Lesson 67. Teen Family Meeting – 5
The man who greeted Ban Yu-won was of an unusual status, as evidenced by his level as a full professor at Union Academy. He was the head of the Fides family, one of the ten great families.
Fides, a Latin word meaning trust, is also the name of the goddess of faith and promise in Roman mythology.
In other words, this man approached me with the word “faith” written on his forehead.
It couldn’t get any more award-winning than this.
“Haha, I thought that was the case since the Prominence family didn’t deny it out loud. Fairy Tail and Prominence have had their share of conflicts recently. I think it would be nice to have a woman representing both dimensions marry one man in order to achieve harmony.”
“Because we are so close, like real siblings… … I guess his playful side kicked in.”
I want to go sew Yumi Prominence’s mouth shut right now, but now is not the time to worry about my sister’s cute manipulation of public opinion.
Ban Yu-won focused his power on just one person in front of him and tried to read everything about them in detail.
Of course, on the outside he acts calm and generous.
It is not strange for an opponent to be cut down and die while you are standing still, because that is the ultimate skill of the Origin Sword.
Isn’t his Origin Sword something that can compress all actions that can be performed by swinging a sword, calculate all cause and effect values from cause to effect in an instant for any situation――and make it a reality as it is?
‘Isn’t this cool, it looks like a sword?’
―He loses his temper and says that he shouldn’t give the name of the highest realm to the supernatural sword technique that was created by relying so thoroughly on the innate power of the Eye of Death.
Oh, so cute.
It’s like you’re flirting and exchanging messages while in a long-distance relationship.
When Ban Yu-won suddenly burst into laughter, the Fides family head who had been talking to him flinched and stepped back.
“Wh, what the… … all of a sudden?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was just thinking of something funny and I forgot to mention it.”
It was something I didn’t intend, but thanks to it, I was able to read it clearly.
Fear, caution.
The head of the Fides family, which rules the S-4 dimension, was suspicious and wary of Ban Yu-won, whose only real identity was that he was the Union Academy student council president and the fiancé of the fairy princess.
I know.
I know enough about the secrets surrounding Ban Yu-won, Top, and the Daesin clan to be able to establish Ban Yu-won and their relationship, if not all of it.
‘They think of me as an enemy.’
I had a rough idea that it would be like that, but it was disappointing when it actually turned out to be true.
This is because there were some expectations for the ten families that were once the ancestors’ descendants.
But what is this? Contrary to the ancestors’ expectations, the president will not remain friendly to him until the end as he tries to destroy the tower, and the teenage families, not knowing that he is different from the ancestors, will only try to kill him.
Even the group of people who inherited the legacy of Jinryong and held a grudge against his ancestors and the tower master would not hesitate to attack him.
‘I don’t know how things got so twisted.’
―The eyes of death comfort you, saying that the throne is originally filled with thick blood.
Yeah, well, it’s okay since I’ve regained my connection with Dokgoyeon.
He sent the Fides family away, seemingly with a smile on his face.
As soon as we finished greeting each other, he walked away at a brisk pace, so it seemed like he was completely intimidated by him.
“But I’m still so scared.”
“Everyone knows that Yuwon is strong, but… … maybe they realized that he was hiding his strength.”
“I don’t like it when you say it like that because it makes me sound like I’m being suffocated… … .”
After the Fides family retreated so feebly, for a while everyone just watched him from afar.
At least in Union Academy, he had long been an untouchable powerhouse, so it felt strange to feel these eyes watching and observing him.
At that exact moment, Ban Yumi, the head of the Melodia family, and the head of the Ortima family simultaneously moved towards him.
It was natural for Ban Yumi to take care of him, and the Melodia family head had no choice but to come to take care of Aire, who was with him, regardless of her feelings for Ban Yuwon, and the Ortima family head deputy looked like he had something he wanted to say to the successor of the family that brought him to this position.
The first to arrive was Ban Yu-mi, who was in the most hurry.
“Are you here, Yuwon?”
“… … Yes, Prominence Gaju.”
Seeing his older sister’s soft and authoritative expression and her friendly tone for the first time in his life, Ban Yu-won wanted to turn around right now, pour out everything inside him, and give his older sister a beating, but he held back his feelings.
