Admission is a waste of time (338)
Lesson 66. Irregular – 4
Ulrike Prominence shed tears of blood as she cancelled the top-floor suite at Ronika’s luxury hotel that she had reserved after mobilizing her family’s power for the first time in a long time.
“I curse you, my lord. When I die one day, you will think that your grave will already be prepared, do you understand?”
“Oh, so who told you to book a hotel while exhaling prominence? How scared must you have been that you contacted our family directly, huh?”
The one answering her laughed shamelessly and pierced her heart with his words.
As Ulrike was vowing to herself that she would definitely find and deal with the employee who had directly contacted the family, surprisingly, the head of the teenage family Prominence, Ban Yumi – Yumi Prominence, who had visited the Union in person, suddenly changed her smiling face into a bitter smile.
“I didn’t come here to disturb you. It’s important, so I came here myself. My little brother’s position isn’t that easy anymore. This isn’t something you can just send a text saying, “I understand this,” and ask me to buy some Melona when I come over.”
“It’s something I can’t even imagine, considering the way you usually treat Yuwon. Is there anyone in the world who treats him more lightly than anyone else?”
Then Ban Yu-mi frowned slightly, looked around to see if anyone was listening, and leaned her face close to Ulrike and whispered.
“Are you stupid? Yuwon is the most precious to me. He’s the heaviest, do you understand?”
The two beauties, with their red hair and eyes, and similar facial features, as if they were cousins for no reason, stood face to face, and all eyes were drawn to them.
Ulrike, who knew full well that provoking a family member would bring out such a reaction, laughed as she checked to see if the line that Ban Yumi had just said was recorded properly.
This is how much I vented my anger.
“Oh, here you come.”
“Ban-Yu-Won? … … What, it’s a girl.”
Ban Yu-mi’s eyes narrowed as she raised her head in delight and spotted a woman walking towards her wearing oriental clothing.
Clothes that cling tightly to the body are something that you can’t even think about unless you have confidence in your lines, but Ban Yu-mi was annoyed by the tempting proportions that went beyond the level of suiting and drew everyone’s attention.
When did that bastard Ban Yu-won seduce a woman like that?
Plus, it even has beast ears and a tail, which brings back memories!
As Ban Yu-mi recalls the past when she was shown off for the first time when her younger brother had a relationship with a woman and cried while hiding under the blanket, she was suffering from a recurring trauma, and Ulrike explained to her about her.
“They say she’s a new maid from the martial arts world, and judging by the way she’s walking now, she seems stronger than me, not weaker.”
Ban Yu-mi, who had been groaning, opened her mouth wide when she heard those words.
Martial arts? Since when have water elements been added to martial arts?
“In the martial arts world I know, there are only old men who fly around in the sky and shoot wind.”
“That is a huge prejudice.”
The moment Heukseol noticed the two people, he quickly closed the distance and reached them. He let out a small laugh and then bowed his head politely as he spoke.
“This is Heukseol, who serves the leader of the Banyuwon. The leader is waiting, so please follow me.”
“Hideout?”
“you’re right.”
Ulrike, who had been secretly thinking of sending her off early and going on a date with Ban Yu-won even a little bit when Ban Yu-mi came to Union to meet her younger brother in person, gave up on the sweet date at this point.
On the other hand, Ban Yu-mi, who had been planning to quickly send Ulrike back to the academy and secure some time with her younger sister, was also unhappy with this situation.
“The person you serve is your status, so it is for your safety.”
“Anyway, everyone on this street will recognize me… … Ugh, I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
“then.”
And what Heukseol took out was a beautiful long sword.
There was no time to misunderstand whether it had all been an act and that he was trying to cut us down?! The waves emitted by the sword engulfed the three.
The next moment, a teleportation occurred, transporting the three into the hideout.
Ban Yu-won, who was sipping tea while being held in Yumina’s arms, smiled brightly at the sight of the new arrivals and then broke away from her embrace.
“ah!”
“Guests are here, so please stop now.”
“But Yuwon is so special… … .”
“Ha, this woman.”
Ban Yumi glared at Yumina fiercely, holding a spark in her hand.
“You’re talking shit to my little brother right in front of me. I guess the teenage family must have found it quite funny.”
“Oh my, I thought you weren’t my biological sibling?”
As two women with similar names confronted each other, sparks flying, Ban Yu-won received the Storm Sword, a sword that shared his powers with Heukseol, and turned around, putting it in his inventory.
“Let’s talk about our work. I have something new to tell you. Aire?”
“huh.”
Ban Yumi, who had been attracted to Yumina, only then realized that all the Rebellion members were gathered inside the hideout.
But as Aire’s explanation began and the events they had experienced at the tower that day began to spill out, Ban Yumi could no longer afford to engage in petty fights.
“So, you’re saying that enemies like the True Dragon or something… that might be stronger than the constellations might appear?”
“Usually when you hear news like this, he’ll show up in person later. So, yeah. I think that’ll happen.”
Things got complicated.
Hadn’t Ban Yu-won already been ordering Selden to search for the keyword Jinryong?
It was just a means to provoke the teenage families, but if things continued this way, it could easily provoke a group that aims to revive the True Dragon.
It was fortunate that he had chosen the indirect method of using dimensional pirates――but if things went wrong, he had to save Selden.
“Just know for now. The kids and I will figure this out.”
“Okay, then back to the main point――”
Clarent, a teenage family famous for their swords.
Prominence’s conclusion to Ban Yu-won’s bold proposal to make the unexpected request for sparring into an event that would involve all of the teenage families was ‘yes’.
