The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Promotion Exam (2)

Training every day without a single day of rest, the day of the promotion exam finally arrived.

‘I should head to the exam venue now.’

Checking the time, Jung Minwoo turned his gaze to the Demon Communion members and spoke.

“Let’s move to the exam venue now.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the Demon Communion members nodded their heads vigorously and replied.

“Okay.”

“Let’s go quickly.”

“…Yes.”

“Let’s go and pass with flying colors! Ribbit, ribbit.”

It was a test with ranks at stake, so it would be natural to be nervous, but.

‘Everyone is overflowing with confidence.’

Not a single demon among them was nervous.

‘That means they prepared thoroughly.’

They had diligently prepared for a long time for the promotion exam, and they even had time to check the results of their efforts, so it was natural for their confidence to rise.

‘Definitely, it doesn’t seem like they’ll fail.’

Looking at the reliable Demon Communion members, Jung Minwoo had a strong conviction that they would be able to pass the exam without difficulty.

‘All I have to do is do well.’

As they headed to the exam venue.

‘…There are a lot of demons.’

The building was swarming with demons.

‘…It’s like an entire empire has been moved here?’

He knew from Satan that many demons took the exam every time, but Jung Minwoo hadn’t expected it to be this much.

“Now that we’ve arrived at the exam venue, shall we go straight to the waiting room?”

The thought of having to push through that crowd made him feel like he was already experiencing extreme fatigue, but.

‘I can’t just not take the exam.’

He had to get through the crowd to take the exam anyway.

“…Let’s.”

“Ugh, how long will it take to get through that crowd?”

“…There are too many.”

“…Ribbit, ribbit.”

T hi s w a s co p i ed f ro m k i ngmt l . o r g
The Demon Communion members also seemed to have the same thoughts as Jung Minwoo, as they showed disgusted expressions.

“Let’s go.”

As Jung Minwoo started walking.

“””…”””

The Demon Communion members followed suit.

After pushing through the crowd and making their way forward.

“…We’re here.”

They managed to arrive in front of the ‘4th Rank’ waiting room.

“We’ll be back.”

“I’ll definitely pass and come back.”

“…Thanks for bringing us here.”

“Minwoo, we’ll be back! Ribbit, ribbit.”

After a brief exchange of greetings, the Demon Communion members entered the ‘4th Rank’ waiting room.

‘Shall I enter the waiting room too?’

He could be worried about having to push through that crowd again, but.

‘It’s a good thing the waiting rooms are right next to each other. Otherwise, I would have been exhausted before even taking the exam.’

Fortunately, the ‘3rd Rank’ waiting room was right next door, so there was no need to push through the crowd.

‘I wonder how many demons there will be?’

Jung Minwoo pulled the doorknob of the ‘3rd Rank’ waiting room and entered.

‘There are surprisingly few?’

He could see about a thousand demons sitting in the waiting room.

‘It’s good for me if there are fewer people.’

Satisfied with the smaller number than expected, he found an empty seat and sat down.

“Is that him?”

“The rookie who luckily became a 4th Rank demon right after graduation?”

“I heard he invaded two planets?”

“It must have been thanks to the Demon Lord’s support.”

“I wonder if he’s as capable as the rumors say?”

Whispers from around him reached his ears.

‘There are always guys like that wherever you go.’

Jung Minwoo raised his head and looked around at the demons.

‘They’re wary.’

He could see that their eyes were filled with vigilance.

‘They’re pathetic bugs.’

Jung Minwoo shook his head and clicked his tongue.

‘It would be more beneficial for them to think about how they’re going to approach this promotion exam instead of wasting their time gossiping about me.’

None of the guys badmouthing him would pass this promotion exam.

‘If anyone’s going to pass, it’ll be that guy.’

A man who hadn’t even glanced at him once and was immersed in meditation.

Jung Minwoo had a hunch that this demon would be his rival in this promotion exam.

‘Shall I check him out?’

It wouldn’t hurt to know the information of a potential rival in advance, so Jung Minwoo immediately used ‘Heaven’s Eye’.

【Loading information on ‘Oren’】

‘Oren?’

Seeing the message window that popped up, Jung Minwoo realized that he was one of the three demons Satan had mentioned.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Oren

Gender: Male

Age: 3,000 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 4th Rank

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Precognitive Three Eyes

Current Emotion: Calm

After checking the information window, Jung Minwoo looked at the unique trait with intrigued eyes.

‘Precognitive Three Eyes… It’s quite an impressive name.’

Jung Minwoo clicked on the unique trait to see what its effect was.

【Precognitive Three Eyes】

Can see 3 seconds into the future without restrictions.

However, it can only be used during combat.

‘…The effect is quite significant, isn’t it?’

After reading the description, Jung Minwoo realized that this demon wasn’t receiving attention for nothing.

‘It’s broken.’

One might wonder if seeing 3 seconds into the future was broken, but.

T h i s w a s co pi ed fr om k in g mtl . o r g
‘In a situation where a battle is decided in a split second, 3 seconds is a huge advantage.’
T h is w a s c o pie d f r o m k i n g m t l . org

It had the drawback of only being usable in combat, but the effect itself was so good that it didn’t feel like a drawback.

However, even though Oren had a broken unique trait, Jung Minwoo wasn’t envious at all.

‘Because my unique traits are even more broken.’

This was because the four unique traits he possessed were better than the one Oren possessed.

‘It would be quite fun if I got to spar with him.’

As he was looking forward to a potential spar with ‘Oren’.

“Hello? You’re Jung Minwoo, right?”

A demon spoke to him in a friendly voice.

He turned his head in the direction of the voice.

“Nice to meet you. My name is ‘Fasti’.”

