Admission is a waste of time (85)
Lesson 18. Midterm Exam – 7
What the Chancellor said about Mira’s potion was to the point.
It’s not a detox, it’s a solution.
The potion wasn’t particularly toxic, but merely a catalyst that linked the person taking it to a specific constellation.
This causes the user to enter a kind of trance state, and due to the traces of stigmata flowing back from the constellations (perhaps constellations that originally had the ability to act on the mind), they become insensitive to external stimuli, their field of vision narrows, and they lose their ability to make rational judgments.
The increased learning effectiveness is merely a byproduct, and is only a small fraction of the benefits of the original solution.
If it ended here, I could at least laugh, but the problem starts now.
The user of the potion enters into a contract with the constellation the moment he drinks it.
It is unclear exactly what they are being asked to pay in exchange for the faint stigmata they have absorbed into their bodies, but they have been deceived into a fraudulent contract where they have no choice but to give up their souls even if they are asked for them.
If this isn’t a curse, then what is?
Now, how do we nullify this potion?
First, we need to break the connection with the constellations.
Of course it is difficult.
If you have a formal contract with the constellation, it is impossible for others to interfere.
However, since it was a temporary contract through a potion, it could be broken.
Since it was not a legitimate contract to begin with and the method of contracting was also crude, it was possible to enter into the process of canceling the contract in the same way, that is, by ‘drinking something’.
I learned from Selon that creating the conditions for a curse to be cast is the first step to healing.
Of course, drinking ordinary water wouldn’t cut the connection, but it was a magical potion that granted Ban Yu-won’s special language magic, ‘Undo’ and ‘Sever’.
Secondly, we must erase any traces of the constellations remaining in their bodies.
In terms of difficulty, this one is harder than the first one.
However, when Ban Yu-won checked through the ticket, he was able to confirm that the stigmata inside their bodies were not perfectly mixed and were floating.
If you think about it, it’s only natural.
If you can perfectly absorb the stigmata into your body and handle it, then you are the contractor and sponsor of the constellation.
That’s where Ban Yu-won came to mind.
‘Can’t I absorb that with my power?’
From there, deep thought, thought experiments, and discussions with Selon followed.
In conclusion, Ban Yu-won decided to use Admiral Lee Dok-ga’s method.
It was decided to use the power of the constellations to suppress the power of the constellations!
Soul flame.
Here, the first glimpse of that terrifying ability to share one’s soul and give it to objects was revealed.
Since it is his soul, even if it is divided, it is natural that he can exert power – the Babylonian Code.
This means that absorption and theft, preservation and synthesis of concepts are possible.
Even if it’s not a complete concept of the body, I’m sure I can absorb the stigmata that are unnaturally mixed in the body!
―It was thanks to this conclusion that Celon and he came to the same conclusion that the potion was given a mixed flame effect.
‘I also learned from Celon that it is necessary to adjust the order in which language magic is activated when the opponent drinks the potion… … .’
Even though he had already tried the experiment, Ban Yu-won was not sure if it would be successful now that the environment and other conditions had changed, so he clenched his fist tightly, unable to hide his nervousness.
“It’s over.”
Ketra, who had emptied the contents of the flask she had received from Ban Yu-won, looked back at him with a relieved expression.
Ban Yu-won asked back with an expression of disbelief.
“It’s over?”
“Yeah. Fairy people are originally good at this. I’m particularly good at it. Reality alteration, especially switching. It’s like a unique power of the race that goes beyond magic.”
“Oh… … .”
“of course-.”
“He’s more dangerous than I thought,” Ketra said, taking a quick stride to close the distance between himself and Ban Yu-won, who was backing away.
“This isn’t easy to use against someone with strong abilities. Even if I were to try to do something openly, even my juniors would probably notice. They just didn’t know because the target was someone else.”
“I wonder.”
Ban Yu-won smiled awkwardly as he recalled Dokgo Yeon being caught by Ketra at the beginning of the semester.
I thought that if the power to change reality and the speed at which it moves invisible were combined, it would be possible to do something without anyone noticing.
To stop this, you need to strengthen your powers even more – Ketra explained to Ban Yu-won.
“But the people we’re working with today aren’t all in their right minds. That’s why they didn’t get caught.”
“Oh, right.”
Those who take Mira’s potion become dull to external stimuli and tend to focus on only one thing.
Perhaps it was a measure taken to keep people from talking about potions, but it ended up being a nice treat for Ketra.
“Right… … All targets have completed taking the antidote. What do you think?”
“Hmm.”
Ban Yu-won looked around the restaurant, his eyes focused on the dizziness.
The target students’ appearances could be quickly identified.
First of all, the termination and disconnection are immediately manifested.
The tiny flow of energy that had been flowing into them from outer space seemed to suddenly stop.
Naturally, the buff of maintaining concentration – the curse was also lifted, and the sight of them all opening their eyes wide and looking around couldn’t have been more funny.
Next… … Without even bothering to examine the target’s appearance, the ‘soul flame’ crawled into their body and collected information in real time and relayed it to him.
-How are you feeling?
‘It’s a bit strange… … I need to get used to it to be able to handle the power well.’
―Constellation [Breath of Life] suspects that your abilities are beyond the scope of the powers you have granted.
Yeah, I got out of it a long time ago~.
Ban Yu-won closed his eyes tightly, muttering to himself the grievances that could not possibly be conveyed to the constellation.
The depth of the soul that Ban Yu-won gave to the potion through the power of the flame is approximately 50.

The number of students who took Mira’s potion and entered into a state of pre-contract with the constellation was slightly less than 50, so it can be said that one soul of Banyuwon entered each of their bodies.
