I went to school for nothing (81)
Lesson 18. Midterm – 3
The first time I met him was the first day I attended Zenon’s lecture.
I was shocked that Dokgoyeon, the strongest of the Rebellion members, was caught behind me even for a moment.
Even at the academy, he was listening to Zenon’s lectures, which are famous only for the elite, so he guessed that he was a talented person… but he didn’t know that he was the vice-president of the student council.
‘That’s why I wanted to consult with the members a little bit before talking.’
Watching Zenon standing on the podium lecturing in a calm tone unique to him, he turned his gaze to the side to see Ruchel, who was sitting with Dokgo Kite in between, staring at him with unwavering eyes.
Because she was now ‘concentrating’ on Ban Yu-Won because of the effect of the talisman.
‘I was a fool. I should have set the priority of concentration.’
Usually it won’t be like this.
Light, who was sitting across from him, was staring at Zenon.
The only problem is that Ruchel’s attitude toward anti-yuwon far exceeded his expectations.
Her gaze was beyond hot, just warm.
Terrible emotional concepts such as ‘affection’ and ‘desire’ are swirling in her mind.
He couldn’t be sure what would have happened by now if he hadn’t put Dokgoyeon in between.
Anyway, it was the same that it was not a situation to have a proper conversation with Lucille or Light.
“Can I really climb the tower with these idiots…?”
“I’m always worried about that too, so don’t put too much emphasis on you.”
Only Dokgoyeon, who was the only one who received the amulet and did not activate the amulet right away, was sitting there.
In fact, she was the only Rebellion member worth consulting with, so it didn’t matter what happened to Lucille and Light.
“So what do you think of Dokgoyeon?”
“Is it possible that what you discovered yesterday wasn’t so great in the first place?”
“I wondered why I could see movement near the ship dock. I think it might be a student who returned to the academy on a spaceship.”
“Generally speaking, it is. After all, there is no problem.”
“At first it looked like a whitish lump, but now that I think about it, I wonder if it was some kind of magic to disrupt perception.”
Of course, his man-eye can see through everything, but it is difficult to recognize everything, even momentarily passing things.
At least I needed time to clearly recognize and focus on the target.
“I secretly return to the academy at night and avoid being noticed by others. You must be shy.”
“Actually, it’s only for a moment, but I only saw it at first glance.”
Even at the time he saw it, he thought it must be an illusion of his eyes, so he passed it on, but the moment he ran into Ketra, a 4th year student who claimed to be the student council vice president earlier, he was convinced that what he saw was correct.
“I think my ears were pointed.”
“indeed.”
Dokgoyeon nodded with an expression of understanding.
“The huge injustice involving the Student Council and the quick destruction of evidence… Hmm, if it were that man, I’d be able to cut off the head of a classmate without a chance to stop him. Goodbye Banyuwon.”
“Can’t we think a little more positively…?”
“I might be able to drag you into the student council with clues to the infidelity and make you an accomplice.”
“It was like that before.”
In the midst of such a troubled conversation, the lecture was over!
He patted Light on the head, who was silently watching Zenon leave the classroom, and barely calmed him down. As soon as the lecture was over, as he was desperately trying to get rid of Ruchel, who was clinging to him, Ketra approached them with truly light steps. .
“Thank you for waiting, Junior Ban Yoo-won. Then let’s talk over a cup of tea at a cafe.”
“Kreureuk…!”
Sensing Ketra reaching out to Banyuwon, Ruchel revealed it and blocked the way.
When Yuwon Ban glanced at Dokgoyeon, she quickly knocked out Ruchel.
Ketra applauded their actions as natural as flowing water.
“You guys are playing very aggressively.”
“We are just very friendly. Let’s go, sir.”
“Is it okay to be alone as a semi-yuwon?”
Saying that while supporting the fainting Lucille with one arm and the still unconscious Light with the other would only make me more concerned.
Ban Yu-won smiled and replied.
“are you okay. maybe.”
“of course. Didn’t you hear from Graham? Our student council has a very good opinion of junior Ban Yu-won. So don’t worry, I’ll send you back to my junior.”
