Admission is a waste of time (243)
Lesson 47. The twist of the twist – 3
The Union Travel Club, with a total of twenty members including Rebellion, now occupied a position that everyone would acknowledge even if they participated in a special club competition.
Not to mention the top Rebellion members, the lower-dimensional special admission students who served as the embossing stepping stone that laid the foundation for most of the grades were laying the foundation for the grades during the first semester, developing their own innate and unique abilities during the summer vacation, and by the second semester, they were showing performances that completely overwhelmed their grades.
‘Actually, that’s natural.’
While most students are selected from the upper level, those selected from the lower level through special admissions have strengths that set them apart from the upper level students.
It would be strange if they were not given a good evaluation as they were developing and leading their potential with the power of the anti-Yuwon.
“From now on, this ship belongs to Kartrow El Pasis!”
“If only some members didn’t do such nonsense… … .”
“Ugh! Ow! Aah! Don’t hit me there, don’t hit me where I hit you!”
This is why it is not a Union travelogue, but a strange journey… … .
Ban Yu-won let out a soft sigh as he watched the boulder being beaten into dust by the club members while attempting a coup.
The motive for the coup was simple.
He had somehow managed to create an amulet that increased all abilities by 15%, and before this competition, he began to run wild, saying that he would kick out the Rebellion members, including Ban Yu-won, and officially earn the position of club representative himself.
Although his ability to strengthen all members of the club was a powerful ability befitting a representative, the other members knew that it was Ban Yu-won who had helped him grow to this point, so there was no way they would approve of his coup.
No, from the beginning, that damn rock calmly does absurd things that you can’t tell if it’s serious or a joke.
There is a thrill there, but no room for longing.
but…….
‘Well, it’s over for us to do this kind of play together. It’s just good timing.’
He was definitely catching on to something he had been trying to convey to Ban Yu-won all along.
Actually, I knew this before, but I pretended not to know in order to clear it up once and for all.
But the spaceship has taken off, and there’s no going back until all the piled up work is taken care of.
The power here cannot go back.
So now it’s time to stop treating our seniors like rocks and just laughing.
“Ban Yu-won, what the reign of terror brings is ruin and collapse! Even if it’s not me, a second Kartro, a third Kartro will appear and break your fraudulent contract―― sob, sob!”
“Would you like to talk to me, sir?”
“No, leave it there.”
Woohyeol-rin suddenly appeared and tried to kidnap Dolmeng and take him away, but Ban Yu-won stopped him.
Woo-Hyeol-Rin had previously been seen restraining Dolmeng whenever he made excessive remarks――but his obviously tense appearance seemed to indicate that he was trying to prevent him from speaking any further.
By the way, didn’t I just say it was a fraudulent contract?
contract.
As expected.
“I think I’ll have to personally give Senior Dolmeng some mental education.”
“Haha, leave it to me. It seems like this person has a lot going for him… … .”
“Leave it.”
Ban Yu-won spoke with a heavy heart.
Indeed, it seemed as if what he had learned from his grandfather’s book had been effective, for Woohyeol-rin, who looked as if he would drag a rock and disappear somewhere at any moment, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He blinked as if he was in great shock and opened his mouth with difficulty to speak.
“Uh… …what did you say?”
“Leave it and go.”
When Ban Yu-won, who had even taken the coup d’état by the stone as a joke, spoke seriously, Woo Hyeol-rin could no longer show a bright expression.
El Pasis blinked at the cart caught between them.
He could see the strength in Woo Hyul-rin’s hands that were holding his shoulders.
“A junior of Ban Yu-won? No matter what, I’m your senior, so we should be polite to each other when we talk… .”
“Woo-hyeol-lin, stop repeating yourself so annoyingly.”
Ban Yu-won sighed and extended his hand.
Suddenly, a drop of rain flowed out of the inventory and aimed its sword at Woo-hyeol-rin’s neck with an eerie glow.
If someone who doesn’t know looks at it, it’s like a rash that has never been seen before.
