Taking admission for nothing (197)
Lesson 39. I have to have him – 2
The heir to the teenage family Prominence―― Team Phoenix, led by Ulrike Prominence, successfully completed a two-week special activity.
It had to be perfect for perfection, so it filled almost the entire period, but as it solidified the foundation of the dimension without wasting time, the highest evaluation is undoubtedly the level.
“Prominence-nim, are you really okay?”
“Yes, of course.”
However, the members of Team Phoenix were looking anxiously at the team leader who led them, because her condition had become a little strange since about a week ago.
Even when we are together, there are many times when we are absent-minded, and whenever we have a chance, we lock ourselves in our own space and do something.
There were members of the team who thought they might have discovered something in this dimension, but I couldn’t bear to ask her directly.
In the end, a week passed in a strange atmosphere, and after special activities, he returned to Union.
After submitting the special activity report, the free party gathered in front of the warp gate that transported each student to their hometown using the power of the Tower of Babel, not using the dimension line that Union Academy boasts.
All students who completed special activities were supposed to return using this gate, unless accompanied by a full-time professor who was entrusted with full authority by the president.
“Well then, everyone has been through a lot. Have a nice vacation.”
“Have a nice vacation, Prominence!”
“It was an honor to be able to work with Prominence this semester too!”
The team members disappear one by one as they greet their classmates in the same grade too politely.
Ulrike Prominence sent them off with a gentle smile… but the moment everyone disappeared, he made a cold expression as if he had taken off his mask and threw it away.
“It’s insignificant… How can it be that there are only so many insignificant things.”
Until this special activity, they were precious talents in her eyes, but now they feel incompetent like scarecrows standing in the rice field on an autumn day.
Those who were capable did not suddenly change.
Her standards had only changed.
Yes, from watching the Rebellion Channel.
‘Ban Yu-won, who was nothing more than a lowly person without any ability, obtained specifications that reached the level of a graduate in just one semester. Moreover, looking at the fact that special phenomena occur every time he climbs the tower, and the fact that he was chosen by Union in a dimension where there was nothing… He must be a person with a deep relationship with Union!’
I don’t like it, but the abilities of the thousand things that accompany him are not too bad.
It couldn’t be denied that all of them were superior to their teammates.
Of course, Ban Yu-won is the most outstanding among them.
There was nothing lacking in ability, intelligence, and beautiful appearance to keep next to him.
The high-nosed fairy girl is completely obsessed with him, so it must not be her own illusion.
‘It’s a waste for that girl… I should have it as well.’
At first, I was watching the channels to be wary of him and come up with countermeasures in preparation for the possibility, but while watching the video, Ulrike’s thoughts changed.
Of course, he has talents and insights that are dangerous to leave alone, but that doesn’t mean you have to rule him out unconditionally.
Anyway, he is a talented person from a humble dimension with no traditions or customs.
Since he has nothing to insist on or be courted by, wouldn’t he be able to find the right path by excluding the causes that instilled him with wrong thoughts and made him do wrong things?
It’s about dropping one of the incompetents on the team and filling the void.
The driving force that moves Ulrike now has been replaced by a desire for a semi-amusement.
‘Even if I don’t like it now, I was going to gradually nurture them over time, but after discovering the jewels that have already been completed, I can’t really look forward to their future.’
She clicked her tongue and moved her feet to the main building of the academy, not to the gate in front of her eyes.
The main building, where lectures were actively held during the semester, was quietly asleep during the vacation.
Afraid that she might wake the sleeping monster, she walked carefully and eventually reached the spiral staircase from the 6th floor of the main building to the top.
Above this were the professor’s offices of each professor, and this spiral staircase was enchanted to throw away the absent-minded and direct those who had business to their destination.
Ulrike’s destination was, of course, the room of her advisor, Clio Hecate.
‘Magic that can’t be controlled even by the authority of Prominence… It’s also unpleasant.’
While muttering swear words inside, I diligently move my steps and climb the spiral staircase that goes round and round.
No matter how many times he climbed the stairs, Ulrike looked up and saw his destination.
She took a deep breath with the door in front of her, and at the exact moment she was about to knock, the door opened on its own, and a voice greeted her from beyond.
“Welcome, my dear disciple.”
“iced coffee.”
It was like hiding his presence, but Ulrike laughed bitterly and bowed his head deeply as soon as he stepped inside.
“I’m back after finishing my special activities, Master.”
“I don’t think I came here to say hello. Come, sit down.”
A monster who wears a shimmering bandage all over his body and a robe over it.
However, the whole body wasn’t enough, and the purple eyes revealed through the bandages that wrapped around the face radiated unusual energy, making even Ulrike, the heir to the teenage family, shrink.
Clio Hecate The most mysterious existence in this academy, excluding the president and Zenon.
None of what she said went unfulfilled, and there was no one who was hostile to her and the end was good.