“….”
Ketra winked at Dok-go-yeon while saying something stupid with a sparkling smile.
Dok-go-yeon looked at it and put on a really disgusted expression, then turned away without replying, carrying both burdens.
“…Did you hate it?”
“I’m asking because I’m curious, who likes that?”
“Most girls seem to like it…”
It’s no big deal that he didn’t realize at a glance that most of Dok-go-yeon doesn’t belong to women.
“Then shall we talk at the cafe? Oh, of course, at the cafe outside.”
“Out.”
Speaking of the outside of the academy, of course, it means Lonica, the city outside the academy.
Well, if you’re a member of the student council, it’s only natural that you have the right to engage in outside activities.
Banyuwon nodded in agreement, and Ketra took his hand and touched her student ID.
The next moment they were standing at the entrance of the Outer City Lonica.
“Tada, this is Ronnie… oh, you must be used to it already. I was surprised to hear that this year’s freshmen were quickly given the right to explore independently and outside activities.”
“I do not have the right to explore alone.”
“That’s right, the Ice Princess, right? A ‘real monster’ that even his classmates couldn’t approach. If it wasn’t for the special class, I would have been chosen as the next student council president, but it’s a pity. Oh, this way.”
After all, is it quite possible that he has been active as Lonica? He pushed through the alley without hesitation and guided him to a cafe in a back alley that semi-yuwons had never seen before.
It was a cafe in a corner, but it had a nice atmosphere with a wooden signboard with delicate patterns giving off a warm feeling.
The door opened with the ringing of a bell.
“It’s like a hideout for the student council. If you stay here, at least the other students at the academy won’t find out. Hello sister!”
“Here comes Ketra! Welcome guests too!”
Seeing as the woman who was brewing coffee alone inside the cafe responded with a broad smile to Ketra’s wink, it seemed that it was really working for other women.
The two of them sat in a corner seat and received the coffee they ordered.
Vanilla latte called Ketra Banyuwon Americano, a friend of all college students (of course, the name was different here).
“So what were you talking about? Did you mean that the ice princess and the junior were dating?”
“Weren’t we talking about it from now on? And she has another girl she likes.”
“Oh then, if I bring him into the student council, will the princess follow?”
Ketra, who was really seriously thinking about it, entered the main subject only after receiving the unkind stare of Banyuwon.
“I mean this morning.”
“How about this morning?”
“huh.”
I thought we’d talk about it last night.
Ketra spoke with a more serious expression to Ban Yu-Won, who looked downcast on his face, saying, “What are the conversations I had with Dok-Ko-Yeon mean?”
“We also checked the items that our juniors submitted to Professor Campanella.”
“uh.”
I thought only Professor Campanella would see it alone, but I never thought it would be shared with the student council executives.
When Ban Yu-won was making a puzzled expression, he made a modest expression.
“I’m not trying to argue with that. What can I say, because the professor showed us that it had a similar effect to the object we were tracking…”
“Tracking?”
Ban Yu-won felt that the conversation was going in a suspicious direction.
“okay. Where do we start talking about this… Right. The juniors may not know yet, but our academy regular exams are a bit harsh in many ways.”
Thanks to Yumina kindly collecting test papers for all the subjects that have been presented at the academy over the past few years, I know how serious anti-yuwon is, but I can’t tell if it’s legal or not, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.
“Students’ antipathy toward regular exams is, of course, great. I came to the academy to climb the tower and become a god, but why do I have to waste time on exams? The president’s answer was consistent with expulsion.”
“If you think about it, it’s expulsion…”
“It was an inevitable trend that such students became interested in how to get grades without taking up too much time on the test… in other words, cheating.”
“I heard about that too.”
“Then it makes things easier.”
Ketra talked about all sorts of cheating that had taken place at the academy over the past few years, lamenting how insidious they had developed and how much effort the Student Council had to go through to catch them.
“And it’s gotten even more serious this year… It’s kind of dangerous among students…”
“Stop!”
Ban Yu-won desperately stopped the senior’s words.
That statement, which was dangerous in many ways, was unacceptable.
