Admission is a waste of time (279)
Lesson 54. Things you shouldn’t touch – 4
It had been a while since the midterms, and the tension of the final exams was starting to creep into Union Academy the week after the special activities ended.
Unlike the first half of the second semester, which was full of events and issues, now is the time to really focus on evaluation through top, special activities, and classes.
And that tension was especially strong among the first-year students, and in order to break the solidified trend of Rebellion’s overwhelming superiority, the special class students led by Ortima carried out a group project with several full professors who were particularly friendly to the upper level.
“What is that?”
“It’s like a paper you and the princess are writing together.”
Ban Yu-won was immediately convinced by Misty’s intuitive explanation.
As it turned out, Aire and I hit it off, and the magic thesis writing that we started in the first semester was a worthwhile project that not only replaced the written assessment for Yumina’s magic combat class, but also allowed us to receive high bonus points depending on the completion of the thesis.
Of course, it was the same in the first semester and this second semester as well, and I was armed with a novel and effective magic theory based on a possible idea as I am a Ban Yu-won who analyzes and deals with all language concepts and is the successor to the dragon’s blood, so I was working on a thesis that could aim for a high score, but even considering that, I thought that the bonus points were a bit generous.
‘That’s because Mina-noona loves us… maybe she especially cares about me. Since it’s her specialty, the other professors can’t really make a big deal out of the grading. If that’s the case, then let’s say it the other way around.’
Any other full professor who wants to make sure that the special class doesn’t get pushed out by Rebellion can do the same thing.
If it goes too far, there will be sanctions, but professors aren’t stupid, so they will probably favor special classes to a degree that they can’t raise objections, but to the point where it feels annoying.
Even if you want to tackle it, the problem is that Ban Yoo-won is already doing something similar.
No matter how great the magic paper he and Aire wrote together was, they would only look at the grades Ban Yu-won received and would obviously argue that if they could do it, why can’t they?
“Well, if you want to do it, then do it. In the first place, I didn’t write my thesis with the intention of getting top marks.”
“Then why are you writing it? Because you want to have some time alone with the princess?”
Looking at Misty, who was glaring at him with her sharp eyes and questioning him, Ban Yu-won seriously suspected that perhaps this guy was colluding with the Special Class and was trying to screw him over.
“One of the reasons is that I wanted to become close with Aire.”
“You finally confessed, you wolf bastard!”
“And I also wanted to gain in-depth knowledge about magic. In fact, my magical skills improved a lot thanks to my thesis with Aire.”
“I’m jealous, I’m jealous… …! I want to study magic alone with the princess, not with those showy brats who keep bothering me!”
“Oh, so you’re also working on that project together anyway.”
“You’re not asking me to tell you what I’m doing, are you?”
“No way,” Ban Yu-won said, shaking his head and laughing.
She seemed to have turned a deaf ear to his words that he was not interested in the top position.
It’s not like I wasn’t interested in them though.
To one of them, to be exact.
“I have a question. How is Lucien Ortima?”
“It’s dangerous.”
The answer was immediate.
“Honestly, everyone was taking the situation too lightly. They were just treating it as the crown prince’s whim, but things started getting weirder and weirder… … .”
Ban Yu-won had guessed this to some extent.
This was because he realized that the other students in the special class looked at Ban Yu-won as if he was a bastard they should kill, and when they looked at Dokgo Yeon, they looked at him with subtle eyes, not knowing how to treat him.
As he stared blankly, Misty sighed and continued speaking.
“I guess it was the first true love I’ve ever felt. But because of the penalty I received at the competition, I couldn’t even recognize it… … Now, I’m practically crazy. I kept looking for Dokgo Yeon and now I’m even drawing pictures. There’s also talk that this project was planned by his close associates to somehow bring him back to his senses… … Really, I guess this is what it means to be lovesick.”
“Phuhat.”
A love sickness? Ban Yu-won laughed out loud as he recalled the incident during the special activity where he first revealed his desire for Dokgo Yeon and his actions back then.
It was entirely Lucien Ortima’s pride, recklessness, and, to add a little more, impatience that things had come to this point.
“This is so much fun.”
No matter what Lucain Ortima’s situation is now, the sins he committed in the past will never go away.
For that scum who had sacrificed a single dimension and many academy students to achieve his own goal—his current state of suffering from a single longing that he could never achieve no matter what he sacrificed was perfect.
“You’re having fun, you. How many dimensions will that person have in the future and how much will his assets be? Aren’t you afraid?”
However, Misty, who knew about the relationship between Lucien Ortima and Rebellion but did not know the details of what had happened between them, thought that regardless of what he had done in the past, his current behavior was a great insult compared to his social status.
Compared to other special class students, she was relatively awake, but she had lived as a high-ranking lady in a higher dimension for too long to abandon her innate way of thinking.
However, even so, it can be said that she is quite influenced by this side, as she is concerned about Ban Yu-won’s safety rather than defending Lucien.
“I’m afraid that if you’re the heir to a teenage family, you might get a knife stuck in your throat.”
“You are not even human.”
“Not even a human? I saved that guy’s life, and you don’t know anything about it.”
Misty snorted at Ban Yu-won’s sincere words.
“How much life will be lost if that human dies? I’m fine, but don’t say that in front of the guards. They’re really trying to kill each other right now.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“Are you worried? Who would worry… …!”
Misty, who had been furious as if she had been hit on the nail on the head, shouted in anger when she saw the smile on Ban Yoo-won’s lips.
“You, don’t laugh like that. If you weren’t a real princess, I would have been… … .”
“hmm.”
Misty couldn’t continue speaking.
