Admission is a waste of time (159)
Lesson 32. The progress is too fast – 3
The last day of the long-term exploration period, Sunday.
Upon reaching Room 360, Mira, who had achieved a beautiful ending, finished her exploration early and sat down at a cafe she usually visited to enjoy a cup of coffee.
Outside the window, rain was falling steadily.
“Is that coffee good?”
“huh.”
He drank his cafe mocha, responding without hesitation to the words of the female student sitting across from him, his friend Shati, with whom he had been on a quest that had lasted a considerable amount of time.
The rich sweetness seems to be tingling even in my brain.
“That kind of thing really doesn’t change, you.”
“what?”
Chatty, sitting across from me, smiled, sipping her espresso while crossing her legs.
“My tastes change depending on the guy I like. I think it’s cute.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Mira’s face hardened and she showed her rejection, but Shati was determined to have a conversation with her about this matter at least once, so she did not back down and attacked her.
“Until my second year, I only drank vanilla lattes. The ones the vice president drank.”
“… … Well, was that so? I don’t quite remember.”
Mira’s long, delicate eyebrows lowered and she did her best to pretend not to know was so cute, even to a woman like me.
Perhaps she is pretending to forget the past to prove that she is only interested in the man she has now.
I could never have imagined that she would have such a lovely expression when I first met her face two years ago――.
“When I first entered school, I drank black tea while pretending to be a noble young lady.”
“Does drinking black tea make you more socially elevated? Don’t be ridiculous.”
“That’s what you looked like back then. And you really were a princess. On the other hand, I was a beggar who was abandoned even by my own family… … .”
“What are you trying to say? That’s just a facade, and right now you’re one of the brightest talents in this school. Do you really need to mention it?”
Mira reacted sensitively to Shati’s words.
Chatty is a precious friend.
I didn’t want to see her belittle herself.
“No, Mira. Don’t be so sensitive and just listen.”
“… … Phew. Tell me.”
At the time of her admission, Shati was hated by everyone.
The Evil Ones are a race from a higher dimension that everyone knows by name, but at the same time, they are the most hostile race from that dimension.
Moreover, she was hated by her own kind because she could not even properly use the Evil One’s unique power, so she had nowhere to go.
Who could have predicted that she would obtain exclusive investigative authority through a one-on-one meeting with the president?
She was hated even more for that――and turned the situation around by breaking all kinds of records at school just one month after the semester officially started.
It was just strong.
It was because he possessed a strength and potential that anyone who oppressed him could not help but fear, that he was able to silence everyone.
“Wasn’t that a hot comeback?”
“… … That’s right.”
Mira couldn’t help but recall her past as she listened to her words.
Born as a noble of a rare and noble race in the greatest A-1 dimension outside of the dimensions ruled by the teenage families, he was naturally selected to attend the Union Academy.
She attracted everyone’s attention with her beauty and abilities――.
Because I lived a life where everyone was looking up to me, I couldn’t really get a foothold in the academy environment and just wandered around…
I met a kind and wonderful man of the same race, and I was barely able to stand on the ground.
I feel sick.
When I think back to the past, I can’t help but think of Ketra.
“I just thought there were times like that. I’m proud of it. I gave a good kick to the people who looked down on me and ignored me, and with the support of those people, I ended up becoming the student council president.”
“… … .”
“So I don’t plan on pretending my past never existed. I exist because of my past―― I don’t plan on saying something embarrassing like that. I’m just saying that because I had a difficult past, I think I look better now.”
By then Mira had fully realized what Shati was trying to say.
She pressed her teacup against my lower lip and made a pouty expression.
“So? What do you want to say to me? Do you want me to brag about all the things I did in front of Yuwon to get Ketra’s attention in the past?”
Of course, back when I first got to know Yuwon, I made a few mistakes because it was so different from Ketra.
I have no intention of doing such a rustic thing now.
“He really is going to such extremes. I’m just saying that there’s no need to desperately ignore him.”
