Lesson 18. Midterm – 6
Thursday Lunch.
Banyuwon and Ketra were in the private reading room of the academy library.
With the exam period ahead, Union Academy was burning with passion for learning just like universities in Korea, but Ketra succeeded in securing a private reading room by using the power of being an executive of the student council!
“How are you, junior? Isn’t it thrilling? Do you want to join the student council? After all, power is the best.”
“Iknow, right.”
Ban Yu-Won was astounded, but immediately drew his hand in the air and drew several magic words to activate the magic.
Blocking the sound barrier.
All physical and magical actions were completely cut off from the outside.
“Hey, this isn’t at the first grade level.”
Ketra, who watched the fortification of the private reading room in a short period of time by the hand of the semi-yuwon, said with an absurdity.
Still, it was a fairly friendly tone, saying that he had said hello once before.
“is it so? I don’t know because I’ve never compared myself to anyone else.”
“Well, I can’t compare it to an expert in barrier magic… but I heard you use offensive magic as well? However, such a firm image and even the speed of formula construction. This is worth noting.”
Even though he honestly acknowledged and praised Banyuwon’s ability, he couldn’t find even a trace of jealousy in Ketra.
Being the vice-president of the Student Union means that he is an elite who is superior to the students belonging to the special class.
Moreover, since he is listening to Zenon’s lectures, he must have signed a contract with the Constellation, received sponsorship, or at least received access from the Constellation.
If you have firm confidence in your own abilities, there is no reason to be jealous of others.
‘I mean the appearance of an ideal strong man…’
On the other hand, Russein Ortima is the worst.
A person who is confident in his true ability proves his worth with his actions, not with his words.
However, since he was a piece of trash who only knew how to use his abilities to oppress the weak, it was impossible not to compare them.
“Come to think of it, I heard you’ll be back before the Lucien Ortima exam.”
“It is quite late. The wound must have been that serious… Come to think of it, we went into the same dungeon, right? How was it in reality?”
Again, the academy student council is at odds with the special class.
I might as well be a little honest.
“He wasn’t a nice guy.”
“I heard everything, I heard everything.”
Ketra shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly, and the next moment she poked her face at Banyuwon.
“I can tell just by looking at that flower brooch that you are favored by Professor Yumina. Still, it’s better to keep a close eye on students’ connections, right? Especially when dealing with a teenage family bastard like Ortima.”
Wink with those words.
Ban Yu-won said with a straight face.
“From now on, only wink at women.”
“It’s strange. It tends to work well with men.”
“Let’s talk about the main topic.”
Ban Yu-won cleared his throat, thinking that being too confident might not be a good idea.
“It’s about this situation.”
Before entering the private reading room, it was possible to identify the person who drank the potion simply by scanning the students in the general reading room.
Perhaps thanks to the potion, everyone seemed to be concentrating on studying… but Ban Yu-Won couldn’t help but be nervous as he saw traces of constellations emitting an ominous light inside their bodies.
Each one looked like a bomb that didn’t know when to explode.
“Oh did you find something?!”
“I don’t know who the culprit is, but… how is the decryption of the potion going?”
If you’re not an idiot, you can guess from those words that Ban Yu-Won got results in the potion analysis.
Ketra explained with a much brighter expression.
“Your juniors may know it, but professors don’t help with things that happen between students. Still, he tends to pay attention to first-year students… As much as the culprit knew that, he limited the sale of potions to students in his second year or higher.”
“In other words, it’s difficult to interpret the potion and solve the side effects with only students now, when they can’t get help from professors, right?”
“yes.”
From the time I came to ask for help from Ban Yu-won, who was just a freshman, I had a rough idea.
Of course, I don’t think that all the students at this academy, which has gathered only the most talented from all levels, are incompetent.
However, having the ability to solve a situation and taking the initiative to solve it are two different things.
If he just sits there like this, dozens of competitors will run away on their own.
As the president also said, revealing a gap and being beaten by a competitor is one’s own responsibility.
“Ah- I think I know what my juniors are thinking right now. that’s right. Our academy students are usually individualistic. Until now, this situation has been dealt with only by the student council.”
“I now know for sure why a student council is needed in an academy that is controlled by the absolute president.”
The idea of free competition is good, but the academy could collapse if everyone installs it as they please.
The student council was like the last conscience to support the academy to prevent that from happening.
“Well… Originally, Mira was in charge of this kind of work. But Mira is busy with other things these days… So I recommended you instead.”
“What are you busy with?”
“huh? Are you…”
When Banyuwon showed interest, Ketra nudged him with a mischievous smile.
I was really annoyed.
“Have you fallen for Mira? Well, it’s not very pretty. But it won’t be easy. She is a woman with high ideals.”
“No, I didn’t like it. Two more than me…”
“Huh?”
Guessing Banyuwon’s meaning, Ketra burst into laughter.
“No, it can’t be. They’re just a little friendly because they’re the same rare race from another dimension. I’m a free lover. It’s kind of hard to be bound by one person, huh?”
“Does he think so too?”
“Because the ideal is high. I wouldn’t even care?”
Ban Yu-wen did not question further.
At least Ketra seemed to genuinely think so.
“The student council executives are always busy, including Mira. Oh sure it’s a good experience. In fact, all the executives are leaving good grades at the top. Did you know that when you go up to the 2nd grade, you will be given extra points for reaching the top level? We’re mostly at the top of that.”
Ketra diligently promotes it, fearing that the student council might have an antipathy against the student council.
Perhaps this person is more focused on attracting the anti-yuwon to the student council rather than solving this situation.
