The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well

Chapter 24: The Devil Wears a Suit

Time flew by, and the day of the “The Devil Wears a Suit” exam arrived.

‘Perfect.’

Jung Minwoo got up from his seat, closing his textbook.

‘I’ve memorized everything, so a perfect score is a given.’

He had memorized every page within the exam scope, so he could solve any question without difficulty.

‘Well then, shall we go?’

Jung Minwoo straightened his clothes before heading out of the dormitory.

‘Everyone’s engrossed in their books.’

Looking at the demons walking down the hallway, they were all moving while reading their textbooks.

‘I used to be glued to my books on exam days too.’

Th is w as c o p i e d fro m king mt l. o r g
Before his reincarnation, Jung Minwoo was also preoccupied with studying on exam days.

‘But now, there’s no need for that.’

Unlike then, he had memorized everything perfectly now, so he didn’t feel the need to look at the textbook.

Creak—

T h is w a s c op i ed f ro m k i n g m tl . o r g
Reaching the classroom door after walking down the hallway, Jung Minwoo opened it and stepped inside.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

He could see the demons studying diligently with their textbooks.

‘Everyone’s working hard because it’s exam day.’

Normally, they would be busy chatting, but since it was exam day, they were all silently looking at their textbooks.

‘It feels like a library.’

The silence was similar to that of a library.

The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of pages as they turned.

‘I should go and sit down quietly.’

Not wanting to attract any unwanted attention, Jung Minwoo carefully moved to his seat.

“Good morning. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok greeted him in a quiet voice.

“Good morning.”

Jung Minwoo responded to the greeting and sat down.

“Don’t you feel nervous? It’s our first exam. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Jung Minwoo chuckled at Rok’s question and said,

“Of course, this exam could determine whether we graduate or not.”

“Sigh… I hope we do well. Ribbit, ribbit.”

“Of course, we’ve studied so far, we’ll definitely do well.”

T hi s was c o p i e d f r o m k in gm t l . o r g
Perhaps encouraged by the words of support, Rok said with a more relaxed face,

“Hearing you say that gives me strength. Thanks for the kind words, even if they’re empty. Ribbit, ribbit.”

“They’re not empty words, I mean it. Who taught you how to study? Of course you’ll do well, right?”

Rok smiled faintly at Jung Minwoo’s words and replied,

“You’re right. Ribbit, ribbit.”

As they were having this light conversation,

Creak—

“Everyone, focus.”

The instructor opened the door and entered the classroom.

“I’ll announce the details of the exam, so listen carefully.”

At the mention of the announcement, the demons who were reading their textbooks closed them and looked at the instructor.

“The exam will be held in the auditorium, not the classroom. Leave all your belongings here and move to the auditorium when the announcement is made.”

One of the demons raised their hand at the instructor’s words.

“May I ask a question?”

“What is it?”

“Is there a particular reason why the exam is being held in the auditorium?”

The instructor looked at the demon with a dumbfounded expression and said,

“Why do you need to know that?”

“…”

“What you need to focus on is not the reason why the exam is being held in the auditorium, but how to do well on the exam. Got it?”

“…I’m sorry.”

The demon lowered their hand with a dejected expression at the instructor’s rebuke.

‘Sigh, he got scolded for asking an unnecessary question.’

Jung Minwoo shook his head and fell into thought.

‘The reason for holding it in the auditorium is simple. It’s to catch those who are cheating.’

Each instructor had different abilities, so they might not be able to detect cheating, which is why the exam was being held in the auditorium.

‘…If you get caught, you’ll be executed without mercy.’

The reason why Jung Minwoo knew this was simple.

He had figured out the exam format in advance using his Mind’s Eye.

“Well then, everyone continue studying.”

Having conveyed all the necessary information, the instructor left the classroom without hesitation.

About 15 minutes after the instructor left,

[The “The Devil Wears a Suit” exam will begin in 15 minutes. Please proceed to the auditorium immediately.]

The announcement came through the speaker in the classroom.

“Shall we go?”

“Let’s go right away. Ribbit, ribbit.”

As soon as the announcement was made, Jung Minwoo headed to the auditorium with Rok.

Entering the auditorium,

‘As expected, they’ve finished the renovation.’

Unlike during the “I am a Demon” competition, the structure had been changed.

‘It’s been turned into an exam hall.’

Hundreds of desks were set up, with instructors positioned between them.

“Take your seats according to your numbers.”
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l . o rg

At the words of the massive demon on the podium, the cadets moved in an orderly fashion and found their seats.

“Good. Before we begin the exam, let me give you a warning.”

The cadets looked at him with nervous expressions.

“Cheating will result in execution.”

A short and simple warning.

However, its content was quite brutal.

‘They killed someone for being late at the entrance ceremony, so in a way, this is also a natural consequence.’

Jung Minwoo had a feeling that several demons would die in this exam.

‘As long as I don’t cheat, it doesn’t matter.’

Since it had nothing to do with him, he decided to focus on the exam.

“The first subject is ‘History of the Demon World’. Instructors, distribute the exam papers.”

At the command of the massive demon, the instructors handed out exam papers and pens.

“You have one hour. Begin.”

The massive demon announced the start of the exam.

Rustle—

Jung Minwoo flipped over the exam paper and checked the questions.

‘Nice…!’

He could see that the scope of the exam was exactly what he had studied.

‘Alright, let’s solve this.’

Jung Minwoo smiled confidently and began to solve the questions without hesitation.

‘I can finish this within 30 minutes.’

As he was solving the questions one by one,

“Cheating detected.”

An instructor shouted, grabbing a demon by the hair.

“It seems you didn’t take my warning seriously. Execute him.”

The massive demon clicked his tongue and ordered the execution.

“Yes!”

