Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game

308 – 308. Demon Hunt (3)

Min Taehoon, who had been struggling, soon regained his composure and shut his mouth.

‘Damn, where did I get caught······?’

How much effort had he put into avoiding Jin Yuha’s gaze.

‘Ha, right. Even a rotten fish is still a fish······.’

He realized the abnormal phenomenon of the academy late and discovered himself.

And he must have knocked himself out and restrained himself without even knowing it.

One step.

Just one step was left.

In that time, he knocked himself out and restrained him.

He really couldn’t be anything but a monster.

He didn’t know where he got caught.

He was sure he had carried out the plan perfectly.

If he had known from the beginning, he would have stopped him before distributing the seeds of demonic energy to other freshmen.

‘First, I need to make an excuse.’

He was tied to a chair and surrounded by the Utopia party.

And the demonic energy had already been exposed outside.

Just looking at Jin Yuha, who had cold eyes in front of me, made my whole body shiver, and fear tightened around me.

Min Taehoon barely managed to open his lips with superhuman survival instincts.

“Ins, Instructor Jin Yuha! I, I was too ex, excited just now!”

“……Hoo?”

Jin Yuha’s eyebrows twitched.

“I, I don’t know why, why I look like this demon!”

“……”

Seeing Jin Yuha’s indifferent expression, Min Taehoon used his power to speak more earnestly.

“Th, that’s… Ah! I think it’s because I took a pitch-black pill given by one of the male quota students who entered with me!”

“Hmm? Really?”

“Y, yes! If that’s the case, it’s a big problem! Yes, the name of that male quota student is Choi Jungsoo! Ah, we don’t have time for this! The new cadets! Many of the new cadets took the pill he gave out! This is not the time to just hold me here!!!”

Even though he unknowingly harbored demonic energy, he showed concern for the other cadets.

To anyone, he looked like a noble and self-sacrificing hero in the making.

However.

“Bullshit.”

Jin Yuha laughed as if it was absurd and said.

“I am convinced that you are the one who spread the seeds of that demonic energy.”

Ha.

Chew…

It was like hitting a wall.

Min Taehoon closed his eyes tightly.

As expected, it seemed impossible to deceive this monster’s eyes.

It seemed that he had already confirmed that he was the ringleader, though he didn’t know how.

‘…Dragging this out is not good. I don’t know when that guy’s sword will swing.’

Having made up his mind, Min Taehoon quickly changed his stance.

Min Taehoon opened his eyes wide and this time spoke in a threatening voice.

“Yeah, damn it. I did it. So, are you thinking of killing me now?”

“That’s the plan.”

The second method he thought of.

“If you kill me, you’ll regret it. The cadets who received the seeds of demonic energy from me. They are already addicted.”

It was to take the freshmen who had been fed the seeds of magic as hostages.

“If you release me now, I’ll return them to normal. So, you’d better release me quickly.”

In fact, that was impossible.

After Min Tae-hoon fed the seeds of magic to the cadets,

he continuously poured magic into them and incited malice and desire so that the seeds could properly take root and grow in their bodies.

Once the seeds of magic had taken root, removal was impossible.

However, Jin Yu-ha didn’t know this, so it could be used as a weapon.

No matter what anyone said, this guy was a fool who called himself a hero.

He might be suspicious of his words, but he had no choice but to believe them.

However.

Contrary to what he thought, Jin Yu-ha let out a hollow laugh and said in a low voice,

“Where do you think you’re selling that crap?”

[ The Utopia broadcast has started. ]

As soon as Shin Se-hee started the broadcast, people flocked in droves.

– Yu-ha Yu-ha Yu-ha!

– What, I was watching the freshmen duel and it suddenly turned off!

– Could it be… something was manipulated in the freshmen duel─

[ ‘UtopiaIsJustALuckyParty’ has been kicked out. ]

Then suddenly, countless hooks appeared, showing the male students bound to chairs.

– ?

– What?

– He’s wearing a cadet uniform? Why is he like that?

– What the hell is going on…?

– The atmosphere is really ominous.

However, Shin Se-hee, as if she had no intention of answering the viewers’ questions,

manipulated the drone camera to capture Jin Yu-ha and Min Tae-hoon.

“This, what on earth… Instructor Jin Yu-ha, isn’t it? What is going on, Instructor…?”

At that moment.

Veins bulged all over Min Tae-hoon’s body, and his pupils began to turn black.

“Does a demon dare to utter my name?”

– Crazy, is this guy a demon…?

– A demon infiltrated among the academy freshmen…?

