Admission is a Waste of Time Chapter 185

Admission is a waste of time (185)

Lesson 36. How are you feeling now? – 5

There was no need to wait until evening.

After taking a bath with Ruchel, Ban Yu-won was lying down on the living room sofa in a daze, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen―the sound of ingredients being chopped with a knife, the sound of stew bubbling, and the chatter of Ruchel and her mother interspersed in between―as background music, and was spacing out for the first time in a long while.

The front door opened wide and his older sister came home.

“Banyuwon! Hey, Banyuwon!”

Ban Yu-won sighed at the sight of his older sister coming in screaming as if she was going to turn the whole house upside down, as if she was afraid that even a single person would notice.

“Why are you opening the door and coming in tired instead of just destroying the house?”

“Ah!”

“100 million!”

When Ban Yu-mi saw that Ban Yu-won was lying there without raising his head and answering, she got angry and flew at him, crushing him.

His sister was still beautiful, but still loud and violent.

Plus, it was dirty and heavy, probably because I was wearing combat gear.

“Oh, come on!”

Ban Yu-won, who did not want to take a bath again, pushed his sister away after pulling out and erasing all the dirt related to her and himself, but surprisingly, she did not get pushed away and held on.

Considering that Ban Yu-won had mastered martial arts and had been strengthened in many ways, this was truly absurd.

“Ban Yu-won, is it okay for you to do that to your sister whom you haven’t seen in months? Huh?”

“When you went to the Olympics, it was common for you to not see each other for months, but now you’re telling me to stop holding you back.”

Ban Yu-mi pinches and pulls Ban Yu-won’s body here and there to check if it’s real.

Although the method was violent, he probably welcomed it, and he thought that he couldn’t do it if he didn’t think so, so he turned to Ban Yu-mi, but the next moment, Ban Yu-won stopped.

“What, did you fall in love with me because I’m so pretty?”

“You should only do that kind of provocation to monsters… … No, it’s you, Sister.”

Ban Yu-won rubbed his eyes, but there was no change in the information he read in his reading glasses.

He hesitated, not knowing what to say, but soon licked his lips and recited the most plausible information he had read.

“How many monsters have you slaughtered to be already level 50?”

According to the concepts I have been looking at through Mandok-an and comparing them with my friends’ status windows, life level 10 matches level 1.

Since Ban Yumi’s life has reached 500, her level is 50.

Ban Yu-mi was greatly embarrassed by Ban Yu-won’s words.

“Oh, how do you know that…? You haven’t even made it public.”

Ban Yu-won tapped my eyes and showed off.

“This guy has a higher power than the status window. So what is the undying flame?”

“Wow, I guess I’m really crazy. There aren’t many people who even know the name of my power… … .”

“Oh, it’s a secret.”

At that moment, Kang Eun-young came running out of the kitchen.

“Yumi, are you here? No matter how happy you are to see your little sister, you have to tell your mom that you’re home.”

“What’s so good about this? Ah… … .”

At that moment, Ban Yu-mi’s face hardened as she noticed Ruchel poking his head out from behind Kang Eun-young.

Ban Yu-won looked at it and calmly assessed the current situation.

Q: What was your reaction when you first saw your younger brother’s girlfriend?

A: You witness an unbelievable reality, are gripped by fear, scream, and lose consciousness.

“Are you panicking right away without even checking the SAN value…?”

“Hello. My name is Ruchel.”

Leaving Ban Yu-won talking nonsense, Ruchel bowed her head politely to Ban Yu-mi.

Ban Yu-mi, who received her greeting… … surprisingly bowed her head with the same courtesy.

“Hello. I’m Yuwon’s older sister, Ban Yumi. Is Yuwon your girlfriend? I saw you on the Rebellion channel.”

Ban Yu-won was gripped by fear after witnessing the unbelievable reality and urgently checked his SAN level.

Fortunately, I was able to resist and maintain my sanity… … .

No, why is my sister acting like that?!

That older sister who used to hate me whenever she saw me with a girl and would curse me out saying that I would regret dating such a rough guy!

“Please speak comfortably. And I am not your girlfriend, but a slave… … .”

“Stop!”

Ban Yu-won was frozen in surprise at his sister’s unexpected appearance, but he sensed that something problematic was about to come out of Ruchel’s mouth and immediately stopped her.

“Ruchel, please refrain from using that expression on Earth.”

“But I am your slave, master?”

