Lesson 4. Rebellion – 3

Rumors quickly spread throughout the school. The match between Dok Go-yeon and Ortima was being broadcast on the intranet in real-time, so by lunchtime, no one in the academy didn't know Dok Go-yeon's name.

"It seems that Ortima was the most highly expected first-year student. But since she had a close match with him, her name's worth is bound to go up."

"No, there was at least one more worth watching in that class."

As Ban Yu-won synthesized what students were saying on the free bulletin board, Dok Go-yeon, taking the seat next to Light, countered.

"I thought you could find the one."

"I was focused on your fight."

"Then there is nothing I can do."

Dok Go-yeon and Ban Yu-won got closer after the morning class. Ban Yu-won wanted to secure an appropriate distance, but it was accurate to say that Dok Go-yeon ignored it and narrowed their distance. Thanks to that, only his distance from Ruchel grew further.

It was because Ruchel was now openly afraid of Dok Go-yeon. He couldn't even imagine how the two of them were living in the same room.

"More importantly…they're talking a lot about you too."

"Yeah, they can't say mean things about you, so I'm guessing it's about me instead."

One desperately fled from the fight, and the other pushed the most promising first-year student back. Since these two were the same lower-dimensional special archetypes, how much could people talk?!

"Indeed, many people here do not know how foolish it is to judge without seeing with their own eyes…."

"I'm grateful that you acknowledge me, but, indeed, I'm still a weakling. Tell them to see me in a week."

Ban Yu-won didn't say much and spread the jam he brought on the crispy baked bread. Dok Go-yeon's gaze softened as she sniffed the air.

"It smells very sweet."

"Want some?"

Instead of answering, Dok Go-yeon nudged the bread on her plate closer. As Ban Yu-won smiled and spread a spoonful of jam on it, Dok Go-yeon carefully took a bite.

"…!"

The moment she tasted the jam-coated bread, the crosses in her eyes turned round and round. It was scary at first, but after watching it a few times, he got used to it.

Dok Go-yeon held out the remaining bread and asked.

"Can you give me more?"

"Sure, it's not very expensive."

In fact, it was a concentrated extract of tens of thousands of fruits, so the price was higher than he could imagine, but it was cheap if it was to buy her favor. It was so sweet that even a teaspoon was enough to feel ecstatic.

"This is really…I've tried all kinds of sweets, but this one is especially…is it your ability?"

"Yes."

"It's interesting…very interesting."

'No, can't you just simply say thank you? I can't understand why every time you look at me with that kind of lion-like expression like I'm prey!'

But what was even funnier was Light and Ruchel, who were sneakily pushing their bread toward him from the other side.

"I'll give you both some, so don't look so desperate."

"Sorry, it just smells so sweet."

"Thanks…!"

As soon as they tried some, Light and Ruchel drooped their shoulders as if they had reached paradise simultaneously.

"What taste…!"

"Fruit, the essence of the fruit itself. The essence of an incredibly delicious fruit…!"

Ban Yu-won flinched at Ruchel's unexpectedly sharp remarks. Of course, the jam he just took out and shared with his classmates was the elixir he made at his house. He already calculated that there was nothing wrong with giving some out to his classmates as they eventually had to grow with him.

"I feel like I got something too precious."

"We're a team, so we should share good things. You can see it as a reward for the kindness you showed me this morning."

"Hmm, still, that's too much…."

Ban Yu-won thought he should share the jam with his classmates daily. Even if it were just a beginner's elixir, it would be helpful if they ate it steadily. More than anything else, he was able to leave when he wanted, so he thought he would be able to try making more here.

'It might be possible to increase the effect by adding several other concepts. Shall I look around the market today and find a material with a good concept?'

With that thought in mind, he closed the jam and put it in his inventory, and Dok Go-yeon clapped her hands.

"Okay, let me teach you a lesson."

"Huh?"

"I'm saying I will teach you a few martial arts in return for the elixir."

"Elixir?!"

"Cough."

Light started coughing, and Ruchel nearly jumped. As expected, did she notice? Even though he was surprised, Ban Yu-won refuted it.

"It's not very valuable. The effect is negligible."

"Of course, it's insignificant. However, it is extremely rare to find an elixir that has no side effects and increases one's potential. Of course…I won't teach you for free, and can I get a little bit of that from now on?"

"That's what I was going to do anyway."

"I knew it. So, shall we start right away…it could be there."

Dok Go-yeon, who stood up after emptying the plate, took her student ID and disappeared. She went away without even hearing an answer, so he couldn't just make her wait.

Ban Yu-won wolfed down the remaining ham and hurriedly followed her to Yoo Mina's classroom. Light and Ruchel suddenly left alone and went silent for a while as they looked at the plates they had left without cleaning. They sighed and took them when they remembered the elixir they had tried.

* * *

"There is no one here. It's also wide enough to move your body."

Dok Go-yeon, who arrived first, muttered with satisfaction, then looked back at Ban Yu-won and said:

"I know you are growing fast, maybe even in battle. I decided not to ask where the battle was held…was it your ability or talent to change your posture in one day?"

"It's more the ability. Maybe talent…I don't know if that's a talent for you or not."

"It is often said that 'A word is enough to the wise' is a talent, but those who want to practice martial arts need only the talent of remembering what they see. There's too much education that needs to be preceded to teach martial arts with a fixed type and formality…."

Dok Go-yeon raised her index finger and poked toward Ban Yu-won.

"First of all, this one."

Slowly, softly. However, as her powerful fingers cut through the air and reached his eyes, Ban Yu-won dared not move and just watched.

