The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Preparation for the Promotion Exam (5)

As they stepped out of the portal.

“You’ve arrived?”

“You’re here?”

“…It’s been a while.”

“Minwoo! I missed you! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members who were waiting outside greeted them warmly, waving their hands.

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

Jung Minwoo waved back at the Jungsin Cult members and moved forward.

“Did you make any progress in the ‘Battle Space’?”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mtl .or g
He asked about their achievements over the past 100 years.

T h i s w a s c op i e d f r o m k ing m tl . or g
“Yes, fortunately, I did. Thanks to you, I can now use the whip more effectively.”

Venus replied, saying that she had spent time honing her whip skills over the past 100 years.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mtl. org
“Progress? I don’t know. I’ve just been sparring like crazy for 100 years.”

Anubis replied that she didn’t know about progress, but she had enjoyed sparring for 100 years.

“…I’ve developed my unique trait a bit more.”

Elin said she had achieved results by increasing the utility of her unique trait and raising its power.

“I also focused on using my unique trait well! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok said he had practiced his unique trait constantly and maximized the versatility of his form transformation.

‘Everyone seems to have worked hard.’

T h i s w a s co p i e d f r o m k in gm t l . o r g
Jung Minwoo smiled with satisfaction at their answers.

“Did you make any progress, Minwoo-nim?”

Venus asked about his training progress.

“Yes, I did. I acquired a new unique trait.”

“A, a unique trait?”

At Jung Minwoo’s answer, Venus and the other Jungsin Cult members couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

“I didn’t know either, but I was able to obtain it through training.”

“H, how did you get it? Could you tell us more about it?”

“It’s nothing difficult.”

After that, Jung Minwoo explained to the Jungsin Cult members how he obtained his unique trait.

“So it was possible that way.”

“Hmm, then I also have the possibility of obtaining a new unique trait?”

“…Unique trait. I have one more reason to train hard.”

“As expected of Minwoo! I should also try to get a new unique trait! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members were motivated, saying they would definitely get a new unique trait.

“We can’t stay here forever, so shall we go outside?”

“Yes.”

As Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members exited the Imperial Vault.

‘Is he here to greet us?’

They could see Elvis standing in front of the vault with a reverent posture.

‘He’s still as composed as ever, even after 100 years.’

Jung Minwoo chuckled at Elvis’ unchanged, loyal appearance and revealed himself with the Jungsin Cult members.

“You came out to greet us.”

At Jung Minwoo’s greeting, Elvis bowed deeply and greeted them.

“Greetings, Demon Lords.”

“Yes, how have you been?”

“I’ve been busy for the past 100 years.”

“Busy?”

“Yes, I’ve been focusing on preparing for the planetary invasion for the past 100 years.”

Jung Minwoo showed interest in Elvis’ words and asked what kind of preparations he had made.

“First, I’ve significantly increased the number of Sword Masters and 8th Class mages. I’ve prepared means of communication and supplies for the planetary invasion. Also, since it’s a planetary invasion, I’ve trained a large number of commanders and established 666 strategies.”

Elvis began to list what preparations he had made over the past 100 years.

‘He prepared diligently.’

Listening to the report, Jung Minwoo could see how serious Elvis was about the planetary invasion.

‘With this much preparation, there should be no problem invading the planet.’

Jung Minwoo patted Elvis on the shoulder and said.

“You’ve prepared splendidly.”

“I’ve only done what I had to do.”

“Keep up the good work for the next 100 years.”

“I’ll try my best to prepare more thoroughly for the remaining period.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it.”

A look of determination crossed Elvis’ face as if he would eliminate the variable of failure entirely.

“Then, we’ll be on our way.”

“Understood.”

After finishing their conversation, Jung Minwoo injected demonic energy into his necklace to return to the Demon World.

Whoosh.

A blue portal appeared in the air.

“I have high expectations for you. I look forward to seeing you grow even more next time.”

As Jung Minwoo bid farewell.

“I’ll be looking forward to seeing you continue to move forward.”

“Strengthening your forces is good, but you know you need to pay attention to your own strength, right?”

“…Goodbye.”

“Elvis, see you later! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members also bid farewell one after another.

“Yes, I understand!”

As Elvis saluted smartly.

“Then, we’ll be going.”

Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members waved their hands and walked into the portal.

Arriving in the Demon World.

‘He’s not here this time.’

T h i s wa s co pi e d f r o m k in g m t l . o r g
Jung Minwoo could see that Satan was not at the portal station.

‘Well, it would be too much to come every time.’

Since the demon had always greeted them when they crossed over to the Demon World, the portal station felt a bit empty without him.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i ng m t l . or g
‘It’s empty, but I feel at ease.’

Apart from the feeling of emptiness, there was a sense of mental relaxation without Satan bombarding them with words at lightning speed.

“Then, shall we move to the promotion exam venue right away?”

The promotion exam venue was in the neutral zone, not the Demon Lord’s Castle, so they had to move quickly to avoid being late.

‘Did he say it takes about 8 hours to get there?’

It would be nice to use a portal to get there immediately, but.

‘Portals are prohibited in the Demon World.’

The use of portals was prohibited because it would cause congestion.
T h i s w a s c op i ed f r o m k i ng m tl. o r g

‘What an incomprehensible policy.’

Jung Minwoo grumbled inwardly and went outside with the Jungsin Cult members.

“Hmm?”

A dazzling carriage was waiting in front of the door.

‘Who is it waiting to take?’

Jung Minwoo didn’t think deeply about it and tried to pass by the carriage.

