Admission is a waste of time (66)
Lesson 14. Level Force – 4
We had fun playing and eating happily.
When the time came, Ban Yu-won and his group returned to the square where they were meeting, decided to turn off Tike’s shooting mode and take a rest.
While students were chatting away energetically everywhere, only Class 1-1 of the first year was in a gloomy mood. This was probably because their leader, Ortima, had returned home to receive treatment.
“Aire, aren’t you going?”
“Anyway, we’re returning together with Class 1 and Class 11.”
If there was anyone in Class 1 who could replace Ortima right now, it would be Aire, who had just as much charm and charisma as Ortima, and skills that surpassed hers. However, she was actually with the Rebellion members who were the ones who hurt Ortima.
Ortima got hurt while trying to save Class 11, and now even Aire got taken away by Class 11!
It seemed like most of the students in Class 1 were seriously thinking about this ridiculous idea, and the occasional glances they would receive were so murderous.
The problem is that some of them are mixed with the gazes of adults who are not mature enough.
“Hey, Aire. Professor Cantone keeps looking this way. It looks like lasers are coming out of his eyes.”
“I hate that guy. He’s gloomy and sinister.”
“We don’t like him either… … .”
I know that the power that Cantone unleashed slowed down the movements of Ban Yu-won and his party, so that they were unable to resist and were sucked into the dungeon… … .
Because the exercise of power was so subtle and there was no evidence left behind, Yumina was unable to pursue it further.
If it weren’t for the Ortima family, the chancellor might have been able to crack down on the cantonments himself, so he was in many ways lucky.
But he looks at them like that, not knowing whether he knows that he was lucky enough to avoid charges.
‘Professor Yumina said that this kind of thing won’t happen again… …but I can’t guarantee that. There’s no way to prevent Cantone from making a fuss.’
One wonders whether a person who is one of only nine full professors in the best academy in the entire dimension would risk his own fate just to get rid of students who are an eyesore, but we must not forget that he has already committed a similar act.
That’s why he had to get stronger faster.
So that no matter who sets a trap, you can easily jump over it… …!
“Yuwon, look here.”
Perhaps wanting to escape from the heavy topic, Ruchel called Ban Yu-won while checking her mirror.
As she was the most stylishly dressed in the group, she seemed quite natural as she operated the mirror as if she were operating a smartphone.
“There is a separate bulletin board where only fan club members who really follow the students of the Academy gather.”
“huh?”
“Where, where… … Ah.”
Ruchel brought up the Union Net integrated community bulletin board screen.
As Ban Yu-won approached her, Light also followed behind him, but then realized the distance was too close and fell back in surprise.
Ban Yu-won said in disbelief.
“You can just look at it as yours.”
“I’m not good at that.”
“Information from other dimensions is crisp, but strangely, that part is weak… … .”
They had no choice but to enlarge the image above the mirror so that Light could see it too, and the three of them put their heads together to check the bulletin board.
“Unity, Phoenix, Revival, Survivor… Oh, those are team names, not fan club names? Then our naming sense is similar to that of other students.”
Since most special activities are carried out in groups, it seems that other students also choose team names that represent them, like Rebellion.
However, that period is usually around the second or third year, when the team composition is solidified (it is said that most students change their team composition every time they are lost at the top to find the best team).
Since the members of Class 11 are from a special recruitment process, they cannot afford to change teams, so they have to stay together, no matter what!
“What are you talking about, Ban? I think Rebellion is a pretty great name. Of course, the underlying meaning of the rebellion seems to be to reject the existing system, so it’s a bit… … but still.”
“Yuwon, there’s a list of promising teams and their fan clubs here.”
Ignoring the grumbling Light, Lucelle called out to him.
Ban Yu-won was amazed as he looked at the list of fan clubs that seemed to number at least a few dozen.
“There really is quite a fan club centered around 4th and 5th year seniors.”
“Well, even if you group them into teams of five, there would be at least a few dozen per school year. If you think about it that way, it actually seems like a small number.”
“Most of the members are only a few dozen to a few hundred in number. Compared to Level Force, they’re all cute.”
Ban Yu-won nodded in agreement as Aneri expressed her pride in the fan club she belongs to.
“surely…….”
Their fan clubs all seemed to lack both number of members and cohesion compared to Rebellion’s fan club, Level Force.
How could they possibly win against Rebellion, which uploads all sorts of videos including videos of exploring the tower periodically and has a modern Earth-style communication where viewers can feel a sense of intimacy without even one official introduction video?
… … But wait a minute.
“Aneri, you haven’t gone yet?”
