The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Graduation Ceremony (2)

‘Who should I choose?’

Jung Minwoo pondered as he looked at the Demon Communion members.

‘They all have different strengths, making it difficult to decide.’

If there had been an exceptionally outstanding demon among them, the choice would have been much easier. Unfortunately, they all had their own unique strengths, making it impossible to easily choose one.

‘As expected, it’s best to keep things simple in situations like this, right?’

Finishing his contemplation, Jung Minwoo looked at the Demon Communion members and spoke.

“I would like to make all of you assistants, but there’s only one position available.”

The Demon Communion members nodded their heads in agreement, listening attentively to Jung Minwoo’s words.

“You all possess distinct strengths, making it difficult to determine who has the upper hand.”

“Then, shouldn’t we decide based on strength?”

Jung Minwoo shook his head at Anubis’s suggestion.

“That would give you an unfair advantage.”

“Hmm… Is that so?”

“Therefore, I’ve decided to assign the assistant position based on ranking.”

“By ranking?”

“Yes, I’m giving the assistant position to Venus, who is ranked second.”

At Jung Minwoo’s words, the corners of Venus’s lips twitched subtly.

T his w a s c o p ie d f r o m k ing m t l . o r g
“If such an opportunity arises again in the future, I’m considering assigning positions based on ranking. What do you think?”

As he finished his explanation.

“That’s a reasonable suggestion.”

“…That would be fair.”

“It’s a bit disappointing that I’m last, but it would be fair.”

“That sounds good. Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Demon Communion members also expressed their opinions and agreed with Jung Minwoo’s words.

“Alright, then I’ll choose Venus as the assistant.”

Jung Minwoo turned his gaze back to Deetan and spoke.

“I choose 999.”

“Good. Cadet 999, do you agree to be appointed as an assistant?”

At Deetan’s question, Venus smiled brightly and replied.

“I agree.”

“Then, I shall appoint 999 as Number 1’s assistant.”

With the selection of the assistant complete.

“The rest of you, go down below the platform.”

He issued an order to dismiss the demons who were standing behind them.
Th i s w a s c o pie d f ro m k i n g mt l . o r g

“Ah…”

“This can’t be…”

“I thought we were going to become 8th Rank…”

The demons standing behind them slumped their shoulders and descended below the platform.

“Now, it’s time to bestow the ranks. Everyone, return to your seats.”

At Deetan’s command, the cadets sat down on the chairs with their assigned numbers.

‘Finally, I’m receiving my rank?’

Jung Minwoo was excited to see how much stronger he would become after receiving his rank.

‘And I’m also curious about what kind of name I’ll be given…’

He was also curious about the new name that would be bestowed upon him.

‘I want to keep using the name Jung Minwoo, but I should humbly accept the new name.’

It was the name his parents gave him, so he decided to cherish it in his heart even after receiving a new name.

As he was lost in thought,

“Let’s begin.”

Deetan announced the start of the ceremony.

Rumble!

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

The giant eye he had seen during the entrance ceremony.

‘It looks different from before?’

Unlike before, there were horns protruding from the eye.

‘Does the shape determine what is bestowed?’

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Then, the giant eye slowly began to open.

Throb!

“Ugh?!”

A pain that felt like his brain was about to explode swept over him.

‘Why does the pain keep getting worse!’

Jung Minwoo clutched his head and complained inwardly, but

“Ugh!”

Unfortunately, as if his complaints were not heard, the pain intensified.

‘When will the message window appear?’

As he waited for the message window to appear.

【4th Rank is bestowed upon you】

A message indicating that he had received his rank appeared.

‘Power is surging through my body…’

For a moment, an immense power surged through him, making him forget the pain.

【A name is bestowed upon you for possessing a rank of 6th or higher】

“Ugh!”
T h i s w a s c op i e d f ro m k in g m tl .o r g

However, unfortunately, another message window appeared, and the pain returned.

‘A name?’

Despite the pain, Jung Minwoo kept his eyes fixed on the message window.

【Searching for a name…】

【A title used for 30 years has been found. A faint power resides within the title. Do you wish to use the title as your name?】

‘Hmm?’

An unexpected situation unfolded before his eyes.

‘A faint power resides within the title?’

