Admission is a Waste of Time Chapter 55

Admission is a waste of time (55)

Lesson 12. Monster Wave – 5

To talk about volcanoes, we have to go back in time a little.

The day before yesterday, Thursday, after Ban Yu-won declared the Rebellion Assembly.

Everyone gathered together, set a rough course of action, distributed all the supplies, and were about to go back to the dormitory to sleep when Yumina grabbed Ban Yuwon and said this.

“From now on, Ban Yu-won students will have special classes with me.”

“Special class… … ?”

The ears of the rest of the group perked up as they were about to leave.

“T, that can’t be. There are already two of them… … .”

“Krrrrrr!”

In particular, Light and Ruchel’s reactions were truly intense.

Who would say I’m going through puberty?

Yumi continued speaking while Ban Yuwon, who had noticed what they were thinking, glared at them.

“I feel like today’s class alone wasn’t helpful to the students in the special activity class. I’m going to teach them various magic spells that they can use in their special activities.”

“Ah, magic.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“Caeng, it’s suspicious… … .”

Light and Dokgoyeon, who realized that it wasn’t what they had imagined, quickly withdrew, and Ruchel held on with a suspicious expression until the end, but was chased away by Yumina.

When the two were left alone in the doorless classroom, Yumina opened her mouth and said, “Okay.”

“They say magic can be broadly divided into two types. What are they?”

“Well… … Unique magic and regular magic?”

“Not a bad answer.”

The answer was no.

While Ban Yu-won was thinking, Yumi spread out both of her hands.

A magic circle composed of countless magic letters appeared above his left hand, and a small fireball rose above his right hand.

“The correct answer is this: reason and emotion.”

“Huh.”

It was an answer I had not expected at all.

She wiped out the flames floating in her right hand, made the magic circle in her left hand float in the air, and began her explanation, saying, “First, let’s start with reason.”

“There are those who claim that magic is the study of reason. It is a complex system of magic that has developed on multiple levels over thousands or tens of thousands of years… … Only by gradually learning and studying it and eventually establishing your own theories can you create a spell that cannot be interpreted by others and unleash powerful and mysterious magic.”

The magic circle that had emerged split apart, and increasingly complex magical language was engraved within it.

Ban Yu-won narrowed his eyes as he saw the overlapping magic circles that had transformed into a single sphere in the blink of an eye—and the magic strings that were perfectly intertwined within them.

There was so much information that I felt like my head was going to burst, but I was still ecstatic.

[You have completely interpreted and accepted the magical language that constitutes the advanced magical formula. Your soul depth has reached 525.]

[The depth of the reading has become 170.]

The moment when I finally understood what that magic was.

The depth of the soul and the depth of the reading have each increased by 5.

Since it was enough to bring about such a change with just one look, I could dare to guess how great the magic that Yumina had just unleashed was.

Yumina, who saw his eyes sparkling, asked in surprise.

“Are you sure you interpreted this spell?”

“Isn’t that a fire explosion spell?”

“That’s right… … . Now it’s funny that you said it wouldn’t be interpreted by others.”

Yumina, who was dumbfounded, made a blank expression, then nodded her head as if she understood and muttered.

“Well, I guess that’s the extent of it, so you can arbitrarily change the spatial movement coordinates on your student ID card.”

“Oh, I couldn’t interpret it right away either. Normally, you can understand it as soon as you see it, but the structure is so complicated.”

Yumina giggled at Ban Yu-won’s blatant shield.

“It’s okay. It’s a pleasure for a master to see his disciple’s abilities excel. Ahem, anyway, I guess I should actually show him the completed magic, right?”

Just then, Yumina snapped her fingers briskly.

The next moment, they were no longer in a classroom without doors, but in a wide meadow.

“What is this all of a sudden?”

“I teleported outside the academy to show you how to use magic. This is a field dungeon.”

Is this a dungeon? When Ban Yu-won heard that, he looked around and indeed, he could feel the presence of monsters everywhere.

Ban Yu-won, who had only experienced cave-type dungeons so far, was surprised to realize that there were various types of dungeons outside the tower.

“Okay, then take a good look.”

Yumina suddenly released the magic circle.

The magic circle that surrounded the outside of the sphere like a curtain expanded greatly, spraying golden strings, and covered the entire dungeon with some kind of curtain.

The magic circle melted away one by one, as if peeling off an onion layer, creating new rules that interfered with this space one after another.

-Goooooooo

Ban Yu-won could see a group of monsters rushing towards them… no, being dragged towards them.

“I can now see why reason governs magic.”

“yes?”

The activation of the magic circle accelerated more and more.

A spell that determines the area where magic is activated.

A spell that guides a target by designating it as a magical target.

A spell that enhances the power of magic.

A spell that further strengthens the power of fire.

In addition, countless laws were unleashed throughout the dungeon, changing the very quality of magic in the air.

