SWNOVELXO Chapter 233
Chapter 233: Training Center (1)
The result of using ‘Brain Mode’ at 100%.
‘Perfect.’
Jung Minwoo was able to formulate a flawless plan for his future direction.
‘I need to organize this in my diary.’
He took out the ‘Infinite Diary’ that Dantalion had gifted him and started writing down his plans.
After he finished writing down all the plans.
Th i s was c o p ie d from k i n g mtl . o r g
‘Let’s take a look.’
He took time to double-check if he had missed anything.
Recruit talent for the Training Center.
Business proceedings.
Challenge the 30th Rank.
Jungma Communion members’ Challenge for the Throne.
Corrupt 1 million pigeons.
Hunt the Four Archangels.
Challenge the 1st Rank.
A total of seven things.
‘I’ve written down how to proceed, so I just need to follow this.’
If he prepares for the future like this, even if the Celestial-Demonic War were to break out, his life wouldn’t be threatened.
‘The organization is complete…… Shall I share this information with the Jungma Communion members now?’
Since they are comrades who will be together for the rest of their lives, it was necessary to share this kind of information.
‘And if we know the future and prepare together, we can shorten the time even further.’
Moreover, if the Jungma Communion members moved with a sense of urgency, their efficiency would increase severalfold.
‘Should I call them now?’
Instead of bothering to call them through the Head Butler, Jung Minwoo used ‘Mind’s Eye’ to send a telepathic message to the Jungma Communion members and Sayori.
【I have something to tell you, so come to my office right now.】
A few minutes after sending the message.
Creak—
“We’re here.”
“What’s the matter that you called us using a telepathic message?”
“……Is it urgent?”
T h i s wa s co p i e d fr om k in g mtl . o rg
“Croak, croak.”
“Calling us at this hour, is it something serious?”
The Jungma Communion members and Sayori opened the office door and entered.
“Yes, there’s something I need to tell you urgently.”
Jung Minwoo offered them to sit on the sofa, then.
“The reason I called you all is……”
He went straight to the point without embellishment.
After hearing the entire explanation, the Jungma Communion members and Sayori.
“Celestial-Demonic War……?”
“Suddenly, such a huge war is going to break out?”
“……That’s possible.”
“Croak, croak?”
“You’re saying Baal will collude with Cheonsin?”
They couldn’t hide their surprise at the fact that the Celestial-Demonic War would break out because of Baal.
At first, they reacted with disbelief, but. When he said it was confirmed through Dantalion’s unique trait, they soon accepted it.
“We need to get stronger faster than now to prepare for the Celestial-Demonic War.”
“That’s right, we can’t just die helplessly while fighting, so we need to get stronger quickly.”
“……There’s no time to relax.”
“Right now, becoming a Demon Lord is the key. Croak, croak.”
“Demon Lord……”
The Jungma Communion members and Sayori realized the gravity of the situation and strengthened their resolve to become stronger quickly.
As everyone was lost in their thoughts.
“Does my dad also know that the Celestial-Demonic War will break out because of Baal’s betrayal?”
Sayori raised her hand slightly and asked a question.
“The Demon Lord doesn’t know.”
“Uh…… You’re not going to tell him?”
Sayori’s expression hardened at the words that he didn’t know yet. But.
“No, it’s too long to tell him verbally, so I’m planning to write a separate document and send it to him.”
“I see.”
Sayori’s expression softened at the words that he would send the summarized content as a document.
“Do you have any questions?”
When Jung Minwoo asked, looking at the Jungma Communion members.
T h is w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l. o r g
“Me.”
Venus, who had been lost in thought, raised her head and spoke.
“Tell me.”
“What period of time do we need to become Demon Lords within to be perfectly prepared for the Celestial-Demonic War?”
“Hmm, I think it would be good to become one within 5 years. That way, you can steadily build up your individual and faction’s power.”
“……Within 5 years.”
Venus, unusually, made a frown on her forehead and sank into thought.
T h i s w a s c o pi ed f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Minwoo-nim, I have another method in mind.”
She cautiously gauged the mood and hinted that she had a new method.
“What is it?”
“How about we get married when you reach the 30th Rank, Minwoo-nim?”
And she made an unexpectedly bold statement.
A completely unexpected development.
“What?”
Jung Minwoo asked back, looking at Venus with bewildered eyes.
“It’s…… not that I have any other intentions, but if Minwoo-nim marries me when you reach the 30th Rank, I would be granted the ‘wife’ rank, so I would gain the same power as the 30th Rank, right? So…… I thought maybe through this method, we could shorten the time even further and be prepared……”
Venus blushed and began to explain incoherently.
If he didn’t know the future, he would have thought it wasn’t a bad method, but.
‘Could it be…… that I got three wives in this way?’
Having just seen the future, it wasn’t something he could take lightly.
He guessed that this kind of situation might have happened later, even if not now.
“……Then I want to get married too.”
“Me too, it’s unfair for only you to get married, right?”
As if to prove his prediction right, Elin and Sayori also expressed their willingness to get married.
‘Surely, Anubis won’t do that, right?’
Jung Minwoo glanced at Anubis.
“I’ll become a Demon Lord with my own power.”
Fortunately, she stated firmly that she had no such intention.
He breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
“Phew, croak, croak.”
He could see Rok, who was sitting next to Anubis, also breathing a sigh of relief.
‘First, let’s think about it.’
Jung Minwoo decided to think calmly about the current situation.
If he reached the 30th Rank, Dantalion would become his subordinate, creating a vacancy at the 72nd Rank.
