I went to school for nothing (79)
Lesson 18. Midterm exam – 1
Early in the morning, Lucille woke up and stood up in a half-dazed state.
Watching the soft blanket slide over her bewitching and voluptuous naked body, Ruchel realized that she was at Union Academy.
‘A luxurious duvet unimaginable in our world. Glad I’m still here.’
At first, I wondered if this was the difference between the lower dimension and the upper dimension, but when I listened to Ban Yu-won, I was surprised to hear that he enjoyed a level of civilization that was not so different from this place even though he was from the same lower dimension as himself.
Of course, there are not one or two surprising things about Banyuwon, but listening to his story raises the question of whether his world is definitely special among the lower dimensions.
I made a declaration that I would follow him to his hometown, but in reality, when will that be possible? Summer Vacation?
Until then, somehow with him…
‘Master… Hehe.’
Thinking of Banyuwon, I absentmindedly stroked the soft blanket, then suddenly came to my senses and shook my head to shake off my delusion and get out of bed.
Glancing to the side, she saw Dok-go-yeon, who had woken up earlier than her, sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating, wearing a nightgown Ban Yu-won had gifted her.
The way she concentrated on meditation in an undisturbed posture was so graceful that she could hardly be seen as a girl of her age.
‘Still, I seemed quite the same age yesterday.’
Ban Yu-Won himself didn’t seem to notice, but all of Dok-Ko-Yeon’s mistakes yesterday were caused by her being overly conscious of Ban Yu-Won.
As for why Dokgo-yeon, who seemed like he wouldn’t budge even if someone died right in front of him, did such a cute thing…
‘I think I may have been mistaken in many ways, but…’
Banyuwon is excellent without a doubt.
Judging from the unrivaled performance shown in the tower and the fact that Dokgo-yeon actively teaches Ban Yu-won martial arts that are not taught to others, it seems that he has perfect martial arts talent.
His ability to earn goods is excellent, so he leads a group with just that, no, he is an excellent man who is full of being in charge of the family.
Even the face is perfect, although it is a mixture of Ruchel’s personal tastes.
Wouldn’t it be rather strange to not be conscious of him at this point?
Not only Lucille, but also Light, and obviously Dokgoyeon too.
‘But there’s no need to say that it’s love, but after hearing useless words from that woman named Aneri, I started thinking in a strange direction. I’m a clumsy person who can just accept it naturally…’
Dok-go-yeon has a strong pride and is somewhat overbearing, and as evidenced by the incident with Ortima, there is a side of him who refuses to acknowledge the relationship between a man and a woman.
But Aneri suddenly said, ‘Actually, you like him too, don’t you?’ Having been subjected to the same provocation, I tried my best not to admit it, but then I went astray, and the same thing happened this time.
Ruchel thinks that relying on his abilities as a party member and being emotionally attracted to him are two separate issues… Dokgoyeon seems to have thought that she shouldn’t be inferior to him in the slightest.
So, while trying to capture Room 23 on her own terms, she ended up revealing in front of everyone that she was greatly influenced by Ban Yu-Won…
“You’re cute.”
“Do you want to die?”
“Kang!”
Suddenly, Dok-go-yeon seemed to open her eyes, but Lucille, who was hit straight by a pillow that flew at a speed that transcended cognition, collapsed on the bed.
“Ouch… Huh?”
Ruchel stood up with tears in her eyes and realized that Dokgoyeon was staring at her precisely at a part of her body.
It was a look she had received so many times in her life that she got tired of it from the same sex.
I’m ashamed to say it myself, but I’ve never been pushed by another woman due to physical conditions.
I didn’t really like it because she herself was heavy and uncomfortable, and she was just unnecessarily attracting the attention of the opposite sex.
That’s right, until you meet the mate of your life.
“Beast, why are you sleeping with your underwear off? shamelessly.”
“My body temperature is on the high side… I take everything off even if I sleep wearing it.”
Maybe that’s not what Dokgo-yeon really wanted to say.
Ruchel decided to match her.