“You said something like that after helping me chase Ketra away?”
“Huh? Oh, no. I’m not telling you to be friends with the Vice President. I told you I don’t like that guy either.”
“Huh… … Wait a minute. Here, order.”
Mira, who had finished her glass, ordered another cafe mocha.
I had a feeling that the story would get long.
But when Shati saw that, she was dumbfounded.
“Even if you drink something so sweet over and over again, you won’t gain weight?”
“It’s not steaming.”
Fairy changelings have an ability that any woman would envy: the ability to convert the nutrients they consume into magical power.
So no matter how much sweet food she ate, she couldn’t gain weight.
Rather, it was possible to use changeling to develop only the parts that one wanted to develop.
“To be exact, just steam the parts you want to steam. Since Yuwon seems to prefer bigger ones… … I’m going to try to make them grow a little more.”
“You’re so cute, I want to hit you.”
Shati is seething with murderous intent at Mira, who says such things while emphasizing her body parts.

Meanwhile, Mira nodded as she accepted the teacup the clerk brought.
“Okay, let’s continue talking.”
“I was talking about the Vice President… … . Yeah, I’m telling you not to pretend to forget your past, not because I want you to get along with the Vice President again.”
“No?”
“I just want you to feel better.”
“My mind is already at ease.”
The moment she took her first sip of Cafe Mocha, Mira’s smile was truly dazzling.
Just like a girl in love.
Even though she knew that her feelings for Ban Yu-won were genuine――Shati still felt uneasy.
“I think there’s a difference between emptying the contents and putting a lid on it and pretending not to know?”
“It’s empty. It’s gone now. Yuwon emptied it.”
“If you really empty it, that’s more of a problem. Besides, I don’t think he’ll care about your past. Rather, wouldn’t he accept it all?”
“Shati, I hate it when you say that.”
Mira thought, grumbling.
Certainly, the contract with him is like that.
But can we really leave everything up to him?
Things you really don’t want to show him, things that are dirty and messy, things that might hurt his feelings… … Shouldn’t you be the one to sort those things out yourself?
“I’m not pretending not to know, I just don’t know. Ketra can’t have any influence on me. There’s nothing left. Does this also seem like a lie?”
“You must be serious. That’s why I’m worried.”
“worry?”
Well, everyone wants every love to be their first love.
If it’s really your first love every time, wouldn’t that mean you’re just marking time without any growth?
But even though she thought that to herself, Shati swallowed the words tightly because she thought she would be called childish if she said them out loud.
Even if you try to give advice on love, it’s because you don’t have any experience of your own.
Shati slumped her shoulders weakly and spat out whatever came to mind.
“… … I just hope you don’t hate your past too much, whatever it may be. It’s not like you slept with the vice president, right?”
“Of course! And it’s embarrassing… … !”
Looking at Mira, who was blushing and getting angry, the corners of Shati’s mouth went up to one side.
“Ah, that reaction is as expected. You haven’t slept with the planning manager yet? No, you haven’t slept with him?”
“Ugh… … .”
A mummy with her mouth shut after being stabbed in the sore spot.
Shati continued speaking with a grin.
“Rebellion’s special activity this time is to go to the hometown of that kid named Ruchel. Don’t touch the dragons in the lair, and the slimes in the swamp are half eaten and go in. If you’re not careful, you’ll really get overtaken.”
“That’s why we’re gathered here now. To discuss special activities! No matter what happens, no matter how the evaluation comes out, we’re going to finish this as quickly as possible and head to Yuwon. Got it?!”
“Yes, yes, for the sake of our Mira-yang’s love, we need to help the kind student council president~.”
Shati laughed out loud at Mira’s childish annoyance and thought about the charming man Mira loved, Ban Yu-won.
And then, what was she thinking about? She thought about Ketra, who had started to become obsessed with Mira only after they had grown distant――.
‘I think someone is going to get hurt.’
The devil’s intuition is never wrong, especially in a bad way.
