Admission is a waste of time (192)

Lesson 38. Ban Yu-won’s words come true – 2

It was a half-wit that intuitively connected the two, but immediately shook his head reflexively.

“No, I don’t think so.”

Prominence, or the constellation that supports it, is wandering in search of a specific, unique power.

The ‘enemy’ that Ketra mentioned is the ones who are working with Crimson Spear and plotting things on a dimensional level…

Logically speaking, the only thing these people have in common is that they are from a teenage family.

But Ban Yu-won was terribly concerned about that one thing in common.

“Release, what do you think?”

[In the first place, there aren’t that many children from teenage families currently attending the academy, right?]

“That too.”

Excluding Ortima, a first-year student, the only ones who could be clearly called ‘successors’ were the second-year students of the Prominence family.

Moreover, it may sound funny to say this, but Ban Yu-won trusted his intuition, and it was almost never wrong.

[Shall we delve deeper?]

Lilith was now dressed in a suit that fit her small body perfectly, had even made herself a pair of fancy glasses, and was imitating Secretary Min-wan.

Ban Yu-won sighed softly and muttered to himself, “I think I’ll get along with the president,” before taking off the model glasses Lilith was wearing and picking them up.

[oh!]

“I don’t really like glasses.”

[Aha, I’ll remember that!]

“And there seems to be a limit to the information we can obtain from Earth. At the very least, it would certainly be impossible to delve deeply into the Prominence family. So… … .”

Are the followers of the Eternal One searching across all dimensions, or are they specifically looking for Nuna’s power on Earth?

If the latter, how did you specify the Earth?

Whether what he or she has for his or her older sister is a simple interest, or a feeling that leans toward favor or hatred.

I asked you to just make sure of this much.

“――And about the important prominence.”

I held the mirror and thought about it for a moment.

Who could help him with information?

The first thing that comes to mind is Mira, but Mira will be busy coordinating with the fairies of many dimensions and building alliances throughout this vacation, so let’s skip that.

Yumina… … I heard that the successor to the Prominence family is attending the academy as a student, so I would have information, but I was reluctant to contact her because I thought it would lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

‘In times like this, a mercenary without any trouble is a good choice.’

If they were dimensional mercenaries, they would know more about the famous teenage families in the universe than most people, and especially since Prominence was suspected to be connected to the dimensional pirate group Crimson Spear, they might be able to dig in there and find out something.

[Aneri – That’s perfect timing!]

Aneri Dedota, who received his contact, replied in just 5 seconds.

The performance of UnionNet, which connects quickly across dimensions, is impressive, but Aneri’s response speed was also unusual.

[Aneri – The new recruit we recently received is a pirate! Crimson Spear!]

[Me – Really?]

[Aneri – I almost overlooked it because she changed her face and completely cleaned up her identity… … But no one could have guessed that the last places she was active as Crimson Spear would overlap. She’s using her weakness to her advantage.]

A pirate from Crimson Spear whose activities overlap with Aneri’s, could he be Ketra’s former comrade?

As an information source, isn’t it beyond words?

[Aneri – But I never thought that the Prominence would be the tenth family connected to the Crimson Spear.]

[Me – I’m still just guessing.]

[Aneri – If that’s what you’re guessing, Yuwon, then you’re right. Even if it’s wrong, I’ll make it right!]

Maybe I chose the wrong person for the job.

[Me – Can I ask the newbie to find out for sure?]

[Aneri – There’s probably a gold medal hanging.]

If there had been no prohibition, Ketra would not have explained only the project and left out the explanation about Prominence.

[Aneri – But my job as a spy is to somehow resolve that and get information. Could you give me just one week?]

[Me – It’s not urgent, so it’s okay. I’ll pay you a generous amount for the information.]

[Aneri – I’ll give you a discount since it’s thanks to you that I can exploit the weaknesses of new recruits.]

Whether it was giving special discounts or something else, you could definitely feel her professionalism in the part where she was getting paid.

When Ban Yoo-won agreed, she seemed to hesitate for a moment and then added this message.

[Aneri – Still, the Ten Clans are powerful enemies. Their status hasn’t changed in thousands of years, do you know what I mean?]

