression of a handsome young swordsman, but as he trained with a spear instead of the holy sword throughout this week, he gradually became more feminine again.
While training, I occasionally experienced excruciating pain of unknown cause, but I couldn’t delve too deeply into it because the person said he was fine.
“It’s really a pain, it’s a pain.”
“Ugh… … .”
As Light tossed and turned in his sleep, Ban Yu-won jumped back in surprise, wondering if he had woken up to the sound of his voice.
But the guy would mumble words like ‘Abba Mama’ or ‘Ancestor’ and then fall back into a deep sleep.
“You have to put in some effort to hide your identity, so… … .”
Ban Yu-won looked dumbfounded, but he helped the boy toss and turn and tidied up the messy blanket before leaving the room.
The guide’s figure appeared in front of me.
“what?!”
“Whoa!”
The guide acted surprised as if he didn’t know that Ban Yu-won had appeared, but he was able to immediately realize that it was an act without even having to use his power.
Rather, it’s harder to pretend not to know that, but if it’s Ban Yoo-won, he can easily cover it up with his acting skills honed on modern Earth!
“Are you okay? Are you really surprised?”
I’m screwed!
“Oh, no. I am the one who should be sorry. I am ashamed to say that I am not proficient as a soldier… … .”
Fortunately, however, the guide did not notice Ban Yu-won’s unnatural acting and continued with his own performance.
Ban Yu-won secretly applauded the sight of the guide blushing and pretending to be weak despite having the fighting power to chew up to 100 soldiers at the same time.
Even after being treated like that by Ruchel yesterday, you still haven’t given up on your tricks!
“Oh, come to think of it, I was so out of it yesterday that I couldn’t even tell you my name. My name is Aneri Dedota. Please call me Aneri.”
“… … Yes, Aneri. Please take care of me for the rest of the time.”
When Ban Yu-won reached out his hand, Aneri smiled happily and shook his hand.
Life is around 600, physical body 350, magic power 200, and soul 80.
With her swordsmanship reaching 120, she could read the ominous green glow of the depth 50 poison on her wrist.
‘If you make direct contact, you can now read the difference to this extent.’
Since Ban Yu-won’s life is 360, it can be said that he is about 1.6 times stronger than that by simple comparison, but even so, he has already figured out all of the core abilities.
If he were to read any further, he would have to use his vertigo, which would increase the chances of being caught, so he was satisfied with this and let go.
“So what happened this morning?”
“I just wanted to say hello in the morning… … and I was wondering if you needed anything else.”
He smiles and secretly pushes his body towards me.
A signal that anyone, except the deceased, would understand.
The indomitable spirit of the challenger who tried to make the beauty world a success by any means necessary should be commemorated, but… … Unfortunately, it was a failure today as well.
“Please step back.”
“I, I just wanted to say hello in the morning… Yes?”
Aneri Dedota reflexively turns around and makes an excuse when she hears a voice from behind her.
Standing there was Dokgoyeon, wearing a luxurious silk nightgown.
Aneri looked dumbfounded at her completely unexpected appearance and intervention.
“Uh, so… … ?”
“I told you to step back.”
“Excuse me!”
When Dokgo Yeon showed a slight hint of murderous intent along with an annoyed expression, Aneri was startled, lowered her head, and ran down the hallway.
However, Ban Yu-won caught her looking back at him for a brief moment and making a bewildered expression, and he became a little depressed.
“Now inside that woman, I’m a two-timing womanizer between you and Ruchel.”
“So what if there are such trivial misunderstandings since we are going to die anyway.”
Dokgo Yeon responded with a snort as usual and turned around.
“Let’s talk for a moment. I want to review today’s operation.”
“Are you planning on going out dressed like that?”
“Who would see you on your way to the balcony right in front of you?”
If it’s just a simple conversation, we can do it in the room.
Even as he thought about that, Ban Yu-won was unable to stop Dokgo Yeon from walking briskly ahead, so he followed behind her.
-Squeak
The two pushed open the door installed at the end of the hallway and came out onto the balcony.
There were several reasons why the room given to the group was good, but the most representative one was that they were assigned almost the entire area at the end of the hallway.
Naturally, the balcony at the end of the hallway was also exclusively for them.
“Oh, the morning breeze feels quite nice.”
Dokgoyeon, leaning against the balcony railing, smiled as the wind blew against her.
Ban Yu-won watched her gown fluttering in the wind and thought it looked quite nice.
“But the wind is a bit chilly. … … I want to drink something warm. It would be even better if it was sweet.”
It’s canceled because it’s cool.
Maybe the reason she came out wearing thin clothes was to say that?
“Just be honest and say you want a hot chocolate.”

“I understand, so that’s fine. Thank you.”
She sighed in satisfaction as she accepted the mug filled with warm hot chocolate.
While Ban Yu-won was drinking his share of hot chocolate, Dokgo Yeon, who was already half-empty, spoke nonchalantly.
