Admission is a waste of time (166)
Lesson 34. Free Subordination – 1
The term ‘Sikshinrang’ (喰神狼) refers to a wolf that eats gods.
A representative example is Fenrir, the son of Loki who ate Odin, the god of Ragnarok, in Norse mythology.
Coming to Union Academy and studying the history of other dimensions, I learned that similar legends to Fenrir’s story were passed down in other dimensions, just with different names.
――Actually, there were quite a few cases where even the names matched, but since the Tower of Babel originated on Earth, there would be no point in tackling it.
Then what about the nine-tailed fox? On Earth, it is a great monster that originated in East Asia, and like Fenrir, it can be easily found in legends and myths from other dimensions.
It is said that it has a tail divided into nine parts, which allows it to display supernatural powers, and that it is famous for bewitching people and eating their livers.
In China, she was portrayed as the great evil woman Daji, who became the concubine of the King of the Yin Dynasty and ruined the country. In Japan, she was portrayed as Tamamo-no-Mae, who bewitched the emperor.
Although we don’t actually know what the nature of the gumiho is, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the most famous of the beasts that are passed down through stories.
“But the blood of those two is in Ruchel’s veins.”
“It’s a miraculous probability. It’s not easy for those of us who inherit the blood of ancient gods to leave behind descendants.”
“That may be true.”
Without even examining each one, Canid and Lucia’s abilities are the strongest in the Wolftooth Tribe.
If those two could easily have children—this expression may not be polite, but they would have produced as many strong children as possible to increase the power of the tribe.
Even if Ruchel had entered the academy, they would have to have a new child in order to create a successor… … .
“Son-in-law, that’s a bit different. It’s true that it’s difficult――but you’re not even trying.”
After pouring the alcohol into Banyuwon’s glass, Canid put the remaining half of the bottle to his lips and drank it, making a bitter expression.
“It’s my fault. If I hadn’t been so greedy when I was younger, I wouldn’t have made a contract with that guy… … .”
“It’s enough that Ruchel is suffering. I can’t give the constellations any more weaknesses.”
Instead of the mumbled Cannibal, Lucia explained.
Indeed, Ban Yu-won soon realized it too.
They are worried that the Constellation might do the same thing to Lucelle.
‘Wait, but I have to do that somehow――.’
Ban Yu-won looked at Ruchel, who was acting cute and making pleasant cries in his arms, for a moment (it was because he was drunk), and then swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
What the heck? Could it be that they’re going to say that if they have children, they’ll be subjugated and protected from the constellations?
Isn’t it true that the leash remains the same, but the owner just changes?
It was shameless of him to come forward and say that it was ‘help’, even though he had been worrying about his relationship with Ruchel for a long time.
“Ruchel’s depth of field… … cannot be considered completely resolved.”
So he said something else instead.
“We’re still researching how to do that. So… … please wait a moment.”
“Thank you.”
Did you notice any hesitation or guilt in his words?
Kanid smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
“Our daughter found a really good owner.”
“He said he was a master worth devoting his soul to.”
Lucia added in a calm tone.
He was embarrassed for no reason and avoided eye contact, but Ruchel grabbed his sleeve and dug deeper into his arms.
“I think he’s asleep.”
“Education, I made it poisonous.”
“I’m just saying this just in case, but please don’t tell me what kind of training you received.”
It’s scary enough that it’s education for the purpose of raising children, but how can such a terrifying combination exist when the teacher is a gumiho?
He smiled bitterly, caressing Ruchel in his arms.
If she’s the daughter of a gumiho, it’s only natural that she’d be born with the talent to charm people.
“I’ll save it for you.”
“of course.”
Ban Yu-won nodded firmly at Canid’s words.
That’s something I was prepared for from the moment I became tied to Ruchel in a master-servant relationship.
“–iced coffee.”
At that moment, Sloty, who was slowly approaching while holding a jug of wine, looked at Ruchel and sighed softly.
“The princess stole the player.”
“That’s why I told you to at least practice seducing men, Slotty.”
“It was annoying back then… … .”
-Kuung. While putting the jug of wine down on the table and responding to Canid, Sloti’s eyes were fixed straight on Ban Yu-won.
It looks like he’s locking on so he doesn’t miss it.
Ban Yu-won sincerely thought that it was fortunate that Ruchel was there.
If it weren’t for that, I might have been eaten in an instant.
“It’s not too late, so try hard.”
“Yes, Empress Dowager Na shines in war. It’s a great opportunity to show off.”
“war…….”
Ban Yu-won stiffened at Sloti’s nonchalant remark.
She was already preparing for the coming war.
There was a banquet going on and people were getting excited everywhere and were pouring drinks and drinking, but in the midst of all that, Sloti, the forest manager, was calmly assessing the situation.
No, maybe those people who seem so at ease right now――.
Ban Yu-won asked Sloty while stroking Ruchel’s head, who had no intention of getting up.
“They say enemies come from the sky too. Can you monitor them?”
“Yes, the leaves whisper.”
At that point, I wonder if he’s just a spirit master rather than someone who controls trees.

But then, Dokgoyeon appeared behind him, carrying a bunch of food.
“When I told them I was with you, they gave me a lot of food here and there. Eat it.”
“thank you.”
Ban Yu-won took a bite of the snack that Dokgo Yeon offered him (it was a sweet snack made from hardened sap).
“By the way, have you two been together until now?”
“Because we fought.”
Ban Yu-won flinched at Dokgo Yeon’s careless remark.
Looking back, I didn’t notice it at first, but there were a lot of bruises on Sloty’s body, and his hair was even more disheveled.
