Admission is a waste of time (114)
Lesson 24. Where can I find a freshman like you? – 2
The freshmen are still busy adjusting to the academy and don’t have much time to think about it, but every Sunday is a very important day for the current students at the academy.
This is because it is the day when the rankings, or so-called rankings, of students who have completed their explorations from Friday to Sunday (of course, there are students who come out of the tower on Saturday or, in extreme cases, Friday due to retirement or rest) are updated.
This ranking system is linked to the Academy’s intranet, which can be accessed via student ID, and is updated as students move from the top.
Of course, it is possible to set it to private, but since rankings are a measure of a student’s ability along with the overall evaluation sparring rank, there were almost no teams that set it to private.
“Hey hey, this week’s rankings have been updated.”
“Oh? I told you there are some who always stay until the very end. They have to leave by 6pm anyway.”
On Sunday afternoon, students who finished their exploration early sat around the cafeteria of the annex building or the restaurant’s cafeteria, each holding a drink and chatting while waiting for the rankings to be updated.
This week was the first week since the regular exams ended and the tower exploration resumed, so a lot of people’s attention was focused on the rankings…
“……uh?”
“What? If you’re a third-year ranking, you’re the student council president?”
“That girl is always the top soloist, so why bother looking at her? She’s from the same student council.”
“The head of the public relations department? It’s certainly great, but it’s always on the same level as the vice president… … Huh?”
This week in particular, there were a lot of changes in the rankings.
Mira, the head of the student council’s public relations department, has the exclusive exploration authority that only four third-year students have, and her performance is comparable to that of the fourth-year vice president team.
She was finally, or should I say, approaching the ranking of student council president, let alone Ketchum, by breaking through more than 10 rooms this week alone.
Above them are only a few fourth-year students and graduating fifth-year students.
Competing with seniors after a gap of two years.
And that too, as a solo exploration!
“Ha, this is… … .”
“It’s completely watered down. Was it a great match with the constellation?”
“In this case, the third year students will have a perfect upper structure with the student council president, the head of the public relations department, and two people doing independent investigations.”
“Even so, at a point when we’re approaching 300 rooms, how can we have more than ten rooms… … Didn’t that freshman guy I’m with these days do something for us?”
“If you’re saying that from watching that boot camp channel or something, then forget about it. Are those unfamiliar punks the same as the Elf Tribe elite?”
Exclamations erupted from all directions, along with whispers of Mira’s name.
People were already paying a lot of attention to him since he was seen with Ban Yoo-won all week, so it was impossible not to pay attention when this major accident occurred.
Then I naturally became curious.
The ranking of the new student chosen as the boyfriend of the beautiful fairy girl that everyone in the academy was aiming for.
“Room 30… … It’s ordinary?”
“I saw the video, you lost it once before. Considering that, it’s fast.”
“If you look at the entire first year, it’s average, right? It’s average, but… … .”
The rankings of the first-year freshmen, who were still in the process of adjusting to the academy and the top, were actually difficult to evaluate at this point.
But even among them, there were those who were already standing out.
Even though he had to leave the academy for a while due to an injury sustained during a special activity, he was the successor of the teenage family, Lucain Ortima, who led the team members who had been waiting for him and quickly reached the 50th room.
This was the case for Ayre, who had acquired exclusive exploration rights upon entering the school, and had already reached Room 70 by breaking through the tower at the fastest speed ever.
“If we look at it only in objective rankings, we are far behind those guys.”
“There is no comparison.”
The students checked the first-year rankings two or three times and shared a common expression.
This is the expression people often make when faced with something they cannot understand.
“But why do these Rebellion guys always have to explore areas larger than 100 rooms… … .”
“Wasn’t there anything like a chain room below room 100? Are those guys really only allowed to go up to room 30?”
“Even though the tower’s reaction varies depending on each individual’s ability, how good is it?”
That was when.
Without a doubt, most students’ mirrors briefly vibrated to notify them of the news.
“Rebellion’s new video is up!”
“Uh… … Do you see that too?”
The students simultaneously took out their mirrors and exchanged somewhat awkward glances.
It was because I was reluctant to admit that I was always waiting for my junior’s exploration videos as a senior.
“But… … Don’t you see everything?”
“When I see what that bastard Ban Yoo-won does, I see things that I should learn from… … .”
“What kind of freshman is this?”
“I’m just saying that all the freshmen this year are weird? Especially these Rebellion guys.”
