The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Ranger Training (2)

“Perform 10 repetitions of each exercise, from number 1 to 14. How many repetitions?”

“””10 repetitions!”””

The trainees answered Jung Minwoo’s question energetically, but.

“Your voices are too quiet. Perform 100 repetitions. How many repetitions?”

He didn’t seem to like the volume of their voices and added more repetitions.

“””100 repetitions!!”””

When the trainees answered in even louder voices than before.

“Still too quiet. Perform 1,000 repetitions. How many repetitions?”

Jung Minwoo shook his head and increased the number of repetitions again.

‘At this rate, the number will keep going up endlessly……?’

‘……It doesn’t seem too difficult, but I don’t like the increasing number of repetitions.’

‘Just how loud do we have to answer……?’

The trainees, sensing a bad omen.

“””1,000 repetitions!!!”””

They answered with veins bulging in their necks, and only then.

“Good, 1,000 repetitions.”

Did Jung Minwoo nod his head in satisfaction and begin the PT exercises.

Beep beep beep!

One!

Beep beep beep beep beep!

Two!

Beep beep beep!

Three!

Beep beep beep beep beep!

Four!

Since he wasn’t using 마기 (Demonic Energy) to weigh down their bodies, the trainees carried out the PT exercises with relatively relaxed faces.

Watching them, Jung Minwoo thought.

‘Oh? They’re following along well?’

He was a bit impressed that they were able to copy the exercises without a single error just by watching him once.

It was true that they were insignificant compared to him, but.

‘Is this because they’re demons, even if they’re trash?’

He couldn’t deny the fact that they were superior compared to higher beings.

‘There’s nothing to nitpick.’

Seeing how they were doing, it seemed highly likely that the PT exercises would be finished by the morning.

‘Of course, that’s assuming things go smoothly.’

However, Jung Minwoo was certain that things wouldn’t go that smoothly.

If you were to ask how he could be so sure, the reason was simple.

It was because he had separately devised a trick to prevent it from ending like that.

‘It would be a shame to just end it like this, wouldn’t it?’

Jung Minwoo smiled slyly to himself and looked at the trainees diligently doing their PT exercises.

‘Those relaxed expressions will soon be crumpled up.’

When they finished all the exercises from number 1 to 14.

“Everyone seems to be in good shape.”

He could see the trainees not even out of breath.

“As expected, demons should have basic physical strength.”

Jung Minwoo scanned the trainees and then.

“It’s a relief that there are no trashy demons who can’t even do simple math.”

He gave them a compliment that wasn’t really a compliment.

“We’ll finish up by doing 100 repetitions of PT exercise number 8, the full-body twist.”

Only 100 repetitions for a single exercise.

“””Yes!!!”””

Smiles naturally formed on the trainees’ faces at the thought of getting to rest soon.

“There will be no final call-out. Keep in mind that if you shout the final call-out, additional repetitions will be added.”

“””Yes!!!”””

It wasn’t difficult at all since they just had to avoid shouting the last number.

“Good. 100 repetitions of full-body twist, exercise number 8.”

The PT exercises resumed, and.

Beep beep beep!

Ninety-nine!

Time passed, and only the last repetition remained.

‘Once I finish this, I can rest.’

‘I have to minimize the training time to maximize my rest time.’

‘He scared us so much, but it’s nothing special, right?’

‘I was worried for nothing.’

‘At this rate, even 200 days won’t be that difficult.’

Beep beep beep beep beep!

It was the moment when the PT exercises would be over if they just skipped the final call-out.

“Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”

One of the trainees shouted the final call-out in a loud voice.

“””……”””

They glared at the trainee who shouted the call-out.

“Ah! I made a mistake.”

The clumsy-looking trainee scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

“I clearly said to skip the final call-out, didn’t I? It’s disappointing that you can’t even do something this simple.”

“””Ye, yes.”””

“Since you shouted the final call-out, we’ll do 1,000 repetitions. How many repetitions?”

“””1,000 repetitions!!!”””
T h i s w a s c o pi ed f ro m k i n gmt l . or g

“Good, 1,000 repetitions!”

The trainees let out light sighs and glanced at the trainee who made the mistake.

They gave him a look that pressured him not to shout the final call-out this time and started doing the PT exercises.

Beep beep beep!

Nine hundred ninety-nine!

Time passed again, and only the last repetition remained.

Beep beep beep beep beep!

“Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!!”

One of the trainees shouted the final call-out.

They glared at the trainee who made the mistake, and this time, it was a different one.

‘No way, there’s a guy like that here?’

‘He made a mistake on something so easy?’

‘Hah, is he kidding?’

‘Is he doing that on purpose?’

‘Should I kill him?’

Seeing that, the trainees couldn’t help but feel deep anger at the fact that such a dimwitted demon was part of their group.

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo, who was watching the trainees getting agitated.

‘Hehehe, it’s going to be a problem if their expressions crumple already.’

He was feeling a thrill seeing that the demons seemed to be getting a taste of the true essence of ranger training.

‘But what to do? The final call-out will keep being shouted.’

As you can tell from his words, it was Jung Minwoo’s trick that made them shout the final call-out.

‘I’ve generously deployed 100 shadows, so they can shout the final call-out without hesitation.’

He had created 100 shadows and placed them among the trainees after giving each shadow a different face.

In other words, the PT exercises would continue until he decided to stop them.

“The trainees’ lack of intelligence is making me hear the sound of the demon’s reputation plummeting all the way here.”