[Sewing]

A movement focused on passing through a single point. He could be sure his head would be pierced if they continued forward.

Ban Yu-won was so immersed in the depth of the concept derived from human motion that he couldn't come to his senses.

"Liar."

She pulled back and smiled.

"Are you going to underestimate yourself when you have the talent to understand the Martial Arts Control that I've only shown you once?"

"…All right, I'll start bragging from now on."

Ban Yu-won, who had barely come to his senses thanks to her talking, retorted with a joke. Dok Go-yeon chuckled and continued to explain.

"Stabbing. It doesn't matter if you do it with a sword, a dagger, or a spear, but what I just showed you is the most basic and ultimate 'meaning' of stabbing. There may be countless applications, such as how many times to stab, where to start, and what kind of energy to use, but this is the ultimate in basics. Do not forget it."

"Ultimate in basics…."

Maybe that was a concept? The concepts Ban Yu-won dealt with also started with one central meaning, but mixing or adding other things to it could create many others. However, ironically, in Dok Go-yeon's movements, the ultimate in basics, that is, only one concept trained to the extreme, he felt a much deeper power rather than a concept created by mixing many things.

'It means I can't just focus on mixing concepts too much.'

Of course, what shouldn't be misunderstood was that the move that Dok Go-yeon just showed wasn't a general technique but one specialized to her. There were many Chinese characters with the meaning of stab, but why did Ban Yu-won capture the term Sewing in her movements? That must be because, for her, stabbing was a fatal move that pierced through her target.

'This is better for me. Being strong is the best.'

Ban Yu-won pulled out his sword and took a stance. Dok Go-yeon nodded her head and stepped aside, beckoning at him and again showing the movement of Sewing. It gave him another flash of realization to see the attack approach.

"You can do it now, right?"

"I don't think I can do it completely."

"If you could follow me completely, the years I had accumulated would be meaningless."

Dok Go-yeon smiled as if she was making a funny joke. When she smiled quietly, she looked so beautiful that he didn't even care that her pupils were crosses.

"Whew."

Next to her, Ban Yu-won raised his sword, took a deep breath, and thrust it at a point in the air. Once again, and again and again. At first, it was at such a disastrous level that he couldn't even feel the fragments of the true meaning, but the second time he suddenly felt the force of stabbing, and by the third, he could clearly feel the concept of Sewing.

―Whoosh!

And on the fourth, the air ripped open. However, compared to what Dok Go-yeon showed him, Ban Yu-won thought it was just a drop in the ocean. He frantically drew his sword again…!

"Stop. You can't control the strength yet, so you will hurt the room like this."

Before he could, Dok Go-yeon grabbed his arm. Seeing the cross in her eyes grow and shrink repeatedly was very strange.

Dok Go-yeon asked Ban Yu-won as she took his sword away.

"You remember what I showed you? Try the rest later in a wider area or against enemies you can kill."

"Okay."

Ban Yu-won frantically nodded. Then, before his eyes, several notifications from the Babylonian Code appeared.

[You have succeeded in observing and understanding the concept of movement and are getting used to it. The depth of the Complete Sight has become 110.]

[You recognized and acquired the concept of Martial Arts. Swordsmanship was absorbed as a sub-concept of Martial Arts.]

[You recognized and acquired the concept of Sewing. The depth of Sewing has been increased to 16.]

'16?'

Ban Yu-won hurriedly perused his body code.

Martial Arts: 36 [Swordsmanship: 20, Sewing: 16]]

He groaned. Sewing became a separate concept from Swordsmanship, and the two combined to form a martial art. It was surprising that Swordsmanship had grown close to six more, but…to put it bluntly, his combat skills had more than doubled at this moment.

However, unlike Ban Yu-won, who was very happy, Dok Go-yeon seemed to have mixed feelings.

"I never imagined that you would show from the beginning the True Meaning of not being swayed by the shape of a weapon."

"Ah, so that's why."

Ban Yu-won, who realized the reason why Swordsmanship and Sewing were separated by the words of Dok Go-yeon, nodded with admiration. But she was still puzzled.

"Hmm?"

"No, nothing. I think I could accept it as it is because you showed a movement independent of weapons."

"You didn't only fully understand that just because I showed it, you're even starting to use it yourself. You took my soul out of me two days after we met."

"It was a really good lesson. Leave the elixir to me."

"It was an unexpected loss."

She groaned and backed away. Then.

"So, I will make up for that loss in the future. Be prepared."

"Eh."

She left those fearsome words and vanished.

Ban Yu-won realized their lunch break was ending and hurriedly left the classroom with his student ID.

'We're going to the same classroom anyway, so she could've waited for me…hmm, the afternoon lectures seem to be focused on writing. I'll be just sitting and listening to the Professor's lectures, so there won't be any quarrels like in the morning.'

Of course, Ban Yu-won knew well that things would happen only when he thought they wouldn't, so he decided to make some minimal preparations for now.

Chapter 16

Lesson 4. Rebellion – 4

The low-level special selection group normally took classes with others, and that afternoon was with class 7. The overall atmosphere was chaotic because they were primarily male students, and the low-level special students were very good prey. Their first target was Ruchel.

"Whew."

"Really."

The person in charge of the lecture was the oldest among the associate professors, an old professor who had served at Union Academy for more than 80 years. Their subject was 100% handwriting, which was rare in Union Academy, and surprisingly, the old Professor, who committed the horrific atrocity of starting a new topic on the first day of the semester, focused only on reading the textbook. His drowsy voice slowly lulled them to sleep from the first sentence.

And because of that.

