Admission is a waste of time (306)
Lesson 60. The Master of the House – 1
Ban Yu-mi glared at the enemy in front of her and raised her sword in her heart.
There is only one reason: she is a vixen who looks down on her younger brother without even knowing the subject.
Looking at the face of the female ninja Aneri, who was smiling slyly as if she knew all of her inner thoughts, she felt like she wanted to grind that face into a grater.
“I said I would take care of contacting that kid, but I didn’t.”
“It’s almost time for a big undertaking. As the leader of the mercenary group, I also have a lot to coordinate with Yuwon-nim on many fronts.”
As she said, the great undertaking of taking over the family, which she had been thinking about for several years, was now right before her eyes.
The younger brother was always nagging at his older sister, but he actually cared for her terribly, so he was always busy trying to help her… … .
That vixen bitch took advantage of the opportunity to increase her contact with her younger sister under the pretext of helping Ban Yu-mi, and today she caught her!
What? Match it in many ways?
Guess what?!
“I’m really going to kill you today and become the leader of the mercenary group. No matter how bad my brother is, I can’t give him to you guys. I can’t stand seeing him like that… …!”
“Oh my, you say our Yuwon is ugly? There’s no way an ugly person would go around hitting on women so much.”
“Whew, whack… … !”
Ban Yu-mi’s already fierce eyes turned completely red with anger.
The sword in my heart quickly burst into flames and transformed into a flaming sword.
The two qualities that symbolize sword and flame, prominence, combine into one, greatly increasing her fighting power.
Of course, compared to his incredibly powerful abilities, he still had a weak body and so had a disadvantage in that he had difficulty maintaining them for long.
“Get out of here, Aneri Dedotaaaaaaa!”
“Is this all? Is this the only way to protect Yuwon?”
“Ghhhhhhhhhh!”
“Ha, our young lady too.”
Keira Esra Prominence, a collateral member of Prominence and an agent sent to Earth, and now serving and assisting Banyumi, shrugged her shoulders as she watched the flames that Banyumi had lit.
When I look at the flames she creates, I feel like the blood flowing through my heart is boiling, and I think that she is definitely worthy of being called the master of prominence.
“But I’m still not good enough to stand above others――. I’m just blinded by that level of provocation.”
“Hehe, Kiera. Think about it this way.”
A young woman was looking at it with a happy face… Kang Eun-young, who had become young enough to believe that she was her older sister, even though she was not much older than Ban Yu-mi, said as she looked at her daughter who was engaged in a fierce battle with Aneri.
“It was kept locked away so that no one could touch it, and carefully preserved for decades… … No, you could call it maturing. The aged wine was stolen by someone else and drunk. And if the wine wasn’t originally yours, and you couldn’t even express your anger, then it would be natural for you to be seething inside like Yumi. To Yumi, it was a real turn-off.”
“… … Then, what, definitely. Wine? If our master were wine, it would be incredibly delicious… … .”
“Keira, you’re being bold when I hear you?”
“No, but Sister Seira. If it wasn’t yours, why did you lock it up in the first place and then get angry and say it was taken away?”
“Ah… … Selden.”
Selden, the only man in the mercenary group and a handyman, intervened in bewilderment.
Every word of it was correct, but because it was correct, it was an even more insensitive remark.
Ban Yu-mi, who had retreated from the close combat with Aneri, glared at him with a venomous expression and threw the sword in her hand into the air.
“You come out.”
“Ugh―― It’s a bit much to take your anger out on me after getting ripped off by Sister Aneri!”
“And Mom, what kind of wine is Ban Yu-won? And what’s the point of locking him up? I didn’t even save him!”
“Huh? Mom, can I tell you? Really? Let me see, when Yuwon was in 3rd year of middle school… … .”
“Mom, come out too!”
Surprisingly enough, the Dimensional Mercenary Corps Level Force was always like this, and even more surprisingly, it was cruising along like this.
However, as Aneri had mentioned earlier, as the great undertaking was approaching, he had been refraining from long-term expeditions recently. Instead, he had been waiting with the ‘invitation’ given by Ban Yu-won activated so that he could head to the Prominence dimension at any time, and had been repeatedly holding mock battles to raise his sense of actual combat.
Kang Eun-young was so angry that she couldn’t even control her powers, and her daughter was shaking her sword wildly. She then came back shaking her head after listing a lot of things that needed to be fixed.
“Whew, she’s still a kid.”
“My sister set it on fire… … .”
Keira, who had been looking at Kang Eun-young with a dumbfounded expression, turned her gaze back and laughed.
She was currently searching for information on the battlefield where the mercenary group had been staying until recently――the fierce battleground between the Dimensional Pirates and the Ortima Family.
“It’s exactly as you said, my lord. As soon as we left, the battle situation became strange. Only the battleship that Lucain Ortima was on ran wild, and the Ortima fleet ended up restraining it. The main force of Exodus also left long ago, and it seems like the Crimson Spear was just a scapegoat from the start… … How many of the ten families are involved in this?”
“If we were going to do this, I would have liked to secure some of Prominence’s corpses as well.”
Kang Eun-young, sitting next to Keira, skillfully tied up the back of her hair and looked at her daughter, who was still in the training ground, beating up Selden, with a strange look.
“I also wanted to see my daughter deal with other Prominences. I guess it’s because she gained experience in combat as a mercenary, and I feel like her powers are growing stronger.”
“You felt it too, Sister. I also feel the binding force and strength of Prominence whenever I see you, Miss.”
As I said repeatedly, Keira wasn’t loyal to Ban Yumi from the beginning.
If I had to say, I joined Level Force because I was the older sister of the guy I had a crush on, and because I had no other way out if I didn’t join them…
These days, whenever I encounter Ban Yu-mi’s power, I feel a sense of awe growing within me.
