Taking admission for nothing (152)
Lesson 31. Originally, the last spoonful is the most annoying – 2
Monday of the 15th week.
Finally, the curtain on the last tower exploration of the first semester and the first long-term exploration has risen.
Just like when they first entered the pagoda, all the students flocked to the hill where the pagoda was located, and everyone was excited as if they were having a festival.
“It’s a chance to make up for the one-semester fall behind.”
“Wouldn’t that make a bigger difference?”
“In case you didn’t know, the top team could retire in the middle.”
“Are you stupid? The top two tops in the first year have never retired.”
“What about Rebellion?”
“They are….”
This time, they might overtake Aire’s solo team and Russein Ortima’s team.
Until the final exam season, anyone who watched the tower exploration video of the Rebellion Channel, which was updated every week, had that thought.
Their exploration was unusual from the beginning.
Although progress is on the slow side, even Aire, who is currently leading the freshman year alone by breaking through to room 107 with incredible momentum, has only experienced trick rooms twice since he was on the lower floors, and even went through chains several times. Didn’t he skillfully break through to the room?
Even the progress, which was the only drawback, reached 80 rooms with a breakthrough like a rage from the 10th week, and was ranked 3rd after the Ortima team, which is currently in the process of 94 rooms, overtaking all other teams.
“But they are particularly tough. Maybe it will get harder and harder?”
“I don’t know if that’s why they grow faster. Maybe the really low dimensional team will be the top of the grade…”
“Did you see this report?”
“saw. I was roughly expecting it, but I couldn’t believe that even the seniors would change like that.”
“I should have gone on a trip to the Union, too.”
Ban Yu-won put on a puzzled expression as he listened to the people’s whispers.
“Looks like you’re just clearing things up.”
“calculate?”
While playing the game, there are times when you can see settlement details such as reports such as how many levels have risen, how many achievements have been achieved, and what to do for future goals in the form of an interim settlement.
Ban Yu-won gave an appropriate explanation to the members who did not know the game.
“I mean, even people who don’t know anything about us will be able to learn more about us if they come here now.”
“So you don’t like it?”
Ban Yoo-won snorted at Dok-go-yeon’s question and shook his head.
“Not enough yet. In the first place, the first year’s reaction was natural and out of the question.”
“That worm over there doesn’t seem to think so.”
When I turned my head at Dokgoyeon’s words, Lucein Ortima was looking at them with especially sticky and hot eyes.
If there were police, I would have wanted to report it right away.
“It’s probably because of the conversation we had last time we sparred.”
“What did you say?”
“When I say I’m learning the sword from you, you say I’m not qualified, so you keep glorifying your past behavior and talking about you as if you were yours.”
He had gotten used to the arrogant tone unique to those from higher dimensions, but Ortima was over the top.
Moreover, to decide the future of Dokgo-yeon, who is not anyone else, is to the extent that he does not know how to do it.
“so?”
“So I tried to bring myself to my senses, but like people who are exposed to the truth do, they just got more angry.”
“Hmm… It’s a common thing. And again?”
“Other than that, I lost this time, but I’ll win next time… You know what losers often say.”
To what Ban Yu-won said while shrugging his shoulders, Dok-go-yeon replied incredulously.
“At best, I kept my form. You don’t think to wrap yourself up.”
“This is an advanced packaging, but you still don’t know what it is.”
In the end, Dok-go-yeon burst into laughter, albeit a small one.
And Ortima’s gaze became doubly hot.
“I’m bored to death, really. Dok-go-yeon, you do something.”
“I’d like to take care of it myself… but it looks like the problem is out of my hands.”
“Eh.”
Do you think the world’s Dokgoyeon shirks responsibility?
When Ban Yu-Won’s eyes widened, she let out a sigh and shook her head.
“I guess you haven’t realized it yet, half-yuwon.”
“what?”
“That’s what Dokgo-yeon wants to say right now.”
For some reason, Ruchel answered with narrow eyes and let out poison.
“It means that no matter what Dok-go-yeon says, that man regards Yoo-won as his rival.”
“Yeah, I was guessing about that…”
“So how about it in reality? Could it be that Dokgo Yeon was induced?”
“It can’t be. Why am I so afraid of a man like that that I have to use Banyuwon as my shield?”
Dokgoyeon, who responded with a calm expression to Ruchel, who glared at him, looked at Ban Yu-won and twisted his lips into a smile.
“Banyuwon is just trying to protect me by stepping out on his own. … cutely.”
“What, when did I want you–”
Ban Yu-won, who tried to deny Dok-go-yeon’s ridiculous accusations by raising his voice, suddenly flashed through his mind the conversation he had had with Ortima the other day.
How did he respond to the words of Ortima, who treated him as a lover and was jealous and passionate?
Did he even say something that seemed to deny his relationship with Dokgo-yeon in the first place?
‘I didn’t. In the first place, I hate it when strangers who don’t know anything arbitrarily judge the relationship between me and others. … what? Then there’s nothing wrong with misunderstanding, right?’
A conclusion has been drawn.
Ban Yu-Won nodded.
“It was only natural to be misunderstood.”
“Yes?”
“Something… I don’t understand. I’m always trying to get closer to Yoo-won, but Dok-go-yeon seems to be stepping in the line without even realizing it…!”
“Will you stop dragging me into a relationship? …and you tend to let your instincts run wild, so restrain yourself.”
