Lesson 25. Missing you when you get farther away – 4
Yesterday, the day we filmed the promotional video for the student council.
Mi-ra watches over Ban Yu-won’s rough instructions and the student council president’s uneasy eyes
.
Somehow, the topic of their common struggle, the faculty, came up.
“Ryu Cheol-myeong is really the worst. Are your eyes just sticky? How fortunate that I didn’t come and take combat science.”
“I was famous from the beginning for revealing women. There are many other students who are offended by that stare.”
At the words of the chairman, who trembled, Treasurer Vegan Delawalker touched the monocle and nodded affirmatively.
Is it Rika, the head of the External Activities Department, who is sitting on the desk next to him? and tilted his head.
“I’ve been listening to that old man’s lectures since I was in second grade, and I’ve never felt his gaze.”
“That’s Rika, you…”
“Me? what? …what?”
“Then have you ever had an accident?”
Ban Yoo-won hurriedly asked a question to draw attention to the uneasy atmosphere between the chairman and Rika.
Graham nodded heavily in response.
“The president strictly forbids the relationship between professors and students. I do not interfere with what happens between students, but I do not tolerate harming or taking advantage of students using my status as a professor at Union Academy. So, at least on the surface, Professor Ryu Cheol-myeong has never had an inappropriate relationship with a student.”
“On the surface…”
Ban Yu-Won stiffened up and prepared for the shock that was about to come.
Vegan said with a wry smile.
“It’s just a conspiracy theory going around among students, so don’t worry too much about it. Among the students who went on special activities, the one who was reported missing was actually a professor… the same story.”
“It really makes me feel dirty…”
“No matter how powerful the president’s power is, it’s impossible to mark each and every student who participated in extracurricular activities. I don’t know about the associate professor, but if the full professor decides on one person and tries to do something… You know what it feels like?”
“I can understand that Ryu Cheol-myung is not a proper human being at the point when such suspicions come out in the first place.”
Ban Yoo-won made an impression when he remembered that Ryu Cheol-myeong’s gaze at Ruchel was unusual.
Of course, it’s not just Lucille who he sees with those eyes, but the problem is that she belongs to Rebellion.
The shady bullying by the full professor that is happening inside the academy right now.
If this extends to the outside world, such as special activities, then…
“If you’re a person with gossip going around, Cantone is not left out.”
“Tell me what do you do? You are our main enemy.”
At Mira’s words, the chairman frowned and flapped the wings of the skin behind his back once.
“It’s the worst. Pure-blooded high school born in the dimension is fiercely arguing… I’m not from a higher dimension, and I was especially taken by that person as an evil person.”
“By the way, how did you become the student council president?”
“Because I am pretty and strong. Kyahahaha! The president only needs to look good to the students and the president, not the professor!”
I wish I could spit those words out of my mouth.
Ban Yu-Won made an absurd expression, but next to him, Rika affirmed her words with a confused face.
“But it is true. As soon as the chairman entered the school, he met with the president and obtained the right to explore alone, right? I heard that the ice princess in your grade is the same case.”
“Is it?”
“It’s not something that usually happens. Because once in 50 years, it happens once in 100 years.”
“There was a lot of talk that the golden generation of the academy started because of me—.”
The chairman smiled pleasantly and naturally painted my face with gold.
Then he added, looking at Ban Yu-won with a meaningful expression.
“And I feel like it’s going to explode in a splendid way in the fourth generation.”
“…I roughly understood how the president became the president. So what about Cantone?”
When Ban Yu-Won spilled his words, the Chairman showed a disapproving expression, but he meekly returned to the main point and talked about it.
“Just feel free to call me Shati-senpai. As for Cantone, as I said before, he’s pure-blooded, so he doesn’t treat students except for special classes as students. In particular, they have a strict eye on the special selection students- they think they are unnecessary to the academy and are looking for a chance to kick them out.”
What’s wrong with that bastard academy, isn’t it yours?
I remember hearing that the Tower of Babel, not the president, was the standard for selecting special students in the first place.
“It seems to be right.”
“It was he who suggested the direction of the student council. That bastard is the one who gathered the special classes together and turned them into power.”
“What is it?”
“club.”
Mira added in a cold voice.
“It was because of Cantone that I came up with the idea of gathering special selection students together. That human first gathered the special class and created ‘Noblesse.’”
“It sucks.”
“I have several small clubs under my command, but all of them can be regarded as Noblesse. Because you can’t join other than the special class.”
“I rather heard that if a student who entered the special class does not join the designated noblesse club, it will be a big problem?”
It was a natural flow for Ban Yu-won to think of the musical instrument club that Aire and Misty Leche belonged to.
