Admission is a waste of time (227)
Lesson 45. Preparing for the Foundation Day – 2
Tuesday afternoon.
After the lecture was over, the members gathered at the annex cafe (of course, Light didn’t come) and were enjoying dessert and coffee when the cafe became very noisy.
When I raised my head, I saw a famous student with high recognition among the first-year students approaching right in front of the table where the Rebellion members were sitting.
Haa, he glared at Ban Yu-won, who had let out a sigh without thinking, then turned his gaze to Dokgo Yeon, who was sitting across from him, and said.
“Dokgoyeon, I challenge you to a special match at the masquerade ball.”
Of course, the identity was Lucien Rownpalomer Equinas Ortima.
I had expected this to some extent, but I never thought they would approach me first.
At this point, it seems like it’s more than just unrequited love; it’s almost like an obsession.
As Ban Yu-won watched him, a question suddenly occurred to him.
“What do you want to ask of Dokgo Yeon?”
“Keep your mouth shut. You have no right to question me.”
Although his attitude was always prickly, I was thankful that he never said anything like “bug.”
Even though Ban Yu-won has grown this much, does he still not seem like a human to that guy?
Well… … I don’t think we’ll be pushed back much even if we fight head-on now.
‘If we only consider life, I would still be far behind, but now that Yuwon Gong and Giwon Sword have been completed.’
Although Ban Yu-won thought like that, he had no intention of picking a fight with Ortima right now.
That’s because the opportunity to decide who is stronger will come soon.
“What do you want from me?”
At that moment, Dokgo Yeon repeated Ban Yu-won’s question in his mouth again.
It seems like he would speak informally to everyone, but it’s surprisingly hard to hear Dokgo Yeon speak informally to everyone.
Previously, he had only used informal language when dealing with Ortima… … Ban Yu-won also did not know the reason yet.
‘Surely not… … Surely there’s no hope?!’
I acknowledge you since I couldn’t kill you even though I intended to. In the same way, I don’t think Dokgoyeon developed some feelings for Ortima and opened his heart to her, right?!
No, that can’t be.
Although he himself thought it was an absurd idea, Ban Yu-won felt slightly uneasy.
In the first place, don’t you even know what Dokgo Yeon is thinking and living for?
Meanwhile, Ortima, who was under some kind of illusion, surprisingly responded to Dokgoyeon’s words with a faint smile on his face.
“Three times, I have the right to date you whenever I want.”
“Pfft.”
Even though it was different from what he had imagined, Ruchel couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the remark.
Ban Yu-won barely managed to hold back his laughter when he heard those words!
That would be the case. Given Ortima’s usually overbearing attitude, it wouldn’t be strange for him to make unreasonable demands like “be my slave” or “let’s have a wedding”, but who would have thought that he would suddenly make such a boyish demand!
“Phew.”
“… … .”
Fortunately, Ortima had no time to blame Ruchel.
It was because I was distracted by Dokgo Yeon, who also burst into laughter.
Her face, with its black pupils and cross-shaped pupils, was so creepy to see for the first time, that it was truly creepy to look at her lost in thought.
“That’s true love.”
“What kind of mental structure would allow someone to fall in love with someone who cut off their own arm?”
“It’s amazing that you’ve been so calmly ignoring those comrades who tried to kill you, even though you’re still trying to kill them.”
While Ban Yu-won and Ruchel were whispering, Dokgo Yeon stopped laughing and answered with a serious expression.
“Since it’s a special match, I’ve already decided to go with Ban Yu-won, so you can apply to be my partner to Ulrike Prominence.”
“……what?”
Ortima glared at Ban Yu-won again, but he just shrugged.
It seems like the rumor hasn’t spread yet, but since the special match list is scheduled to be announced along with the tournament preliminary schedule anyway, everyone who needs to know will know before the founding ceremony.
And when that time comes, everyone will be able to know Ban Yu-won’s skills more objectively.
Or… … the true nature of prominence.
“under.”
Ortima continued speaking, clicking his tongue blatantly as if to cut off Ban Yoo-won’s imagination.
“I’ve heard that you offended Prominence, but I never thought you’d be so foolish as to confront the Ten Clans head-on.”
