Taking admission for nothing (236)
Lesson 46. Union Founding Festival – 3
The masquerade was originally more famous for its special matches rather than tournaments.
The cost of a special match is by no means light, and each participating player is making a desperate determination.
It was bound to be different from those who participated in the tournament to get simple prizes prepared by the academy.
“So what is the senior runner-up prize?”
“A mid-level artifact and a VIP membership at Lonica’s five-star hotel.”
To Ban Yu-won’s question, Rika, the head of the External Activities Department, who had just finished the awards ceremony, replied indifferently.
In the tournament that was decided this afternoon, the pair of Rika and Vegan took second place.
Seungri was a 4th grade couple belonging to the special class, but even they were not the strongest in the special class.
The student council knew that Rika and Vegan were going to compete, so they sent a pair that matched the level that could beat them in Noblesse, a club made up of special class students.
“If Graham and the chairman teamed up, they could have beaten them.”
“I, Graham, have a wife waiting at home. It is impossible to leave your wife and be a partner with another woman.”
“Did you see such a hard child! Me and Vegan went out because we’re a couple? If not, we’re the only ones who want to get out, so we have no choice! While holding back the irritation! I mean, you left!”
“Hmm, it was an activity worthy of the position of head of the external activities department.”
“But you’re the runner-up…!”
Mira and Shati would have formed a pair if the tournament had not been limited to male and female couples, but the rules underlying the tournament could not be violated.
In the first place, since the masquerade tournament is an event enjoyed by students, there is no need to compete so enthusiastically, but the student council and Noblesse fought for nothing.
Ban Yu-won, who watched with a bitter smile as Rika stomped her feet and disassembled herself for being pushed by Noblesse, took a step back from Rika and asked Vegan standing next to her.
“So are you going to use it?”
“what?”
“A hotel membership.”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear.”
Vegan pretended to be frightened and shook his head at Ban Yu-Won’s words, but now that his relationship with these people had deepened, Ban Yu-Won was able to read his thoughts quite a bit.
“Still, the two of them worked together to win it, but it’s a waste to count it as something they didn’t have. From the buffet to the bar, there are many convenient services that come with membership, so why don’t you go and have fun just the two of you?”
“…Are you just hanging out at the hotel? together? Isn’t that a bit like a couple?”
There were a lot of things I wanted to say to Vegan, who now denies the couple’s allegations, but now is the time to be kind.
“Don’t think too deeply about it. Come and play with the two of us to commemorate the runner-up. As usual, there is no tower exploration this week, so you have some time.”
“Ummm, but next week is the midterm preparation period.”
“So we should play more this week.”
“That’s right… don’t. OK, okay.”
Vegan, who nodded in agreement, approached Rika, who was still holding on to Graham, and spoke to him.
Rika looked startled upon hearing his words, but nodding her head with a faintly heated expression seemed to be expecting it from the bottom of her heart.
Graham, who was clever in many ways in this respect, slipped away so that the two could talk, but when he met the boy’s eyes, he blinked one eye.
“Heh, that’s simple.”
“Ah, I was already tired because of my juniors and Mira, but to add another couple to the student council.”
To Shati who came up behind him and whispered, Ban Yu-won replied with a snort.
“I thought the two of us would get together sooner or later. I just gave him a little push on the back.”
“Isn’t it good to hesitate, cross each other, and cry?”
“I thought the president would say something like that.”
In case someone isn’t a devil, it’s very nice to occasionally spit out lines that are faithful to one’s identity.
Ban Yoo-won, who accepted it with a smile, looked behind her and asked, feeling empty.
“What about the mummy?”
“He said he wouldn’t come because he didn’t want to see his junior get along with another woman.”
“You are the Jealous Queen.”
The tournament awards ceremony is over and the venue is just being cleaned up.
From the beginning of the tournament to the presentation of prizes, everything was just a bridesmaid to decorate the special competition that was about to begin.
“So, where is the girl who is monopolizing our mummy’s jealousy these days?”
“I’m shutting myself in the training room to concentrate. I will come before the match starts.”
“Then what about your second partner?”
“second? iced coffee.”