Other professors and students called her ‘The Prophet of Destiny’ with awe.
“My steps on the stairs were light. Is it love?”
“no!”
As soon as he sat down, Ulrike shook his head in fright at the surprise attack, but admitted that his counseling was similar.
“I have juniors who I want to bring to my team no matter what, because of their skills.”
“You are a sophomore, so if you are a junior, you must only be in the first year. You probably mean the semi-amusement students.”
“…That’s right, Master.”
“Compared to the beginning of the second semester, there is no other person to choose who has become the most famous now. It wasn’t even foreseeable.”
Hecate unwrapped the end of the bandage that wrapped around her body like a mummy and brought a teapot and teacup.
She deftly poured out the tea with only a bandage, without moving her hands at all, and held out her cup in front of her.
“Then can you tell me how you found out about your junior?”
“Keuheum Actually, it’s not a very close relationship…” No
matter how much I trust and depend on my teacher, I can’t even tell you about the darkness of Prominence.
Even if she already knew about it.
Especially in the academy where monsters live.
“It was a chance to see the Unitube channel run by that junior. He’s young and talented, but unfortunately he’s gone astray and is hanging out with a bunch of bad guys, so I’m going to have to save him…” ”
Aha… You’re sure to be jealous of the fairy princess who is popular at the academy for her beauty and abilities. I also heard rumors that the two had a close relationship.”
“——!”
I thought my breathing had stopped.
She opened her eyes in displeasure at the teacher who was deliberately stabbing her even though he was seeing through her heart, and she smiled ahaha– and put her mouth on her teacup.
“Isn’t that nice? Love is essentially taking each other away.”
“It is not love.”
“I have no intention of setting out theories about that ambiguous feeling. If one thing is certain, the closest desire to it is exclusivity. You want to monopolize him?”
“That’s… yes, but.”
At the disciple’s candid reply, Hecate smiled.
“But what to do with this? To put it bluntly, it is impossible to team up with students from different grades.”
Then, with a smile on his face, he said something that pinned her hopes to the bottom of the abyss.
Of course, Ulrike, who was well aware of this fact, asked with a serious expression.
“What can I do with Master’s power?”
“Think carefully, Ulrike. The reason why different grades cannot form teams is simple. Because once you form a team, you have no choice but to stay together until the end. Also, if you change teams, you have to climb the tower all over again.”
“I have only finished the first semester of my second year, so it is not too late. Even in the 3rd and 4th grade, there are not a few cases where you experience retirement and climb the tower again…” “If
you graduate first, the 5th grader has to climb the tower again from the beginning.”
“It is nothing to worry about. He will follow me into my family when I graduate. Maybe before that, conquer the tower with me and you won’t have to climb it anymore.”
Seeing the disciple confidently asserting a subject he had never met with Ban Yu-won, the master sighed and touched his forehead.
Since she has never been unable to get what she wanted, she thinks that a man’s heart can easily be obtained.
This is something more terrifying than a princess bottle.
However, while Hecate foresaw her dangerous thoughts and her nightmares…
“It is not that there are no exceptions. There is a precedent for teaming up with someone from a different grade when it was really unavoidable.”
He talked about the possibility of being the worst for someone inevitably for his own purposes.
“Master!”
“Just keep in mind.”
She gave a earnest warning to the apprentice who grabbed her bandaged hand.
“This is not something a student can aim for on their own. That’s because… it’s only possible without the members of the team.”
“If there are no members of the team…? Can all his teammates disappear?”
“It’s not just that. If you want to prepare for the possibility, you must not have a team member from Phoenix. That way, even if other students intervene, won’t there be an empty seat?”
“aha!”
It was a simple story!
Ulrike Prominence clapped her hands in pure joy.
“That is what I was trying to do from the beginning. No need to worry about Master!”
“Ulike, my lovely disciple.”
“oh! The disciple again showed disdain in front of Master.”
Hecate smiled sadly at the disciple who knocked her mouth and lowered her head in surprise at the teacher’s call.
“It’s okay after reflecting on yourself, but in the future, be careful when you say something. It will be irreversible.”
“Master…”
Hecate’s purple eyes sparkled deeply.
The future she foresaw from the moment she first met Ulrike Prominence’s false heir flashed past her eyes again.
Ulrike’s actions stemming from petty greed awaken the long-hidden truth and legend.
The real one who was kicked out by the fake will realize his position and try to come back.
In the end, the situation will spread out of control and involve the entire universe.
After learning everything about the end of the banquet in hell, she probably cursed Hecate for cheating on her, but…
‘The owner of the tower will return.’
‘I will destroy all the old things and establish a new order to make the whole universe peaceful.’
There is no way to take back the prophecy that I have already spoken about.
In order to complete her prophecy, on that day, Hecate willingly sounded the signal flare that drew countless people to the living hell.