“It’s a really beastly reason. No, but…”
Dok-go-yeon grumbles and mumbles something, but then leaves Ruchel and falls into deep thought.
In the meantime, Lucille, who got out of bed, took a clean shower and put on her school uniform.
By the time she returned from getting ready, Dokgoyeon was already wearing her school uniform.
“The beast still seems to be misunderstanding, so I’ll make it clear, but I don’t really like the anti-amusement-.”
“You don’t like Yuwon? Is it because you are conscious of that person just because of his outstanding abilities?”
“…Yes it is. I know that. It’s true that I was conscious of him even a little…”
Dok-go-yeon nodded in reply with a slightly confused expression.
Lucille laughed lightly, guessing her heart.
“all right. I must have misunderstood.”
“What you said yesterday was not wrong. … It was definitely a mistake.”
While saying that, why are you lifting your foot and pretending to kick the air? It’s scary.
“I will never be seen as such an idiot in the future. In the tower, they obediently rely on Banyuwon’s ability. The tower is not a place for self-development to develop the ability to cope with crises…”
“…as expected, it’s cute.”
“!”
“Kaeng!”
This time, I didn’t miss it, but hit it right.
Dok-go-yeon, who seemed to have calmed down after giving Ruchel a shot, said to the painful Ruchel as she rolled on the floor.
“Anyway, it’s true that I caused trouble to the party members because of me. As an apology, let me teach you a martial art. I’m already teaching Banyuwon and Wright, so it’s strange to leave you out for nothing.”
“The Beast Beasts don’t need that…”
“It’ll be fine.”
Dokgoyeon looked down at Lucille and smiled arrogantly.
Ruchel didn’t find her very cute anymore.
“What I’m trying to teach you is the martial arts used by beasts anyway.”
* * *
Until last week, the entire academy seemed excited because of the afterglow of the special activities, but as Monday came and the exam season began in earnest, the smiles began to disappear from the students’ lips little by little.
Each one of them is a genius representing the dimension, but Union Academy is a place where even such a genius can’t be sure that he can graduate.
In particular, the special admissions students, who were recognized for their special talents, who lacked average abilities (intellect, in most cases, are included here) compared to the geniuses, were more anxious.
“I don’t know why regular students bully special students.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders as he checked the rankings of the special admissions students for the past few years that he had received from Yu Mi-na.
The names of the special selection students were painted red, and every leaderboard he checked was drawn with lava bubbling from the bottom of hell.
This means that all of them are at the bottom of the list.
“I can’t thank the special admissions students for being so kind to me.”
“Half you are the worst.”
Light, who had buried his head in the desk, said, half crying.
After school on Monday, they were huddled together in a doorless classroom working on a written assignment.
Of course, as soon as Ban Yu-won received the assignment, he was looking around the various data he had received from Yu-mina after vomiting up the spirit of ending everything in an instant.
“Surely, the hatred towards the special selection students is not just because of their background.”
Dokgoyeon, who was writing assignments at a speed that was a bit inferior to Ban Yu-Won, but not lower than the average of Union Academy, suddenly raised his head and checked the materials in Ban Yu-Won’s hand, and smiled bitterly.
“Your performance in the Tower doesn’t seem to be going down because you’re from the special screening, but it’s like asking to be harassed only when your performance in the regular exam is so bad.”
“I don’t want to be looked down upon by those goddamn higher planes!”
“Then stop talking and focus on your assignment.”
“Cheukhak!”
Dokgoyeon’s theory stopped Light’s heart for an instant.
Meanwhile, Ruchel was staring at Banyuwon with an expression of giving up everything.
Ban Yoo-won also sighed quietly as he faced her.
I thought that at least the task could be done by myself, but I was mistaken.
Ruchel really was—a fool of fools.
No, it’s not that she’s really stupid, it’s that the academy’s standards are too high.
“Don’t bully the beast-like half-amusement.”
Seeing the two of them having a meaningless snowball fight, Dok-go-yeon narrowed her eyes as if she was pathetic and said,
“If you train martial arts consistently, your brain will be clear and your learning ability will improve. So don’t forget to practice every single day.”
