I went to school for nothing (114)
Lesson 24. Where are freshmen like you? – 2
New students are still busy adjusting to the academy, so they can’t pay much attention to it, but every Sunday is a very important day for current students of the academy.
This is because it is the day when the so-called ranking of the top-reaching class of students who have finished exploration from Friday to Sunday (of course, there are students who come out of the tower on Friday if it is on Saturday for reasons such as retirement or rest).
This ranking system is linked to the academy’s intranet, which can be accessed through student IDs, and is updated as students leave the tower.
Of course, it is possible to set it privately, but since the ranking is a measure of a student’s ability along with the comprehensive evaluation, there were few teams that made it private.
“Hey, the rankings have been updated this week.”
“oh? Because there are people who hold out until the end. I’m leaving by 6:00 p.m. anyway.”
After an early Sunday afternoon exploration, the students sat around the cafe in the annex building or on the terrace of a restaurant, chatting with each other and waiting for their rankings to be updated.
Coincidentally, this week was also the first week that the tower exploration resumed after the regular exams, so many people’s attention was focused on the ranking…
“… Huh?”
“What. If it’s the third year ranking, the student council president?”
“That woman is the sole top every time, do you need to see her? Not the same student council.”
“Publicity manager? It’s definitely great, but every time I’m on the same level as the vice president… Huh?”
This week, there was a lot of fluctuation in the rankings.
Mira, the head of the Public Relations Department of the Student Union, has the right to explore alone, which only four of the seniors have, and has a performance comparable to that of the senior vice-president’s team.
That she should finally say that, this week alone, she broke through more than 10 rooms and was approaching the ranking of the student council president, let alone Ketra.
Above that are a handful of fourth graders and fifth graders in the senior class.
It is to compete with seniors by jumping over two years.
Even on a solo adventure!
“Hey, this…”
“The water has risen completely. Was the compatibility with the Constellation excellent?”
“If this is the case, is the top-level composition perfectly set with the student council president and the public relations department head alone exploring?”
“No matter how, how could there be more than 10 rooms at the point of approaching 300 rooms… Didn’t that freshman you’re with lately do something?”
“Stop talking about watching that boot camp channel or something. Are those worms with no foundation the same as the fairy elite?”
Exclamation erupted along with whispers of Mira’s name from here and there.
I couldn’t help but pay attention to the fact that such a large accident broke out in a car that people were interested in because it was seen with Banyuwon all last week.
After that, I naturally became curious.
The ranking of that freshman who was chosen as the man of the beautiful fairy girl that everyone in the academy was aiming for.
“Room 30… Ordinary?”
“I saw the video, but you roasted it once before. It’s fast considering that.”
“If you look at the entire first grade, it’s average, right? It’s average, but…”
The rankings of the first-year freshmen, who are still in the process of adapting to the academy and to the top, were actually ambiguous to evaluate from now on.
But even among them, there were those who had already made their mark.
Such was the case with Russein Ortima, the heir to a teenage family who had been away from the academy for a while due to an injury sustained during a special activity, but led the team members who had been waiting for her and quickly broke through to the 50th room.
This was the case with Aire, who had obtained the right to explore alone since entering school and had already reached the 70th room by breaking through the tower at the highest speed ever.
“If you look at it objectively, you’re far behind them.”
“It doesn’t even compare.”
The current students made a common expression as they checked the first grade rankings two or three times.
This is a facial expression that people often make when faced with something they cannot understand.
“But why are these Rebellion guys exploring areas that are over 100 rooms…”
“Wasn’t there no such thing as a chain room under 100 rooms? Are those bastards really only going up to 30 rooms?”
“Even though the tower’s reaction varies depending on each individual’s capabilities. How good are you?”
It was then.
No matter who it was, most of the students’ mirrors vibrated briefly to inform them of the news.
“New Rebellion video uploaded!”
“Uh… do you see that too?”
The students simultaneously took out mirrors and exchanged rather puzzled glances.
It was because I was a bit reluctant to admit that as a senior, I was always waiting for a junior’s exploration video.
“By the way… don’t you see everything?”
“When I see what that anti-yuwon guy is doing, I can see the parts I need to learn…”
“What kind of freshman is this?”
“Is it just that all freshmen this year are weird? Especially these Rebellion guys.”
