Admission is a waste of time (65)
Lesson 14. Level Force – 3
On the morning of the third day, when Ban Yu-won went outside to feel the morning breeze, Aneri was floating in the air in a similar manner as yesterday.
It was an outfit that was even more revealing than yesterday.
“There’s no need to do this anymore.”
“Huh? No, I just came here to pounce when I got the chance.”
Ban Yu-won smiled brightly at Aneri’s natural answer, then knocked on the door of the next room and threw Aneri at Ruchel, who opened the door.
“You want me to sort things out! Understood, Master!”
“Master? You just said master… … Kkaaaak!”
After unpacking, I went to the balcony to relax.
Yumina was there.
“Uh, Professor… … Sister.”
“Did you sleep well?”
The 500-year-old girl, who only wanted to hear him call her older sister when she was alone with Ban Yu-won, smiled brightly and greeted him in the morning.
“Yesterday was really great.”
“You’re the one. You fought the fleet alone.”
“What about the fleet?”
Yumina shook her head with a bitter smile.
“Exodus’s power is not that great. Their actions yesterday were nothing more than a simple show of force. They wanted to carry out the demands of the Ortima family while also showing that Exodus is not afraid of the Academy.”
“That was a demonstration of force.”
It was truly absurd to think of the scale of the fleet that had appeared, tearing through the dimension.
But Yumina’s expression was quite serious.
“It was obvious that they were prepared to lose everything except the flagship, and that they had deliberately released a small amount of force. It was a typical delay-dealing tactic. … … That’s why I destroyed them all.”
As expected, this older sister is scary.
Ban Yu-won shivered as he recalled the thorny vines that she had created in the air, tens of kilometers long and hundreds of meters thick.
Perhaps she is one of the most powerful professors at the Academy… … .
“Even if they came prepared to lose, it is true that they suffered great losses. No matter what Exodus intended, any force friendly to the Academy will continue to push Exodus even harder.”
Judging from the ominous glint in Yumina’s jewel eyes, it seemed that she was determined to feed Exodus everything she couldn’t feed the Ortima family.
Exodus. Ban Yu-won thought about them again.
Even if the Ortima family had made a proposal, they would have accepted it because they also had hostility towards Ban Yu-won.
The problem must have been the video of Ban Yu-won killing the invaders from Exodus that he uploaded to the Rebellion channel.
‘If you think about it the other way around, it could also be said that Exodus suffered great humiliation because of that video.’
If it had spread only a little bit to the highest dimension, Union, I might not have thought much about it.
But thanks to Aneri, I found out that humans from all dimensions can see this.
Exodus was truly a total embarrassment.
“But even the deal between Exodus and the Ortima family was a mess.”
Yumina explained that from the beginning, there was a high possibility that this deal was forced through by Lucien Ortima, who had pressured the elders of the family.
A deal where if you succeed, your enemies will only increase, and if you fail, your position will become even narrower.
The risk was already high, but it failed in the worst way, so the Academy was already weak, and their relationship with Exodus became the worst.
“Well, with Lucien Ortima coming back like that, I guess I can’t be on friendly terms with Exodus.”
“In that sense, I said it was great. Student Dokgo Yeon too… … Yeah, the method was a bit extreme, but I can’t blame you. It was just the right level of warning to Ortima.”
Ortima’s right arm, cut off by Dokgo Yeon, also severed the relationship between the Ortima family and Exodus.
Of course, the one who actually cut it was Dokgo Yeon, but since he can no longer do anything at the academy, the only person left for the Ortima family to hate is Exodus.
“What on earth were they thinking when they did such a reckless thing?”
“I didn’t take your abilities into account. Do you really think that the freshmen who just entered the academy would be able to safely escape from a dungeon that the constellations themselves created and controlled?”
Certainly, the dungeon’s maze would have been difficult to break through unless you were a half-human (I heard that the other two groups had also forced their way through using force), and the giant monsters would have been difficult to deal with if not for Ruchel’s wildness.
Moreover, the constellation that controlled the dungeon was hostile to them, so it was a miracle that they were able to escape the dungeon safely without anyone being harmed.
“In the end, I was just a supporting actor.”
“Next time, I’ll be the lead. I’m getting more and more attention.”
What Yumina pointed to while saying those words was her own mirror.
To be exact, it was the banner of the Rebellion channel, which had 30 million subscribers as of this morning.
