The next morning.
"Ugh..."
Min Tae-Hoon groaned as he got up from the dormitory. His entire body felt like it was screaming in protest after the grueling training he had endured the day before.
If he were to be honest, he felt like giving up, just like the other male quota bugs who were now getting up with lifeless eyes.
’I don’t need this kind of training...’
It had been so exhausting that he had even had nightmares during the night. This was sothing that had never happened to him since becoming a demon.
’Huh, a dream where Jin Yuha suddenly cos to kidnap in the middle of the night... What nonsense.’
In the dream, Jin Yuha had tied him up tightly on a chair, leaving no room to move.
It seed that his first impression of Jin Yuha had been quite morable.
On the other hand, he could understand why. The day before, when Jin Yuha had stared at him, he had felt an instinctive fear, like a frog in front of a snake.
Even though he had hidden his demonic energy with his ability, Jin Yuha had still noticed it. It was no wonder that he was known among demons as the Sword Ghost, following in the footsteps of the Slaughtering Maniac.
’Even the other instructors at the Academy didn’t notice anything, but he seed to sense sothing was off.’
Just thinking about his handso face made his back sweat.
Min Tae-Hoon shook his head.
’But even Jin Yuha couldn’t resist the power of my lie.’
Yes, the power he had received was not sothing that a re mortal like him could withstand.
With that thought, his confidence returned.
’First, I need to narrow down the candidates for sacrifice.’
And the first prey he had in mind were the male quota bugs around him, whining and complaining.
.
.
.
Early in the morning, Jin Yuha stood before the freshn, looking the sa as she had the day before.
"Good morning. Let’s start the second day of training after warming up."
The second day of training was even more intense than the first, with no rcy shown.
It was a brutal training session that seed to test the limits of both body and mind. The freshn’s mouths were filled with the sweet taste of fatigue, and their bodies were drenched in sweat as if they had just taken a bath.
However, they couldn’t even open their mouths to complain about the unfairness, as Jin Yuha was performing training that was several tis more intense right next to them.
Only Alice, the female student, was able to keep up with the sa amount of training.
Even the special admission students were struggling, so what about the other male quota students?
Unlike the day before, when they had managed to last for at least 30 minutes, the male quota students couldn’t even last 10 minutes today before collapsing.
Among them, Min Tae-Hoon was the only one who completed the training alongside the special admission students.
After finishing the morning training, the special admission students ate together, while the male quota students did the sa. It was a natural division, without anyone needing to be told.
Once the male quota students were alone, they began to complain.
"Damn, is this training even possible?"
They let out their frustrations as if they had been waiting for this mont.
"Huh, is Jin Yuha doing this on purpose to humiliate us?"
At first, these students had been full of admiration for Jin Yuha, but now there was no trace of that emotion in their eyes.
"I’m a healer, so I don’t even need this kind of physical training... I don’t understand what the point of all this is."
"Yeah, he got all the good stuff and built up his body, and then he looks down on us. Did you see the way he looked at us?"
"Hey, keep it down, soone might hear."
One of the weaker male quota students looked around and lowered his voice. But the others, already blinded by their anger, didn’t seem to care.
"Damn, let them hear if they want. Do you guys rember how Jin Yuha first appeared here, riding on the coattails of Cheohwa and Mad Dog?"
At that, everyone fell silent.
It was a well-known story. Jin Yuha had appeared out of nowhere, using the fa of Cheonhwa and Mad Dog, the two most promising students at the ti, to rise to prominence.
"Co on, if you get special training from Cheonhwa and Mad Dog, get all the good stuff, and have the best equipnt, of course you’re going to be strong. It would be weird if you weren’t."
"He was just born with a pretty face and sucked up to those amazing girls."
"He’s just a playboy."
The other male quota students seed to agree. It was hard to believe that a man could keep up with won without so kind of support.
"Damn... I’m so pissed off just thinking about what Jin Yuha might do in the afternoon training."
At that mont, Min Tae-Hoon, who had been quietly listening to the complaints, spoke up.
"Then why don’t we beco strong like that too?"
The others turned to look at him with hostility. No one there had any positive feelings towards Min Tae-Hoon, as he was the only one who had managed to endure Jin Yuha’s training while everyone else had collapsed.
But their expressions changed when he continued.
"I’m sorry, but I used a bit of a dirty trick."
"A dirty trick?"
Min Tae-Hoon lowered his voice and leaned in.
"Yeah, my parents gave a pill."
"!!!!"
"If you take it, even a man can gain quite a bit of strength."
Everyone’s eyes widened at Min Tae-Hoon’s words. They felt betrayed that he had used such a cheap tactic on his own.
But Min Tae-Hoon, as if he had expected this reaction, smirked and continued.
"I can give it to you too."
"What?!"
He took out a box from his pocket and opened it, revealing dozens of black pills.
"But I’m also reaching my limit with the pill. I can’t keep up much longer."
"What do you want?"
These students weren’t stupid. They knew that he must have so kind of request if he was offering them the pills. But Min Tae-Hoon took a step back.
