I went to school for nothing (317)
Lesson 62. Change – 2
The final exam was very boring.
Full professor Talia Liliana Campanella couldn’t recover from the wounds suffered in the last Union invasion, so all artifact-type tests were replaced with assignments.
Zenon, who must have inflicted physical and psychological damage on Professor Campanella, disappeared without a trace, and Babylon and the Constellations, one of the most noteworthy subjects in the final exam evaluation, were canceled altogether.
The problem wasn’t just with the professors, either.
This is because not only Dok Go-yeon, a strong candidate for first place, has disappeared, but also because the heir to the teenage family, Lucien Ortima, has not returned.
I don’t think he will quit the academy at all… but as a banyuwon who knew that he had Dok-go-yeon in his heart, he couldn’t help but worry about his future.
So, in the practical evaluation of the final exam, the only rivals who compete for first place in the first grade are actually Ban Yu-won and Aire.
“abstention.”
“Are you really going to do this?”
“The dragon’s power is not directed at close friends.”
Even that Aire abstained in vain before the confrontation with Banyuwon.
She felt like she had changed a bit since the previous subjugation of Zenon.
Well, in contact with dragon soldiers who still have traces of the true dragon? By linking with Asha and gaining experience in dealing with breath?
Or did he feel something while confronting Zenon?
As before, she felt obsessed with her identity as a dragon.
“Aire… If you have any concerns, you can always consult with me. know?”
“I am the one who wants to consult.”
On the other hand, her thoughts on Banyuwon also seemed to escalate day by day.
Originally expressionless, it was difficult to read her emotions, but now she was looking at Banyuwon with an expression that clearly reflected her heart.
“If you are having a hard time, always look forward to it. I can do better than Asha.”
“Asha will be angry if she hears it, but that’s right. I’ll ask you then.”
“In that sense, I have a suggestion.”
After the futile confrontation ended due to Aire’s abstention, she held Ban Yu-Won’s hand tightly and spoke cautiously.
“Rebellion… I want to go in.”
“Ayre.”
“Let’s climb the tower together. I want to be by your side.”
She didn’t say anything about joining Class 11 anymore.
However, it was an unreasonable demand beyond that… Rebellion was demanding that he give up the tower exploration record he had accumulated for a year and start climbing with him from the first room.
Yes, even if they belong to different classes, the same freshman can freely form a team, and Aire, who is an independent child in the special class, doesn’t have to worry about the attention of the other special class members, so it’s possible to form a team itself.
“Ayre.”
“Tell me a little more about your true feelings.”
Ayre continued to speak while adding strength to the hand that held his hand.
“I’m sure I won’t be able to see the end if it’s not by your side.”
“Did you know we’ve gone up to 300 rooms now? If I want to explore with you, I have to start over from Room 1.”
“If I join the team, I can quickly make up for that loss.”
I guess so.
In this expedition, Aire showed off her ridiculous abilities even more.
Although… it didn’t work very well against Zenon, but it was practically the same for everyone except for Dokgoyeon and Shati.
The more he examined it, the more he realized that Aire’s proposal was flawless, but Ban Yu-wen hesitated to answer.
It was because I thought that Aire would occupy the vacant seat of Dokgoyeon.
‘Of course, it is essential to climb the tower with a powerful helper even to save the kite. Even if the three of us climb the tower without Aire, it will be a record that will disappear without meaning after we rescue the kite, so we don’t have to worry about it.’
Yes, I already know rationally.
However, the heart that remembers Dok-go-yeon rejected it.
She gives too much meaning to the vacant seat she has left and pushes away Aire, who is trying to enter it.
“――Whoa.”
Ban Yuyuan took a deep breath and blew such a heart away.
It was to save Dokgo-yeon, not anything else.
There is no time for weak escapism.
“Yes please. Irene will accept you as Rebellion.”
“policy…!”
Upon hearing his confirmation, Aire took a step closer to him with twinkling eyes.
Ban Yu-Won now knew that Aire’s feelings for him had already surpassed her simple crush on a friend.
Right now, I just felt grateful and sorry for her.
