Admission is a waste of time (344)
Lesson 67. Teen Family Meeting – 6
Some of the teenage families at this gathering might have thought this way.
Even if it started out as a conversation about sparring, once all the teenage families gathered together, Clarent and Prominence would never openly reveal this to each other.
“Then, we will now begin the friendly duel between Prominence and Clarent.”
But that was a very weak judgment.
Clarent didn’t seem to have any intention of sticking his teeth out, and the current head of the Prominence family, Ban Yu-mi, wasn’t the type to leave alone someone who started a fight.
Especially since they were risking people more precious than their own lives, I would have to keep biting them until they cried and begged for my life before I would feel satisfied.
“The one in charge of the progress and guidance is me, Aneri Dedota, the first-ranking retainer of the Prominence family.”
No, Aneri has never participated without any gaps.
Ban Yu-won was dumbfounded as he watched Aneri’s soft voice fill the restaurant.
Plus, it was a bit annoying that Heukseol kept making her feel competitive.
“The judge is Clio Hecate, a prestigious full professor at the Union Academy who has been specially invited for today.”
“Okay, then.”
Ban Yu-won’s confusion deepened as he watched Rio suddenly rise from his side.
Clearly, to others, it seems like a classy and even fair personnel appointment!
“No, when did you ever accept something like that?”
“Because we are both Platinum members. Then I will see you down below.”
As Ban Yu-won wrapped his head and watched Rio leave with a mysterious smile, many eyes were focused on him from the side.
It was obvious that Ban Yu-won was concerned that she was being spoken to informally.
Ruchel said quietly.
“Should we invite Professor Hecate to the meeting as well?”
“No, he’s a bit different… … That’s true, but he calls himself a servant.”
“Aha, then he can be a little less nervous.”
As Ruchel put the mirror back into her arms with obvious relief, Luishia, who had been listening to their conversation from the side, was curious about what on earth she wanted to do with the mirror and what the meeting meant, but was stopped by Lucain, who had decided to seriously mark Luishia due to what had happened earlier.
“Don’t worry about useless things, Louisa.”
“I don’t think it’s useless. Wouldn’t it be better to share information that can be shared with each other… …!”
“I think so too… … It’s nothing, Miss.”
Heukseol, who was not invited to Ruchel’s gathering, secretly chimed in with Louisa, but was caught by Dokgoyeon for no reason and closed his mouth again.
The structure of one of the large halls was rearranged by the sorcerer of the Ortima family to fit the purpose of a sparring hall, and the members of the ten families took their seats, their expressions uncertain as to whether this was the right thing to do.
“With the Sword of Clarent and the Flame of Prominence, there is certainly nothing better for entertainment.”
“It’s too much, it’s too much.”
“I don’t know if Prominence can prove its worth.”
“Clarent… … I was anxious. I don’t know what will happen.”
“You said it was urgent? It’s too late. But I guess I was the most courageous.”
Ban Yu-won sat down and rested his chin on his elbow, half-listening to the voices of people chattering here and there as if trying to overhear them.
Think about the names of your teenage family and their origins.
Amor, Ortima, Clarent, Fides, Selene, Hecate, Prominence, Prydwen, Melodia.
and…….
“Juventa.”
Half of the people in the hall are still looking at Ban Yoo-won and his party.
To be exact, to Yumina, who was keeping her seat next to Ban Yu-won with a calm and elegant smile.
The tension that had been rising as if it was going to explode the moment Ban Yu-won appeared was clearly suppressed by Yumina’s presence.
Because even though the dimension was destroyed, she still had enormous symbolism, ‘value’.
‘The tremendous power that supported the S-class dimension of the teenage family still remains, and it will be passed down through Mina’s bloodline.’
Yumina has never been able to leave the academy without the president’s permission, but now she can act freely.
To put it bluntly, it means that a product of enormous value called Yumina has been released into the market.
But how will others perceive her when she clings to Ban Yu-won without anyone even having time to look at her?
