Admission is a waste of time (205)
Lesson 40. No Alien Allowed – 5
“Oh my, this is surprising!”
Kang Eun-young screamed in surprise when she suddenly saw her daughter appearing before her eyes.
But somewhere, it seemed like a relief.
“Why are you here? There were a lot of strange things appearing in the sky, and it’s already chaos here and there… …! Yes, Yuwon sent you! What a good son, you keep your promise to your mom so perfectly.”
Meanwhile, Ban Yu-mi, who had been forced to return to Korea by her younger brother Ban Yu-won’s teleportation ability, squirmed and furrowed her eyebrows as she watched her mother, who had a relieved expression on her face, recalling her promise to her son.
“What promise did you make with Ban Yu-won? A promise related to me?”
“uh?”
“Ban Yu-won said that my mom and I are in danger.”
Ban Yu-mi was in a very bad mood right now.
He didn’t like the fact that his younger brother knew a lot of things he didn’t and was playing over his head, and he was furious that he was powerless and had to rely on his younger brother to protect him.
“Yumiya.”
“Ban Yu-won clearly said that, right? But right now, the entire Earth is in danger. Mom, tell me. Why are you and I in danger? Why does he know, but I don’t?”
But what annoys me the most is that I am secretly excited even in the midst of all this.
Even though she knew it wasn’t right… …her delusion that she had secretly dreamed of since childhood.
Yes, the anticipation that the vulgar and dirty fantasy that could not be expressed in cute words like wish or imagination might become reality was growing.
She couldn’t accept herself like that.
“Yuwon, saying something like that… …?”
Kang Eun-young made a pitiful expression for a moment at her words, but soon her face hardened as if she had changed and she began to push her daughter’s back.
“We’ll talk later. For now, let’s go to the shelter with Mom and Dad. Hurry up!”
“Mom, please. I’m the leader of the world’s best fighting guild. Why am I going into a shelter?”
“But you have to hide now!”
“So why?”
Now, Ban Yu-mi’s voice was filled with conviction rather than doubt.
In fact, she had also thought it was strange from before.
Since the world changed, my mother has been acting suspicious more often.
There are probably a few people who can’t adapt to the changing world, but my mother’s problem was different.
It was frustrating that she seemed to have worries and secrets that she didn’t share with her family, but since all her family members at home were dull and blunt men, she didn’t realize that Kang Eun-young was strange.
Time will tell, it will all work out, I thought, and at least I’ll tell my daughter. As I let this go, months passed by.
In the end, this issue came up before I could hear the circumstances from her mouth.
“Daughter, there’s no time to argue right now. Let’s go to the shelter your father has prepared and talk.”
“… …Mom, do you know where those guys invading Earth right now came from?”
“Ugh… … !”
But my younger brother was different.
Her younger brother, who had grown up so much in less than half a year, had eyes that seemed to see right through people.
Although she was acting calmly and pretending not to know anything, Ban Yu-mi could vaguely sense that her younger sister was suffering.
And maybe the reason is… … .
“mom.”
“… … Okay, I’ll tell you.”
Since it was obvious that Ban Yu-mi had noticed that it was Kang Eun-young, she eventually nodded with a deep sigh.
The son was talking to himself and he was trying to keep it a secret even though he was aware of something.
The fact that such a son told Ban Yu-mi directly meant that he could no longer hide the truth… … Looking at the current situation, it seemed like he had reached his limit.
“But for now, you have to hide. I’ll tell you everything once this is over, okay? Listen to Mom.”
“Yeah. Honestly, even if we hide, it won’t be meaningful if Ban Yu-won gets raided.”
“Don’t say such nonsense!”
Even though it was called a shelter, it was already set up near the house, so there was no need to move far.
But, as Ban Yu-mi said, there was no point in the two of them hiding, because―― apart from the battle Ban Yu-won was waging in space, there was an assassin who had attacked them.
Maybe it would have been better not to have joined since I didn’t even get to be a vice-chairman.
“――It’s dangerous!”
Kang Eun-young, who was leaving the mansion and heading to the basement with her daughter, turned around at one point and held out her arm.
Paaang! Her arm glowed red as she blocked the sword flying towards her daughter’s neck.
It was a unique aura that the knights of the Prominence family handled.