“So… Junior Ban Yu-won. Did you figure out how to decipher it?”
“yes. But I want to hide it.”
“hmm?”
Ketra frowned slightly.
“Is that why you talked about Mira? It must have bothered me because it was similar.”
“Honestly yes. This ‘detox pill’ recipe uses my vision, so I want to hide it as much as possible.”
Of course, that’s a lie.
Even Campanella, a professor in the Artifact Production Department, and even the president would have a hard time seeing through the structure of anti-yuwon creations.
He just didn’t want Mira or the Constellation behind her to find out that ‘himself’ was taking countermeasures.
It’s a shame even if I die to get entangled with the Constellations more than this.
“So I want to solve this problem only between me, my seniors, and the people who ate the potion.”
“Umm, I’m grateful that you’re willing to help even though there’s no benefit to it.”
The brown-haired Dark Elf nodded with a slight bitter smile on his lips.
“It’s a bit like that from a close point of view with Mira. No, I’m not blaming my juniors. It’s a pity that I didn’t trust you.”
“Wouldn’t it be different if we got to know each other in the future? But please look at me this time.”
“oh! Do you remember those words?”
Ketra patted Banyuwon on the back and grinned.
If he was able to trick him to this extent, the price was cheap.
Ban Yoo-won also smiled at him.
“Then let’s talk seriously. First of all, how to identify all the people who ate the potion, and how to give them antidote…”
“Good, good. That’s what this specialty is. What are you doing-.”

On Thursday afternoons, there is a magic lecture by Yumina.
When Ban Yu-Won found a suitable seat and sat down, Aire sat down next to him.
Even if Aire didn’t get along with the Rebellion members, it was rare to see the two of them sticking together, so there was a faint commotion among the first-year students taking the same lecture.
“Why are you suddenly like this?”
“Because we’re friends, we want to build friendships.”
“Let’s make friends with me… Oh, yes.”
Yuwon Ban naturally nodded his head as he recalled the face of a classmate who had first talked to him pretending to be close to him in order to approach a girl he was close with in high school.
It’s funny because you can clearly see what’s on your mind, but I’ve been told that Aire has a reputation among first-year students comparable to that of Lucia Ortima.
If you can get close to her, you can sell off the lights as much as you like…!
“Half-yuwon.”
“huh?”
Ban Yu-won prepared to answer her questions, recalling each and every piece of information he knew about Light.
“I heard you were studying.”
“study.”
“Only with the kids in class 11.”
“Ah, did you see the video posted on the channel?”
He understood in an instant what Aire wanted to say and nodded his head in satisfaction.
I actually used my hair quite a bit.
9 points out of 10.
Ban Yu-won replied, grading her in his head as if he were some kind of love teacher.
“You can fit in as much as you like. I need to change places.”
“huh…? It’s not bad either.”
“huh?”
“Research magic with me.”
The semi-yuwon blinked.
Not me, right?
Aire continued talking without paying attention to him, who was a little embarrassed because his expectations were wrong.
“I learned a lot about my weaknesses while sparring with magic. But there are some things I can help you with. So let’s study together.”
“Ummm…?”
―What is this snotty little girl saying? What did Ji do to help!
It may have been because the order was interrupted the other day, but it was Selon, who despised Aire by calling her a ‘girl’, and raised her voice in excitement at Aire’s remarks.
But fortunately, her voice does not reach Aire.
Ban Yu-Won let out a sigh of relief when he realized that Aire had been offering him purely for the purpose of improving his magical skills.
“Writing and submitting a joint thesis can replace the mid-term exam for this course.”
“Let’s do that.”
Ban Yu-Won, who quickly finished the calculations in his head, nodded happily.
Naturally, Celone hated it.
-hey! You only have to learn magic from me!
‘I only learned the basics from you, but I learned from Mina noona.’
– and seriously. If it wasn’t for me to make the talisman and the medicine this year, it would have been difficult.
‘I’m sure that’s appreciated… but isn’t that just a hint?’
-Wow!
When I first woke her up, she wasn’t such a bother, so where did I go wrong?
Aire said to Banyuwon, who was in serious agony.
“Then let’s start today after school.”
“You have to look into that. Studying with the kids, individual training… Do you want to do that together?”
“good. communion.”
“…How come you don’t know anymore.”
“huh?”
As the agreement was being finalized, Yumina entered the classroom.
Aire immediately reported on the joint research, and naturally, attention to them also increased.
“Why don’t we ask Misty to join us too?”
“Then I will bite my tongue and die. Princess, why the hell did he…!”
“What if the princess really goes over to class 11!”
And why don’t you guys talk to us directly Misty.
I care a little about the name.

It was a bright Friday morning.
Originally, it was a day to enter the tower or perform special activities, but the schedule was canceled due to the exam period, so they were supposed to study at their discretion or perform assignments.
It was also the day Banyuwon and Ketra decided to move in earnest.
I had to finish it today because the situation would get out of control when it moved on to the next week when the full-scale test began.
“Everyone is specific, right?”
“Are you sure. Graham helped. Contrary to his appearance, he is very meticulous and has good eyes.”
“I’m a bit curious about that, so let’s just listen to it later… let’s get started.”
“good.”
Banyuwon hands Ketra a flask containing a transparent liquid that glows like a flame.
“Let’s finish it quickly.”
Just-!
The black-skinned fairy grinned and snapped her fingers.
“Changeling.”
Time to turn all the poor fools back into pretty kids.
Where they are now is the student cafeteria where all the students eat.