There may be some who came to value Ban Yu-won that much more, and perhaps… … there may be others who came to see him as a thorn in their side.
“Then, let’s start the first match!”
While Ban Yu-won was racking his brain, a friendly duel began.
The combatants of the Prominence family and the swordsmen of the Clarent family were seen engaging in a swordfight, and among them, the one from the Prominence side was visibly unskilled in swordsmanship.
Of course, the Prominence’s sword attack was completely cut off after the catastrophe decades ago and has only now been revived.
Of course, there would be a group of people who had been quietly practicing swordsmanship while holding their breath, but Ban Yu-mi boldly excluded them from the personnel selection and added those who had just started learning the sword to the list.
To be frank, their victory was not important at all and in the end, all attention would be focused on him and Ban Yu-won, so he gave the young bloods a chance to at least gain some real-world experience by facing off against the swordsmen of the other teenage families.
“Enough. Clarent wins!”
As expected, the decision was reached very quickly.
However, it seemed that Ban Yu-mi did not put forward an inappropriate person as a player, and even while losing, she faced her opponent’s sword directly and did not back down, but fought bravely, showing that she had gained a lot of experience in a short period of time.
But what was important to Ban Yoo-won was not the blood, sweat, tears, and growth of the young prominence.
“Huh, what’s that…?”
The problem was the power wielded by the opposing Clarent Inspector.
Basically, the opponent’s swordsman, who used a sharp and fast sword, left behind an afterimage of the sword strike that did not disappear into the air whenever he swung his sword. Not only did it look like that, it had a physical form and had the characteristic of continuously attacking the opponent.
Not only that, sometimes it suddenly increases in size and attacks, sometimes it moves quickly in multiple trajectories to confuse the opponent, and sometimes it even merges into one to pierce the enemy…
A powerful power that can change each and every movement of the sword into reality, a power that would make it seem like there would be no opponent in close combat if only the mana management was done properly… … .
“That is an unforgettable memory.”
It was the power of Kang Mi-yeon, who was the vice-leader of the Oculus Luber, a guild that Ban Yu-mi had created by attracting fencing players from Earth.
Some may say that the only similarities are the forms of manifestation of power, but the techniques Clarent uses are more perfectly developed.
To the eyes of Ban Yu-won, who could analyze the power itself, it looked quite the opposite.

“Sister Mina, is that all the power of the Clarent family?”
“Yes. It’s a very famous power. In fact, many people underestimate it because it forces close combat, but if you delve deeper into it, you’ll find that it’s actually quite powerful. Depending on the caster’s abilities, it can even be the strongest in one-on-one combat.”
“That’s right… … .”
Powers discovered on Earth.
Powers discovered in the teenage family… … .
Is this not going to lead to a development where Miyeon’s older sister is also an illegitimate child of Clarent’s true bloodline?
Ban Yu-won, who had become anxious, met eyes with Ban Yu-mi, who was standing a little distance away and who was probably thinking the same thing as him.
– Did you see that Miyeon has the same power as you?
-Huh, Gangnam? Oh, is it similar?
A series of glances went back and forth, conveying something like this.
Ban Yu-won neatly discarded all expectations he had for his older sister.
I thought about it on my own for a while, but I still don’t know.
First of all, it seemed clear that Kang Mi-yeon was not an illegitimate child of the Clarent family.
Because the distribution of concepts in the body was too different.
“Clarent wins!”
Meanwhile, the second match ended.
Ban Yu-won, who had checked the second player’s internal concept, nodded with confidence.
As expected, it didn’t seem to be a result of branching off from ‘Current Clarent’.
In other words, it branched off from a higher generation and developed independently.
Or perhaps Clarent’s power flowed into Earth in some form and was passed on to Kang Mi-yeon in a more evolved form.
‘Come to think of it, since the last Prominence raid, Earth has completely cut off all connections with other dimensions. The only ones who can enter are me and those I can permit.’
