Admission is a waste of time (149)
Lesson 30. Final Exam – 4
“Cheers to our special team’s great comeback!”
With a loud “thud!” the stone struck two glasses in the air.
He felt that way because no one responded to his toast.
“If you want to toast, please do it quietly, really.”
Kshanka tried not to hide her irritation at Dolmeng, who had been trying to somehow attract the attention of his juniors (especially the female juniors) and appeal to them.
“And what about the special team? There’s a club called Union Travel. Do you have nothing but rocks in your head?”
“Ugh… … Ha, but Rebellion was already doing well, and this feat was thanks to our special admission students sticking together… … That’s right, Kshanka! Congratulations on your 7th place in the comprehensive evaluation! You’ve risen to over 200th place in one breath. You’re truly the hope of our team, no, our club―.”
“I told you to be quiet, because you didn’t benefit from anything, senior. It’s all thanks to our Yuwon.”
Strictly speaking, she was enjoying the buff effect of the usual stone talisman, but even if she didn’t know about the exploration aspect of the tower, she couldn’t carry an artifact imbued with someone else’s magic during the comprehensive evaluation duel, so it was also true that she didn’t actually benefit from it.
From her perspective, she wanted to somehow gain favor with Ban Yoo-won and become closer to him while drinking with him, but she got annoyed when a stone that had no interest in her bothered her and clung to her, so she responded even more harshly.
“Who is our Yuwon?”
“Ugh――! Oh, ah, our representative! I was going to say our club representative, but that came out wrong!”
“aha.”
However, when Ruchel, who was sitting on the right side of Ban Yu-won, smiled and said this, Kshanna backed away in a huff.
Ruchel was ranked 5th in the first year, and it was a little funny that Kshanna, who ranked 7th in the second year, was afraid of her… … but considering that the first year’s top rankings were a mess, Ruchel was strong enough to represent the year.
Ban Yu-won smiled at that sight and calmed Ruchel down.
“Aren’t you being too kind to your senior, Ruchel?”
“Yes. Yum.”
When he picked up a vegetable stick from the table and put it in Ruchel’s mouth, Ruchel, who had been growling just a moment ago, became quiet and started eating it voraciously.
At that sight, even Kshanah became quiet.
I was overwhelmed by the natural, almost breathing interaction between the two people.
“Why does that rock only do things that unpopular guys are good at?”
In contrast to Ruchel, he shrugged his shoulders and responded to Mira’s pitiful mutterings as she sat on the left side of Ban Yoo-won.
“That’s a common occurrence. If you keep doing this, you’ll start hearing rumors that you stalked a junior during vacation and even went to their house, and when the new semester starts, you won’t even be able to see them in the club.”
The female members of this club should be thankful that each of them lives on a different level.
“… … It seems like you have some experience. Who is that woman? I’ll take care of it.”
“It wasn’t me. It was my older sister who was affected, so don’t make such a scary face.”
Originally, the biggest reason for clubs to break up was the love affairs between men and women.
Especially, there is at least one person in every club who says things like, “Just call me oppa” or “I can do better than that guy”. They always ruin the mood of the meeting by acting up without understanding the mood and end up destroying the club.
I never thought that even here at Union Academy, where the best of the best are gathered, such people would show up… … But if I think about it, it doesn’t seem to be a matter of talent.
“So I thought!”
Since no one toasted him, Dolmeng, who had been drinking alone, spoke in a drunken voice.
“Your test scores must have been good, so I guess I won’t need Ban Yu-won’s help anymore!”
“Huh.”
That guy really looks like he’ll disappear once the new semester starts.
“Look, our abilities have all improved and our written test scores have gotten out of their crisis. So there’s no need to bow down to that brat and roll around anymore!”
“Wow… … That’s really it.”
Woo Hyeol-rin, who always has a smiling face, clapped his hands to Dolmeng’s words with a gentle smile today as well and said.
“That’s a really crappy idea, senior.”
“Is that kid really an intelligent being like us?”
“No, that’s definitely a monster.”
The club members are astonished.
In fact, Ban Yu-won was thinking that it would be okay to just kick Dolmeng out of the club, but before he could readily tear up Dolmeng’s contract, the others started lynching Dolmeng.
“Have you already forgotten about the contract you signed with Yuwon?”
“Senior, can’t you just die?”
“It is a sin to hit a person, but isn’t it innocent to kick a rock?”
“Not guilty.”
“Let everyone who is without sin throw a stone… … .”
“Ah! Argh! Argh! Kkuek! Come on, you all! We will not be slaves!! Kkuaaaak!”
The sight of the rocks being surrounded by members and getting beaten up was a pretty decent tidbit.
Ban Yoo-won enjoyed the sight of Rebellion members and Mira toasting together.
“Wait a minute, let me in too!”
“Hey Misty, you’re here? Leshdo.”
“hi!”
However, Misty and Rushu attended the after-party, albeit late, because they felt a connection to having been in the club for half a semester.
The stone seemed to be happy to see the reinforcements from the two beauties even after being hit, but soon got buried in the crowd again.
“But… …what about Aire?”
“I went on a solo exploration.”
