Admission is a waste of time (51)
Lesson 12. Monster Wave – 1
Light had been giggling since morning at something funny.
“Assemble. Phew.”
“Light, I know it’s funny, but stop it now.”
“No, it’s funny to use that word in that situation. Hehehe.”
I sent the text in a hurry because I didn’t have time to think about it.
Biting on it and hanging on.
Perhaps the word “assemble” has a very funny meaning in the land of light.
Dokgoyeon, who was sitting next to Light, glared at him while biting into a fried spring roll.
“I hope you feel at ease. If you take out the Holy Sword right away because it’s a little dangerous, I know you won’t stay still.”
“I know, too. It’s just that I didn’t know what to say from the beginning… … .”
“It’s not rice that’s fried, it’s pork that’s fried and mixed with sauce,” Light said, shrugging as he took a spoonful of his exotically flavored stir-fried pork bibimbap (not rice that’s fried, but pork that’s fried and mixed with sauce and mixed with rice).
“They have a sense of anticipation. So, even if you tell them that there is a threat waiting for them, their attitude won’t really change.”
It is called a constant battlefield because it maintains a sense of tension as if it were always on a battlefield.
Even Ban Yu-won, who had never served in the military, found those words ridiculous.
Even the one who said that was Wright.
Dokgo Yeon laughed at Light on behalf of the group.
“It’s not even funny.”
“Did you want to do humor that wouldn’t be pushed aside by the assembly?”
“Ugh… … . Yuwon, ah~.”
“It’s not humor! And you, Ruchel! Did you just laugh at me and ignore me like it was nothing?”
I don’t know if I should be thankful that Ruchel’s personality has become so bold or if I should be worried about the future.
While Ban Yu-won was eating his food and thinking about such things, Light insisted with a look of injustice on his face.
“The dimension I lived in was originally like that! Our country’s soldiers never let their guard down for a moment and guarded the border, and His Majesty the King… … always practiced martial arts, saying that he should know how to protect himself even without the protection of his knights in times of emergency. Of course, I… … Aya!”
“There’s no need for psychiatry, so let’s throw it away.”
Dokgo Yeon, who flicked the rice that fell on the table with his fingers and hit the light’s forehead, spoke in a cold voice.
“If something happens, you just have to do as we agreed yesterday. Do you understand?”
“yes…….”
After finishing breakfast, the group got ready and gathered in the auditorium.
It was truly a spectacular sight, with all the students from first to fifth grade gathered together.
Even though the number of students decreases as they advance through higher grades due to reasons such as dropping out or dying during exploration, the total number still remains at around 1,000.
They were all the best giraffe sons of the previous dimension who dreamed of becoming gods.
The first-year freshmen still had an immature feel to them, but the second-year students, who had been at the top for a year each, all showed an experienced air.
“Half-circle.”
“why?”
Dokgo Yeon, who called Ban Yu-won’s name, looked around and spoke in a satisfied voice.
“It was a great decision to start a channel.”
“Yeah, I think so too.”
Ban Yu-won also agreed with her words with a bitter smile.
In this suffocating place where all the students observed and kept an eye on each other, surprisingly, there wasn’t much hostility towards Ban Yu-won and his group.
They were definitely in a position to be looked down on even among the first-year students, but those who viewed their videos favorably were likely to soften their gaze a little.
‘In the world I used to live in, people would get jealous if a complete stranger made 2 billion won in a year, but if a YouTuber they liked made 2 billion won in a year, they would naturally nod their heads and say that they should earn that much money.’
Above all, Rebellion is currently positioned to oppose the special classes, and is gaining the support of the majority of regular students who do not belong to the special classes.
In return, I didn’t feel like I had completely turned the special class into an enemy, but since they were bound to be enemies anyway due to their origins, I didn’t really care.
‘If special activities become dangerous, even more so… ‘
“Are we all here?”
At the right time, Yumina appeared and approached them.
She was wearing a picnic hat made of woven flowers and stems over her flowery hair, which gave her a very glamorous look.
Even if she suddenly revealed that she was the goddess of flowers, I feel like you would nod your head and say, “I knew it.”
The goddess of flowers spoke strange words to them.
“Everyone is pretty and cool. But since it’s a day to go out, I think it would be good to dress up a little.”
