Why Did I Have to Enroll - Chapter 30

Lesson 7. I swear I’m not doing this because I like him – 5

The reaction to Ban Yu-won’s declaration, which shocked everyone in Class 11, was finally calmed down after about 10 minutes of commotion. Dok Go-yeon and Light’s gazes, as if they were looking at garbage, were truly impressive. Moreover, even once the reason was sufficiently explained, why was Ban Yu-won told to prepare himself after returning?

It was still a mystery.

“Are you ready?”

“Y-Yep!”

Ruchel was frozen stiff when she was told they were going on a date. She nodded her head and didn’t respond. Ban Yu-won asked if she would be okay; she panicked and rushed back to the dormitory to change clothes.

“But….”

“Yes?”

So, the clothes that Ruchel had changed into were none other than the school uniform. Well, it was much better than her gym uniform in the training room, but…Ban Yu-won, who thought of several possibilities, realized that the question itself could be rude and just suggested:

“Let’s go look for clothes that suit you first.”

“I have no money….”

“I’ll buy it for you. Let’s go.”

“Gasp.”

Ban Yu-won grabbed Ruchel’s hand and activated his student ID. Originally, they were supposed to move to a nearby dungeon by chanting the spell given by the Principal. Still, after studying the student ID, Ban Yu-won found it somewhat possible to adjust the teleport position. As a result.

“Kyah…!”

“This way.”

It became possible to move directly into the city without going through the dungeon. They were moved to a quiet alley, and Ban Yu-won immediately dragged Ruchel into the crowd.

“I-I’m dizzy.”

“That’s because there are a lot of people and a lot of buildings.”

“Uh….”

When Ban Yu-won grabbed her hand, Ruchel clung to him so she wouldn’t be lost in the crowd. The way she was trembling and clinging to him felt so much like a puppy that it made him laugh.

“It will be easy to achieve our goals.”

“Is this really possible? It’s not that I don’t want to…!”

“Looks like it’s possible. Now, I think there’s a department store over there.”

Located just below the Floating Island where the Union Academy was, Ronica, the free city, was the best metropolis of the Union. The city was very large, with several distinct residential and commercial districts and several department stores. Ban Yu-won had been exploring the city from Monday, so he guided Ruchel without difficulty.

And while they were walking.

“Ah…!”

“Hmm? Do you want to eat?”

“Yes, but.”

“Then let’s go.”

Ruchel’s eyes turned to a fried food shop on the corner. In Earth terms, it was close to croquettes. The main dishes were meat such as pork or shrimp (something similar to them) coated in a dough made from potatoes (a vegetable like a potato) and deep-fried.

“Welcome!”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Um….”

After looking through the various options, Ruchel stopped in contemplation for a while, but soon she chose a fried dish called ‘Ellone.’ He wondered if she was hesitant since it was his treat, but the one she chose was the most expensive, so it seemed she was getting over it.

“Then one Ellone…and a shrimp.”

“It’s 90, Ronia, sir.”

Shrimp was 20 Ronia, and Ellone was 70 Ronia. When he asked why there was such a price difference between them, the shop owner explained it was monster meat.

“It’s monster meat…is that okay?”

“This is what I wanted.”

As soon as Ruchel nodded, the fried Ellone was ready. Ban Yu-won stepped in front of the shop owner, who was blatantly glancing at Ruchel’s voluptuous chest, warning him indirectly before taking her away. They could go inside and eat, but street food’s beauty was eating it while walking around.

“Oh, it’s delicious.”

After taking a bite, Ruchel, with a happy expression, reached out and grabbed Ban Yu-won’s hand. Then, realizing her own actions, her eyes widened in bewilderment. Then…

“B-Ban. Thank you very much. But….”

Her voice grew cautious. Ban Yu-won succeeded in reading the emotional concept of anxiety that sprung up from her.

“Will we getting close…really help me control my abilities?”