A woman with a ponytail introduced herself with a bright smile.

‘Fasti…’

From her introduction, he knew that she was another one of the three notable demons.

“Yeah, nice to meet you.”

Jung Minwoo greeted her and at the same time used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ to see her information.

【Loading information on ‘Fasti’】

As Heaven’s Eye activated, a new information window appeared.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Fasti

Gender: Female

Age: 2,800 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 4th Rank

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Weakness Grasp

Current Emotion: Interest

‘Weakness Grasp?’

He then checked the effect of her unique trait.

【Weakness Grasp】

Identifies weaknesses through observation of the opponent’s information, conversation, and actions.

When attacking a weakness, five times the damage can be inflicted.

He realized why she had spoken to him.

‘She was trying to identify my weaknesses through conversation?’

He wondered if he actually had any weaknesses, but.

‘Just in case, it’s best not to engage.’

T h i s w a s c op ied f r o m ki n g m tl .org
It never hurt to be careful, so he decided to ignore Fasti’s words.

“I was curious what a demon who invaded two planets would look like, and now I finally get to see you?”

“…”

“I think you’re kind of handsome? I actually expected you to look gloomy.”

T hi s w a s c op i e d fr o m k in gmt l. org
“…”

“But why aren’t you saying anything?”

“…”

“Ah! Are you nervous because I’m talking to you?”

“…”

“Hehe, you’re cute?”

“…”

“…Hey, say something.”

Fasti was momentarily flustered by Jung Minwoo’s one-sided ignoring, but.

“Ignoring me right in front of me? You know that’s very rude, right?”

She didn’t seem to have any intention of giving up, as she sat next to him and continued to chatter.

‘She’s annoying.’

T h is wa s c opi ed f ro m ki n g m tl .o r g
Just as Jung Minwoo was thinking about moving seats.

Crackle—

‘Hmm?’

He spotted a demon sitting in the corner glaring at him fiercely.

‘What’s with him?’

Jung Minwoo laughed inwardly at the look in his eyes, as if he was looking at his archenemy.

‘I haven’t done anything to deserve his resentment?’

Jung Minwoo felt puzzled by the demon’s behavior and used ‘Mind’s Eye’ to understand the reason.

【How dare you ignore the cute little Fasti?】

After reading his thoughts, Jung Minwoo realized that the reason was rather trivial.

【If I get to spar with you, I’ll cripple you for life! The price for ignoring Fasti is not light.】

Also, the price he was demanding for ignoring someone once seemed quite steep.

‘Since it’s confirmed that he’ll be a nuisance, I might as well check his information.’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ to see if he was all talk or if he had the skills to back it up.
This w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . or g

【Loading information on ‘Career’】

As Heaven’s Eye activated, a new information window appeared.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Career

Gender: Male

Age: 2,800 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 4th Rank

Alignment: Evil

Unique Trait: Momentary Reflection

Current Emotion: Interest

‘He was the last one of the three?’

He had thought he was a weakling because of his petty behavior, but he was wrong.

‘…But his unique trait is a bit strange?’

Momentary Reflection.

‘Does it mean he can reflect power?’

He didn’t know yet because he hadn’t seen its effect, but judging by the name alone, it seemed like the strongest unique trait among the three.

‘Shall I check its effect?’

【Momentary Reflection】

When using this unique trait, you must be attacked by the enemy for 15 minutes.

Counterattacks are not allowed while being attacked.

Also, after enduring attacks for 15 minutes, you must be attacked on the palm of your hand last to return 100 times the damage you’ve received.

If your palm is not attacked for 1 minute, the timer resets.

Jung Minwoo couldn’t hide his surprise after checking the effect.

‘It was just a flashy name for a useless unique trait?’

The effect of the unique trait was too complicated for its name.

‘I don’t have to worry about him.’

Jung Minwoo decided to ignore Career and closed the information window. At that moment.

Creak—

Click, click, click.
Th i s w as co pi e d fr om k i n g mtl. or g

A woman holding a file folder opened the waiting room door and entered.

“Greetings. My name is ‘Qil’, and I’ll be the proctor for this 3rd Rank promotion exam.”

The woman introduced herself as the proctor for the promotion exam and then.

“I’ll briefly explain the exam.”

She began explaining the 3rd Rank promotion exam.

“The exam consists of three stages, and only the final 10 will have the opportunity to be promoted to 3rd Rank.”

10 people.

Jung Minwoo was shocked by the proctor’s words.

‘…10 people?’
T h i s w a s c o p ied f ro m k in g m t l .o r g

The reason Jung Minwoo reacted this way was simple.

‘…The number of people they’re selecting is too high?’

The number of people they were selecting was much higher than he had expected.

‘I thought it would be at least 3 to 5 people… but 10?’

The competition rate was 100 to 1.

‘In my previous life, I got into a conglomerate with an even higher competition rate, so this is like they’re telling me to take it for free.’

Unlike Jung Minwoo, who thought it was a piece of cake, the demons seemed to think differently, as their expressions were all stiff.

“Did you hear that? 10 people.”

“…That’s a lot less than the 4th Rank promotion exam.”

“Aren’t they letting too few people pass?”

“…Sigh. This promotion exam won’t be easy either.”

The demons were whispering amongst themselves, whining about how difficult it was.

‘Tsk, they need to taste hell Joseon. They should be grateful.’

In hell Joseon, the basic competition rate was 100 to 1, so to Jung Minwoo, the demons seemed to be complaining about nothing.

‘To think they’re whining about such a low competition rate. These days, demons have no grit.’

T h is w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i ngmt l . o rg
Jung Minwoo shook his head, thinking that the demons had become soft.