Sister, you’re not doing this because you want to, be aware of the people in this place… … !
“I know it was a sudden request, but thank you for coming.”
In fact, if you look at her appearance as well as her speech, she now looks quite different from Ban Yu-won, even a little strange.
Is it because the blood of Prominence has truly awakened, and especially because he has ascended to the position of Gaju and is connected to all Prominences through his power?
A face that shines with intense and mature beauty, with red hair and red eyes.
Wearing a splendid evening dress with a flame-shaped emblem that proved her status as the head of the Prominence, it was impossible to imagine that she was the same woman who, just a few years ago, had crawled into Ban Yu-won’s room every day off and rolled around on the bed in a sagging shirt.
“I heard Clarent wanted me, so I should come.”
“The duel will be held soon. We must show the power of the newly risen Prominence.”
“Do you have a list?”
“It’s our company, so don’t be so formal. I’ll give it to you.”
No, but is it possible that this woman is trying to advance their relationship a little in a public setting right now…?
Ban Yu-won ignored her words and glanced at the people who were probably Clarent’s people watching them from afar.
Just by looking at the swords each of them had on their waists, you could tell where they were from, but they were sending a murderous intent sharper than the swords straight at me… … .
It seemed like they had no intention of hiding their true identity.
“Thank you all for coming to the Prominence. There is also a banquet planned, so I hope you all have a great time.”
Ban Yu-mi must have felt those gazes as well, but she calmly ignored them, as if her natural courage had not gone anywhere, and greeted Ban Yu-won and his group.
She clashed with those she knew well with gazes filled with tingling determination, and gave a wary look to Luisia, whom she saw for the first time, like a burglar. Eventually, she stopped looking at Yumina, who was dressed up so beautifully that it took her breath away.
“you…….”
“I came today as a representative of a fallen family. There is someone I want to give some strength to.”
“A ruined family… … .”
You must have heard it in advance.
Even if that weren’t the case, it would be impossible not to know that the same intense gazes were being poured on Yumi as on Ban Yuwon.

It was certainly a good thing for her younger sister, but was it also a good thing for her? At that moment, when Ban Yu-mi was locking eyes with Yu-mi’s strong-willed eyes in the air.
“Mr. Aire.”
“house owner.”
Meanwhile, the Melodia family approached them.
He slightly lowered his head to Aire because he was under the gaze of others, exchanged greetings with Ban Yu-mi, and then fixed his gaze on Ban Yu-won.
“You became a monster in a short period of time. It’s a miracle that only humans can achieve. Did you get what you wanted?”
“Not yet. Thanks for coming.”
“It’s not because of you. I came here because I thought I’d have a good time. And… …I always want Lady Aire to be safe.”
As he said that, Gaju looked out the hotel window.
Nothing is revealed in the pitch-black sky… … Wait?
While he was thinking about the meaning, Melodia’s family gave Yumina a gaze full of deep meaning, just like Ban Yumi had done.
“It looks like you’ve completely chosen your path.”
“Yes, maybe it was decided from the moment I met this child.”
“If that is fate… … I hope our paths do not diverge.”
“No, wait, what do you mean you two came here to make sure you’re safe and not having a meaningful conversation?”
“Luisha… … !”
Just as he was about to ask a question after sensing something was off about the head of the household, the head of the Ortima family, walking with a leisurely and relaxed gait, called out to Ban Yu-won’s junior in a low voice that sounded like it was boiling from the depths of hell.
From the beginning, it was already obvious that this was going to completely ignore prominence and melodica.
“There’s going to be a lot to explain… … !”
The Melodia family left as if they had met someone they didn’t want to associate with, and Ban Yu-mi was laughing as if it was refreshing to see someone completely ignoring her.
“Even if you don’t like me, the remaining candidates are not worth choosing a new successor, Uncle.”
Louisa said that and smiled mischievously.
“As the successor of Ortima, this is something I have chosen to do after seeing the future of my family. Would you please support me now?”
“The future of the family?”
The head of the household who asked that question glanced at Ban Yu-won.
Ban Yu-won quickly analyzed him――and was a little surprised.
Raw 3,500.
This is because, although he was clearly only a substitute for the head of the family, he was much stronger than the head of the family of Fides.