Ban Yu-won thought that if a stranger heard her, they would think he was trying to seduce her. But this was true; he was sincere. Ban Yu-won thought his condition to interfere with another person’s internal code was how well he knew them. It was easy for him to give a concept to his sister and his family, but it was impossible to give even a very simple one to Ruchel. Of course, the same was true for Dok Go-yeon and Light.

Now that things were like this, it would be too hard to inject a negative concept directly into an enemy’s body to defeat them.

‘Maybe it’s just that it can’t be used against someone stronger than me, but….’

But he didn’t think his abilities were so simple. In fact, it wasn’t long ago he couldn’t properly read the concepts of his classmates, including Ruchel. But what about now? The more time he spent with them, the clearer their concepts became. Hadn’t he been able to even read the concept of emotion from her?

‘…Although it’s a change, I made it after treating her to some food. But if the condition for using my powers is to observe that person for a long time rather than to become close with them, there is nothing better than the method I have chosen now.’

Above all else, his instinct said so. If he wanted to change a person’s internal code directly, it was best to understand the person in detail and deepen their relationship.

“Of course, there’s a possibility it won’t work.”

“Ah….”

However, Ban Yu-won didn’t dare put his thoughts into words. He thought doing this would allow him to get to know her more naturally.

“Still, I think it’s advantageous if I get to know you. Oh, if you don’t want that, tell me now.”

“No!”

At Ban Yu-won’s remark, Ruchel shook her head.

“I do, absolutely.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“It’s just that I’m just not a very interesting person. I’m not as friendly as Dok Go-yeon…and Light.”

Aside from Light, was Dok Go-yeon friendly? Was she okay?

When Ban Yu-won gave her a genuinely puzzled look, Ruchel replied with a sad smile.

“I mean relatively. She’s a scary person to me, but…she likes you a lot.”

“We don’t say we ‘like’ in her case; we say we want. In the same way we want to have a sword or shield that works well.”

“…Hehe.”

When Ban Yu-won said that with the deepest sincerity, some of the tension in Ruchel’s shoulders loosened.

“Why are you laughing?”

“I’m a little relieved.”

“About what?”

Ban Yu-won, unable to understand why she was saying that now, tilted his head. He knew from the beginning that the most difficult thing to understand was another’s heart, but this one was the hardest level of them all.

“I thought you knew everything…but it doesn’t seem so. You’re just like me.”

“Hey, wait a minute. I don’t think I should be happy about that.”

“I will try hard.”

‘How will I feel if you say you will try hard? How?’

“I want to…get closer to you too. Like those two.”

“I’m feeling anxious just hearing that.”

He wanted to get to know Ruchel, but not like the two. However, Ruchel, who seemed to have already sorted everything inside herself, grabbed his hand.

“Let’s go. I want to look for clothes.”

“Shit…I’m going.”

The direction was slightly different from what he initially thought, but it wasn’t a bad atmosphere.

Ban Yu-won went to the department store holding hands with her, and he ran into a problem he hadn’t ever considered.

“I mean, are you seeing me as a pervert?”

“It’s just that only these clothes suit me.”

Two hours had passed since they entered the department store clothing store. When the clerks saw Ruchel, they tried to control their expressions and struggled to choose clothes that fit her, but most of them were revealing outfits that were too tight under her chest.

“How about an ordinary dress or something like that?”

“If I wear a full suit like that, it makes me look fat.”

“My bad.”

Ruchel, who’s good proportions gained the envy of all women worldwide, suffered through these difficulties. If she dressed normally, she would look fat, and if she tried to flatter her body, her breasts would inevitably be emphasized. There would be a way if it were any other woman, but she wasn’t any woman.

Ban Yu-won realized why she caught people’s attention like that, even when she only wore a school uniform.

“It’s okay. I didn’t like them.”

Ruchel told Ban Yu-won, who was starting to think about whether she had him pegged as an unscrupulous man.