Wouldn’t it be that having them taken away would have a big impact later on…?
“anyway. Just know that the ones we’re up against are like that.”
Ani Shati, the chairman who organized the story rather forcefully, smiled and patted Ban Yu-won on the shoulder.
Mira hardened her expression and held out her hand instead.
“Shati, don’t touch my man carelessly.”
“I’m scared Mira… I’m just saying let’s get along.”
“Kuhm! If this video is uploaded, the solidarity between the Student Council and Rebellion will be clear.”
This time, Vegan stepped in and changed the subject.
“Depending on the external reaction of the video, the academy will have to listen to our voices. The fight starts from there.”
“Glch Glch! Things will escalate. Because one of them has to kneel. … Be careful, I said it like a joke earlier, but there might really be tricks in the special activities.”
“The first activity will be okay because Professor Yumina accompanies me.”
Shati pricked up her ears at Mira’s words.
“Maybe next week?”
“It must be fun. Originally, that time was the most fun. The difficulty level is also very low and you get it. Do you feel like I’ve become some kind of absolute?”
“Then, during summer vacation, taking long-term quests and rolling around without a guide, your mental breakdown is properly broken.”
“But it looks like he’ll just sort it out. You saw him break through the tower.”
“It really is.”
When the topic of special activities came up, people who had been cursing professors all started talking loudly, saying things like seniors, such as I was like this at the time, but it will be difficult in the future.
This is a bit like a college atmosphere. The time when Ban Yu-won laughed at that thought.
“Oh, there were rumors like that.”
Sitting cross-legged on the desk, Rika scratched my thighs with her hands and said as if joking.
“There was a rumor that if there was a student that Cantone didn’t like, he would bully him inside the tower. It was so ridiculous that the professor interfered with the tower, so everyone laughed and moved on.”
“No, please.”
As soon as Ban Yu-won heard that, he lamented.
That’s almost 100%!
“It’s not too late, seniors. If you hear any jokes like that, tell them all right here.”
“huh? I don’t remember even asking that. I’ll tell you later if I remember.”
“I guess so-.”
* * *
“So then everyone laughed and passed it off, but no matter how much you think about it, the current situation is suspicious. Items that teleport us to places we don’t even know are rewards and drops, and all of these guys dealt with telekinesis.”
“okay. But more than that… The Student Council has a lot of female executives. I will cover it.”
After hearing Banyuwon’s story, Ruchel straightened up and clung to him and began to smear her own scent.
He is a talented person who can be 100 times more helpful than Wright if he just rolls his head properly, so why did this kid choose to become a beast himself?
“I thought half of you just insulted me!”
“It is an illusion. Dokgoyeon What do you think?”
Ban Yu-Won, who had neatly given up on listening to Ruchel’s (and, by the way, Wright’s) opinion, looked at Dok-Ko-Yeon and asked.
Of course, his eyes were still plugged into a portkey… no, a jewel bracelet containing teleportation abilities.
Fortunately, unlike the previous treasure chest, the concept of the rod manifested by language magic was slowly consumed, and the bracelet stopped working safely.
“Well, I think it’s a bit premature to doubt just because the source of the power called telekinesis is the same…”
Dokgo-yeon was also looking down at the bracelet with a suspicious expression, but then put her hand in her arms with an expression that reminded me of something.
“Let’s look at the letter. If there really was an outside intervention, it would be obvious just by reading this.”
“Ah, yes.”
With an expression of admiration for his own wisdom, Dokgo-yeon opened the seal and opened the letter.
“how is it?”
“I can’t read.”
Dokgo-yeon handed the letter to Ban Yu-won.
Ban Yu-Won wanted to point out that her earlobes were stained red, but seeing that she was holding the hilt of the short sword with trembling hands, he didn’t dare to say anything and accepted the letter in silence.
“Can you read it?”
“of course. This is my main job.”
In fact, he couldn’t even read it right away.
This is a phenomenon that did not exist on Earth, but there was a case where a language of a higher dimension (typically a magic language) required a little time to interpret after seeing it for the first time.
Still, as his authority grows, the time required for interpretation also decreases—a case like this was completely understood after just looking at it for about a second.
“According to this letter, they say they are concerned about the monster wave situation due to the sudden movement of the crustaceans. Apparently, he wanted to inform the neighboring city of this fact and ask for reinforcements. Originally, the owner of the letter must have been a soldier… Our role was to find the letter from the soldier’s corpse and carry out the mission instead.”
“It is not a treasure.”
This letter was neither a treasure nor a vision.
The pursuers who use telekinesis had framed them for nonsense… It was highly likely that they weren’t the pursuers in Room 34 in the first place.