The most viewed video of all time was, as expected, the video of them first entering the top.
“You must have realized it after meeting Aneri, but in another dimension, you are the representatives of Union Academy. You may not realize it yet, but… … Academy students visit many dimensions before they graduate.”
“Are you talking about special activities?”
“Yeah. This special activity is just like pre-training. You guys didn’t do anything, did you?”
Since he had actually done nothing, Ban Yu-won could only nod his head.
As expected, it’s a math trip.
“But when you start doing full-scale special activities, you will realize that there are many dimensions that require the help of the strong. This curriculum is also designed to help you realize that.”
“Are you trying to cultivate altruistic mindset in students?”
“That’s not possible. As one’s power grows, one stops looking at one’s feet. However, the many beings beneath your feet will look up to you.”
That’s what’s important, Yumina emphasized.
“That’s how you imprint your presence on multiple dimensions. It’s the process of becoming a god. That will also help you climb the tower.”
By the time they reach their 5th year, which is the graduating year, each student already has a certain level of fame, and especially students who are looked up to by many people are treated as so-called named students.
“I never even thought about it. … … Huh?”
It was a very interesting story, but there was something in the middle that bothered me.
Ban Yu-won asked with narrowed eyes.
“Didn’t you say a little while ago that we were becoming famous in another dimension?”
“Do you understand what I mean now?”

Yumina laughed heartily and poked Ban Yuwon on the cheek.
“You… … you’ve gained the recognition that other students have worked so hard to build up through various extracurricular activities in one fell swoop. So how can others not get excited?”
Ban Yu-won thought as he pricked his cheek with Yumi’s finger.
Ban Yu-won now knows the real reason why the students paid so much attention to him.
It was not just a problem within the school, but was also closely related to the goals of the academy.
I felt more bewildered than happy that something I started without thinking had grown into this big thing.
“It’s hard to believe that all this started with one camera.”
“Are you still thinking like that?”
“So cute,” Yumina was heard muttering.
… … What? Could there be something else?
Ban Yu-won frowned and gave her a questioning look.
But Yumina left him without saying anything more.
Morning was slowly approaching.
“I’m sorry, I can’t join you for the group activity today. I have some issues that I need to take care of from yesterday.”
“It’s just free time anyway. We can just wander around by ourselves. Even though it’s not pretty, there’s Aneri too.”
“I’m so sad that I can’t play with you, but Yuwon, you’re not like that?”
Here is the unexpected trap problem!
Ban Yu-won had to act cute for about five minutes to please his older sister, who was 480 years older than him.
… … I remembered playing with my older sister when I was little and I missed home just a little.
* * *
After breakfast, the group finally had some free time.
A group activity time where you travel around the capital of the Tolmon Empire with people in the same group (usually a group made up of people who enter the tower together).
“The capital is really so big.”
“Yuwon, I want to eat that.”
“Mr. Ruchel, don’t call me master now—it’s nothing! There’s a street vendor selling fried snacks just one block away, let’s go there!”
Unfortunately, Aneri’s rank seems to have been confirmed below Ruchel.
However, she seemed to have properly prepared for this mercenary mission, as she skillfully guided the group around the capital.
At least Dokgoyeon seemed satisfied with her guidance.
“Oh my, the sweetness of this dimension is also quite good.”
“How do you know so much when you’re not even a local?”
“For dimensional mercenaries like us who travel around many worlds, the most important thing is to find out information about the place we are dispatched to. It goes without saying that we do this in order to avoid being discovered by the locals.”
At first, I thought she was a woman sent by Ortima to recruit a beauty queen, but the gap between her image and her actual abilities was too big.
Aneri noticed the gaze that contained such thoughts of a half-witness and sent him another secret signal, but her finger was broken by Ruchel.
“Ugh, we’re in the same situation anyway… … Ughhhh!”
“He’s a funny guy.”
The voice came from the far left of the group, next to Light.
When I turned my head, I saw that Aire had naturally followed them.
Ban Yu-won asked, trying not to show his sadness as he felt a pang in his heart, wondering if the light could really be that good.
“Why are you here?”
“I’m a single person. I’m free to go anywhere by myself.”
And then an answer popped out that no one expected.
As expected, Light reacted greatly to this.
“If you’re a one-man team, you can’t possibly climb the tower by yourself?!”
“I heard that I am the only one among the freshmen this year.”
