I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 125
#125. Demone Alui (2)
ââ¦This part-time job is dangerous?â
âyes.â
Albertâs eyes became even more blood-red.
Eyes that go beyond fear and even feel bizarre.
Normally, it would be normal to take a step back or even get startled, but Damdeok just stood there blankly.
He even tilts his head as if he is worried.
âAlbert. Are you hurting somewhere? âMy eyes are bloodshotâ¦â
At Damdeokâs unexpected reaction, Albertâs eyes instantly returned to their original color.
âHmm! hmm!â
Albert cleared his throat.
He was lamenting his situation of always being left behind by foreign gods, so he tried to joke around for a bitâ¦
âHeâs not scared at all.â
Honestly, I was a little embarrassed.
He was a high-level demon like the official instructors over there.
The act of a high-ranking demon turning its eyes red was one of the typical abilities used to scare an opponent.
âThereâs no way a mid-level god could handle the demonic energy of a high-level demonâ¦â
But Damdeok was still looking at Albert with concern.
âAre you okay?â
ââ¦Itâs okay.â
âThen Iâm glad.â
ââ¦.â
After a moment of silence, Damdeok opened his mouth again.
âSo what does it mean to say that this part-time job is dangerous?â
ââ¦Isnât it stated in Luciferâs notice? âSalaries are only paid while alive.â
âOh, thatâs right.â
âDid you notice anything strange?â
Damdeok thought for a moment.
strange thing?
Of course, it was strange that the salary was a large sum of 1,000 Lucifer, and the employerâs sentiment in parentheses was also strange, with the condition âif you can surviveâ.
Thatâs about it.
âIsnât this common in the world of gods?â
After encountering so many strange things, I came across strange writings like thatâ¦
Damdeok shrugged his shoulders.
âIn the first place, the greater the reward, the greater the risk. He said he would give a generous reward if he survived⦠It was an announcement that clearly showed the presidentâs large heart. haha!â
Itâs half sincere and half sarcastic.
But Albert looked at Damdeok carefully and nodded seriously.
âI guess I played a prank. If you have that mindset, we will do our best to serve you while you are there.â
âYes, I would appreciate it if you could.â
âYou still have to be careful. In fact, the survival rate of assistant instructors is extremely low.â
As expected, there must be something there.
Damdeok asked more specifically why the survival rate of assistant instructors was low.
The story Albert told was a little surprising.
ââ¦So, are you saying that assistant instructors have to participate in the battle against the demon king together?â
It was an unexpected reason.
Suddenly, I remembered Aluiâs words when he first saw me.
ââ¦Has the assistant instructor changed again?â
Albert continued to explain that there was an incident in which the assistant instructors, feeling threatened for their lives, ran away when Alui was defeated in the battle for the demon king in which he participated.
âThis scenario is nothing special.â
Damdeok frowned.
All I have to do is take the fifth guardian. I had no intention of directly participating in the battle for the Demon King.
âWhy on earth is an assistant instructor competing together?â
âItâs a tradition. Since the Demon World is a place where people live their whole lives alone, they created a rule a long time ago that requires teachers and students to participate together in the battle for the Demon King. In fact, it is said that the origin of this tradition began when many princes who became demon kings brutally killed their teachers who were stronger than themâ¦.â
After all, the demon world is the demon world.
The origins of tradition were once brutal.
âSo, forming a bond between priests. âAre you saying that such a small rule was put in place for something like this?â
âYou are correct. âAlui-sama asked for an assistant instructor, but in fact, at least one person is required to participate in the competition.â
âNo, if itâs a bond between priests, shouldnât the official instructors go out? âI am not a demon, but a god from outside.â
âIâm sorry, but it would not only be against fairness for high-ranking demons to directly participate in the contest, but if they did so, the princes would die without even having a chance to compete fairly with each other.â
What kind of bullshit is that?
They say that the true purpose is to form a strong bond with a teacher⦠But what is equity? Pick pick? What on earth are you talking about?
âLetâs just not try to understand.â
In any case, if you look at the result, doesnât it mean that only innocent part-time workers are dying because of a useless tradition?
I felt like I knew the feelings of the assistant instructors who ran away after losing the battle.
Official instructors gathered one by one to Damdeok, who was clicking his tongue.
Everyone was raising both hands and feet to the stubborn Alui.
Alui still held a wooden sword in his hand instead of a real sword.
ââ¦after. Hey Bozo.â
Kun, who was in charge of teaching weaponry, said angrily to Damdeok.
He planned to teach the newbie how to guide the stubborn Alui from now on.
Of course, the real intention was to relieve the accumulated stress by shouting and hitting at the same time as the words were telling.
âassistant?â
But Damdeok doesnât respond.
Iâm already so angry that the prince doesnât listen to me, but even his part-time worker doesnât listen to me?
A deep wrinkle appeared between Kunâs eyebrows.
âHey assistant! âCanât you hear me?â
Only then did Damdeok slyly reply.
âAh, did you call me? âMy name is Damdeok, not Bojoâ¦â
There was a moment of cold silence.
In addition to Kun, the martial arts instructor, Uro, the martial arts instructor, Ciel, the magic energy management instructor, Hyeon, who teaches leadership, and Kio, who teaches cruelty.
The five official instructors were momentarily at a loss for words at Damdeokâs torture-like answer.
âyes. You tell me. âWhatâs going on?â
Damdeok leaned forward, pretending to listen.
Kun thought about plunging the blades in his belt into the part-timerâs head, but
he had no choice but to hold back.
âIf the assistant instructor changes again this time, I wonât leave it alone.â
Alui was watching this way with his eyes flashing.
Havenât seven of the assistant instructors that Alui requested already run away this month?
Of course, that was probably a big reason why they had to risk their lives in the battle for the Demon King, but the extreme territoriality of the official instructors also played a role.
