Admission is for nothing (98)
Lesson 21. It’s because it’s a special screening – 2
Monday morning of the 7th week of Union Academy.
Looking at Ban Yu-won, who was checking the reaction of the video uploaded yesterday through the mirror, Light responded that he couldn’t believe it.
“Are you still uploading this? Ban, are you the dead man of Unitube?”
“Lightner has quite a lot of modern vocabulary.”
“Don’t talk about me like I’m old!”
I heard this
Watching Ban Yu-Won playfully sticking out his tongue, Light struggled with the urge to ruthlessly pull it out.
On the other hand, Dok-go-yeon, who had been munching on plain yogurt with half-yu-won’s miracle jam and cereal, seemed unsatisfied with today’s menu, and said with a bored expression.
“The atmosphere was nice. I shouldn’t have even stayed out all night.”
“Sleep out.”
Ruchel’s face turned into a ripe strawberry.
Ban Yu-won gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear her words.
“We couldn’t just send out killing monsters every day and making jokes among ourselves, so I tried this concept, and the reaction was pretty good, wasn’t it? In fact, during the exam period, there were only videos of me training and studying for the exam, so the number of uploads decreased, and I thought I needed a new stimulus at this point.”
“Yes, the number of views itself is very high, but I don’t think the reaction from people who were fans of Ruchel was good.”
With that said, Wright pointed to the comments section.
Ban Yu-won was stunned when he saw that there were people making harsh remarks that were startling.
There were a lot of remarks that mainly insulted Ruchel, but the proportion of anti-yuwon was also significant.
At a time when you should only focus on climbing the tower, there were even scholar-like comments scolding you for what kind of relationship you are.
“No, we’re not idols, so we should abide by the dating prohibition clause.”
“Human beings naturally expect as they please and are disappointed as they please. I don’t know if I’m pouring out my feelings more freely because I don’t actually meet face to face.”
“But I originally showed a lot of interest in amusement parks…”
Ruchel, who had barely escaped the shock of the word sleepover, interrupted.
As she said, in the previous videos, Ruchel’s devotion to the anti-yuwon was revealed a lot.
But why is there such an uproar now?
That’s… While Ban Yu-won was shy and couldn’t bear to say it even though he knew the reason, Dok-go-yeon gave the correct answer instead.
“A girl’s unrequited love looks fresh and lovely, but the date video uploaded yesterday gives the impression that they are already a mature couple. If one of you is overly engrossed in one of them, it would be unforgivable to be completely attached to someone else.”
“A mature couple.”
Ah Ruchel went on a trip to the imaginary world again.
Dok-go-yeon emptied the yogurt bowl neatly and sighed.
“There is no need to ask how far the progress has gone. Why is this beast clumsy at an important point on a needlessly bold subject? They look alike.”
“It’s not even dating. The two of you just dated. … You dated half of me in the first place.”
“I’m keeping my mouth shut because it’s going to get complicated if even you, Wright, intervene.”
Ban Yoo-won kept his mouth shut and just checked the video as he knew that it would be really annoying if he opened his mouth here.
Then, I realized that if I manipulated the information of the video, I could classify the number of views by dimension.
Looking at the name of the dimension, he couldn’t tell where it was attached, and he glanced over it, thinking that the information had no meaning other than that there were many viewers belonging to the Union.
I found that the dimension of Earth was mixed in it, and my breath stopped for a moment.
“What is this?”
“what? How are you reading this?”
“earth.”
“earth?”
Ban Yu-won’s team members poked their heads into his mirror.
He showed a strange expression by displaying the image of the mirror as a hologram.
“There’s only one person, but he said he watched this video on Earth.”
“Didn’t you say that the Earth originally had no mana?”
“There were no monsters, dungeons, or constellations.”
“It is the lowest dimension that has never undergone a typical evolution. A world without mana, let alone access to a constellation… How could someone like Yu-Won have been born there? It’s a miracle…”
Then, of course, no one has access to Union Net.
No, since Banyuwon has already obtained access rights, he will be able to access it even after returning to Earth… but he is now in Union!
“Couldn’t the Earth have started evolving? Maybe your being called to Union Academy was a sign.”
“Yes, that is persuasive. No matter how much it was, it was a bit like having a special admissions student appear in a world without even mana… Maybe Ban was the first mana awakener on Earth.”
Ban Yu-won had no choice but to get complicated in his head.
He wanted Earth to remain as the world he knew, separate from the fantasy worlds of the Tower of Babel and Union Academy.
What if monsters and dungeons appear on Earth? our family is?
Ban Yu-Won’s mind became complicated.
“But this one is great too.”