In a situation where all the student council executives are gathered to support Rika and Vegan, who participated in the tournament on behalf of the student council, there is only one person left.
It was Aire who would be with Ban Yu-won as his partner in the second special match today.
“A tower.”
“…tower?”
“I entered that a large-scale adjustment was needed to reveal the power in a narrow way without revealing the identity. A tower is the best way to rampage without causing damage to the outside world.”
“Is there anyone who still doesn’t know who he is?”
“It’s like a magical girl. That’s what everyone knows and pretends not to know.”
Soon after, the stadium was cleared and for some reason a larger number of spectators filled the seats than at the tournament final.
Not only the students of the academy, but all the visitors to Union Academy were rushing in as if they had been waiting for this moment.
If it wasn’t for the Space Expansion Magic, this large number wouldn’t have been able to enter.
“Then, from now on, we will start a special match for the masquerade ball to compete for the honor of the students. The first match is Ban Yu-Won & Dok-Ko-Yeon Pair and Russein Rowoonpalomer Equinas Ortima & Ulrike Prominence Pair.”
“Your name still sucks.”
I put a message to Dok-go-yeon and stood up.
The next moment, Dokgoyeon, covered from the top of his nose to his forehead with a pure white mask, appeared next to him.
“What, did you learn how to move to space with your student ID?”
“I just walked quickly.”
“I’m sorry.”
He could no longer resist Dok-go-yeon, who was urging him with his eyes, so he hurriedly took out his mask and put it on.
A mask with the same structure as Dokgoyeon’s, but with a black color.
“It’s a couple look. Although the image is the opposite.”
“So cool.”
“Yeah, I think it was good that Mira didn’t come.”
“joy.”
Dok-go-yeon, who dismissed Shati’s words with multiple meanings with a single snort, jumped up and landed on the field.
“I know the abilities of the two of you, but be careful, Junior Yuwon. A teenage family is not a teenage family for nothing.”
“I know. Thank you for caring though.”
I’ll paint it and come back.
Ban Yu-won, who declared briefly, jumped down to the stadium following Dok-go-yeon and landed.
The chairman, who is heated by the provocative appearance of the two, the high-ranking people of the upper dimension who are indignant without fail.
Ban Yoo-won was contemplating whether to pull out a sword and get his form, but he flinched at the gaze of Dok-go-yeon who read his thoughts like a ghost and glared at him.
A little later than them, Lucie Ortima and Ulrike Prominence, who rose from the waiting area, walked into the arena.
Unlike the half-yuwon pair with matching masks, it was truly like a teenage family to completely ignore the original purpose of the mask, which was to hide one’s identity by putting on a splendid mask engraved with the inscription of each family.
“Ohhh… I never thought I’d really see the descendants of teenage families joining forces.”
“Since those two families drank water properly from a kid from a mere lower dimension, there was no need to be polite to each other now, right? It’s fortunate that the heirs seem to have let go of their pride.”
“It would be really funny if I lost this time.”
“Maybe the position of the family will really be reversed… It’s fun, it’s really fun, yes.”
The appearance of two teenage heirs, Ortima and Prominence, instantly heated up the atmosphere in the venue.
As the things that happened with the anti-yuwon Rebellion over the last semester and vacation were known to all dimensions, the view of them was not very positive.
Of course, in this special match, the two of them had their own wants, but even putting that aside, it became a match that they couldn’t back down for the sake of the family’s image and their position as their heirs.
“Ha…”
Luciain Ortima clicked her tongue as she stared at the half-amusement, wearing a fancy mask on her face and an ornate robe that was not suitable for violent movements.
“A guy who doesn’t know the subject has managed to come all the way to this place.”
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think we’ve defeated fierce competition.”
“compete? Who else can compete with me? I just came out to open her eyes and punish the cloth for forgetting its place and presumptuously raising its head.”
In fact, Banyuwon hadn’t yet guessed why the tournament and the special match were held separately, but Ortima was proving the reason now.
The nobles of teenage families are not in their temper to fight for superiority or inferiority!
In fact, even the pair representing Noblesse in the tournament would not have appeared in the tournament if it had not been for the purpose of defeating the student council.
Participating in the tournament itself was a kind of punishment game for them.
