The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 271
Chapter 271: 100 Years (3)
The duel began.
“Yes! Kill him!”
T hi s w as cop i e d f r o m k i n gm t l . or g
Anubis cheered, yelling towards the demon she had bet on.
“Stab him, stab him, stab him!”
After a while, she didn’t like the demon’s movements and clutched at her chest, expressing her frustration.
“You’re missing that opportunity? Haa, this is so frustrating.”
Anubis let out a deep sigh, running her fingers through her hair.
“Ah, Anubis, calm down. Ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok was sweating, trying to calm Anubis down.
“Haa, seriously. Minwoo, can’t I fight instead?”
Unable to contain herself, she asked Jung Minwoo if she could fight instead, but……
“No, you can’t.”
Jung Minwoo refused without a moment’s hesitation.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k in g m tl . o r g
“Tsk.”
Although she knew he wouldn’t allow it, Anubis pouted and turned her head away.
She watched for a while, lips still pouting.
“Yes, yes!”
Anubis, forgetting she was pouting, began cheering again as the demon she bet on gained the upper hand.
Gulp—
As the fight reached its climax, Anubis clenched her fists with a nervous expression.
“Huryat!”
The moment the Beast Demon, as he was called, swung his sword towards his opponent to deliver the final blow……
Whoosh—
The opponent ducked, dodging the sword and simultaneously……
“This duel is my victory!”
Pow!
He struck the Beast Demon on the chin.
Thud—
As if greatly impacted, the Beast Demon, hit on his chin, collapsed to the ground and fainted.
“Ah, ah! The winner of the first duel is the Swift Demon!”
As the announcer came out to announce the winner……
“What! That skinny guy won?”
“No way, I thought he wouldn’t have any strength because he’s so slender?!”
“I thought this was a sure win, so I bet big on the Beast Demon……!”
The spectators who bet on the Beast Demon groaned, unable to accept the results.
As the spectators’ comments suggested, not many people bet on the Swift Demon because he was thin.
And the spectators who bet on the Swift Demon……
T h i s w as c o p i e d f ro m ki n gm t l .o r g
“Wooaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“How much DP did we win?!”
“F, Five times the DP? Are you kidding me?!”
They let out screams of joy.
Meanwhile, Anubis, seated in the VIP section……
“Damn it!!”
Just like the spectators who lost their DP, she couldn’t accept the outcome.
“Haa, I can’t believe I was wrong…… I’m disqualified as a Demon Lord.”
“Ah, no. To be disqualified as a Demon Lord just because you missed…… Isn’t that too harsh on yourself……? Ribbit, ribbit.”
“I can’t let this stand. I’ll definitely get it right next time and restore my wounded pride!”
“Uh…… Okay? Ribbit, ribbit.”
“This time, it’s 2,000 DP!”
“……Ribbit, ribbit?”
As if Rok’s words weren’t registering, Anubis only looked at the arena stage.
Then, another pair of contestants came out.
“Hmm.”
As if she was going to make a more careful decision this time, she carefully examined the two demons.
“It seems like he’s trained quite hard…… His muscles are minimal, just enough for combat…… Judging by the numerous scars on his body, I speculate he’s experienced a lot of actual battles.”
A cold analysis unlike her usual self.
‘Her observation skills are increasing in real time.’
Jung Minwoo inwardly admired Anubis’s ability to make rational judgments, unlike before.
‘If her observation skills increase like this, losing DP isn’t such a bad thing.’
If she honed her observation skills, she could avoid the mistake of judging opponents solely based on their demonic energy……
And it would help in battles as she could gauge their strength more accurately.
“Judging from the fact that his right arm is more developed than his left, he’s likely right-handed.”
After muttering to herself for about five minutes, Anubis……
“I choose you, Axe Master Demon!”
She chose a demon and placed her bet.
Then the duel began……
“……”
Contrary to her analysis, the demon she bet on lost.
T h i s wa s cop i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Variables always exist.”
Anubis cleared her throat and began her analysis again……
“……”
She failed continuously until the finals.
Anubis, determined not to repeat the same mistakes, observed the contestants more meticulously and carefully.
And as a result……
“Damn it! I knew it!”
After careful analysis, the demon she bet on finally won.
“Hahaha! Justice prevails!”
With this bet, she was able to recover her losses and even make a profit.
“As expected, Anubis, you’re amazing! Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Well, who do you think I am~?”
Anubis, who had seemed destined to end up with only losses, had turned the tables with her keen insight, defying expectations.
“The finals were a bit unexpected. The demon you bet on looked so frail.”
The demon Anubis had last bet on had a frail body and looked as if he could collapse at any moment.
Therefore, the spectators bet on the opponent who seemed more likely to win, allowing Anubis to reap a significant profit.
‘Who would have thought he was pretending to be weak?’
The frail-looking demon had put on an act, pretending he was about to collapse, making it seem like he barely managed to win and reach the finals.
‘Then in the finals, he dropped the act and revealed his true skills.’
Of course, Jung Minwoo, who could use Heaven’s Eye, hadn’t been fooled from the beginning.
‘But it’s surprising that Anubis saw through it.’
Jung Minwoo was impressed by Anubis’s ability to improve her observation skills so quickly.
“Minwoo, you know your Noona, right? I know my stuff.”
Anubis boasted, shrugging her shoulders.
“Ah, right. And I got a new unique trait earlier.”
“”?!””
She made an unexpected statement.
“A unique trait……?”
Jung Minwoo asked again, wondering if he had heard correctly.
“Yeah, I got ‘Battle Eye.'”
This time, she even told him the name of the unique trait.