"Isn't it going to explode if it's that big?"

"Why did she enter the academy to climb the Tower when she's just garbage? There must be something far more suited to her aptitude. For example, my…."

"I'd hire her if she did."

"You idiot, I'm first."

The Professor didn't notice the students blatantly looking toward Ruchel and talking about vulgar things. Ban Yu-won wondered if the Professor was deaf since he didn't call them out even though they were talking so loudly that everyone in the classroom could hear.

"Ugh, uh…."

Ban Yu-won was worried that Ruchel might be crying. But Ruchel…perhaps she had heard it many times because of her natural physical condition or slender appearance. She seemed, unfortunately, used to it.

Ban Yu-won was so proud of her that he gritted his teeth.

'I should beat those bastards instead of staying still like this!'

-Bang!

Just when Ban Yu-won was swinging his fist in his mind, there was a loud noise nearby. Light, sitting next to him, slammed his fists on the desk and stood, looking extremely angry.

"Professor!"

"Uh, uuuh? What's wrong? So…."

"I'm Ace Light from Class 11!"

The four members of the lower-level special type were grouped together and officially called Class 11. However, it was said that there were cases where the special admission students who became seniors weren't assigned a class… Perhaps if it weren't for Yoo Mina, who claimed to be in charge of them, they might have been in the same situation.

"Class 11? Ah, yes. Do you have any questions?"

The Old Professor must be fully aware of the concept of Class 11, seeing the four members sitting apart from the others. Still, seeing him gently say that without changing his face, he didn't seem to have any prejudice against students from the lower dimensions.

"The other students are talking too loudly, so it's difficult to concentrate on the class. I want you to discipline them!"

"Hmm, you are a very admirable student. Did you all hear that? Be quiet during the class so that you can focus on my voice. And I'll give three points to Light."

The Professor nodded as if moved by Light's words and declared so that all the students in the classroom could hear. For reference, according to Ban Yu-won's survey during lunch time, those additional points were one of the criteria for selecting ten outstanding students per grade in the first semester. In addition, if one had too many negative points, surprisingly, they wouldn't get permission to go out!

Those points were meaningless for Ban Yu-won, who had already received permission from the Principal.

"Wow, look at that nerd bastard."

"He only has that pretty face. Didn't he pass the practical evaluation with his face too?"

"No, you idiot, how can someone pass the practical evaluation with their face?"

"I don't know. Maybe his test was with a succubus…."

"That…makes sense!"

And, of course, the old Professor's declaration meant nothing to the students. Instead, it temporarily shifted the students' target from Ruchel to Light, but that didn't last long.

"…"

Ban Yu-won thought as he looked at Ruchel, whose ears reddened, and Light, who was furious at seeing Ruchel like that. If someone who didn't know the circumstances saw them, they would think he was a boy trying to protect the girl he had a crush on. And Ruchel and Light were both good-looking, so they suited each other even more.

'But Light must be genuinely angry at those words. He's a really unique kid.'

Ban Yu-won poked Light, acting like he was about to get up again.

"Ban, are you going to stop me?"

"I don't like meaningless actions."

"You…!"

He was staring at him with a sad expression as if to say, 'I didn't think that even you would do this,' but expecting something special from someone you've just met was only troublesome for Ban Yu-won. Moreover, Ban Yu-won didn't like fighting head-on. With his natural ability, he liked to use words if he could, and even if that didn't work, he preferred non-violent methods.

Like this.

"Look at this and calm down."

"?"

What Ban Yu-won held out to Light was a crystal smaller than his palm…it was the mirror. On the mirror's screen, the academy's intranet, a live broadcast, was captured. Light, who instinctively looked at the screen, was stunned.

What was being broadcast was the scenery of this classroom right now. That, too…it had been focusing on shooting places close to the boys swearing at Ruchel and Light. It was truly clever real-time editing.

"What, what is this…?"

"It's best to respond equally to those who talk cowardly from behind."

Ban Yu-won showed Light the comments in real-time during her live broadcast. Of course, most of them were seniors, and they only paid attention to the fact that they were uttering vulgar obscenities, as they didn't know that the ones they were swearing at were students of the lower-level special type.

"They're really mad at them."

Dok Go-yeon, with her head sticking out from behind Ban Yu-won, looked at the screen and spoke with a smile on her lips. Ban Yu-won turned back to Light.

"I learned it in the morning, but the academy students check the intranet very often. So, I thought it was worth a try."

"Of course, if they knew they were swearing at the students of the lower-level special type, these people wouldn't be this mad. But the focus of the broadcast is only on those guys and their voices."

"From the point of view of the people watching it, it would indeed be better to focus only on the bullies."

"Besides, they are ranting unilaterally. Even if they knew that the ones those guys are bullying are lower-dimension students, only a few people would take their side."

Only a few didn't mean that there were none. However, another advantage here was that those guys were mainly talking about sexual abuse. Leaving the lower and higher dimensions aside, girls had to get angry with this. Even Professors would be watching this video, and if this didn't get deleted, it would spread throughout the school.

"Then what could happen to them? I guarantee you won't have to deal with them anymore."

"But you, how did you…."

"Shh."

At that point, the live broadcast was stopped. Light's jaw dropped at the sight of Eve coiled up on Ban Yu-won's shoulder, a small camera in the snake's mouth.

"You really don't have enough training. Didn't you notice it moving right next to you?"

Even though Dok Go-yeon looked through Eve's movements, Light couldn't reply. But he didn't seem that upset.

"I didn't see it wrong. Ban…I'm so glad you are the class leader."

"What the heck? You won't get anything even if you praise me."