[I – I’m not planning on doing anything right now. … … Unless those guys attack first.]

[Aneri – If we really do end up fighting them, then we may have to form an alliance. At least pick one of the ten clans whose interests do not conflict with ours.]

It is not known when Aneri began to be linked with the words Ban-yu-won and Uri, but he ended his conversation with her by saying that he would think about it for a while.

… … Surely not all the Rebellion fan club members are like this?

The declaration made by the Ban Yu-won siblings after clearing the G-rank dungeon was extremely effective, and not only did the website get flooded with applications to the point of crashing, but even though they had firmly declared that they would not talk about it through the government, they received annoying calls from various organizations.

“I guess the first place would be the United States, right?”

The next day, while having lunch with the executives of Oculus Louver, Ban Yu-mi said this while poking at the japchae made by Ruchel with her chopsticks as if she was treating her parents’ enemy.

But he had no choice but to admit that it was delicious, so he slurped it down. The one who taught Ruchel how to make japchae was her mother, Kang Eun-young.

Anyway, Kang Mi-yeon, who was checking the homepage on her tablet and updating it in real time, shrugged her shoulders and bit the tip of the touch pen.

“We don’t even know that yet. China sent us an offer, but it was only this much as a down payment… … .”

“Ugh, I hate China no matter how much money they give me! At the last Asian Games, the Chinese athletes were the most annoying――.”

Lee Hyun-ji checked the tablet screen that Kang Mi-yeon had handed her while complaining, and then her expression changed and she said.

“Let’s go to China right now. Quickly, before they tell us to step down.”

I guess it was just too much money to be upset about.

“I like the local older sister because she is really innocent.”

“Huh, huh? Hehe, really?”

“How pure must one be for one not to even know that one is being cursed at… … .”

Kang Mi-yeon shakes her head as she looks at her friend who is in a bad mood.

“It’s not a matter of money to begin with, Sister. This is an opportunity to establish a clear hierarchy and discipline between countries.”

“Stop being a shill and look at this.”

“So no matter how much money there is―― Ugh! Let’s go to China first!”

Although Yujina was always teasing and cursing at Hyunji, she was fundamentally similar to her.

But Ban Yu-mi shook her head with an unwavering expression even after checking the amount.

“China is not allowed.”

“Even if I give you money like this?”

“No way, just no!”

Ban Yu-won quietly watched them play well together even when left alone, and then suddenly something came to his mind and he asked.

“Our guild and others don’t open promotional channels on Union Net? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.”

“Oh, that’s something that anyone who watches the channel you run has thought about at least once.”

Kang Mi-yeon shrugged her shoulders and explained.

“There are two problems. First, even if you make money on Union Net, there is no way to bring it back to Earth. Even if you were to open a channel, it would be useless.”

“Yes? If you just register an account, Ronia will be settled and deposited every month―― Aha.”

Ban Yu-won realized this without responding.

The account that Ronia deposits into is the one he opened at Union.

Union Net asked me to register an account to which profits would be settled, so I registered without thinking, but when I thought about it, there was no way I would be able to receive Ronia settlement in any dimension.

It seemed that simply because there were a large number of people who could access Union Net, they would not treat Ronia as such.

“Then I guess we don’t need to hear the second reason. No, actually, this is the first.”

“As expected, you’re smart. That’s right, it was impossible to open a channel in the first place.”

indeed.

Perhaps this was a similar measure to the extinction of all the myths on Earth, Ban Yu-won thought.

“Anyway, that’s fortunate.”

“Because there is no competition?”

“Yes? Oh, yes. That’s right. The aggro power of Earthlings is incredible.”

Ban Yu-won muttered as he thought, but then he let out a sigh and hastily answered the question that came from Lee Hyeon-ji.

Then he picked up his chopsticks and ate the japchae――.

“Yuwon, ah~.”

Without even having time to eat, Ruchel, who had skillfully rolled up japchae instead of pasta, smiled happily and brought it to his mouth.

Her smile did not allow for any objection, so Ban Yu-won had to open his mouth obediently this time as well.

