Admission is a waste of time (319)
Lesson 62. Change – 4
After a long-term exploration, it is common for teams to embark on long-term special activities.
But this semester alone, it was omitted, as the entire dimension was in an uproar over the aftermath of a great conflict that would only occur once in hundreds of years.
With the universe now full of variables, if students go out for extracurricular activities and something goes wrong, even Union Academy can’t just let it go.
The president announced that special activities would be canceled for this semester only and that vacation periods would be extended by two weeks.
Even the Union students who were studying hard to reach the top of the tower and the throne beyond couldn’t help but cheer at the extended break period.
It was the same for Ban Yu-won.
“Then, we will now hold Rebellion’s final party.”
Still, Shati, who was the student council president and had a knack for hosting gatherings, solemnly declared and lit the candles on the cake.
On top of the graduation cake that Ruchel had personally baked, there were dolls made of sugar craft intricately in various poses. Among them, Mira frowned when she saw the Ruchel doll in a wedding dress and the Ban Yu-won doll in a tuxedo hugging each other beautifully, and snapped her fingers.
Then, the positions of the mummy doll and the Lucelle doll were switched exactly, and a shameless scene was created where it seemed as if the groom had abandoned his newlywed bride and was embracing another woman.
“Ahhhh, Sister Mira!”
“You started the provocation.”
“Stop fighting and let’s start a meeting!”
Shati screamed and slammed the desk.
The magical heat that spread exquisitely from her hands caused all the sugar figurines on the cake to melt and flow, coating the cake in sugar.
Ban Yu-won blew out the candle, impressed by Shati’s delicate control of power.
“Then let’s talk while eating.”
“It looked good, but you melted it all down… … .”
“My doll was alone and looked lonely. So I just melted them all together to make them one.”
“Senior, please don’t ever be interested in something like a plan to supplement humanity.”
Ban Yu-won used his knife skills to cut the cake into exactly seven pieces.
The rest of the members paused after seeing the number of pieces, but Ban Yu-won, who had given each member of the group a piece of cake, smiled as if it was nothing while pulling two pieces towards himself.
“I know that too. But since this is a place to wrap up a year of Rebellion activities, I want to take care of Yeon’s share as well.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged as he cut his share of the cake with a fork, neatly wrapping up a piece and putting it in his inventory.
“What should we talk about, me first? I guess I can’t avoid talking about the Rebellion Channel――.”
“I guess that’s good.”
Aire, who was using magic to manipulate the sugar stuck to the cake she had received to create a doll of herself again, spoke quietly.
“Yuwon, come to Melodia like you promised.”
“Hmm.”
Ruchel tried to restrain her, but then closed her mouth as she remembered him visiting her dimension during the summer vacation.
Fortunately, Mira, who took his place, was a bit more shy than Ruchel.
“Fairy Tail would like to invite you again. You are practically the savior of all fairies. Of course… …the Fairy Queen, who is not worthy of her age, might find you a bit annoying.”
“Melodia also helped Fairy Tail. If we’re going to say hello, Melodia will be the first.”
Mira smiled and added to her words as she faced Aire who did not back down.
“Okay, so let’s stop by Fairy Tail and then we can all go together. As the successor of Fairy Tail, it would be right for me to express my gratitude along with Yuwon.”
“The head of the public relations department is insubordinate to the vice president… … .”
“There’s nothing he can’t say to his senior.”
The atmosphere barely lightened.
Maybe those two people were aiming for that and pretending to fight like that.
… … I guess so?
“I’ll go to Melodia alone. Aire, it won’t take long, right?”
“It would be fun to spend the vacation together and discuss magic.”
It’s strange, it seems that Aire was clearly treating him as a friend, but at some point, it felt like Aire started approaching him a bit more openly…
Aire was disappointed when he said he would just take care of business and leave, but this was also an opportunity for others.
“Honey, you’ll come to Fairy Tail right after you come back from Melodia, right?”