Ruchel vomited an exclamation as he pictured in his head the Earth’s Unitube viewers who did not even know their true identity.
“Access to the Union Net is harder to obtain in lower dimensions. However, in a world where mana was just beginning to emerge, he confidently obtained access rights. He might be the second most talented person next to Yu-Won.”
“Besides, it looks like you’ve seen all the videos on our channel. Could it be that Banyuwon knows that he is an earthling?”
“No way.”
Ban Yu-won laughed at Dok-go-yeon’s overly bold guess.
“Even on Earth, there are many different races. If you look at all dimensions, there must be countless people who look like me. How can you determine where I came from?”
Here, there is a condition that makes it more difficult to estimate his nationality or origin. Ban Yu-Won is of mixed blood.
The head and eyes are black, but the facial shaping and skeleton are typical of mixed Eastern and Western blood.
Ban Yu-won’s grandfather’s ‘Our ancestors built the Tower of Babel~.’ Why would you believe the same thing?
It was because he knew that his family lineage was not that of a pure native Korean.
Moreover, unlike his older sister, he might have had an atavism, but the mixed-race characteristics were evident, so when he was young, he thought it was something very special for himself… He must have trusted his grandfather’s words all the more.
‘It’s an embarrassing past. … No, after all, my grandfather was right, so there is no need to be ashamed?’
For reference, Grandpa Ban Ji-won looks like a stylish European gentleman, perhaps because he has a beard.
Ban Yu-Won had never seen a man so fitting the word Nice Gray as his grandfather.
I came here with mana, so I hope the symptoms of dementia get better… Huh?
‘Isn’t this our grandpa?!’
Ban Yu-won opened her eyes and looked at all the videos posted on the channel.
It was found that the viewers of the earth who did not know who they were were watched all the videos of the Rebellion channel, and in particular, watched the videos in which Ban Yu-won was active dozens of times.
Among the four members, if there is someone who points out him and shows this much interest and affection… he is, without a doubt, a grandfather!
“This must be our grandfather.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard Yoo-won use such a friendly address.”
“…You’re not jealous of your grandpa, are you, Lucille?”
“Why do you specify family?”
To Dok-go-yeon’s legitimate question, Yu-won Ban explained that he had returned to Earth and injected magic into the bodies of his grandfather, father, and older sister before he entered school.
“Then, isn’t the most likely to be the only one among them who has awakened her magical powers?”
“Your sister? …Could it be?”
After listening to her words and calmly thinking about it, Yu-Won Ban realized that his thoughts came from simply wanting his grandfather to watch his video.
Of course, I don’t think that sister would intentionally watch her videos dozens of times, and I didn’t want to imagine that, so I decided to believe that it was my grandfather from now on.
“Sister and grandfather… I want to see everyone soon and say hello.”
Rachel smiled softly and said.
When Ban Yoo-won quickly erased the word “meeting party” that popped into his head and tried to reply to her.
“If you apply in advance, you can go to another student’s dimension to play. on vacation.”
Yumina, who appeared with a tray, sat down next to him and said that.
There were only small muffins and a soft drink of water on her tray.
She doesn’t seem to like the menu today either.
“Professor, do you eat at school too?”
“Today is the entire academy holiday. Not only the restaurant, but also the faculty cafeteria are closed.”
Today, Monday, was a holiday without classes because last week was the exam period.
Instead, all grades are disclosed to what is being done, and students who have objections to their scores can use today to contact the faculty to correct their grades.
“Professor, I will apply for that. Maybe my dimension would be better without me… So during vacation, I want to go to Yuwon’s dimension.”
“…Beast, are you prepared to abandon your dimension?”
Dokgoyeon frowned at the question, and Ruchel smiled lightly.
“I know what you’re worried about, but Dok-go is fine. I’m not going to cause any trouble to Yuwon.”
“Well, I wonder if that will work out the way you want it.”
Ruchel, who is unpleasantly sarcastic, passes it off with a gentle smile.
Curiously, there were many times when these two had conversations that seemed to have been omitted in the middle of only the two of them.
Is this just women’s unique communication?
Beside Ban Yu-won blankly thinking about that, Yumina cleared her throat and started explaining.
“To talk about that, I should start by talking about the academic schedule during vacation. Did I mention that the 14th week is the first semester? There is no separate vacation ceremony, and from the 15th week, the exploration period begins. did you say You can explore the tower for two weeks during vacation.”
“Then, the 15th and 16th weeks are the exploration period.”
“Yes.”
Yumina nodded and continued.
“The 17th week usually includes a special activity schedule. Have you tried it once before? They are dispatched to another dimension to carry out quests. You’ll probably be grouped in groups of four unless there’s something special going on.”
“Are you going with the professor too?”