“I feel like tackling that in itself… … but anyway, that’s not allowed. Just like when we were in the Union, Master, it’s forbidden except when we’re alone.”

“Ugh… … I can’t help it.”

In fact, I thought that maybe it was already wrong since the Earthlings knew about the Rebellion Channel, but I decided to ignore that for now.

And Ban Yu-mi and Kang Eun-young were watching the two having that conversation.

Ban Yu-mi winked at Kang Eun-young to signal her to do something, but Kang Eun-young shook her head, indicating that even though she had already pointed it out, it had not worked at all.

Ban Yu-mi, who had been clicking her tongue, had no choice but to speak to Ruchel.

“Can I call you Ruchel?”

“Yes, brother.”

“Tongue, bro.”

Ban Yu-mi, who almost collapsed at that title, held on with all her might and continued speaking.

“It seems like your relationship with Yuwon is a bit special… … Don’t you think Yuwon needs to be so greedy and stubborn? It’s ridiculous to treat your girlfriend like a slave. And to allow other women… … . If Yuwon has a weakness for you.”

“Huh.”

Lucelle laughed.

“Why, why are you laughing?”

“No, I thought that the siblings really looked alike… … .”

“What.”

“that is.”

“Ruchel couldn’t hold back his laughter as he explained.

“Master… … No, even Yuwon hates the master-servant relationship. I find it funny that you react the same way… … .”

When Ban Yu-mi heard those words, her expression changed into something indescribable.

“… … What on earth is this master-servant relationship that the master hates?”

“Do you understand now? This is how I live.”

Ban Yu-won speaks with a sigh.

While Ban Yu-mi remained silent and unable to say anything else, Kang Eun-young spoke with a rather serious expression.

“Is Mira like this too?”

“That one is a bit worse.”

“What on earth is your son doing at school?”

Ban Yu-won really wanted to refute, but he decided to keep his mouth shut after thinking about what had happened during the previous semester.

* * *

The atmosphere in the house was filled with energy with the return of Ban Yu-won accompanied by her prospective daughter-in-law.

Maybe it’s because the Ban family is a mixed-blood family that has wandered around the world and mixed the genes of various countries, but they don’t really care whether Ruchel is an alien or has puppy ears.

He is delighted by the fact that a pretty, kind, and even strong girl is developing a deep relationship with Ban Yu-won to the point of following him all the way to Earth.

… … Maybe I just don’t know how to accept Ruchel’s existence, so I don’t dig too deep.

Anyway, that evening the whole family gathered and had a party.

“So, Grandpa, are you completely fine now?”

“No matter what, it’s all thanks to our Won.”

“No, it’s all thanks to the genes I inherited from Grandpa… …!”

Ban Yu-won, who respects and follows his grandfather, was moved to tears when he heard that Ban Ji-won had completely overcome dementia and even awakened to her own powers.

But that’s it, his unique power was very nerve-wracking.

“A word?”

“It’s about putting power into the words you speak. It has a strong magical meaning, but it can also be seen as a supernatural power. Like this, ‘Leave.’”

At Ban Ji-won’s words, the chopsticks in front of his eyes floated into the air.

The same thing could have been done with the concept of floating in the half-circle, but… … if there were no Origin Sword and Yuwon-gong, it wouldn’t have been able to exert its power so quickly.

In other words, the ring supporter’s power could be said to be a specialized power that took part of the ring supporter’s power, similar to the telekinesis series of superpowers.

“Grandpa, you’re amazing! Yuwon also wields similar powers. It seems like it’s a power passed down through the bloodline… … .”

Ruchel, who saw his power, clapped his hands in admiration.

Ban Ji-won smiled happily at her granddaughter-in-law’s cuteness and responded.

“They are similar, but Won-i controls a greater power than I do. There must be a big difference between the power to rule over only what I know and the power to accept and control all things in the universe as mine. What makes Won-i truly great is that he eliminates the distinction between the unknown and the known.”

“Ahem.”

Ban Joo-seok, who also wanted to hear exclamations from his cute and pretty daughter-in-law, cleared his throat and revealed his presence.

Fortunately, Ban Yu-won noticed it and spoke to his father.

“Oh, right. You said Dad had his own powers too?”

“Listen and be amazed, son. Now, Daddy can interpret every language in the world!”

“Oh, I see.”

Actually, I knew it.

I knew from the moment I saw my father coming home through Mandok An.

When Ban Yu-won noticed Ruchel, she smiled brightly and clapped her hands again.