Even the moment he saw Ban Yu-won, he boldly tried to analyze him, and when Ban Yu-won rejected it, he immediately tried to defend himself from being read.
Of course, it was destroyed easily, but even so, the way it used its powers was similar enough to make one understand what it meant that Ortima inherited the bloodline of the tower.
‘but yet.’
The brief battle just now has made it clear what they lack.
These are the concepts of integration that the top lords had.
Interpret language.
He did not inherit the power to interpret language.
So, a detailed and deep exploration of power became impossible.
“Huh… … ?!”
As the representative of the Ortima family, who dared to call themselves the best in the universe and ruled over the S-2 dimension, it must have been quite a shock to find yourself pushed aside by a much younger junior.
Nevertheless, he showed his experience as a representative of the family.
If it were the old Lucien Ortima, he would have thrown a fit and shot something right away, but he quickly sorted out his confused emotions and took a step back.
“Luisha, I respect your decision as your successor. At least I am convinced. You have an eye for detail.”
“Thank you for saying so, Grandfather.”
“You’re reading the layout of this place, right? It’s dangerous.”
“Ortima does not back down.”
“Okay, then I’ll join you. But you have to catch it.”
“Of course.”
Even though I was clearly hearing it in terms that I could understand entirely through the power of language, I still couldn’t quite understand what was being said.
Deputy Gaju changed his attitude and bowed his head slightly to Ban Yu-won.
“Please take good care of our family’s successor, Ban Yu-won of the Union. … … And Lucain, it’s good to see the change in your eyes.”
“ah……?!”
It seemed that Lucien was also confused at the moment.
Lucien, who was bewildered by the development that was going in a slightly different direction than she had expected, looked back at Louisa with wavering eyes, but she was just smiling.
Finally, he also looked at Yumina, but unlike the Melodia family, he seemed to have little interest in a person from a dimension that had already been destroyed, and left with only a low grunt.
“What, Ortima just started a fight with Prominence? You arranged a meeting between Ban Yu-won and another woman in front of me? How dare you… …?”
Ban Yu-mi wiggled her eyebrows as she watched the back of the Ortima family leader, who was leisurely leaving unlike when he had come.
Ban Yu-won responded in disbelief.
“Sister, you must be getting angry for no reason.”
“Shh, no one will hear. Call me by a different name.”
“I really hate this family.”
Ulrike muttered, sobbing.
Ban Yu-won also agreed.
However, no matter what, it is true that the possibility of becoming hostile to Ortima in this place has completely disappeared.
If the Ortima family, who are always arrogant and boastful but are strong enough to deserve it, join us as allies, even if only to a limited extent, we can be considered much safer.
“First of all, the three families have definitely turned to our allies.”
“Why are you so combative, Yuwon? Why can’t we just have a good meeting and end it?”
“They definitely don’t seem to have any intention of doing that.”
Ban Yu-won snickered at Asha’s words and looked through the list Ban Yu-mi had handed him.
Since it would be meaningless to just find out the names of people I never knew before, I focused on their positions within their families and the abilities they revealed to the public…
“… … The head of the household is coming out? Is this true?”
“So I’m going out too.”
Ban Yu-mi answered with a smile.
I could understand that my older sister was going to the training because it was to properly introduce the new Prominence… … Of course, I could also understand that the head of the household was coming from the other side to match the level.
“But why am I fighting with that nobleman?”
“Because you are stronger than me.”
Now, even being quiet has become a bother, Ban Yu-won said, putting up a barrier around himself.
In the process, something was naturally discovered: information about those who were using some kind of power to gather information on them.
In the process of blocking interference, the root of the line that was already connected was identified.
“Hecate… Selene?”
Rio and Yumina, who had been quietly following them, flinched one by one at Ban Yu-won’s muttering.
“I have a feeling this will turn out to be a much more complicated meeting than I initially thought,” Ban Yu-won said, frowning.
―The eyes of death smell the thick scent of death. I warn you that many will die here today.
“No, don’t suddenly start talking like a constellation at this time, it’s scary.”
―The eyes of death look at you in horror and laugh.
Thirty minutes later, with all the boards laid out, the duel between the Prominence and Clarent families finally began.