“What if I kill you now?”
“……you.”
There’s no need to ask who you’re killing.
Ban Yoo-won glared at her for her extremely radical remarks.
Dokgo Yeon doesn’t avoid his gaze and just faces him quietly.
Of course, it was Ban Yu-won who lost the snowball fight.
He turned his head away from her gaze and replied.
“It’s different from our plan. No.”
“Tsk, I thought you’d give me the answer I wanted.”
Dokgo Yeon clicked his tongue at the words that came out with a sigh.
Only then did Ban Yu-won understand why he had been dragged to the balcony.
“You dragged me here because you didn’t want to tell Light and Ruchel?”
“Because the beast will take your side, and the light will obviously be disgusted and oppose you.”
Ban Yu-won replied, massaging his throbbing forehead with one hand.
“I agree with you wanting to do something about Ortima, but it can’t be done.”
“Even though he’s trying to kill us?”
“It’s the same though. If you just find a weak point, it’s fine, but if you kill them, things get too big.”
Ban Yu-won bit his lip as he recalled the Ortima family’s immense power, controlling the Academy’s events just to capture a few students.
I couldn’t even imagine how big the repercussions would be if Lucien Ortima died here.
“At least not here now. You know how to do this, right?”
“I have never spared anyone who held a knife to my neck.”
Dokgo Yeon said in a voice that did not waver.
“I made many enemies along the way, but in the end, I’m still here, alive. And I will be again this time.”
“… … .”
It was too creepy a thing for her, who had barely become an adult, to say.
Ban Yu-won can’t even imagine the chaos she must have been through so far, so for now, he just stays silent.
“… … But this isn’t just my problem.”
Dokgo Yeon continued speaking.
“I trust your judgment and will yield just this once.”
I’ll just endure it this one time.
Dokgo Yeon said that calmly and emptied his glass.
“I’m not forgetting. I’m just postponing it. When I finally destroy those insolent bastards, you’ll have to be by my side.”
“You were setting the tone to say that from the beginning.”
“I got caught.”
He said that so naturally and without blinking an eye, and handed me his glass for another hot chocolate. Honestly, I wanted to punch him in the face if only I could be sure that he wouldn’t get hit.
Dokgoyeon, who had her glass refilled, smiled slightly and said.
“But I’m also sincere. I wanted to let you know that my patience is not taken for granted. I wanted to share this humiliation, this anger… … that I feel right now.”
“It seems like they’re just trying to put chains on me… … .”
Dokgo Yeon made a surprised expression.
Unlike Anneli Dedota, her performance was worthy of an Academy Award for Best Actress.
“To think they even found out about that.”
Is it really not possible to just hit it once?
This won’t work, I’ll die…
Ban Yu-won suppressed his temper and drank his hot chocolate.
It was so hot I thought the roof of my mouth was going to burn.
* * *
After a brief break following the splendid morning banquet like yesterday, the Academy students gathered in the plaza, divided by class.
As previously announced, classes 1 and 11 were to form one class, and with two of the nine full professors in charge of one class, the amount of attention pouring in from all over the place was no joke.
Cantone spoke to Yumina with a satisfied smile on his lips, enjoying the gaze.
“Professor Yumina, I’d like to control the students today. Is that okay?”
“If the autonomy of our Class 11 students is guaranteed, then of course.”
Cantone’s mouth corners were seen stiffening at Yumina’s response that left no room for argument.
However, the gaze of the two most promising prospects in Class 1 was too harsh to pay attention to the fight between the two.
“Hmm? Even if the crown prince is like that, when did you seduce that woman, Ban Yu-won?”
“I expected you to say that, but no.”
When Dokgo Yeon felt Ayre’s gaze and asked with a puzzled expression, Ban Yu-won answered with a bitter smile.
“It’s not me. It’s the kid who has a crush on Professor Yumina.”
“Then… … It seems that our professor Palbulchul was caught favoring you without any notice by that woman.”
“It’s too much to say you can’t sell your arms, Dokgoyeon.”
Yumina, who had just finished talking with Cantone, smiled mischievously and refuted Dokgoyeon.
“I treat everyone equally. It’s all a misunderstanding. To Dokgoyeon, who feels like I don’t show enough affection, I’m giving her this pretty flower decoration… … .”
“sorry.”
Dokgo Yeon apologized earnestly with a serious expression.
Looking at that sight, Ban Yu-won hoped that Aire’s jealousy might spread to Dokgo Yeon as well, but her gaze was still focused only on Ban Yu-won.
‘Surely you aren’t going to go all the way to Aire with Ortima, trying to kill me?’
Ban Yu-won looks back with a sigh.
There were guides there who had faithfully accompanied them to the site they were visiting that day.
Since Class 1 is a special class, each student is assigned a dedicated guide, and a large group of 70 people were created, including 11 students in Class 1, two full professors, and guides.
I had clearly heard that the Academy students would be directly facing the monsters on the battlefield today, so I couldn’t figure out why they were bringing guides with them.
