Admission is a waste of time (339)
Lesson 67. Teen Family Meeting – 1
Of course, the talk of the Teen Clans having a meeting was kept completely secret, but since there were many S-ranked students in the Academy, and some of them had even been to the Teen Clans, word of the Teen Clans’ meeting eventually began to spread.
The fact that the central figure was Ban Yu-won was an S-class dimension… …so it was a very shocking thing even for the students from the Special Class.
“It seems like the universe revolves around that senior.”
“You’re really amazing. You came from a world where there was no mana? How did you become so strong?”
“Lady Luishia, aren’t you close with the Chairman? Do you hear stories about the past from him? Yes?”
The tendency of special class students to look down on Ban Yu-won became weaker as they went down in grades, and among them, the first-year students who heard Ban Yu-won’s welcoming speech at this year’s entrance ceremony did not look down on him, but rather became his followers.
It wasn’t like he had nothing back in his first year, and he already had his foot in the door of several teenage families, so it seemed like he would probably marry someone from one of the teenage families after he graduated from the academy.
If that happens, wouldn’t other S-rank students, who aren’t even from the teenage family, have to treat him like their superior?
No one would blame you for starting it a little early!
“I heard that Ulrike Prominence, a fifth-grade student, also went on a date with the president in downtown Ronika last Sunday.”
“Oh my, I heard something different. The Prominence family was there!”
“Gyaaaah!”
“Lady Luishia, Lady Luishia! Then, will the Chairman marry the head of Prominence?”
“Could this be a common marriage?!”
“Euuuuum.”
Luisia Ortima coughed in a somewhat ambiguous voice to let the girls in Class 1, Year 1, or Special Class, know that she was uncomfortable and was surrounded by chattering voices.
She smiled softly and said to her friends who all stopped talking and became quiet.
“As far as I know, the only person confirmed to marry him is the fairy princess of Fairy Tail.”
So, what I meant was to tell them not to talk about other women, but unfortunately, the female students became even more enraged after hearing that.
“Ah, Professor Mira!”
“I saw you in passing, and you were truly beautiful.”
“You graduated this year and immediately took up the position of associate professor. How great must your abilities be――.”
“By the way, Professor Shati is also a graduate this year?”
“He’s a full professor, right?!”
“Besides, I heard that he also has a connection with the chairman… … .”
“Oh my god!”
“Ahem!”
Louisa cleared her throat again.
“Anyway, I think it would be best not to let the story about the teenage family reunion spread far and wide. You understand?”
“Yes, of course!”
“I’ll be careful, Lady Louisa!”
However, it didn’t take long for this conversation to be repeated several times a day among students and eventually spread throughout the school.
Eventually, ridiculous rumors began to spread, such as that this meeting of the teenage families was a place to discuss which family to take Ban Yu-won from, and that each family had agreed to offer one of their direct female descendants as a concubine for Ban Yu-won.
“Would King Taejo Wang Geon have felt this way?”
Ban Yu-won stood in the center of a space filled with gears, looking up at a giant stone monument with the name of his loved one written on it, and muttered quietly.
-He asks what it feels like to have the eyes of death.
“I feel like I want to throw everything away and run away.”
―The eyes of death scoff at him, telling him not to lie, even though he had no intention of doing so.
“It’s true.”
Ban Yu-won added with a bitter smile that had been stuck on his lips for two years.
“If only you were by my side, maybe it would have been like that.”
―The eyes of death cover the reddened face, telling you not to tell lies that won’t even eat a seed.
Even if you don’t cover it, you won’t be able to see it, so why cover it?
No, really, it would be good if you showed your face little by little.
“Ah―― Then let’s start right away.”
Ban Yu-won, who had been forcibly suppressing the weakness that was about to burst out of his mouth, pulled himself together and thrust Myeol-yeom forward.
This time, Dokgo Yeon proposed to restore balance to the sword, which had lost its balance due to being heavily imbued with the concepts of disconnection and extinction at the top, by breathing in his own death.
It wasn’t all that surprising, since constellations that had been cultivating their power for a long time and had many contractors had created many artifacts in this way.
―The Eyes of Death begin to pour their power into the sword you are holding… … .
Of course, she has the disadvantage of not having much power to handle as she is a new constellation.
It wasn’t about creating an artifact from scratch, but rather just adding a little bit of power to an already completed item. And even then, there wasn’t a problem because Ban Yu-won personally found the closest place to the constellation to reduce the loss of power.
―Death’s eyes take a deep breath and calm down.
“Thank you. I think I’ll be okay now.”
Ban Yu-won added his own strength to refine the flame and confirmed the information.
Extinction [Flame Demon Sword 4,500, Severance 1,300, Death 1,300, Extinction 1,300, Extinction 600]
Originally, the stigmata that were added to her power should have been inscribed on the sword as well, but Ban Yu-won intentionally removed them in the middle, and instead added the concept of extinction to preserve the sword’s identity.
Not long after the sword was completed, its depth jumped another thousand, so if Cheonma saw this sword, he would be quite surprised.
He muttered softly as he swept away the blade of destruction, which had become even more intense and its momentum had become overwhelming.
“If only I could fuse this with Requiem again… … .”
―The Eyes of Death admonish you to only handle your weapons to the extent that you can handle them.
“Okay, I said I got it.”
He glared at the tombstone as if he was going to swing his sword, then he put his sword away, sighed, and left the tower.
He had someone else to meet today.
Enter the main building of the academy and go up the spiral staircase to the 6th floor.