Of course, it is common that you can’t do anything with a depth of 1.
But the potion they swallowed along with the fragments of his soul contained a powerful language magic that originated from dizziness.
The stigmata were unable to resist the flames of the soul that rushed in during the gap in the connection with the constellation and were absorbed.
And due to the feverish effect of the potion, all the students who drank the potion began to sweat… … At that time, the mixed flames that escaped through the pores along with the sweat all returned to Ban Yu-won and were absorbed.
It may be difficult to enter the human body, but it is easy to come out!
… … Even though I knew it was separate from sweat, I couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
[Restores 50 souls. Depth of the incantation becomes 20. Depth of the stigmata becomes 9.7.]
“oh.”
Even though the stigmata absorbed by each person were small, when collected together they amounted to a considerable amount.
Wouldn’t this efficiency also increase significantly when the depth reaches 10?
-great job.
‘Thanks for helping me too.’
Anyway, this is the end.
There was no trace of the constellation left on the students, and the contract was completely terminated.
The sunrise is over.
Ketra also looked relieved as she looked beside Ban Yu-won, who was looking satisfied.
“Looking at those images, it seems like the problem has been resolved well.”
“But, senior, there is one last thing I have to do.”
“Of course. You’re just coming in.”
As soon as I contacted him, a large man… Graham… was entering the cafeteria.
Now that the situation has been resolved, it is now possible to ask for help from outsiders, or rather, other student council members.
“I’m from the Student Council. We’ve received a report regarding the distribution of illegal drugs on campus. The students you’ve named are now asked to report to the Student Council for questioning.”
In terms of the aura alone, the deep baritone voice that was the best in the academy shook the spacious student cafeteria.
It’s really amazing, the potion and medicine are just reversed, but the difference in the confusion you feel is ten million times greater.
“Grail, Ottos, Masinan, Dubec il Tachis… … .”
“What, what?! Illegal drugs? I don’t know about that?”
“It’s not illegal! I didn’t cheat in the exam room, I just drank a little potion to help me study… … .”
“B-But where is this place? What day is it today? I don’t quite remember… … .”
Potion users are obviously embarrassed and react criminally.
Ban Yu-won muttered in astonishment at the sight.
“I think it would have been better to just gather them together as a student council from the beginning and have them drink antidote medicine.”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have followed along so easily. Everyone got addicted to that potion.”
“Well… … .”
Ban Yu-won nodded, saying that he knew what Ketra meant when she said that if they had carried out the forced execution before drinking the antidote, things could have really gotten worse.
He just felt resentful as he watched those students so easily reveal their feelings, bewildered, and obediently follow Graham’s words, and wondered what he had suffered all this time.
“Don’t you think that the execution was made easier because the side effects of the potion were so severe? Look, everyone is just being awkward and not being able to adapt to reality.”
“Then it’s all thanks to me.”
Most of the students who took the potion responded that they didn’t know why they were here.
That meant that the trance state caused by the potion was dangerous… … and the other students who realized that it could have led to other crimes were also muttering together.
Coincidentally, the scene of the incident was the student cafeteria where most students gathered.
Now that the potion issue has been made public and everyone is on high alert, there is no longer any need to worry about potions being distributed within the Academy.
“Oh, here comes Graham.”
“Then I’ll just disappear… … .”
But Ban Yu-won’s wish did not come true.
Because Graham had him locked on and approached him from the beginning.
“I’m Graham, the student council secretary. Nice to meet you, Ban Yuwon.”
“… … Hello, senior. I remember you.”
Graham stood in front of Ban Yoo-won, tying up the potion users in a line like skewered skeletons.
For some reason, whenever I spoke to him, he would bow his head with a bitter smile after telling me his title and name, and Graham would put a hand on his shoulder with a solemn expression.
“I heard you gave me advice on how to resolve this situation.”
Ban Yu-won didn’t answer those words right away, but glared at Ketra.
He had a prickly expression on his face,
“I couldn’t hide everything as I was talking about asking for the follow-up. Of course, I didn’t tell the other executives. Mira doesn’t know, and our chairman doesn’t know either.”
And made excuses.
Ban Yu-won sighed and nodded his head.
Graham was a trustworthy person, and there was no way he could have found out exactly what Ban Yu-won had done today.
“It’s okay. But please keep this a secret, you too, senior.”
“Of course. I greatly appreciate your cooperation. I look forward to working with you as an executive.”
“No, that’s a bit… … .”
Ban Yu-won has stepped aside for now. If they also learn that Mira is behind this situation and that Ban Yu-won is the one who stabbed Mira in the back, wouldn’t their thoughts change a little?
“Vice President, we need to investigate these people… … Would you please join us?”
“Okay, let’s go together. Junior Ban Yu-won, see you later.”
“yes.”
Ban Yoo-won was very impressed by the way Graham, who was no less than a professor in terms of the atmosphere, spoke politely to Ketra, who was like a blonde, tanned punk, and sent the two away.
And that afternoon, as usual, while Ban Yu-won was practicing the Hyeonsin Gong while being dusted off by Dokgo Yeon, a message from Ketra flew into his mirror (Ruchel and Light were concentrating on their studies because they had more pressing matters to do with their exams).
The idea was to meet up this weekend to say thank you for this.
“What’s going on, Ban Yu-won? Could it be that the beast is in heat again… …”
“No, man.”
“man?!”
Ban Yu-won honestly thought that if he felt grateful to him, he would not want him to take up any more of his time, but he calculated that it would not be a bad idea to make connections even if he did not belong to the student council―.
Since there were still questions about the unique abilities of the Fairy Tribe, I accepted his offer.
