Admission is nothing (31)
Lesson 8. This skill belongs to me – 1
I experienced it firsthand while going on a date with Ruchel on Saturday, but filming the inside of the tower was a truly amazing event.
It is a tower where everything changes every time you enter it, but it is impossible to say how much of a help it will be if you leave the data inside the tower as vivid images.
The academy officials, who started agitated from the moment Ban Yu-won entered the tower with a camera, were on the verge of going crazy when they saw that he had uploaded a nicely edited exploration video of the tower.
―To the extent that they are even more enthusiastic about catching intruders in the tower.
“So…”
Sunday evening.
Nine professors sat around a round table barely large enough for ten people to sit on.
Yumina did not try to hide her displeasure and opened her mouth to speak.
“Did you even suggest an early termination of the search operation and a meeting, Professor Cantone?”
“Of course Professor Yumina. In fact, the intruders of the tower are only individuals, but the images of the tower are far beyond that category, aren’t they?”
Yumina just snorted at the words of Alec de Cantone, a top research professor who is famous for having a sinister mind that goes well with him, with a greasy tone and eye smile.
“Everybody knows that intruders are a group, so are they individuals? Furthermore, the video of the tower belongs to the category of an individual, but I don’t know what you mean by that.”
“Professor Yumina, you are beautiful even when you lie. He really cares about his students…”
“Shut up. Because no one came here to see your tongue length.”
Cantone’s words, which were about to continue for a long time, were forcibly interrupted by a small, silver-haired woman.
It was Talia Liliana Campanella, a professor in the Artifact Production Department, the only minor division in the academy.
After making Cantone shut up, she sent a sharp gaze at Yumina and asked.
“Yumi-na, you blindfolded the search operation anyway. So stop being angry and explain. What the hell is that child?”
“Talia to you.”
“It does require an explanation.”
If Yumina is in charge of magic combat science, of course, she must also have the opposite study.
The man I was just talking about was Ryu Cheol-myeong, a professor of Aura combat science.
All of the students who fought with stamina in their weapons, not because of their grandiose words, were all trained by this man.
Magic is an excellent skill, but as it requires great talent, the number of students is that small, and as such, at the gathering of professors, Ryu Cheol-myeong’s influence was a little stronger than Yumina’s.
“It’s not something to cover up just because you’re Professor Yumina’s student. The Tower is the core of our academy. A student has invaded the tower’s authority. This is unacceptable.”
“Professor Cheolmyeong Ryu’s words are a bit strange. The reason no one has taken a video of the tower so far is simply because they didn’t have the ability to do so. What we need to discuss now is how to use that student’s ability to help the academy…” ”
So what is that skill!”
As this is not an ordinary event, the professors were very excited.
The nine full professors gathered here are so old that Yumina, who has lived for 500 years, is among the youngest.
That’s why I don’t get excited about a lot of things, but this time, because Ban Yu-won hit the first major incident since the establishment of the academy, everyone was running amok without paying for their age.
“Everyone be quiet.”
However, the moment the young man’s voice resounded, all the professors who were talking loudly shut their mouths.
He is a professor in charge of a subject for upper grades that is hard to understand at first glance called ‘Babylon and the Constellations’, and his name is Zenon.
He was also the man who served as the sole vice-chancellor of the academy.
“The first thing to be clear is that our professors cannot force that student.”
“But, Vice-President.”
“This is something that will not change for any reason.”
The professors who were trying to argue with him left without making a sound at his resolute tone.
The vice-chancellor’s will is the president’s will.
No matter how much professors hold a meeting, if the president doesn’t give permission, it won’t happen.
“I will grant permission up to a personal request. However, in the process, if it is discovered that students are pressured or disadvantaged more than necessary, the officials will have to prepare for expulsion.”
“Of course, Vice-Chancellor, none of us will oppress the students the Academy is supposed to protect and teach. But if that student doesn’t listen to anyone’s will… wouldn’t it be quite troublesome?”
Cantone spoke again.
It was evident that he disliked the semi-amusement very much.
“We are not the only ones paying attention to the student. The other students…especially the scions of teenage families, will stop at nothing.”
“you’re right. Rather, sharing student skills and making them available to everyone is a way to keep students safe! In return, we also give the student some artifacts…”
It seemed that the form that naturally connected the conversation by exchanging glances with the other professors had already made their side before the meeting started. .
What would the students think if they saw them now? Yumina was simply stunned.