"Ah, uh. Thanks…."

Ruchel, who realized the situation late, lowered her head, blinking her big eyes like a puppy. Ban Yu-won just looked at her and smiled.

"I am not strong yet. So I had prepared a couple of things."

"But aren't you going to get scolded? Live broadcast during classes…."

"Look at the title."

Ban Yu-won pointed to the posting title on the screen, which was written 'Class Recording_Union History_01'. No matter how ignorant Light was about the Internet, he could notice the intention of this title.

"Your excuse will be that you recorded the class to review later, but then you clicked something wrong, and it went live broadcast!"

"Bingo. It is an excuse that can only be used for first graders. In fact, it's a flimsy excuse, and I might still be penalized, but it doesn't matter."

If nothing serious happened, Yoo Mina could deal with it. After the explanation, Light just looked at Ban Yu-won with admiration. Dok Go-yeon's cross pupils sparkled, but now he was used to this reaction.

Ruchel, who continued to be shy, thanked him, looking straight at his face. He could say that the greatest outcome of this incident was that.

"Hey, hey. It's being broadcast!"

At that moment, one of the people tired of provoking their group saw the uploaded video anonymously on the intranet (Administrators could identify it themselves, but ordinary members, students, could not identify them). He turned pale and informed his friends.

"What? Huh? What! What is this?! Who shot this?! "

"Huh?"

Naturally, the students, who saw that they were being hated in the hundreds of comments, screamed and glared around them. But what could they do? The video was already online, and the only one that saw Eve moving was Dok Go-yeon.

"Students, you really don't have a good class attitude. You guys are the ones that were talking loud before, right? Give your name and affiliation. I have to talk to your Professor!"

Their bold behavior provoked the old Professor into action.

"Yes? No, Professor. It's not that, this video…."

"Video? You were on the intranet during class!"

"It's not that, but someone took a video…."

"No, you idiot!"

"Oh!"

Wasn't he confessing his own crime?!

Ban Yu-won expected it from the moment they started bullying them, but it seemed that people weren't more mature just because they were from higher dimensions. He snorted and watched them.

'Indeed, the criteria for selecting a general candidate for general screening are pure in the order of power, so no matter how many gems they've chosen before from that dimension, it doesn't prove their personality.'

Light spoke as if he had guessed what was in Ban Yu-won's mind.

"The higher dimension is just a world that evolves faster than the lower dimension, leading to a world rich in resources and mana. But they think they are special just because they were born in such a world…."

"It can be faster than in a world where mana is insufficient. But there is no weight on the power that is easily gained. They don't know that they were just lucky, so they will eventually fall on their faces."

For the first time, Dok Go-yeon sympathized with Light. Although, rather than sympathy, it was just that her thoughts naturally came out of her mouth. After talking, the two looked at each other, then scoffed and turned their heads.

In the meantime, the Professor, who checked the video on the intranet and saw what they had said in his class, was so angry that he couldn't keep still.

"You can't watch my classes from now on! I will give you an F in all the classes you have taken throughout the year! I'll have a very serious conversation with your Professor about this, so be aware. What are you doing? Get out!"

"But Professor, they are just garbage, I mean, from the lower dimensions…."

"I said get out!"

As he shouted, the closed window swung open with a strong gust of wind. Then, before anyone could do anything else, the students who were bullying Ban Yu-won's group were thrown out the window!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ban Yu-won shuddered as he heard the screams of the distant boys. They wouldn't die, but…they would be stuck eating porridge for a while.

"Whoa."

"I guess we can't see the Assistant Professors lightly either…."

"Ruchel, Light, is this enough?"

Ruchel and Light just nodded.

Since that day, the attitudes of the students taking Union's history classes improved. It had to improve if they didn't want to fly out of the window.

Chapter 17

Lesson 4. Rebellion -5

It was unexpected, but the ultimate goal of Union Academy was to send students into the Tower and create a god in them. In a few words, it was an academy that created students to nurture God. Therefore, students had to take lectures related to culture, politics, and diplomacy, and in summary, be generally educated in addition to the extremely practical classes necessary to conquer the Tower. In addition to the real battle class, lectures included weapons, magic, exploration, and special environmental response.

The characteristic of these lectures in the gym or training grounds was that it was easy to get provoked as it was a time to actively move.

"Hey, you, the pretty guy. Come here."

Indeed, following the first day of the semester, the second day, Wednesday, was time for the Basic Weapon Squadron class. In this class, which was only held for freshmen, students could take some free time to try their hand at various weapons and find one that suited their aptitude in the presence of a Professor.

"Can't you hear me?"

"Hmm?"

Light frowned at the voice containing Magic Power and raised his head. A boy from class 5 was aiming his sword, a real sword, toward Light.

"What do you want?"

"Come here and explain in detail what happened yesterday, garbage."

Not only was it rude to point at people with a real sword, but he was resorting to name-calling. It was easy to forget when faced with someone with common sense, like Professor Yoo Mina, but usually, the people from higher dimensions despised those from the lower dimensions.

'Instead of changing their attitude with what happened yesterday, did they only increase their hatred of us? They aren't even teenagers, but do they have to provoke us like that?'

While Ban sighed and envisioned more fundamental measures, Light realized he was being provoked and scoffed.

"Why should I?"

"Ha, bastard. Are you scared?"

"I meant for you to come and politely ask if you have something you want to hear from me, savage."

"What?"

Looking at that pretty face, it was easy to be mistaken, but Light's temper had a short fuse.

"You, a mere being from a lower dimension, dare to call me a savage-."