“mom?!”
“Follower of the eon!”
The blade was burning with flames, and although there were no particular injuries from it, Kang Eun-young’s face turned pale in an instant and she blurted out the name of a constellation in a voice that seemed incredulous.
“Tch!”
“how……?”
The attacker hurriedly retreated in case he was attacked in return, but Kang Eun-young was in no mood to do so.
“It wouldn’t have been possible for someone from another dimension to come in so easily. Could it be that you created a contractor on Earth?”
“……that’s right.”
The person who answered Kang Eun-young’s shocked voice was not the person whose attack she had blocked, but someone else.
About five or six people, including that person, with long red hair that was clearly not their natural hair, appeared and surrounded the two people.
This area is the private property of the Ban family, but it is not unusual for someone to commit a life-threatening attack, so illegal trespassing is nothing new.
The biggest thing they had in common, aside from the fact that most of them were Korean, was that they were all contract holders of the Eternal Follower.
“You idiot, there’s no way you can handle tens of thousands of followers at your current level!”
“That’s our concern, ma’am.”
“Isn’t the problem that you can handle us right now?”

Not only Ban Yu-mi, but also Kang Eun-young are famous people with abilities that we have seen on TV several times, but even so, they are barely able to keep up with the average of Oculus Louver.
There is no way such people can be properly selected by the constellation.
Their contract with the constellations is never proper!
As Kang Eun-young’s eyes sank as she guessed their future and the true purpose of the constellation, one of them spoke with a somewhat stung expression as if making an excuse, as if he had misunderstood something.
“They said that if I cut off Empress Ban Yumi’s head, I would be given greater power, so I couldn’t do it without risking my life. I’m sorry.”
“Huh? Me?”
It was absurd and infuriating that her mother had reacted and blocked an attack that she had not been able to react to, but now that a group of crazy people were talking as if their lives were in their hands, Ban Yu-mi was so shocked that she couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Those beggars, you think I’m easy just because you made a contract with the constellation and gained a little bit of power――!”
Ban Yu-mi reached out her hand without hesitation.
The first thing the red flame that shot straight out of her hand targeted was the man who had attacked her and her mother and then shamelessly stepped back.
The man laughed as he watched the stream of fire move according to her will as if it were a real thing.
“I see, that’s what I’m talking about. After seeing whose ability I’m handling―― Kkaaaaaaah!”
――Crack.
A jet of fire pierced the man’s abdomen with an eerie sound, as if a beast were tearing the neck of its prey.
The flames spread throughout the man’s body in an instant, engulfing him completely, just a few seconds later.
There was nothing left where he had been.
The flames were hot enough to freeze the attackers.
“What is that monster?”
“If I had this power, wouldn’t I be able to stop the Empress’s flames?”
“Damn, I didn’t think it would be easy!”
It was unclear whether the power granted by the constellation was insignificant or whether the power awakened by Ban Yumi was great, but at the very least, it was clear that she would not be pushed around by the hastily assembled contractors of the followers of Eternal Calamity.
The contractors of the followers of the ten thousand years belatedly realized the truth that they should not hastily sign a contract no matter how advantageous it may seem, and they hesitated and stepped back.
“Ugh, run away!”
“But the terms of the contract with the constellation… …!”
“You are all dead.”
Ban Yu-mi was not a good person enough to spare those who invaded her private land and attempted to take her and her family’s lives, and now she began to oppress them by forming red flames into swords and holding them in both hands.
“Ban Yu-mi, I told you not to use your powers!”
However, as she watched her daughter’s great performance, Kang Eun-young’s face gradually became paler.
What she was worried about wasn’t the weak contractors from the start.
“I’m sorry. But it’s already too late, Mom.”
[Yeah, it’s already too late.]
One of the attackers suddenly stepped forward and confirmed Ban Yumi’s words.
His hair, which had suddenly turned red, was burning like flames.
It looks like it has been transformed into a spirit of fire.
Soon, Ban Yu-mi was overwhelmed by the sight of the bastard’s pupils and then his body being naturally engulfed in flames, and held her breath.
[Because I already smelled you.]
Another person steps forward and adds:
Why does it sound like the same voice even though it’s clearly someone else speaking?
That’s probably because all the raiders are turning into fire spirits.