Because I lost something so big and now I couldn’t afford to accept someone else in my heart.
Ban Yu-won said, trying hard not to show such feelings as much as possible.
“I’m glad I decided now. Let’s show it properly in the long-term exploration for two weeks when the final exams are over.”
“Happy. … very happy.”
Even though she made a strong proposal, she must have harbored anxiety that it would not be accepted until the end. As a noble dragon, she even had tears in her eyes.
Ban Yu-won held her hand and smiled vaguely.
This news was also known to Rebellion’s honorary members Mira and Shati during the day.
Mira had never hated the fact that she was Ban Yu-Won’s senior.
“I also wanted to climb the top with you… What if that lizard wags its tail at you?”
“What can we do to make our harem stronger?”
At Shati’s natural reply, Mira glared at her, but she didn’t seem to be hurt in the slightest.
Perhaps it was because he had awakened his annihilation magic thanks to Banyuwon, and because he realized many things in the fierce battle with Zenon, the great senior who handles annihilation magic, he defeated Mira and other competitors by an overwhelming margin and took the top spot in the third year.
“Shati, where did you learn such a beast-man-like idea?”
“Lucel――.”
“No, wait. Did you say our harem earlier?”
“A slip of the tongue――.”
“…Shati?”
* * *
As soon as the final exams were over, an appointment was made for a meeting with Banyuwon and Ulrike Prominence.
In fact, she came back to the academy and wanted to meet him right away, but Ban Yu-won, who had lost her love for Dok-go, was in no state to be in contact with others, so she refused all the time… Now she finally has a little bit of room in her heart.
“Welcome, Yuwon.”
“sir?”
“Since he is the younger brother of the head of household, this is how I should call him.”
When I met Ulrike again, what should I say, he seemed very aloof.
It must be because the arrogance and bravado that made up her have disappeared as if washed away.
His pride as heir to a teenage family was shattered in the face of the rightful usurper, Ban Yu-mi, replaced by affection and loyalty to Ban Yu-won.
Ulrike was also aware that she was now very distorted, but she liked her new self very much.
The fact that he was relieved of the responsibility of being the successor that he had been carrying since he was born must have had a significant impact on that.
“Please sit down. There is so much to tell you about the changes that have taken place in Prominence.”
“I don’t think I need to know that.”
“You should know. As long as the head of the household is not married, Yoo-won is the most likely candidate for the next head of the family.
“you?”
“I am Yuwon-nim’s accessory.”
Ulrike smiled softly as he said that.
“Thank you for thinking of me. But I am happy now.”
Umm, Ban Yu-won groaned.
She was pretty but filthy pretty, but her high-handed attitude and stance eroded all of her charms, and now she’s finally starting to use her looks properly, so my heart is pounding.
If Dok-go-yeon hadn’t kept his eyes wide open in his imagination, he might have moved on to a stern imagination.
“First, let’s look at this quarter’s financial statements. Fortunately, this battle for the prominence family didn’t have a big impact on the family’s upward movement. There are a few families that have notified us of the unilateral termination of the contract, but they will soon change their minds. It’s a fact that the entire teenage dimension will soon know that the family heads of this generation are stronger and bolder than the previous family heads.”
The financial statements of the Prominence family, which he accepted with those words, made Ban Yu-won’s mouth open.
Running the most profitable channel on Unitube, I was a semi-amused person who thought it would be okay to say no now, but that thought was immediately dashed when I saw Prominence’s net profit this quarter.
First of all, the unit of money is not only beyond the imagination of anti-yuwon, but what is even more surprising is that this is only the net profit generated in this quarter.
Since there are four quarters in a year, the family’s annual income is four times this…!
“Of course, this is only a business field, and there is a lot of profit from outside the business. I’ve put together the data here, so check it out…”
Every time Ulrike took out something, Banyuwon became more frightened.
No, what about the Melodia family, which says Prominence has the greatest wealth in the universe?
Now it seemed like he knew why Prominence didn’t go bankrupt even after taking out an artifact of a ridiculous level whenever something happened and destroying it.
