Admission is a waste of time (92)
Lesson 20. The family is copied? – 2
On Thursday morning, Ban Yu-won looked very sleepy.
That’s understandable, since he had rented the Artifact Production Lab all night long to work on artifacts with Mira.
The highlight is when Professor Campanella shows up at the end.
‘Mira! And… … Ban Yu-won student?!’
When she saw Mira with Ban Yu-won, she opened her eyes wide in shock, and when Mira bowed her head to her and apologized, this time she burst into tears.
… … After the tears stopped a bit, she started asking about the relationship between the two as if she were Mira’s older sister, and while offering them tea, she continued to talk about her (unrequited) love for them. In the end, she strongly requested that they come to her first during the major exploration time in the second semester of the first year, and then turned around.
It wasn’t like he was telling me to go to the Artifact Production Department, but he was satisfied with just asking for a chance first. There was a limit to how timid a person can be.
“Sniff sniff, sniff sniff… … .”
“Ah-yeah, Lucelle. Please do it until you feel better.”
Thanks to that, as soon as Ruchel saw Ban Yu-won this morning, he clung to him and started working hard to put his scent on him.
… … This was also the biggest reason why the fatigue of the Banyuwon was accelerating.
It may be fortunate that no one asks what happened or who I met… … .
“… … Did you meet a girl?”
“It looks like you had a great time last night.”
So that’s how those words ended up coming out of the other members’ mouths!
“I became close with a senior from the Artifact Creation Department, so I just got some help making artifacts. It wasn’t fun at all, I was so tired.”
“Ban, isn’t it true that artifacts can be made just by closing your eyes and opening them? … … Wait a minute, Artifact Production Department?”
Light caught on quickly.
Ban Yu-won had been thinking that maybe this guy actually had a good sense of humor lately.
“Are you… that senior named Mira?”
“huh.”
“… … .”
At that moment when Ban Yu-won thoughtlessly agreed, for some reason, Light’s expression became terribly crumpled.
“Oh, yeah… … .”
“What’s wrong? Have you ever met him before?”
“No, there isn’t. There isn’t… … I don’t really want to see you.”
Ban Yu-won, who sees Light looking obviously upset, asks the group with his eyes if they know why he is acting that way.
Ruchel was still absorbed in marking, and Dokgoyeon spoke with a calm expression.
“I wonder if they’re jealous because I made a contract with the constellation.”
“Ugh.”
“You, Inma, that guy is in the third year and we are in the first year.”
“But half of you are freshmen, and you’re receiving two sponsorships. Is that why you’re meeting that senior?”
The moment he heard that, Ban Yu-won realized that Light was currently in a very annoying state.
What flashes through my mind is the image of him after the first exploration, when he had become a mere snail, wedged in a square shape between the table and the wall.
At that time, I tried to soothe it with hot chocolate, but if you keep drinking it, the effect of the medicine wears off.
“Dokgoyeon, pass.”
“You do it yourself. I’m upset because of you.”
“You’re my parents?! Ouch.”
Dokgoyeon’s lightning struck Light’s head as he screamed.
She said, glaring at the calmed Light with a cold expression.
“All exams will be over this morning.”
“But, why?”
“When you’re done, you two should go on a date.”
“date?!”
“Caeng!”
Light and even Ruchel perked up their ears at Dokgo Yeon’s unexpected words.
Meanwhile, Ban Yoo-won thought to himself, “It seems Dokgo Yeon is also very influenced by this, using expressions like ‘date’.”
“I am a man!”
“So what if you’re a man? Isn’t that right, Ban Yu-won?”
“Throw this at me here? Well… … I don’t mind.”
Not only should each individual’s s*xual preference be respected, but Light is not a man.
But Light crossed his arms to cover his slender body and opened his mouth, wondering what Ban Yoo-won thought of his answer.
“You, you… … .”
“I told you two to just go out and play, Light. Calm down.”
“ah.”
Light barely managed to keep his mouth shut.
I realized that I was overreacting.
Ruchelman glared at Dokgoyeon, perhaps not liking this series of events, but all he got in return was a sneer.
“You went on a date last time, right? Today is a special martial arts class with me all day long.”
“That’s true, but ugh. I want to go on a date too.”
“Okay, then Lucelle, do you want to hang out together this weekend?”
“yes!”
“… … .”
Dokgo Yeon, who saw Ban Yoo-won easily appeasing Ruchel, spoke in a somewhat trembling voice.
