Admission is a waste of time (195)
Lesson 38. Ban Yu-won’s words come true – 5
The next day, the atmosphere inside the vehicle heading to the dungeon was extremely uncomfortable.
This was because the members of Oculus Louver, including Ban Yumi, were openly wary of the Phoenix Knights――more precisely, their leader, Captain Keira.
Judging by the way they looked back and forth between Keira and Ban Yu-won, it seemed like this damned sister had told him everything about what he did on the school trip two years ago.
Although she probably wouldn’t have mentioned such private information, did she really know that the woman Ban Yoo-won had seduced two years ago would show up as the number one ranked woman in the UK?
While he was in a state of confusion, his group questioned him and he must have confessed everything without even having a chance to hide it.
“Ban Yumi, you really are.”
“Oh, you didn’t say anything?”
His older sister, who was stabbed by Ban Yu-won’s sharp gaze, made a prickly expression and rarely pretended to be weak.
Regardless of what others said, Keira, who pretended not to know Korean yesterday and tried to tease the group, was in a good mood today, so much so that she greeted them in Korean first as soon as they met.
She was now approaching Ruchel, pretending to know him, and asking for his autograph.
“Thank you for the autograph! Lucille is even prettier in person!”
“I am always grateful for your support.”
Only when you love not only your favorite but all members of Rebellion can you call yourself a true fan.
Even Ruchel, who was somewhat wary of her at first, smiled brightly and signed her autograph when she revealed her donation details and platinum card.
“Wow, this guy is no joke. He immediately brought Ruchel into the fight!”
“No, but Ruchel’s thoughts are more that way. So is that it? Is it okay if she’s a concubine?”
“As expected, Western kids have shallow minds… … .”
“You apologize to the West immediately.”
Keira said that she was embarrassed to have a deep relationship with Ban Yu-won as a fan, but it would also be a lie if she said that she had no feelings for him.
They had met by chance two years ago, and had met again like this… … and although Keira herself did not know it, there was actually another point of contact (Ban Yu-mi) between the two, so even Ban Yu-won could not help but feel a connection with her.
“Hahaha, I’m just a fan. It was quite impactful when we first met though――.”
“… … Shotacon.”
“No way?!”
“Look at Ban Yumi using her ultimate skill!”
“Not a suicide bomber?”
However, the only people who reveal their true feelings like that are the ones who are worthless and love-deprived, like the members of Oculus Louver.
Since Keira was asking a big favor from Ban Yu-won, she didn’t reveal her feelings, and Ban Yu-won would have also passed it by without noticing if it weren’t for his eyes.
“Of course, I think it would be okay to stay for one night… … Yuwon, what do you think? After we finish clearing the dungeon, how about we go to the store we couldn’t go to last time, okay?”
“Ha, one night.”
The members of Oculus Louver froze as if they had been hit by a group petrification spell.
As Lucelle narrowed her eyes and looked at him, Keira suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, I’m just kidding! I just thought you guys thought I was too frivolous, so I adjusted to you for a bit. After all, I’m ranked number one in the UK, so I wouldn’t go around causing trouble lightly.”
“A joke… … is that a joke?!”
“Oh, Miyeon unnie is broken too.”
Ban Yu-won saw that even Kang Mi-yeon, the most mature of the group, was overwhelmed by Keira, and he felt anxious that they would probably grow old and die as virgins for the rest of their lives.
Why did you gather these kids together and create Geumnam’s Guild? Did you carry out the water ghost operation because you couldn’t die alone as an old maid?
“Haha, now that you’ve relaxed, let’s talk about dungeons.”
“I feel a sense of tension that wasn’t there before!”
“Dungeon? Is there anything you want to talk about? There probably won’t be any inside information anyway.”
“I want to hear about the dungeon that Oculus Louver entered. Since it’s a G-rank dungeon.”
“That’s true.”
There were more than one G-rank dungeon in England, but this time, the one that Oculus Louver had decided to take down was the one located in the heart of London, which had the highest threat level.
“The ones in Seoul are the same, and they always show up in places where people are crowded.”
“Some are not, but most are.”
“The dungeon we went into… … How was it? I remember Yujina and I having a really hard time.”