All the students are wearing the same uniform, but there’s no decoration whatsoever.
As she thought so, Yumina immediately picked four flowers from the hat she was wearing and placed them in each of the group’s ears.
Dokgoyeon frowned and tried to avoid it, but no matter how much she flew and crawled, she could not defeat Yumi.
In the end, all of Class 11 ended up wearing flowers on their heads.
Ban Yu-won wanted to cry a little.
“… … .”
“… … This, this, this.”
“Wow.”
“professor……?”
“This pretty flower will protect you wherever you go!”
Dokgoyeon, who was about to pull out the flower right away, stopped when he heard those words.
Because I realized that this flower was one of the protective measures Yumina had prepared.
She asked, gritting her teeth.
“Aside from these damn pretty flowers… … is there anything else?”
“You can change the shape a little. Which do you like better, a headband or a hair tie?”
“If there was something like that, I would have done it a long time ago… …with a hair tie.”

As the flower changed into a hair tie with a colorful flower decoration, Dokgoyeon bit her lip and tied her long, pure white hair back.
As she did so, her pure white and smooth neck was clearly visible, and Ban Yu-won absentmindedly glanced at it.
Since Dokgo Yeon doesn’t usually care much about her appearance, whenever she reveals her weaknesses, it feels even more charming.
“Banyuwon? Is there a problem?”
“Oh, no.”
“… … Professor, please change my hair too. With a lace hairband.”
“That would be nice too!”
Seeing Ban Yu-won’s gaze turned towards Dokgo Yeon, Ruchel felt competitive and made a request to Yumina in a different direction.
Lucelle, who had her hair decorated with a gorgeous lace hairband with flowers, matched perfectly with her already bright pink hair color.
“oh…….”
Ban Yu-won, who saw it, remembered the time when she went shopping with Ruchel before.
Now I understand why the clothing store clerks recommended Lolita fashion to her, which they found overly flashy and old-fashioned.
It wasn’t just because a silk corset could accentuate the body shape.
To begin with, Ruchel was an extremely rare being who actually suited the flashy costumes and accessories that only appeared in comics.
“pretty.”
“Huh… … !”
Ruchel clenched her fists in delight at his thoughtless exclamation.
Then, he looked at Dokgo Yeon with a proud expression as if he had won, but Dokgo Yeon just looked at her with a gaze that said, “What’s wrong with this beast?”
“Ban, should we take some special measures?”
Meanwhile, Light asked Ban Yu-won about this, feeling a sense of crisis as two of his colleagues transformed flowers into fancy hair ornaments.
Ban Yu-won answered.
“How about putting a flower in your mouth? In our world, successful men do that.”
“That would be too uncomfortable… … .”
Damn, I failed!
Ban Yu-won, who had been trying to kill Light and cowardly survive on his own, had no choice but to choose mutual destruction.
“Then you should just wear it and go. As a man, you have to be confident in any situation.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Because we’re men!”
“Both of you come here. I’ll exchange them for earrings.”
As the two people who ended up wearing flower-shaped jewel earrings attracted everyone’s attention, Professor Zenon came up to the stage.
“Is everyone here? Alright. We will now begin our special activity. Starting with Class 1 of Grade 1, please board the dimensional line in order.”
Dimension ship?
At that moment when Ban Yu-won was pondering such a question, the space suddenly opened up in front of the eyes of Ortima, the leading student of Class 1, Grade 1, and a translucent oval-shaped ring appeared.
What is visible within that ring is clearly some place different from this space.
It was probably the interior of a ship called the Dimensional Ship.
“Professor? As far as I know, there is a spaceship dock inside the floating island.”
“Small spaceships are mainly used by the upperclassmen for small-scale special activities such as space exploration, and dimensional lines are used for large-scale special activities. The principal and Professor Zenon have control over them.”
Yumina calmly answered Ban Yu-won’s question, who was shocked by something beyond his imagination.
But can we really call something a ship if we can’t even confirm its true identity?
Even though Ortima was new to the dimension line, he seemed hesitant, so it seemed that this school was indeed strange.
“Lord Lucien?”
“Big, eggplant.”
Only when one of the boys in class 1 called his name did Ortima cough in vain and step into the unknown space.
