Enrollment for nothing (214)
Lesson 42. Image change – 4
“Yuwon!”
“Mummy!”
The reunion with Mira, which took place in the flower garden outside the student cafeteria the next morning, was like a scene from a movie.
As soon as she finds him, Mira leans forward and runs precariously as if she might fall at any moment.
Ban Yu-won runs to her in a hurry and picks it up, spinning around on the spot.
It felt more like a movie because it was set in the garden of Union, which is said to have gathered flowers from all dimensions as a joke.
Ban Yu-won kissed Mi-ra briefly, then put her on the floor and asked.
“Are you satisfied?”
“Yeah, but it would have been fine if it had gone around one more lap. Did you take the teak properly?”
―Wui Ying
“My princess has awakened to strange showmanship…”
“Because on the channel, Ruchel is already being treated as your royal wife. Even the smallest details have to appeal.”
Ban Yu-won just shook his head at Mi-ra’s firm words.
Although the formal lectures will start tomorrow, all the students have already returned to the academy.
Of course there were a lot of people gathered at the breakfast room, but Mira didn’t care about the gaze and created a scene that seemed to emphasize the relationship between herself and the half-yuwon.
To be honest, the reunion itself was already held last night.
Even Ban Yu-won was mobilized for the play because of the princess’s foolishness to want to direct this scene purely.
“There is a student council meeting today, so make sure to attend.”
In return for the kiss earlier, Mi-ra kissed Ban Yu-won on the cheek and took a half-step back as she spoke, with purple eyes shining mysteriously.
Charming eyes that even feel such an ominous feeling that you will never be able to get out of them if you lose your guard even a little bit.
Ban Yu-won tried to take his gaze away from those pupils and replied.
“Ah, come to think of it, it wasn’t until the second semester that I was formally appointed as the head of the planning department.”
“There is that too. Today, representative students from each faculty are also invited to participate.”
“Each department…?”
Ban Yoo-won tilted his head at an unfamiliar word that could only come out at a university, and soon remembered that there was a major in Union.
“You call that undergraduate.”
“huh. You know how to choose a professor as you go up to the second year? Then, you become a student in the department that the professor is in charge of. Even though it is a faculty, it is actually a mentoring system, but the students representing each faculty are usually treated as the professor’s proxy and have a strong voice. That’s why I participate in student council meetings. … Do you remember how you got that brooch on your chest?”
“aha.”
Ban Yoo-won vomited exclamations as he looked at the flower-shaped jewelry brooch that Yumina had put on him.
I remembered hearing that Yumina’s Magic Combat Studies was a popular subject for all magic users in the academy.
Even at the beginning of admission, there was a lot of talk here and there that such a Yumina chose Ban Yu-Won as her proxy…
Ban Yu-Won’s complexion turned pale when she realized the true meaning of the brooch.
“…wait for a sec. Then am I the representative of the Magic Combat Department?”
“Of course you’re still in first grade. In the first place, not everyone can receive a brooch because they are representatives of the department.”
The brooch that Professor Campanella gave me was dangling from Mira’s chest as she said that.
“But the recipients of the brooch were all representatives of the faculty without exception. Except for you.”
“A representative student from the Faculty of Magic will also come to the meeting that will be held today…”
Indeed, just thinking about how that person would react to seeing herself made her stomach ache.
But Mira dismissed his concerns with a snort.
“It’s just that I wasn’t chosen by Professor Yumina because of my lack of ability, so you don’t have to worry about it. It’s the other side that needs to be taken care of.”
“What if the other side?”
“Prominence.”
The hatred that bloomed from the depths of Mira’s eyes as she uttered those words seemed to be clearly visible even in Banyuwon’s eyes.
“Ulike Prominence is the representative student of the Faculty of Mysteries.”
* * * As
soon as I opened the door to the student council room and entered, someone greeted the two of them with arms crossed.
Red skin wings and horns. Vertically split pupils like snake eyes.
Her hair was burning red around her waist, probably cut a little short during vacation.
The student council president, Shati, was still beautiful, and the spirit she exuded grew stronger.
