Admission is a waste of time (79)
Lesson 18. Midterm Exam – 1
Early in the morning, Lucelle woke up in a half-dazed state.
As she watched the soft blanket slide over her voluptuous and voluptuous body, Ruchel realized once again that she was at Union Academy.
‘A luxurious comforter that we can only dream of in our world. Thank goodness I’m still here.’
At first, I thought this was the difference between a lower dimension and an upper dimension, but when I asked Ban Yu-won about it, he said that despite being from a lower dimension like himself, he enjoyed a level of civilization that was not that different from this one, which was surprising.
Of course, there are more than one or two surprising things about Ban Yu-won, but listening to his story, one wonders if his world is also particularly special among the lower dimensions.
He declared that he would follow him to his hometown, but when would that actually be possible? Summer vacation?
Until then, somehow I can… … with him.
‘Master… … Hehe.’
I absentmindedly stroked the soft blanket while thinking of Ban Yu-won, then suddenly came to my senses, shook my head to shake off my delusions, and got out of bed.
Looking to the side, she saw Dokgo Yeon, who had woken up earlier than her, sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating, wearing the nightgown Ban Yu-won had gifted her.
Her appearance, concentrating on meditation with an undisturbed posture, was truly elegant, and she could not have looked like a girl of her age.
‘But yesterday, they seemed to be around the same age.’
Ban Yu-won herself didn’t seem to notice, but the mistakes Dokgoyeon made yesterday were all because she was overly conscious of Ban Yu-won.
Why did Dokgo Yeon, who wouldn’t even blink an eye if someone died right in front of her, do such a cute thing?
‘I think there may have been some misunderstanding… … .’
Without a doubt, Ban Yu-won is excellent.
Not only is he exceptionally skilled at martial arts as seen from the top, but he also seems to have unparalleled talent in martial arts, as seen in the way he actively teaches martial arts to Ban Yu-won, which he doesn’t teach to others.
He is a man with an excellent ability to earn wealth, so he is more than capable of leading a group or taking responsibility for a family.
Even though this is a mixture of Ruchel’s personal taste, even the face is perfect.
At this point, wouldn’t it be strange not to be aware of him?
Not only Lucelle, but also Light, and definitely Dokgoyeon.
‘But there’s no need to say that it’s love, I just heard some random words from that woman named Aneri and started thinking in a strange way. I should’ve just accepted it naturally, what a clumsy person… ‘
Dokgo Yeon has strong pride and is somewhat overbearing, and as can be seen from the incident with Ortima, he has a side that is unwilling to acknowledge relationships between men and women.
But, when Aneri suddenly provoked her with a question like, “Actually, do you like her too?”, she tried to avoid admitting it, but ended up going astray in a big way, which is how this incident happened.
Ruchel thinks that relying on his abilities as a party member and being emotionally attracted to him are two separate issues… … Dokgo Yeon seems to think that there shouldn’t be even the slightest aspect of her being inferior to him.
So, while trying to conquer Room 23 as she wanted, she ended up revealing to everyone that she was greatly influenced by Ban Yu-won…
“cute.”
“Do you want to die?”
“Kang!”
Suddenly, Dokgo Yeon opened his eyes wide, and then Ruchel, who had been hit by a pillow flying at him at a speed beyond human perception, fell onto the bed.
“Ouch… … Huh?”
As she sat up with tears in her eyes, Ruchel realized that Dokgoyeon was staring at her, or more precisely, at a part of her body.
It was a gaze I had received so many times from the same s*x throughout my life that I was sick of it.
I’m embarrassed to say it myself, but I’ve never been pushed around by another woman because of my physical condition.
However, she herself was heavy and uncomfortable, and she only attracted unnecessary attention from the opposite s*x, so she didn’t like it that much.
Yeah, until you meet the love of your life.
“Beast, why on earth do you sleep with your underwear off? How shameless.”
“Because my body temperature is high… … I take off everything I wear to sleep.”
Perhaps that’s not what Dokgo Yeon really wanted to say.
Ruchel decided to accommodate her.
“That’s a really beastly reason. No, but… … .”
Dokgo Yeon grumbles and mutters something, then leaves Ruchel behind and falls into deep thought.