Could it be that the root of my troubles was that for the past two years, I’ve been heading to Murim during vacations without fail, and only stopping by Earth occasionally to reminisce with my father or grandfather?
If you think about it, Earth is the land where you were born and it is also the only dimension where the legend of the Tower of Babel is passed down, but you never even thought that there might be a clue there.
Well, the most important Tower of Babel was in the Union, so what can you do about it?
I was just thinking about getting as far away from Earth as possible, being thankful that Earth was no longer under the tyranny of another dimension… … .
‘The system that originated from the Union was meant to protect the Earth. I wish they had thought a little more deeply about why the Union, which is at the center of the universe, had to protect the Earth.’
I think I’ll have to visit Earth after this is over.
First of all, I’ll contact my older sister Miyeon, who is the busiest guild master on Earth as the world’s number one ranked guild, Oculus Louver…
What should I do? I think he would be really happy if he contacted her first, but it probably wouldn’t be the kind of meeting she wanted…
“Another woman?”
As he was picking up the mirror and making a worried expression, Louisa, who had been fixated on his face the whole time, asked him a sharp question.
Ban Yu-won, who was a woman but couldn’t simply accept it, asked back in a ridiculous tone.
“Junior, I feel like you’ve been judging me with very rude eyes since a while ago.”
“That is truly an accurate judgment.”
“No, I have a very high opinion of you right now. I have never seen my uncle acknowledge someone from another dimension at first glance.”
“Luisha?!”
I’ve seen it so many times I’m sick of it.
Ban Yu-won ignored the shocked Lucien and turned his gaze to the stage.
It was the third of five matches, and a very familiar face was appearing, performing a spectacular flaming sword dance.
It was none other than Ban Yu-won’s biological mother, Kang Eun-young.
“Wow, what a beautiful female swordswoman. And strong. Was there someone like that in Prominence?”
“This is a prosecutor who was recently promoted to a high position with the new head of the family. His activity history is surprisingly lacking, but there are records of him briefly participating in the mercenary force with the head of the family.”
“Amazing. That’s Prominence’s swordsmanship, perfectly in harmony with the flames! I thought it had completely disappeared, but there was still a strand left behind!”
If it was revealed that Eunyoung Kang was the biological mother of Ban Yuwon and the adoptive mother of Ban Yumi, there would have been many people targeting Eunyoung Kang as an individual, and even though she hid as much information as possible, the interest poured into Eunyoung Kang was by no means small.
Unlike the other Prominence representatives who had lost the first two battles without a fight, Kang Eun-young had a beautiful smile on her face as she won by pushing her opponents in a flashy manner. Ban Yu-won touched his forehead.
“What on earth are you doing over there… … .”
“You’ve just been enduring it your whole life. It’s nice to see you stand out even in a place like this.”
“Ah… …?! Oh, that’s right, I think so too! And you’re really pretty!”
During that short time, Ruchel, who had entered the mode of a good daughter-in-law, diligently praised Kang Eun-young.
Asha, who had heard the conversation between the two and had roughly figured out something, also praised her in a hurry.
Is this what human development is? Ban Yu-won was so impressed that he even forgot the shame he had felt when looking at his mother.
―Death’s eyes cough in vain and say that they really want to get a piece of the action.
“Oh, yeah. Thanks.”
And I think you need to practice a little more.
“It was a truly wonderful match! Then finally, the climax of this friendly duel, the fourth duel! It’s a showdown between the head of the Prominence family and the best swordsman, Sword King Excel, who is not the head of the Clarent family!”
And finally, Ban Yu-mi came up on stage.
Exclamations erupted from all directions as the evening dress she had been wearing began to burn with her power, and then in an instant, it transformed into a shorter, more comfortable dress of flames.
It was the powerful weapon that Ban Yu-mi was proud of.
Seeing her outfit that seemed to emphasize her confident figure, Ban Yu-won felt the exact same embarrassment he had felt when he saw his mother earlier and lowered his head.
But he would never admit that he, too, loved to show off just as much as the other two men.