The moment when the boy stepped forward, something Ban Yu-won wouldn't forget happened. A sword of light appeared in Light's empty hand, and when he pointed it at the boy.

"Ugh?!"

Light. Hero. Warrior. World. Guardian. Forever. Ambition.

The concepts were too heavily layered!

'–What the, he's completely different. Concepts I couldn't even feel…!'

Yes, when he thought about it, he got that feeling from him on the first day they met. Even then, he was holding that glowing sword!

'I thought his way of talking was strangely ancient, but it wasn't like that since the entrance ceremony. Is it because of that sword? '

Ban Yu-won withdrew, feeling terrible that something was out of place. So how was the boy who had to take that energy head-on? He was struggling, unable to approach or step back, and he wanted to move, but he staggered and gave up.

"Are you learning to walk? Why are you so slow?"

"You-"

Light, his pressure overwhelming, taunted his foe. The boy clenched his teeth and took another step to reach Light. At that moment, he looked to be bowing to Light with his posture bent, unable to stand.

"Did you come to greet me? Hello. You can go now."

"How dare this inferior…insect!"

It was that moment.

The boy, overcoming the pressure, raised his head and swung the sword in his hand at Light!

"Hmph."

"Ugh?!"

When Light swung the sword wrapped in golden light, the trajectory of the sword the boy had swung diverted and stuck to the glowing blade. The boy sat on the floor groaning, clasping at his arm while the sword was moving on its own. Light, looking at him as if he was looking at trash, scoffed and raised his head.

"Professor."

People have been paying attention to them since the beginning, anyway. Light might have intended to humiliate them, but now he looked at the Professor, who was ignoring the situation.

"How does the academy evaluate a student that suddenly charges their fellow with a real sword?"

"Ahem, our academy recommends practical sparring,"

"I never agreed to fight him."

His tone was as sharp as his sword. While Ban Yu-won sighed, the Professor scolded Light.

"But you can't deny that you first released your energy."

"Indeed, then, how is the verbal abuse this man uttered at me treated?"

"Hmm? Haha, I'm sorry, but I didn't hear that…."

Light's expression became even scarier at the Professor's obvious lie. The sword of light in his hands emitted a brighter glare than before. A deeper, more violent concept was about to pop out.

"You're a fool."

"Ugh?!"

Before they knew it, Dok Go-yeon appeared in front of Light and flicked his forehead.

"Dok Go-yeon, you…! "

"Why are you acting so proud when you're at the mercy of the sword?"

"…Ah!"

At her thundering cry, Light returned to his senses and dropped the sword in his hands. It melted into the air and disappeared, and the boy's sword that clung to it clanged against the ground.

"What was that just now?"

"What just happened? Very huge energy…."

The gaze of everyone, including the Professor, was focused on them. Ban Yu-won sighed, thinking about how they could escape this situation.

'As expected, Light was the biggest bomb….'

* * *

"You know, at this rate, I don't think we'll be favored during our days in the academy."

"You say that now?!"

Light was astonished at Ban Yu-won's comment while eating fried rice at lunch. But Ban Yu-won smiled and replied.

"The problem you caused earlier was bigger, you know? I know you were about to fight with the Professor if Dok Go-yeon hadn't stopped you, and there was a way to solve it smoothly."

"That…but, smoothly? How could I solve that smoothly?"

"Haah."

Ban Yu-won sighed as he looked at Light, who seemed to haven't understood.

"Instead of humiliating him, not letting him get near you with that pressure, you could've just fought."

"It's not worth it to swing a sword against that fool."

"It's just sparring. When that bastard provoked you earlier, you could've told him to ask for a fight through the Professor instead of reacting to him."

"What's the difference?"

"You can step on him without using that bothersome method."

Light flinched under Ban Yu-won's cold eyes. No matter how fast he was growing, Light knew he was far from getting close to him, so he couldn't understand why he was intimidated by Ban Yu-won's energy.

"I don't know why you chose that way even though you're strong. Why did you have to question the Professor there? You should have just dragged him into an official fight. The Professor also said it, right? Practical battles are recommended."

"That's because I remembered what you showed me yesterday, so I tried to solve the situation without using violence…."

"So you almost stumbled into a more violent situation as a result. It's okay if it's with a student, but if you get involved with a Professor, that'll be real trouble."

"Ugh…"

He decided not to delve too deeply into the strange changes caused by holding that sword. Ban Yu-won didn't think Light would tell if he asked. However, it would be troublesome if it continued like this.

Ban Yu-won gave him a serious look and asked.

"Light, I wish you could be honest with me. That power is controllable, right?"

"O-Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have passed the entrance exam. I was angry at the Professor earlier, so I inadvertently…it's just that I hate lies."

Light avoided his gaze and lowered his head slightly in response, revealing an elegant neckline below his soft, curving blonde hair. Excessively elegant.

"You hate lies."

"…Yes."

He resisted the desire to snort. Ban Yu-won and Light weren't close enough to confide in each other the truth, so it was rude to question him any further. He had no choice but to be satisfied with this today.

"I'll trust that you can control it, okay?"

"Trust me. There will never be another nuisance like today."

"I'm glad you know it was a nuisance. It was great to see him being swayed by an artifact."

Dok Go-yeon, who was happily eating a spoonful of the jam Ban Yu-won had given her with the yogurt that came out for dessert, heard this and sarcastically responded.

"By the way, Ban Yu-won."

The cross pupils turned upon Ban Yu-won.

"You're thinking of something for all of us, right?"

"How did you know?"

"I am trying to understand you."