“Even old people like it. In fact, it’s a good place to show off the newly renovated Prominence.”
“Prominence has reopened after renovation… … .”
Ulrike seemed to want to tackle Banyumi’s tone quite a bit, but Banyumi paid no attention and continued talking.
“But what’s strange is that when we relayed this fact to each of the teenage families, including Clarent―― they all immediately agreed, as if it had been planned in advance.”
“really?”
“Ortima was the only one who showed signs of being bothered, but he gave me the okay the next day.”
I know that.

Because it was Ban Yu-won himself who told Lucien and Louisa to persuade the family.
But no matter what, the reactions of the rest of the families were too dramatic… … .
Could it be that, like Clarent, they were all paying attention to Ban Yu-won from the beginning?
As he stared blankly at Aire, she nodded.
“I told the Melodia family.”
“Then are they all really coming? Ten… no, all nine families?”
“huh.”
Although they are called the Ten Clans, there are only nine Ten Clans currently existing in the universe.
The reason why everyone is keeping quiet and cannot speak freely is because the S-10 dimension ceased to exist 500 years ago…
“No, ten.”
Yumina spoke quietly and grabbed one of Ban Yuwon’s hands.
“I’m going too.”
“……huh?”
“If that’s what Sister Mina is like, then what.”
“Huh? Huh?”
“You should understand this, my lord. This means that the representatives of all ten families are present.”
“ah?!”
Only then did Ban Yu-mi properly realize Yumina’s true identity and she was speechless with a bewildered expression.
Those who experienced Yumina’s home dimension from inside the tower just this week, having experienced the overwhelmingly dense atmosphere unique to that dimension, already had a vague idea that the place――the Garden of the Four Seasons―was an S-rank dimension.
Ban Yu-won, who had heard that story directly from Yumina long before, understood why Yumina was receiving attention from many people in the universe not only because she was the adopted daughter of the president and a full professor at Union Academy, but also because of her personal existence――.
Well, that didn’t make any difference.
The reason Yumina said she would attend the gathering of the teenage families was simply to add what little symbolism she had left to Ban Yu-won.
Yeah, symbolism.
Now that the entire dimension of origin has been blown away, how much influence would Yumina actually have, let alone the teenage family, whether she symbolized the entire S-10 dimension or not?
The fact that she was attending this gathering simply meant that the last of the teenage families who had been swallowed up by a terrible dimensional disaster and saved by the Union’s president was not to be taken lightly, since the person she had chosen as her partner was Ban Yu-won.
“So it’s already 40% complete… … ?!”
Ban Yu-mi made a shocked expression and muttered something incomprehensible, but Ban Yu-won desperately ignored her words.
No, more than that, it’s incredibly cute how he includes himself in it as if it were so natural.
Ban Yu-won asked with a sigh.
“Then the schedule would have been set quickly, right?”
“Next Friday.”
“You got caught so quickly… … .”
The replies sent from each family were placed before Ban Yu-won’s eyes, who was sticking out his tongue in amazement.
Of course, Ortima, Melodia, and Clarent have already been mentioned.
Fides, Selene, Prydwen, Amor… … and finally Hecate.
Aside from the fact that there were words here and there that Ban Yu-won would know, the last family name particularly caught my attention.
“That’s right, it’s the family my advisor, Professor Hecate, is from.”
Ulrike smiled bitterly as she saw Ban Yu-won’s eyes fixated on the letter from the Hecate family.
Now she also knows that she was treated as Professor Clio Hecate’s pawn, but she has come to terms with the fact that she was just being foolish.
However, after the incident ended, I had not been in contact with her at all, and Professor Hecate had not contacted her either, perhaps because she had achieved what she wanted.
“I knew that the reason Professor Hecate was so popular with students from teenage families was because she had a noble origin just like them.”
“Professor Hecate is said to have had a huge conflict with her family while attending the Academy, and then dedicated herself to the Academy. However, her authority was not damaged… … Even students from somewhat arrogant teenage families tend to get what she says.”
“No way, no way, it’s already 50%… … ?!”
“Wake up, you crazy sister.”
Clio Hecate is a being whose age is unknown and whose body is wrapped in bandages.
All I know is that my gender is female. So what?
“Besides, I have no idea what that person’s purpose is, so I have to be wary. I used to think he was an enemy of the Ten Clans, but I found out that he was actually from the Ten Clans. If I think about it, maybe he just wanted to help me, but then I worry that he would have stayed at the Academy for hundreds of years and communicated with the president… … .”
Woohoo, the mirror vibrated.
It was Ulrike Prominence’s.
Ban Yu-mi, who had a gut feeling about something, reached out and said.
“Hey, wait a minute, I feel really uneasy.”
“Me too, my lord. But I still need to check. Maybe the hotel I just cancelled my reservation with just got a call saying it couldn’t be cancelled… … .”
Ulrike checked the mirror while muttering her personal hopes, and then frowned.
“It seems like Professor Hecate has succeeded in her prediction again. She also wants to attend the meeting.”
“Let’s ignore it.”
“A full professor at the Academy?”
“Can’t you nag at that guy called the president?”
“You’re saying that the president might be behind this guy right now.”
The group all sighed in unison.
In addition, right after that, the suite that Ulrike had reserved received a notification saying, ‘Reservations cannot be cancelled, but up to five people can stay in the room,’ so an impromptu death match broke out between the female members, excluding Ban Yu-won, but that wasn’t really important.