Before his reincarnation, he had heard that a name continuously called upon would accumulate power. At the time, he had dismissed it as a joke, but now that he was told that power truly resided within it, he felt a pang of guilt for treating it as superstition.

‘There’s no reason to refuse.’

Without hesitation, Jung Minwoo responded to the message window’s question.

‘Of course. I’ll use the title as my name.’

As if responding to Jung Minwoo’s answer, the message window displayed a new message.

【Bestowing the name ‘Jung Minwoo’】

‘I’m getting even stronger?’

He could feel a slight increase in power within his body, though not as significant as before.

‘By the way, if a title is bestowed as a name, what happens to Venus?’
T hi s wa s c o p i e d fr o m ki ngm tl. org

For a moment, he wondered what name Venus had received, but

【A new effect of your unique trait is unlocked for possessing 4th Rank】

As if not allowing him to dwell on his thoughts, a new message window appeared.

【A new effect of your demon unique trait…】

【A new effect of your human unique trait…】

He was filled with anticipation for the new effects that would be unlocked, but

【You possess a human soul within a demon body. Error detected.】

‘Damn it, not again.’

The same situation as during the entrance ceremony unfolded.

【Error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error, error】

As the word ‘Error’ filled his vision,

“Aaargh!”

Jung Minwoo collapsed to the ground, letting out a painful scream.

【The error has been successfully corrected. Instead of unlocking a new effect, a new unique trait will be awakened】

‘…A new unique trait?’

He already possessed two unique traits, and now he was getting a new one?

‘What kind of unique trait is it?’

Forgetting his pain, Jung Minwoo clicked on the message window to check his new unique trait.

【Demon, Human ― Heaven’s Eye (天眼)】

― By using ‘Demon Eye’ and ‘Mind’s Eye’ simultaneously, you can view the target’s information.

‘…Information? Is it referring to something like a status window in a game?’

Knowing that it was faster to understand by trying it out rather than pondering, Jung Minwoo decided to use his newly acquired unique trait.

He looked at Deetan and used Demon Eye and Mind’s Eye simultaneously.

【Retrieving information on ‘Deetan’】

Heaven’s Eye activated, and a new information window appeared.

『Information Window』

T h i s w a s cop i e d f r o m ki n g mtl . o r g
〈Basic Information〉
T hi s w a s co pie d f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g

Name: Deetan

Gender: Male

Age: 10,400 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 1st Rank (一品)

Alignment: Evil (惡)

Unique Trait: Martial Arts Mania (武鬪狂)

Current Emotion: Proud

‘Oh, this is good.’ Jung Minwoo had a hunch that his newly acquired ‘Heaven’s Eye’ would be quite useful in the future.

‘It’ll be helpful in gauging the enemy’s strength.’

He could judge a demon’s strength by their demonic energy level, but that wasn’t the case for the pigeons.

‘Knowing their unique traits in advance will also be beneficial in battles.’

Jung Minwoo clicked on the unique trait labeled ‘Martial Arts Mania’.

【Martial Arts Mania (武鬪狂)】
T h i s w a s c op i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . or g

As combat with the enemy continues, health regeneration speed increases, and combat power rises.

‘He possesses quite a good unique trait.’

Jung Minwoo closed the information window with a satisfied smile.

“You seem quite pleased with your rank.”

Venus approached him and spoke.

“Becoming a 4th Rank in one go, I feel a significant increase in power.”

“Congratulations. Minwoo-nim, or should I call you something else now?”

At her question, Jung Minwoo shrugged and replied.

“Just call me Minwoo as before. I received ‘Jung Minwoo’ as my new name.”

Venus spoke with a slightly excited voice.

“I also received ‘Venus’ as my name!”

“Really? That’s good.”

He had thought it wouldn’t work because the duration was short, but he realized that even a short period of being called a certain name had an influence on the name bestowal.

‘Should I check Venus’s information while I’m at it?’

Jung Minwoo used Heaven’s Eye on Venus.

『Information Window』

〈Basic Information〉

Name: Venus

Gender: Female

Age: 0.6 years old

〈Detailed Information〉

Rank: 6th Rank (六品)

Alignment: Evil (惡)

Unique Trait: Charm (魅惑)

Current Emotion: Fluttering

‘It’s exactly as I know it.’ As he closed the information window and was about to check the other Demon Communion members,

“Congratulations.”