[I smelled your scent on my paper, on your man. I smelled it for sure, before that traitorous bitch got away from me.]
Four men?
Are you talking about the half-circle?
Even in the midst of all this, Ban Yu-mi is getting sick of herself for catching that word and blushing.
[Now that I know that, there’s nothing more to hesitate about.]
[It’s been a long wait. Now, it’s time to return to where you belong.]
[Close your eyes and come into my arms.]
The contract holders of the constellation have suddenly transformed into completely identical appearances.
No, it is the trace left behind by humans who met a miserable end because they desired excessive power.
It would be easy to know just by looking at Union Net that you shouldn’t make a contract that doesn’t fit your means, but in reality, it’s rare for a constellation to make a contract offer to a human, so sometimes foolish people make the mistake.
Being chosen by a constellation means proving that you are worthy.
But most constellations never suffer losses, except when dealing with a very small number of humans.
[Come to me.]
[The contract made with Prominence, you who inherit the bloodline, must carry it out.]
And in return for their mistake, they were used up and thrown away like disposable batteries.
Everything that had made up the individual was consumed by the fires of the constellation, and all that remained was the pure will of the constellation.
The purpose of the constellation is only one.
It is descending right here.
[[[[Princess of Prominence, become one with me.]]]]
“… … !”
Before their eyes, the fire spirits merged into one, swelling up their bodies and eventually becoming a giant flame giant, looking down at Ban Yu-mi and Kang Eun-young.
Because the materials were so trivial, several people had to be expended――but once the follower of the ten thousand years had succeeded in descending, the momentum he gave off was too strong for Ban Yu-mi, who had not yet fully awakened her abilities.
“Ah, ahh… … .”
“Yumi, leave this place with your mom and run away.”
Kang Eun-young took another step forward.
It may be possible to prevent the constellation from descending, but since it has already descended, it is best to give up the idea of being able to escape before all the power contained in its body is consumed.
So someone has to stop it.
“Run away and hide. If you ask your father, no, Yuwon, he’ll give you a place to hide. Even though you’re my son, you’re really good… … .”
“Where the hell do you want me to hide?!”
“Another dimension.”
[Haha. I finally found it, and now you’re running away from my sight? This is absolutely unacceptable.]
The constellation’s descendant, who heard the mother and daughter’s conversation, smiled vulgarly and raised his burning hand.
Kang Eun-young’s eyes sparkled sharply as she held the greatsword of flame in both hands, just like her own daughter had done.
I had no intention of just throwing my life away for her.
The constellation’s descent was clearly an enemy too powerful for her to handle――but no matter how many human lives were sacrificed, it would not be able to make up for the lack of materials.
If I could somehow buy time, or if I could just find an opening and destroy it――!
[No resistance allowed. Your son, and your man, are now in my hands.]
The descending body of the follower of the ten thousand years raised his finger and pointed to the sky like a rock star performing on stage in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
Countless red glowing dots can be seen dotting the sky.
Dots that move slowly and grow larger.
[Where are the men? If you won’t listen to me, I will burn down this entire planet called Earth.]
“Ha… …! Even so, how can a constellation say such a dirty and cowardly word!”
Kang Rim-che responded to Kang Eun-young, who was shouting in anger, with a snicker.
[Are you mistaken about the constellations? Our way of thinking is no different from that of humans. Sometimes, there are those who are foolishly intoxicated by appearances and show off their appearances, but I am different. I get what I want no matter what. If it is the owner of an undying flame, then it goes without saying――.]
But at that moment, when the constellation was about to continue speaking as if it were something great.
A notification window appeared before the eyes of everyone on Earth.
– Expel aliens from Earth.
The next moment.
Ban Yu-mi, Kang Eun-young, and of course the descendants of the constellations were all thrown into space.
Whether it was a blessing from the Earth or the original system, the Banyuwon was right in front of us.
“”uh.””
The voices of Ban Yu-mi, Kang Eun-young, and Ban Yu-won, facing each other, overlapped beautifully.
Ban Yu-won, who had quickly assessed the situation, nodded his head confidently and shouted at the only uninvited guest in the place other than his older sister and mother—the descended body of the follower of the ten thousand kalpas.
“First, take care of that kid!”