In fact, among the Union Travel Club members, there were some who seemed genuinely surprised.
Ban Yu-won continued speaking, checking them all using his authority.
“Leave him here and you get out. Or, do you want to do it now?”
“ha ha ha…….”
Woo Hyeol-rin’s eyes, which had been shaking as if he was thinking about something, closed slightly and then opened again, and the next moment, he let go of Cartrow’s shoulder and stepped back as if his strength had been relieved.
“It’s nothing special, but you’re acting strangely serious, junior. Why are you suddenly embarrassing people? If something is bothering you, you should speak up. It’s not very praiseworthy to show it with such an attitude.”
“Yeah, are you going to leave now? Of course, you’re not confident yet.”
At Ban Yu-won’s words with a snicker, Woo Hyeol-rin took a couple of steps back with an expression on his face as if he didn’t understand what he was saying.
“You seem to be seriously mistaken―― Let’s talk later. It’s a special club competition, so calm down a bit. I was just trying to appease my senior with the kart.”
“If you knew, you would have come forward already. Why am I acting like this at this time? Don’t you think I’m an idiot?”
“you…….”
“That’s because you’re only that good. It was so obvious from the start that it wasn’t that scary. How obvious must it have been―― Even Mira would know?”
Woo Hyeol-rin’s face turned red for a moment.
Even though he pretended not to know anything else, it seems he couldn’t hide his feelings when the topic of the woman he was interested in came up.
A trace of a curse rippled slightly, and a blade of power flickering its tongue toward Ban Yu-won appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
Ban Yu-won, who saw that, did not provoke him any more.
Anyway, the personnel were completely covered with this.
Ban Yu-won, who had retrieved the Rain Sword, smiled and waved his hand.
“I’ve said everything I wanted to say, so I’ll go.”
“… … Yes. I don’t know why, but I hope you’ll calm down by the time you reach the abandoned dimension. We’ll talk again then.”

Woohyeol-rin turned around and disappeared.
Ban Yu-won snorted as he watched several members follow him and then stop in their tracks when they receive his fierce gaze.
The atmosphere inside the spaceship was still frozen.
This look of contempt, like looking at an ignorant brat, which I have never experienced since I became aware of my power!
In the midst of all this, there was someone who was alone and tilted his head, unable to understand the situation.
“Yu-won, why didn’t you kill me?”
No, it’s the opposite.
You’ve done a great job of assessing the situation.
Even though she can’t read emotions, she is more sensitive than anyone else to the complex flow of mana.
“Aire.”
“It would be easier to just kill him now. His strength isn’t that great, but his abilities are annoying.”
Aire speaks in a light tone, as if discussing a bug that can be killed by pressing it with a finger, and floats small ice arrows above her palm.
Some of the club members who thought she was making disgusting jokes typical of upper-level students smiled bitterly as if to say, ‘She’s no different,’ and Ban Yu-won, who knew that she was being completely sincere, hurriedly approached her and grabbed her hand.
“It is against the rules for academy students to threaten each other’s lives, Aire.”
“You can fool me.”
Well, you can fool them.
“Still, that won’t work.”
“… … Okay. Just let me know if you need any help.”
“Of course. Thank you.”
Honestly, Ban Yu-won had no idea that she would follow him to this competition until this morning.
From the beginning, she had planned to solve this problem herself, and Aire’s participation in the club was entirely an impromptu activity based on her mood at the time.
… … Above all, she was not from a lower dimension.
But, as if she had changed her mind, this morning she followed Ban Yu-won as if nothing had happened.
Of course, since she was officially a member of the Union Travels, she was not subject to any sanctions from anyone.
In fact, from that moment on, the expressions on Kartrow and Woohyullin’s faces were already quite something to see.
‘I’m not saying that I won’t do what I was going to do because of Aire, but it’ll just make it harder.’
Just by putting a burden on them, Ire was doing her job very well.