As was always the case when the two were talking in the classroom, Aire came over and sat down next to Ban Yu-won, glaring at Misty with her expressionless sky-blue eyes.
The moment when a beauty beyond royalty singled her out among countless ordinary people and glared at her was incredibly ecstatic for Misty.
Maybe she wanted to talk to Ban Yu-won even more because of this compensation time.
“You two get along well.”
But the words coming out of Aire’s mouth were not so pleasant.
Misty, who was afraid that Aire might misunderstand the relationship between her and Ban Yu-won, shook her head and shouted.
“Sai? I don’t like it! Rather, we’re almost enemies!”
“Enemy… …? Are you, Yuwon’s enemy?”
“No, that’s not what I’m saying! It’s just that we feel like bad friends… … .”
Misty, unable to bear the cold gaze of Aire that seemed to imply, “The enemy of the amusement park? Then, you are also my enemy.”, almost bursts into tears as she desperately makes excuses.
As he turned his gaze to Misty, feeling sorry for her difficult life, he saw Rushu, who was sitting in front of Misty, looking back at him with sparkling eyes.

“Hey, should I do it for you, spy? I usually have no presence, so I can find out all sorts of things!”
“No, it’s okay. Stop it, you’re in danger.”
And I don’t know, but you have quite the presence.
What if, rather than our Asha… … we could infiltrate Asha as an agent?
* * *
Surprisingly, it was through Unity that I learned about the first-year special class project.
So what I’m saying is that their project was nothing more than running a YouTube channel.
However, since they couldn’t even dream of broadcasting images from inside the tower like Rebellion, what they chose was to plan a special activity in which special classes would participate in units, and produce splendid images using the unique and colorful powers unique to those from higher dimensions.
“Didn’t you say that the camera would break down under absurdly large magical power reactions?”
Asha tilts her head as she watches the special class students having a blast planning special activities and fighting off dimensional pirates on the screen.
Ban Yu-won put a stick candy into Asha’s gaping mouth and taught her the correct answer.
“I guess Lucien Ortima’s ability to rule must have been demonstrated.”
Ortima’s power to interfere with the very laws that govern the world is certainly comparable to the linguistic power of the Banyuwon.
I thought he must have been quite shocked to endure the humiliation of having to control the camera under his own authority.
“Yum… … Will that be enough to endure it?”
“The tower is impossible, but a battlefield like that would be possible. The reason it hasn’t happened until now is because no one has ever thought of having someone who is the heir to a family of the ten great dynasties be a cameraman.”
In response to Ban Yu-won’s words, the cameraman Tike, who was by no means underpaid, responded angrily by tightening and loosening the aperture.
“Don’t get me wrong, Tike. You are a great cinematographer representing our Rebellion Channel. You are different from Ortima.”
-Wiiing
Tike is satisfied with those words.
Suddenly, I felt someone staring at me and turned my head to see Ruchel opening her small mouth and saying, “Ah—.”
“It’s started.”
“ah–.”
After giving Ruchel what she wanted as she shook her shoulders and whined, he glanced at her and saw Dokgoyeon keeping her mouth shut as if he would never do the same.
Does she really not know that it’s cuter that way?
If you do it knowingly, you have no choice but to admit that it is a high-level task.
“But why are you a dimensional pirate?”
Lucelle suddenly said while biting into the cookie.
“Special activities that involve dealing with people are not usually offered to first-year students.”
“Could it be that the reason we got attention from all over the dimension was because of the video of us fighting the dimensional pirates?”
“That may be possible. But I… … .”
Once to Dokgo Yeon, who kept his mouth shut, and then once to Ban Yu-won.
She gave him a hypothesis while looking at him from time to time.
“Perhaps this is a sign to the master?”
“huh?”
“It is well known that the majority of dimensional pirates are enemies to the Master. And the special class led by Lucain Ortima is currently directly dealing with the dimensional pirates. Would it be too hasty to see this as a friendly signal to the Master?”
“You’re not Dokgo Yeon, and you’re trying to flatter me… … No, wait a minute.”
Ban Yu-won checked all the videos uploaded to the special class channel opened on Unitube.
The majority of the videos were about wiping out dimensional pirates, and regardless of the purpose, the response was extremely high because there were a lot of users on Unitube who disliked dimensional pirates.
They were not only fighting nameless rascals, but also fleets belonging to Exodus and Crimson Spear without hesitation, so much so that if you looked at them, you would think they were a group of vengeful ghosts who held a bitter grudge against dimensional pirates, rather than upper-dimensional students from the proud Union Academy.
“The Ortima family is definitely related to the Dimensional Pirates. Furthermore, the Crimson Spear is something Prominence uses. This… is really going strangely.”
It would be even more surprising if it was done to flatter Ban Yoo-won.
Moreover, if Ruchel’s guess is correct, then Lucien Ortima has concluded that in order to change Dokgoyeon’s mind, she must first win Ban Yuwon’s heart.
In other words, this also means that Ban Yu-won acknowledged that he had a relationship in which he could exert great influence over Dokgo Yeon.
Even after enduring all that, is he really going to such extreme lengths just to see Dokgo Yeon’s face again?!
“Is this kid really a monster… … ?!”
“He’s not the heir to the teenage family for nothing… … He’s kind of crazy.”
Ban Yu-won is shocked to realize that the snowball he rolled was extremely advantageous to Rebellion, but that it was an unprecedented situation that he had no idea what would happen to the teenage families.
Asha, who had been clicking her tongue next to him, noticed Ban Yu-won’s gaze and opened her mouth slightly again, begging for some snacks like a baby bird.
You? You are also the successor of the True Dragon.
you?!
