Admission is a waste of time (214)
Lesson 42. Image Change – 4
“policy!”
“mummy!”
The next morning, my reunion with Mira in the flower garden outside the student cafeteria was like a scene from a movie.
As soon as Mira spots him, she leans forward and runs towards him precariously, as if she might fall over at any moment.
Ban Yu-won runs to her in a hurry and catches her, spinning around in place.
The film feels even more cinematic because it is set in Union’s flower garden, which is said to have collected flowers from all dimensions as a joke.
Ban Yu-won gave Mira a brief kiss and then put her down on the floor and asked.
“Are you satisfied?”
“Yeah, but it would have been okay to go around one more time. Ticket, did you get it right?”
-Wiiing
“Our princess has opened her eyes to strange showmanship… … .”
“Because Ruchel is already being treated as your wife on the channel. You have to appeal to her even in the smallest details.”
At Mira’s firm words, Ban Yu-won simply shook his head.
Even though formal classes are scheduled to begin tomorrow, all the students have already returned to the academy.
Of course, there were a lot of people gathered at the breakfast restaurant, but Mira didn’t care about the gazes and created a scene that seemed to emphasize the relationship between her and Ban Yoo-won.
To be honest, the reunion itself happened last night.
It was only out of the princess’s childish wish to purely direct this scene that Ban Yu-won was mobilized into the play.
“There is a student council meeting today, so make sure to attend.”
Mira’s eyes sparkled mysteriously with purple as she returned the kiss a moment ago by kissing Ban Yu-won on the cheek and taking a half step back.
Those attractive eyes that make you feel so ominous that you feel like you will fall into them and never be able to escape if you let your guard down even for a little bit.
Ban Yu-won answered, trying to tear his gaze away from those eyes.
“Oh, come to think of it, I think I was officially appointed as the Planning Department Manager starting in the second semester.”
“That too. Today, representative students from each department are also scheduled to participate.”
“Each department… … ?”
Ban Yu-won tilted his head at the unfamiliar words that he would hear at a university, and then soon remembered that there was a thing called a major at Union.
“That’s what they call undergraduate school.”
“Yeah. You know that when you move up to your second year, you get to choose a professor in charge of your class, right? And then you become a student in the department that that professor is in charge of. Even though it’s called a department, it’s actually a mentoring system, but the students representing each department are usually treated as representatives of the professors and have a lot of say. That’s why you participate in the student council meetings. … … Don’t you remember how you got that brooch on your chest?”
“aha.”
Ban Yu-won looked at the flower-shaped jewel brooch that Yumi had personally given him and exclaimed in admiration.
I remember hearing that the magical combat science that Yumina teaches is a popular subject among all magic users within the academy.
At the beginning of her admission, there was a lot of talk here and there about Yumi choosing Ban Yuwon as her proxy…
Ban Yu-won’s face turned pale as he realized the true meaning of the brooch.
“… … Wait a minute. So I’m the representative of the Magic Combat Department?”
“You’re still a freshman, of course not. In the first place, not everyone who represents their department gets to receive a brooch.”
As she spoke, the brooch that Professor Campanella had given her was hanging on her chest, shining brightly.
“But everyone who received the brooch was, without exception, a representative of their department. Except for you.”
“I guess a representative student from the Faculty of Magic will be attending the meeting held today… … .”
Just thinking about how that person would react when he saw me made my stomach hurt.
But Mira laughed off his worries.
“It’s just that I wasn’t chosen by Professor Yumi because my abilities were lacking. You don’t need to worry about it. It’s the other person who needs to worry about it.”
“What if it were the other way around?”
“Prominence.”
The hatred that blossomed from deep within Mira’s eyes as she uttered those words seemed to be clearly visible to Ban Yu-won as well.
“Ulrike Prominence is the representative student of the Department of Occult Studies.”

As soon as they opened the door to the student council room and entered, there was someone standing in front of them, arms linked, greeting them.
Red membrane wings and horns, and the race’s signature vertically slit pupils like snake eyes.
Her hair was a bright red around her waist, probably cut a little shorter during the holidays.
Student Council President Shati was still beautiful, and her aura had grown stronger.
“How have you been, Chairman?”
“Ahhh, our planning manager!”