"It seems like you were just talking about sothing interesting."
"Interesting?"
"Yeah, you said Jin Yuha also grew by seducing Kang Do-Hee and Shin Se-Hee in the beginning. So, why don’t we seduce the special admission students and grow like that too?"
"The special admission students? Cheolbyeok and Hwarang?"
"Us?"
The male quota students exchanged glances.
"Well, Hwarang seems to have a fiery personality and not the type to hold grudges, so it might be easy to get close to her. And Cheolbyeok seems like a complete innocent woman when it cos to n. I think if we push hard enough, she might fall for us."
As Min Tae-Hoon, who didn’t seem like the type to say such things, took the lead in spreading these rumors, a sense of camaraderie ford among the male quota students.
"I can’t keep relying on the pills forever. Let’s try to ride on their coattails too. And originally, won go crazy for a guy with a surprising side. What if a weakling suddenly awakens and follows you? You’d think, ’Wow, was he always like this?’"
"Just tell us what you want already."
The large male quota student, who seed impatient, spoke up.
Min Tae-Hoon smirked and distributed the pills to the male quota students.
"What I want is simple."
The others didn’t know it, but what he was giving them were seeds of demonic energy.
After consuming these seeds and being influenced by the demonic energy, they would beco excellent sacrifices for summoning demons when combined with their negative emotions.
"Alice."
From the mont he first saw her, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
That woman with a haughty and aloof attitude, who seed to be living in her own world, was looking at Jin Yuha.
And Jin Yuha seed to be paying more attention to her than the other students.
What if he could take Alice away from Jin Yuha?
Alice was not a sacrifice for summoning demons.
She was just a gift for himself.
Min Tae-Hoon planned to corrupt Alice and summon a demon, and then escape with her help.
To be able to summon a demon and get a woman at the sa ti, it was like killing two birds with one stone.
"You guys can have Hwarang and Cheolbyeok, but help seduce that woman."
In truth, this was just an excuse to distribute the seeds of demonic energy to them.
He wasn’t being sincere.
’Hwarang and Cheolbyeok are also sacrifices.’
Unaware of this, the male quota students nodded with satisfied expressions.
.
.
.
"This demon is smiling..."
"Just leave him, he’s having a good dream."
Utopia Base.
In the conference room, a large screen displayed the dream of Min Tae-Hoon tied to a chair.
All the mbers of the Utopia party, except for Jin Yuha, were gathered to watch it.
"Huh..."
"I don’t like these male quota students even half as much as I like my junior. They’re the worst."
"So that’s what the freshn actually said about you today, Little Fool."
At Kang Do-Hee’s words, Ichika nodded.
"Yes, my ghosts delivered the situation to , and I recreated it. If it’s not based on reality, people can easily sense the awkwardness."
In other words, the words the male quota students were saying in the dream were the sa as what they had said in reality.
The only difference was that in reality, Min Tae-Hoon had taken a sick leave and left early for personal reasons.
How dare they say such things about Jin Yuha!
She felt like calling those freshn right now and giving them a proper education.
Lim Ga-Eul sighed deeply.
"I thought there might be a male quota student who could at least sowhat follow in your footsteps, Little Fool."
Even Lim Ga-Eul, who always had a relaxed and friendly smile on her face, had a stiff expression.
These were the kind of n who had been admitted as male quota students this year.
It made her realize just how different Jin Yuha was from other n.
The reason they were all gathered here to watch this was because of Ichika’s reservation.
Suddenly, Ichika had canceled all the dream reservations.
"But wasn’t this supposed to be a secret from Jin Yuha...?"
Yoo-ri scratched her cheek and asked Ichika.
"What can we do? It’s also true that this is a great opportunity to summon a demon without any sacrifices."
Shin Se-Hee responded to her question.
"Ichika, did you... did you tell Jin Yuha what we asked for in the dream?"
"Yes, I showed him the schedule."
"What? You showed him the schedule...?"
"But I didn’t show him the exact content."
Ichika said with a shaless expression.
’This kid. She did it on purpose!’
All the mbers of the Utopia party had stiff expressions.
After all, no one wanted their dark fantasies and desires to be revealed to Jin Yuha.
"Ichika, did you really not tell him...?"
Lim Ga-Eul, who seed the most guilty, spoke with a pale face.
"Yeah. I never told him that you were a pathetic senior who wanted to beat the benefactor so much in your dreams that you told to use the concept of master and pupil, and never gave him that stupid scripted scenario and then pointed out to him every single thing that was wrong with your speech, the background and the awkward parts."
"Ichika...?"
This was the first ti they had seen Ichika speak so much.
It seed like she had been holding in a lot.
"Cough!"
"Hmm!"
"Ah, I won’t do it again!"
Everyone coughed in response.
They all had their own secrets they didn’t want to be revealed.
"Okay. Good."
Ichika smiled.
’It seems like it’s not a bad thing to like the sa person as these people.’
And so, Ichika quickly grasped everyone’s weaknesses and rose to the top ranks of the Utopia party.