Ban Yu-won felt his body become heavy as if he was submerged in water and opened his mouth with difficulty.

“… … This is real magic.”

“To be precise, it is magic as a discipline of reason.”

Before I knew it, all the monsters that had been making up the dungeon were tied to the floor and rolling around, unable to move.

And at that moment, when the core of the magic circle that was left until the very end oxidized with a brilliant light, everyone was set ablaze.

Perhaps even the magic core that makes up the dungeon.

Could we really stop such a large-scale, large-scale magic by interpreting it in advance? Ban Yu-won thought with a hollow laugh.

“Did you see it well?”

“yes…….”

“Then let’s move on to the next one.”

Just then—she snapped her fingers again, and this time she found herself in a similarly shaped dungeon to before.

“This time it’s time to learn the magic of emotion.”

A small flame had risen above her right hand, but all Ban Yu-won could read from it was a deep, hot flame.

“Is this the elemental magic I handle?”

“Yeah, you know without me saying anything. Then watch carefully? Eight!”

Without the hassle of layering up magical spells to interfere with the world, Yumina simply threw sparks into the air.

Then it swelled up greatly and split, filling the dungeon.

After the big, splendid fire burned, nothing remained.

Ban Yu-won was so overwhelmed that he could only watch it quietly.

– Exactly!

Yumina snapped her fingers again.

The two returned to the doorless classroom.

“What did you see?”

“I did see something.”

Ban Yu-won said that and thought about it for a moment.

I was able to read concepts like fire, amplification, and induction within the greatly swelling flames.

But if you ask me if I felt any sense of law in it, there wasn’t any at all.

Nevertheless, the magic was perfectly manifested, and it destroyed the enemies faster, more massively, and more reliably than the magic manifested in the magic circle.

“But… … I can’t explain that.”

“That is the magic that is governed by emotions. It is not theoretical and difficult to acquire and master, but it is equally difficult to read and its effects are also powerful. In fact, the mana efficiency is also a bit higher.”

“That’s the magic you learned,” Yumina added.

“I can’t create such a spark.”

“Anything is possible as long as you have the magic and imagination to back it up. The important thing is to come up with a solid image.”

“image…….”

“What you showed us in class today was also really amazing. You were able to build an image in an instant and complete the perfect magic. You just need to improve it a little more.”

Ban Yu-won thought about how he used elemental magic in class.

At that time, I was definitely thinking of air and the shape of a vortex.

That is, while he was using magic, he unconsciously expressed it based on language, which was the basis of his ability… …!

Ban Yu-won felt as if his eyes were suddenly brightening.

‘Language can also become images.’

And the converse is also quite true.

For Ban Yu-won, who understood and accepted all phenomena through language, the distinction between language and images was no longer necessary.

Furthermore, perhaps, in the end, there might not even be a need to distinguish between reason and emotion.

‘Come to think of it, there was something good going on.’

Ban Yu-won took out the code core that had been quietly sleeping in his inventory.

[Volcano 14]

The concept that I had acquired through a completely unexpected opportunity was shining brightly within it.

* * *

[Elemental Magic 90]

Ban Yu-won smiled as he saw the concept of elemental magic that surpassed even the depth of swordsmanship.

The enlightenment he gained that day thanks to Yumina would have a great impact not only on his magic but also on how to handle and develop his language skills.

-Are you fighting now?

‘Okay. Let’s go for the big one.’

―You’re just pretending to be confident when you’ve only just started learning the basics.

‘That’s why you have to help me.’

The ego of the so-called great magician who resided in the staff, Selon’s voice rang in Ban Yu-won’s mind.

Ban Yu-won held the staff with both hands and moved to the building he was assigned to.

He was followed by his guide, Aneri Dedota.

There is also Light, but I chose him anyway.

‘Are you trying to stab me in the back here?’

Aneri, who had come close enough to feel his breath, asked Ban Yu-won, who was looking back warily with his eyes narrowed.

“I see you’re holding a staff. Are you trying to use magic? Did you have magical abilities to begin with?”

“I recently got into magic.”

“Wow… … !”

Aneri clapped her hands with an exaggerated expression.

The distance is too close.

Ban Yu-won said, keeping a little distance from her, thinking that she might risk suicide and stab him in the back with a knife.

“But why are you following me?”

“It seems like you’re trying to use magic, so I’ll protect you from monsters coming near you!”

No, I don’t like it because I feel like you’re going to stab me right now.

Ban Yu-won tried hard not to show any sign of displeasure as he landed on the roof of the building.

The point he had to guard was a four-story building, and on the ground were soldiers holding out with shields and spears, and on the windows and rooftops, there were a few soldiers holding bows and aiming forward.

Although it wasn’t as large a battlefield as the one I saw yesterday, it was no different in that I was fighting monsters in numbers far greater than humans.

“Huh!”

“Loyalty!”

“Oh, don’t worry about me.”