“You got that all of a sudden?”
“Yeah, they gave it to me, saying that I’d surpassed the level of general observation.”
“……Is that so?”
Jung Minwoo was momentarily flustered before……
‘Let’s see its effect.’
He decided to check the effect of Anubis’s new unique trait using Heaven’s Eye.
【Battle Eye(戰鬪眼)】
T hi s w a s c o pie d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
— Can analyze combat level by focusing mentally.
— Can predict victory or defeat with 99% accuracy through virtual simulation.
‘This is no joke.’
Looking at the effect, he realized it was more useful than he thought.
‘With this kind of effect, I could use it quite effectively myself.’
He could gauge victory or defeat by exchanging opinions with Helper, but it wasn’t as accurate as Battle Eye.
‘If it’s 99%, it’s practically 100%.’
Th i s w as cop i e d f r o m k i n g m t l .o r g
He was going to be facing many enemies in the future, so he felt he could receive a lot of help from Battle Eye.
“This means I’ll never lose DP through betting again!”
Anubis declared she was going to drain the arena of its DP.
“That would increase the utilization of your unique trait, which is good. You should come here often.”
Jung Minwoo actually encouraged her to visit the arena.
‘Analyzing combat levels and running numerous simulations would be beneficial for Anubis.’
As she did that, her combat abilities would naturally improve as well.
“Hmm, really?”
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i n gm t l . o r g
Anubis looked slightly flustered, as if she hadn’t expected that reaction.
“Just kidding. I’m not coming to the arena anymore.”
Then she said she wasn’t planning to visit the arena anymore.
“Why?”
“Because I know the outcome now, it’s no fun. I’d rather use my newly acquired unique trait to train my subordinates.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Jung Minwoo looked at Anubis with surprise, impressed by her thoughtfulness towards her subordinates.
“Anyway, let’s go back.”
“Alright.”
So, Jung Minwoo returned to the Demon Lord’s Castle with Anubis and Rok.
Apart from Anubis winning a huge amount of DP in the finals, the first day’s revenue from the arena had reached an all-time high among all the businesses.
And as Jung Minwoo had predicted, the arena continued to break revenue records day after day, becoming a massive hit.
In this way, Jung Minwoo successfully launched all his businesses, generating huge profits.
3 years later.
‘Shall I start preparing for the academy now?’
Jung Minwoo decided to implement his plan to train instructors.
‘It would be best to choose demons with abundant theoretical knowledge and practical experience, right?’
It was an academy in name, so he wanted to impart accurate information and practical skills to the cadets.
‘First, I need to put up a notice in the Demon Lord’s Castle.’
T h is wa s c o pi ed f r om k i n gm tl. o r g
He contemplated what benefits to offer if they became instructors.
‘As expected, there’s nothing like DP.’
He decided to offer a large sum of DP that they couldn’t refuse.
‘I want to compose the instructors of 1st Rank demons, but since the number is small, I’ll have to consider 2nd Rank as well.’
It was still premature to form it with only 1st Rank demons, unless maybe 1,000 years had passed.
‘Once I select the applicants, I need to start the training right away.’
Thi s wa s c op i ed f r o m ki n g m tl. o rg
He had already prepared all the teaching materials.
He would teach them to the instructors over the next two years, so they would be able to perfectly master them.
‘Then, I need to have the Head Butler put up the notice.’
He immediately summoned the Head Butler.
“Did you call for me, Great Master-nim?”
“Please put up a notice.”
“Understood.”
He gave the order to the Head Butler.
Not long after the notice was posted.
“They’re recruiting academy instructors?”
“Crazy, they’re offering this much DP?”
“It’s a rotation system, so it won’t take up too much time.”
“That’s right, with rotation, there won’t be a stagnation in growth.”
The demons belonging to the Demon Lord’s Castle showed interest in the newly posted notice.
“Ah, but there’s a restriction.”
“Only up to 2nd Rank is possible?”
“Sigh, I’m currently 3rd Rank, so I’m not eligible.”
The demons who didn’t meet the criteria due to the high requirements soon expressed their disappointment and left.
And the demons who met the requirements.
“Should we apply?”
“Anyway, being an academy instructor means training juniors, so it doesn’t seem bad.”
“Isn’t this a chance to bring any outstanding demon to our team after their instructor duty ends?”
“That’s right, if we bring in a demon with exceptional talent, we can benefit from it later.”
They were attracted to the position of instructor and decided to apply.
They were thoroughly calculating, considering not only the DP but also the future benefits.
“There will be plenty of demons coming in as cadets, so we don’t have to worry about a lack of talent.”
As the demon said, the number of demons had greatly increased with the recent addition of several Demon Lords as ‘Proxies’.
There was an abundance of demons without ranks.
“Let’s go apply right away.”
T h i s w a s c o p i ed fr o m ki ngm tl. or g
“It would be a loss not to apply for this.”
“Let’s go together.”
Just like that, after the demons left to fill out the application forms.
“Instructor……”
A demon appeared and slowly began to read the notice.
“This looks interesting.”
And like the other demons, he showed the same reaction.
“I haven’t seen any demons that catch my eye lately, so it wouldn’t be bad to raise them myself.”
The identity of this demon was.
The demon who was placed in a suitable department thanks to Jung Minwoo’s foresight and became known as the living legend of the Planetary Department.
It was ‘Evolo’.
“If I delay applying and the positions are filled, it would be troublesome, so I should go apply quickly too.”
Evolo, expressing his confidence that he would definitely be accepted, moved to fill out an application form.
And as he expected, he received a notification of acceptance less than 5 minutes after submitting his application.
