Lesson 3. This is your pet – 4
Yumina asked him to find a city if there was a road near the dungeon, but she didn’t say anything to him. I realized it as soon as I came out.
“Wouldn’t that president be the ruler of the human world?”
“Shh heh heh.”
The exit of the dungeon he came out of was in the form of a very small crypt naturally formed under the mountain, and when he looked around, there were a mountain of such crypts.
It was enough to guess that each one of them was a dungeon, and it was roughly expected that the formation of these dungeons was extremely contrived.
Considering that Union Academy conducts practical evaluations of new students in the dungeon, it was quick to come to the conclusion that it was the principal who took this action.
‘Even if I can’t control the creation of the dungeon, I can specify where the dungeon will be created.’
If you put the dungeons together in one place, it’s easy to get rid of them and manage them in case of emergency.
And, of course, there was a road right after getting out of such a densely populated area of dungeons.
Well, for easy management, it would be better to form a colony where people can easily reach!
“I can even see it right in front of me…”
Tall buildings visible over there, faintly audible noise of civilization.
Even if you go on foot, you will be covered in 30 minutes.
Professor Yumina must have known this from the beginning, and the temple must have been in that city as well.
“It’s easy.”
“huh? Uh…”
Eve squeezed Ban Yu-Won’s arm slightly.
When I gave him a look, he was raising his head to the sky, but when I looked up to where his gaze was heading…
there was a huge island floating there.
It was hard to see because it was floating so high, but even in the middle of it, I could see the shape of the pagoda sticking out in the center.
“You’re sleeping, isn’t that our school?”
“Shhh.”
Ever since Eve got the form of Yosu, Ban Yu-Won has been able to understand the guy’s intentions somewhere.
Apparently, he was looking for the Tower of Babel rising from the ground.
The plain area with few mountains continued, so if there was an academy around here, of course the Tower of Babel had to be seen.
However, it was not visible, and the moment I raised my head full of doubts, it was said that I found that floating island.
“I was fooled. I didn’t know it when I saw it in Professor Yumina’s room…”
There is a high possibility that the line of sight wasn’t good enough or that it was hidden by magic.
In any case, there is nothing in the environment you are in that is not fantasy, so you are full of energy.
As I walked so distracted by the floating island, the city was a stone’s throw away.
He was a semi-amuser who was surprised that a lot of time had already passed, but he hadn’t taken into account his improved physical abilities.
“Wait there! It’s a face I haven’t seen before.”
A person jumped out of a large building installed in the border area between civilization and nature and blocked the sight of Banyuwon.
Before I could hear human voices, Eve turned her body invisible, but apparently her senses were superior to those of Banyuwon.
“oh.”
“Prove your identity! A monster disguised as a human!”
Yuwon Ban exclaimed when he saw the person blocking his way.
He was wearing a suit made of spandex that was tight to the body and a uniquely shaped suit that protected vital parts such as the chest and groin with matte metal parts.
“No man. Union…”
“No, you bastard! You’re a Union Academy student!”
Just as Ban Yu-Won was about to reveal his identity, a person wearing the same suit came out of the building as if chasing him and hit him hard on the head.
Immediately after, while examining Ban Yu-Won’s attire, I saw the decoration with a blue string on his school uniform and very slightly frowned (it was a pattern revealing that it was a special model), but then I checked the brooch on his chest and became very contemplative. salute was raised.
“hello! My name is Milton, the 3rd Guard Chief in charge of the western border of Academy City Lonica!”
“I’m Dallon, the hot post guard…!”
Judging from the reaction that happened to Milton just now, it seems that outsiders know very well what Union Academy’s special entrance students are, and even slightly look down on them, but the brooch Yumina put on herself blows away that prejudice. was
After all, I thought that he couldn’t attach such a precious-looking brooch to me to buy alcohol, but it seems that Professor Yumina strongly recommended him.
Should I be happy with this or should I be prepared for it.
Ban Yu-won held back a sigh that was about to leak out and greeted them.
“Uh… how are you? I am Ban Yu-won, a freshman in Union.”
“How did you come…? If you are a freshman, did you enter today? Maybe officially permission to go out…”
“How can a freshman in the academy come out without permission from the president!”
