The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: The Demon Who Manages the Lowly (3)

“Hmm… So easily?”

Jung Minwoo was perplexed by the instructor’s words.

‘I thought they would proceed with the inspection process after the introduction… Well, it’s good and convenient for me if they don’t.’

With a satisfied smile, he was about to tap the bracelet when…

“Wait! There are many other tests to conduct. Isn’t that a hasty judgment?”

Another instructor raised an objection to the instructor in charge of the ‘Monster Management’ subject.

“No. Even if we do other tests, the perfect score will be the same.”

“…But, shouldn’t we share the scores with each other as fellow instructors?”

“Since the final approval of this test is up to me, doesn’t it matter?”

At the ‘Monster Management’ instructor’s words, the other instructors only frowned and didn’t refute any further.

“Number 1, please go down now. I’ll be looking forward to the other two tests.”

At the instructor’s words, Jung Minwoo replied with a good-natured smile.

“I will do my best to meet your expectations.”

“Hoho, you speak so well.”

Jung Minwoo bowed his head to the instructors and descended from the podium with the goblins.

“Good work.”

“””Kiek!”””

At the words ‘good work’, the goblins’ expressions were filled with pride.

“If you do well in the next two tests, I’ll give you a special meal.”

“””Kiek!!!”””

At the mention of a special meal, the goblins thumped their chests as if to say, ‘Leave it to us.’

‘I said special meal, but I can just take the leftover food from the cafeteria.’

Jung Minwoo pondered how to provide the special meal and put the goblins back into his personal breeding grounds.

As he returned to his seat…

“Minwoo-nim, that was a perfect ‘Physical Examination’.”

“You were quite impressive.”

“…I’m envious.”

“Kkroo, as expected of Minwoo! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members gave him thumbs up and showered him with compliments.

“This much is basic.”

Jung Minwoo sat down, boasting.

‘Then, shall we watch how the other guys take the test?’

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo sat in his seat and observed the other demons’ tests.

A few noticeable goblins came up on the podium, but…

“Pathetic.”

“I can’t stand to watch this filth.”
Thi s w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g m t l . or g

“What have you been doing without managing them?”

The instructors, whose standards had been raised by Jung Minwoo, hurled harsh words at the demons.

Fortunately…

‘Our guys had a pretty good response.’

Perhaps thanks to the month of training the goblins, the Demon Communion members didn’t hear any harsh words from the instructors.

‘At this rate, they should easily be able to rank high.’

And after the first test was over, when he checked the scores, he could see that the Demon Communion members were safely ranked high, as he had expected.

1st – Number 1 (100)

2nd – Number 999 (95)

3rd – Number 2 (94.8)

4th – Number 777 (92.4)

5th – Number 888 (92.3)

‘It’s unexpected that Rok is in 3rd place.’

Contrary to his expectation that Rok would be in 2nd place, he was in 3rd, but this was within the margin of error, so there was no problem.

You might wonder why Rok, who has a Hobgoblin, is in 3rd place, but…

‘Since the physical examination is about checking their health condition, not their evolution, he must have gotten 3rd place.’

Unfortunately, the evolution factor wasn’t reflected in the score.

“We all safely secured our spots within the rankings.”

At Venus’s words, Anubis laughed heartily and said,

“Kkroo, I knew it was a good decision to join under Minwoo.”

Rok and Elin also nodded in agreement.

“Okay, then shall we go prepare for tomorrow’s test?”

After checking the scores, Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members decided to prepare for the next day’s test and left their seats.

That night.

About 50 demons were gathered in the training room.

“Hey, doesn’t Number 1 seem to be acting too cocky these days?”

Among them was Number 716, who had been crushed by Jung Minwoo for acting cocky.

A demon agreed with Number 716’s words.

“That too, but you know we’re really finished if we mess up this test, right?”

At the demon’s words, Number 716 grinned.

“That’s why I thought, how about we join forces to sabotage Number 1 and the other high-ranking guys?”

At the suggestion of sabotage, other demons showed disapproval.

“…Hey, what if we get caught by Number 1? He seems to be quite powerful.”

“Hey, what’s there to worry about? Violence is prohibited except during duels, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Well, are you going to just sit back and get disposed of?”

“That’s not it.”

Number 716 looked at the other demons and said,

“If we just take down Number 1 and the other high-ranking guys, we have a chance. Who else has high scores besides them?”

As his persuasion continued, they started to agree one by one.

“How are you going to sabotage them?”

At the demon’s question, Number 716 answered with a confident smile.

T his wa s c op i e d f r o m k i n gmt l. o rg
“You heard that tomorrow’s ‘Intelligence Test’ is a maze escape, right?”

“We did.”

“We’ll ambush them there.”

“Ambush them?”

“Yes, we’ll attack them all at once and kill all their goblins. And we’ll take over the rankings.”

At Number 716’s radical method, a demon expressed concern.

“Won’t we be punished for breaking the rules?”

“Hey, do I look that careless? I’ve read the rules over 10 times, there’s no problem.”

Now that their concerns were addressed, the demons all smirked.

“Then, there’s no reason to refuse.”

Satisfied with their response, Number 716 turned his gaze to a certain figure and said,

“Number 555, you’ll participate too, right?”

Owl.

The demon, Number 555, who became a slave to Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members.

At Number 716’s words, Owl shrugged.

“Isn’t it obvious? Thank you for giving me this honor.”

“You’re reliable.”

They promised to attack as soon as the test began and left the training room.

“Ambushing them and killing their goblins… It’s not a bad plan.”

Owl, who came out of the training room, muttered to himself as he walked down the hallway.

“If they were unaware of this situation.”

Arriving in front of the meeting room, Owl carefully knocked on the door and said,
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f rom k in g m t l . o rg

Knock, knock―

“It’s me.”