“Next is the family troop operation and management report. As you know– it’s not Yuwon-sama’s fault, but in this scramble for the family tree, a lot of soldiers and combatants who were direct descendants of the family died and were injured. Of course, thanks to the life candy sent by Yuwon, even those who were seriously injured recovered, and luckily the damage didn’t spread much….” “The four letters have become proper
nouns….
Ulrike hurriedly explained to Ban Yu-won, who was silently reading the report.
“But now that all the troops have been gathered under the command of the family head, although the number has decreased, they are overwhelming the previous family in terms of quality.”
“Thanks to the power of the unquenchable flame?”
“that’s right. Originally, our family was supported by an unquenchable flame and the patronage of the Constellation. But in fact, the Constellation was just an enemy trying to suppress and devour the unquenchable flame… Now that the Constellation is extinct and the unquenchable flame that has regained its full strength strengthens the unique abilities of all family members, everyone’s growth rate has become overwhelmingly faster.”
Is it because it is not the power of the family head?
Ban Yu-Won nodded his head quietly, feeling the flames burning in his body as well.
He too felt the prominence grow on its own.
I thought it was because I had strict skinship with my sister, but I don’t think it was.
“If I continue to grow like this, I am confident that I will be able to completely restore power in no time and aim for the throne of the teenage family. I’m sure you will be able to firmly support what Yuwon wants to do.”
“Thank you for working hard with your sister.”
“Thank you so much… I’m just doing the obvious thing.”
It seems like a real person has changed so much, but maybe something has been done to his brain.
It was a semi-amusement staring intently at her head with such rude questions, but Ulrike lowered his head, dyeing his cheeks red as if he had misunderstood something.
“If there is anything else you want from me, I would be happy if you could just tell me at any time…”
“No, that’s fine. Sorry, now is not the time to be thinking about that.”
“ah.”
Realizing his mistake, Ulrike bowed his head even deeper.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay, really. And… tell my sister too. It’s not your fault, so you can contact me regardless.”
If Yu-Won Ban knew the character of Yu-Mi Ban, he would have contacted him that night immediately after he returned to Union, but no one ever contacted him, as if someone had even told him about Dok-Ko-Yeon’s death.
Perhaps she is blaming herself for losing a team member because Ban Yu-Won overworked herself to help her.
If you look at the process before and after, you might think that way, but how can Dokgo-yeon’s death be blamed on Ban Yu-mi?
Pretending not to be, Ban Yoo-won smiled bitterly as he recalled his sister who was so delicate in his heart.
“Okay, I’ll tell you. … and.”
Ulrike raised his head again and cautiously continued.
“Even if it’s not because of the oath, I always want to be of your help… tell me anytime.”
“…Yes, senior.”
“How could it be…”
Ulrike’s mouth seemed to have a thin smile on his face, but he hurriedly spread his fan to cover his mouth, as if he didn’t want to show his face getting ruined in front of the banyuwon.
With the crescent moon still hanging over her eyes, it was impossible to hide her feelings.
Ban Yu-won sighed at the thought that this person and that person were too heavy in affection, but he did not forget what he had to say as a first-year senior.
“Congratulations, chief.”
“That person was very precious. You’ve really grown a lot in this year. I wonder if it’s because Yuwon-nim raised me.”
Kshana, a 2nd grader, who is the biggest prospect for the trip to Union, a club run by Banyuwon.
Having surprisingly developed the power to manipulate sound, she proudly challenged Ulrike and broke with excitement, eventually having to settle for a second-place position in the second year.
Even that alone was an absurdly surprising achievement, and it served as an opportunity to reevaluate the special selection process.
“There will be a special admissions student next year. The gaze they receive will probably be completely different from before. Since the top of the first grade and the second place of the second grade are special screenings.”
“I guess so.”
Come to think of it, has there been an improvement in the perception of the special screening for the purpose of club management?
Feeling a little disillusioned with himself, who had come to think that it was okay, Ban Yu-won laughed bitterly.
and next Monday.
The last tower exploration of the first year is approaching.