“I will deal with you.”
“Yes, yes.”
As the half-joking man, completely fed up with Ortima’s arrogance, gave up responding and drew his sword, Ortima looked back at Ulrike as if she thought she was the coolest person right now and made a promise.
“As I told you before, Prominence sunbaenim, you just need to stop her for a moment.”
“Whoops, that doesn’t matter… but it doesn’t really matter if I defeat that girl, right?”
“…of course.”
After hearing Ulrike’s confident declaration, Ban Yu-won smiled and whispered to Dok-go-yeon.
“Kite We won!”
“I’m concentrating right now, so don’t get excited and flutter.”
“Unpleasant mongrel. Get away from her.”
Ortima Pair builds up the flags step by step to the point that she would not be able to do that no matter who ordered her.
Dok-go-yeon looked back at Ban Yu-won with his fists clenched tightly, as if his fists were crying at Ortima’s sticky gaze, which was sticking to him.
“I have to show that I am suitable for your partner.”
“is it so? …Well then, I’ll bear with it this time.”
No matter how much I wear a mask, I can’t hide the heartwarming smile that blooms on my lips.
Ortima and Ulrike, who had a crush on each other because they intuited the two of them from close range, had their eyes stained red as if they had used a berserk skill.
“If it was a provocation, it was great.”
“Ha… I’m really annoyed. There are more and more insignificant girls….”
“A greeting before the match is enough. Players on both sides must withdraw to the line indicated.”
The associate professor oversaw the tournament, but surprisingly, it was the academy’s vice-chancellor, Zenon, who supervised and judged this special match.
Maybe it’s because the players in the special matches are usually stronger than the players in the tournament… No, why are there alternative tournaments?
As soon as the players, who had heated up to the fullest, came to their senses at Zenon’s cool and heavy voice, and came to their designated positions, he opened his mouth again.
“Then, as soon as the signal is given, we will start the special match.”
The number 3 floated in the air.
it turns into 2.
change back to 1.
The moment after it becomes zero and disappears like a phantom.
“Burn it to the point where every ash remains!”
Ulrike Prominence, who was very excited, opened fire first.
Ban Yu-won tried to use his power to stop it, but faced dozens of iron balls protruding beyond the flames, he kicked his tongue and retreated.
I have no choice but to believe in Dokgoyeon’s ability and entrust him with Ulrike’s opponent!
Now is the time to deal with Ortima’s successor, who is concentrating all of his mana into one person by channeling the power of control.
“Kneel!”
Iron marbles blocking all sides and attacking.
I knew the mechanism because Dokgoyeon had picked up one of them before, but the formidable magic power contained in each bead was enough to make me daunted.
It’s foolish to counterattack one by one. Then…
“Cut off!”
He swung the longsword of the beheader and cut all the strings of power between Ortima and the iron ball he controlled.
Surprisingly, the iron marbles that attacked him from all directions got caught on the tracks they were not supposed to reach and fell to the ground.
“You’re a talent I haven’t seen before.”
“It is a special service. thank you?”
“But…if that’s all you can’t beat me!”
-Wow.
There was no way that Lucien Ortima’s authority could be blocked that easily.
Watching the iron marbles that had lost control and bounced in all directions regained their strength and rushed towards him, Ban Yu-Won also prepared a trump card to deal with him
…
“…Ka Hak.”
The prominence, which had been boiling with the momentum to fill the arena, disappeared in an instant.
Ban Yu-Won and Ortima, who were each displaying pieces of authority and estimating the number of opponents, opened their eyes wide and looked back at Ulrike.
There, Ulrike fell unconscious and Dokgoyeon stepped on her head.
“Yeon…”
“Ah. You can do it slowly, won.”
Dokgoyeon, who finished off his opponent without even pulling out his short sword, ripped off the mask from the fainting Ulrike’s face and crumpled it, laughing.
“I must be watching your performance here.”
“….”
“….”
Wouldn’t Dok-goyeon be able to destroy both Ortima and Ulrike by herself?
Ban Yu-Won immediately came up with such a thought, but he kept his mouth shut as he looked at Dok-Go-Yeon, who was expecting his performance, and turned to Ortima.
