Admission is a waste of time (7)
Lesson 2. This is your roommate – 3
For a whole day after that, Ban Yu-won moved around frantically.
He classified the artifacts in his trunk into those to be ‘only extracted from the concept’ and those to be ‘kept intact,’ and also purchased a large quantity of everyday objects that could be used to extract concepts.
In the process, the capacity of the code core was running low, so we urgently had to find something with the concept of a core, and the solution was extremely simple.
It was possible to extract the concept of a nucleus of about 0.05 from the seeds of fruits, regardless of type.
As a result, he purchased a large quantity of fruit that could be mistaken for a fruit vendor and extracted a total of 155 deep cores.
The concept of the remaining fruit – that is, the flesh – was all gathered together, and at first, we tried to see if we could divide it into fruit and meat, but it was impossible.
Because the pulp is merely the flesh of the fruit, not the meat itself.
With that, Ban Yu-won realized that not all concepts of a language made up of Chinese characters can be split, and that it is not easy for a lower concept (fruit) to overcome the limits of a higher concept (fruit).
The point is that no matter how much you split the concept of language, you cannot go against the natural order.
The point was that you shouldn’t try to live life too easily.
“What if we put this concept into a watermelon? Wouldn’t it be a really tasty watermelon?”
“Since I’m not going to eat it right now, why don’t you just make it into something like canned food?”
“Wow, are you a genius, sis?”
The words that Ban Yu-mi blurted out while watching Ban Yu-won’s work opened Ban Yu-won’s eyes.
He immediately took out a jar of strawberry jam from the luggage he had packed (since he probably wouldn’t be able to return to his hometown for a while, he planned to pack a lot of Earth-preserved foods, such as canned food and ramen, into his inventory) and put the concept of fruit pulp into it.
“Why a bottle and not a can?”
“With a can, once you open it, you have to finish it, but with this, you can share it.”
“Weren’t you just trying to kill some time?”
At first, I added 1 each (it was not a small number since 1 was a number that required several fruits to make) and observed the trend, but since there was not much change on the outside, I gradually added 5 each more boldly.
When I came to my senses after pushing it in like that, all 570 of the pulp I had obtained while extracting the 155 nuclear nuclei had been concentrated into one canned food!
“Oops, I did it… … !”
“Hey, is this shiny?”
Just as I was preparing to throw the bottle, thinking it might explode, the contents of the bottle began to emit a dazzling light, just as Ban Yu-mi had said.
At that tense moment, the light went silent and a Babylonian code notification window appeared before Ban Yu-won’s eyes.
[I have created a beginner’s elixir 5. I have compressed the vitality contained in the flesh to the limit and sealed it. Just taking a bite will greatly boost your vitality and have a great effect on the growth of your being. However, the seal is currently very loose, so it is easy for the vitality to escape.]
The moment he heard that, Ban Yu-won took the concept of a seal, which was separated from a bag of cookies and collected, and gave it to a bottle.
The change was immediate.
[You have created 10 beginner elixirs. The contents are perfectly preserved due to the perfect seal, and their effectiveness is also amplified. It is also effective in healing wounds, but it is basically good for inducing the growth of the concept of existence through long-term use.]
“Wow, I even make elixirs.”
“What is it? What happened?”
Instead of responding, Ban Yu-won opened the sealed jar of preserves, scooped up a large spoonful of the contents, took a bite for himself, and then gave a bite to his older sister.
Her eyes were filled with stars.
“Ugh, what is this… … delicious! Dora, so delicious… … !”
“I won’t give you any more.”
“Wow, wow!”
“If you want, you can make some too. Grandpa! Come to work and have a bite of jam!”
“Hey, Grandpa likes Yanggaeng better… … .”
With this, we were able to cleanly process both the core and the pulp.
I also learned that even if it seems like just an ordinary concept, if you collect and compress it in a special way, it can be transformed into a completely different concept.
Now it was time to head to the academy.
“Don’t be discouraged, son. And for now, enroll in S University. Come back whenever you want.”
“Yeah, I get that Dad has no expectations of me at all.”
When he turned his head to receive a greeting that made his father, who was more of a complacent person than a half-sister, lose his energy, his mother hugged him tightly.
“Take care, my son.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
“Are you going to go even if you die?”
“I can’t go if I die. I’ll go and come back safely without dying.”
“Oh my, anyway… … .”
“Won-ah.”
Ban Ji-won approached Ban Yu-won, who had barely escaped from his mother’s arms.