As he circled around, his destination suddenly appeared before his eyes.
It was the laboratory of Clio Hecate, a full professor in the Department of Occult Studies.

“Come in, I’ve been waiting.”
“Then let’s go in.”
Clio Hecate welcomed him back as she had two years ago.
Of course, the appearance was the same as two years ago, in a mummy state, but the purple eyes visible between the bandages seemed even more blurry than before, which was a little creepy.
“Hehe, it’s just the aftereffects of using my power. You don’t need to worry about it.”
“I heard that you are now in a position where you can no longer exert influence on the family.”
Ban Yu-won, who was afraid that he would become possessed if he talked to this woman for too long, decided to get straight to the point.
Clio Hecate smiled meaningfully and shrugged her shoulders as she poured the tea in front of him.
“But it is possible to force yourself into that position. I am worried. It seems like you are trying to rush things――.”
“Is it your concern for your students as a professor? Or your concern for your comrades as an enemy of the teenage family? Or is it the president’s… .”
“I am.”
Clio Hecate interrupted Ban Yu-won in a somewhat impassioned tone.
“I am not the president’s subordinate. Since I met you, I have never acted on his behalf.”
“Is it just that our goals coincide?”
“Surprisingly, I used to believe that, but now I don’t.”
“What if it was the past?”
“That’s when I decided to trust him and put my trust in the Union.”
Clio Hecate suddenly removed the bandages covering her face.
Naturally smooth brown skin, wavy hair the same shade of purple as her eyes, and lips painted in purple.
What was revealed was the appearance of a beautiful woman who was so beautiful that it made one wonder why she had been hidden until now, but honestly, this was something I had expected from the time she had kept her appearance completely hidden.
Ban Yu-won was even more surprised to see the bandage covering her face expand greatly and cover the entire room.
The concept was immediately recognizable.
“This is… … concealment.”
“That’s correct. You wouldn’t have recognized it two years ago, but you’ve really improved a lot.”
wait for a sec.
Did your tone change just now?
Before Ban Yu-won could say anything, Clio Hecate took off her robes and quietly prostrated herself before Ban Yu-won.
As he tried to help her up, unable to handle the rapid pace of events, she bowed her head even deeper and said:
“The descendant of a lowly servant meets the master of the tower.”
“ah–.”
Ban Yu-won stopped the hand that was trying to raise her in midair.
Descendants of the vassal.
Master of the tower.
It was a word that proved the hypothesis he had been thinking about for some time.
“So you are… … ?”
“Yes. I am a descendant of the clan created by your ancestor, the Lord of the Tower.”
And Clio Hecate, who confirms it without fail.
Ban Yu-won sighed deeply and said.
“No, just get up. It’s burdensome.”
“I am your servant. You don’t have to feel burdened.”
“It’s burdensome because you’re suddenly doing this when you weren’t like this before.”
“It is because I hid my identity and the secret history of my family from you, because you would have missed many opportunities if you had realized my existence early.”
“Professor Hecate――.”
“Rio, please call me Rio. It’s a nickname I only allow for those close to me.”
The moment he heard that, the image that flashed through Ban Yu-won’s mind was the face of his older sister who had been shocked last Sunday and said, “Can it really be 50% already…?!”
No, isn’t this the situation where the 50% mark is reached regardless of Ban Yoo-won’s will?
“Okay, then Rio.”
“I’m so happy. It’s been 800 years since I’ve been called that.”
Unlike Yumina, Rio has no hesitation in mentioning his age.
She was so confident that even Ban Yu-won began to think that 800 years was nothing special.
Ban Yu-won took a sip of the tea placed in front of him and spoke again.
“Anyway, get up. It’s uncomfortable to stay hunched over like that.”
“If you so command, I will understand.”
Rio sat up in the chair.
Ban Yu-won felt the bandages covering the room squirming here and there, and he wanted to ask why she usually had her whole body wrapped in bandages, but he suppressed that thought for the time being.
“Do all the members of your family know? That is, that your family is related to the owner of the tower?”
“If I may speak only of the Hecate family, then yes. The family has been well-versed in magic since ancient times, and magic is the bond that connects the past and the present.”
Clio Hecate’s proficiency in sorcery can be seen from the fact that she is a professor in the Department of Occult Studies.
In fact, if Ban Yu-won had not had a firm intention to advance to the Artifact Creation Department, he might have chosen the Department of Occult Studies to develop the concept of sorcery, which was a large part of his concept.
“Limited to the Hecate family?”
“In the case of other families of the Ten Great Families, many have already forgotten that fact. Ortima is a prime example of this, having dared to covet the seed of the Master of the Tower, and now even abandoning their past names and using a monstrous name to act as their ruler.”
Here, Ban Yu-won, who had heard another shocking story, grabbed his dizzy head.
No, of course I had thought before that our abilities were similar.
So, if you look at it broadly, are you saying that Lucien Ortima and that bastard are related by blood?!
But if you look into it closely, it’s definitely not the same ability?!
“Because they lack legitimacy, they are not able to fully inherit the authority. They are half-breeds. Unlike the master before my eyes.”
“Please call me something else.”
“If that’s the case, then I dare to give it to you out of respect for the Lord of all things――.”
“Let’s do it by name.”
“Mr. Yuwon.”
Rio continued with a smile.
“If things continue this way, Yu-won will be murdered at the gathering of the teenage families. Just like the past owner of the tower was stabbed in the back by his followers.”