Shati sighed and muttered.
‘If they’re going to get hurt anyway, I hope it’s only that lucky vice president who gets hurt, not our cuties.’
* * *
E-1 dimension.
It was the dimension that became Ruchel’s hometown.
The fact that it was selected as a special activity means that a crisis is currently approaching that level.
Considering the case of Light, who had returned in a hurry after receiving a signal that his own dimension was in danger―― I couldn’t help but suspect an outside trick.
At the same time, he began to worry about his and Dokgo Yeon’s background.
―Ex―2 and Ex―1 are currently safe, so there is no need to worry.
“Wait a minute, Master. What did you say?”
That evening, before the special activity began, the president called Ban Yu-won in and said something that confused Ban Yu-won.
By the way, today the president was dressed as an astronaut doll.
Even though the footage was clearly completely hidden, it seemed like Ban Yu-won knew exactly what he had obtained from the tower this time.
What’s annoying is that this astronaut doll is pretty cute.
―That means you don’t have to worry about your dimension and the dimension of your student, Dokgoyeon.
“So why is it an Ex? No, wait… … an Exception?”
– Correct. It is a name given to distinguish a dimension that cannot be defined by existing methods. Is there a need for an explanation as to why it is an exception?
“Is it because I was selected for Union Academy there even though I don’t have any mana?”
―That’s correct. But that’s about your dimension, and the dimension of the student Dokgoyeon――.
“That’s fine.”
Ban Yu-won cut off the president’s words firmly.
“I’ll hear it directly from Dokgo Yeon later.”
-You seem to prefer going through unnecessary processes.
The president did not understand Ban Yu-won’s thoughts, but gave it to him according to his will.
In fact, the fact that he forgave Ban Yoo-won even though he had cut him off was proof that the president was giving him special treatment.
“So… … Did Ryu Cheol-myeong have any influence on the selection of the E-1 dimension as a special activity dimension?”
-I can’t tell you that. But what I can tell you for sure is that it’s the best thing for you.
Ban Yu-won now fully understood the president’s personality.
To be clear, the president likes Ban Yoo-won.
But that favor is extremely distorted, and this case is no exception――.
“No matter how much I struggle, go and fight, break, and grow.”
―Your growth is truly amazing. I cannot deny that my guidance has had an influence on it.
India.
India.
“So you want me to say thank you?”
-No way, I should be the one thanking you.
The astronaut doll split in half, revealing the fluffy eyes I’d seen before.
Eyes that are clearly looking straight at the half-circle.
―You are truly an interesting observation. The most interesting since that child.
I don’t feel like asking who that kid is.
The president already knows how far Ban Yu-won is aware.
Is there anyone the president can call so friendly?
‘It must be Mina.’
Exodus, an organization that suddenly appeared and committed terrorism during a special activity that all students participated in.
Ban Yu-won clearly remembered the derogatory terms they used to call Yumi.
The monster’s adopted daughter.
There is only one thing they can call a monster.
This eyeball floating in front of my eyes.
“Why, should I call you principal too?”
-Call me Master.
“… … Professor Yumina also raised you like this?”
-That child was weaker and more delicate than you.
But the anti-fan is strong, so he treats them particularly harshly.
Ban Yu-won, who heard the president’s omitted remark, snorted and turned around to say.
“I won’t play along with you forever.”
-I am not hostile to you. But still, is there any point in saying something that could put me on guard?
“You still don’t understand the power of words when you give orders with just a word.”
Ban Yu-won’s eyes glowed golden as he turned around, leaving the astronaut doll behind.
Since completing his Aura, the light emitted by his power has become even stronger.
“This is a declaration that it will come true unconditionally. You will know when you wait.”
-Then I’ll be looking forward to it.
The president answered with sincerity and without a single lie.
-Come back safely.
“of course.”
That’s how the last interview of the first semester ended.
And the next day, Monday.
The Rebellion Party departed for the E-1 dimension.