But when you realize that everyone is in the same situation, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
They played the video confidently, sharing smiles with a sense of fellowship.
“What is it? Isn’t pink hair pretty?”
“What you do is pretty. If it wasn’t for Banyuwon, I’d just…”
“You’re cute today too.”
“This silver-haired Moorim must be a dimension that broke away from Origin. If this kind of guy is from a lower dimension, are we all going to die?”
All of them were subscribers of the Rebellion Channel.
…Well, there were even people who were members of the fan club Level Force.
After confirming that everyone was similar, many students sat down at the table and watched the video together
.
“compensation! This must be from Room 30- after all, the treasure chest came out!”
Just a few hours later, how ridiculous the Rebellion team had committed in the tower spread all over the academy.

Monday morning.
In order to proceed with this project, Mira sighed as she looked around the ‘training room for special students’, which was barely prepared after receiving approval from the student council president, three of the full professors (Campanella Yumina Zenon), and finally the president’s approval.
“Why did it have to be this hard to arrange?”
Originally, a dedicated training room that should be given to every class.
However, the special selection students have not been recognized as a class so far, and as Professor Yumina is in charge of the first year special selection students, a dedicated training room has barely been created.
In fact, it was watching it that the student council had the heart to move.
―Until then, I hadn’t even thought of providing a training room for special admissions students.
“Finally, we have a dedicated training room! Kya-ho-ho!”
“If you don’t want to close the training room the day after it opens, don’t roll around and get up right away, senior stone!”
“…If you’re going to like it that much, it would have been nice if you had applied right away.”
“Did you?”
A stone that was rolling on the floor (even other juniors were calling him a stone now) suddenly raised his head and said,
“But it was rejected because there were no vacant rooms.”
“Ha yes. It must have been…”
The number of group training rooms in the second annex of the academy is definitely limited.
However, there are definitely rooms that are more than enough to be assigned to all classes of all grades in the academy, and they have been a system that can be used by making a reservation in advance, saying that they are free training rooms so far.
The problem is that this reservation has priority.
Needless to say what priorities were set, the conclusion was that the free training room was like a playground for special class students.
And this time, due to the presence of a determined student council, a few well-intentioned faculty members, and above all, anti-yuwons, they succeeded in recapturing one of them!
“From now on, it’s up to you.”
Mira said in a cold voice as she looked at the special selection students who were deliberately ignoring the stones rolling on the floor, sitting in a suitable place in the training room, and activating the talisman given by Banyuwon.
“If we can’t produce results, we can’t even defend this room. Conversely, if you do well, you can be assigned a separate room for each grade. To overturn the academy’s unreasonable treatment, it means that everyone has no choice but to keep their mouths shut with overwhelming results.”
“I know! Our mummy is… the head of the PR department! They say they care about us this much!”
After sneakily calling Mira by name, the stone hurriedly changed its words after seeing several purple light bulbs floating around her body.
However, Mira only snorted at that.
“Not for you. For the student council, for a more correct academy. …and for my man.”
“Kek.”
In fact, in addition to that, Mira’s own guilt was included, which she could not erase even though she entrusted everything to Banyuwon no matter how much she did.
It was the guilt of being possessed by the Constellation and almost committing an absurd mistake by attracting Ketra and countless other students.
I can’t do that because I know that the moment I admit it, I will collapse on my own.
You can’t do anything about it though.
It was also the beginning of her agony.
‘Because I don’t want to share all these troublesome troubles. I’m sorry I said I’d give you everything, but I couldn’t. I’ll give you all the rest…’
She clasped her hands, remembering the contractor’s face.
Starting from Friday and until this moment today, I felt myself getting impatient because I couldn’t face him.
Actually, I just want to see him.
It was amazing.
‘How different.’
When I had feelings for Ketra, there were times when meeting him was scary.
Stressed by what he does, stressed by the way he treats himself.
Even though I miss him, I had a foolish thought like it would be nice if I could only keep my heart for him without seeing him forever.
Banyuwon was different.
I want to hear more of his voice.
Even though I’m looking at your face, I’m thirsty to see more.
I care about you when you’re apart, and want to get closer when you’re close.
Even though I knew that it was not an ordinary love, it was a more distorted and obsessive feeling.
Still, thinking of him made me feel comfortable and happy.