– But it seems he got caught by Jin Yuha;;

As Shin Se-hee remained silent.

The viewers listened to the situation and conversations, trying to guess what was happening.

Then, when Min Tae-hoon, who was having a seizure, pleaded that he was a victim of another demon, the chat window was also deceived.

– What…? He’s not a demon, but a victim of a demon?

– He says he became like this after eating what the demon gave him?

– What the… Then, aren’t the other kids in danger too!?

– Crazy, what’s going on right now!

However.

When Jin Yuha snorted and ignored him.

In an instant, the appearance of the wronged cadet disappeared, and the face of the demon with a sly smile emerged.

Then, the chat window scrolled up so fast that it was impossible to follow with the eyes.

It was a stark scene revealing the true nature of a demon who abandoned humanity.

– Look at his expression changing in an instant… Crazy. Gives me chills.

– He was really a demon…?

– I was totally fooled until just now… I really thought he was a victim of a demon…

– So this is what a real demon is.

– Wow, this is freaking creepy…

– But seriously, what do we do…? They say all the freshmen are addicted to the demon’s magic…?

– This happened at Velvet Hunter Academy…?

Remembering the outstanding achievements of the freshmen cadets just a moment ago.

The atmosphere in the chat window was gradually turning to anxiety.

Shin Se-hee thought it was time for her to intervene.

“Hello! Something urgent came up! We had to abruptly stop the freshmen sparring broadcast and move to another location!”

A bright voice suddenly interrupted the serious situation.

“I know what you’re all worried about right now! But there’s nothing to worry about! If it were really a dangerous situation, would I have started the broadcast?”

– It’s Chunhwa!

– ㅘㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏ!

– Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha! Cheonha!

– But you say it’s not a dangerous situation? They say all the freshmen are addicted to magic right now?

Shin Se-hee smiled brightly as if she had been waiting for those words.

“Yes, that’s a delusion.”

– Delusion…?

“Yes, haha! It was all in Director Rina’s hands from the beginning to the end.”

Shin Se-hee used Rina’s name here.

There were three intentions behind this.

The first was to quickly calm the anxious public sentiment in the chat.

The second was to hide Ichika’s dream ability as Director Rina’s power.

And the third was to warn the demons.

‘There’s nothing better than this to hide the fact that Director Rina can’t intervene directly.’

– Ah, indeed… The Demon King wouldn’t have been unaware of this, right?

– Right, hahaha

– Seriously, how did a demon dare to crawl into the Demon King’s chamber?

The world’s greatest hero.

The Demon King.

The name Rina was that powerful.

“Now, look! It’s going to get interesting from now on!”

Shin Se-hee shouted in a bright voice, and with a snap, she activated the hologram projector.

And that hologram video also caught Min Tae-hoon’s eyes.

At first, Min Tae-hoon, who was watching this absurd act, slowly opened his mouth, and his eyes widened as if they were about to tear apart.

“What is this…?”

In the video, on the first night of training, Jin Yoo-ha was shown kidnapping Min Tae-hoon and tying him to a chair.

– Hahahahahaha

– Crazy, he got caught on the first day and was immediately kidnapped?

– So funny, hahaha

– Look at his face, lol.

And then, it got even more ridiculous.

The meeting room of Utopia.

There, the Utopia party was munching on snacks while watching the dream video of Min Tae-hoon, who was tied to a chair.

Although it was somewhat edited due to time constraints.

It was enough to grasp the situation.

– That demon b*stard was running like crazy in his dream to destroy the academy.

– Is he insane, trying to seduce by showing off his strength…?

– Wow, if we didn’t know he was a demon, wouldn’t it have been really dangerous if things went on like that?

At that, Shin Se-hee chuckled and added.

“No way. This dream is a thoroughly convenience-oriented world, right? It was a world too kind to that demon. How could it make sense that hundreds of people suddenly got several levels stronger, and none of the instructors noticed?”

– For real, lol.

– Wow, it really feels like watching an overpowered anime, lol.

– It’s hilarious that all the instructors are just clapping with their intelligence shattered, lol.

– But Rina’s ability is amazing, making him have such a dream on purpose.

While everyone was laughing at Min Tae-hoon’s ridiculous delusions.

There was one person.

Who couldn’t laugh.

The very person who had the dream.

The demon, Min Tae-hoon.

He was trembling as he watched the video.

“That, that was all a dream…? It was a dream? The training, the seed of magic, Alice…?”

At that, Jin Yoo-ha raised one corner of his mouth and said.

“How was it, was the brief dream sweet?”