“Sure. You can’t have a freshman team without a head coach.”
After the final exams, the schedule is scheduled for three weeks in advance.
…But when I think about it again, I don’t think many people will be sad that the period of time they can play at Union Academy, which has collected all kinds of equipment, has been shortened.
“Now, after the special activities are over, it’s vacation. You can return to your home dimension and stay for a month and a half until the second semester begins. Of course, you can stay at school, but it doesn’t mean much as you can’t enter the tower and there are no special activities.”
“Is it the same even if you have the right to explore alone?”
“I can’t go in. So vacation is a good time to catch intruders in the tower.”
Yumina had a proud expression on her face, but well.
Ban Yu-won, who recalled the structure of the tower and the president’s attitude towards it, just shrugged.
Yumina’s words continued.
“Actually, the Ruchel and Wright students tried not to tell me in advance as much as the seasonal semester schedule could be scheduled during vacation.”
“Ugh.”
“Eh.”
Ruchel and Light, now aware of the fear of the seasonal semester, tucked their necks in and shrank enough to know that they were Durahan, but the next moment, Yumina smiled broadly and held out her mirror.
“I guess you can say that those worries are gone. You both did well.”
“Ah, sexual disclosure!”
Ban Yoo-won also hurriedly took out a mirror.
Of course, you can access the school website with your student ID, but it was much more convenient to view it in the mirror.
After logging in with my student ID, I was immediately able to go to the grade confirmation page. Needless to say, all of my notes were perfect, and all of my practical skills were top notch.
Overall evaluation Dalian ranked 8th as you know.
“Whoops, you guys have been so good to me, my nose has grown. Even though it’s an average of four, it’s the best out of eleven classes.”
“thank god.”
Dok-go-yeon was also good at martial arts, but all of them were single-digit rankings even if they were inferior to Ban Yu-won.
Ruchel and Light also received higher scores than the academy average, probably thanks to the good effect of the talisman of anti-yuwon, not to mention their practical scores
…
“policy?!”
“Whoops. There’s going to be a real uproar. Even the special class won overwhelmingly! It feels so good to think that they will make fun of the professors who spoke mean things to you just because it is a special screening.”
Yumina’s hair, made of flower petals, lightly lifted into the air, proving her uplifted mood.
Maybe they had already had a blast, and it seemed like they could hear whispers from Professor Cantone and Professor Ryu Cheol-myeong from the other side.
“I have to repay the first-class public servant who raised my teacher’s spirit! Would you like to go on a date with a classmate student?”
“…”
“Dating…”
“Ah.”
At best, the topic was changed, but Yumina again created an annoying atmosphere!
In the end, the date was canceled due to fierce opposition from Light and Ruchel, and instead, the five of them decided to do club activities together.
It’s quite familiar now, but from the next day, Ban Yu-won’s party realized that the gaze around them had changed once again.
* * *
At a bar in Ronika’s upscale shopping district.
Alec de Cantone, a top research professor at Union Academy, slammed the whiskey glass hard and muttered.
“I don’t like it!”
“Calm down, Professor Cantone. But you can’t change the grades of those thousand things, right? If cheating was involved, how can I use my hands…”
“It is infuriating that the sacred tower is being polluted by cloth, but do I have to watch those worms arrogantly claiming to be superior in terms of grades!”
gulp.
Cantone gnashed his teeth as he drank it all at once, not worth ordering a drink from a rock glass.
“How did the tower come to be like this? Is the president sane? I insisted several times that professors should be able to select students themselves instead of leaving it to a crazy system like Union Net, but they ignored it and ended up messing with the academy’s order!”
“But look, Professor Cantone. Anyway, it is true that those students are excellent…”
“Noble blood! Noble Mana! The quality of existence is already complete the moment you are born! Why don’t you know that things that are born as worms end up as worms no matter how hard they struggle!”
Professor Cantone poured a lot of whiskey into the rock glass.
It was specially brewed so that even a superman with mana flowing through his body could get drunk, but he didn’t mind it at all and drank it at once.
“Yeah, it’s only a basic subject, but considering that you’ll brag about your high grades… Huh?”
“Professor Cantone?”
A colleague professor who seriously contemplates whether he should soon cut ties with this crazy man, but pretends to be worried about him without revealing his true feelings.
There was no way that Cantone could see through such a colleague, and in the first place he was distracted by a flashing thought.
“Yes, basic subjects… Obviously, those with excellent grades were able to take advanced courses in their majors.”
“Of course there is, but isn’t that an issue decided by the professor rather than the student?”
“yes.”
After clearing the glass, Cantone set it down on the table and stood up.
“I need to talk to Professor Cheol-myung Ryu.”