“Ah. The test just ended, so why are you so diligent?”
Misty hung her head in blatant disappointment.
Ban Yu-won smiled bitterly and sat her down.
“There’s no air, but go play. Be careful not to step on that rock over there.”
“Well, I wanted to have a time like this with you guys, so yeah. It’s not so bad… … .”
“How did you even make a reservation here? Even if you somehow managed to get permission for a group activity outside of the club, the competition for party rooms is fierce this season.”
The magical girl Rush, who came with Misty, looked around and asked.
Ban Yu-won silently pointed to Mira sitting next to him.

“power.”
“The power to defeat a special class comprised only of upper-level students… … ?”
“It also means that our club’s status has risen significantly in a short period of time.”
“awesome.”
“I really think Aire has foresight to choose a club like this.”
“You want to praise Aire somehow.”
At first, they joined the club to chase after Aire, but seeing them hanging out together like this now, it seems like they’ve blended in well with the club atmosphere.
“Please take care of me in the second semester as well.”
“Even if you don’t say that, I have nowhere to go anyway.”
“Ugh, I’m a little worried about going home for the holidays… … .”
Because it’s vacation.
Although there are still two weeks of exploration and two weeks of special activities ahead, once they are over, we can finally return to Earth.
‘No, but there’s something I need to finish before that. I think it’s time to get to know the club members… … .’
Ban Yu-won checked the time and stood up from his seat.
While Ruchel and Mira, who had been leaning halfway against him, lost their balance and stumbled, looking at him with somewhat resentful eyes, only Dokgo Yeon, who had been teaching him the art of drinking while working with Light, smiled faintly.
“Are you going to the top?”
“Yeah. I just wanted to wrap things up before we start our exploration.”
“I thought about it carefully. … … If I was going to lose to that punk and just spend the rest of the day drinking with women, I was going to turn it over myself.”
Ruchel questioned Dokgo Yeon on behalf of Ban Yu-won, who had died without her knowledge and came back to life.
“Dokgoyeon, you are too strict. It hasn’t even been half a year since Yuwon started growing in earnest.”
“Those who are talented should not be evaluated by the same standards as ordinary people.”
Dokgo Yeon, who naturally belittled Union Academy, where the most talented people from all dimensions gather, as ordinary, laughed and urged Ban Yu-won on.
“Ban Yu-won, if you’re going to the tower, hurry. As you said yourself, you have to finish it before you enter the dungeon on Monday.”
“Okay, I’ll take this seat.”
“I’ll just take responsibility for this fool.”
“Huh? Are you, like, going? Hehe, then take me too… … Hiccup!”
Seeing Light acting so drunk with his face red like that really feels like a college club dinner.
“I’ll contact Professor Yumina. She’s been singing a song saying that she’ll come right away as soon as she finishes work… … .”
“Professor Yumina is coming?! I can work with her on a masterpiece… … This is really the best! Ban Yuwon, you’re the best!”
“Ah――Senior Woohyeol-rin? Please press the stone well.”
“Leave it to me.”
Only after leaving the cleanup of the stones to Woo Hyeol-rin, the only man he could trust, was Ban Yu-won able to leave the drinking party with peace of mind.
Suddenly, it occurred to me why the stone had made such a ridiculous and pathetic declaration earlier.
‘A drinking joke? No, that can’t be. Maybe it was because I knew about the contract—it was serious.’
As I leave the store and look back, I see Woo Hyeol-rin holding a rock and saying something with a threatening smile.
A stone avoiding the bloodthirsty Wu Xue Lin with an ambiguous expression, Cartro El Pasis.
As the two get closer, a vague floating concept appears around them.
They seem to be trying to hide their thoughts, but unfortunately, Ban Yu-won has the ability to see through the essence more accurately than anyone else.
‘As expected――I get a buff even without a talisman. And at maximum.’
I’m sure they are colleagues.
A team of colleagues who are more deeply connected than the team that climbed the tower together.
Otherwise, there is no way that Woohyul-rin would have been enjoying the maximum effect of his buff before even attaching the talisman to Kartrow.
It was a very suspicious relationship, so Ban Yu-won kept watching them.
On the surface, he just seemed like a fool and a nice person, but that made me even more wary.
‘But, judging from the fact that Woohyullin immediately blocked what Kartrow said earlier, it must have been something he didn’t want to say. Maybe the two are at odds?’
These are two people who are already tied together by a contract.
Either you have the confidence to get out of that contract, or there is something you have to do even if it means taking the risk.
It doesn’t matter either way.
Although the distinction between the two has not been clearly established yet… … If you judge a contract with him as a lower power such as a curse or restriction, you will be in big trouble.
‘I don’t know when you’ll show your true colors, but I hope you’ll stay that way if possible.’
It’s not a very pleasant feeling to directly kick out someone you’re attached to.
Ban Yu-won sighed softly and moved to the tower.
Incidentally, the drinking party that day continued until 3 AM due to the excessive drinking of the professor in charge, Yumina, and, as expected, ended with the stone that was trying to flirt with her being tied to a tree trunk that grew out of the ground and put on display in the city square.
