Chapter 308
Min Tae-hoon, who had been struggling, soon regained his composure and closed his mouth.
‘Damn, when did I get caught…?’
He had put so much effort into avoiding Jin Yuha’s gaze.
‘Hmm, even a rotten fish has some value…’
He had realized the abnormality at the academy too late and discovered himself.
Then, without his knowledge, he was knocked out and restrained.
Just one step.
He was just one step away from his goal, but in that moment, he was knocked out and restrained.
He was indeed a monstrous child.
He wasn’t sure where he got caught.
After all, he had executed his plan perfectly.
If he had known from the beginning, he would have stopped the distribution of the seeds of mana to the other new students.
‘I need to make an excuse.’
He was tied to a chair, surrounded by the Utopia party, and his mana was already exposed.
Just looking at Jin Yuha’s cold gaze made his body shiver with fear, but Min Tae-hoon managed to speak with his superhuman survival instinct.
“J, Instructor Jin Yuha! I, I was too excited just now!”
“Hmm?”
Jin Yuha raised her eyebrows.
“I, I don’t know why I’m in this demon form!”
“…”
Min Tae-hoon spoke with more appeal, using his power.
“Th, that… Ah! It seems I became like this after eating a black pill given by one of the male quota students!”
“Hmm?”
“Yes! It’s a big problem! The male quota student’s name is Choi Jung-soo! We can’t waste time like this! New students! Many of the new students ate the pills he gave them! We can’t just leave them like this!!!”
He was worried about the new students, even though he was unaware of the mana he possessed.
He looked like a noble and self-sacrificing hero-to-be.
However.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Jin Yuha laughed dismissively and spoke.
“I’m sure you’re the one who spread the seeds of mana.”
Hah.
It was as if he had set up a wall.
Min Tae-hoon closed his eyes, realizing that it was impossible to deceive this monster.
He had somehow confirmed that he was the instigator.
‘… Drawing this out is not a good idea. I don’t know when he’ll strike.’
Min Tae-hoon quickly changed his strategy.
He opened his eyes, which he had closed, and spoke in a threatening voice.
“Yes, I did it. So, are you going to kill me now?”
“That’s the plan.”
The second method he thought of.
“If you kill me, you’ll regret it. The new students who received the seeds of mana from me are already addicted.”
It was to take the new students, who had consumed the seeds of mana, as hostages.
“If you release me now, I’ll return them to normal. So, it’s best to release me quickly.”
In reality, that was impossible.
After giving the seeds of mana to the new students, Min Tae-hoon had continuously infused them with mana, encouraging their evil and desires, ensuring that the seeds took root and grew.
Once the seeds of mana took root, it was impossible to remove them.
However, Jin Yuha wouldn’t know this, so he could use it as a weapon.
No matter what, this guy was a hero, a foolish breed.
He might doubt his words, but he had no choice but to believe him.
However, contrary to his expectation that he would listen to his words, Jin Yuha let out a dry laugh and spoke in a low voice.
“What are you talking about?”
.
.
.
The Utopia broadcast has begun.
As soon as Shin Se-hee started the broadcast, people flocked to it.
-Yuha, Yuha, Yuha!
-What’s going on? We were watching the freshmen sparring and it suddenly cut off!
-Could it be… Was there some kind of manipulation in the freshmen sparring?
[You have been kicked out of the party ‘Utopia is just a lucky party’.]
Then, as they saw the restrained male students in the chairs, countless hooks appeared in the chat.
-?
-What’s going on?
-Isn’t he wearing a cadet uniform? Why is he like this?
-What’s happening here…?
-The atmosphere is really strange…
However, Shin Se-hee seemed to have no intention of answering the viewers’ questions, as she operated the drone camera without saying a word, capturing Jin Yuha and Min Tae-hoon.
“This… What’s going on? Isn’t that Instructor Jin Yuha? What’s wrong with him…?”
At that moment, bulging veins appeared all over Min Tae-hoon’s body, and his pupils began to turn black.
“How dare a mere Demon mention my name?”
-What the hell, is this guy a Demon…?
-A Demon infiltrated the Academy freshmen…?
-But it seems like Jin Yuha caught him.