Surprisingly, he had remained sane ever since he first heard the story of the Tower of Babel from Ban Yu-won, and he was still standing there in neat clothes, reminding me of the days when he was actively working.
It is exactly like the grandfather that Ban Yu-won has always admired and followed.
“Don’t leave the family’s secret garden to me.”
“I’ll somehow get to the top before I graduate.”
“Well done, my grandson.”
In this place, there is an intense longing and desire for the ‘top’ that only the ancestors can share.
They hugged tightly, and after greeting each other, Ban Yu-won said something to his older sister who was staring blankly at him.
“Sister, don’t get caught doping while competing.”
“You idiot, if you’re going to cheat, why are you participating in the competition?”
His attitude remains unchanged even though his younger brother is going to another world where he doesn’t even know where it is.
Well, that did give him some peace of mind.
“Okay, do your best. Then let’s go.”
Ban Yu-won snickered, looked at his family, and then responded to the message that had appeared before his eyes a moment ago.
[The entrance ceremony for Union Academy begins. Summon the students of Ban Yu-won.]
* * *
I closed my eyes and opened them again, and before I knew it, I was in a huge auditorium.

The people on both sides flinched in surprise at his sudden appearance, then frowned when they saw Ban Yu-won’s school uniform.
“What, you’re from the bottom? Why are you here?”
“Get out of here.”
“Oh, thank you.”
They are such kind friends who even tell me where to go.
Ban Yu-won waved to the freshmen who had shown him their seats, then headed to the seats where the students who had passed the special admission process in the lower levels were sitting.
I didn’t know that there would be discrimination even in seating, but like Light said, it seems like things will get a little tough from now on.
Well, I just found out that the school uniforms are different.
‘And the vibes coming from all directions… … Oh my. Are they all freshmen?’
Although he is still a beginner, Ban Yu-won has cleared a dungeon, gained insight into the concept of magic power, and has learned to read his opponent’s momentum to some extent through a night-long sparring session with Ban Yu-mi, who is stronger than him.
But even the weakest-looking person around him now felt like he was ten times stronger than Ban Yu-won.
If I could touch them, I could try to interpret the concept of language, but I can’t possibly ask those who are spewing hostility, “Can I hold your hand?”
Now, all I can do is walk with my shoulders back, pretending to be as brave as possible, and find my seat as quickly as possible.
‘If Grandpa hadn’t supported me, I would have really been at a loss. Fortunately, thanks to him, I was able to faithfully gather all the necessary means.’
When I arrived there, shivering, there were only four chairs, and it felt like I was being exiled to a place where I was separated from the other students.
“half!”
“Light, hello. This is our seat. The special seats are awesome.”
“Ah, is it awesome? Haha… … .”
There were two other female students there besides Light, who were embarrassed by Ban Yoo-won’s excessive use of slang and smiled bitterly.
“Oh, hello.”
“Yeah, hello.”
One of them was a girl with unusually bright bubblegum pink eyes and hair, with a black bridge only in her bangs. She was a pure and cute beauty, like a puppy.
But Ban Yu-won tried hard to keep his eyes from going to her swollen chest, which was more prominent than her rich and gorgeous hair or face.
Even though she knew that her breasts were large enough to attract attention, her default posture was to curl up as much as possible, but Ban Yu-won was careful to suppress her instincts, even if it was embarrassing.
“Well, you too.”
“……hmm.”
Meanwhile, the remaining one had another condition that was too flashy.
Her long hair was strangely shiny white, and her eyes were completely black with no distinction between the whites and the blacks, with a silver cross appearing in the center of her pupils.
Here, we slightly deviate from the concept of humanity that Ban Yu-won knows.
I was worried for no reason, wondering if it was the demon’s eye from some comic book or something.
‘No, but are these guys really special lower-dimensional types? They all seem to be able to chew up the regular types… … .’
Not only did I feel impressed by Aslight, whom I had met two days ago, but the eerie aura that the black-and-white woman (because she had white hair and black eyes) gave off was so strong that I thought it could even surpass the professor, and even the puppy girl shivering like a lamb over there seemed far stronger than Ban Yoo-won!
The good news is that, living up to its reputation as the best academy in the entire dimension, it has students of all sorts of strangely shaped races, but at least they look human.
They all look equally attractive!
‘One of them doesn’t seem human… … But still, if you look at it, it has an eerie charm. Yes, you could say it’s a sinister charm.’
Ban Yu-won, who is satisfied with coming up with words that are suitable for defining others, fearing that someone might say that he is not a linguistic genius.
Then suddenly he realized that her cross pupil was looking straight at him and flinched.