“Looks like you didn’t quite understand what I said, you two.”
Zenon said in a hard voice.
“I definitely said that everyone involved was expelled. Of course, students are no exception.”
“…yes?”
“No, Vice-Chancellor. Are you kidding?”
“It’s a thousand things that have been unconventional ever since I entered school. Are you saying you’re going to take on a teenage family to protect it now?”
Most of the professors put on a face that was absurd.
In particular, in the case of Ryu Cheol-myeong, he openly despised Ban Yu-won and strongly argued.
If this is the case, I wonder why there was unanimous approval at the time of the admission evaluation of Ban-Yu-Won, but among the professors who agreed at the time, there were not a few professors who had the intention of stealing only technology from Ban-Yu-Won, who had useful skills.
Their true intentions were revealed here.
“I want you to listen, so I really want to listen to the students I am in charge of…!”
Yumina, who had risen to the point of fever, was about to kick herself off her seat, but Zenon held out a hand to stop her.
He looked down at the professors he had just spoken with cold eyes.
“Has the weight of the years you have accumulated, coveting wisdom and knowledge, been this light? …Professor Campanella?”
“Yes yes!”
Professor Campanella, who had a crush on Zenon – and therefore had a specialty in being silent and unable to say anything when he started talking – responded in a shrill voice to the sudden call.
“I heard that you are conducting research related to the use of machines in the tower.”
“that’s right! I’ve been clinging to it for about 200 years…!”
Artifacts are often said to be divided into two types.
A natural artifact that was born naturally in a special environment and conditions.
An artificial artifact created by human beings who have thoroughly analyzed and studied it, artificially equipped with the environment and conditional materials.
There are those who argue that magic machines actively produced and sold outside should also be classified as artificial artifacts, but that is foolish.
Miracle by-products born in the process of human pursuit of God.
How can it be the same as mass-produced products created by human beings in search of replacements for their hands and feet?
These two inevitably have different structures, and that difference determines whether they work in dungeons or towers.
But even so, if those who produce artifacts looked down on machines, that was not the case at all.
“Anyway, it’s hard to produce the intended result with artifacts, especially things like shooting…! So I’m going to fix the machine somehow and make it work in the dungeon.”
“I know some have been successful.”
“Sure! The reason why machines break down in towers and dungeons is because the complex structure can’t withstand the mana waves and causes overload. Make the structure as simple as possible, add materials that help mana circulation, and in addition, whenever a human hand touches it, It slows down the overload as much as possible by synchronizing with human magic…”
As is often the case with otaku who are asked about their area of expertise by someone they like, she continued with excitement.
However, the heartless Zenon had no intention of listening to her until the end.
“But filming has never been successful. Am I wrong?”
“No, Professor Zenon is right. Obviously, in the dungeon, I managed to shoot a video for about 5 minutes as well as back up, but when I move the same model to the tower, it breaks down before I can turn it on properly…”
Campanella instantly becomes sullen.
But when the professors heard that, they felt something strange.
“It worked in the dungeon, but it didn’t work in the tower…?”
“Did everything else work?”
“Yes, it was possible to somehow store and detonate the magic bombs that appeared in the video of the semi-amusement student using a tool that completely blocks magic, but I couldn’t film it…” Campanella’s strong reaction to this
work It was also because of that.
If it hadn’t been for her friend Yumina’s student, she might have run to the dormitory by now and clung to Ban Yu-won’s pants crotch.
“No, but it’s like…”
“It’s not his skills that are special.”
Zenon boldly declared, as if to crack down on the professors who started talking again.
Immediately after, he looked back at Yumina and Campanella and made an additional comment.
“Of course, it has been confirmed that there is a natural talent for creating artifacts, but it is important that it is not the only one.”
“Vice-chancellor, then what do you mean?”
“He is being recognized by the Tower. the only one.”
aver.
The professors groaned at the weight of those words.
“I am a student who entered the tower for the first time the day before yesterday. Even if you say something you’ve never heard of being recognized by the Tower…”
“They say he’s from a lower dimension without mana. Is such a thing recognized by the tower? No matter how much you say you’re the vice-president, it’s an exaggeration this time.”
“I wonder if Professor Campanella’s research was just lacking.”
Yumina wrote down the names of professors including Cantone and Ryu Chul-myeong in a notebook in her heart.
One day, the day will come when you pay for making fun of them!