Unlike the current head of the household who was oppressed by all kinds of magic, sorcery, and the power of the constellations.
“What a pity. If only our Yumi had been given just a little more time, and had simply gathered the Prominence together without the hassle of dividing them up, she would have been able to kneel with enough power.”
“There’s no choice since we don’t have that much time… … But things worked out well thanks to the master’s ability, right? We’re probably the only group that would try to take down a family of ten so easily.”
“Huh? But wait a minute… … Yumi, what are you shining with?”
But was it because I was too optimistic?
“What’s shining? This is what Ban Yu-won gave me… … Huh?”
“–danger!”
The group was unable to resist the sudden manifestation of power that came immediately after and were swept away.
If I had to say, I would say that the Prominence family is more vicious than the group thinks, and that the meticulousness of the head of the family, who even deceived his daughter so that even Ban Yu-won, who can read all concepts and even emotions, did not notice, shone through.
The secret pass to the Prominence dimension that Ulrike gave to Ban Yu-won, and through him, was given to Ban Yu-mi.
It was endowed with the power of the constellation that governed that dimension――and the follower of the constellation who had found its traces interfered with it, even risking permanently consuming some of his own power, and distorted the function of the pass.
That’s how space travel happened.

All of Level Force, including Ban Yumi, were swept up in it and forcibly summoned to the S-7 dimension, to the mansion where the direct line of the Prominence family resided.
Ulrike originally intended to enjoy a secret meeting with Ban Yu-won, who had come to visit the family secretly, and gave him the pass to her room right away―― but the constellation slightly twisted the spatial coordinates and successfully summoned the four of them to the Great Parade Grounds, the Holy Fire Ground, where only those with the blood of the Prominence family could enter.
Naturally, there were gathered there a dozen or so direct lineage members, including the remaining head of the family who had not left for the Fairy Tail dimension, and hundreds of elite fighters from the collateral lineage.
“You came.”
As soon as Ban Yu-mi was summoned, she felt a force oppressing her entire body and jumped back.
The appearance of the person who spoke to her could be confirmed immediately.
Red Wizard’s Coat, an orb of blazing flames concentrated into a sphere.
A middle-aged man with three of them coiled around his body, protecting him.
The Prominence family head, who resembles the man Ban Yu-won confronted in the Fairy Tail dimension, but has a much colder and more ferocious impression.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You may not know it.”
The man whispered with a snake-like smile.
Ban Yu-mi bit her lip at the secret, sticky, and dirty voice that seemed to whisper in her ear despite the physical distance between them.
‘Oh my, that bastard Ban Yoo-won… …! What the hell did you give me!’
For a moment, I felt resentful towards my younger brother, but when I thought about my younger brother realizing this and blaming himself, my heart started to break.
It’s not his fault.
It was her own fault for dreaming big dreams that would never come true and burdening her younger brother.
Since it was an item obtained by deceiving the enemy, you should have always been on guard against the possibility of it being a trap.
“Keira Esra Prominence, you did something very cute.”
The head of the household looked her up and down with narrow eyes as if trying to read her mind, then turned his gaze to Keira, who was drawing her sword with nervousness.
“I never thought you would betray your family and cling to a collateral branch of lowly blood.”
“The real collateral line is yours. I was more loyal to the family.”
Even as I snorted in response, I couldn’t hide the fact that my legs were trembling.
As someone who knew well the astonishing power and military might of the head of the household along with Kang Eun-young among the members of the mercenary group, she could not help but feel that all hopes had gone up in smoke the moment she had to confront the head of the household.
However, the reason she did not kneel was not because of the realistic calculation that she would not be forgiven for doing so now, but because of her foolish pride in wanting to remain confident to the man she had fallen for, and her loyalty to the young lady who surprisingly stepped forward and glared at her as if trying to protect the group.
“The guardian knight of the collateral branch that I thought was already finished, and even a pirate. Ha, how ridiculous. Were these rags who had never even set foot in the heart of the family dreaming big dreams?”
As the head of the household raised one hand with those words, several of the direct descendants who were already engulfed in flames stepped forward.
Among them was Ulrike Prominence, who was shedding tears of betrayal.
Even he himself couldn’t tell whether it was a betrayal towards Ban Yu-won, who had thought of using him, or a betrayal towards his father, who had even deceived his own daughter in the hopes of retrieving the undying flame.
“I don’t want to talk anymore. Kill them all and leave alive only those who have seeds. Retrieving that power requires a somewhat complicated procedure.”
– Recovery? I want that child.
The hot voice that resonated throughout the space was what relieved the tension that was rising to the point of bursting.
The guardian constellation of the Prominence family, who covets the undying flame, and a follower of the Eternal.
The next moment, he surprisingly appeared in the form of a clone and looked at Ban Yu-mi with a hot gaze.
-I won’t accept any other seeds. I have to accept that child as is.
“But that is an unreasonable wish. I cannot accept it, so I will only extract the power. And what about not accepting it? Of course, I can accept it, and my daughter can too. Isn’t that right, Ulrike?”
“Ugh… … Yes, yes, father.”
Ulrike was clearly considered to be the successor to Prominence, but she made too many fatal mistakes when it came to her involvement with Ban Yu-won.
The will of the household was clear.
If you can’t handle the undying flame, you can no longer remain as a successor.
‘I’m dying, really.’
This is a situation where you hesitate to even breathe, knowing that if you move even a little, you will be baptized in countless flames and turn into a handful of ash in the next moment.
If you think about it, Selden, who was the most wronged in this situation, just rolled his eyes fiercely and looked at the situation, thinking.
‘But where on earth is Sister Aneri?’
