The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Unique Trait (1)

After the entrance ceremony, Jung Minwoo followed the demon who introduced himself as the instructor out of the auditorium.

As he followed the instructor, they arrived at their destination.

“This is where you will be staying for the next six months.”

Instead of a nameplate indicating the grade and class, they entered a classroom with a trident drawn on it.

‘It’s just smaller in size; there’s not much difference from the auditorium.’

T hi s w a s co p i e d f r o m k i ng m t l. o r g
The inside of the classroom resembled the auditorium with a blackboard and desks added.

“Everyone, take a seat wherever you like.”

At the instructor’s words, the demons began to sit down one by one at their desired spots.

“Where shall we sit? Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Frog Man, who luckily ended up in the same class, asked where they should sit.

“Let’s sit in the front row, right there.”

“……There? I’m not so sure about seeing the scary instructor up close. Ribbit, ribbit.”

At the Frog Man’s words, Jung Minwoo said with a determined expression.

“Competition starts from the seating. If you wish to die, go sit in the back. I’m going to sit there.”

In his previous life, Jung Minwoo always sat in the front row.

It was a spot where he could focus more on the class while feeling a deeper connection with the teacher, and it also had the effect of imprinting his image, making it useful for building relationships.

“Oh, no. I’ll do that. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Perhaps frightened by the word ‘death,’ the Frog Man nodded repeatedly.

“Alright, let’s go sit.”

As Jung Minwoo sat down on the chair, the Frog Man hesitantly sat next to him.

Around the time everyone assigned to this classroom had taken their seats,

“If you look in the drawer of the desk you’re sitting at, you’ll find the textbooks for the upcoming classes. Check them out.”

The instructor ordered them to check the textbooks.

‘……Why are there so many books?’

T h is wa s c o p i e d f r om ki n gm t l.o r g
Following the order, Jung Minwoo checked the desk drawer and found twice as many books as his major textbooks from his university days.

“And you’ll find numbers written on the desks and chairs.”

At the instructor’s words, Jung Minwoo stopped checking the textbooks and shifted his gaze towards the desk.

[1]

The number ‘1’ was written on it.

Th i s w a s cop i e d f r o m k in g m t l .o r g
“From now on, you’ll be called by that number until you graduate. Keep that in mind.”

As the instructor continued to explain, Jung Minwoo smiled contentedly to himself.

‘Number 1…… Feels good, doesn’t it?’

Jung Minwoo resolved to pass everything with top marks, just like his assigned number, and graduate as the valedictorian.

“Then, I’ll briefly explain the upcoming class schedule.”

The class schedule.

Jung Minwoo perked up his ears to catch every word from the instructor, as he needed to strategize according to the schedule for the next six months.

T hi s wa s c o p i ed fr o m k i n gm t l . o rg
“Exams will be held once every two months, for a total of three times.”

The instructor waved his hand.

Woo―oong.

A black space appeared in mid-air, and the instructor pulled out a piece of paper from it.

“The exam subjects are written on this paper, so everyone take one and check.”

Taaak―

Then, the instructor snapped his fingers.
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n gm t l. org

Whirr―

The papers flew up in unison and landed on each desk.

‘Demons can do this kind of thing too……’

Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but be amazed by the instructor’s display.

‘……Can I also use magic like that in the future?’

For a moment, he was lost in thought.

‘Let’s not focus on things I can’t do yet. Checking the schedule is more important now.’

Pulling himself together, he checked the paper.

1. A demon wears a suit.

2. A demon managing the lowly.

3. A demon is highly capable.

Upon checking the exam subjects, Jung Minwoo felt confused as if he had fallen into an abnormal state.

‘……What kind of nonsense is this?’

He could read the words, but he couldn’t grasp their meaning.

“As you’ve all checked, don’t be complacent thinking it’s easy, and work hard, everyone.”

I don’t understand?

The words “I don’t understand” rose to his throat, but

‘……It wouldn’t be good to get branded as a fool by asking a question.’

First impressions are hard to change, so it was always best to make a good impression at the beginning.

‘But it’s also dangerous to just let it go without understanding……’

While Jung Minwoo was agonizing internally, unable to do anything,

“Excuse me…… Instructor-nim, I don’t understand what kind of exams these are, even after looking at them. Can you explain the exams?”

A demon from the back asked the instructor a question that was like a ray of hope.

‘Nice.’
Th i s w as c o p ie d f ro m k i n g m t l. o rg

Jung Minwoo let out a sigh of relief inwardly and focused on the instructor’s words.

“Tsk, you don’t understand even after seeing it? The exams will cover theory, monster management, and unique trait utilization.”

The instructor clicked his tongue softly.

‘Why didn’t you just write it like that in the first place? Why write it in such a weird way?’

Jung Minwoo chuckled inwardly after hearing the explanation.

He really wanted to argue, but

‘Hold on, hold on.’

Jung Minwoo calmed himself, reminding himself of his determination to get first place no matter what.

“And today’s classes will cover history for the first three periods, and in the fourth period, we will be activating unique traits.”

At the instructor’s words, Jung Minwoo tilted his head.

‘Unique trait?’

It wasn’t a strange name like the exam subjects, so it wasn’t difficult to guess.

‘Seeing as it includes the word ‘unique,’ it probably means that each demon has a different ability, right?’

Also, the fact that they were activating it implied that help was definitely needed for that process.

“Keep that in mind, and listen well to the first class.”

The instructor, having seemingly conveyed everything he needed to, left the classroom without hesitation.