But when you realize that everyone is in the same situation, there is nothing to be ashamed of anymore.
They proudly played the video, sharing smiles filled with camaraderie.
“Oh, that, what is it? Isn’t the pink hair pretty?”
“What you do is pretty too. If only there wasn’t Ban Yoo-won, I would have just… … .”
“You’re cute today too.”
“The martial arts world where this silver-haired man was must have been a dimension that broke away from Origin. If this guy is from a lower dimension, are you telling us to go out and die?”
They were all subscribers to the Rebellion channel.
… … There was even a person who was a member of the fan club Level Force.
Many of the students, who had confirmed that everyone was similar, sat down at the table and watched the video together… … .
“―Wait a minute, this is a chain with 27 rooms?!”
“Reward! This is definitely from Room 30 – as expected, a treasure chest came out!”
The absurdity of what the Rebellion team had done at the top this time was spread throughout the Academy in just a few hours.

Monday morning.
Mira sighed as she looked around the ‘special admissions student training room’ that had been set up after receiving approval from the student council president, three full professors (Campanella, Yumina, Zenon), and finally the president in order to proceed with this project.

“Why did this have to be so difficult to prepare?”
A dedicated training room that was originally supposed to be given to each class.
However, special admission students had not been recognized as a class until now, and with Professor Yumina taking charge of the first-year special admission students, a dedicated training room was barely created.
In fact, it was seeing this that made the student council want to take action.
―Until then, I had never even thought of providing a training room for special admission students.
“We finally have our own private training room! Yayhoo!”
“If you don’t want the training room to close on the first day of opening, stop rolling around and get up right now, Senior Pebble!”
“… … If you liked it that much, you should have applied a long time ago.”
“Did you do it?”
The stone rolling on the floor (now even the other juniors were calling him a stone) suddenly raised its head and spoke.
“But I was rejected because there were no vacant rooms.”
“Ha, yeah. That must have been the case… … .”
The group training rooms in the Academy’s second annex are definitely limited in number.
However, there are definitely rooms left over after assigning them to every grade and every class in the academy, and up until now, these have been called free training rooms and have been available for use if you make a reservation in advance.
The problem is that this reservation has a priority.
Needless to say, the priorities were set, but the conclusion was that the free practice room was like a playground for special class students.
And this time, thanks to a determined student council, a few right-thinking faculty members, and most importantly, the presence of Ban Yu-won, we managed to reclaim one of them!
“From now on, it’s up to you.”
Mira said in a cold voice as she watched the special admission students who were happily rolling around on the floor, deliberately ignoring the rocks, and taking up a suitable spot in the training room and activating the talismans Ban Yu-won had given them.
“If you don’t get results, you can’t even keep this room. On the other hand, if you get good results, you can be assigned separate rooms by grade. In order to overturn the Academy’s unreasonable practices, you have to make everyone shut up with overwhelming results.”
“I know! Our Mira… … the head of the public relations department! She cares about us this much!”
The stone slyly called Mira by her name, but then quickly changed his words when he saw several purple orbs rising around her body.
But Mira just laughed at that.
“Not for you. For the student council. For a more proper academy. … … And for my man.”
“Ouch.”
In fact, in addition to that, there was also Mira’s own guilt that could not be erased even though she had left everything to Ban Yu-won.
It’s the guilt of being possessed by the constellation and almost committing an outrageous mistake by dragging in countless students, including Ketra.
But I can’t do that because I know that the moment I admit it, I will collapse.
That doesn’t mean we can do nothing.
This incident also began after her agony.
‘I don’t want to tell you all these annoying worries. I said I’d give you everything, but I can’t, so I’m sorry. I’ll really give you everything else… … .’
She clenched her hands together, imagining the contractor’s face.
I felt myself growing increasingly impatient because I hadn’t seen you since Friday and up until this moment today.
Actually, I just want to see him.
It was incredible.
‘It’s so different.’
When I had feelings for Ketra, there were times when I was afraid of meeting him.
I’m stressed by his actions, and I’m stressed by the way he treats me.
I’ve had foolish thoughts like, “I miss him, but I wish I could just keep my feelings for him without ever meeting him.”
Ban Yu-won was different.
As I listen to his voice, I want to hear more.
Even when I look at your face, I feel thirsty and want to see more.
When we’re apart, I feel anxious, and when we’re together, I want to get closer.
Even though I knew that it wasn’t an ordinary love, it was a more distorted and obsessive feeling.