Light tilted his head and said.
“Then how was it originally?”
“Well…”
I considered the possibility that the condition was to run away from the monster without a pursuer, but if that was the case, the condition of the trick room would not have appeared in the form of ‘don’t take away the letter’.
A human with a clear will If you think about it in such a limited way…
“Wouldn’t it have been the work of someone who originally wanted to ruin the city?”
“It is persuasive. Even if I recall what happened in Room 23, in the chain room, there is a high possibility that I will get involved in a conflict between humans and not just a fight with monsters.”
“Anyway, it is safe to say that there was outside interference. Analyzing our tendencies and sending pursuers, they cleverly take us out of the ‘Route of the Tower’ and send them to their intended destination… It’s not even humid.”
Dok-go-yeon’s eyes narrowed, and the pupils of the cross flashed white.
She pulled out her short sword and tried to cut off the bracelet, but Ban Yu-Won stretched out her arm to stop it.
“I want to analyze it before that, is it okay?”
“Isn’t it just triggering it for no reason?”
“You learned magic for times like this.”
Banyuwon added the concept of ‘stop (停止)’ in the designated area to prevent artifacts from being active.
Then he reached out and touched the artifact.
What he wants to do from now on is to analyze the concept of ‘space movement’ contained in the artifact.
The goal wasn’t space travel per se, but the concept behind it – namely, where this damn Portkey was trying to take them.
‘Because I’ve already learned how to read spatial coordinates while analyzing student IDs.’
The analysis itself is not that difficult as long as this is prevented from triggering.
Ban Yu-Won analyzed the bracelet with additional stop magic from time to time–and made a mysterious expression when he found out the result.
“I think I now know why I was able to get stigmata from them earlier. If we had teleported like this, we might have come face to face with the constellation.”
“Like the previous Observer of the Bay?”
“That’s right. Maybe this constellation is watching us right now?”
Well, it would have been difficult without the intervention of the Constellations to break into the chain room and switch the pursuers.
It seems that he couldn’t interfere right now, perhaps because he used too much energy there, but…
Ban Yu-won snorted and picked up the bracelet.
He took out one of the talismans he had and attached it to the bracelet, consuming all of the talisman’s energy and ‘sealing’ it.
“Can I take it?”
“Still, it’s an artifact, but it’s a waste to throw it away. Rest assured that nothing will happen to you as long as you know who you are.”
―The constellation [Clock of the Toy Corps] is enraged, asking where it touched its patrons.
―The constellation [Breath of Life] admires you for analyzing and sealing the constellation’s ability, while proposing a punishment for the constellation @#$^!# to the Tower.
When you’re about to get hit, you don’t know and let go and solve everything, so you can see they’re trying to put a spoonful on each other.
Ban Yu-won snorted and put the bracelet in his inventory, then listened to the letter.
“Now then, I have a proposal for you guys at the point where you can crush Cantone’s conspiracy and proceed on the normal route.”
“Don’t tell me, I’ll try to guess.”
Dokgoyeon was lost in thought.
Until then, Ruchel, who had been enjoying the hug with Yu-Won Ban, threw a word without thinking.
“Come to think of it, there’s no trick that says you shouldn’t get rid of the letter.”
“AA AA AA! You are always like that! Pretend you don’t know anything and snatch the moment you can show off the most!”
“Kaean!”
“What do you mean, Van? I kept it, so why get rid of it?”
While the furious Dokgoyeon was arguing with Ruchel, Light, who was the only one in the room who did not understand Ban Yuwon’s proposal, tilted his head and stared at him.
Like this stupid but cute guy…
“Think about it, Light. Isn’t this letter asking for outside help? In other words, if we pass through Room 34 with this letter, the next scene will probably be that outer city.”
“Yeah, you’ll be dealing with annoying people again, right? The ultimate goal is to stop the monster wave by working together.”
“That’s right. Then what if I remove the letter from here? By the way, the trick in this room was not to steal the letter, so getting rid of the letter is not breaking the trick. It means that we can proceed normally without retirement.”
“Can’t go to the outer city…? Because there is no letter to deliver?”
“and?”
and.
Where will the party without the letter go?
Will you move out of the chain room and into a regular room? No, it didn’t seem like that even for simple light to think.
“Ummm…Shouldn’t we go back to tell them we couldn’t deliver the letter?”
“That’s right.”
Ban Yuwen grinned as he prepared to set fire to the letter by lighting sparks on his fingertips with elemental magic.
“And a monster wave will come to that city.”
Those who have played a lot of RPGs call it this.
Skip the (annoying) mid-quest and catch the boss right away.