“You’ve gotten better, Ban Yu-won?”
“Don’t say that, it makes me want to die.”

* * *
Ban Yu-won always stays with Light in the dormitory, but because of that, the two of them don’t really have much experience talking openly.
Since he had been thinking that they would have to solve the problem related to the Holy Sword together someday, Dokgoyeon’s proposal was welcome to Ban Yuwon as well.
11:30 am.
Ban Yu-won, who had perfectly filled out the answers for the last subject of this midterm exam and submitted them, frowned as he looked at Light, who had covered his face with both hands as soon as he left the exam room.
“You really aren’t.”
“No, I wrote most of it. I wrote most of it. But I couldn’t concentrate at the end… … .”
Light glanced at Ban Yu-won as he said that.
Of course he was serious.
“You’re not going to use me as an excuse, are you?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Anyway, it’s okay. If you messed up in the middle, you can just make up for it in the final.”
Ban Yu-won thought that he should start studying a week earlier than usual during the final exam season, so he took Light to Ronica.
“But what are you going to do? … … What did you do with Ruchel? With that woman?”
“What does it matter what you do with other people? Just have fun doing whatever you want.”
He said nice things, but he didn’t do anything special with Light.
I fed her delicious food, tricked her into wearing clothes that looked obviously feminine by claiming they were neutral fashion, and then I ran out of repertoire.
The current time is 3:00 PM.
Ban Yu-won grumbled as he debated whether or not to take him to the cafe.
“No, how can the culture be this backward? We have everything we need… … .”
“Ban, what is that?”
Light, who was feeling quite good after spending money without hesitation, extended his hand and pointed to a large building located on the main street.
“Ah—that’s a movie theater. It’s a place where other people film with their cameras, just like Tike films ours.”
“Let’s go!”
“I knew it.”
There is a cinema in the large city of Ronica.
Since we have cameras that can shoot video, it is only natural that we have movies, and it is also only natural that we have movie theaters that show such movies.
The problem is… … .
[The right arm of the constellation Black Flame is with me. I will burn you all and establish His justice!]
[Hey, dragon… …! A giant dragon made of black flame!]
The protagonist proudly shows off his flashy constellation abilities (which the president would probably like).
[All He wants is my soul, and the suffering of wicked people like you!]
[Kkaaaaaaah!]
No matter how you look at it, the protagonist seems to have been defrauded by the constellation.
[But what if it was the power of the fragrance of the constellation’s smiling petals?]
[Laughing!]
[of the petals!]
[fragrance!]
And even supporting actors who blatantly promote constellations that seem weak.
“… … .”
About 30 minutes into the movie, Light, who had been blankly staring at the screen, quietly grabbed Ban Yu-won’s hand and pulled him out of the theater.
Then he shouted.
“What is that?! Why are the characters praising the constellations without any context!”
“Isn’t it because the movie was made with the support of the constellation’s contractors? By the way, other movies are the same. Especially in romance movies, the scene where they deep kiss using the power they received from the constellation’s support was really creepy.”
“This is the worst!”
Ban Yu-won also thought so, and after first coming here out of curiosity, he never came back again.
But the timing wasn’t good.
Light, who was already stressed out because of the constellations, reached a critical point.
He sighed softly as he looked at Light, who was wearing pretty clothes but had a gorilla-like expression.
“Do you want to go relieve stress? Keep it a secret from everyone else.”
“… … Huh? Th, that’s it. Ah, me.”
I made a suggestion that I had never made to anyone before.
When Light heard those words, his pupils started to shake and he was conflicted, but when he grabbed his hand strongly, he pretended not to be able to resist and followed him.
Thirty minutes later, the two were running through a cave filled with goblins.
“It’s a lot different from what I thought! … … But the stress is relieved!”
“What were you thinking?”
“I can’t say anything even if I die!”
Ask Eve and Lilith to lure the monsters inside the dungeon together and have fun swinging your weapon to break through.
Goblins and the like were not only incapable of inflicting harm on them, but they were also incredibly refreshing as they could be cut down several times with one blow.
It takes some prep work, but those tidy, friendly attendants will take care of it for you!
“Euryaaaaaaa!”
Light swung his spear cheerfully, as if trying to release all the stress that had built up from not being able to properly vent during the exam period.
He was so excited and wild that only three goblins returned to Banyuwon.
“Hoo, hoo… … .”
