You don’t have to go to school (145)
Lesson 29. The truth will be revealed someday – 5
After school that day, Yu-Won Ban entered the private reading room of the Academy Library to write a thesis under joint research with Aire.
With the exam period just around the corner, being able to occupy a private reading room was not an easy task even for a student in a special class. .
“—So this time, it was possible to resume solo exploration. Do you think this makes sense?”
There he told her frankly about the circumstances of his solo expedition.
Aire, who heard the story, tilted her head with an unexpected expression.
“Why did you tell me?”
Ban Yu-won shrugged and replied.
“I’m guessing you’re guessing.”
“It’s a different matter to convince yourself of that, but that’s right. I was guessing.”
Aire nodded slowly.
After taking her hands off the magic thesis the two were jointly writing, she continued.
“Your presence brings change to the Tower. Not just me, everyone who watched the video of Rebellion guessed it. That’s why the president favors you…”
“In the long run, it might have been better to hide it, but at the time, it wasn’t a situation where you could do anything about it.”
“Anyway, the president must have noticed. So the situation is better now that we have solidified our position by publicizing it.”
After comforting Ban Yu-won with cold words, he tapped the table with the pen he was holding.
Two-woong-two-woong- I couldn’t believe that I had hit the table with a pen, but there was a heavy sound.
As Banyuwon had already taken soundproofing measures, the sound did not spread far and disappeared after echoing in a small space.
“As expected, it is fast and powerful. … same.”
“huh?”
“Your solo exploration.”
Aire, who had been whispering something in words that Ban Yu-Won couldn’t understand, soon returned the topic.
“The road to the top of the tower seems to be far from it. If we are climbing the front of the tower, you are climbing the back of the tower.”
“hmm…?”
However, because her story was interesting, Banyuwon also focused on her.
It was also because I wanted to hear her thoughts from the beginning.
“That is the only section allowed to you. But really, that can never be the road to God. I understand?”
“…Can’t we discriminate against only one person in challenging the throne?”
“that’s right. Rather, if the tower discriminates only against you, then your solo exploration is more than exploration…”
Management?
It was Aire who tilted her head while talking about it herself, but Ban Yu-won rather listened to it and there was a part where she was convinced.
Since the tower is definitely the legacy of the Ban family, wouldn’t it be natural for Ban Yu-Won, who inherited it, to manage it!
“Manage.”
“It’s just a guess. This time, the direction will be more clear when you come in and out.”
“No, that was a satisfactory answer. But when this happens, the exploration with our teammates becomes uneasy.”
“It’s special, but not unique, so it’ll be fine.”
She said this too, though not sure.
Ban Yu-won thought so too.
“In that sense, let’s finish a little early today. There’s only finishing work left anyway, right?”
“huh. I’ll finish the rest.”
In fact, the thesis itself was completed in the 11th week, but now I was working on supplementing the basis of the theory and refining the conclusion part.
The subject of their magical dissertation is the study of shortening chanting.
It is a major research topic that covers almost all fields of magic, but it is difficult to intensify as it is highly accessible, so it could be said that it was enough as an alternative task to follow the existing theory and add the author’s thoughts.
If I had been that satisfied, I would not have started.
“A deep interpretation of the language of magic, a shortening of the chant with a simple secondary chant… a completely new theory. Everyone will be amazed. After all, as a wizard, your vision is special.”
“It’s my specialty.”
“…it wouldn’t be a dragon.”
Ayre’s sudden words made Ban Yu-won burst into laughter.
“I am a pure human being.”
“Never pure.”
“Okay, so I guess it’s half rotten.”
I don’t think Aire meant it that way.
Yuwon Ban shrugged and stood up from his seat, recalling the conversation he had with Misty the other day.
“Oh right. Misty asked me to include her in the next study.”
“Misty…? Misty Aiole?”
These days, there must have been quite a lot of things to do together with clubs, but why are you reacting as if you are hearing it for the first time?
I was trying to create an opportunity to get closer to Aire, even if it was because Misty, who consistently followed Aire and, even if it was a bonus, was good at running the club
.