That's why you're scary! But now was the time to get over Dok Go-yeon's creepiness, staring at him, and get to the matter at hand.

"Why don't we create our own channel?"

"Channel?"

"A video channel on the intranet. We used it yesterday, didn't we?"

"Didn't you say we would use it only when we had no power?"

"Yeah, but I'm already going with the flow."

After eating all of the fried rice, Ban Yu-won took a sip of the colorless carbonated beverage that could be drawn infinitely from the water purifier, pushed it away, and decided to eat yogurt like Dok Go-yeon.

Ruchel had already put her head down in the yogurt with jam, but her ears were perked up to listen to Ban Yu-won. That was cute.

"That's how things are. Once we have asserted the rules, others will try to accuse us similarly. In other words, they will tackle every single action we take. As if to challenge us, 'Are you so good at obeying the law? I'll be watching you!'"

"Hmmmm."

Dok Go-yeon nodded.

"At that time, there will be a limit to the position that we can secure simply with force. Oh, except for you, Dok Go-yeon, and I'm talking about the position of all of us."

"I got it, so go on."

"In preparation for that, I felt the need to create our image. Not only does it make it impossible to underestimate our individual abilities, but it also serves to secure emotional sympathy with an unspecified number of people in advance to prevent those who hate us from attacking us."

It could be said to be a very common art of living in Korea or the Earth, building a fictitious good image to raise awareness of the person and to give trust to their words and actions. This was what chaebols or members of the National Assembly intended when they deliberately used the subway or took pictures of them wearing shoes with the soles off. Although it was trying to deceive the public with transparent guile, it was actually very effective.

"Got it."

"What are you talking about?"

"I-I don't know."

Contrary to Dok Go-yeon, who quickly grasped it, Light and Ruchel tilted their heads.

"In a nutshell, it's about making the Academy officials feel friendly to us. Maybe something like this is also in the Academy's curriculum?"

"If that were possible, those things wouldn't have happened yesterday or today!"

"Indeed, learning and practicing are two different things."

But Ban Yu-won was confident. In the past few days, looking around the Internet of this world (of course, besides the intranet, there was an internet communication network that most people used in this dimension), Ban Yu-won realized that the media in this world wasn't so developed compared to Earth. Thinking about it carefully, it was natural since Union was the highest-level dimension, and there were too many interesting elements to focus on instead, such as dungeons, the Tower, real gods, and so on.

'In other words, since the Earth has been stagnant for a long time without obtaining Magic Power, it can be said that the only way to attract people's interest is the abnormally developed world.'

And Ban Yu-won was a favorite of modern civilization. It was embarrassing to say this, but his language comprehension wasn't just at the level of understanding and handling language well. He also had a natural talent for processing language to create interesting things.

"You just have to give me the right to film you. I'll take care of all the rest. From now on, we're building a solid image of ourselves in this academy and this dimension. So that no one looking down on people from a lower dimension can say anything to us."

"How are you so confident? Of course, I don't mean to ignore your abilities…."

"The first is our appearance."

As if Ban Yu-won was waiting for Light's point, who was still ignorant, he responded:

"The three of you, your faces aren't bad to look at. Of course, I don't have an ugly face either."

"I-I think you're handsome. Very…."

"No, I'm not."

Ban Yu-won scratched his cheek at Ruchel's sudden compliment and continued.

"The most powerful factor that attracts people's attention is their appearance. I wondered if that wouldn't work since the culture is different or the dimension is different, but that's not the case. With this alone, the basic conditions have already been passed."

"The second is the skills, right?"

"Bingo. In the end, the most important thing here is a skill. If everyone can accurately recognize our abilities, there will be no needless fights in the future. I still lack a bit, but I'll catch up quickly, so don't worry."

"Fufu."

Dok Go-yeon laughed meaningfully. Maybe it was because she noticed that Ban Yu-won had changed quite a bit today compared to yesterday.

When convinced that everyone was listening to him seriously, Ban Yu-won sighed.

"Actually, I figured we won't be able to take our classes easy if it goes on like this, so I came up with a special measure. I don't have enough time, so I can't be held up with those provocations."

"Ban Yu-won, don't fret. It's fast enough now."

"Thank you."

Ban Yu-won smiled.

"Anyway, if we have a channel, we won't lose anything. First, let's decide on a name. Actually, I thought of many good names to attract attention, but I still have to get your consent…."

But he shouldn't have said that. At the word 'name', even Ruchel, who had been quiet, raised her head, and Light and Dok Go-yeon began to frantically spit out candidates.

But collectively decided, their channel name was Rebellion (Treason). Everyone wondered why it had become a name overflowing with so many teenage feelings, but it was the only one they all agreed on.

Ban Yu-won despaired that they wouldn't be able to attract anyone's attention with such a name, but the channel managed to secure 100 subscribers on the intranet within that day. In the same way, the channel they opened on a video site got a whopping 1,000 subscribers!

…Maybe the first video on the channel, where Dok Go-yeon beat on Light, was too effective.

Why Did I Have to Enroll

Chapter 18

Lesson 5. The Tower is one-way – 1

[You stole 0.1 Devil, 0.05 Life, 0.03 Physique, and 0.2 Archery from the Goblin Archer.]

Thursday after school, outside the dungeon, Ban Yu-won examined the amount of concept absorbed from the Goblin he had just killed.

'As expected, I wasn't mistaken. It decreased.'

When Ban Yu-won's concept of Life exceeded 50, the efficiency of absorbing the Goblin's Life was halved again. Nevertheless, the Goblins still had concepts of decent quantity and quality, so he worked hard on Tuesday and Wednesday to the extent that he conquered two or three dungeons a day. But today, not only general Goblins but also the Warriors and Archers gave less.

