The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Demon Servant (2)

After the assembly.

“Everyone, focus.”

A class was in full swing in the classroom.

Some demons were lying down, sleeping, bored with the class.

“I’m pleased to see your good class attitude.”

Today, there wasn’t a single demon sleeping in the instructor’s class.

That’s because today’s lesson was about how to make a contract with higher beings to turn them into Demon Servants.

“The method of turning a higher being into a Demon Servant is quite simple.”

The instructor held up a piece of chalk and began writing something on the blackboard.

“You must include this section when writing the contract terms.”

Jung Minwoo shifted his gaze to where the instructor pointed.

‘Party A’ must provide ‘Party B’ with demonic energy, and in return, ‘Party B’ must pledge loyalty to ‘Party A’.

‘Party B’ cannot refuse ‘Party A’s orders.

If an order is refused, ‘Party B’ will die.

‘Party B’ cannot harm ‘Party A’.

If an order is refused, ‘Party B’ will die.

.

.

‘Party B’ cannot lie to ‘Party A’.

If a lie is uttered, ‘Party B’ will die.

‘It’s so long…’

The lengthy contract terms were densely written on the blackboard.

‘Even I would have a hard time memorizing this.’

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k in g mtl. org
Jung Minwoo was confident in his memorization skills, but he couldn’t memorize the contract terms written all over the blackboard at once.

‘I’ll have to write this down.’

His hand ached from writing so many contract terms.

‘But it means the contract is being made without any loopholes, so I should think positively.’

If he just wrote this down, he wouldn’t be scammed by the contract.

“Here, you, as ‘Party A’, decide how much demonic energy you will give.”

At the instructor’s words, a demon raised his hand and asked.

“Can I give all of my demonic energy?”

The instructor shook his head and answered the demon’s question.

“No. If you do that, you will be annihilated and die.”

Annihilation.

Demons had no lifespan, so they could live forever if they wanted to.

However, there were two things they had to avoid in order to live forever.

The first was losing all of their demonic energy.

The second was being killed.

“I, I see.”

The demon who had asked the question trembled and carefully lowered his hand.

“Then, what happens if I only give a little bit of demonic energy?”

The instructor kindly answered another demon’s question.

“If you give only a small amount of demonic energy, it’s worse than giving none at all.”

“…Yes?”

The demon tilted his head, as if he didn’t understand the instructor’s words.

“Well, to put it simply, you only end up with disadvantages.”

He began to explain in more detail.

“Just like Pigeons are weak to demonic energy, demons are weak to holy power. Then, a Demon Servant who received demonic energy from a demon will also be vulnerable to holy power. However, unlike us, they have less demonic energy, so they won’t be able to harm Pigeons or priests.”

The demon nodded, as if he understood the instructor’s explanation.

‘This information alone is enough, but there might be information I don’t know, so it would be good to check it out with Mind’s Eye.’

Meanwhile, after hearing the explanation, Jung Minwoo decided to use Mind’s Eye on the instructor to see if he could get any other information.

Focusing his mind on the instructor.

【It would be best not to mention the fact that injecting a large amount of demonic energy can cause a Demon Servant to awaken.】

Letters combined above his head, forming the instructor’s thoughts into text.

‘…A large amount of demonic energy?’

【If I mention it, they might all pour their demonic energy into one person, and then I won’t be able to weed out the demons under the guise of practice.】

Jung Minwoo’s thoughts became complicated with the new information.

‘Awakening…’

If they awakened, they would gain even greater power than before.

‘The risk is too great.’

However, if he put in a large amount of demonic energy and the Demon Servant died, he could lose all of his demonic energy. And even if they didn’t die, the other exams would be a problem.

‘Hmm… Do I have to give up on this method…?’

T h i s w a s c o pi e d fr o m k i n g m t l. or g
Just as he was thinking about giving up.

‘…Wait.’

A brilliant idea flashed through his mind.

‘Couldn’t we do a joint contract?’

The method was a joint contract.

It was about sharing demonic energy with other demons to a higher being.

‘But is it okay to mix demonic energy from other demons?’

The idea was good, but it was a bit unsettling because it was an unverified method.
This w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

‘I guess I have no choice but to ask.’

Jung Minwoo waited for the class to end instead of asking the instructor right away.

‘It would be troublesome if other demons heard and followed suit.’

If he asked and joint contracts were possible, there would be a large number of demons trying to copy him.

As he was waiting for the class to end.

Caw, caw, caw.

The bell rang through the speaker, signaling the end of class.

“That’s all for today’s class. I hope you all do well in tomorrow’s practical.”

As the instructor left the classroom.

“I’m going to meet with the instructor for a moment. You guys go to the meeting room first.”

“Okay. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Jung Minwoo told Rok to go to the meeting room first and followed the instructor out.

“Instructor.”

After confirming that there were no other demons around, Jung Minwoo spoke to the instructor.

“Do you have a question?”

Jung Minwoo nodded at the instructor’s question and said.

“I have something I’m curious about.”

“What is it?”

“I was wondering if it’s possible to share demonic energy through a joint contract.”

At the mention of a joint contract, the instructor’s eyes lit up and he answered.

“As expected of a demon with ‘Demon Eye’, that’s a sharp question. To answer your question, you can create a Demon Servant through a joint contract.”

“I see.”

“However, demons don’t choose this method because it’s inefficient.”

“What’s the reason?”

“Because if you share the same demonic energy, the right to command becomes ambiguous.”

“I understand. May I ask how the bonus points are calculated?”

“The bonus points are given equally. Have your questions been answered?”

Jung Minwoo bowed his head at the instructor’s words and said.

“Yes, thanks to you, many of my questions have been answered.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Jung Minwoo then thanked the instructor and left.