“Where.”
As soon as she saw Ban Yu-won, Mira stopped Shati, who was trying to hug him with her arms wide open like an over-the-top American.
“Kyahahahahaha! Then you should hug Mira instead!”
“Aren’t you going away? Your hair is hot!”
I turned my head, thinking that their relationship seemed to have gotten closer during the vacation, and saw that the members I had become familiar with after seeing them several times were all gathered together.
Secretary and office manager Graham, who is a third-year student like Mirana Shati, but is unnecessarily serious and gives off the impression of being the oldest.
Likewise, Vegan Delawalker, the accounting director, is a third-year student who gives off a smart and handsome impression, but his impression is vague because the other members are too unique.
In reality, she is the oldest member of the student council and a fourth-year student, but because she is small, she looks the youngest, and so is the president of the extracurricular activities club, Rika.
“How have you all been?”
“That’s what we wanted to ask. There was such a big thing going on, but you came back safely. It’s really fortunate.”
“I’ve been indebted to you for a long time… … I’m sorry I can’t be of much help. It might be okay inside the Academy, but dealing with the teenage families from the outside is difficult.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders and responded to Rika and Vegan’s heartfelt words.
“It’s okay, since we got through it safely. Besides, the Academy said they’d help us deal with Prominence, right?”
“Of course! Those who try to control people with their power are the main enemies of our student council!”
What Prominence did during this vacation was a major incident where they mobilized Orc Waves to literally trample an entire dimension, and it would have been widely known even if Ban Yu-won hadn’t broadcasted it live on the channel.

On the surface, it was packaged as a runaway constellation, but no one truly believed it.
“I’m really sorry, junior. I can’t go and help you when you’re having a hard time… … .”
Meanwhile, Graham, who was the first to meet Ban Yoo-won in the student council, apologized with a truly heartbroken look.
“My wife is about to give birth… … so I couldn’t leave your side. I’m sorry.”
“No, then of course I should be by your wife’s side. So, did you have a good baby?”
“I had a baby safely. Thank you for taking care of me.”
Whenever I talked to Graham, I felt a strange sense of relief as Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken came to mind.
But I dare not say this out loud.
There are only two women around him who would actively put that idea into action… … .
“Okay, Planning Manager. Come over here and sit down. The meeting will start soon.”
Before we knew it, a fairly large round table had appeared in the center of the student council room.
The seat of the half-moon was placed between Mira and Shati, and that was entirely intentional.
In order to provoke Ulrike Prominence, he was made to sit among the female members.
Shati suggested skinship to maximize the effect, but was stopped by Mira.
Mira pulled Ban Yu-won towards her and wrapped her arms around her as if protecting her from Shati, keeping her at bay.
“You can’t bring in a tiger to chase away a wolf.”
“Our Mira is really cute.”
“Chairman, Public Relations Director. It’s time for the department representatives to enter the room, so please stop now.”
As soon as all the student council executives took their seats, the door to the student council room opened.
Excluding Vice President Zenon, who was a full professor, eight professors were in charge of the department, so of course there were eight representative students.
However, since Mira, the representative student of the Artifact Creation Department, and Shati, the representative student of the Monster Ecology Department, were present, the number of students who entered the student council room was six in total.
“But Mira, is it okay for a student representative to concurrently serve on the student council?”
As I watched the students coming into the student council room one by one, I whispered to Mira and she answered with a faint smile.
“There’s no problem. The representative student is simply the face of the department, and is not in opposition to the student council. Rather, it would be better for the student council executives to become representative students, so that the special classes don’t take up all the representative student positions. The problem is that it’s difficult to do so.”
I was naturally convinced by Mira’s words.
In that sense, there may have been a reason why Graham first invited Ban Yu-won to the student council.
Even though he is still a freshman and not qualified, next year, Ban Yu-won, who has Yumina’s brooch, will automatically become the representative of the Magic Combat Department by pushing out the current representative…
‘In the end, what I’m saying is that I have no right to choose my major. This cute older sister really fooled me.’
If he wanted, he could return the brooch and choose a different department, but that would not be easy.
When that situation happened, Mina noona… … Ban Yu-won shivered as he recalled Yumina’s reaction, but then suddenly he raised his head and met the eyes of a student.