Then, it would be possible to become a Demon Lord right away due to the vacancy, without even going through the Challenge for the Throne.
‘If the one who becomes a Demon Lord immediately raises their rank, the other one can also quickly become a Demon Lord through the Challenge for the Throne without waiting.’
Calculating the time, it was possible to have two Demon Lords within a month.
Based solely on efficiency, there seemed to be no method that could surpass this.
‘Marriage……’
He wondered if he would be blocking their path by marrying them to prepare for the future, but.
‘Unlike higher beings, demons don’t place much obligation on marriage.’
Except for Satan, who was a unique case, most demons had multiple spouses, so there wouldn’t be any problem in that regard.
‘Yes…… overall, this is the best method.’
He just felt uneasy because he had seen the future.
‘No, I decided not to dwell on the future.’
Jung Minwoo shook his head vigorously.
‘Let’s ask one last question, and if they agree, we’ll get married.’
He looked at Venus, Elin, and Sayori.
“Even though it’s my first marriage, isn’t it better to marry a demon you like for the sake of your goals?”
When he asked the question.
“It’s okay because it’s a marriage with a demon I like.”
“……Me too.”
“Me too.”
They answered quite directly.
‘Sayori is understandable, but were they always this bold?’
Jung Minwoo felt his mind go blank for a moment, but.
“Alright.”
He soon regained his composure and answered that he would marry them.
Afterward, they began to discuss when to hold the ceremony.
“Let’s hold the ceremony as soon as you reach the 30th Rank.”
“That’s good.”
“Since you said you’ll hold the Challenge for the Throne within six months, it’ll be quite tight to prepare for the ceremony from now on.”
“If it’s too tight, we can push back the schedule……”
“No, it’s okay. It’s tight, but not so much that we can’t prepare.”
“Alright.”
They even decided on the date for the wedding ceremony.
The next day.
“Great Master, congratulations.”
The Head Butler, having heard the news from somewhere, congratulated Jung Minwoo on his upcoming marriage in six months.
“……Thank you.”
“As someone who serves the Master, I’m only filled with emotion.”
“……Is that so.”
“The thought of being able to serve the Master’s children in the future already makes my heart swell.”
“It’s not that much……”
“Surely, the children of the Great Master will be brilliant.”
“That’s true……”
“If they grow up, they will surely take the position of Demon Lord……”
It was a refreshing change to see the usually taciturn Head Butler acting like this, but.
T h is wa s co p ie d f ro m k i n g m tl . o r g
‘……Isn’t this too much?’
Seeing him even talking about his grandchildren, he thought this was going too far.
As the Head Butler was about to bring up his great-grandchildren.
“But what brings you here?”
Jung Minwoo interrupted the Head Butler and asked about his business.
“Ah, I apologize. I was so overjoyed that I momentarily forgot my duties.”
The Head Butler, realizing that he had gone too far, bowed his head and apologized.
“It’s okay, I didn’t feel bad because I could feel your concern for me.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“So, what brings you here?”
“The Training Center sent documents, so I came here to deliver them.”
“I guess it’s time. How many people applied in total?”
“300.”
“300……”
Considering the total number of cadets was 1,000, about one-third of them had applied.
“That’s quite a lot. Would you put the documents on the desk?”
“Alright.”
The Head Butler took out a stack of documents from his subspace and placed them on the desk.
“Hmm…… It’s quite thick.”
The volume was so large that it reached the ceiling of the office.
You might wonder how 300 applications could reach the ceiling, but.
Since the instructors wrote down the cadets’ strengths, weaknesses, and reasons for applying, each cadet’s file was over ten pages long, which made the stack quite thick.
“It’ll take quite some time to review them.”
“I’ll help you.”
“No, the instructors put a lot of effort into writing them, so I should review them myself.”
“Alright.”
“You can leave now.”
T hi s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
“Yes, please call me anytime if you need anything.”
After the Head Butler left the office.
“Phew…… Let’s quickly review them and get this done.”
Jung Minwoo unfolded the documents and began to carefully review the information of the applicants.
T h is w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i ngm tl. or g
‘Oh, the cadets I had my eye on also applied.’
He could see that three out of the six cadets he had been watching had applied.
‘They have good judgment.’
T h i s w a s c o p ied fr o m k i n gm tl .o r g
Jung Minwoo gave them bonus points in his mind and carefully examined the written content.
‘The instructors only wrote praises about them.’
If the Training Center instructors praised them this much, their abilities were practically guaranteed.
‘But you never know what they’re really like, so it’s not good to have too high expectations.’
After five hours of reviewing, Jung Minwoo.
‘Shall I go to the Training Center?’
He decided to go see the cadets he had been watching.
“Head Butler?”
He called the Head Butler, looking at the office door.
Creak—
The Head Butler opened the door and entered.
“Prepare the carriage for me, I’ll be heading straight to the Training Center.”
“I’ve already prepared the carriage.”
“Is that so?”
It seemed like he didn’t possess the ‘Butler’ unique trait for nothing. Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but admire the Head Butler’s outstanding work ability, anticipating his needs and preparing everything in advance.
‘His preparedness is thorough.’
T h is w a s co pi e d f r om k i n g m t l . o r g
He thought once again that he had made the right decision in bringing the Head Butler to his side.
“Let’s go.”
“I’ll guide you.”
T h i s wa s co p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Okay.”
Jung Minwoo then boarded the carriage under the guidance of the Head Butler.
Clack, clack, clack—
They headed straight to the Training Center.