‘Because I said I’d take my all.’
All because of that one word.
He probably regrets it because he didn’t even know that she was such a heavy, annoying, and troublesome woman and said he would accept everything.
The contract has already been made and cannot be revoked.
She doesn’t have to worry about her relationship with him, she just needs to be immersed.
“The PR manager is delusional with an expression he has never seen before.”
“No, it seems like we don’t care anymore.”
“I am very grateful to Ban Yu-Won, but I want to curse him right now…”
“Isn’t his hair weird? How is it that even in the academy, the elite elite of the fairies are the human race…”
“What are you saying.”
The next moment, Mira, who escaped from her imagination, snapped her fingers and blew all the special selection students near her to the opposite wall.
As she is closely following the student council president, who has established herself as a talented person who transcends the grade early on, the students did not react properly and stretched out.
“Do some training.”
“yes…!”
Mira let out a sigh as she saw the special selection students disbanding without making a sound.
They are also elites with special abilities worthy of the name of the special selection.
It might not have been like that at the time of admission, but as I got used to the unreasonable treatment stemming from the academy’s unique ideology of chosen people, my personality itself seemed to have become servile little by little.
You may have to do something about their character and attitude before developing their abilities…
“Thank you very much, Director of Public Relations.”
“hmm?”
When Mira turned her head, the only person there was Woo Heol-lin, a special third-year male student whom Ban Yu-won had praised.
“what.”
“This is a lot of hard work. It seems like you have a lot of work these days.”
“Ah…”
“I’m just a little worried about whether I’m feeling well. In fact, Ban Yu-won’s junior is in charge of this, but I think you’re taking on too much of a burden.”
Mira was also aware that she was overdoing herself these days.
But it didn’t bother me.
There was also the virtue of strengthening the body at once by signing a contract with the Constellation… but it felt like the accumulated fatigue disappeared in an instant when he thought that he was working hard for the half-yuwon.
However, there was no way she would say such things to strangers, and she just shook her head.
“You don’t have to worry about me. You just have to work hard to make this project work.”
“If it’s okay, that’s fine. If you still have trouble, feel free to consult me. It’s a contract with the same Constellation after all.”
Woohyeollin left the spot without leaving those words.
As expected, Mira nodded quietly and thought.
―Is it homophobia? It sounds like you’re not feeling too well.
‘cognation? No way. Hatred might be right, but.’
Mira sneered and replied to the gravekeeper of her contract, Purgatory, who spoke to her head.
‘It was just unpleasant to talk to me pretending to be friendly just because we had the same Constellation as our contractor.’
-It’s too rigid. Are you going to stop talking to every man except the man you love?
‘The reason a man talks to a woman pretending to be friendly is usually because he wants to mix things up, not words.’
―That’s right too.
The Constellation laughed happily.
―Still, since it’s a long-awaited deal with the same type of ability, it should be a relationship that helps each other if they become close.
‘You’re just hoping that my relationships will be complicated.’
―I am both happy and sad that my contractor is too wise.
she said no more.
In the first place, she entrusted everything to Ban Yu-Won, so all future relationships had to be centered on him.
The Constellation still doesn’t understand that.
If I understand, there’s nothing I can do about it.
“Oh, it looks wider than the 11th class training room.”
“…!”
Her pointed ears pricked at the sound of a voice behind her.
She pretended to be unconcerned and turned around.
The person you’ve been waiting for has arrived.
“You’re here, Yuwon.”
“huh. A new amulet was also delivered, and a training tool exclusively for senior Kshana… Ugh.”
prison. Contrary to her calm expression, her body was honestly hugging Ban Yu-won.
She never hesitated to give her all to him.
“Aaaah, I can’t lose!”
“So, why is Ruchel so competitive there?”
prison. Ruchel, who appeared with him, was startled and hugged Banyuwon from the other side, making him like a ham stuck between sandwiches.
“Here, both of you, calm down. … Oh, it’s ruined.”
Ban Yu-won sighed as he looked down at the two of them.
“…I’m here for student council business. Can I talk to the juniors from Banyuwon for a moment?”
Ketra, the student council vice president, was staring at them.
To put it bluntly, it was as if she was looking at Mira, not a semi-amusement… But
she didn’t realize it and was just enjoying the arms of the contractor she had met in a few days.