“Why, why?”
“Your… … thing floating around. Interesting.”
“Huh? Oh, are you talking about the goblin bat?”
It would not be surprising if a person with a sensitive ability would notice the goblin bat.
When Ban Yu-won called it out onto the palm of her hand, she stuck her head out without blinking and looked at it carefully.
Then he said, “Huh,” and laughed.
Strangely enough, at that moment, I felt the pressure I felt from her greatly diminish.
“My name is Dokgo Yeon, the daughter of a martial artist. What is your name?”
“Uh, your name is… … .”
“I just found out your name. … … We’re in the same room. We’ve been together for a few days.”
Listening to the other two people’s stories, it seemed like this was the first time she had introduced herself.
But there was something more concerning to Ban Yu-won.
“It’s Ban Yu-won. But you’re a martial artist? Do you use martial arts or something? Do you have a long sword?”
“Phew.”
The woman who revealed her name as Dokgo Yeon burst into laughter at the word Jangpung.
Ban Yu-won wondered if he had done something rude, but it seemed like it wasn’t rude because Light and the puppy girl who were listening to him burst into laughter.
“Your perception wasn’t that… … huh, wrong.”
“Really? Well, there are fantasies, so how could there not be any in the martial arts world?”
“The number of the countless dimensions of the Murim… … that is, the ‘dimensions where religion, philosophy, and other ideologies are systematically established along with mana training methods and martial arts’ is known to be over ten thousand, half.”
Light, who was looking for a chance to get to know the other special students, spoke from the side.
“only?!”
“……joy.”
Ban Yu-won was purely shocked by his words, but Dokgo Yeon gave Light a slightly cold look.
Depending on how you listen to it, it might feel like you’re looking down on her origins.
Light also stepped back with an embarrassed expression, perhaps realizing his mistake.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to disrespect your birth dimension or anything. I just wanted to tell you the truth… … .”
“… … !”
“Light, I think it would be better to just stay still.”
“Uh, yeah.”
Fortunately, the angry Dokgo Yeon did not demonstrate his martial arts skills in front of their eyes.
She turned her head abruptly, deciding to just ignore him, and reached out a hand to Ban Yu-won.
“Ban Yu-won, please take good care of me. … … I feel a connection with you.”
“Yeah, well, please take care of me too. If you get something from me, don’t forget to give me something in return.”
“Haha.”
It doesn’t seem as scary as I first thought.
As Ban Yu-won, who had made that judgment, took her hand, the cross in her eyes slightly rotated.
I don’t know if it’s meant positively, but it was going well and then it got really scary at the end!
“excuse me!”
As the two were having a rather friendly conversation, someone interrupted them.
It was the pink-haired puppy girl.
“Please take good care of me too… …! Ruchel, I don’t have a last name, I’m just Ruchel.”
“Ah, ahem. I’m As Light. You can call me Light. Please take care of me. Ruchel, Dokgo.”
“Dokgo?”
Dokgo Yeon, who had seemed cheerful until now, frowned and said.
“You might as well call me Dokgoyeon.”
“Ah, hahaha… … Looks like the food is about to start.”
Light, who had been embarrassed, pointed straight ahead with a bitter smile that was becoming increasingly familiar.
Nine professors were seen coming up onto the podium set up in the center of the auditorium.
Ban Yu-won felt strangely happy when he discovered Professor Yumina with green skin and red petal-like hair. As if she noticed him, Professor Yumina looked back at him and smiled faintly.
“Maybe an interview?”
“Yeah. With that professor.”
That time I was talking to Light.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers exploding was heard in the air.
In the eyes of everyone who reflexively raised their heads.
Suddenly, the ceiling of the auditorium opened, and beyond it, a giant eye was visible.
-Everyone is gathered.
A being that should not have been perceived has manifested.
It is so lofty and huge that just facing its presence would crush a fragile life and lead to death.
Ban Yu-won barely recognized those eyes and was terribly shocked, but it was not without its rewards.
[Your understanding of the concept of eyes deepens. The depth of your reading eye has reached 105. You will be able to see more and more clearly.]
[The depth of the soul has reached 320. The mind becomes stronger and more resistant to evil.]
At that moment, Ban Yu-won, who had developed his own unique concept in an instant, opened his eyes wide.
Maybe it was my imagination, but it felt like huge eyes were looking at Banyuwon.
But I’m probably mistaken.
– Now, let us begin the 2,557th entrance ceremony of Union Academy.
It would have been impossible for such a great being to individually recognize the existence of a tiny half-human.