Lucien, Ban Yu-won just learned that guy’s name for the first time.
“We’ll be together for this entire special activity, Professor Yumina.”
“Professor Cantone.”
The students of Class 1 are bravely charging into the dimensional line following Ortima.
Their professor, Alex de Cantone, spoke to Yumina.
He was in charge of the top research subject (since it was a required subject for all students, many associate professors were in charge of the lectures under him), and he was one of the regular professors of the academy, and among the professors, he was also famous for being very enthusiastic about Yumina.
“I wondered what the significance of the lower-dimensional special selection was, but it unexpectedly helped our relationship. Isn’t that interesting?”
“I don’t think there’s any particular connection between Professor Cantone and me.”
Yumina responded coldly, not even thinking about putting on a fake smile.
This reaction was surprising to her, as she was basically polite to everyone.
Is it because he’s been approached like this so many times before?
Ban Yu-won had a strong feeling that it wasn’t just for that reason.
The answer came quickly. From Professor Cantone.
“Oh, by any chance, are you still thinking about what happened last meeting? Professor Yumina, I, Alec, am not the type to dwell on the past. So, I can assure you that nothing like what you are worried about will happen… ….”
Why are you glancing at Ban Yoo-won in that part?
In Ban Yu-won’s mind, his wariness toward this man grew even higher.
On the other hand, Yumina’s expression became even colder.
“Professor Cantone. You said you’re not the type to dwell on things that just happened.”
“of course.”
“Then I hope you won’t get hung up on my conversation either. I think you’ll understand what I’m saying.”
Groan… … Groan… … .
The students around him started whispering as they heard the clear rejection that even someone who had never dated before would understand.
And Ban Yu-won was filming this entire process.
“Ha… …! I must have been rude when Professor Yumi was in a bad mood. Let’s talk later.”
Gritting his teeth and ignoring the reality that Yumina hated him, Cantone glared at Ban Yu-won one last time and threw himself into the dimensional line.
Yumina turned her head to the group and laughed.
“Everyone, it looks like all the students in Class 1 have boarded the train. Should we go too?”
“Can I flirt with Professor Jeong?”
At that time, Ban Yu-won asked out of pure concern.
Yumina whispered, bringing her lips to his ear.
“Professor Cantone is your enemy anyway. Remember that and be on your guard.”
“Yes. … … Ugh.”
However, Ban Yu-won sighed more at Yumi’s attitude of appearing overly friendly to him than at the content of what she said.
As expected, most of the eyes of his classmates and the students filling the auditorium were fixed on him.
Suddenly, I became the main character of a huge scandal surrounding Yumina.
* * *
The dimension line was a space that made one doubt whether it was really a ship.
It was a place with a long, barren corridor and rooms without any windows that could see outside, and of course there was no door leading outside.
In simple terms, if Xenon doesn’t open the exit, we’re basically trapped here.
“Is this really the right size for you?”
“That’s right.”
Despite Ban Yu-won’s questioning gaze, Yumi simply smiled and responded.
Since he couldn’t tell whether the ship was moving or not, Ban Yu-won had no choice but to wait, believing that it would arrive at its destination.
Class 11 was in the same room as Class 1 within the dimension line as they were acting together, and Ban Yu-won could clearly feel the gazes of the two of them.
One of them was Ortima.
Although he was hiding his appearance from his followers, he could not fool Ban Yu-won, the master of Mandok-an.
His gaze was moving back and forth between Ban Yu-won and Dokgo Yeon, and Dokgo Yeon seemed to notice this as well, making a displeased expression.
“I kind of expected it, but it was as expected. You’re like a fool who can’t even hide your true colors… … .”
“No, it doesn’t seem like it’s just about living.”
As Dokgoyeon moved next to Ban Yuwon as if trying to avoid his gaze, Ortima’s gaze became more intense.
At this point, Ban Yu-won was convinced that Ortima had feelings for Dokgo Yeon, at least romantically, or close to obsession.
It seems he really was a pervert.
“I feel bad because of that burr. Is there anything I can do?”
“Do you think I have some kind of 4th dimensional pocket?”
But since he had a similar inventory, Ban Yu-won took out the thermos he had prepared and poured the hot chocolate inside into a mug.
Since it was clear that others would be looking for it anyway, I prepared theirs as well.