On the other hand, Dokgo Yeon – Ban Yu-won didn’t have to worry.
“You’re strong. You’re not some idiot who would rush at me just because of my abilities.”
“You really are so outspoken. Why did you fight in the first place?”
Dokgo Yeon turned his head away, as if he had no intention of answering that obvious question.
On the other hand, Sloty tilted his head and said nonchalantly.
“Stress relief?”
And he replied.
“You were strong. As expected, a strong man attracts a strong woman.”
“Hey, what the――!”
And then, perhaps because he felt something was missing, he added something like that.
Those words seemed to treat Dokgo Yeon as Ban Yu-won’s woman, so he tried to quickly step forward and deny it, but…
“Huh, we’re just a team that trains together. Just because we hang out doesn’t mean we’re all family. I wish you wouldn’t treat us like you.”
Dokgo Yeon was the first to step forward and cut off that illusion.
It was a remark that could be very unpleasant depending on how you heard it, but did Sloty say that he fought to relieve stress and become more calm?
When Sloty heard that, he tilted his head as if he didn’t understand something, but then he shrugged his shoulders as if he understood and sat down next to Ban Yu-won.
“Anyway, you are popular.”
“I’m kind of popular.”
It’s annoying that I have a personality that can’t lie.
As Ban Yu-won responded calmly, Sloti leaned her head on his shoulder with a determined expression.
“Then I’ll give the first child to the princess. I want the second child.”
“… … That’s why I told you not to show such a vulgar appearance in front of me.”
Ah, so there was a reason for the fight.
Ban Yu-won shook his head as he watched Dokgo Yeon, who was once again raising speculation, and Sloty, who was annoyed but got up from his seat to respond to him – and in the process, secretly touched Ban Yu-won’s hand.
I was convinced that nothing good would come of interfering in the fight between these two, so I decided to ignore it for now and just do what I had to do.
“Is that a mirror?”
“It’s a tool that can connect to the Union Net. Then, wouldn’t it be possible for you, Chief, to do it too?”
“We connect through sorcery. We don’t use it often though.”
Ban Yu-won, who had finished his business quickly, put the mirror in his bosom and offered to transfer the mirror he had as a spare just in case, but Kanid refused, saying that he had no intention of getting involved in any outside matters.
As expected, they don’t like being connected to the outside world.
This special activity is a serious enough problem that even considering that, we have no choice but to send a rescue request to the Union――.
“Ruchel, this guy is completely out of it. I’m sorry, son-in-law, but can you move Ruchel to her room? Do you see the hole in the biggest tree over there, marked with pink fur?”
“Can I take you there?”
“Okay. I think I’ve said most of what I needed to say, so you can rest here too.”
Could it be that he was planning to force the sleeping Ruchel and Ban Yu-won into the same room and have them commit the crime?
If that’s really the case, then it’s underestimating Ban Yoo-won’s patience.
He was the one who shared a room with a defenseless girl (Light) for an entire semester without any problems!
Ban Yu-won laughed inwardly at Canid’s clever trick, then stood up from his seat and picked up Ruchel.
“――That’s what I mean by vulgar!”
“Humans are really uncomfortable, it would be comfortable if they just took everything off… …!”
Looking back, I saw the drunkards who had been drinking spread out their distance and started a fierce battle that was hard to tell if it was a duel or a real fight, and they were applauding while watching Dokgoyeon and Sloty.
If you look at it that way, it seems like Dokgo Yeon has blended in with the crowd faster than anyone else. – Ban Yu-won sighed and gave a request to Canid.
“He has a bad mouth, but he’s not really a bad kid. If he makes any mistakes, please forgive him. Please.”
“Haha, of course. Of course I wouldn’t be rude to my son-in-law’s wife.”
“No, that’s not what I’m talking about… … Okay.”
There is no way to resolve the deep-rooted misconception that arises from racial differences.
Ban Yu-won sighed and stepped back from his spot.
“Then get some rest, son-in-law!”
“Just do as you were taught.”
He nods his head in response to the incomprehensible words thrown by Canid and Lucia, and kicks off the ground to reach his destination in one breath.
As I went inside the fairly large hole, there was a room that looked like what Ruchel would have written before coming to the academy.
A few cute pieces of furniture, a few books, toys, and a big, wide, soft-looking bed.
“It’s a little touching.”
The concept of everything that entered his eyes was proving the records and history that Ruchel had built up in this world.
Because he was a special person to me, such a small record was even more touching.
thud.
There was a heavy sound.
“Huh? Ah… … .”
The light pouring in through the hole disappeared, and I quickly realized that the hole was closed.
Could this also be Canid’s work?
However, since Ban Yu-won’s eyes could see through all the darkness, he would not panic when the hole closed, and after laying Ruchel down on the bed, he opened it and left――.
“Huh huhu.”
A seductive laughter was heard.
The moment he heard that, Ban Yu-won realized that his calculations had been wrong from the beginning.
“You pretended to sleep?”
“Youwon, were you fooled?”
Ruchel, who had been in his arms, had wrapped her arms around his neck and was looking at his face with enough distance for their noses to touch.
“I made sure you were asleep… …with my power.”
“Then, you’re saying I really fooled you. Did you know that nine-tailed foxes are famous for fooling people?”
“You learned that.”
“It would have been impossible in the past when it was just a penny. It’s all thanks to Yuwon.”
Even in the darkness, I could see Ruchel’s brightly smiling face.
Ban Yu-won thought to himself that his power still had a long way to go and quietly raised the white flag.
Soon, Lucille’s beautiful smile filled his vision.
Did they segggggg?
