Admission is a Waste of Time Chapter 186

Admission is a waste of time (186)

Lesson 37. Let me rest because it’s vacation – 1

[Depth of Honor has become 350. Depth of Charm has become 235.]

Ban Yoo-won achieved the feat of being featured on the 9 o’clock news at the age of twenty.

I felt like I had gained some benefit by growing two concepts that were difficult to raise, but honestly, I wasn’t feeling all that great.

―It has become a hot topic that Ban Yu-won (18), presumed to be the first awakened person on Earth, returned to Earth around 1:00 PM today, Korean time.

―Mr. Ban Yu-won is the grandson of Dr. Ban Ji-won, a former diplomat from our country who took the lead in the establishment and implementation of the New Earth Plan and made great contributions to dealing with dimensional evolution. He says that it was also because of Mr. Ban Yu-won that he was able to establish the New Earth Plan.

– According to the interview, the beginning of the New Earth plan was when the Ban Yu-won Army was summoned to the Union at the top level earlier this year. Reporter Kim Chul-dong?

―Yes. Surprisingly, not many months later… … Ban Yu-mi, Ban Yu-won’s older sister, Olympic gold medalist, and current world number one guild master of Oculus Ruber, got Union Net early access, and Ban Yu-won began to put his plan into action. At this point, it seems like the family history is truly impressive.

―Both siblings are truly proud Koreans. If Korea could monopolize top-level resources or information, the economic value would be enormous.

– Yes. Experts estimate that the value of the Rebellion channel run by the Ban Yu-won Army alone is… … in Korean Won.

I knew that Korean media always talks nonsense, but the things they say as news reports are already at a level that can’t be considered news.

No, why are you converting the value of the Rebellion Channel into Korean Won and making a fuss about it?

“It’s not Korea that has a monopoly, it’s me that has a monopoly… … Oh, what is it!”

“Shut up.”

Ban Yu-won, who was watching the news on the sofa, was muttering in frustration when Ban Yu-mi suddenly appeared and threw herself onto his lap.

“Ban Yu-mi, get rid of that ugly paper.”

“Hey, we have a press conference tomorrow.”

“What, Inma?”

“Ooh, look how firm your thighs are.”

Ban Yu-mi, who had said something shocking, groped up and down his legs and laid her head down in a comfortable position.

The movements were so natural that Ban Yu-won didn’t even think about pushing her away.

“hey.”

“In this house, the pillows talk.”

“How did you live without a pillow while I was away?”

“Shh, stop. Don’t say anything, my baby pillow.”

Ban Yu-won briefly considered poking out his sister’s eyes, but he held back, thinking that even though it might have been different in the past, there was a really high possibility that he would hurt Ban Yu-mi now.

Instead, I decided to question her about the truth of what she had just said.

“What is a press conference?”

“Tomorrow at 2pm at my house. It’s better to suppress it early than to continue suffering from fatigue. I know because I’ve been through it many times.”

He nodded in agreement with his sister’s explanation.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t burdened by something he hadn’t thought of, but just like he had talked to his mother about earlier, he knew very well that it was something he couldn’t just let go of.

That’s probably why Ban Yu-mi held a press conference.

Personally, she was his older sister who was anxious to not be able to harass Ban Yu-won, but she was also the one who would never do anything that would be disadvantageous to him or that would harm him in the future.

“And while you’re on Earth, stay with our guild. That’s best.”

“I guess my older sister will order me around sometimes.”

“I know. Where in the world can you find such a pretty and kind older sister? This is the time to repay the favor. Ah, I wish I had a older sister like this!”

“It must be you, Deungshin-ah.”

Ban Yu-won spoke bluntly and reached out and ruffled her hair.

“Ah! I’m going to kill you, Ban Yu-won!”

“That’s because it’s a vibrating pillow. If you don’t like it, buy a new pillow.”

He shook his sister’s head and got out of the sofa, saying a word.

“Still, thank you for caring, sis.”

“Ugh… Where is my pillow!”

“I’m going to go on a date with my girlfriend.”

“what.”

As she was about to get up and retort, asking what nonsense that was, Ban Yu-mi opened her eyes wide as she noticed Ruchel coming out of the kitchen after finishing washing the dishes.

The timing was incredible.

Otherwise… … .

“Yuwon! You’ve been waiting for me?”

“I was so out of it all today that I couldn’t even talk properly. From now on, the half-moon pillow is yours.”

“A pillow? I’m not sure, but should I go to the bed♡”

“Sorry, I was just joking about the pillow thing. Let’s ‘talk’ between you two.”

“Hehe, I was just joking. There’s still a lot of night left.”

The two headed to the rooftop, having a heated conversation.

As Ban Yu-mi was left alone and blankly staring at his back, her phone vibrated several times.

[Hyun G: What is it like to see Firefox in real life?]

[Hyun G: He’s uglier than me, right??]