“Don’t lie, Sister. We didn’t even have a chance to come forward.”
While the group chatted, Ban Yu-won was lost in a strange sentiment as he looked out the window of the car at the view of the Thames River, remembering the London he had visited during his high school days.
Back then, we just sat around on the bus with friends, chatted about trivial things, and took commemorative photos here and there, but things have changed so much in just two years.
Even though I want to meet my friends from back then, I don’t think I can meet them with a pure heart right now, so I just feel regretful…
“By the way, this time, can’t we solve it on our own without Yuwon’s help?”
“I think I can do the mob, but I’m not sure about the boss. Yumingming, can you do it?”
“Huh? Well, from the beginning, I was going all out――.”
“Sister.”
Ban Yu-won naturally cut her off.
Then he tapped the seat next to him and spoke briefly.
“Come and see.”
“Do you want to fall behind?”
“Come.”
“Oh, Yuwon is the patriarch.”
“?”
As soon as his older sister sat down next to him with a serial killer-like expression, Ban Yu-won activated the power by breathing life into the word [Barrier] that he had written on the sheet in advance.
His ability to manipulate language has developed so much that he can now instantly assign sub-concepts such as soundproofing, blocking, and disruption to a single barrier without having to write out long letters.
The effect is powerful, but it is a very light solution to the drawback of language magic, which requires you to move your hand every time to write the exact meaning.
“Hey, you’re going too far these days. Go and see your sister who’s as beautiful as the sky… .”
“Sister, have you heard anything from Mom?”
Ban Yu-mi had made up her mind that it was time to solidify her position as an older sister once again, but when she heard her younger brother’s serious voice, she forgot her anger and just stared at him blankly.

“Oh, Mom?”
“About the unique powers that my older sister possesses.”
“You’re not trying to say anything weird, are you? Isn’t this a dangerous power? It’s completely mine?”
It seemed like her mother had warned her older sister.
However, judging from the way she spoke, it seemed like she couldn’t be honest and was taking a roundabout approach… … which was making things more difficult.
“I know this because it is my power. This is a power that is qualitatively different from the power that the famous constellations and such give these days. It is a power that comes entirely from within me. So what’s the danger?”
“Yes, that’s your power. But, sister. There’s no guarantee that someone else can’t take what’s yours.”
“……what?”
Ban Yu-won felt it necessary to clearly convey to his sister the dangers of her powers, even if it meant distorting the facts somewhat.
“You know I’ve had a lot of interactions with other dimensions.”
“I also know that he goes around seducing one woman in each dimension.”
“Yeah, well, let’s say that’s the case.”
She was angry at Ban Yoo-won for not denying her words, and when she tried to ask him more questions, he said with an even more stern expression.
“There are people in the world with all sorts of powers. Just look at my power right now. In particular, those who control fire are after my power.”
“… … Even so, it’s a different dimension. No, are you saying it’s on Earth?”
“Among the people moving with us today, is there anyone who handles fireworks?”
Ban Yu-mi opened her eyes wide, finally realizing what Ban Yu-won was trying to say.
Surprisingly, she was happy now.
“Is Keira McBride the enemy?”
“I don’t think I want to, but I am.”
“Yeah… … . It’s the enemy. How did you find out?”
“… …Why do you think you like it?”
Ban Yu-won, who instantly read the concept of all the emotions welling up inside her, asked tremblingly.
Surely you’re not happy that you can now legally beat up Keira, who you didn’t like before?
“I’m saying this just in case. Keira doesn’t even know that the person she’s looking for is her older sister. Don’t think of antagonizing her for no reason.”
“How are you going to survive in this difficult world if you are so weak-hearted?”
“So you’re trying to kill me?”
Ban Yu-mi was taken aback by Ban Yu-won’s sharp remark.
He snorted.
Who on earth is weak-hearted?
“If you can’t kill them, don’t attack them carelessly. If you attack, kill them for sure.”
“Then what should we do?”
“Don’t use it.”
Ban Yu-won declared firmly.
“Hold on. You’re strong enough even without powers, Sister.”
“No matter what, I can’t stand it for long.”
I know.
If you had a patient personality, you wouldn’t be my enemy.