'Maybe this is…is it because I got too many concepts from the Goblins?'

He thought the Babylonian Code had no limits, but he was mistaken. Having already killed many Goblins and collected concepts, it was a natural change for them to gradually decrease. If he compared it to a game, it could be said, 'If you kill a lot of the same monsters, the experience points you get will decrease.'

"I think it will become zero at some point."

Ban Yu-won cleaned up the scene, sighed, and read his body's code.

[Life: 99.74

Physique: 66.21

Soul: 334.8

Magic Power: 75.36

Martial Arts 49 [Swordsmanship 27, Sewing 22]

Leadership: 6

Riding: 15 ― The ability to control horses, cars, and other vehicles.

Complete Sight: 110

Complete Hearing:100

Complete Speaking: 102]

After three days of classes, his code showed the results of his diligent efforts. Of course, Life was the one that developed the most, but Ban Yu-won was prouder of his Magic Power and Martial Arts. This was because these two codes had grown by themselves more than he had absorbed them from the Goblins.

'Especially Martial Arts. Every time I stab, Swordsmanship grows along with Sewing.'

To put it bluntly, the Goblins' combat skills were poor. Zatoichi, no, the Blind Goblin Warrior he met in the first practical evaluation dungeon, was at the most respectable level. In the other dungeons, most bosses were just these Hobgoblins with regular Goblins. Fortunately, one of Eve's core concepts, the Wicked Beast, grew to 18 thanks to the Hobgoblin's unique code.

"I may have to try another dungeon soon. Is it okay, Eve?"

"Shhhhhhhhh."

Eve reassured him that, despite Ban Yu-won's concerns, there might be many monsters with the concept of Wicked if he went to a higher dungeon.

"…Yes, tomorrow is the day we enter the Tower, so let's go through one more dungeon. From the beginning, the goal is to gain more than 100 Life."

"Shhhh."

"Do you want to go on a drive? Okay. We have some time left, and it wouldn't be bad to improve my riding skills."

The vehicle Eve was talking about was, of course, the hoverbike Onyx he had bought on Monday. The qualification exam? He passed easily. It was thanks to absorbing the concept of Riding from a very old saddle among the relics that his grandfather brought him! As a result, Ban Yu-won could handle the bike like it was part of his own body and even grew the concept by three.

"And I'm going to do that too. I've promised you, right? I would make younger siblings for you if your Spirit Weapon reached 30."

"Shhhhhh."

"Great. Then let's go."

As a result of experimenting for a few days, Ban Yu-won realized that the effect of a concept increased greatly with each increment of 10, so he decided to grow Eve's core concept to 30. Currently, it is 29.5. No matter how little the Goblins offered now, there was no way that he couldn't collect this much.

* * *

"Human, I will curse you…!"

"Yeah, sure you are. I know you don't have the concept of Curse."

Ban Yu-won's sword pierced the Hobgoblin's neck. When he turned around, the hundreds of Goblin corpses were already dissolving, and each one was slain by a sword. Ban Yu-won, who could now deal with the Goblins without difficulty, decided to get hands-on experience clearing the boss room.

"I still don't feel it. I guess it would be right to stop now."

To think it was only a few days ago he was struggling to survive. He reached out his hand and absorbed the codes from the corpses.

[You can no longer absorb the concept of Life from the Goblin species.]

As expected, when his Life passed 100, that message appeared along with a feeling of tightness in his body. He absorbed the Life of the Hobgoblin that was still valid, reached 101, and inspected himself.

"Um, hmmm…!"

He couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. However, a strange sense of upliftment swirled around him. What should he say about this feeling? Confidence? Or presence? Yes, it was a feeling that convinced him that he had a bigger role in the world.

"Raise yourself, lower your enemies. So that's what it is."

Visible growth was fun. He could see why people were so obsessed with the status window. Ban Yu-won smiled at this new sense of pleasure.

"Shhhh."

"I'll give you the rest of the Life, so wait. No, I'll leave your sibling's share…."

Eve, too, was able to grow by gaining Life. Although since it was able to grow Life on its own, of course, Ban Yu-won wasn't able to give Life over directly, and it couldn't go higher than the depth of the Devil, which was its first core concept.

"Okay, are you done with this?"

It ate up not only the Hobgoblin but also the other Goblins and their weapons. Only after coming out of the dungeon did Ban Yu-won start today's plan.

"Onyx."

The streamlined black motorcycle didn't respond to Ban Yu-won's call since it was a normal hoverbike. But that would soon change.

Didn't Ban Yu-won already have experience in bringing things to life?

"However, it has better compatibility since you were a club…all right, let's get insurance."

Ban Yu-won drew several concepts from his Code Core.

Implanting Spirit into any object didn't make it an artifact. Just as the Goblin Club inhabited a club-shaped object, it was necessary to carefully examine the compatibility between objects and concepts and their combinations. Still, he had been thinking about synthesizing concepts for a few days, so he organized how to successfully turn this bike into an artifact.

Today's core concept was Wicked.

"I'm sorry I couldn't give you everything, Eve."

"Shhh, shhhh."

Eve wrapped up his arm, telling him not to worry. Ban Yu-won gently stroked the snake's head, then looked at the hoverbike.

[Floating Car 30, Magic Core 30, Speed 30, Magic Resistance 20, Hardening 10]

Floating Car literally meant a flying car, and the Magic Core was the Mana core that drove this motorcycle, just like a dungeon core. Speed was the movement ability given by the motorcycle's design, and Magic Resistance was probably related to the ability to resist the magic waves of the dungeon…and lastly, Hardening was probably a function of the motorcycle's reinforced front fender.