“My parents also participated in this war. They are a little disappointed that they were not able to properly greet you at that time.”
“Ah, ahhh! The Guardian Knights of our country too! They asked me to see the national seal――.”
“Sorry everyone.”
But they all soon ended up sinking just like Aire.
“There’s a place I have to go alone. I might have to finish early, but… … I want to stay there for the whole vacation if possible.”
“Ugh.”
Mira, sensing Ban Yu-won’s strong will, hugged him tightly.
“Then let’s hug each other a lot, even now.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t pay much attention to you, Mira.”
“It’s okay, just take care of me before I leave.”
Ban Yu-won patted Mira on the back and smiled bitterly.
Ruchel, who had a rough idea of where he was going, also sighed and stepped back.
“Let’s go together next time. I have something to pay back.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Light, you too.”
“Huh? Where did Yuwon go―― Ah, I see! Actually, I don’t know, but anyway!”
As the issue of Ban Yu-won’s whereabouts, the biggest topic of conversation at the Rebellion meeting, ended in vain, the group quietly ate cake and champagne.
Then, as if a memory suddenly occurred to Shati, she spoke.
“What about Professor Yumina? She’s not the type of person to skip out on something like this.”
“You’ve become very busy since becoming the vice president. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think I’ll be able to even dream of having a personal space until the second year starts. How about you, Professor Campanella?”
“Ah――I guess the shock of the heartbreak along with the physical impact was too much. You’ve been gloomy these days.”

“… … Do you perhaps resent me?”
“No way.”
Shati shook her head.
“Rather, you blamed yourself a lot, saying that it was your fault… … that things turned out that way. It may seem a bit shameless to say this, but wouldn’t it be okay if we met sometime later? You’re a weak-hearted person.”
“We’ll be seeing each other often from now on, I guess.”
“huh?”
Shati perked up her ears.
Others were also surprised by those words.
In particular, Mira, who was in his arms, seemed to sense something and raised her head and stared at him intently.
“Honey, really?”
“That’s right. I’m planning on majoring in Artifact Creation.”
“Whoa――!”
Mira clapped her hands in joy.
That’s because my major is in that field.
Just thinking about taking classes like that and enjoying campus romance made my heart race.
“No, no, wait a minute. Planning Manager, you.”
Meanwhile, Shati, with an expression that said she had heard an unbelievable story, pointed to the gorgeous, petal-shaped jeweled brooch still hanging on his chest.
“You’re Professor Yumina’s representative. But you’re choosing Artifact Crafting instead of Magical Combat?”
“I thought about it realistically.”
Why is the word ‘Sili’ coming out here? In reality, isn’t it true that he only has thoughts of having fun with his pretty fairy girlfriend?―― She was glaring at Ban Yu-won with eyes full of suspicion.
“Anyway, Professor Yumina and I are close. That means I can receive private lessons from her anytime.”
“You say such amazing things so casually… … .”
“But he’s not Professor Campanella. And he’s the one who teaches the classes that are directly related to my ability enhancement. I thought that if I wanted to take care of both, it would be right to major in this field.”
“That’s true… … .”
Everyone knows that Ban Yu-won’s swordsmanship, which he learned directly from Dokgo Yeon, is amazing, but what stands out even more is his power to freely manipulate concepts and mix magic and sorcery to create large-scale phenomena.
But there was something that symbolized Ban Yu-won more clearly than those two: the presence of his retinue and artifacts that always moved according to his will and assisted in all his actions, leading to better results.
If there had been no Eve right now, if there had been no Lilith, if there had been no Tyche.
If it weren’t for the Decapitator’s Sword or Requiem, Ban Yu-won wouldn’t be standing here now.
“I felt like I needed to learn more about artifacts and objects from the ground up.”
Above all, the sword of death that remained at the end of Dokgo Yeon’s final struggle.