Could it be that Ruchel is doing this not simply out of a desire to serve him, but also on purpose to show off their relationship to others?

“Ah~.”

“Ugh… … .”

“and.”

“… … .”

Ban Yu-won succeeded in uncovering the principles of her actions after deep thought, confirming the emotional concepts such as ‘joy’, ‘desire’, and ‘sense of superiority’ that she expressed, but there was no way to escape the situation where the women sitting around the same table were shocked, staring, or glaring.

* * *

The burden of the G-rank dungeon was much heavier and more terrifying than Ban Yu-won had imagined.

Without any of the threats or brawls that were initially expected, most countries requested support, expressing their intention to unconditionally accept whatever Oculus Louver――or rather, Ban Yuan―wanted.

In this case, we had no choice but to decide based on what the other party could offer and the order of application, and as a result, the country chosen was none other than the United Kingdom.

“Hey, Ban Yumi.”

Ban Yu-won, who had left the selection process up to his older sister, called her in a cold voice when he found out at the airport that the destination was England.

“Why, Ban Yu-won.”

However, for some reason, Ban Yu-mi was smiling brightly in response to such a call from Ban Yu-won.

That smile is so annoying.

If it weren’t for the fact that everyone in the airport was watching them in real time, I would have just pulled on those plump balls.

“There must have been several other countries with the same conditions!”

“I chose it based on my personal preference.”

How dare you say something like that, knowing the trauma that Ban Yoo-won has in England.

He was trembling, but Kang Mi-yeon, on the other hand, was tilting her head.

“Yumi, you like England? Weren’t you against it?”

“That’s right, Yumi, you’ve really hated England for years now. Did you choose them by favorability level in order of your dislikes? Are you trying to destroy the England ace party in the dungeon?”

“Your sister hates England?”

This is the first time I’ve heard that story.

But I didn’t have a chance to hear more.

This is because Ban Yu-mi oppressed the members with a force similar to that of a murderous savage.

“Everyone stop chattering and follow me.”

“By the way, which plane are you taking?”

“Ours.”

I thought it was a joke, but there really was a light aircraft waiting for them at the airport with “Oculus Louver” written in large, fancy cursive letters on the side.

“The guild is doing well.”

“When I first failed to clear an F-rank dungeon in America and was flooded with people, I gave this to them as a gift, telling them to hurry up and ride it.”

“Isn’t it you, my sister, who lives life as you please, not me?”

Ban Yu-won, who didn’t like the look of his older sister’s smug expression in front of the light aircraft, thought about revealing the true nature of Lilith, who was now acting like a pretty doll, and completely destroying her spirit, but he held back because he thought it would be annoying if she asked to be taken to another dimension.

“We will do our best to ensure your flight is safe and comfortable.”

“Mr. Captain! Please take care of me today! And do you have any alcohol?”

“Of course I prepared.”

Perhaps she had flown this plane many times in the past, Ban Yu-won was sure of it as he watched Lee Hyun-ji, who had exchanged greetings with the captain, immediately look for a drink.

So that’s why this girl is not popular even though she’s pretty.

I turned my head to find another hope, but Yujina was holding a glass, even though it was obvious.

“But what kind of glass are you carrying around?”

“Ah, our guild has a rule that we check for poison wherever we go and then eat with the utensils we bring. At first, when things were going well, it was hard because people kept trying to trick us.”

“That’s why the guild doesn’t accept men at all.”

“Even at that point, you didn’t give up drinking… … .”

Ban Yu-won sighed, and before he knew it, Lee Hyeon-ji took out a glass from her bosom and handed it to Ban Yu-won.

“Have a drink, will you?”

“Right, take that glass and tell me why you two hate England.”

Ban Yu-mi was quietly angry.

But Ban Yu-won just laughed in vain.

“It’s really nothing.”

“So what is it?”

“No, just.”

The next moment, at the words that Ban Yu-won uttered.

“I went on a school trip to England.”

“Math Trip!”

For some reason, it was none other than Ruchel who suddenly sat up!

“I can’t lose, absolutely not!”

“What, why is Ruchel like this again?!”

“… … Does this kid know?”

She remembered vividly what the previous Ban Yoo-won had said!