“Ha, those teenage families always start a fight first and then ask why I’m talking back.”
“What the heck? Who are you talking like that to right now… … .”
The moment Ortima became excited by Ban Yu-won’s harsh words, the surrounding mana that accepted his will instantly began to press Ban Yu-won with a thick murderous intent and a terrible weight.
Ortima’s unique ability is to ‘control’ mana, allowing him to attack at a speed close to instantaneous.
Of course, as long as it was within the range of the Origin Sword’s influence, it was possible to avoid the pressure, turn it into nothing, or even counterattack Ortima, but there was no need to reveal such a smart move now when you were going to fight an opponent later anyway.
Ban Yu-won operated Yu-won-gong and manifested the Diamond (金剛) concept within his body, easily enduring the pressure and laughing at Ortima.
“Then you should just not resist and get trampled to death? If you are so great and amazing, why did you come to Union Academy and compete with us and suffer? Oh, by the way, how many rooms did you explore last week? We have 160 rooms. If you have trouble conquering the tower, why don’t you watch our videos and use them as reference? Okay?”
“The burrows… … .”
“So I cleared all the way to room 160, but what about you?”
It might have been different at the beginning of the first semester, but now it’s not like Ban Yu-won is going to be pushed aside by Ortima’s momentum.
Now there is no need to listen to the word “bureoji” every single time.
Ortima fluttered her collar with a displeased expression at the sight of Ban Yu-won calmly resisting her ‘divine words of domination’.
“superficiality.”
It seemed like he couldn’t think of anything to refute.
He tried to ignore Ban Yoo-won and spoke to Dokgo Yeon.
“Dokgoyeon, the place you belong is not with a dirty and insignificant man like this.”

“I decide where I will be.”
“That’s… … of course.”
Ortima, who never acknowledges what others say, nodded obediently to Dokgoyeon’s words!
“You just don’t know it now. The abilities you possess, the qualifications and rights you deserve. The things you can’t see yet because your vision is narrow. I’ll give them all back to you. Just wait.”
“… … .”
Dokgoyeon didn’t respond to those words, but Ortima nodded with a determined expression and turned around.
It seems like he came all the way to the annex cafe with the intention of telling Dokgoyeon that from the beginning.
While thinking about confessing his love, Ban Yu-won glanced at Dokgo Yeon’s expression.
“Why are you looking at me with such a strange expression, Ban Yu-won?”
“No, I was just curious what you thought of Ortima.”
Ban Yu-won inadvertently reveals his true feelings when Dokgo Yeon glares at him.
At those words, Ruchel jumped up and shouted.
“Master, are you jealous? Do it for me too. Look, there are so many people who comment on my channel saying they are my fans――.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Hehehe.”
Ultimately, Ruchel’s goal is skinship.
Dokgoyeon, who was watching Ban Yuwon pull her into his arms and make her behave, suddenly let out a short sigh.
“Maybe that man knows the secret of my dimension.”
And then he blurted out words that were hundreds of millions of light years away from what Ban Yu-won had been thinking, leaving him bewildered.
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“What are you talking about? Didn’t you think the same thing? That bastard knows the source of my power and wants to take it away from me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be saying such ridiculous things like going on a date with me.”
I wonder what on earth she’s thinking.
No, I couldn’t understand what kind of misunderstanding they were having.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Dokgoyeon continued speaking at a slightly faster pace than usual, leaving Ban Yuwon and Ruchel, who were looking at each other and wondering where they had gone wrong, alone.
“It is impossible for him to be attracted to me as a woman. He couldn’t hide his feelings either. I could read the desire in his eyes, the desire for the source of my strength.”
“Dokgoyeon… … That desire isn’t that desire… … .”
“You’re foolish. It’s not something you can obtain by teaching it. Among the people from the outer dimension, the only one who can do that is probably you, Ban Yu-won.”
“… … Wait a minute, stop.”
Right now, the issue isn’t martial arts or anything like that.
This is almost a desperate denial of reality, but it probably isn’t like that for Dokgo Yeon himself.
I’ve heard Dokgoyeon talk like that sometimes, but I never thought he’d really think that way.