I don’t know, but I think that Dalon’s head won’t be left after Ban Yu-won leaves.
“Banyuwon-sama, are you on your way after clearing the dungeon?”
“Sir… yes, that’s right. He said you can explore as you please.”
“Thank you. I can’t raise my head to the academy officials who block the threat of dungeons that can change at any time.”
“Is the guard post like that?”
“Yes.”
When he said that he had come after clearing the dungeon, Milton, whose eyes visibly looked at him, smiled and explained.
“Even though the President’s authority controls the creation of dungeons, it is unknown when the overflowing dimensional energy will create another irregular dungeon. There are many guard posts on the outskirts of the city. It’s hard to use machines as long as the dungeons are intertwined. haha.”
Is it hard to use the machine when the dungeons are entangled?
Are there machines in this world in the first place?
Ban Yu-won, who was about to ask a stupid question, immediately blocked my mouth.
It is a world that treats the Earth as a lower dimension.
Even if it was not a machine that semi-yuwon knew, there was nothing strange about a machine that developed independently in this world.
“Now, stop doing this and go inside. If you need some guidance…?”
“Then can you tell me the way to the Temple of Spring?”
Banyuwon, who put aside his doubts, decided to receive their guidance.
Milton must have said the word Lonica earlier, so you should find the Temple of Spring here.
Milton, for some reason, looked at the brooch on his chest once more at the word Temple of Spring, then nodded and said,
“I will take you there myself. Don’t sleep on Dallon and watch over him.”
“Super Warden?!”
“Let’s go.”
If the other person treats you, there is no reason to refuse it.
Moreover, Ban Yoo-won quickly accepted his request to accompany him, thinking that if he was a person at the level of a sentinel, he would be suitable as a bodyguard.
After passing the guard post, the highway suddenly expanded from there.
I wondered if the buildings were popping up sparsely, but after walking for just 5 more minutes, there was a city that was not envious of a completely modern Seoul.
Surprisingly, there were streamlined cars running that seemed to be made for the purpose of moving inside the city, and all of them were floating in the sky.
Is that all, cars were running on the road of flickering holograms made in the sky!
“I want to buy one of those.”
“You mean Hovercar.”
I already knew it, but listening to it as an unfamiliar word that seemed familiar, the sci-fi feeling was no joke.
“Haha, you won’t be able to ride on the floating island anyway.”
“Why don’t you just put it in your inventory and ride it only when you come down here?”
“…Have you already received your inventory? Is today the entrance exam?”
Oops, thinking about it, I said that only students who made special achievements in the academy are given inventory!
Banyuwon gradually felt a little burdened by Milton’s attitude, which began to look at him with a vague feeling that he would be the rope of success that came down from the sky.
“So…how much?”
“I think you can buy it for about 200,000 Ronia, including the cost of safety training for a low-end, low-end model.”
Ban Yu-won knew the concept of money in this world for the first time.
“Sorry, but I am not from this world. How much is it in gold? I brought quite a bit, but I didn’t know the price…”
“Gold?!”
Could there be something wrong with gold? Is gold being treated as a cheap mineral because it is so high-level? Otherwise, the negative elements of gold that have not yet been discovered on Earth…
At the time when Milton’s flirtatious response sparked an anti-amusement’s thinking out of control, he trembled and asked cautiously.
“If you brought quite a bit, how much…?”
“Can I go to the bank first?”
Reading something from his tone, the semi-amusement suggested it instead of an answer, and Milton nodded firmly as if it would be better.
* * *
In conclusion.
In this world, at least inside Lonica, gold was worth ten times the value of Earth.
Gold, of course, is a precious metal on Earth, but when you move to a higher dimension that deals with mana, it adds a value to it.
Gold is the most preferred material for all kinds of magic tools, and gold is the most efficient material for everything related to mana and magic, such as the material for the catalyst magic circle of high-level magic!
“Your account has been opened. Check your balance.”
Having completed the process of opening a personal account at Lonica’s bank (unusually, the registration was carried out with his magical power, which was possible because the magical power of all beings is unique), Ban Yu-Won accepted the small crystal politely offered by the bank teller.