“How can you not ask why or how…”
Ban Yu-won shook her head at Aire’s resolute attitude, as if she had not even the minimum qualifications to write a thesis with them.
“And the thesis is done for the time being. I’m busy even though I’ve been holding on to this thesis for the entire second semester.”
“I see…then let’s go. See you in class on Thursday.”
“huh.”
Until the moment Ban Yu-Won left the reading room, she was sending him transparent eyes.
Thinking that he was a very difficult guy to understand, I was moving in space in front of the Tower of Babel, but Sellon, who had been quiet the whole time, reacted belatedly.
―Dragon… Didn’t he just say he was a dragon?
‘I did, but why? Even you are thinking of saying nonsense about whether I am a dragon…’
―Isn’t that a dragon?
Ban Yu-won hesitated.
‘Do dragons really exist? Then Aire is also a polymorph, is it a polymorph?’
―You said that before, so why are you so obsessed with Polymorph? There’s no way Jinryong will survive to this day. What I said is, of course, a dragon with the blood of a dragon.
‘What is it now? It’s good.’
Dragon Slayer Dragon Bone Dragon Sword At least Dragon Heroine.
There are so many elements derived from one dragon, but I can’t expect them.
Ban Yu-won lamented that one of his dreams had vanished in vain in the fantasy world.
-Listen anyway. Sure, the verbal magic you wield is amazing, but no one can relate it to a dragon, no matter how amazing it is.
‘however?’
―But dragons can handle the unique magic system called dragon words. So it’s only natural that I would have such doubts after seeing your excellent language magic ability and feeling the similarity with dragon words.
However, Aire, who was not convinced that Ban Yu-Won was her own people even when she looked at it up close, began to spill her words in this way.
‘After all, it’s a guess without any grounds.’
―I’m sure he’s Yongin. As I revealed my identity to you, I sent a signal to reveal yours as well. Somehow, it was strange that he
carried so much pure elemental mana…
Isn’t the possibility that Light, who is hanging out with Aire and learning something from her these days, is also Yongin!
“What will happen if more useless settings are added to the light…!”
-Eh? Why are you with me again?
* * *
If there’s one thing that’s sad, it’s that there is no Eden on the ‘back’ of the Tower.
“Don’t you think you just said something nice?”
―Let’s say it while crying.
“Dokgoyeon would want to cry more than me. I would have been looking forward to the life science from here.”
I should have guessed from the time I kicked out the half-yuwon after the last exploration.
It was unreasonable to expect Eden from behind the tower, which had a completely different structure from the tower he had been through for the past few months.
“Though it changed into a more proper environment than when I fought the giants last time.”
Look up at the brightly lit night sky studded with stars and the moon, and look down at the land where mountains, grasslands, long rivers, and rocky plateaus are located.
Compared to the previous exploration, where there were only rocks, this place could be said to be a perfect Mother Nature.
‘If it were modeled after the creation myth, then the world would have been created, so this scene seems natural.’
The problem was that there was no monster he had to face here, and the room sign on his student ID was perfectly delicious and was going back and forth between 11 and 100.
“No, this is not 11 to 20, but expands the range to 100…”
―It means that the standard of ‘front side’ has no meaning.
Of course you would.
Yuwon Ban sighed and raised his head, and then he saw a change coming to the space in real time.
“That’s… what are you talking about?”
the sky opens
The night sky was literally tearing apart, and brilliant pillars of light were pouring down to the ground from the cracks.
Ban Yu-won looked at it and muttered blankly.
“That’s a full-orbital bombardment….”
―You always say that.
When the light stopped and the sky closed again.
Ban Yu-won felt signs that he had not been aware of until now appearing in all directions.
“Monsters… no humans?”
I was holding my staff in the hope that the battle would finally begin.
He tilted his head as he saw them heading towards the place where the pillar of light poured down, not himself.
– Let’s go.
For some reason, Sellon was more active.
Ban Yu-Won silently nodded and moved secretly, hiding his presence with Goe-yeong-gong, and approached the place where the pillar of light had fallen.