“””……Yes!”””

“Aren’t you ashamed to be working under the Demon Lord with that level of ability?”

“””Ye, yes!”””

“Do you think it’s right for me, the Demon Lord, to be training you dimwits?”

“””Ye, yes.”””

“Don’t tarnish my reputation for no reason. Why don’t you just quit right now?”

“””N, no!”””

“I told you to answer with ‘Yes’!”

“””Yes!!!”””

Fearful that they might actually be cut from the training right there, the trainees trembled and answered energetically.

“Skip the final call-out, and perform 10,000 repetitions of each exercise from number 1 to 14. How many repetitions?”

“””10,000 repetitions!!!”””

“Begin!!!”

“””Yes!!!”””

Afterward, the trainees tried hard not to shout the final call-out, but as trainees who shouted the final call-out kept appearing, the number of repetitions steadily increased.

As the number grew exponentially, the PT exercises, which were supposed to end by morning, had now continued for a month.

At first, the trainees were full of energy and only felt annoyed, but.

“””Huff, huff, huff!”””

After a month of nonstop physical activity, they reached their physical limits.

Moreover, as their physical strength reached its limit, they became mentally fatigued, leading to frequent mistakes.

“Who shouted the final call-out? Again!!!”

For example, most of the trainees made the mistake of shouting the final call-out.

“Why are you doing exercise number 6 when you’re supposed to be doing exercise number 4?!”

They were getting confused about the order of the PT exercises.

And what made the trainees suffer the most was.

“Trainee number 123, your posture is incorrect.”

“One person’s mistake is everyone’s mistake. I’ll crush your bodies with 마기 (Demonic Energy) for 10 minutes.”

If their posture faltered, he would crush their bodies with 마기 (Demonic Energy), draining their physical and mental strength.

As mistakes became more frequent with time, they tried to cheat by not shouting the call-out at all, but.

“Trainee number 333, aren’t you shouting the call-out?!”

“Hey, who told you to cheat? Do you want to die?”

“……Trainee number 444 didn’t shout the call-out.”

“Is training a joke to you?! Ribbit, ribbit!!!”

They were caught by the instructors and had to restart the PT exercises from the beginning.

Thud—

When a trainee collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

“Break time. You can sit down and rest.”

For the first time, the word ‘rest’ came out of Jung Minwoo’s mouth.

“””Huff, huff, yes!”””

The trainees hurriedly answered and collapsed onto the ground, afraid that Jung Minwoo might change his mind.

“Everyone, listen while you rest.”

“””……Yes!”””

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the trainees wiped their sweat and laboriously lifted their heads.

“This Demon Lord is very disappointed in you all.”

“””……”””

“I’m talking about how you’re in this state because you couldn’t even manage to skip the final call-out.”

“””……”””

The trainees smiled wryly, as if ashamed.

‘Well, we are dimwits who can’t even skip the final call-out, so it’s understandable that the Demon Lord-nim would be displeased.’

‘We’re part of the Demon Lord’s forces, but to show such a disgraceful sight……’

‘We deserve to be cut.’

They inwardly blamed themselves for their incompetence.

‘At this rate, we’re no different from Andromalius.’

‘What makes me different from the incompetent previous Demon Lord?’

They also felt ashamed for having missed the previous Demon Lord before the training started.

They were thinking that they wanted to bury their faces in a hole if they could find one when.

“However, I also understand.”

Unexpected words came out of Jung Minwoo’s mouth.

“It’s easy to do it alone, but it’s not easy for 1,000 people to move as one.”

“””……”””

“However, since you’ve all gathered as one group under the Demon Lord’s forces, you must be able to move as one, even if it’s difficult.”

“””……”””

“The training will be tough, but I hope you all work together and overcome it.”

Touched by his encouraging words, the trainees’ eyes welled up with tears.

“Do you all understand?”

“””Yes!!!”””

In response to his following question, the trainees wiped the tears from their eyes and answered energetically.

“Good. Skip the final call-out, and we’ll do 100 repetitions of each exercise from number 1 to 14.”

100 repetitions.

It seemed like a small number compared to the millions they had been doing.

“””100 repetitions!!!”””

The trainees realized that Jung Minwoo was being considerate and resolved to succeed this time.

“Begin!!!”

“””Yes!!!”””

Following the sound of Jung Minwoo’s whistle, the trainees shouted energetically.

Burning, burning, burning—

As if to make up for their previous disgraceful performance, the trainees’ eyes were filled with fervor.

They finished exercises 1 to 14 and only the last repetition remained.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n gm t l . o r g

The trainees felt their mouths itching to shout and bit their lower lips hard.

Beep beep beep beep beep!

And when the final whistle blew.

Chuck—

No one shouted the final call-out.

“We, we did it!!!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki ng m t l . o rg
“Damn it, we did it!”

“I knew you guys could do it!”

“You see? You can do it if you try, you bastards!”

The trainees felt ecstatic that they had succeeded after a month and hugged each other.

Was it because they had miraculously succeeded?

Everyone had bright smiles on their faces as they hugged each other.

That day, the trainees felt the emotion of ‘comradeship’ for the first time in their lives.

“Congratulations on succeeding, but…… who said you could move? Everyone, get down and give me push-ups!!!”
Th is w as c o p i e d fro m ki ngm t l . o r g

“””Ye, yes!”””

Of course, because they moved without orders, the trainees ended up getting punished.

Afterward, the trainees had to do an additional hour of punishment before they could enjoy their well-deserved rest.