After a long time, the party heads for the tower while having a conversation that smells of youth.
Not too long ago, the most recognizable Rebellion team among the first graders entered the tower first, but now, as in other grades, the team that climbed the top first entered the tower in order.
Aire entered first, and Ortima team, who had been staring at Banyuwon until the end, entered secondly.
Their order is third. As always, Yumina stood at the tower entrance to greet them.
“Please be mindful of safety. The intruders’ activity has been quiet… but the tower always strikes back when you’re most careless.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Before entering the tower, as always, we make eye contact with the group once.
Only Light was embarrassed and avoided his gaze, but it had been like this since yesterday, so it should be okay.
“Wait. Why is Wright like this again? Amusement Park, perhaps…”
“Well, the Light student invited only the Class Amusement students to his dimension! How bold!”
“professor?!”
At the end, Yumina detonated a large bomb, destroying the serious atmosphere.
…on purpose?
* * *
Ruchel was quite shocked by the fact that Dok-go-yeon and Light were secretly leaving the anti-yuwon and progress without her knowledge. did.
“Now that it’s like this, I’m sure that no one can catch up with me this vacation…!”
―Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
“Oh.”
Ban Yu-Won only let out a low sigh at the majesty of Ruchel, who sprinted with thunderbolts all over her body and smashed all the monsters in front of her.
“hmm.”
On the other hand, Dok-go-yeon tilted his head as he placed the corpse of a new type of monster that started appearing on this floor in front of his eyes.
“Are these bodies made entirely of iron?”
“First of all, it is certain that the base is a bug. Ugh… I’d rather just wear a carapace, and the contents are animals, so it was okay.”
Light cowers with a pitiful voice as if he hates bugs.
On the other hand, Banyuwon already knew the identity of the monsters as much as he could analyze the concept.
“It’s an armored insect.”
“Armored? Is it like a carapace?”
“Dala machine armor. It’s not just iron, it means it has firepower. In the case of these guys…”
The monster that appeared on the 84th floor looked like a ladybug, but the part corresponding to the scab was covered with metal and boasted a smooth luster.
Its attack pattern is extremely simple, just turning its body and charging forward.
However, the rotation speed and charge speed were frightening, so there was a possibility that they would be crushed if they collided head-on.
However, they were causing malfunctions by stopping rotation or colliding with each other before they even approached the party, and that was one reason.
It is because of the overwhelming current that Ruchel, who runs in the lead, radiates.
“Look, even now, since Ruchel is still spewing lightning, the machine burns and stops spinning, right? In other words, they gained the ability to spin with machines.”
“Why is it more efficient than destroying it directly with my inner energy?”
Earthlings are accustomed to the fact that machines break down when too much current is passed through, but it is no joke to explain this to someone from another dimension.
gave up on it
“I just think it’s like that. Anyway, thanks to Ruchel, I know how to attack, so that’s a good thing.”
For Dokgo-yeon, who was not convinced, Ban Yu-won activated elemental magic and verbal magic at the same time.
He created the magical power of lightning with elemental magic, used verbal magic, and endowed Dokgoyeon and Light’s weapons, or enchanted them.
Ban Yu-Won did not have to use magic, and when he activated the prayer sword, it was possible to immediately replace the overflowing dizziness with thunderbolt.
“You’re getting more and more versatile.”
Dokgoyeon, who was appreciating the menacing current flowing over his shortsword with interest, replied confidently to Dokgoyeon’s words.
“I’ve been focusing on martial arts ever since, Master.”
“So, how much time do we have left until the Hyeonshin Gong is completed?”
“…”
I can’t answer.
Apparently, I feel that I am almost there.
You just need to go one step further.
Why can’t I get there?
“Until this exploration is over, somehow…”
“If you encounter a strong enemy, there will be opportunities for growth.”
“Ah… Yuwon!”
At that time, Ruchel, who was raging harder than anyone else and sweeping away the armored insects, called the name of Banyuwon.
“Something strange came out of the elite monsters!”
“I didn’t even know there was an elite monster.”
“Apart from their strength, they are so fast that I can’t even chase them.”
“Because it is a beast.”
Looking around, the entire 84 rooms were over, with no reward for using the Lightning Enchantment.
Had it not been for Ruchel meeting Ban Yu-Won and abstaining from this comprehensive evaluation match, the ranking would have been different from now…
“But I’m sorry Yu-Won.”
“what?”
“Because I didn’t know what was inside and destroyed it along with the monsters…”
“Ah.”
Soon, Ruchel approached the group with a piece of trash, a very delicate mechanical device.
From the looks of it, it seemed to be a key part that drives something huge.
“I’m really sorry…”
“It’s okay, Lucille. It was bad that we left it only to you in the first place. Besides, no matter how the tower rolls, there is a way to move forward.”
Ban Yu-Won, who received the garbage, reassured Ruchel, who looked at him with an expression that looked like she was going to cry at any moment, and examined it closely.
However, what I was able to know additionally was that there was no way to do this, at least with the ability of Banyuwon now.
and.
“What shift?”
“I guess it happened automatically without having to look for another way. Maybe it closed the possibility of a chain room… hmm?”
―You must block 10 attacks without damaging your allies.
―All machines in this space have twice the capacity.
…It is said that the chain of 11 chain rooms in total was started due to Ruchel’s destruction of the mechanical device.