The dagger given by the president and the sword of the beheader were combined, and the energy of Dokgoyeon was infused into it. It was born, but it was in a state of irreparable rupture after clashing with Zenon.
However, if it were to be destroyed carelessly, the death inside would be released and cause a disaster in the area, so now Ban Yu-won does not dare to touch it and just keeps it in his inventory.
Knowledge of the fundamental concepts of the artifact was essential even to properly repair and handle it.
“If you have such a clear-cut idea, it’s hard for me to comment… … I don’t know what Professor Yumina thinks.”
“It’ll be okay, sister. I’m an expert at comforting people.”
“You really are such a playboy.”
“Okay, Shati, don’t fall for this kind of guy and find someone good.”
“In the past, our Mira wasn’t a woman whose inner self was this transparent.”
Shati shook her head and stuffed the remaining piece of cake into her mouth.
“If we all become one, we won’t have to fight over one man.”
“I told you not to be interested in the human complement plan?!”
After that, it’s the day of application for major.
Yumina, who noticed that Ban Yu-won wanted to advance to the Artifact Production Department for the above reasons, became the Vice President and for the first time fully exercised her power, creating the first dual major system in Union.
It would have been impossible without the achievements of a magic thesis like the one written by Ban Yu-won and Aire, but thanks to it being established as an official institution, he was able to be reborn as a representative student of the Magic Combat Department and a freshman in the Artifact Creation Department.
* * *
The S-class dimensional spaceship was different from the start.
“This is the spaceship that was built just for you, Aire.”
“Yuwon, do you like this?”
“uh…….”
Ban Yu-won stutters as he feels like he will say that he will give it to her as a gift if she likes it.
At that moment, Misty suddenly popped her head out from behind him and shouted with her cheeks turning red.
“Aire, thank you so much for taking us on a ride… … ! It was hard to even reserve a spaceship ticket, but really. I’m so glad you spoke to me first… … .”
“Misty, you booked a first place ticket and then cancelled it.”
“Be quiet, Le Sue.”
There were four people currently aboard Aire’s spaceship: Aire, Ban Yu-won, Misty, and Le Shu, who were also from Melodia.
Then why are they taking a spaceship to return home during the vacation instead of using Union’s space travel?
Ban Yu-won didn’t know this until now, but it is said that among the S-class dimensions, there are many who do not like the Union Academy’s technology that interferes with space even deep within the dimension.
If you think about it, it’s obvious.
Aren’t there many dimensions that are so concerned about defense, and that are on guard and attack the moment they cross the dimensional wall?
But it would have been strange if he had liked the Union’s magic that could read the coordinates inside the planet and send students there.
So, in most S-rank levels, when selecting students, it was common to send only student candidates of the appropriate age through a specially-made barrier, and have them return home via spaceship rather than Union during vacation.
Since most students who are at the S-rank level come from well-off families, they are usually given spaceship tickets, and students who receive generous support like Aire sometimes even have a spaceship come pick them up all the way to Union Academy.
[Master, this is awesome! Especially the cockpit… …! Could you please take a little bit and feed it to me?]
‘I’m grateful just to be able to figure out the structure and copy it.’
Ban Yu-won looked out the spaceship window, lamenting his sudden fate of becoming an industrial spy.
Aire’s spaceship was already preparing to break through the dimensional wall, having entered it at a speed comparable to that of the release. It had not even been 30 minutes since it entered the dimensional wall.
“It’s Melody soon.”
Aire spoke calmly and sat down next to Ban Yu-won.
While Misty glared at Ban Yu-won with an expression that was more like envy than hatred, Aire leaned her head gently on his shoulder and said.
“May the dragon’s homeland please you.”
The spaceship broke through the dimensional wall.
In the space, a star was seen that contained so much mana that it gave off a light so bright it was blinding.
For a moment I suspected it was a star, but it wasn’t.
That is the planet that serves as the center of the S-9 dimension, Melodia.
It was a star that Aire called the home of dragons.