Then, he heard a voice from inside telling him to come in.

“Excuse me.”

As Owl opened the door and entered,

“You’re here?”

The Demon Communion members were seated inside.

“Report what happened.”

“Understood.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Owl bowed his head and explained the situation that had just occurred.

“Oh my, so they’re planning such a cunning scheme?”

Venus said with a sneer.

“Tsk, those who wouldn’t even last a punch are trying to pull strings behind our backs?”

“…We should kill them.”

“If it was a duel, I would crush them! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members each chimed in.

“No need to get upset. We can just use their plan against them since we know about it.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus asked with a curious look,

“Minwoo-nim, is it possible to see the future with ‘Demon Eye’?”

“Why?”

“You knew what the test would be, and now you’ve figured out their sabotage plan.”

A reasonable deduction.

‘In a way, it could look like that.’

However, he knew that if he agreed, he would be bombarded with questions, so he decided to think about the answer and give it later.

“I’ll explain that later.”

“Okay.”

Venus nodded with a smile at Jung Minwoo’s words.

“Now, we need to come up with a plan. Venus, how many puppets do you have right now?”

“Thanks to the increased demonic energy, I have close to 30.”

Jung Minwoo turned his gaze to Owl and said,

“Can you tell me the numbers of the demons who were there?”

“Understood. The numbers are…”

As Owl listed all the demons’ numbers,

“There are about 10 of my puppets among the demons that Number 555 mentioned.”

Venus, understanding Jung Minwoo’s intentions, stated the number of those involved in the sabotage.

“10 will instigate a rebellion from within. The rest can ambush them.”

“That’s a good idea.”

Anubis, who was listening to the plan, raised her hand and said,

“Our goblins won’t fight?”

Jung Minwoo shook his head at Anubis’s question.

“We have to escape the maze. We can’t waste time on that and lose our ranking.”

“Well, it would be troublesome to lose our ranking.”

Elin, who was listening to their conversation, asked in a quiet voice,

“…So, is the meeting over?”

Jung Minwoo answered her question.

“It is, but isn’t it a bit anticlimactic to end it like this?”

“…Anticlimactic?”

“I want to use this as an opportunity to make things bigger.”

“…Bigger?”

“So, I mean, how about doing… …?”

After hearing Jung Minwoo’s new plan, the Demon Communion members’ eyes sparkled and they said,

“Then, we can secure a high ranking without any burden.”

“Ooh! That sounds fun!!”

“…Good.”
T hi s w a s c o pi ed f rom k i n g m tl . o r g

“It’s time for my goblins to shine! Ribbit, ribbit.”

At their reaction, Jung Minwoo grinned and said,

“Tomorrow’s test will be very interesting.”

Afterward, they finished their meeting and returned to their dormitories to rest.

The next day.

As they entered the portal following the instructor,

‘This is no joke.’

They arrived at a place with huge walls erected.

‘This is the maze, right?’

T hi s w a s cop i ed f r o m k i n g mtl. or g
Since it was a test for goblins, he had thought it would be small, but contrary to his expectations, the scale of the maze was quite extensive.

“Everyone summon your goblins and take a seat in the spectator seats at the back.”

When Jung Minwoo shifted his gaze to where the instructor pointed, there were hundreds of spectator seats.

T h i s w a s co p i ed f r om k i n g m t l . o r g
“And the progress of the game will be broadcast on the screen, so you won’t have any trouble watching. Now, summon your goblins.”

The demons followed the instructor’s orders and summoned their goblins from their personal breeding grounds.

‘They’re all armed.’

Having grasped all the rules, even the demons who weren’t involved in the sabotage had armed their goblins.

‘Should I summon mine too?’

Just as Jung Minwoo was about to tap the bracelet to prepare,

“Oh my, if it isn’t Number 1?”

He heard a playful voice from behind.
T h is w a s c o p ie d f ro m k i n gm t l.o rg

Turning his head, he saw Number 716 standing there.

“I wonder if you’ll be able to get 1st place again this time.”

At Number 716’s provocation, Jung Minwoo chuckled and retorted,

“You talk too much for someone who’s about to be disposed of.”

“…What?”

The provocation hit its mark as Number 716’s face turned bright red.
T h i s w as c o p ied fr o m k in gm tl . or g

“…What did you say?”

“I said you talk too much for someone who’s about to be disposed of. Why? Should I say it again?”

“…”

At the continued provocation, Number 716 started to tremble as if in vibrate mode.

T h i s wa s c op i e d f r om k i n gm tl .o r g
“Get lost if you have nothing to say. I don’t want to waste my time.”

“…You’ll regret acting like this.”

“You stink, so get lost.”

In the end, Number 716 only got insulted by Jung Minwoo and retreated.

‘He dared to pick a fight with the demon who won ‘I am a Demon’. This is what happens.’
T his w a s c o p i e d f r om ki n g m t l . o r g

Jung Minwoo clicked his tongue inwardly and summoned his goblins from his personal breeding grounds.

Thud, thud, thud.

A demon who was watching nearby tilted his head at the sight of the goblins’ weapons.

“Spears? Spears won’t be effective because of the walls.”

When he checked the pet monsters of the Demon Communion members who were with Jung Minwoo,

“…They’re holding spears too?”

Their goblins were also holding spears.

“…What’s going on?”

The observing demon felt a sense of unease, but he decided not to think too much about it since it wouldn’t give him any answers.

“If you’re ready, students, move to the spectator seats.”

At the instructor’s command, the demons left their goblins behind and moved to the spectator seats.

“Then, let the test begin.”

Following that, as the instructor announced the start of the test,

Beep―――!

The buzzer sounded.