“Father, you are really amazing!”

“Haha, since Yuwon is the father, this is something like… … .”

“Half-humanity was possible from birth.”

“Ugh.”

As Ban Joo-seok was looking pleased with the reaction he had hoped for, Ban Yu-mi quickly struck the trigger next to him.

When his spirits suddenly died down, Kang Eun-young took her husband’s side with a bitter smile.

“But it’s true that it’s a great ability. If your guild asks Dad every time they find something in the dungeon, it’s useless to say that.”

“Who said I’m not great? I’m just a half-breed… … No, that’s okay.”

Ban Yu-mi giggled and continued speaking, but then suddenly closed her mouth.

Ban Yu-won stared blankly at his older sister, then looked away and said.

“But do the original unique powers just burst out like a bargain sale on Earth? My sister has powers too, so my entire family… … except for my mother, everyone awakened.”

“There are no specific statistics, but it is said to be less than 1 in 1 million people.”

“No, then there are only 50 of them in the whole of Korea! Four of them are my family? Isn’t that amazing?!”

“Isn’t this the power of bloodline!”

Ban Ji-won proudly responded to Ban Yu-won, who was being ridiculous and demanding.

Ban Yu-won found himself convinced by those words.

After all, whether it’s a game or a comic, when the ending approaches, it’s a competition based on bloodline!

“The power of bloodline… … .”

There’s something that’s bothering me.

Ban Yu-won hesitated whether to say that or not, but ended up swallowing it.

“Won-ah, tell me the story of the Tower of Babel. Isn’t that the tower you were meant to inherit?”

“You can check most things on the Rebellion Channel… … Oh, but the influence of Earth’s mythology and religion is subtly revealed within the tower. The more you know about Earth’s mythology, the more you can benefit from it in the tower… … That’s right!”

Ban Yu-won suddenly stood up from his seat as he recalled what he had originally planned to do during the vacation.

“So, when I returned to Earth, I was determined to thoroughly analyze all the myths and use them… …!”

“Ah――I see.”

“So that’s what happened.”

The family nodded with a subtle expression on their face at Ban Yu-won’s words.

But it wasn’t the time for him to care about that.

“Didn’t you say that someone who made a contract with the constellations appeared on Earth? We’re screwed. If the constellations figure out Earth’s mythology first and start talking to the tower――”

“That won’t happen, Won-ah.”

“huh?”

Ban Ji-won exchanged glances with the other family members, then got up from his seat and brought an old Bible.

It was a Latin Bible produced over a thousand years ago, and was an object that could be treated as a sacred relic in its own right.

Although Ban Ji-won personally disliked the Bible for depicting the Tower of Babel as a symbol of human desire, he carried this around with him because he couldn’t leave it out when explaining the Tower of Babel.

“This is Grandpa’s favorite item… …. Should I give it to him?”

“Let me unfold it.”

Ban Yu-won, who listened to his grandfather well, obediently opened the Bible.

What caught my eye, coincidentally, was Psalm 137:8.

It was a truly coincidental phrase for Ban Yu-won, who was to become the new owner of the Tower of Babel.

“Babylon, you destroyer! Blessed are you who pays back to us what you have done to us… .”

“Haha, as expected, Yuwon reads.”

“… … What is this?”

Of course, it was natural that he could read.

Because Ban Yu-won could read all languages ​​in the world without any problem, even languages ​​he had never encountered before.

“It’s not Latin… … ?”

“That’s what happened the moment dimensional evolution occurred.”

Ban Ji-won said with a bitter smile.

“The Bible, of course, but also the Qur’an, the Buddhist scriptures, the Vedas… … all the sacred texts on Earth, as well as all the documents related to mythology――including electronic documents, have been converted into a language that no one can read. So there’s no need to worry about the myths being read by suspicious people like the constellations or whatever.”

“That’s it, completely.”

It’s exactly the same change that occurred when the Tower of Babel collapsed.

“Oh, then what about Dad? You said he can interpret all languages.”

“I can’t read.”

“I was bragging that even a half-wit wouldn’t be able to read this.”

“Ugh.”

Ban Yu-mi was whispering to her father again, but that wasn’t what was important right now.

‘I just wanted to rest without thinking about anything… … .’

It looks like I won’t be allowed to rest.

Ban Yu-won sighed and sat down.

Since you’re going to be busy anyway, it’s probably best to enjoy as much as you can while you can.