Meanwhile, Lucelle got out of bed, took a shower, and put on her school uniform.
By the time she returned after finishing her preparations, Dokgoyeon was already wearing her school uniform.
“Beast, I think you still misunderstand, so let me be clear: I don’t really like Ban-yuwon—”
“You don’t like Yu-won? You’re only aware of him because he’s so talented?”
“… … Yes, that’s right. I know that well. It’s true that I was even a little conscious of him… ….”
Dokgo Yeon nodded her head in response with a slightly timid expression.
Lucelle smiled slightly, guessing what was on her mind.
“Okay, I guess I misunderstood.”
“What you said yesterday wasn’t wrong. … … It was definitely a fluke.”
Why is he making a scary motion like he’s kicking the air while saying that?
“You won’t be acting that stupid in the future. At the top, you’ll just rely on Ban Yu-won’s abilities. Developing crisis management skills? The top isn’t a place for self-development… .”
“… … As expected, you’re cute.”
“!”
“Caeng!”
This time, it wasn’t a fluke, it was a real hit.
Dokgoyeon, who seemed to have calmed down a bit after giving Ruchel a room, spoke to Ruchel, who was rolling on the floor in pain.
“Anyway, it’s true that I caused trouble to the party members because of my fault. As a way of apology, I’ll teach you a martial art. I’ve already taught it to Ban Yu-won and Light, so it seems strange to leave you out.”
“The Su, Suin tribe doesn’t need that kind of thing… … .”
“It’ll be okay.”
Dokgoyeon looked down at Ruchel and smiled arrogantly.
Lucelle didn’t find her so cute anymore.
“What I’m going to teach you is the martial arts used by beasts anyway.”

Until last week, the entire academy was excited as the afterglow of special activities lingered, but as Monday came and the exam season began in earnest, the smiles on the students’ faces began to disappear little by little.

Although each and every one of them is a genius representing their own dimension, Union Academy is a place where even such geniuses cannot be certain to graduate.
In particular, students admitted through special admissions who were recognized for their special talents but lacked average ability (intellect is usually included here) compared to those geniuses were even more anxious.
“I don’t understand why regular students bully special admission students.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged as he checked the rankings of special admission students from the past few years that he had received from Yumi-na.
The names of the special admission students were highlighted in red, and every single ranking list he checked had a picture of boiling lava from the depths of hell.
This means that every single one of them is in the lowest rank.
“I can’t help but be thankful that the special admission students are so kind and helping me.”
“Ban, you are the worst.”
Light, who had been burying his head in the desk, spoke with a half-sob expression.
After school on Monday, they gathered in a doorless classroom and worked on written assignments together.
Of course, as soon as Ban Yu-won received the assignment, he quickly finished it all and then looked through the various materials he received from Yumi-na.
“So, the hatred towards special admission students isn’t just because of their origins.”
Dokgoyeon, who was working on his assignments at a speed that was not inferior to that of Ban Yuwon but was by no means inferior to the average speed of Union Academy, suddenly popped his head out and smiled bitterly after checking the materials in Ban Yuwon’s hand.
“I don’t think my performance at the top will be that bad since I’m a special admissions candidate, but my performance in the regular exams is so bad that it’s like asking to be bullied.”
“I don’t want to be looked down on by those f*cking upper-dimensional guys!”
“Then stop talking and focus on your homework.”
“Crash!”
Dokgo Yeon’s argument stopped Light’s heart for a moment.
Meanwhile, Ruchel was staring blankly at Ban Yu-won with an expression of having given up on everything.
Ban Yu-won also looked at her and let out a soft sigh.
I thought I could at least do the homework on my own, but I was wrong.
Ruchel was truly―the idiot of idiots.
No, it’s not that she’s really stupid, it’s just that the Academy’s standards are too high.
“Beast, stop tormenting the poor Ban Yu-won.”
Dokgo Yeon, who saw the two people having a meaningless staring contest, narrowed his eyes as if he found it pitiful and said.
“If you practice martial arts consistently, your mind will become clearer and your learning ability will improve. So, don’t forget to practice every single day.”
“I will train my martial arts skills, but I trust Yu Won.”