This crystal doubles as an account and a payment card, so even if it is stolen, it seems that it can be reassured that it cannot be used if the magic structure is different anyway.
[Ban Yu-Won’s account balance: 7.53 million Ronia]
Ban Yu-Won handed over a 1kg gold bar to the bank.
After deducting various fees such as account issuance, the total amount obtained was 7.53 million Ronia.
As I came this far, I could see that 1 ronia is worth roughly 100 won, so I earned 750 million won by selling one gold bar.
I still have 99 more of the same in my inventory.
The level is different, so the price is ten times higher. That’s why everyone is doing trade!
“Right.”
“Thank you for using Central Bank. have a good day.”
There is nothing wrong with what my grandfather said, that gold works everywhere in the world. Ban Yu-won nodded and left the bank.
“Then let’s go. We will take you to the top-of-the-line Hovercar store!”
“No, I’m sorry I took you too far. There must be work…”
“It’s okay. But if you buy me some simple snacks, I’ll be grateful.”
It’s a lower dimension and a higher dimension, and the soldiers are starving.
Ban Yu-Won, who had a good realization, was interested in the snacks of this world, so he followed his guide and took a walk in the city’s shopping district.
It was just an ordinary city, except for hovercars running through the sky, people who looked more like monsters than the humans he knew passed by, and holograms popping up here and there to solicit customers instead of people.
“Hmm, even the chicken skewers at the stalls taste similar.”
There was a minor difference that the stalls were floating in the sky looking for customers.
“It’s not a chicken, it’s made from the meat of the monster Meruda’s legs. Oh, there it is!”
I just ate monster leg meat?
Milton, who seemed more excited than he was, dragged the semi-amusement who dropped the skewer in shock and headed for the huge building.
On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors, all sorts of magic tools powered by magic were sold, and Ban Yu-won couldn’t help but think of the Yongsan Electronics Market when he saw them.
Milton, who saw the half-amusement staring here and there, said with a smile.
“Haha, a lot of interesting things are released. I heard that the floating island where the academy is located works well inside the building protected by the President’s barrier, so it would be okay to buy some.”
And finally, I learned that all devices driven by magical power are called machines in this world!
‘That’s right. After all, a machine refers to a device in which work is done with power. I’m familiar with electronics, but the basic power of this world is mana. Magical Machine That was natural.’
It was a truly bizarre realization.
Following Milton’s recommendation, he selected a few interesting ‘machines’ and calculated them, and the value was a whopping 300,000 ronias.
“It is expensive.”
“Hahaha, this is a high-end store…”
Finally, the 4th floor was a hovercar store, but on the 5th floor, they said that cutting-edge off-road hoverbikes were on display, so Banyuwon headed there as if possessed.
“Anyway, the sense of speed is better on a bike, right?”
“Oh, but it will be more difficult to ride. Besides, off-road bikes are great to hear that they run outside the city, but if you go into dungeon territory, you end up throwing them away…
” It was designed to withstand the dungeon mana waves!”
Maybe the news that Ban Yu-won happily paid for magic tools worth 300,000 Ronia at the store downstairs became known?
An employee of the Hovercar store approached them and smiled at the brooch on Ban Yu-won’s chest, and went on to explain.
“It’s even designed with a replaceable core, so if it gets too damaged you can swap it out right away. This is campaign period. If you purchase during the period, we will exchange mana cores at production prices up to 2 times within 3 years!”
“No, you’re saying you have to be prepared for damage in the end anyway!”
“Nono, it’s just insurance in case of an emergency. In the case of the new model ‘Onyx’ announced this month, ten units are already scheduled to be delivered to the dimensional border group. It is a direct proof that our development ability is superior to that of the military! How are you, customer? Would you like to take a look?”
I don’t know what the dimensional vigilantes are doing, but seeing Milton, who has been very heated up until now, keep his mouth shut, it seems quite believable.
Ban Yu-won followed the staff and paid the bill as if he was fascinated by the appearance of the Onyx, which has no corners that he did not like, from the sleek, streamlined, sleek body to the sharply protruding front fender.
“3.5 million ronia… No, we will apply the campaign discount to 3.2 million ronia. Oh my goodness, in a lump sum! thank you!”