[Hyun G: Tell me quickly that the Unity video was red-lit, red-makeup, red-edited!]

In the group chat room where the four executives of Oculus Louver were gathered, her colleague Lee Hyeon-ji was spewing curses at Ruchel.

Ban Yu-mi, who had been reading it quietly, had no intention of lying and answered honestly.

[Me: She’s so damn pretty. She’s even prettier in person. Her skin is snow-white and smooth, her arms and legs are slender, her waist is slim, but her chest is huge and her eyes look like stars.]

[Me: But he’s so kind. He did the cooking and washing the dishes today.]

I was going to add, “I want to kill her, but I can’t,” but I was afraid someone might see me, so I quickly deleted it, and then someone else came along and blew up on her behalf.

[Hyun G: If you get to know those kids, they have dirty personalities, are club thugs, and change guys every other day and stuff, he said on YouTube]

[Gangmyeon: Go to a club even once and tell me about that.]

[Hyun G: You’ve never been there either!!!!!!!]

[Gangmyeon: That’s why I don’t talk nonsense.]

[Yoo Geum-tak: Hyun-ji, you were serious about what you said about Yu-won… …? Even if you look at the unedited version that came out on the news today, it looks like it won’t be a match. I’m going to lose 15 to 0.]

[Hyun G: Bitch]

[Me: I’m starting to feel a little less confident.]

[Gangmyeon: Yumi, are you okay? Want a drink?]

Ban Yu-mi, who was lying on the sofa listlessly and watching the constantly updating chat content, suddenly remembered Ban Yu-won getting up before Ruchel even came out of the kitchen.

It was no coincidence.

He reacted faster and more accurately than Ban Yu-mi, who was confident that he could outperform anyone in terms of intuition.

[Me: But you know, I was lying on Ban Yu-won’s lap.]

[Hyun G: Are you talking about delusions?]

[Me: Lee Hyun-ji, shut up. I thought she couldn’t dodge, but what if she actually didn’t?]

[Yoo Geum-tak: Unnie… I have a lot of time too. Should I go see you now? I want to see your face.]

[Me: That’s normal! That’s not bullshit! This kid read the signs of someone approaching from afar and reacted? But I said I didn’t dodge?]

[Gangmyeon: Ah]

[Gangmyeon: That’s right]

[Gangmyeon: Green Light]

[Hyun G: I thought you were annoying right now]

When the reaction she had hoped for did not come, Ban Yu-mi made a sullen expression and started tapping the screen, but soon sighed and changed the subject.

[Me: Miyeon, come to my house by 2pm tomorrow]

[Gangmyeon: What’s going on?]

[Me: I think it looks good that there is a press conference]

[Gangmyeon: Press conference… … Aha. Is it Yuwon?]

[Me: Yeah, starting tomorrow, Ban Yu-won will be a member of our guild]

[Hyun G: Nice!!!!!!!! I love Yumingming!!!!]

[Me: I’m not saying this because you like it, you crazy bitch]

[Yoo Geum-tak: Unnie, but our guild doesn’t allow men.]

[Me: In our guild, I am the law.]

[Yoo Geum-tak: You’re so cool, unnie♡]

[Hyun G: He’s weird too, seriously]

[Gangmyeon: Yumi will finally get to see her little brother whom she cherishes so much.]

[Me: … … Kang Mi-yeon, you can’t?]

[Gangmyeon: I’ll go in the morning. Can you give me lunch?]

[Me: Kang Mi-yeon?]

* * *

Ban Yu-won, who came up to the rooftop with Ruchel, sat next to Ruchel on the wooden bench his father had made himself.

There was a creaking sound.

“I told you to throw away this trash and buy something good, but Dad really doesn’t listen to me.”

“Phew, now I can call you master. Eight.”

With a proud expression, Ruchel laid her head on his lap, just like Ban Yu-mi had done earlier.

Ban Yu-won chuckled and gently stroked the side of her hair.

“Were you watching?”

“Of course. I was so jealous. When I think about how much you’ve been monopolizing my master’s lap for 18 years, I can’t help but feel envious.”

“Ruchel.”

“Yes, master.”

Ban Yu-won asked, stroking the soft puppy ears perched on her head (the feel of which was almost addictive).

“Is there a reason you claim to be in a subordinate relationship?”

Lucelle’s body froze for a moment.

An ear perks up in his hand.

As Ban Yu-won waited calmly for her answer, Ruchel soon asked in a cautious voice.

“Are you still angry…? Do you hate slaves?”

“No, I’m not angry. I don’t know about slaves, but I don’t hate you.”

After the decisive battle with the Gangrim Body and the day when their relationship was reestablished, I was so out of it that I never had the time to ask why Ruchel acted that way back then.

I thought it might be due to the instinct or impulse of the Suin tribe, but I knew that Ruchel was not a simple-minded person, so I thought that I would like to confirm her feelings with her one day.

