Why Did I Have to Enroll

had just awakened his powers and grown a bit by devouring the concepts the two Goblins possessed.
However, he knew this wasn’t enough to deal with Goblins head-on.
So, what should he do now?

Ban Yu-won thought that the answer might lie in the Devil.

‘They said I could give it to others.
Fortunately, there is something I can give to you.’

He examined the club closer.
It was sturdy and still stained with Goblin blood and brain fluid.
Ban Yu-won was skeptical that he would be able to deal with a Goblin with a weapon he’d never used before, but it would be better than his bare hands.

“Wait.”

At that moment, Ban Yu-won made an involuntary sound at the realization.
He looked around, startled, but there was still silence.
This was probably because the areas of these two Goblins overlapped.

‘If I can take away the concept of language from a body, couldn’t I take it from an object as well?’

Ban Yu-won hurriedly scanned the floor.
G1 and G2 disappeared with their straw clothes, but their clubs remained.
He placed his hand on G1’s club and activated his power.
He only realized it a few minutes ago, but once he realized it, he could handle it as though it were natural.

[Now that you have taken ownership of a thing, it is possible to usurp its concept.
Do you want to absorb Blunt Weapon 1?]

‘I’ll absorb it.’

Blunt weapon? It was just a club.
Ban Yu-won started the absorption with a bitter smile.

The same scene as before unfolded.
The club crumbled, and golden strings flowed into Ban Yu-won’s body.
However, it was a concept that Ban Yu-won, like the Devil, couldn’t directly possess.

[Attaching Blunt Weapon 1 to the object you touched.
This object will have Blunt Weapon 2.]

It was simpler than he thought.
The string flowed out of his body again and into the club, and that was it.
There was no change in its appearance.
Did it mean that there was no big change by increasing it by one, or was it that the appearance wouldn’t change?

That was easier than expected, so Ban Yu-won tried the next thought that came to mind.

[Because you have ownership of the thing, it can usurp its concept.
Do you want to absorb Blunt Weapon 2?]

‘Okay, it doesn’t look like the amount is reduced by re-absorbing what I’ve given.’

This was more important than he thought.
If you exchanged money, wouldn’t it incur a fee? If you repeat the process of exchanging won into dollars and then converting it back to won, it will decrease from its original amount.
However, his abilities had no concept of a fee, so he could grant or absorb at will.

However, if he absorbed all the concepts that made up an object, the object would collapse, so he had to be careful.

‘Then cancel absorbing Blunt Weapon…and let’s give it the Devil.’

Just before executing it, Ban Yu-won hesitated.
He remembered the guide that said language could not only give but separate.
And if that was the case, wouldn’t it be possible to apply it directly to his body?

‘Devil…could this be magic?’

To be honest, it was very interesting.
However, the reason Ban Yu-won expected the outcome but didn’t try it was that he had no idea if it would make a dramatic change by acquiring roughly 0.2 Devil.
He’d also confirmed he could reabsorb the concept in case he needed it.

‘Yes, this is right.
Right now, a weapon should have Devil.’

The urges from when he was a moody teenager were about to burst out, but he desperately suppressed them.
Then, he pulled out all 0.2 Devil isolated inside his body and gave it to the Blunt Weapon.
Of course, it didn’t change at all even when it was given the Blunt Weapon 1, so it wouldn’t change much if he gave it the concept of Devil 0.2.

That’s what he thought.
But the result was very different from what he thought.

[The thing has the Devil 0.2, so it has taken on the properties of artifacts.
The destructive power was slightly amplified, and the durability was noticeably increased.
An additional critical hit chance was given.]

“…What?”

Stunned by the unexpected guidance, a message from the academy popped up.

[Created temporary artifacts during the evaluation.
It’s amazing indeed.
A large bonus was given to your evaluation! I recommend going to the Artifact Production Department!]

“Ha, haha.”

He did it.
But it was thrilling and given a large bonus?

It was the moment when it was proved that this unique ability he was born with was an ability never before found in the Union Academy.

‘I can do it.
They’re all dead now!’

…Of course, that didn’t mean he could face the Blind Goblin one-on-one, so he had to keep walking the tightrope.
It would still take a long time for him to use abilities that couldn’t be confirmed with the Babylonian Code, such as deception and trickery, vocal imitation, and hacking, but he could go on to defeat the Goblins.

But as he walked, considering this, he was faced with a large door that didn’t suit the cave at all.