‘Now that I know there’s no problem with making a joint contract, I need to convince them.’

And Jung Minwoo headed to the meeting room where the Demon Communion members were.

“Number 1, you’re late.”

Jung Minwoo shrugged at Pink Girl’s words.

“Sorry, I had something to check.”

“Well, you’re not that late, so let’s start the meeting right away.”
T hi s w as c o p i e d fro m k i n g m t l. o rg

After confirming that Jung Minwoo had taken a seat, Pink Girl brought up the topic of the meeting.

“We need to decide on the planet to go to for the practical training by today. I’d like to hear if you guys have any places in mind.”

The Demon Communion members expressed their opinions on which planet to go to.

“I’m going to a place with Beastmen.”

Werewolf chose Beastmen.

“…I’ll go for Elves.”

Ice Princess chose Elves.

“I’m going to a place with reptiles. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok chose reptiles.

“I think I’ll go to a place with Dwarves.”

Lastly, Pink Girl said she would go to a planet with Dwarves.

“Number 1, where are you thinking of going?”

Jung Minwoo put on a serious expression at Pink Girl’s question.

“Before I tell you which planet I’m going to, there’s something I want to propose to you.”

“A proposal?”

Pink Girl and the other Demon Communion members tilted their heads at his unexpected words.

“We’re going to create a Demon Servant together with a talented higher being.”

“What’s the point of creating a Demon Servant together?”

Jung Minwoo nodded at Werewolf’s question and answered.

“Yes, according to the information I got, if you inject a large amount of demonic energy, they can gain strong power through awakening.”

This time, Ice Princess asked a question at Jung Minwoo’s answer.

“…Can you explain in detail?”

“Of course.”

At her question, Jung Minwoo explained the information he had gotten to them.

“It’s a win-win situation. We can awaken them with less demonic energy through a joint contract and get bonus points.”

Th i s w as c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g
After hearing the explanation, Pink Girl was the first to show a positive reaction.

“And when we graduate, we can use them as a foothold for planetary invasion.”

“It’s attractive, but… what if we end up investing demonic energy in a dud?”

Jung Minwoo pointed to his eyes at Pink Girl’s worry.

T h i s w as c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l .o r g
“I can check their talent as long as they’re of a lower rank, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Originally, he didn’t intend to reveal his abilities, but he had to tell them in order to convince them properly.

“So what do you all want to do? Are you going to do a joint contract?”

He looked at the Demon Communion members and asked for their opinions.

Th is wa s c o p ied fr o m k i n g m t l . or g
“I’m in! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok was the first to express his agreement.

“I’m in too.”

“…Me too.”

“Me too.”

All of the Demon Communion members in the meeting room answered that they would agree.

“You won’t regret this choice.”

Just as he was feeling satisfied with their choice.

“Then, which planet are you thinking of going to?”
T h is w as c o p i e d f ro m ki ngm tl . o r g

Pink Girl asked which planet they would go to.

“The planet where humans live.”

And Jung Minwoo answered her question without hesitation.

“The planet where humans live? Is there a reason?”

Jung Minwoo answered Pink Girl’s question with a sly smile.

“Because that’s my specialty.”

Jung Minwoo had one philosophy.

People, no, demons should do what they are good at.

Therefore, instead of pioneering a new race, he decided to target humans, his area of expertise.

‘With Mind’s Eye, other races wouldn’t be difficult either…’

T hi s w a s co pi e d f r o m k in gmtl .o rg
Still, he made this choice because it would be easier to corrupt a familiar race.

“You’re saying that corrupting humans is your specialty?”

Jung Minwoo nodded at Pink Girl’s question and answered.

“Yes, humans are my specialty.”

Pink Girl made a dumbfounded expression at his confident answer.

“…This is our first practical training, how can you have a specialty?”

Indeed, from her perspective, it would be absurd for a demon going on his first practical training to talk about his area of expertise.

‘I can’t tell them I’ve been reincarnated.’

Jung Minwoo shrugged.

“I said that because I studied humans more.”

Pink Girl said with a dubious look.

“Still, isn’t it too much for us to corrupt humans?”

“Why?”

“It says in the textbook that the human race is mostly wicked, so demons can easily make bad contracts and suffer losses.”

That’s right.

As she said, humans were a wicked race, so it was a place that demon trainees and newly graduated demons avoided.

However, there was a reason why other demons still went to the planet where humans lived as a top priority.

T his w a s c o p i e d f r om ki ngm t l . o r g
“But in return, the amount of demonic energy that comes in is far greater than other races.”

Because they were wicked, they had the advantage of being able to extract more demonic energy than other races.

“But… if we make a bad contract, it’ll be a big problem.”

Jung Minwoo shook his head at Pink Girl’s words.

“That’s because those idiots are deceived by human words. If you just keep your wits about you, you won’t suffer any losses.”

“…Is that so?”

“Of course.”

Despite Jung Minwoo’s assurance, Pink Girl and the Demon Communion members showed signs of discomfort.

‘If I just push them, they might feel resentful, so I need to give them a carrot.’

Jung Minwoo offered them a carrot in case the Demon Communion members changed their minds.

“If you follow me to the planet where humans live without complaint, I’ll also help you check the talent of the higher beings you’ve chosen.”

Perhaps the carrot was convincing enough, the uncomfortable expressions disappeared, and greed filled their eyes.

“…Are you sure about that?”

“Of course, if you don’t believe me, we can even make a contract.”

“Okay. Let’s make a contract right away.”

He thought she would politely refuse, but Pink Girl took out a parchment from her pocket.

Jung Minwoo nodded and said, as he had intended to do it even without a contract.

“Okay, let’s proceed right away.”

After that, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members made a contract and returned to their respective dormitories.