Since Shin Se-hee didn’t say anything, the viewers guessed what was going on by listening to the conversation and watching the situation unfold.
Then, when Min Tae-hoon, who had been convulsing, pleaded that he was a victim of another Demon, the chat was also deceived.
-What…? He’s not a Demon, he’s a victim of a Demon?
-He says he ate something given by a Demon and became like this…?
-What do we do…? Are the other students in danger too!?
-What’s going on here…?
However.
When Jin Yuha ignored him, the pitiful image of the cadet disappeared, and the Demon’s face turned into a sardonic smile.
At that moment, the chat went wild, too fast to follow with the eyes.
It was a clear display of the true nature of the Demons, beings who had abandoned their humanity.
-Look how quickly his expression changes… Crazy. Gives me goosebumps.
-Was he really a Demon…?
-I was really fooled… I thought he was a victim of a Demon, but…
-This is what a real Demon is like.
-Holy shit, that’s creepy…
-But what do we do…? The freshmen cadets are all addicted to Demonic Magic…?
-This happened at the Velvet Hunter Academy…?
The chat’s atmosphere slowly turned anxious as they recalled the impressive sparring of the freshmen cadets just a moment ago.
Shin Se-hee thought it was time for her to intervene.
“Hello! Something came up suddenly! I had to stop the freshmen sparring broadcast and come here!”
A bright voice suddenly intruded into the serious situation.
“I know what you’re worried about, but there’s nothing to worry about! If it was really dangerous, would I have started broadcasting?”
-Cheonhwa!
Waaaah!
-Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa! Cheonhwa!
-But you say it’s not dangerous? The freshmen cadets are all addicted to Demonic Magic…?
Shin Se-hee laughed brightly, as if she had been waiting for that question.
“Yes, it’s all an illusion.”
-An illusion…?
“Yes, haha! From the beginning, everything was under the control of Director Lina.”
Shin Se-hee used Lina’s name here.
There were three intentions behind this.
The first was to quickly calm the anxious chat.
The second was to hide Ichika’s dream ability as Director Lina’s power.
And the third was to warn the Demons.
‘There’s no better way to hide the fact that Director Lina can’t directly intervene.’
-Ah, that’s true… The Mage Emperor wouldn’t have been unaware, right?
-Yeah, haha!
-This guy… What nerve to infiltrate the Mage’s lair as a Demon?
The world’s greatest hero.
The Mage Emperor.
The name Lina was that powerful.
“Now, watch! It’s about to get interesting!”
Shin Se-hee shouted in a bright voice and projected a hologram.
The hologram also caught Min Tae-hoon’s eye.
At first, Min Tae-hoon watched with his mouth slowly opening and his eyes widening.
“What… What’s this…?”
The hologram showed Jin Yuha kidnapping Min Tae-hoon on the first night of training and tying him to a chair.
-Haha!
-Crazy, he got caught on the first day and was taken away?
-Hilarious!
-Look at his expression, haha!
And what came next was even more unbelievable.
In Utopia’s conference room, the Utopia party was watching the dream video of Min Tae-hoon, who was tied to a chair, while eating snacks.
Due to time constraints, the video had been edited, but it was enough to understand the situation.
-This Demon bastard was working hard in his dream to destroy the Academy.
-He was trying so hard to seduce her… Crazy.
-Wow, if he wasn’t a Demon, this could have been really dangerous.
Shin Se-hee chuckled and added,
“No way. This dream is a thoroughly convenient world. It was too kind to this Demon. It’s not possible that a few hundred people suddenly became several levels stronger, and none of the instructors noticed.”
-Haha!
-It’s like watching an anime with overpowered characters!
-The instructors are all beaten to a pulp, just clapping, haha!
-But Lina’s ability is insane, she made him have that dream on purpose…
As everyone laughed at Min Tae-hoon’s absurd illusion,
There was one person who couldn’t laugh.
The person who had that dream.
The Demon, Min Tae-hoon.
He was watching the video with trembling hands and feet.
“That… All of it was a dream…? The training, the Demon’s seeds, Alice…?”
Jin Yuha raised one corner of his mouth and said,
“How was it? Was the brief dream sweet?”