“You still have to endure it. Even if you can’t endure it… … Just endure it a little longer.”
“then?”
“When I get stronger, I’ll catch all the people who bully my sister and beat them up.”
“……swimming.”
It probably won’t take that long.
Ban Yu-won was now clearly aware of his position, and he also knew roughly how powerful those he was fighting were.
But more than that, he also knows very well that his growth is ridiculously fast.
“So just endure it for about 3 years. Even without power, I’m already ranked number 1.”
Of course, if Keira were to reveal her true power, she would become the number one ranked person with an overwhelming level that cannot be compared to others, but she is not an Earthling in the first place… … .
… … No, isn’t it the same for you, my sister, that you’re not an Earthling?
“What? Who are you talking about? How can you be so arrogant, even though you’re my little brother… .”
“Where did you learn such weak-sounding lines?”
“Be quiet.”
Ban Yu-mi, who was furious at Ban Yu-won’s one-sided pressure, hit him on the head with a chestnut, but he did not fight back and just took it.
“Half-Yumi.”
“Why, what? Hit me? Come on, this time for sure… … .”
“Just in case.”
Ban Yu-won asked while watching his older sister shadowboxing on the spot, making a hissing sound like wind cutting through her body.
“If you are a princess of some country.”
“Pfft.”
“Oh, really dirty.”
Ban Yu-mi couldn’t hold back and burst out in laughter at the unimaginable ‘what if’.
Ban Yu-mi yelled at Ban Yu-won, who was wiping his face and frowning.
“I’m twenty-two years old! Come to your senses, Ban Yu-won!”
“No, listen. You were a prince from some country, but you were driven out by a rebellion at a young age, so you disguised yourself as a commoner and came into our house as an adopted daughter.”
“Adopted daughter… … .”
Ban Yu-mi, who had no intention of listening to whatever nonsense he was talking about, stopped moving as if one word in particular caught her attention.
“Then what will you do? Will you be satisfied and live in my house? Or… … will you take back the throne?”
This is a very important issue.
Ban Yu-won can’t stand being treated badly, but if it happens to his family, isn’t it the same as if it happened to him?
It’s something that involves my mother and older sister.
Depending on what the two of them think, his future actions could change.
Whether or not she knew his determination, Ban Yu-mi thought about something and asked.
“What would it be like if you lived in my house?”
“Whatever happens, I just live.”
“… … As your older sister?”
This time it was Ban Yu-won’s turn to be speechless.
I didn’t mean to ask that.
For a moment, he hesitated, his breath caught in his throat, but soon he spoke honestly about his thoughts.
“Whether you live like this or seek the throne, you will always be my older sister. Where do you go and become someone else?”
“But in reality, it’s a man.”
“Why are you suddenly making me feel bad? We’ve been living in the same house for 20 years, so what’s wrong with you?”
“If you say so, you crazy bastard!”
If that’s not the case, then that’s the problem… … !
Although he had guessed her true intentions to some extent, Ban Yu-won gritted his teeth and pretended not to know as he continued to speak.
“Do you hate me that much? Oh, so are you going to be king or not?”
“Of course I should.”
Ban Yu-mi declared without even thinking about it.
“Ever since I was little, my dream has always been to eat well and do whatever I want.”
“I guess I’ve been getting bullied since I was little.”
“Half-circle.”
“what.”
Ban Yu-mi said with sincerity and no pretense.
“You just asked me if I hated you.”
“You don’t have to answer. I already know.”
“No, you don’t know.”
She snorted, placed her hands on his shoulders, and spoke with a serious expression.
“I really f*cking hate it.”
“just…….”
Normally, I would have snapped back and said the same thing.
Since he could clearly see Ban Yu-mi’s feelings, he decided not to say anything.
When he didn’t respond strongly, Ban Yu-mi seemed scared and stuck out her lips as she changed the subject.
“I’ll just endure it for the next three years.”
“Yes, for the next three years.”
Meanwhile, the car arrived at the dungeon.
The executives of Oculus Louver looked at the two with extremely tense expressions, wondering if they had misunderstood something when they saw the two emerging from the barrier, but they didn’t want to bother clearing up the misunderstanding, so they decided to leave it alone.