“ah…….”
“… … .”
His vivid red hair reminded him of his older sister.
Red eyes that sparkle brilliantly, as if they were carved from rubies.
The beautiful facial features that made you believe that the soul of a great craftsman had been sculpted with such passion felt extremely elegant and yet strong at the same time.
Yes, it was as if the flames that consumed everything were turned into people.
Even without being told, she knew that she was the successor to the Prominence family, which ruled over the unquenchable flame… … .
Seeing all of this, Ban Yu-won felt a strong sense of discomfort.
Because it didn’t seem like it was the first time I was seeing you.
‘Would you believe me if I told you we were sisters?’
Even the way Ban Yu-won looked up when he saw Mira with his raised eyes… …was similar to his older sister.
So, my older sister, who awakened the undying flame and transformed.
He looked away from her, sticking out his tongue at the thought of the power of bloodlines being so terrifying.
Since I was on Earth, it was a national rule not to make eye contact with my sister for more than 3 seconds.
It’s not like siblings always look at each other straight in the eye.
“… … !”
“It worked, Planning Manager! Good job!”
“?!”
Suddenly, Shati whispered in his ear, startling Ban Yu-won and making him shiver.
Thanks to using the Origin Sword, I knew she was approaching me, but when a woman approaches me suddenly, my body can’t help but react.
“I didn’t do anything?”
“Huh? Wasn’t that just an act, like you were looking at a bug?”
That’s because the habit I had toward my older sister when I was on Earth just automatically popped out…
But before Ban Yu-won could make any excuses, a hand came out from the other side and pushed Shati away.
Of course it was a mummy.
“Shati, are you really going to do it with me?”
“No, you can’t even whisper! You’re so jealous!”
As he had initially worried, the internal strife within the student council was unfolding smoothly.
Ban Yu-won raised his head, blaming himself for allowing Shati to arrange the seats like this in the first place… … and then he saw Ulrike Prominence glaring at him, or more precisely, the women on either side of him, as if she was going to kill them.
I hate to admit it, but Shati’s intentions were working out exactly as planned!
“Now that all student council officers and student representatives are seated, let’s begin the meeting, President.”
Vegan pushed up the monocle over his eyes and called out to Shati in a calm voice.
Mira and Shati, who had been growling until just a moment ago, calmed down and sat upright as soon as they heard those words.
“Okay, then let’s start the first student council meeting of this semester. This meeting will focus on discussing the union founding ceremony that will be held in six weeks… … .”
“I have a suggestion.”
At the very moment that Shati declared the opening, there was someone who quickly raised her hand, and it was none other than Ulrike Prominence.
This vacation, everyone who knows about her family, or more precisely, the work she led, is looking at her with concern, wondering how she has the decency to act so brazenly from the beginning of the meeting.
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but I think there’s something we need to discuss first in this meeting.”
Ulrike Prominence’s polite and smooth speech had the power to dispel the guard of even those who knew her true nature.
As Ban Yu-won was smiling bitterly, saying that the families of the teenagers were indeed different, Ulrike, who had just met his eyes, smiled brightly as if she was meeting his eyes for the first time and continued speaking.
“It’s the beginning of the second semester, when the student council will be really busy, but there’s no vice president. I think the first thing to do is fill that position.”
“Who is without a vice president right now… …!”
Ketra, who was the student council vice president, was a member of the dimensional pirate group Crimson Spear.
And the force that controlled the Crimson Spear from behind the scenes was the Prominence family, to which Ulrike Prominence belonged.
Of course, she had nothing to do with his death, and the fact that he was a dimensional pirate was something that had to be kept hidden from the student council… … Nevertheless, Shati could not possibly forgive Ulrike for bringing up Ketra’s absence so simply and lightly.
but.
“So, I suggest that we officially elect a vice president before we begin preparing for the founding ceremony in earnest.”
“Okay,” said Ulrike, covering her mouth with her fan with a sound.
Is there a rule in this world that says young lady characters have to carry fans? Ban Yu-won had a foolish thought.
Because of that, I ended up reacting stupidly to what she said next.
“And as a candidate, I would like to recommend Ban Yu-won, a student who is also here now.”
“… … Huh?”