Everyone was astonished at the sight of Aire speaking calmly, without bragging.
Ban Yu-won couldn’t help but recall the president’s words when he saw his achievements and said he would allow him to go on an independent expedition.
Light’s reaction was beyond words.
“I said it was only allowed in really special cases… … .”
“… … It’s nothing special. Up until now, it was just the most efficient.”
Efficiency… … Ban Yu-won smiled bitterly.
Even in the Special Class, a group of top students, Aire was isolated.
She had no reason to become friendly with them.
The director must have given her the authority to explore alone, as he thought it would be more efficient for her to climb the tower alone rather than forming a group.
“I guess so.”
“hmm?”
I thought Dokgo Yeon might be jealous of the solo exploration authority that Aire received, but surprisingly, she accepted it calmly.
No, it even looked like he was smiling.
Dokgoyeon sensed his curiosity and sent him a message.
– Think about what this woman suggested yesterday.
―You said you wanted to join Class 11? Did that mean you wanted to climb the tower together?
-Maybe so. So how could it not be funny?
“I see you now,” Dokgoyeon said, nodding to Aire.
The sight of her looking straight at him with her transparent silver eyes and asking him a favor!
“That’s why I want to go out with you.”
“Ugh… … .”
Ban Yu-won seemed to have tears streaming down his face.
Light feels humiliated by Aire, who had been granted the right to explore alone since entering school, something he never obtained.
But Aire doesn’t know his feelings and just wants to enjoy her free time with him.
Isn’t it truly heartbreaking to see two people’s hearts crossing each other?
“How merciless! Oh Buddha, are you sleeping… …!”
“Ban Yu-won, stop talking nonsense and open your wallet. They’re selling some pretty good looking sweets over there.”
“Ah, Yuwon. I want to eat something a little salty next time.”
“… … .”
The two women seem determined to continue filming the mukbang regardless of whether Aire joins or not, or whether Light is in agony or not.
Ban Yu-won sighed and nodded after checking the camera that was following them and filming them – Tike.
“The reaction to my mukbang videos has always been good, so there’s no problem… … Aire? Is it okay for you to appear in the video too?”
“It doesn’t matter. … … Rather, do it that way.”
Aire declared as she had yesterday, her silver eyes sparkling.
“Someday, I want to go to Class 11… … and join Rebellion.”
The moment when Dokgo Yeon’s thoughts coincided perfectly.
But then Light ended up doing it anyway.
“If you have sole investigative authority, you can do it on your own like you have been doing so far.”
“Light, you―”
Ban Yu-won was startled and was about to say something, but Aire shook her head first and spoke.
“Through this special activity, I realized my shortcomings a lot. … … Maybe what I need is you guys.”
I can’t say it clearly, but I use such an ambiguous expression… … But why is he looking at Ban Yoo-won while saying that?
Did you perhaps figure out that the leader of this group is Ban Yu-won and expect him to make the decision?
In fact, Ban Yu-won’s heart was set from the moment she first appeared.
“As Professor Yumina said, it may be difficult to accept you in Class 11, but what if we could just film videos together like this every now and then?”
Aire’s abilities and personality are beyond words, and her beauty, contrasting with Dokgo Yeon’s, is even mysterious.
Of course, it would attract more attention… … After hearing about ‘Named’ from Yumina this morning, I knew that it would be helpful to Aire herself, so there was no reason to refuse.
Crucially, now that Dokgo Yeon has cut off Ortima’s arm, wouldn’t it be good to have at least one more ally within the Academy?
If it’s a powerful talent like Aire, then there’s no need to think about it further.
“That’s enough for today. We’ll talk about the exploration later.”
Aire nodded.
Who on earth made her act so aggressively!
“Ban, why are you looking at me with such hazy eyes? … … What, what is it? If you have something to say, then say it.”
“No, it’s nothing.”
The group, with the addition of special guest Aire from Rebellion, survived the damage from the monster wave and enjoyed sightseeing while roaming around the restored capital.
The capital of the Tolmon Empire, which had successfully withstood the monster wave with the help of the Union Academy and was even being rebuilt quickly, was filled with a strange vitality.
This video, which captures the capital city and the Rebellion members enjoying the tour, gained explosive views as soon as it was uploaded, increasing the number of subscribers to the Rebellion channel to 50 million.
Ban Yu-won now felt like he had a little idea what the people watching the Rebellion Channel wanted.