“Please use a purified expression.”
“It looks like there are potions with huge side effects…”
“Okay. Phew… Huh?”
Feeling the mystery of the language, Ban Yu-won let out a sigh of relief and tilted his head.
“That has nothing to do with my talisman.”
“I think so too, but there are quite a few people who are worried. Because that potion also grants strange concentration, comprehension, and memorization.”
“Since the effect is the same, you mean the source might be the same?”
“huh.”
Ban Yu-won heard that and understood it.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t show the making of the amulet, and they won’t be able to ask him for it.
Seeing him frown, Ketra smiled bitterly.
“Your juniors won’t have anything to worry about. Just wanted a little help. Like guessing the ingredients of the potion or finding out the source of the potion…”
“That means you were suspicious of me after all…?”
“Originally, poison and medicine are one body, aren’t they? So some of the ingredients might be the same…”
Ban Yu-Won realized that the man did not understand the mechanics of his amulet at all.
Of course, I had no intention of explaining that, so I just kept drinking my coffee.
It was then that I heard the sound of the café door opening with my daughter.
“Ketra— have you heard about it?”
“Oh Mira.”
The person who entered the store was a blonde girl with a beauty that surprised even Yu-Won, who had grown accustomed to being with her classmates.
With dazzling white skin and jade-colored eyes shining bright like blonde emeralds, she was so pure and beautiful that I wondered if Light would have grown up properly without touching a holy sword!
“My name is Mira, who is also the head of the Public Relations Department of the Student Council.”
At Ketra’s introduction, the girl placed a hand on her chest and nodded slightly.
“3rd year Artifact Production Department Mira. Our people don’t have surnames. Same goes for Ketra.”
“hello.”
Ban Yu-won also bowed his head and set an example for his senior.
“I saw the scroll you made. It was great.”
“thank you. It has nothing to do with that potion.”
“I know.”
To Ban Yu-won’s reply, she naturally nodded as if she had expected it.
“what?”
Ketra questioned her with a puzzled expression.
“Since the effect is similar, you’re the one who asked me to talk to the junior Banyuwon, Mira.”
“It was an excuse. We need to bring in talented people before someone else takes them.”
“Mira, you really…”
Ketra must have been the senior, but Mira had a stronger voice.
Ban Yu-won gulped down a cup of coffee as he watched the two talk.
For reference, he didn’t even pay attention to black coffee when he was in high school, but he decided to drink black coffee to feel like a college student.
wrote an awful lot.
Ban Yu-won, who quickly emptied his glass, said with a frown.
“Ah, then can I go alone?”
“No, I would like you to join the student council. And I want you to provide those scrolls to us as well.”
“Because it’s not easy to make.”
When Banyuwon, who refused Mira’s request without hesitation, got up from his seat, Ketra felt sorry for him and grabbed him.
“I really want you to join the student council. We need talent like you.”
“I will think about it some more.”
“Then, let’s exchange mirror codes. If you find out anything about this matter, please contact me right away.”
“That’s all I am willing to do.”
Ban Yu-won exchanged the mirror code with Mira as a Ketra bonus.
Seeing Ban Yu-Won sitting in the same seat, Mira seems to be spending time with Ketra from now on.
I thought it would suit them perfectly, but did they?
Drawing their relationship in his head, Ban Yu-won left the cafe.
no but before that.
Yuwon Ban looked back at Ketra and asked a question.
“Senior, after all, what are the side effects of that potion? Whatever it is, as long as it doesn’t lead to cheating in the exam…”
“It won’t work.”
a mystery?
“It seems that the concentration caused by the potion will not be released forever. If you continue like this, you will be expelled as a group on the day of the test.”
“It’s because you depend on drugs.”
“Potion Potion, please!”
Ban Yu-won was more exhausted and left the cafe.
As he passed through an unfamiliar alleyway and came out on a road familiar to him, Celon asked him.
―But why are you smiling?
“Because that’s not an illusion.”
―What is it?
Sellon realized it belatedly.
Meera, who gets along very well with Ketra.
That her ears are also pointed like fairy tales.