Ban Yu-won took out the tea he had kept in his inventory and gave it to her as a token of his gratitude.
“Your turn will come. Until then, just rest comfortably.”
“Yeah――Okay. … … Dragon Slayer, come here. Let’s play.”
“I told you not to call me a dragon slayer! I said I didn’t kill the dragon!”
“Our dragon slayer is cute.”
As Aire accepted the teacup and smiled slightly, she waved to Asha. She turned to Aire obediently, though her face was tearful.
Looking at that sight, I wonder if Aire simply followed Asha because she was worried about her.
It was like that when Asha changed in the second semester, he reacted sensitively and also strongly insisted that he should participate in the special match.
Most of the interactions between the two took place in places unknown to Ban Yu-won, but they were closer than he had imagined.
Even though I felt a little left out there, I couldn’t help but feel happy when I saw the pretty girls with silver and blonde hairs fighting each other, which made for a nice contrast.
“So… … you got rid of the bugs, but is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Ban Yu-won turned his gaze to Kartrow, who was still blankly staring at him, and spoke leisurely.
With the natural use of the Origin Sword as if breathing, a soundproof barrier was formed surrounding him and Kartrow.
Kartrow, who noticed the barrier, looked momentarily shocked at the use of his powers, but soon remembered his own situation and shouted in an exaggerated voice.
“Turn the boat around! We’re going to the Academy!”
Even if I put up a barrier, you’re still going to talk like this?
He answered with a sigh.
“That can’t be done. If that was the case, it would have been resolved long ago.”
“Give me back the amulet! I refuse to use my powers!”
“The amulets distributed to the members? Oh, there was something wrong with those too. But that’s okay. I made those amulets.”
“… … .”
Kartrow, who was dumbfounded, opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Ban Yu-won couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Senior, you’ve always been like that, but you’re still a very ambiguous person to the end.”
“Ugh――.”
“If you’re going to surrender, I want you to do it for sure. If you’re going to betray, do it perfectly. … … Yes, there must be a reason why you couldn’t do that and just pretended to be an idiot. Like restrictions. It seems like you’re emotionally on my side.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged and snapped his fingers.
Several raindrops shot out from the inventory and surrounded Kartrow, sharing his vitality to form a perfect barrier that made it impossible for anyone to interfere with him, not only physically but also magically.
As long as the energy contained in the raindrops is not depleted, the barrier will not be broken, and as long as the half-circle and the raindrops resonate, the energy will continue to be poured in, so no one can break this barrier.
He probably wouldn’t be the first to try to cross the barrier… …but it was a precaution.
“Taking that into account, if we make a final judgment, you are a neglected senior. I hope you survive.”
As he finished his work and turned to look at the monitor, Ruchel reported.
“We will break through the dimensional wall soon, Master.”
“Really? I always say that I don’t enjoy traveling because I move too fast. Everyone, get ready. Oh, and from now on, those whose names are called, come this way.”
Starting with Kshana, the nine members who had been called by name approached Ban Yu-won hesitantly.
Everyone seemed tense as Ban Yu-won, Woo Hyeol-rin, and Kartro suddenly clashed and created an unusual atmosphere.
“Yu, Yuwon Junior, I have no idea what’s going on right now… … Seriously, really. Seriously!”
“I know, Kshana-senpai.”
Next to Kart, this one has a unique ability to manipulate ‘sound’.
So, if Kshan, who Ban Yu-won had worked so hard for, had been a traitor, Ban Yu-won would have been crying by now.
“You have done well so far. You have shown your faith through your actions. In that sense, I have decided to cancel the contract, which was nothing more than a meaningless decoration.”
“A, a contract? Oh, that thing when you join a club――.”
“that’s right.”
Ban Yu-won accepted the lower-dimensional special admission students into the club and made a contract with all of them.
A contract based on ‘keeping secrets’ and ‘no betrayal’, with the condition that ‘as long as Ban Yu-won is enrolled at the academy, he will follow his orders.’