The soldiers who noticed that Ban Yu-won had landed tried to approach him, but he waved them away.

Anyway, the areas assigned to Rebellion members aren’t that important. This means that there’s not much chance of them being breached.

It was at a level where you just had to keep your eyes open and not bother the soldiers.

“Of course I didn’t come here to do that.”

“What are you trying to show me… … !”

“I need to focus from now on, so could you move away for a bit?”

“yes!”

Ban Yu-won took out the ego-embedded camera, Ticket, from his inventory.

I filmed a lot of scenes of myself and the members being active, and I was planning to edit the highlight scenes later and upload them when I returned to the Academy after the special activities were over.

‘At the angle where the magic can be captured as beautifully as possible… … .’

While I was thinking about that and setting up the recording, Aneri Dedota came closer again and spoke with sparkling eyes.

“Are you filming? If it were a normal machine, it would break down right away… …!”

“Because it was specially made.”

“Isn’t this a unique technique that no one else at Union Academy can replicate? That’s amazing!”

Ban Yu-won inwardly snorted at her exaggerated admiration.

Are you saying that you tried to steal the production technique of this camera by using some clumsy beauty trick?

Even if you tell me honestly, Ortima won’t be able to actually create the artifact anyway.

Moreover, this woman just casually made a comment that seemed to know the internal affairs of the Academy.

Are you stupid or are you just making fun of the anti-Japanese sentiment?

But I don’t know. I’ll be able to sort her out soon anyway.

He once again pushed away the annoying Aneri and lifted the staff.

‘Let’s get started now.’

-You’re late! How long are you keeping me waiting?

‘We just prepared to film our performance as best as possible.’

―… … If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I can do. Alright, whatever magic it is, just manifest it properly. I’ll help you perfectly!

As expected, it’s easy.

He chuckled and focused his energy on the staff’s heads and core.

The foundation of magic expressed through emotion is firmly recognized thanks to Yumina.

The elements we want to deal with are fire and earth.

The form is a volcano where magma explodes.

The starting point of magic is naturally the Earth, beyond the city where the shadow weasels swarm.

The scale is as large as Ban Yu-won and Selon’s magical power allows!

‘The image is clear. The concept of a volcano has been completely captured by elemental magic.’

A smile appeared on Ban Yu-won’s lips.

In line with his magical chanting, Celon was also amplifying the magical power contained in his core by weaving it into his magic. He did not call himself a great magician for nothing; indeed, the degree of amplification was enormous.

-Woooooooooo

“What, what is it?”

“Magic… … You’re using magic!”

“half……!”

Did he notice the tremendous magical power gathering in the area?

Not only the soldiers, but also the Rebellion members who had climbed up on top of the nearby building, Yumina who was watching them from behind, and even the students of Class 1 who were far away were all looking back at Ban Yu-won.

That would be the case. Thanks to the artifact, the magical power he was handling right now was definitely not something a first-year academy student could handle!

however.

-Huh? Are you interrupting me?

‘disturbance?’

– Over there. One of them is weaving a counter-spell that interferes with our magic structure. Ice Magic?

When I turned my gaze, the person I saw there was none other than Class 1’s Untouchable Princess, Aire.

A figure holding a round magic ball in his arms, looking straight at Ban Yu-won, and reciting a spell.

Anyone who saw him would think he was trying to kill him.

The magical power response from her was cleverly, but surely, mixed into the magical power that Ban Yu-won was creating.

‘Do you really think that I won’t notice it?’

―They are trying to dispel our magic and take away its power to strengthen their own magic. If they succeed, it will be justified.

‘hmm…….’

-So I’m going to do the opposite.

Selon declared.

– Let’s complete the magic by stealing that girl’s magic power. You just focus on the magic. I’ll take care of the magic disruption.

‘Oh, I feel like a great wizard just now.’

-I told you, you’re a great wizard!

Ban Yu-won believed in Celon and continued to cast magic.

Even if you call it a spell, it only focuses your dizziness by bringing to mind the image of a volcano, but it was clear that the magic would become stronger and more powerful as the image became more solid, so the expression spell was no different.

– It worked… … You can manifest it now!

“Volcano!”

The moment Celon’s words fell, Ban Yu-won released the magical power gathered in his staff.

Aire’s magic tried to cleverly intertwine his magic and destroy it, but it was impossible to interfere with Ban Yu-won’s solid image.

Because of Celon’s manipulation, the magical power structure collapsed and was absorbed by Ban Yu-won’s magic.

The pleasure of that moment was indescribable.

– You’re using the interference technique that she used against me. Trying to defeat me with delicate use of magic power is hundreds of years too early!

‘I don’t know what that is.’

The moment when a huge, very huge magical force lands spectacularly on its target.

-Kwaaaaaaaang!

The entire land where tens of thousands of monsters had gathered was turned upside down, causing a huge explosion that caused magma to spurt out!

“Look at that awesome magic!”