“You are free to believe me or not, but I will declare in advance that even if you obtain the technology from him, it will mean nothing.”
Zenon went through the professors one by one with those words.
Now everyone knows why this absurd meeting was established.
This meeting was not intended to discuss anti-yuwon technology and how the academy would use it.
It was simply a place prepared by the president to warn everyone to be prepared for anything that touches Banyuwon in the future!
‘Things are fine. It seems that the president really liked the semi-yuwon student…! Moreover, it is said that they have been recognized by the tower, and maybe the anti-yuwon students are really of the tower…’
Now that it’s done like this, at least in the future, no one will dare to ridicule or put down the anti-yuwon in public.
It was at that time when Yumina was relieved and sweeping her chest.
“And Professor Yumina.”
“Yes, Vice-Chancellor.”
“Is it true that the semi-yuwon students were chosen by the constellation?”
“what?!”
Once again the hall was seething.
As Yumina told Ban Yu-won herself, no one was approached by the constellation on the first day they entered the tower.
However, as much as Yumina was in a position to hide it, she expressed disapproval.
“I have little to say about the individual achievements or abilities of the students I am in charge of….”
“I am a professor who teaches students who have been chosen by the Holy See. If a classmate student is chosen by the Constellation, he is also my student. It is enough for you to tell us whether or not you have a contract.”
“…Semi-Amusement Students do not sign a contract with the Constellation.”
I didn’t lie.
The professors understood all the subtle nuances, and everyone fell into silent astonishment, knowing that she couldn’t lie about this.
“I mean, it was rejected. It would have been difficult for me to clearly express my intentions in the face of the Constellation’s intimidation.”
Yumina, who didn’t want to talk in detail, tried to pass it off with an ambiguous smile, but Zenon quietly nodded as if he had read something.
“All right. So, a semi-fun student… no. It would be good for all the students in class 11 to listen to my lecture.”
“yes? No, wait a minute, Vice President!”
Yumina exclaimed in bewilderment.
“No one in my class signed a contract with the Constellation!”
“Professor Yumina, the important thing is not whether you signed a contract with the Constellation. It is important whether or not you have been chosen by the Constellation.”
It was quite funny to see the other professors casually nodding their heads at Zenon’s words, then realizing who the words were referring to and turning their faces.
“The fact that you were chosen by a Constellation is proof of your outstanding abilities. And to those who once received the attention of a Constellation, other Constellations do not pay attention either. Rather, rejecting the Constellation once made it more attractive to them. And such students should listen to my lectures. The rest of the students who were there are also qualified.”
“Uh…”
Yumina didn’t particularly care that Yuwon Ban was taking classes from other professors, but when she heard that she was taking Zenon’s lectures, Yumina felt like she was being taken away from her and became anxious.
Zenon gave her a satisfied smile (Campanella passed out) and declared:
“Then, the meeting is over. I hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend.”
First, Zenon disappeared on the spot.
The professors who remained neutral throughout the meeting disappeared next.
Ryu Cheol-myeong stared at Yoo Mi-na and disappeared.
“I always admire your love for Professor Yumina, but wasn’t that a bit excessive this time…” “
Talia, wake up. If you sleep here, your mouth will return.”
“Ughhh.”
“….”
Cantone approached, as always, making a silly noise, but Yumina neatly ignored him, woke Campanella, and disappeared from the spot together.
“Haha, I drank water again. Let’s go for a drink at Professor Cantone’s bar.”
“…tsk!”
So all the professors left.
Only the round table was left alone and while receiving the moonlight pouring through the window, I wondered if there was a crack in the center of the round table, and it opened wide and became a large pupil.
―Those who do not understand the purpose of the academy, are jealous of each other, quarrel with each other, and want to check and knock down those who deserve the qualifications they deserve.
A voice whispering quietly.
Before long, her eyes slanted gently and were pinned on the tower seen through the window.
―Is it time to do another water change? … No, it would be nice to wait for a while in anticipation of the child’s ability.
pupils closed
Only the moonlight left alone in the meeting hall soaked up the darkness.

And the next day Monday.
“Are you a semi-amuser? I am said to be Mirei Oldena from the dimension called Hato!”
“Do you have time around lunchtime? Yes, I’m asking you on a date right now…”
“Half-yuwon? Do you know about the Academy Student Union? I am Graham, the secretary of the student council. I came to invite you to the student council.”
“It’s a messed up thing.”
Ban Yu-won reached the peak of his life.