Still, I felt comfortable and happy when I thought of him.
‘Because you said you would take my all.’
It’s all because of that one word.
He probably regrets it a lot, because he said he would take it all without knowing that she was such a heavy, annoying, and troublesome woman.
The contract has already been made and cannot be cancelled.
She can just indulge herself in her relationship with him without worrying about anything.
“The PR manager is lost in his thoughts with an expression on his face that I’ve never seen before.”
“No, it seems like we’re no longer in their sights.”
“Ban Yu-won, I’m so grateful to you, but right now I want to curse you… … .”
“Isn’t there something wrong with your head? How can one of the elite fairies in the Academy be a human… … .”
“What are you saying?”
The next moment, Mira snapped her fingers, snapping out of her fantasy and sending all the special students near her flying all the way to the opposite wall.
As expected of a student council president who had already established herself as a figure who surpassed her grade level, the students were left speechless without even being able to respond properly.
“Go practice.”
“yes……!”
Mira sighed as she watched the special admission students disperse without even making a sound.
They are also elites with special abilities that befit the name of special recruitment.
It may not have been like that when he first entered the academy, but as he got used to the academy’s unique elitism and unreasonable treatment, his personality seemed to have become a little meaner.
Before developing their abilities, we may have to do something about their personality and attitude…
“Thank you so much, PR Manager.”
“hmm?”
When Mira turned her head, the only person there was Woo Hyeol-rin, a third-year male student from the special admissions program who Ban Yu-won had praised.
“what.”
“This is a lot of hard work. I guess you’ve been busy lately.”
“ah…….”
“I’m just a little worried about your health. Actually, this is also the job of Ban Yu-won, but I feel like you’re taking on too much of a burden.”
Mirado was also aware that she was pushing herself too hard these days.
But that didn’t bother me.
It was also thanks to the fact that my body was strengthened in an instant when I made a contract with the constellation… … but when I thought about how I was working hard for Ban Yu-won, the fatigue that had been building up seemed to disappear in an instant.
But she couldn’t say such things to a complete stranger, so she just shook her head.
“You don’t have to worry about me. You just have to focus on making this project successful.”
“If it’s okay, then fine. But if you have any difficulties, feel free to consult me. After all, we’re contract holders with the same zodiac sign.”
Woo Hyeol-rin left the place after saying just those words.
“I see, that’s how it was,” Mira thought, nodding quietly.
– Is it hate towards your own kind? You don’t seem to be in a very good mood.
‘Fellow countrymen? No way. I guess it’s okay to hate them.’
Mira snickered at the gravedigger of her contracted constellation Purgatory who was speaking to her in her head.
‘I just felt uncomfortable when people approached me as if they were friendly just because we had the same constellation as our contractors.’
-You’re being too strict. Do you plan on not talking to any men other than the one you love?
‘The reason men talk to women as if they’re close is usually because they want to mix things up, not just words.’
-That’s true too.
The constellation laughed cheerfully.
―But since we are both handling the same type of abilities, if we become close, we will be able to help each other.
‘You just want my relationships to be complicated.’
– I’m both happy and sad that my contractor is so wise.
She didn’t respond any further.
Since she had entrusted everything to Ban Yu-won from the beginning, all future relationships had to be centered around him.
The constellations don’t understand it yet.
Even if I understood, there wouldn’t be anything I could do about it.
“Oh, it seems bigger than the 11th class training room.”
“… … !”
Her pointed ears perked up at the voice coming from behind her.
She turned around, pretending to be calm.
The person I was waiting for has arrived.
“You’re here, Yuwon.”
“Yeah. I’ll give you a new talisman and a training tool exclusively for Senior Kshana… … Huh?”
Contrary to her calm expression, her body was honestly embracing Ban Yoo-won.
She never hesitated to give him her all.
“Ahhh, I can’t lose!”
“So why is Ruchel competitive there?”
Pok. With him, Ruchel appeared, startled, and hugged Ban Yu-won from the other side, leaving him in a situation like ham stuck between sandwich bread.
“Hey, both of you calm down. … … Ah, this is doomed.”
Ban Yu-won sighed as he tried to separate the two.
“… … I’m here on student council business. Junior Ban Yu-won, can I talk to you for a moment?”
The student council vice president, Ketra, was staring at them.
If I had to say, it felt like I was looking at a mummy, not a half-moon… … .
She didn’t realize it and was just enjoying the embrace of the contractor she had met a few days ago.