Even thinking about it now, it was a forced contract that was so unreasonable, but they obediently followed it.
“Because you guys won’t betray me without this.”
“Oh, that’s right. There was a contract. But… … .”
Kshana looked anxious as she looked at the rest of the club members who had distanced themselves from her and were standing on the opposite side―― and who seemed as if they were about to start a war.
Although she doesn’t have a very deep relationship with Ban Yu-won, she blindly supports him to the point that she took Ban Yu-won’s side without any doubt in the farce he had just played with Woo Hyeol-rin.
“I said no betrayal, but… … .”
“It was actually a hollow contract. I didn’t set out the price you would have to pay if you broke the terms I had set.”
The moment he uttered those words, Woo Hyul-rin, who was watching him from a distance, showed a clearly bewildered reaction.
It seemed as if he was surprised that Ban Yu-won himself was aware of the fact.
But Ban Yu-won continued speaking calmly, regardless of whether he was confused or not.
“So, I will cancel it from now on. Do you agree?”
“Uh, yeah.”
Kshan, who was quick-witted, realized that Ban Yu-won had a reason to mention the contract at this moment and nodded.
The others nodded along with her――and with that, the string of contract that had connected them to Ban Yu-won was simply released.
“Okay, the contract is terminated. Then, please take care of me in the future.”
“Don’t make me laugh!”
Finally, the blood clot exploded.
It was the moment I had been waiting for.
“Don’t act like you already knew everything. The contract you forced us to fulfill is an unfair contract! I will complete the contract that was left unfinished because you couldn’t offer the price! The price is not something we should be paying, it’s something you should be paying!”
Ban Yu-won sensed the purple magic power being released into the air at every word Woo Hyeol-rin said.
It was said that he had made a contract with the Gravekeeper of Purgatory, the constellation that controls the power of curses.
It would be a good match for Woohyeol-rin’s unique ability to deal with innate curses.
Ban Yu-won let out a deep breath as he felt the concentrated power of the curse trying to bind him, which was difficult to counter with the 250 depth curse he possessed.
“Is that the Geas you set?”
“Yes! Within the conditions I set, I gain the power to overturn reason! I gain power by breaking the unfair contract you presented to us! And now――I am the master of the contract.”
Chireung, a dark purple chain connecting Ban Yuwon and the seven remaining club members, excluding the nine whose contracts had just been terminated, came to mind.
Woohyeol-rin held it in his hand and shouted bravely.
“The contract is still valid, so even if we attack you, you can never harm us! The price for breaking the contract is your death! And my contract constellation, the Gravekeeper of Purgatory, expands the scope of this contract――! Not only here, but to all my comrades who support me!”
It seems like it’s describing the abilities of trap cards in a card game.
At this point, Ban Yu-won was starting to feel anxious that he might have to activate the reverse effect of the card he had put down in advance, but with the right timing, the spaceship quickly broke through the dimensional wall and the barricade installed to protect other dimensions.
No, on the contrary, it was probably Woohyeol-rin who waited for this moment to reveal his abilities.
“Wow, Master. Look… … !”
Ruchel made a hazy sound.
The miserable scenery beyond the dimensional wall was clearly revealed through the spaceship’s monitor.
And countless pirate fleets waiting beyond.
It was truly amazing to see the purple chains that Woohyullin was holding expand and swell, extending through the spaceship and towards them.
As Aire said, it was clearly a difficult and great ability.
As he was admiring them, a crackling noise suddenly spread throughout the spaceship, and soon a message burst out from the ship that had successfully connected.
―Ban Yu-won, we’re here――――!
“They’re not giant space monsters, but they act dirty.”
Ban Yu-won muttered in disbelief and looked at the ‘colleagues’ that Woo Hyeol-rin had mentioned through the monitor.
The coordinates of an abandoned dimension that no one other than the members participating in this competition and the president who is hosting it should know about.
The fleet of Exodus, a dimensional pirate that had arrived there in advance and was waiting for Banyuwon’s arrival.