I knew that I didn’t like the idea of a romantic relationship between a man and a woman, but this isn’t that big of a problem…
‘Well, I was scared at first too. I was definitely scared at first, but now… … .’
At that moment, Ban Yu-won was moving his lips, contemplating whether he should say this or not.
“Ruchel said, grabbing his sleeve as if he was determined to press the nuclear missile button.
“Master, shall I do it?”
“It’s so embarrassing… … but, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
I don’t know how things came to this, but I don’t like the fact that Dokgoyeon keeps having these thoughts.
There’s no guarantee that someone like Ortima won’t appear again in the future.
“Dokgoyeon, come on a date with me.”
“yes?!”
In the end, Ban Yoo-won had no choice but to act like this.
Of course, the sound Dokgo Yeon made just now, when she was so surprised that her neck flipped over, was recorded without any gaps.
If you tell her later, she will definitely be happy and will rush to kill Ban Yu-won.
“Are you kidding me too?”
“Can you go on a date with me? Okay?”
“Oh my, I told you, Master is really a womanizer.”
Ban Yu-won asks with a serious expression, while Ruchel sighs as if she has no choice.
Dokgo Yeon immediately thought about whether he should draw his sword and punish the naughty kids who were playing pranks on him.
but…….
It’s a date… … .
“… … .”
“Huh? Just once.”
Ban Yoo-won putting his hands together and acting cute for no reason.
But he knows.
In fact, his aegyo is quite popular here and there.
“… … I don’t know what your plan is, but I’ll let you hang out together.”
In the end, Dokgo Yeon nodded.
He didn’t even notice that his cheeks were slightly flushed.
Ban Yu-won smiled brightly.
“Okay, then it’s late today, so tomorrow afternoon. Since tomorrow is only a morning class, you can both take some time before lunch.”
“I know I won’t forgive you for something so trivial.”
“There’s no way a date with you would be boring. It’s such a precious opportunity that Ortima would offer it in exchange for a special match.”
Dokgoyeon frowned at Ban Yuwon’s words.
“So that means that bastard had other intentions―― Phew, that doesn’t make sense. I’m worried this might be a waste of time.”
“I’ll try to come up with the best plan I can. There are plenty of fun things to do in Ronica, too.”
“… … .”
When Ban Yu-won’s voice was filled with anticipation that he couldn’t quite hide, Ruchel looked at him with a sour expression.
“Isn’t this too much favoritism, Master?”
“Favorism? What are you talking about?”
“Oh, okay. You have to go on a date with me next time too.”
As he said that, Ruchel turned his gaze to Dokgoyeon.
“Okay, then Dokgoyeon, you go prepare for the date with me.”
“What? Is that something that requires preparation? The date is tomorrow… … .”
When Dokgo Yeon responded in confusion, Ruchel shook her head loudly and shouted.
“Tomorrow will be too late! Are you really saying that you were going out on a date with your master in that black outfit without any thought?”
“Poem, it’s dark.”
Dokgoyeon was speechless at Ruchel’s attitude of swearing at a rare item that could not be found anywhere.
But Ruchel, unusually strong, perhaps even a little bit sentimental, grabbed her and pulled her towards him.
“Then we will go now! Master, please wait!”
“Hey, beast! Why are you so strong… … beast!”
During the vacation, Dokgoyeon is dragged away by Ruchel, who has become too strong to resist her with just her strength.
I never would have expected that the two of them would act like that back in the first semester――.
Ban Yu-won couldn’t hide the smile that naturally came to his face at the delighted sight and muttered quietly.
“Since you’re already here, it would have been nice if we could have sat together, right?”
But no one answered those words.
Instead, one of the students who had been sitting quietly in the corner also quietly got up and left his seat.
However, the moment Ban Yu-won asked Dokgo Yeon out on a date, he clearly saw that the student was shaken.
This situation is called killing two birds with one stone.
As he sat up with a grin, the mirror vibrated.
[Ulrike Prominence – I heard about what happened today. I would like to meet you once on the condition that you accept a special match. Surely you won’t say no, will you?]
It’s killing two birds with one stone.