After breaking through the area swarming with goblins and running for a while, Light charged straight into the boss room, where he sliced a goblin warrior who was showing off his skills vertically. He then stuck his spear into the ground and stopped, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
Then he spoke to Ban Yu-won with a somewhat relieved face.
“Humans are truly cruel, Ban. Killing other creatures to relieve stress.”
“Is that something you should be saying at this time?”
You betrayed me after enjoying the most satisfying thing.
Light ignored Ban Yu-won’s expression of bewilderment and sighed again before pulling out his spear and turning around.
“Ban, let’s have a round of sparring.”
“Okay.”
“If I win, tell me in detail what happened with that woman.”
It seems Mira really was very worried.
Ban Yu-won asked with a sly smile.
“Then what if I win?”
“If you win… … .”
Light aimed his spear at him, his eyes gleaming.
“Then listen to my story.”
“You know, Light, that’s called unfair trade.”
“Let’s go, haaaaap!”
Light charged in without even waiting for his preparations!
Ban Yu-won hastily pulled his sword out of the air and blocked his spear.
-visor!
“What is that, the Holy Sword?”
“I just did some upgrades!”
It’s not just an upgrade level, but if I show it properly, the light will go out again, so I can’t do that.
The two men clashed their weapons fiercely without giving an inch to each other.
-Chaeng! Chaeng!
At the time of admission, Light’s skills were overwhelmingly superior to Ban Yu-won’s, and the difference was like heaven and earth.
Light himself has sealed the holy sword, which has overwhelming performance but sometimes goes out of control and causes abnormal behavior, and instead masters spearmanship, which actually reduces his fighting ability.
Meanwhile, Ban Yu-won, who was growing the fastest in the entire dimension, had his physical and magical powers improved due to the awakening of his unique powers, and thanks to the systematic swordsmanship instilled in him by Dokgo Yeon, he had become a completely different being compared to two months ago.
-Kagagak! Chiing!
Now, they were fighting each other with all their might, in a fierce and thrilling equal battle.
“You, you don’t use the servants?”
“That’s not fair to either of us!”
Even if he didn’t know, Light, who had been fighting with him for more than half his life, gave up the holy sword and fought with the spear he had learned since entering the academy, would not have a satisfactory result even if Ban Yu-won had really fought with all the means he had.
That’s why he only competes with martial arts.
Because it’s a technique I learned when I entered the academy, just like Light.
-Maybe that’s why I can’t help but think of ‘her’ whenever the two of them clash.
“Dokgo Yeon is truly amazing.”
“What, are you jealous of Dokgo Yeon now?”
“I can’t not do it. I’m nothing but the Holy Sword, and you all… …!”
“gibberish.”
To be honest.
If it had been Light until last week, Ban Yu-won would have had the upper hand even if they had fought under the same conditions.
But that’s not the case now.
What this means is that Light’s growth was greater than Ban-Yu-Won’s over the past week.
Of course, this is limited to fighting techniques, and Ban Yu-won was particularly busy with other things over the past week, so his fighting ability growth was somewhat slow.
“But it’s true that you’re getting stronger quickly.”
The two stood facing each other for a moment, their weapons facing each other.
Light let out a gasp of relief and glared at him through gritted teeth.
His face looked like it was not being convinced by what he said.
But Ban Yu-won ignored it and continued speaking.
“You’re a genius even without the Holy Sword. No, maybe your true talent was hidden by the Holy Sword.”
“Not enough, not enough… … .”
“The harder you work, the more you will grow. When you can admit to yourself that you are great even without the Holy Sword, you will be able to handle it.”
“Don’t talk nonsense when you don’t know anything.”
“Yeah, I don’t really know.”
Ban Yu-won pushed Light away strongly.
“Ugh… … Haaaap!”
He jabbed his spear with a sharp shout, but Ban Yu-won easily noticed that the tip of the spear was shaking slightly.
This is the timing I’ve been waiting for.
Taking a deep breath, Ban Yu-won simultaneously used his powers of flow and anti-flow to deflect his spear away, and aimed his longsword at Light’s perfectly exposed chest.
“So tell me. I’ll listen to everything.”
“… … Phew.”
Light, who had missed the window, let out a small sigh and sank to the spot.
“To be completely honest, I can’t say.”
“I know. You’re a liar.”
“… … I hate you, really.”
Ban Yu-won put away his sword and sat down next to Light.
Light began to speak obediently, his lips pursed.