“I’m used to those gazes…you don’t need to worry.”

“When I hear things like that, I feel like I’m being treated like a fool again…okay, then, let’s take these.”

Ban Yu-won chose five or six sets Ruchel liked and paid 50,000 Ronia for them.

“It’s expensive!”

“No, it’s not expensive! So, don’t try to take it off!”

She was wearing the blouse and skirt she liked the most among what they bought.

“Still, it’s enough money to buy 714 fried Ellones!”

“It’s okay. This is a gift for a friend…and you’re surprisingly quick with that calculation, huh?”

“Still, this is too much…is there anything more you want from me?”

Ruchel made a questionable expression as if to say, ‘there’s no way Ban would.’ Ban Yu-won winked at her, taking the bag from the clerk and putting it in his inventory.

“If you feel uncomfortable, you can think of receiving the channel revenue in advance, right?”

“…What?”

Ban Yu-Won informed her that the video channel he was running would soon generate revenue and that he would pay them an appropriate proportion. Of course, Ban Yu-won was in charge of filming, editing, uploading, and channel management, so his proportion was about half, but looking at the way the channel was running now, it was a considerable amount even if the other half was divided among the three of them.

“You mean you can make money with that?”

“Yeah. Traffic is money. Even if you put just one advertisement on the video, the countless people who see that advertisement will make you money.”

“You’re an alchemist…! Making gold out of nothing!”

It seemed she didn’t understand properly, but Ruchel was very impressed! After hearing that, she seemed happier than when she received the clothes. Ban Yu-won thought there was no way to understand a woman’s feelings, shook his head, and took her hand.

“Then let’s go eat now.”

“Yes!”

At that moment, Ban Yu-won noticed the concept of emotions overflowing from Ruchel. The golden strings signified Delight and Fun. As he stretched out a hand just to check, they were pulled in.

It felt like lightning had struck him.

“Ban…?”

“Yeah, ah. It’s nothing.”

Glossing Ruchel’s confusion, he quickly moved them to the code core lest they disappear.

Ban Yu-won was sure he had just found a way to deal with her problem.

* * *

It was actually a fun date.

She was already pretty, but now that she was well-dressed, she caught people’s attention wherever she went. Yet when they saw Ban Yu-won, who had become quite a celebrity in the city over the past few days, hanging next to her, most of them backed away.

After they ate, they went to look for new clothes for Ban Yu-won, and thanks to Ruchel’s good eyes, Ban Yu-won got a few nice plain outfits. Meanwhile, they ran into some of their channel’s subscribers and were asked to sign autographs. Of course, Ruchel was puzzled by this as well.

“How do these people know us?”

“The number of our subscribers has increased considerably. Of course, compared to the size of this world, it’s not a lot, but now…uh….”

Ban Yu-won, who turned on the mirror and checked the channel, lost what he would say. When he uploaded the video yesterday, it was definitely less than 50,000, but now it was heading toward a million.

“What is this?”

“What? Did something go wrong? It’s okay. You are still growing, so you can fail….”

“…We hit the jackpot.”

When he refreshed the channel, it was definitely over a million. Moreover, the first exploration episode, which was becoming a hot topic, had already been viewed by close to five million. Thanks to that, attention was drawn to the other videos they uploaded so far.

“It seems like your clothes are already paid for.”

“Wow…!”

Ruchel’s eyes lit up as she looked at Ban Yu-won. It was as if there were hearts in her eyes.

‘If you respond honestly to capitalism like this, I’ll be embarrassed.’

“A male full of power…!”

Ban Yu-won doubted his ears for a moment.

“What did you just say?”

“Oh, I just thought you were a capable man!”

‘That’s right. I heard it wrong, right?’

Ban Yu-won laughed ​​and exchanged a smile with her. He considered that the Ambition overflowing from Ruchel was something he saw wrong.

…He collected them all, though.