“Your special activities aren’t over yet!”
Aneri, unable to approach Ban Yu-won because of the strictly organized order, is looking into the mirror over Ruchel’s back.
Ban Yu-won looked at his watch and saw that there was still some time left until the meeting time.
It really looks like they’re going to stick together until the moment they leave this dimension.
“What on earth does this mean when it comes to helping you climb the tower… … .”
“Mr. Ban Yu-won, you didn’t just look at me and say ‘something like this’, did you?”
“Of course not.”
“I believed it!”
Actually, it’s half right and half wrong.
Because the anti-Yu-won was talking about the awareness itself that is formed in an external dimension.
I’ll admit that it was beneficial in this case, but what does that have to do with the tower?
“Did Professor Yumina really say that?”
“That’s what I said.”
“Hmm… … It is said that the power of the tower is what allows communication by connecting countless dimensions. So, wouldn’t it be natural for what happens in the connected dimensions to affect the tower?”
Even Dokgo Yeon, who had been pretending not to care, was now looking at Ban Yu-won’s mirror and saying something.
When Ban Yu-won heard her words, something came to mind.

‘Connecting countless dimensions to enable communication… … It feels similar to the ability of our ancestors. In other words, it was inevitable that the Tower of Babel would have such an ability.’
Unifying all languages means enabling everyone to communicate.
Couldn’t connecting all dimensions also be considered as an extension of that?
Moreover, the name of the dimension where the Tower of Babel is located now is Union.
It is no coincidence that the word meaning integration and unification became the name of the dimension.
‘What if the Tower of Babel, which is still there, is actually the key that connects all dimensions? Then, of course, the things we do in other dimensions could affect the tower!’
For the first time, my complicated thoughts were neatly organized.
Ban Yu-won wanted to hug Dokgo Yeon, who had given him the crucial hint, but he knew that he would get hit if he did, so instead he grabbed Ruchel’s hand and shook it up and down.
She said with a kind smile, without being surprised.
“Did something good happen, Yuwon?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Hey, I’m so happy to hear that.”
“… … What is it? From a fan’s perspective, the way the two of you create such a sweet atmosphere feels a bit strange. Instead, please include me and make it a harem.”
“I think a harem starts with four people.”
To Ban Yu-won, who responded to Aneri’s nonsense with nonsense of the same kind, Aneri surprisingly clung to him in delight.
“Then, you just need to save two more people besides me!”
“No, it was my fault. Stop it. … … But.”
Ban Yu-won, who tried to stop Aneri from writing a post on the fan club’s official homepage right away, was shocked when he saw the homepage screen that appeared on her mirror (it was not purchased from Union, so of course the design was very different, but it seemed that this type of communication device was called a mirror in other dimensions as well).
Unlike other student fan clubs, it was expected that a separate fan cafe would be created in addition to a bulletin board.
But I couldn’t help but feel thrilled when I saw that the number of members in the fan cafe had surpassed 100,000.
At the same time, a question arose.
“Aneri, I told you last time that there are restrictions on who can access Union Net.”
“Aha. So you’re curious about the access conditions for Union Net?”
If you pretend, it’s true.
As Ban Yu-won nodded, Aneri kindly explained.
“First of all, most of those who are qualified to cross dimensions like us have access to the Union Net. Other than that… … the more you go from lower to higher dimensions, the more people with access rights there are, and among them, they tend to be concentrated in the strong and high-ranking classes.”
“It’s a very easy-to-understand logic of power.”
As we discussed earlier, if the Tower of Babel controls the Union Net, it is only natural that the distribution of access rights follows the logic of power.
As Ban Yu-won shook his head, Aneri lowered her voice and whispered for no reason.
“I found out while infiltrating here that only the top 1% of humanity here has access to the Union Net. Still, that’s a lot for a lower dimension.”
“Then another… … .”
-Everyone gather together.
Just as I was about to ask about the other lower dimensions, Zeno’s gathering spirit fell.
Before they knew it, Yumina had appeared beside them.
“Thank you for your hard work, Aneri. I hope I can ask for your help again in the future.”
“This… … If you call me for something related to Rebellion, I’ll give you a 20% discount! If you call me personally, 50%! And… … .”
Aneri, who had been sighing in regret until the end, had no choice but to slowly step back… … and winked at Dokgo Yeon.
“Cheer up, Dokgoyeon! In my opinion, you still have a lot of chances!”
“… … ?”
At her meaningless cheer, Dokgo Yeon’s pupils rarely dilated and he looked embarrassed.
