The public, who had already been excited since the unprecedented public freshman group sparring at Velvet Hunter Academy, was in a frenzy.
But then, starting with the shocking revelation that a demon was hiding there, the existence of demons was revealed for the first time.
Moreover, since Utopia’s skills, which had been quiet since the monster extermination request in the US, were also revealed, it was bound to get even noisier.
However, despite the appearance of such a terrible enemy, the atmosphere was not that serious.
Well, because even though it appeared so forcefully, it was really unable to do anything and was easily defeated!
The live broadcast of Utopia, which was aired this time, was endlessly reproduced,
It occupied the top of the search platforms in each country with YouTube videos, various shorts, and articles, and did not come down.
[ Demon Hunting Jin Yuha Edited Version, 10 Hours Loop. ]
– Jin Yuha! Jin Yuha! Jin Yuha!
– Seriously crazy. He uses the sword so easily, how does he do that;;;
– Oppa… I was thrilled…
└ Dirty girl. Then clean it up;;
– Mom, I want to be Jin Yuha when I grow up! Mom, I want to be Jin Yuha when I grow up! Mom, I want to be Jin Yuha when I grow up! Mom, I want to be Jin Yuha when I grow up! Mom, I want to be Jin Yuha when I grow up!

[ Demon. You have talent. Just keep it up. ]
– Actually, maybe the demon was a pacifist.
– For real, demon (0 kills 1 death 0 damage)
– Seriously lol, the appearance was almost final boss level
– Ah, I miss it… Trash.
└ They say it’s the greatest threat to humanity, but lol trash.
[ Picture of Jin Yuha sitting on a chair looking down. ]
So, should I suck it?
Because it was humanity’s hero who stepped up and overwhelmingly defeated it.
Even in a live broadcast watched by everyone!
The sense of relief and reassurance people felt at that moment was enough to pierce through the ceiling.
No matter what threat came their way, they were convinced that the heroes of Velvet Hunter Academy would save them.
Thus, the size of the cheers and enthusiasm was growing to a global scale.
Amidst such a bustling situation inside and outside the academy.
Shin Se-hee arranged a separate press conference.
Chwajajak─!
Chwajajak─!
The camera flashes burst out so much that it was hard to even open her eyes properly,
But Shin Se-hee sat down with a small smile as if she was used to it.
Then, as if they had been waiting, reporters from around the world opened their mouths and shouted.
“We want to know exactly how skilled Jin Yu-ha’s party leader is! Could you please say a word about him!”
“Cheonhwa! Why did a demon infiltrate the academy this time? Is the security of Velvet Hunter Academy okay as it is? Is there any possibility that other demons have mixed in among the freshmen!!”
“Please explain the suspicion that the existence of the demon revealed this time is an illusion. In other words, the video taken this time was manipulated to raise Utopia’s status!”
The appearance and defeat of the demon.
It was refreshing only from the perspective of the general public.
Other groups had no choice but to see it a little differently.
First of all, starting with other countries that did not want Korea to have power anymore.
Various guilds and parties that believed Utopia’s status was only due to having Velvet Hunter Academy as its backing.
And the demons who had been living in the shadows, hiding from the activities of the Demon Slayers.
With the sudden appearance of the demon, they were suddenly under more persistent surveillance than before.
Those with such complex interests had to put even a small scratch on the existence of the demon revealed this time and Utopia’s skills.
‘Huhu, all those whose feet are on fire have gathered.’
Shin Se-hee sneered inwardly and raised one hand to calm the crowd that had gathered.
“First of all, I will take questions collectively after my story is over. So please calm down for now.”
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
Then, the press conference room fell silent in an instant.
Shin Se-hee judged that it was now the right time to speak and opened her mouth.
She had no intention of resolving their doubts or questions here and now.
She just wanted to briefly address the preparations for the upcoming Demon Realm Gate.
“First, let me talk about the demons and the black gates, collectively known as the Demon Realm Gates. We have already provided the information we have investigated to the Hunter Management Bureau. We promise to share any new information we discover promptly. And this will be delivered to Hunter Management Bureaus worldwide without any special requests.”
The most important thing was the sharing of information.
According to Jin Yoo-ha, the ecosystem inside the Demon Realm Gate was completely different from the gates they had experienced before.
By spreading information in advance, the initial sacrifices could be reduced.
“The second thing I want to talk about is the demon subjugation by our Utopia. As before, if you submit a request to our academy, Utopia will accept it and dispatch a team. For specific request forms, please contact the academy. However, I can tell you that the request and completion fees will not be too burdensome.”
Shin Se-hee thought this was essential.
Just because the Demon Realm Gates were a threat to humanity, it shouldn’t mean that they would be dispatched for free.
Otherwise, there would be those who would try to wield Utopia as a weapon.
‘From a national perspective, our academy’s request fees are not that expensive.’
Of course, even within the academy, the completion fees varied greatly depending on the difficulty.
But it was much cheaper than personally requesting a Hunter guild or party.
And at the same time, having the academy as a backer allowed them to detect any clumsy tricks in advance.
“And the third and final point is the protection of civilians and the precautions at the guild level. If a Demon Realm Gate is created, it must be reported ‘without fail.’ And our Utopia party will not allow guilds or parties to subjugate it ‘arbitrarily.'”
“…What? Allow?”
Those who had been listening patiently until the second point could not do so for the third.
The gathered people began to whisper to each other.
The explanation of the existence of demons.
The doubts about Utopia’s capabilities.
Without saying anything about the imaginary concept of the Demon Realm Gate.
Saying such things, it was impossible to look at them kindly.
“…Are they trying to make us look out for the Velvet Hunter Academy?”
“This seems too arrogant…”
“Huh, they’re talking nonsense.”
“In the first place, they haven’t even said whether the black gates or the existence of demons are real, so what are they talking about?”
The reason Shin Se-hee said this now was to avoid being caught later.
‘Of course, even if I say this, everyone will try to attack the gate.’
At that time, when other guilds or parties stepped forward and suffered damage, they couldn’t blame Utopia for no reason.
It was a firm line drawn in advance.
And then.
The eyes of a reporter who was looking at his phone widened, and his mouth opened.
“…Oh! Africa! A black gate has just been created in Africa!!!”