“You’ve been fine, Chairman.”
“Ahh, our planning department manager!”
“Where?”
As soon as she saw Banyuwon, Mira stopped Shati from trying to hug him with her arms wide open like an over-the-top American.
“Kyahahahaha! Then we should hug my mummy instead!”
“Aren’t you going? Your hair is hot!”
I turned my head thinking that the relationship between the two had grown stronger during the vacation, and the members I had seen a few times were gathered.
Secretary General Graham, who is unnecessarily solemn and gives the impression of the eldest to a third-year subject like Mira and Shati.
Similarly, Vegan Delawalker, the accountant director, is a handsome third-year student who gives off a smart impression, but the other members are overly individualistic.
In reality, she is a fourth-year student who is the oldest student council member, but Rika, the head of the external activities department, looks the youngest due to her small size.
“How have you all been?”
“That is what we want to ask. There was such a big thing, but I managed to come back safely. I’m really glad.”
“I’ve been indebted to you from before… I’m sorry I couldn’t be of much help. It’s okay inside the academy, but dealing with a teenage family outside is tough.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders and replied to Rika and Vegan’s sincere words.
“It’s okay because I overcame it safely. Besides, you’re saying that the academy will help you deal with Prominence, right?”
“Yes, of course! A bitch who tries to sway people with power is the main enemy of our student council!”
What Prominence did during this vacation was a big incident that literally tried to trample a dimension by mobilizing the Oak Wave, and as such, it would have been widely known even if Banyuwon hadn’t broadcast it live on the channel.
On the surface, it was packaged as a conspiracy runaway, but no one truly believed it.
“I’m really sorry, junior. My juniors are having a hard time, but I can’t help them directly…”
Meanwhile, Graham, who was the first to meet Ban Yu-won at the student council, sincerely apologized with a downcast look.
“My wife’s birth was imminent… so I couldn’t leave her. sorry.”
“No, then of course I have to stay by my wife’s side. So, did you have a good child?”
“I got it safely. Thank you for your concern.”
Every time he talked to Graham, Ban Yu-Won felt strangely reminded of Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken.
But I dare not say such a thought out of my mouth.
Because there are only two women around him who can actively carry out his idea
… come over here and sit down. The meeting will begin soon.”
Before I knew it, a fairly wide round table appeared in the center of the student council room.
The place of the semi-yuwon was arranged between Mira and Shati, which was completely intentional.
In order to provoke Ulrike Prominence, he made him sit among the female members.
Shati suggested skinship to maximize the effect, but was stopped by Mira.
Mira pulled Banyuwon towards herself and wrapped her arms around her as if to protect her from Shati, guarding her.
“You can’t bring in tigers to drive out wolves.”
“Because our mummy is also very cute.”
“Chairman Public Relations Department. It’s time for the faculty representatives to enter the room, so please stop.”
As soon as all the student council executives found their seats and sat down, the door to the student council room opened.
Eight of the full professors were in charge of the department, excluding Zenon, the vice-president, so there were of course eight representative students.
However, the number of students entering the student council room was six because Shati, the representative student of the Artifact Production Department and the Mira Mamul Ecology Department, was present.
“By the way, can Mira’s representative student also serve as the student council?”
As I watched the students enter the student council room one by one, I whispered a question to Mira, and she answered with a faint smile.
“No problem. The representative student is only the face representing the faculty, not in a position to confront the student council. Rather, it would be difficult if the special class took up all the representative student seats, so it is better for the student council executive to become the representative student. It’s a problem because it’s difficult to do that.”
Mira’s words made me understand.
Come to think of it, that might have been the reason why Graham invited Banyuwon to the student council for the first time.
I’m still in the first year, so I’m not qualified, but next year, Ban Yu-won, who has Yumina’s brooch, will push out the current representative and automatically become the representative of the Magic Combat Department… ‘After all, it means that I don’t have the right to choose a school
. This cute older sister did a good job tricking me.’
It should be possible for him to return the brooch and choose another department if he wanted to, but how easy would that be?