But even when I tried to ask what it meant, Aneri’s backpedaling figure was soon lost in the crowd.
Dokgo Yeon was even more surprised.
“I lost all sense of it in an instant… …?”
“She’s a mercenary from that dimension. Her level is high. She’s a specialist in undercover operations, so her looks and stealth skills are better than her fighting prowess, but she’s a talented person who can operate without difficulty even in the highest dimension.”
Yumi explains with a smile to the astonished Dokgo Yeon.
Ruchel gnashed his teeth and disintegrated, which was rare.
“Maybe that woman was watching me too.”
“Yeah, I definitely couldn’t read that woman’s concept all the way through… … .”
At first, I was very suspicious, but in the end, he was a very good person, although his expression of affection was excessive.
Even in the midst of all this chaos, he was able to exchange mirror codes with Ban Yu-won without any gaps, so it was good to see that he now had an ally he could trust and rely on in times of need.
Along with the connection with Aire, this could be said to be the greatest reward I received from this special activity.
“Dimensional mercenary… … .”
“Okay, now it’s our turn to go. Let’s go.”
Yumi pushed Ban Yuwon’s shoulder, who was lost in thought.
I had a hunch that it might be him since he was speaking informally, but as expected, it seemed like all the party members had already gone inside.
“It’s a bit… …the ending is a bit disappointing.”
“What a waste, look behind you.”
I was about to step through the hole in the air with Yumina, but instead, I glanced back as she said.
As if the gathering place wasn’t chosen for nothing as the plaza, countless soldiers were gathered there in the same manner as when they first arrived.
“thank you!”
“Long live Union Academy!”
“goodbye……!”
“I will remember salvation for the rest of my life!”
The composition will never be the same as it was a few days ago.
There must have been quite a few soldiers who were sacrificed along with the monsters due to the baptism of power that the Academy professors poured out without restraint.
The crisis that they could not overcome on their own might grow back again like a weed that could not be uprooted and strangle them.
And yet they cheer like that.
Because somehow the dimension persisted and survived.
He is praised not only by the faculty but also by the students, as if he were a god.
‘―Is it natural for everyone to become arrogant like this? I must be careful before I become like them.’
Ban Yu-won ascended the dimension line with a bitter realization.
The special activity that made me realize many things about the relationship between Union and other dimensions… really, in many ways, ended like that.

-Your Majesty, I declare that I will break the sword!
―What has changed since last year when you strongly declared your intention to compete in the Olympics? Empress Ban Yu-mi suddenly announces retirement!
Olympic gold medalist and rising star in fencing.
A true monster who competed in the difficult sport of fencing, foil and sabre, and won gold medals in both events.
The news of Empress Ban Yu-mi’s early retirement shocked and saddened many domestic fans who had even the slightest interest in fencing…
The foil and sabre athletes, who had hoped to compete with her at the next Olympics and win team gold, were particularly shocked.
That was the whole reason she gathered all her close players together and went to shoot Hanwoo.
“Are you really going to quit? Of course, you’ve already won enough medals, but what are we supposed to do?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do anything about it because it would be against the rules if I go out to play.”
Who would have thought that just by awakening magical powers, your body would continue to grow stronger?
Ban Yu-mi shrugged her shoulders, muttering to herself the words she couldn’t explain.
Since fencing was originally just a means for her to become stronger, she had no great hesitation in deciding to retire.
“Are you really getting married? Are you retiring?”
“Hey, what’s the point of getting married at the age of twenty-two?”
“That’s right, that’s not it, sis. This bitch still has her little brother on her phone wallpaper.”
“That’s a bit off… … .”
“I wake up a lot… … .”
“Don’t you think your little brother is annoying?”
“But why don’t you introduce us? I clearly asked you to introduce us last time.”
“Oh really.”
Ban Yu-mi said, shaking off the players who kept pestering her but now secretly coveted her younger sister with one arm.
“I’m not getting married, and my younger sibling won’t introduce me to anyone. What are you being greedy about?”
“Look at that decisiveness.”
“Yumi, are you going to live with your little brother for the rest of your life? Huh? Do you think it’s easy to keep a medalist as your partner?”
“I don’t know, I got a call. Everyone, go away.”
I even shot Korean beef, so I think people will eat it in moderation and be satisfied.
Ban Yu-mi pushed people away and checked her phone.
It was a normal text.
The only thing missing was the sender’s name, which was broken.
I briefly expected it to be my brother, but it was clearly spam.
Ban Yu-mi clicked her tongue and read the contents.
“What is this? … … Information on Earth dimension evolution notification and acquisition of Union Net early access rights?”
