Admission is a waste of time (208)
Lesson 41. Paper Please – 3
Even though a meteor shower that could have destroyed the Earth was resolved by his son, his wife reverted to her 20s, and two beauties he had never seen before came to visit his house, the expression on Ban Yu-won’s father, Ban Ju-seok, was serious.
It was probably because of the piece of paper in front of him.
“Thank you for everything, honey. Now let’s both be free.”
It was a divorce paper.
“Wait a minute! Time! This doesn’t seem right, Eunyoung!”
The father, who was so flustered by the mother’s words that he even called her by a name she never used to call her, tried to stop her, but the mother’s will was strong.
“It’s something we agreed on when we got married. If we stay on Earth like this, you’ll be in danger too. We have to leave. That’s why I came back to talk to you.”
“Even so, is it really necessary to go as far as divorce?”
“after.”
Mother let out a deep sigh.
“It’s hard for us to meet again in the future. If we keep holding on, we’ll just get tired of each other.”
“So what if you’re a little tired? Honey, I don’t have anyone else but you.”
“Let’s stop talking nonsense and talk seriously. Do you think I have other men? I’m just saying this for my own happiness.”
“Even more so for my own happiness… … !”
At that point, Ban Yu-won reached the limit of his patience and stormed out.
Ban Yu-mi, who was gaping at the serious conversation between her parents for the first time in her life, was also dragged out.
“Hey, look. It’s about to get fun.”
“It’s not like I’m watching a morning drama.”
The ending is obvious anyway.
Since the two people’s emotions were clearly readable, it was better to just leave the room without waiting for them to create an awkward scene.
But when she was dragged outside, Ban Yu-mi’s complexion had darkened.
Anyway, it’s funny how I try to hide my true feelings every time I get caught.
“If Mom and Dad get divorced, it’ll be my fault. What should I do…?”
“What about divorce? I’m lucky I don’t have a third child today.”
When Ban Yu-won responded with a snicker, Ban Yu-mi said with a look of disbelief on her face.
“There is talk of divorce now, but what… … .”
“Mom, it’s not like you really wanted a divorce when you took out the divorce papers.”
“?”
Ban Yu-mi tilts her head at Ban Yu-won’s assertion.
Ban Yu-won continued, cursing himself for thinking that his older sister was cute.
“I’m prepared for this much, so if you don’t want to miss out, hold on tight now. That’s what I mean.”
Father will naturally cling desperately to her, and with that, mother, who has secured a promise that her father will not look away, will be able to leave Earth with a little more peace of mind.
So, it was essentially a warning letter disguised as a divorce certificate.
It was a document to prevent his father from having an affair while he was away… …and also to reaffirm that the love between the two was still strong.
“Do you really have to go that far? I don’t like that kind of thing. It’s better to say it out loud.”
After hearing his explanation, Ban Yu-mi looked tired, but Ban Yu-won smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.
“Mom isn’t usually like that, but the situation is what it is right now. Just like Mom said, I might not be able to see you for a few years, so I understand why you’d want to get a certificate.”
“… … a few years.”
At Ban Yu-won’s words, Ban Yu-mi’s expression suddenly darkened as she thought about what she would do in the future.
She may think she was prepared for it, but this was ultimately a choice she was forced to make due to various circumstances.
It was not surprising that my older sister, who was always confident and liked to lead others around, lost her confidence.
Ban Yu-won sighed deeply, wondering how he ended up becoming a psychological counselor, but decided to comfort his older sister.
“I don’t know about Dad, but I think he’ll get sick of it.”
“Really?! … … Why?”
Ban Yu-mi smiled briefly at those words, then quickly became serious and asked.
“That’s because our paths are the same. My sister will take back the Prominence family, and I’m currently locked up by the Prominence family… … or to be exact, that Sogaju. In order to resolve that, I have no choice but to do something about Prominence, and the best way to do that is to cooperate with my sister. Do you understand now?”
“I know you’re treating me like an idiot!”
“You’re so quick to get your hands out again. And what’s wrong with treating an idiot like an idiot… …!”
“This is it… … !”
Ban Yu-won held hands with his older sister who was reaching out to him, wrestled with her for a moment, and barely managed to calm her down before continuing to speak.
“You’re going to work with Aneri as a dimensional mercenary to hone your skills, right? You’re going to be busy from now on. Get ready before you leave.”
“I know that even without you saying it!”
“Be sure to say goodbye to your acquaintances properly.”
Her hand, which was holding Ban Yoo-won’s hand tightly, tightened.
Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to speak in a thin voice I had never heard before.
“… … I know that too.”
Anyway, it’s a sad sight that makes you feel weak.
Ban Yu-won sighed inwardly… … and gently held the hand of his older sister, who was much smaller than his, and patted her.
“ah…….”
My sister’s eyes widened, but she soon fell into his arms and began to sob.
It’s not like siblings usually hold hands and hug each other.
Era, I don’t know.
This arrangement will be fine.

The next day, Ban Yu-mi officially handed over the position of Guild Master of Oculus Louver to Kang Mi-yeon.
Everyone who did not know the details were shocked, but only the executives were able to hear the details.