“I will train martial arts, but I believe in Yu-Won.”
“It really is a helpless beast.”
Ban Yu-won judged the level by looking at last year’s test paper specially prepared by Yu Mina.
Of course, compared to the assignments, the level of demand from the students was high– Ban Yu-won, who came to a quick conclusion, asked Yumina, who was sitting nearby and drinking flower tea.
“Professor, is it permissible to cheat while taking the exam?”
“There’s no way that would be allowed, right?”
Yumina replied with a refreshing smile.
That’s right, Ban Yu-won himself said it and thought it was a very stupid thing to say.
However, in order to save Light and Ruchel from a test of this level of difficulty, there was no other way than cheating.
If at least the rules of the Naruto Intermediate Ninja Test are not applied…!
“But, Professor Yumina, it’s not a crime if you don’t get caught, right?”
“Check the back of the material I gave you, a classmate student.”
As Yumina told me to, I handed over the data, and there was a really bloody phrase written on it.
It was a list of students who were expelled from the academy due to cheating for the past 5 years.
Quite a lot.
Last year alone, more than 20 students from grades 1 to 5 were expelled.
It was also shocking that close to 30% of them were special admissions students.
“Most of them were students with special abilities and cheated because they were sure they would not get caught. However, as a result, all of them were caught and had to leave the academy. You know what I want to say, right?”
“It means that academy students are much more pathetic than I thought.”
“no-.”
“Ho whoa.”
Whether Yumina’s slender fingers pressed down on Ban Yu-Won’s cheeks as punishment or as a reward, the act, which was ambiguous, produced the fragrant smell of flowers and something that made her heart tickle.
Ruchel, who naturally showed off her luxurious skinship skills that are only allowed for mature women, felt as if she was losing something and gnashed her teeth.
“It means that no matter how much a classmate has outstanding power, it is difficult to get out of the eyes of the system directly supervised by the principal.”
“Is the president directly supervising it? There are so many students who cheat.”
“The higher you go to the senior class, the more important it is. Everyone must be nervous. However, one thing to keep in mind is that cheating is the furthest thing from the ‘dignity’ that Union Academy wants. Keep this in mind and study diligently, everyone.”
“I.”
It was at that timing that Ruchel knocked on the table and stood up.
Although it also meant to prevent Yumina from getting closer to Banyuwon.
“I… I will give up on graduation.”
“Ruchel?!”
Ruchel put on a determined face and grabbed Banyuwon’s arm.
“My goal is not to get a diploma, but to be with Yuwon for the rest of my life.”
“I wouldn’t have had that goal when I entered school.”
“If you think about it, all you have to do is be near Yuwon anyway, but there was no need to work hard for scraps of paper like diplomas. In the future, I will go to ‘Earth’ with Yuwon…!”
“Are you coming to Earth? …You’re migrating?!”
Ban Yuwen realized that Ruchel’s course had already been decided in her, and her complexion turned pale.
It’s not like I hate her by any means, but I still don’t know her feelings clearly, and when I hear weighty words like forever and future, I feel like I’m not sure…!
“Oh, there is no need for Yoo-won to feel pressured. I just want to dedicate my life to Yu-Won…!”
“I’m very grateful, but that’s why I’m more burdened.”
“It’s good to have a solid life plan, but Ruchel.”
Yumina said with a smile on her face.
“If your test scores are too bad, you can’t go anywhere during vacation and have to take seasonal semesters.”
“Seasons…?”
Ruchel tilted her head cutely when she heard the unfamiliar word, but Ban Yu-won, who had heard the word through her sister, who was a college student, shuddered.
“Even during vacation, I attend the academy and listen to lectures. Only students with bad grades in the exam gathered together. Of course, the semi-yuwon students will do well in the exams, so they won’t be able to take the seasonal semester—”
“I will study hard.”
Rachel sat down quickly.
Then, she desperately clung to Ban Yu-won’s arm.
“Yuwon, save our vacation…!”
“Ah- yes. I’ll try. …our vacation?”
Ban Yu-Won thought he should talk to Sellon about the language magic that enhances the learning effect, even this evening.