“I will make sure that you have a comfortable day today, Ban Yu-won.”
Aneri Dedota noticed Ban Yu-won’s gaze and greeted him with a bright smile as if she had forgotten what had happened that morning.
Ruchel had a cold expression and Dokgoyeon laughed in vain.
Meanwhile, the male guide accompanying Ruchel and Dokgoyeon is glaring at Ban Yu-won, as if he is blaming him for not getting any attention from the two women.
If this isn’t a total mess, what else can you call it?
“Everyone, we’re going to leave right away. This is your first real-life experience with Class 1, so I hope you’ll show us your bravery!”
Yumina spoke in a lively voice, as if she had no interest in the fierce war of nerves going on underwater.
But Ban Yu-won sensed a hint of irritation in her voice.
Could it be that Cantone was provoking her by discussing each student’s individual abilities?
―We are starting the spatial movement of Class 1 and Class 11 of Grade 1. I hope that it will be a worthwhile special activity.
Soon, the teleportation magic was activated, transporting all of them to the scene of their class’ activities… … i.e. the battlefield.
Yesterday, Ban Yu-won was unknowingly tense as he had only been wandering around large-scale battlefields where clashes of millions of people took place, but the place he arrived at after teleporting was a city that looked ordinary at first glance.
The story goes that if it weren’t for the shouts and explosions heard everywhere, it would have seemed ordinary.
“Oh, you came! Loyalty!”
The battlefield commander ran up and saluted the two professors.
News of their arrival spread instantly throughout the battlefield.
“Reinforcements from Union Academy have arrived!”
“Everyone, stand ready! Union Academy reinforcements are here!”
“I survived… … !”
Although the scale is small, this is also the site of a life-threatening battle.
Ban Yu-won found it ironic that the students, who still looked like they were on a picnic, were fighting in place of those soldiers.
“so…….”
Cantone spoke with a strong air of aura, appealing to the commander for his presence.
“What is the battle situation? Who are the main forces of the enemy?”
“Yesterday, large-scale suppression took place in all major battlefields, and the enemy’s remaining forces are seen being dispersed to several battlefields. We are defending with a thousand soldiers, but honestly, it is difficult to maintain the status quo. The enemy’s main force is shadow weasels who are good at urban warfare… … .”
The man who appeared to be the battalion commander began to explain earnestly to Cantone’s cold voice.
Cantone waved his hand instead of listening to the explanation.
“Shadow Weasel? I didn’t hear anything. From now on, all students will stand at the point I designate and fight. So that we can clearly show these fools the power of a climber who can climb the tower!”
After making such an arrogant declaration, he started picking up students one by one and sending them to different points as if he was moving chess pieces.
It was a moment when the meaning of class activities became meaningless.
“Dokgoyeon, you go to the rooftop of the building with the orange sign. Aslight, Ruchel, Banyuwon, you each guard one of the buildings next to it.”
“… … .”
The entire 11th class was assigned a point far from the center of the battlefield.
Ban Yu-won was rather convinced that Cantone had an accurate grasp of Class 11’s abilities.
Knowing their outstanding abilities, isn’t it more likely that they are given worthless roles that prevent them from performing well?
Yumina, who noticed this, asked Cantone in a ridiculous tone.
“Professor Cantone? Don’t you think your judgment is a little different from the goals of the special activities that Union Academy pursues?”
“The goal of this class activity is to have students experience the battlefield in real life and to confirm each individual’s abilities and potential. I just thought of a good way to utilize each student’s abilities and achieve the goal of the battle.”
Moreover, Cantone continued with a smile on his face.
“Isn’t it the saying, ‘right time, right place, right time?’ Professor Yumi even took special care to make sure that her beloved students wouldn’t end up in a dangerous situation, so I think she deserves my gratitude.”
“under.”
Yumina snorted once, then turned around and approached the group.
“Okay, everyone.”
His face was calm, as if he had never had any conversation with Cantone.
Isn’t this the true state of ignorance?
“As you climb the tower, you will sometimes have to fight in an environment like this. In the process of carrying out quests according to the will of the tower, there will be times when you will have to protect the weak, like you are doing now, so I hope you will be especially careful about that part.”
What do you have to guard on the tower?
Before Ban Yu-won could ask a question, Yumi-na clapped her hands and said.
“Then, let’s head to the designated point and fight! I’ll be watching you from nearby, so don’t worry… … Student Ban Yu-won.”
Yumina gritted her teeth and demanded in a voice small enough for only him to hear.
“Shoot a big one in front. Just like I taught you yesterday.”
“I know what you want.”
Why did Yumi give special instructions only to Ban Yuwon?
This is because, unlike the three party members who are classified as close combatants, Ban Yu-won has a reliable ranged attack method.
It is also a very large and beautiful means of attack.
Ban Yu-won took out a long red staff from his inventory and held it, smiling brightly.
“I’ll just blow up a volcano.”