When such a situation happened, Mina’s older sister… Ban Yu-won trembled as she recalled Yumina’s reaction, but she raised her head and a student’s eyes met.
“Ah….”
“….”
Vivid red hair that reminded him of his older sister.
Red eyes that shone brightly as if carved from rubies.
It is believed that the soul was carved by a master craftsman of the rare era, and it felt extremely elegant and strong at the same time.
Yes, it was as if he had literally swallowed everything and turned a blazing flame into a person.
Even if no one taught her that she was the successor of Prominence, the family that controls the unquenchable flame, she could understand it well…
Seeing all of that, Ban Yu-won felt a strong sense of incongruity.
Because it didn’t seem like the first time I saw it.
‘I’d believe them even if they were sisters?’
Seeing Ban Yu-Won attached to Mira, everything, even the raised eyes, was similar to her older sister.
That is, with the older sister who has awakened and changed the unquenchable flame.
He stuck his tongue out and looked away from her at the thought of the terrifying power of the veins.
Ever since I was on Earth, it was a national rule not to make eye contact with my sister for more than three seconds.
It’s not like siblings stare directly at each other.
“…!”
“It works, Planning Manager! good job!”
“?!”
Suddenly, Shati whispered in his ear, and Ban Yu-wen was startled and shuddered.
Thanks to the operation of the prayer sword, he knew of her approach, but when a woman suddenly approached him, his body reacted inevitably.
“Did I do nothing?”
“huh? Wasn’t it acting that you just looked at like a bug?”
It was because the habit of dealing with her sister when she was on Earth automatically popped out…
But before Ban Yu-Won could explain anything, a hand protruded from the other side and pushed Shati away.
Of course it was Mira.
“Shati really want to try it with me?”
“No, you can’t even whisper! You are jealous!”
As he had initially worried, internal conflicts in the student council were proceeding smoothly.
Ban Yu-Won raised his head, blaming himself for letting Shati arrange himself like this in the first place… and then found Ulrike Prominence staring at the women on both sides of him as if to kill him.
I hate to admit it, but Shati’s intentions were working correctly!
“Since the student council executives and representative students are all seated, let’s start the meeting, Chairman.”
Vegan raised the monocle over his eyes and called out to Shati in a calm voice.
As soon as Mira and Shati, who had been growling just a moment ago, heard those words, they returned to their calm state and sat down.
“Well then, let’s start the first student council meeting this semester. This meeting will focus on the discussion on the founding of the Union in six weeks…”
“I have a suggestion.”
At the very moment Shati announced the opening, there was someone who quickly raised her hand, and it was Ulrike Prominence.
This vacation, everyone who knows about her family and exactly what she led is paying attention to what kind of shame she wants to appear like this from the beginning of the meeting.
“Sorry to interrupt. But I wonder if there is something that needs to be discussed first in this meeting.”
Ulrike Prominence’s gentle and slick way of speaking had the magic to dispel the wariness of those who knew her true nature.
As Ban Yu-won was also smiling bitterly, saying that teenage families are different, Ulrike, who met his eyes, smiled softly as if he had met his eyes for the first time.
“It’s the start of the second semester, when the student council gets really busy, and there’s no vice president, right? I think the order is to fill that position first.”
“Who doesn’t have a vice-president right now…!”
Ketra, who was the vice president of the student council, belonged to the Crimson Spear, a dimensional pirate group.
And the force behind the Crimson Spear was the Prominence family to which Ulrike Prominence belongs.
Of course, she had no direct connection to his death, and the fact that he was a dimensional pirate was a fact that the student council had to hide… Nevertheless, Shati couldn’t forgive Ulrike for speaking so lightly about Ketra’s absence.
but.
“So I suggest that we officially elect a vice-president before starting preparations for the founding ceremony in earnest.”
With a clicking sound, Ulrike spoke as he stretched out his fan and covered his mouth.
Is there even a law in this world that says that young lady characters must carry a hand fan?
Because of that, I reacted stupidly to her next words.
“And as a candidate, I would like to recommend a classmate who is also here now.”
“…Eh?”