"Leave Floating Car as it is. Speed and Hardening are good for now. The important thing is…haah."

It was the Magic Core.

The thought that a 3.2 million Ronia worth hoverbike would be wasted if he made a mistake made even Ban Yu-won nervous. But if he took a step back, he would miss the opportunity to grow as the master of the Babylonian Code.

There were times when you had to push ahead and risk failure. That was right now!

"Separate Magic and Core, and synthesize 2 Wicked and 5 Spirit with them, respectively."

With one hand, he touched the motorcycle and split the Magic Core in half, and with his other hand, he injected Wicked and Spirit to combine Wicked with Magic and Spirit inside the Core. The moment the concept of the Magic Core was split, the motorcycle vibrated terribly as if it might explode.

But the next moment, the synthesis started, and Ban Yu-won stepped back to watch.

"Please, please work…!"

At that moment, an unusual pattern engraved itself on the motorcycle's Mana core, burning red and emitting smoke.

[Hoverbike Onyx Core 15 was combined with Spirit 5. It is a concept that cannot be synthesized.]

[Hoverbike Onyx's Magic 15 was combined with Wicked 2. Due to the perfect compatibility, transcendental synthesis was completed, and Wicked Magic 20 was completed!]

[Due to the presence of Wicked Magic, the synthesis of Core 15 and Spirit 5 was successful. Spirit Core 20 was completed! Wicked Magic resides in the Spirit Core and provides power. You have succeeded in creating a higher-level artifact!]

He did it!

[Due to the excellent expression of abilities, the depth of Complete Sight, Complete Hearing, and Complete Speaking increased by 5 each!

[The depth of Life has been increased to 110.]

[The depth of Magic Power has been increased to 82.]

[The depth of Soul has been increased to 340.]

"Whoa."

Due to the completion of the artifact, his abilities had also grown significantly. It was different from when he created the Goblin Club accidentally. This was possible because he thought deeply about the concept of language.

"You are Lilith."

-Vrooom

The first was Eve, so the second was Lilith. It was a weird name to give a motorcycle, but the engine rumbled with delight.

But it wasn't over yet. Ban Yu-won also gave it 1 Life, 1 Soul, and, as a bonus, a collection of Sharpness drawn from many knives. It could even attack with the front fender, so there was no harm in making it sharper. And what was born as a result was…

[Floating Car 30, Magic Resistance 20, Spirit Core 20, Life 1, Soul 1, Speed 30, Magic Resistance 20, Hardening 10, Sharpness 20]

Instead of analyzing the flow of the completed code, Ban Yu-won patted Lilith's handle and asked.

"Hmm…you don't need Magic Resistance anymore, do you?"

-Vroooom

It rang the engine in affirmation.

Why was Magic Resistance necessary? Why did machines, or magical tools, break down in places like dungeons? That was because the refined magic inside the magic tool was shaken by the magic wave of the dungeon and ran wild until the internal structure was destroyed.

This was prevented by giving magic tools the ability to resist magic or making those that moved and controlled their own magic, like Eve and Lilith. In other words, Artifacts were unaffected by the dungeon.

'So, this guy will be able to enter the dungeons from now on, and of course the Tower….'

Ban Yu-won suddenly thought about his student ID card. This was a magic tool, but why had it been fine in the dungeons so far? He didn't know the internal structure of the student ID because the analysis hadn't been completed yet. But once it was, he knew his abilities would grow once more.

'For now, let's take out Magic Resistance. Can it be divided into Magic and Resistance? I don't think so.'

However, it was possible to extract only the Resistance from the Magic Resistance, but the conversion rate was atrocious.

Ban Yu-won became confused when he saw that the 20 Magic Resistance turned into only 1.

"For now…should I keep it with me?"

He put it into his body.

[You have gained 1 Resistance. You gained resistance to all negativity.]

But, surprisingly, it made a huge difference. Not only did his body and mental strength become stronger, but he also felt the power gathering somewhere in his body.

"Is it because it is a concept that can be applied regardless of body and mind? This was a huge benefit."

It was enough that Ban Yu-won considered selling the rest of the gold ingots and buying a dozen more motorcycles to take their Resistance, but he shook his head. If he searched, he would surely find more objects with the concept of Resistance.

"Then let's go on a drive, Eve asked."

"Shhhhhh."

He got on Lilith with Eve wrapped around his arm and acting cute. Although there was no change in appearance, it felt strangely comfortable, like Lilith softly embraced him.

'I can't just go around talking about it. I'll be treated like a madman.'

"But it's not enough if only the ride quality is good. Then…shall we fly?"

-Vroooooom!

At that moment, Lilith accelerated even though Ban Yu-won didn't start the engine, at a markedly different rate from yesterday, even faster than the top speed he'd experienced before!

Ban Yu-won grabbed the steering wheel before he fell off.

'This is so cool…!'

His flying over the past three days was just a joke compared to this. Now, Ban Yu-won was truly galloping through the sky! However, at that moment, he flew so high that he could see a part of the floating island where the academy was located.

He noticed a black shimmer near the huge tower that strictly controlled students' entry into the Tower of Babel.

Maybe he had seen it wrong. It would be easier if he thought about it that way, but Ban Yu-won couldn't help but grumble.

"Something is sure to happen tomorrow…."

He decided to consult with Yoo Mina first. He was a man who never overlooked trivial events, after all.

And the next day, the day to enter the Tower of Babel finally arrived.