And today, before I get too busy with Earth work, I decided to check it out.

“Before I tell you the reason… … there’s something I want to confirm.”

“What is it?”

“Master, can you see my feelings now?”

The first thing I did to solve Ruchel’s problem was to collect emotions, so there’s no way Ruchel wouldn’t know about that.

Ban Yu-won nodded in agreement.

“Yeah. Sorry, I’m a little embarrassed to say everything.”

“I love you, Master.”

“Did you even hear what I just said?”

“But I’m not ashamed at all.”

“Ruchel continued, stretching out both of his hands and holding one of Ban Yu-won’s hands tightly.

“I’ve always thought this since I found out about your abilities. There’s no point in hiding anything from you. With just one look, you can skip the subjective judgment process and see the objective results, so the word ‘faith’ has no meaning to you anymore… … .”

Ban Yu-won stopped when he heard that.

Because Ruchel hit exactly on the thought he had been having ever since he awakened to his power.

To believe someone is to assume some unknown cause and effect by adding some objective judgmental basis and subjective desire.

There is no need to use the word belief for facts that are beyond doubt.

If you fully understand the subject, whether it is a person, an object, or a phenomenon, it is simply objective cognition, and there is no room for subjectivity to intervene.

“If everyone were to reveal everything to the Master without hiding anything, and if the Master were to always be forced to give the right answer, whether the Master wanted it or not, then the Master would not be able to trust anyone. He would abandon his subjectivity and rely only on objectivity.”

If I know what the subject is thinking in front of me, I can perfectly establish my relationship with that subject.

If it was the current Ban Yu-won, who had newly awakened his martial arts skills and whose powers had been further strengthened――even if he was pretending to be a perfect ally and was actually someone who had been his ally until just 5 seconds ago, the moment he changed his mind, he could sense it and strike him down.

That’s what it means to read everything.

Now that you have the ability to perfectly divide the world into your allies and enemies, all you have to do is do it.

There is no room for belief, and there is only a perfect separation that no one can complain about.

“You did the play, right? You realized Dokgo Yeon’s feelings, Mira’s true feelings, Aneri’s passion, Sloti’s strange tricks, your brother’s feelings, and even the fact that your mother was hiding something.”

“……huh.”

I was amazed.

Since awakening his wild heart, Ruchel’s intuition has really improved.

So much so that it’s confusing as to which side has the power.

No――That’s probably because Ruchel is one of his subordinates.

“I don’t like that.”

Lucelle continued, pouting.

“I know that your power is great――but it’s horrible to think that you judge and treat me based solely on that without any emotion.”

“No, Lucelle. I want you――.”

“I know, but I still don’t like it.”

Ruchel continued, boldly cutting off Ban Yoo-won’s rebuttal.

“I hate the mere possibility of that happening. Don’t look down on the girl you love.”

“Is this the one I should be sorry about now?”

“So I chose subordination again.”

huh?

Why does it happen like that?

Ban Yu-won blinked, not understanding at once, and Ruchel spoke strongly, adding strength to the hand she was holding onto Ban Yu-won.

“Subordination means that everything about me belongs to you. Body, mind, and soul. I cannot betray you. I will be with you forever.”

“Yeah… … That’s right.”

“So, Master, you can always trust me without having to judge me by my power. Without having to see me with your ‘eyes’… … You can trust and rely on me just by the fact that you are connected to me.”

“… … .”

“That’s it. That’s it.”

Silence came when Ruchel, who had been speaking like a machine gun, closed his mouth.

Although she had come a long way, Ban Yu-won was finally able to understand what she was trying to say.

Because I understood――I thought she was stupid.

“Are you stupid?”

“I thought about it a lot, even though I was like this… … .”

“I was worried too much from the start.”

“Ouch.”

Ban Yu-won made a fist with the hand that had been stroking Lucelle’s head and pressed it against her forehead.

Even though Ruchel, who was much higher leveled than Ban Yu-won, was not actually sick and Ban Yu-won himself knew this fact, Ruchel grimaced as if he was sick and Ban Yu-won made a mischievous expression as if he was really punishing him.

Without relying on authority, without checking the leash she had forced into his hands.

In fact, this was enough.

“I’m not a machine, Ruchel. Not only is my power not perfect, but even if I were given perfect information, if I could judge it as is, I would already be a god or something similar. What we’re doing right now is nonsense.”

“but…….”

“Still, Ruchel.”

His hand gently stroked Lucelle’s forehead.

“Just like how we confirm our affection for each other through this kind of skinship.”

And he bowed his head and kissed the forehead of his beloved sl*ve.

“I know how much you think of me, so let’s just say that.”

“then…….”

Ruchel carefully raised herself up and leaned against him as she spoke.

“Now let’s go to bed♡”

“The ending is so disappointing… … .”