Deetan approached them.

“You have now shed your cadet status and become true demons. I wish you all the best in pursuing your ambitions in the world.”

Deetan then patted his chest and spoke.

“Now that you are true demons, I shall reveal my name. My name is ‘Deetan’. Remember it well.”

Jung Minwoo, who already knew his name through the information window, pretended to hear it for the first time and replied.

“I will engrave it in my memory.”

“Good. Now that the graduation ceremony is over, it’s time to part ways.”

Deetan gestured to an instructor.

“I will escort you.”

An instructor approached Jung Minwoo with a respectful bow.

‘Is the treatment different because my rank is higher?’

It felt strange to have an instructor who usually spoke casually to him now using formal language.

‘It feels good.’

He once again realized that rank was indeed power.

“The instructor will guide you to the Demon Lord’s chariot.”

At Deetan’s words, a demon raised their hand and asked.

“What about those of us without affiliations?”

Deetan frowned and replied to the demon’s question.

“You will fill out a separate application form.”

T his w as c o p ied f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“What happens if we don’t get into an affiliation?”

“Then you will operate without an affiliation.”

At Deetan’s words, the demons’ faces turned pale.

One might wonder what the problem was with operating without an affiliation, but
T hi s w as c o p i e d f r o m ki n g m t l.o rg

‘Operating alone without support is like suicide.’

It was like trying to survive as an individual peddling their wares among giant corporations, making it incredibly difficult to succeed.

‘They’re going to have a tough time.’

Afterward, Jung Minwoo followed the instructor along with the Demon Communion members.

As they exited the training center building and headed towards the main gate,

‘It’s magnificent.’

A giant chariot adorned with numerous jewels caught their eyes.

As they slowly examined the chariot,

‘There’s a flag too.’

Perhaps it was used to indicate affiliation, the flag had a red eye symbol embroidered on it.

“Oh my, it’s incredibly grand.”

“Wow, the Demon Lord’s affiliation is truly different.”

“…I like it.”

“Ribbit, ribbit. As expected, I made the right choice following Minwoo.”

The Demon Communion members also expressed their admiration for the chariot, each with their own exclamations.

As they were admiring the chariot,

“Welcome.”

An old man descended from the driver’s seat, bowing deeply and greeting them.

‘…Hmm? Something feels off.’

Jung Minwoo looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, sensing an unusual aura from him.

‘…I don’t think a demon like that would be under us.’

To confirm the old man’s identity, Jung Minwoo used Heaven’s Eye.

Zap!

‘Ugh!’

A sharp pain shot through his eyes.

【Unable to confirm due to rank difference】

Seeing the message window that appeared, Jung Minwoo could easily deduce who the person in front of him was.

‘…There’s only one demon who is a rank above 1st Rank.’

Jung Minwoo hardened his expression and knelt on one knee.

“Greetings to the noble and almighty Demon Lord.”

“D-Demon Lord? You flatter me!”

The old man waved his hands in a flustered manner, but

“Demon Lord, this isn’t funny.”

Jung Minwoo pressed on with a confident voice.

The old man suddenly burst into laughter.

“Haha, I was going to tease you a bit longer, but this is why quick-witted guys are no fun.”

Snap!

He snapped his fingers.

The old man’s appearance vanished, and he transformed into Satan.

“””Gasp!”””

The instructor and the Demon Communion members, who had finally realized his identity, hurriedly tried to kneel on one knee to greet him, but

“No need for greetings. Just get in the chariot.”

Satan waved his hand dismissively and climbed onto the driver’s seat, giving them an order.

“””Y-Yes, sir!”””

The Demon Communion members scrambled to get into the chariot.

Before boarding, Jung Minwoo asked Satan a question.

“…Are you driving the monster yourself, Demon Lord?”

“Yes.”

Satan’s nonchalant attitude made Jung Minwoo’s desire to question him disappear.

“Number 1, no, it’s Jung Minwoo now, right? Sit next to me. I have something to discuss with you.”

“…Understood.”

Jung Minwoo nodded with a hesitant expression and took a seat next to Satan.

“Shall we go then? Giddy up!!”

Satan cracked the whip at the monster.

Neigh!

The monsters began to gallop forward.