The number of people gathering at the place where the pillar of light used to be was increasing… that’s for sure.
They are NPCs. It’s not the original person, but it’s suddenly rising like it fell from the sky.
– Nope.
Celon suddenly groaned.
―Do you know what the pillar of light was?
‘I know it had tremendous magical power.’
Sellon quietly responded to Banyuwon’s affirmation.
-answer. It was a very thick and pure mass of magical power. Maybe this was the starting point…
‘starting point?’
-look.
The humans gathered in one place moved very quickly and started building something.
Maybe it seemed to fast-forward.
At first, I thought they moved so fast that I couldn’t see their individual faces, but I didn’t.
I couldn’t make out their faces even though I was staring at them as if they were mosaics.
‘Are they really hunting targets?’
However, when they had gone beyond a certain distance, an invisible wall blocked Banyuwon’s path.
It was then that a trick appeared before his eyes.
[One. Cannot access the tower.]
[2. We have to protect them until the tower is completed.]
“Tower?”
– Did you notice too?
Celon’s voice trembled faintly.
―The tower is showing you history. What happened in the distant past when the tower was built in the Age of Gods, when we weren’t even allowed to peek…!
Why didn’t I need the same words.
It’s really new, but at this moment, Ban Yuwen was really convinced that his ancestors had built the Tower of Babel.
Otherwise, the Tower would not be able to show him such a sight.
―If I explore with you, maybe I can really uncover all the secrets of the tower. If that happens, neither I nor the other Constellations…!
Sellon was overly excited by the scenes of the past shown by the tower, and began to speak words that the half-amusement could not understand.
Ban Yu-Won didn’t listen to that.
I thought about looking for my ancestors in the middle of people busy building a tower, but I couldn’t recognize them because they were all mosaics anyway.
“Cellon begins.”
―Why does the tower, which was ruthless and cruel to us, easily reveal its insides to this guy―― Huh?
As if a tempting scent spreads from the spot where the pillar of light fell.
I could feel the presence of monsters flocking from all sides.
[3. Death in this place makes you pay a heavier price.]
A trick added in time with him.
Even at this time, the tower was the tower.
No matter how much he is the successor, he has no intention of showing everything so easily.
“――――!”
“~~? ―!”
A commotion began to spread among the humans who were building the tower, as if they had noticed the approaching monsters.
The semi-amusement has no access to them, but that’s probably the only limit to tricks in this space.
If you are distracted, you will be penalized for not meeting the conditions of the trick room.
Banyuwon had to protect them.
“It’s a defense game, so there’s nothing I can’t do.”
―Because you have a lot of losses, right?
“yes.”
“Whoosh!”
Ban Yu-won robbed his entire inventory.
Eve, a reliable companion who always accompanies him. Tike, who was reborn as a powerful follower with a vicious gun barrel, as well as twenty-five heavy rain swords escaped and scattered in all directions under his control.
‘Even though I haven’t completed martial arts yet, thanks to polishing the system, I can control all of the heavy rain swords.’
Of course, it would not be possible to produce the same power as when controlling each one in detail, but now was not the time to be hesitant.
“It’s a pity that Lilith hasn’t woken up yet… Livi.”
-Kik.
In the end, the name decided according to Lucille’s will is called.
The last thing to show up in the inventory is full plate armor perfectly constructed from head to toe.
It moved vividly as if there was a person inside—Living Armor, a relic captured by Ban Yu-won during the last special activity—appeared holding Ryu Cheol-myeong’s greatsword.
“I wanted to name it Alphonse…”
―You are not even human.
“So how do you know that?”
If you count the raindrops that make up the heavy rain sword, it’s a whopping 30 corps.
His Artifacts and followers stood in a circle around the tower construction site with their own will.
-Kiruk.
―Kuhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
monsters that would have looked like that if they dyed the goblins blacker than twisted their bodies
“I’ll get one concept right.”
Ban Yu-Won muttered jokingly as he held the longsword of the beheader and looked ahead.
Each of his followers raised the mood by preparing for battle.
“Where are you going to look!”
―Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And the full-scale defense game began.