“It really is a helpless beast.”
Ban Yu-won looked at the test paper from last year that Yumi had specially prepared and gauged her level.
Naturally, the level of demands placed on students was higher than the assignment―Ban Yu-won, who quickly came to a conclusion, asked Yu-mi-na, who was sitting nearby drinking flower tea.
“Professor, is it acceptable to cheat during exams?”
“There’s no way that would be allowed, right?”
Yumina replied with a refreshing smile.
Of course, that’s true. Even Ban Yoo-won himself said it and thought it was an incredibly stupid thing to say.
But in a test of this level of difficulty, there is no other way to save Light and Ruchel than cheating.
At least apply the Naruto intermediate ninja exam rules!
“But Professor Yumina, it’s not a crime if you don’t get caught, right?”
“Student Ban Yu-won, please check the back of the materials I gave you.”
When I obediently handed over the data as Yumina had told me to, there was a truly gruesome message written on it.
It was a ‘list of students expelled from the Academy due to detection of misconduct over the past five years.’
There were quite a lot.
Last year alone, more than 20 students from grades 1 to 5 were expelled.
It was also shocking that nearly 30% of them were special admission students.
“Most of them were students with special abilities, and they cheated because they were sure they wouldn’t get caught. But in the end, they were all caught and had to leave the academy. You know what I’m saying, right?”
“The academy students are much more sloppy than I thought.”
“no-.”
“Whoa, whoa.”
Yumi’s slender fingers pressed against Ban Yuwon’s cheek, an ambiguous action that was either a punishment or a reward, and it produced the fragrant scent of flowers and a tickling sensation in his chest.
Lucelle, who had the luxurious skinship skills that were only allowed to mature women naturally shown off in front of her, clenched her teeth as if she was losing something.
“No matter how great the powers of a student from Ban Yu-won are, it is difficult for them to escape the eyes of the system directly supervised by the principal.”
“Is the president directly supervising it? … That means there are a lot of students who commit corruption.”
“The higher you go in the graduating class, the more important it becomes. Everyone must be anxious. However, what you must keep in mind is that cheating is the furthest thing from the ‘dignity’ that Union Academy wants. Keep this in mind and study diligently, everyone.”
“I.”
It was at that moment that Ruchel stood up and knocked on the table.
There was also the meaning of wanting to prevent Yumi from getting closer to Ban Yuwon.
“I… I’ll give up on graduating.”
“Ruchel?!”
Ruchel grabbed Ban Yu-won’s arm with a determined expression.
“My goal is not a diploma or anything like that, but to spend my whole life with Yuwon.”
“I don’t think that was your goal when you entered school.”
“If I think about it, I didn’t have to put in the effort for a piece of paper like a diploma when I just had to be by Yuwon’s side anyway. In the future, I’ll go to ‘Earth’ with Yuwon… …!”
“Coming to Earth? … …Immigrating?!”
Ban Yu-won’s face turned pale as he realized that Ruchel’s path had already been decided within her.
It’s not that I hate her, but I still don’t know her feelings clearly, and when I hear heavy words like “lifelong” and “future,” I still feel uneasy… … !
“Oh, Yuwon, you don’t have to feel burdened. I just want to dedicate my life to Yuwon as I please… …!”
“I am very grateful, but that makes me feel more burdened.”
“It’s good to have a solid life plan, but, Ruchel.”
Yumina said with a still smiling face.
“If your test scores are too bad, you won’t be able to go anywhere during the vacation and will have to take a summer semester.”
“Seasonal semester… …?”
Ruchel tilted her head cutely when she heard the unfamiliar word, but Ban Yu-won, who had heard the word often through his older sister who was a college student, was thrilled.
“Even during vacation, you go to the academy and listen to lectures. Only students who did not do well on the exams gather together. Of course, students who do not do well on the exams will not attend the summer semester―”
“I will study hard.”
Ruchel quickly sat down in his seat.
Then he desperately clung to Ban Yu-won’s arm.
“Yuwon, save our vacation… …!”
“Ah- yeah. I’ll try. … … Our vacation?”
Ban Yu-won thought that he should consult with Celon tonight about language magic that would enhance learning effectiveness.