“That’s ridiculous. Without Yumi, it wouldn’t be Oculus Louver!”
Yujina, a junior who had been a devoted follower of Ban Yumi from the beginning, reacted the most violently.
Lee Hyun-ji tilted her head and asked.
“What does Oculus Louver mean? Wasn’t it just a random name?”
“You didn’t even know that… …? Red eyes, red eyes.”
When Kang Mi-yeon, who had been promoted from sub-master to guild master, responded by pressing her throbbing forehead with her hand, Lee Hyun-ji made an expression that showed even more incomprehension.
“What is that? Is it a horror? If it’s red, it looks more like blood, so I guess you can understand.”
“Excuse me, Hyunji, but we’re having a serious conversation, so could you please excuse me?”
“Wow, did you hear what you just said? No matter what, I’m the first one!”
“Hyunji, I’m sorry, but could you please excuse me?”
“Gangmyeon, you too!!!”
“ha…….”
Ban Yu-mi sighed as she felt a sense of unease as she watched the situation quickly turn into a mess as soon as the guild master changed.
However, Ban Yu-won, who had thought it was a mess even before the change, calmly tapped the table to get everyone’s attention.
“I think everyone knows the situation Earth is in. I don’t know how long the Earth’s barrier will last, but… … .”
While saying that, Ban Yu-won was secretly thinking, somewhat arrogantly, that until he did something, the Earth’s barrier might remain like this for the rest of his life.
“As long as this continues, outsiders will not be able to enter the Earth, and it will be difficult for the constellations to interfere. In some ways, you could say that a disaster like this one will not happen again… … .”
“The Earth alone is tough.”
“That’s right, that’s right. As you may realize, Earth is a special dimension. The density of mana has been high since the dimensional evolution, and it’s been increasing even more. It wouldn’t be strange if H and I-rank dungeons based on Earth were to appear soon.”
If it weren’t for Ban Yu-won, Lee Hyun-ji and her group wouldn’t have even thought about going to a G-rank dungeon, so they couldn’t help but sigh.
“I wish my breast size was that big… … .”
“Hyunji, you really should get out.”
“Don’t be mad at me for falling behind Earth, G-rank! Who else is a full B-rank!”
“you……!”
“So the expression ‘full’ is actually used… … .”
“No, Yuwon. Don’t worry, she doesn’t usually wear it. It’s the older sister who’s weird.”
Ban Yu-won tried very hard to calm his confused mind.
Is this the hardships of a man working at a female-only company that I’ve only heard about?
“Hey, stop joking around. We don’t have time.”
Ban Yu-mi said with a serious expression.
“I’ve been given about a month to leave Earth. Before then, my goal is to clear as many dungeons as possible and level up. If you lose the top guild spot while I’m away, you’ll really die.”
“Ahh, how am I going to get first place without you!”
“Quiet.”
Surprisingly, it was Kang Mi-yeon who silenced the whining Lee Hyeon-ji.
He spoke while slamming the table with a rather serious expression, as if he had finally made up his mind.
“Good weapons have already been made by Yuwon. If Yuwon and Yumi just run dungeons like crazy for a month, we can easily raise the Earth ranking to the top. Hyunji, Jina, let’s think of it as our last gift to Yumi and run like crazy for a month.”
“Miyeon… … .”
As Ban Yu-mi was moved by Kang Mi-yeon’s words and her eyes filled with tears, Kang Mi-yeon coughed and continued speaking cautiously.
“I still think that we need motivation to work hard, and that appropriate rewards might lead to better results.”
“… … ?”
Kang Mi-yeon wasn’t the type to be very materialistic, and she became the guild’s submaster not because she had a desire for power or money, but rather to take care of others.
For some reason, Ban Yu-mi felt uneasy when she mentioned the word reward, and faced her with wavering eyes.
“That… … Sister.”
“Sister?!”
Ban Yu-mi is shocked by the unfamiliar words coming out of her friend’s mouth.
Kang Mi-yeon continued speaking with a cautious attitude that was rare to see.
“Sister, please let me go on a date with Yuwon just once… … .”
That day, a rain of blood fell on the Oculus Louver Guild.
Later, when Ban Yu-won heard from Lee Hyun-ji, it seemed that it wasn’t a good thing that he had provided Kang Mi-yeon with a good weapon and had given her special training the whole time before the G-rank dungeon raid.
From Ban Yoo-won’s perspective, he was just trying to help Kang Mi-yeon, who was second only to his older sister in terms of strength and possessed of unique powers, because he wanted her to become stronger, but to a woman who had only worked out her whole life, such kindness and interest was fatal.
Indeed, it was a good lesson.
The guild atmosphere was a mess.

[Babuting – Maybe that crazy bitch will try to interfere with your dimension.]
[Babuting – I’ll try to resolve this as quickly as possible, but it might cause some inconvenience.]
[Babuting – So… … You can disband the team if you want. With your current abilities, you should be able to obtain the solo exploration rights you wanted before.]
[Babuting – I’m sorry to contact you about this.]
[Babuting – It’ll be okay during the vacation though. There’s probably been some talk within the family, and things have probably turned sour with the sponsoring constellation for now.]
[Babuting – Think about it carefully during the vacation and tell me when the new semester starts. I’ll talk to that girl myself.]
[Babuting – I’m really sorry, Light. Stay healthy and I’ll see you when school starts.]
I check the message from my classmate that flew into the mirror with an expressionless face.
Do I need a reply? No, there is no need to pay attention to an extra-dimensional figure.
For now, and always, all you have to worry about is this beautiful star.
Somewhere in my head, I was sure that I was jumping for joy at the long-awaited contact from Ban Yu-won, regardless of the content… … .
He stood up from his seat, lightly crushing and crushing his weak self as he always did.
“Your Majesty, you must go on a campaign.”
“okay.”
A handsome and handsome star prince.
He had forgotten his original name and erased many unnecessary emotions, and the only thing left in his mind was the desire for battle.
As Light turned his helmet over and went into battle again as a perfect prince.
There was still a month left until school started.