After a short while,

Creak―

Thud!

A demon with a sterner face than the previous instructor entered the classroom.

‘It’s finally starting.’

Jung Minwoo felt anticipation for his first class after reincarnation.

“Take out the book titled ‘History of the Demon World.'”

Thi s w a s c o p i ed f ro m k i n gm t l . o r g
At the new instructor’s words, Jung Minwoo took out the book titled ‘History of the Demon World’ from his desk drawer.

“Let’s begin the class.”

And the instructor opened the book and immediately started the lesson.

While the exam subjects were bizarre, the class itself was more normal than expected.

‘This is quite interesting?’

It felt like a world straight out of a fantasy, making the class engaging.

T hi s wa s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Due to such incidents, the Demon God and the Pigeons signed a peace treaty, agreeing not to invade each other’s territories.”

For reference, Pigeons referred to the gods of the Celestial Realm.

“However, a problem arose from this. Since they stopped fighting, the amount of holy power and demonic energy decreased.”

Demonic energy.

It was the primal energy that allowed demons to utilize their abilities.

“To solve this problem, the Celestial Realm replenished holy power through higher beings, and we obtained demonic energy through the negative energy and corruption or contracts of higher beings.”

And so, after the general story from the birth of the Demon God to the present day was over,

Caw, caw, caw.

Right on time, the bell signaling the end of class rang through the speakers.

‘Do crows live here too?’

He briefly entertained a silly thought, but then

“Everyone, head to the Grand Auditorium. You’ll be activating your unique traits there.”

The instructor closed the book and ordered them to go to the auditorium.

“I hope I get a good unique trait. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Frog Man, who had been one with his desk with his long tongue hanging out until just a moment ago, spoke with sparkling eyes.

“Yeah, I hope I get a good one too.”

Jung Minwoo said to the Frog Man as he got up from his seat.

“Let’s hurry. We might get disposed of like at the entrance ceremony if we’re late.”

“Ah! Let’s move right away. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Afterward, they arrived at the front of the Grand Auditorium with the Frog Man, and

“……”

They saw a line stretching out like the Great Wall of China behind the door.

“Let’s go stand at the back of the line for now.”

It would be troublesome if the line got even longer while they were just standing there blankly, so Jung Minwoo and the Frog Man quickly joined the queue.

“This is going to take quite a while, isn’t it?”

“Will it be over by dinner tonight? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Jung Minwoo didn’t know how the unique trait activation would be carried out, but if they processed one person at a time, it wouldn’t be over even tonight.

As they waited, chatting with the Frog Man,

[Please enter.]

An announcement came from the speaker installed in the hallway, and at the same time,

Screech―

Thud!

The tightly closed auditorium door opened.

As they entered following the line, they could see the massive demon from the morning seated on the platform.

“Take your seats.”

At the massive demon’s command, the demons began to scramble for seats.

“Your behavior has improved compared to the morning, but it’s still slow. I’d like to see you act faster next time.”

The massive demon spoke with a smile, seemingly encouraging them to do better.

“Then, I’ll briefly explain the unique trait activation.”

The massive demon on the platform lightly clapped his hands.

Whirr―

The hologram they saw in the morning appeared in mid-air.

“A unique trait is a special quality that each demon possesses. In other words, you can think of it as individuality.”

The massive demon waved his hand.

Two figures in the shape of demons appeared on the hologram floating in mid-air.

“Unique traits are classified into combat and mental types. After your unique trait is activated, you can develop it and use it for invasion.”

The massive demon waved his hand again.

The hologram disappeared, and then

Boom―!

The ceiling cracked open, and a giant eye-shaped structure emerged.

“When that eye opens, your unique traits will be activated. Once activated, you’ll understand its effects, so report to the instructor in front of you and demonstrate it ‘then.'”

Jung Minwoo gulped as he looked at the giant structure.

‘What kind of unique trait will I get?’

The world he lived in before his reincarnation was extremely ordinary, so these elements made him feel even more excited.

At the same time, he also felt worried that if he got a bad unique trait, he would fall behind other demons.

“Then, I will open the eye.”

And as soon as the demon finished speaking,

Crack, crack, crack―

The giant eye slowly began to open.

‘……Huh.’

Looking at the eye, he saw that it was entirely black, with no distinction between the white and the pupil.

As he was looking at the giant eye,

Tingle―

‘!?’

He suddenly felt a strong wave of dizziness.

‘Ugh!’

Jung Minwoo turned his head to look around, and

“Ugh……”

He saw that he wasn’t the only one; other demons were also clutching their heads.

‘You didn’t say it would be painful……!’

Jung Minwoo complained, suffering from the overwhelming pain.

He wondered if he would pass out from the pain, but then

【Activating demon’s unique trait……】

【Activating human’s unique trait……】

Message windows appeared before his eyes, and then

【Human soul found in a demon’s body. Error detected. 】

‘Human soul? Error detected?’

Jung Minwoo felt puzzled as he looked at the message window, but then

【Error, error, error, error】

“Ugh, ugh!!!”

The pain intensified as the error window kept popping up.

‘……Damn it!’

The pain was worse than when he was hit by a dump truck.

“Uggghhhh!”

As he foamed at the mouth and his consciousness faded,

【Error successfully corrected. Activating both demon and human unique traits.】

The pain vanished as quickly as it came, along with a message saying his traits had been activated.

“Huff, huff.”

Jung Minwoo breathed heavily, looking at the message window with questioning eyes.

‘You’re saying I got two unique traits……?’