Dokgo Yeon accepted the glass and took a sip of hot chocolate, a faint smile forming on her lips.
“Whew… … My heart feels a little better now. It was the same back then.”
“This, the one you left behind back then… … Huh?”
Dokgo Yeon and Light muttered similar words, and suddenly their eyes met in midair.
The two exchanged glances that contained a strange meaning.
Ruchel, who had read the strange atmosphere, looked at Ban Yu-won with an expression of betrayal from his lover.
“Why… … ?”
And he let out a sad word.
Ban Yu-won was embarrassed by the sad sight and made excuses.
“Oh, this doesn’t really mean anything… … Hey, why do I feel like I’m being questioned about my s*xuality?”
“Whew, this is really delicious.”
Did he notice that Ban Yu-won was in trouble?
Yumina, who was drinking hot chocolate, put down the cup and said with a smile.
“I think it would be okay to add a little alcohol. Now, shall we talk about the schedule for this special activity?”
“Oh, okay.”
“The content of this special activity is largely divided into three. A school-wide activity where all students move together, a class activity where Class 1 and Class 11 move together, and a group activity where only Class 11 students move separately. The first day is focused on school-wide activities, but the second day will be class activities and group activities, and on the last day, there will be a school-wide activity again.”
“This schedule reminds me of a middle school retreat.”
Light’s eyes lit up as if he was amazed at Ban Yu-won’s reflexive response.
“Training? Do you train in your dimension too? You were too weak when we first met for that kind of thing.”
“Other than that training.”
“Oh, what I just said was only what I said when I first met you, but now I think you’re a really great prosecutor.”
“It’s noisy, Light.”
Ban Yu-won thought deeply.
The school activities don’t seem dangerous at first glance, and since Ortima himself participates in class activities, he probably won’t cause trouble then to avoid suspicion.
In other words, what they need to prepare for is group activities where only the group moves.
‘By the way, you’re really staring at me so intently.’
Ban Yu-won, who was continuing his thoughts, suddenly let out a sigh.
It’s not Ortima.
This refers to the gaze of Aire, who is sitting alone at a large round table, in the exact opposite direction to Ortima, who is occupying the table with a large number of followers.
Unlike Ortima, who looked at Dokgoyeon and him alternately, she looked at Yumina and him alternately.
Whenever Yumina tried to lightly touch Ban Yuwon’s body, his eyes would widen even more, to the point where it seemed like Cantone was disguised as Aire.
“Professor, you are very popular with both men and women.”
“Well, I’m just a pitiful flower that everyone can love. The fact that I can’t be broken by anyone’s hands is what makes me most attractive.”
Oh my, you’re going to come out like that.
Ban Yu-won was just laughing in amazement, when Yumi-na suddenly stood up from her seat.
“We’ve arrived.”
“yes?”
Have you started?
– Everyone, prepare to disembark. Starting with the 5th grade special selection group, please disembark in reverse order.
But as if to prove her words, Zeno’s voice flowed over the intercom.
Ban Yu-won hesitated when he heard that, because those who belonged to the lower-dimensional special admissions for the fifth grade were called ‘Group 11’ and not ‘Class 11’.
This alone immediately brought to mind how this academy originally treated students from lower dimensions.
“… … It’s scary.”
“It’s okay. You guys are the strongest class.”
Yumina spoke in a clear voice without a single doubt and held Ban Yuwon’s hands tightly.
Dokgo Yeon, who saw it, sneered without a moment’s hesitation.
“I really don’t understand why you only look at Ban Yu-won when you’re talking about everyone.”
“Kreuk… … As expected, there was a smell.”
Even Ruchel glared at Yumina, sending a gaze that should not have been directed at the professor.
Yumina didn’t bother to refute and just smiled brightly, so Light looked at her and said, looking dumbfounded.
“You guys, what did you say to me earlier? Shouldn’t you be the ones to start getting your bearings on the battlefield?”
Ban Yu-won completely agreed with Light’s words.
It would have been better if it hadn’t been Lightman who said that.
“Ban, you just cursed at me inwardly.”
“Light, you’re only perceptive when you really don’t need to be.”
“You admitted it… … ?!”
The first special activity, which was extremely unsettling in many ways, was about to begin.