Alui told Lucifer in detail that it was the atrocities of the official instructors, and since they had to go through a fairly harsh reprimand, they had no choice but to hesitate.
âDamn you little boy!â
If it werenât for his status as a prince, Kun would have been pounding his head and teaching him long ago, but in the end, Kun suppressed his anger and began to explain to Damdeok about his future guidance policy.
* * *
First, martial arts.
Second, weapon technology.
third. Operation of magical energy.
fourth. Cruelty.
fifth. Leadership.
Damdeok nodded as he looked at the letters engraved on the wooden blackboard.
âFive virtues to become a demon kingâ¦.â
âHey, donât hesitate, start quickly.â
Kun, the weapons instructor, urged.
The official instructors were standing crookedly in a row, looking at Damdeok, who was standing in the center of the training ground.
âSo, try teaching one of these virtues to the 5th prince, right? âIn front of their eyes?â
Some kind of competency assessment? It was a similar concept to class observation.
Although the eyes looking at them were more like they were anxious to catch something rather than observingâ¦
âIf you want something.â
Wouldnât it be enough to just show it?
Instead of taking Baekseol out from inside the lion armor, Damdeok picked up an old wooden sword from the training ground.
Then, Alui, who was standing in front, slowly raised his wooden sword with a reluctant look on his face.
âwhat?â
Damdeok was slightly surprised.
This is because Aluiâs posture was perfect without a single flaw.
âI donât think you need guidance?â
âhey! âDo it quickly!â
âWhy are you procrastinating like this?!â
âIf you donât have confidence, say you donât have confidence right now!â
âTch, you guys are making so much noise.â
Damdeok kicked the ground first as the official instructors chanted.
Taaat!
First, he attacked Alui with basic attacks such as horizontal, vertical, and diagonal cuts.
Crack! widely! Sigh!
Aluiâs sword moved as expected.
It calmly defends well against subsequent attacks.
Then Damdeok changed his sword techniques and started attacking.
Quickly raise the slash, then immediately cut diagonally, sting like a bee, and then turn around. While performing a curved cut with an esza, he also swung the sword as heavily as an axe.
But the results were all the same.
Sigh! Perfect! Sigh!
Alui blocked Damdeokâs attacks quite well.
No, on the contrary, he seemed to clearly know the timing of his counterattack, but it felt like he was intentionally not attacking.
âwhat. Youâre already quite skilled, right? Then⦠this too?â
Damdeokâs movements became faster and faster.
Accordingly, Aluiâs sword also changed dazzlingly.
[ Activate the skill!]
Various types of sword techniques began pouring out from the tip of Damdeokâs sword.
Starting with the rhythmic swordsmanship of White Cloud, he threatened with the powerful swordsmanship of Hercules, then dazzled him with the gentle swordsmanship of Athena, and in between, he swung the blade imbued with the terrifying murderousness of Hades like a storm.
âUgh!â
Aluiâs once relaxed complexion gradually became more and more perplexed, and Damdeokâs stab at the end sent Aluiâs wooden sword flying far away.
Whirling! Sigh!
Alui looked at Damdeok with surprised eyes.
Damdeok slowly put away his sword and bowed his head to end the sparring.
Truly close to perfect swordsmanship.
There was silence.
Clap clap clap clap!
Butler Albert, who was applauding alone, cleared his throat when he received glares from the official instructors.
ââ¦what are you? âA sword spirit?â
Kun, the weapons instructor, has blades on his waist! I asked while fiddling with it.
I was planning on catching the pod and punishing him somehow, but the part-timer showed off his flawless swordsmanship, so he seemed to be getting excited.
âyes. âThis is Yu Dam-deok, the swordsman.â
âHmph, I never even asked your name. I enjoyed seeing you perform some tricks. Even so, you are only an assistant instructorâ¦â
Kun spoke with unusual emphasis on the word âassistant.â
Then, as promised, other official instructors also began to chime in and disparage Damdeokâs swordsmanship.
âSwordsmanship doesnât match the virtues of a dark demon lord.â
âWouldnât the answer be found in martial arts, weapons, magic, brutality, leadership, and swordsmanship alone?â
In response to the support of his colleagues, Kun, the weapons instructor, spoke arrogantly with his shoulders shrugged.
âI will recognize you as an assistant instructor. Starting from the next class, please clean Aluiâs exclusive weapons to a smooth shine. âThatâs all you have to do.â
A small wrinkle appeared on Damdeokâs forehead, but he did not get angry hastily.
âWhat should we do next after cleaning our dedicated weapons?â
âWhat are you doing? Thatâs it. âYou just need to be good at assisting in class.â
âAlui, youâre not teaching swordsmanship?â
When Damdeok asked that question, the faces of the official instructors crumpled.
âOh my godâ¦! âWhat does this arrogant foreign god teach the demons?â
âDonât be mistaken! You were just hired as an assistant. âYou can just do whatever youâre told to do at the time. How are you going to take on the role of an official instructor?!â
âThe only thing you know how to do is swordsmanship!â
The only thing I know how to do is swordsmanship.
Damdeok felt moved once again.
âDemons must know how to use a variety of weapon techniques rather than swordsmanship! What else do you know besides swordsmanship? Do you know any other weapon techniques? What about bare-chested fighting? Do you know how to do martial arts? How dare you say that you will teach Alui with nothing more than swordsmanship?!â
Damdeok, who was quietly lowering his head as criticism and ridicule continued to pour in, muttered softly.
âItâs just swordsmanshipâ¦â
An unusual energy flowed from Damdeok. Then, the eyes of 5th Prince Alui, Butler Albert, and the official instructors were focused on him.
Damdeok slowly raised his head.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
âThen would you like to compete with me?â