Splat!

The demon’s head exploded, and their body collapsed to the floor.

‘…They’re not messing around.’

Jung Minwoo felt a chill down his spine at the sight.

He had seen it at the entrance ceremony, but getting used to the sight of death was impossible.

“Everyone, turn your heads back to the front. Otherwise, it will be considered cheating.”

T his wa s c o p i e d f r om k i n g m t l . org
At the words of the massive demon, the demons hurriedly turned their heads back.

“Another one here.”

Just a few seconds after one demon was killed, another was caught.

“Damn it!”

“Stop right there!”

The demon pushed away the instructor’s hand and started running towards the auditorium door.

“A futile attempt.”

The massive demon sneered and snapped his fingers.

Snap—

Splat!

The fleeing demon’s head exploded, and they collapsed to the floor.
T h i s wa s co p i ed fr o m k ing mt l . org

“Dispose of the bodies.”

The instructors nodded at the massive demon’s words and dragged the bodies outside.

‘…This is brutal.’

Jung Minwoo realized that if he kept getting distracted, he wouldn’t be able to solve the questions properly, so he focused on the exam paper.

‘Don’t worry about it and do what I have to do.’

He heard the screams of demons a few more times, but Jung Minwoo persevered and managed to solve all the questions.

“Everyone, hand in your exam papers.”

Seeing that the instructors had collected all the exam papers, Jung Minwoo leaned back in his chair and let out a deep sigh.

‘…The first subject has drained all my energy.’

Looking around, he could see that the seats, which were once full, were now sparsely occupied.

‘But it’s over after four more subjects, so I have to keep going.’

As he was stretching and loosening up,

“Did you do well on the exam? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok, who was sitting next to him, spoke up.

“Of course. What about you?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Rok answered with a confident smile.

“I think I did better than I expected. Ribbit, ribbit.”

Judging from his reaction, it seemed like he had done quite well on the exam.

“That’s great. Let’s keep this momentum going for the rest of the exams.”

“Let’s do it. Ribbit, ribbit!”

Afterward, Jung Minwoo tackled the exams on “Great Figures of the Demon World”, “Characteristics of Pigeons”, “The Duty of a Demon”, and “Planetary Invasion” one by one.

T hi s w a s c opi e d f rom k ing m tl . o rg
And fortunately, the exam scope he had studied came up, and he was able to solve all the questions perfectly.

‘At this rate, getting first place is no problem.’

As the instructor collected the last exam paper,

Th is w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Everyone, good work. The exam results will be announced via broadcast when they’re ready.”

The massive demon announced the end of the exam.

Jung Minwoo smiled brightly and spoke to Rok.

“Shall we go grab some food?”

“Sure. Ribbit, ribbit.”
T h i s w as c o p i ed f ro m k i n g m tl . or g

As they got up from their seats and were about to leave the auditorium,

“Number 1-nim.”

A familiar voice called out from behind.

“Huh?”

Turning around, he saw Pink Girl, Werewolf, and Ice Princess standing together amicably.

“If you’re going to eat, would you like to join us?”

Jung Minwoo nodded at her suggestion and said,

“Sure, let’s go.”
T h i s wa s c o pie d f r o m k i n g m t l. o r g

And so, Jung Minwoo headed to the cafeteria with the group.

“Seriously, Number 1 is a fortune teller! Everything he said came up on the exam!”

Werewolf exclaimed while eating.

“…Was it really that accurate?”

Pink Girl asked, and Werewolf pounded her chest and said,

“Do I look like someone who would lie? Anyway, I did pretty well on this exam.”

“…I’m envious.”

Ice Princess looked at Werewolf with envy.

“How did you do on the exam?”

Jung Minwoo asked Ice Princess.

“…Not well.”

Ice Princess shook her head with a sad expression.

“Hahaha! It’s okay, you can do well on the next exam!”

Werewolf burst into laughter and patted Ice Princess on the back.

“How about you, Number 1-nim? I’m sure you did well, right?”

Pink Girl asked, and Jung Minwoo shrugged and said,

“Of course.”

“You’re a bit annoying, being so affirmative like that.”

Jung Minwoo ignored Pink Girl’s words and asked the same question.

“How did you do?”

“I think I did well… but I’m not sure.”

Jung Minwoo nodded at Pink Girl’s answer.

‘Well, it’s understandable that she can’t be sure before the results are announced.’

He could be certain because he knew all the answers, but Pink Girl and Ice Princess’s reactions were normal.

‘Compared to that, Werewolf is way too confident…’

Looking at Werewolf, she exuded confidence as if she had easily secured a spot in the top 10.

‘Well, we’ll know for sure when the results are announced.’

As they finished their meal and were about to move to the cafe for dessert,

[The exam results have been posted on the bulletin board in the hallway. All cadets, please check your scores.]

The announcement about the exam results came through the speakers.

“Looks like coffee will have to wait.”

“Indeed.”

Instead of having coffee, Jung Minwoo and his companions headed straight to the bulletin board.

“There’s quite a crowd…”

It hadn’t even been three minutes since the announcement, yet

Murmur, murmur, murmur.

Demons were lined up in front of the bulletin board.

“It’ll be a challenge to get through this crowd.”

Jung Minwoo agreed with Pink Girl’s words and said,

“What choice do we have? We have to get in there and check.”

And so, Jung Minwoo pushed his way through the crowd and finally reached the bulletin board.

‘Finally made it.’

Jung Minwoo caught his breath and turned his gaze to the bulletin board.

‘…I must have gotten first place, right?’

Although he had done well on the exam, he couldn’t help but feel nervous checking his score.

With a trembling heart, he looked at the top of the board.

‘There it is!!!’

1st Place – Number 1 (100)

He had proudly secured the first place position.