“Hey!”

The demon sitting in the driver’s seat called out to him in a friendly voice.

‘Hmm?’

Jung Minwoo turned his gaze towards the driver’s seat.

“Did you have a good trip?”

“…”

He could see Satan sitting in the driver’s seat, waving his hand.

‘Why is he there?’

Jung Minwoo looked at Satan with a puzzled expression.

“I was waiting to take you to the promotion exam venue. Are you touched?”

Satan kindly explained why he was there.

“You didn’t have to do that…”

“Come on, you like it, don’t you?”

“…Thank you.”

“Minwoo, you sit next to me. You guys get in the carriage.”

The Jungsin Cult members bowed their heads, expressed their gratitude, and boarded the carriage.

Then Jung Minwoo moved to the driver’s seat and sat next to Satan.

“You were disappointed that I wasn’t at the portal station, weren’t you?”

Satan asked with a playful look on his face.

“No.”

Jung Minwoo shook his head and flatly denied it.

“Come on, it’s written all over your face. Are you lying?”

“…”

Satan poked Jung Minwoo’s side as if he knew everything.

“…Let’s go.”

When Jung Minwoo spoke with a serious expression.

“Okay, okay. You’re still clumsy with your emotions.”

Satan shrugged slightly and moved the carriage.

As they drove the carriage out of the Demon Lord’s Castle.

“There will be some formidable demons in this 3rd Rank promotion exam.”

Satan brought up the topic of the demons participating in the promotion exam.

“Formidable demons, you say?”

“Quite a few notable demons have flocked to the 3rd Rank promotion exam.”

No matter how formidable the demons were, Jung Minwoo was confident of winning, so he just nodded without saying anything.

“I don’t think they’ll be a match for you, but it’s always good to be careful, right?”

“I’ll be careful.”

He wasn’t going to let his guard down in the first place, but as Satan said, it wouldn’t hurt to be vigilant.

“How many notable demons are there?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Satan thought for a moment and then.

“Hmm… I’d say about three.”

He answered, holding up three fingers.

“Coincidentally, all three of them have combat-related unique traits.”

“I see.”

“I tried to find out about their unique traits, but those sneaky Demon Lords are hiding information, so I only got their names.”

“That’s enough.”

Since he could find out the opponent’s information through ‘Heaven’s Eye,’ knowing their names was all he needed to figure out their unique traits.

“Their names are ‘Career,’ ‘Oren,’ and ‘Fasti.'”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jung Minwoo nodded, recalling the names Satan had called.

‘This will be a good opportunity to use the new unique trait I’ve acquired.’

He had been disappointed that he couldn’t properly use the new unique trait he had obtained in the ‘Battle Space,’ but it seemed like good opponents had appeared to test it out, so he was pleased.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing what the other demons are capable of.’

Jung Minwoo had a feeling that this would be a rather interesting promotion exam.

After arriving in the neutral zone.

“Make sure you all pass the exam.”

Satan left words of encouragement and departed.

‘So this is the neutral zone.’

Jung Minwoo looked around, feeling a sense of wonder at a place he was experiencing for the first time outside the Demon Lord’s Castle.

‘That Colosseum-like building must be the promotion exam venue.’

As he looked around, he spotted a huge building that looked like a Colosseum.

“Let’s hurry up and apply for the promotion exam.”

He said as he moved towards the building.

“Okay.”

“Let’s go right away!”

“…Amazing.”

“Let’s hurry up and apply. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members nodded and followed him.

As they entered the Colosseum-like building.

‘That must be where they accept applications.’

He found a place that said ‘Promotion Exam Application Desk.’

As they moved towards the application desk to take the promotion exam.

“Are you promotion exam applicants?”

A demon asked, pushing up his glasses.

“Yes, that’s right.”

When they replied that they were applicants.

“Please fill out the form and submit it.”

He handed them a form and a pen, asking them to fill in the blanks.

‘This is no different from Earth.’

He had wondered if the application process would be different because it was the Demon World, but it seemed to be done in a fairly ordinary way.

After Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members filled out the form and submitted it.

“The exam category is ‘Sparring,’ and the exam date is one week from today at this location, so please be aware of that.”
T his w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g

The demon announced the category and date.
Th i s wa s c opi e d f ro m ki n g mtl .o r g

‘One week… That’s quite a lot of time.’

He had been in a hurry because he thought it would take a long time to apply, but it had ended so quickly that he had unexpected free time.

‘He said there was a sparring arena nearby, right?’

Since he had the time, he thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to spar with the Jungsin Cult members and check how much they had achieved in 100 years.

“We have time, so shall we spar?”

At Jung Minwoo’s suggestion, the Jungsin Cult members seemed to have the same thought and agreed without hesitation.

“Okay, let’s go right away.”

As they entered the sparring arena inside the building.

‘Everyone must have gathered here.’
T h i s was c o pi ed f r o m k i n g m t l . or g

Numerous demons were present in the sparring arena.

‘I wonder if there’s any space left?’

He looked around to see if there was any space to spar.

‘They’re all occupied.’

There was no space left because all the demons taking the promotion exam had flocked to this place.

As he was wondering if they should just go back.

“Master, it’s been a while.”

A familiar voice came from behind him.

‘Who is it?’

Jung Minwoo wondered if there was anyone who would call him ‘Master’ and turned his head.

“It’s an honor to meet you here.”

There stood Owl, an early member of the Jungsin Cult and the demon who had tried to play tricks with poison and ended up becoming a slave through a contract.