Converted to Korean currency, it is 320 million won. It was the biggest diameter of Banyuwon’s life.
But why am I looking at the brooch on my chest when I say campaign discount?
Ban Yoo-won promised to ask Professor Yu Mi-na about the brooch when he returned to school.
“If you fly in the sky, there will be no splashing of dirt, so why did you put the fenders on it?”
“You misunderstood, sir. This sharp part is not a front fender, but a reinforced part. It was designed for the purpose of injecting mana to break down obstacles in the way or, conversely, to block attacks.”
“Why do you need a function to attack other enemies on your hoverbike?”
It was a semi-recreation that bought the bike, but Milton was still grumbling.
The professionalism of the staff who followed him until the end was truly amazing.
“As I said before, it is a limited-class product made in preparation for being in a combat situation. Dimensional border guards, would you be greedy for nothing? Now here’s the number engraved! Only 50 units were produced, but this is the 7th among them.”
“I think we can check the description of the device later by looking at the manual.”
If left as it is, the Q&A would continue endlessly, so Ban Yoo-won intervened and asked the staff.
“Can you get some driving lessons?”
“I was going to tell you anyway. Our company can provide you with the issuance of licenses. You can take the test right away, or you can get training.”
“Then let’s take the exam tomorrow.”
“All right!”
Among the artifacts brought from Earth, there are some that can be used here.
What’s more, if things go well, this bike could be operated in ways that even its developers couldn’t imagine.
‘As expected, I’m glad I stopped by the city.’
Banyuwon, who came out after a pleasant shopping trip, was finally able to head to the original destination, the Temple of Spring.
However, the special treatment received elsewhere in the city was rather medicinal compared to this place.
The moment Banyuwon set foot inside the temple, which was made up of white stone paved temples centered around a magnificent building like a cathedral, the priests who discovered him reacted as if they were struck by lightning!
“The one wearing Yumina-sama’s brooch has arrived!”
“what? Take them inside the temple!”
“Don’t stand there, this way!”
“Sit down!”
The priests paid no attention to his school uniform.
Bring me this and that, drink, eat, isn’t the seat uncomfortable? It took 5 minutes to introduce myself and get to the main point.
“I am an academy student class member. Today, I visited Professor Yumina at the request. Actually, he said he wanted to buy 2 bottles of honeymoon wine produced in this temple…”
“I have already prepared it.”
“yes?”
“There is only one reason for him to seek the temple.”
It was the moment when the image of Yoo Mi-na changed in Ban Yu-won’s mind.
“I’ll give a bottle to Ban Yu-won as a gift, so please try it.”
“yes? No, I’m still immature….” She
tried to say that she was underage, but after thinking about it, she realizes that she is also 20 years old.
Aren’t you old enough to drink?
“Isn’t it not possible to enter the academy unless you are 17 years old? At Union, if you are over 17, you are an adult.”
“Even though he’s only eighteen years old…”
“There’s no problem.”
Moreover, since the priest also said this, Ban Yu-won, who thought it was a good opportunity, decided to enter alcohol on a honeymoon.
“Thank you for coming here today. Please say hello to Yumina.”
“all right.”
Of course, looking at their appearance, I could roughly understand why they were so devoted to Yumina and to herself who wore Yumina’s brooch.
Hair consisting of bluish or pale skin blades. The top of the head with flower buds that sometimes go out.
Perhaps they are of the same species as Yumina.
Well, I should have noticed it when it was said that it was a temple dedicated to the god of spring.
“Then I’m off…” Ban Yu
-Won, who couldn’t stand the polarity of the priests who seemed to feed him dinner and put him to sleep if he stayed still, stood up as soon as he received his drink.
Then, sure enough, the priests said they couldn’t send it like this, and placed a box full of refreshments made by the priests in the temple in his arms.
“You’ll be back soon, right? If you tell me which snacks you liked, I’ll bring you more then.”
“No…”
What the hell is Yumina like to you guys?
Those words rose to his throat, but Ban Yu-won swallowed them down, sensing the fact that it would become more annoying if it was misinterpreted.
no but what?
Are you sure you’ll be back soon?
