To summon devils, thousands of ordinary people or hundreds of hunters with mana are
needed as sacrifices.
Alternatively, they could borrow the power of special artifacts like the black demon stone, as I saw when we defeated the devil with my master. Even then, they weren't enough and had to kidnap more sacrifices.
The easiest method is for the demon to use themselves as fuel for the summoning.
But even that is not easily accomplished.
Only those consumed by intense evil and desire (and even that must be at an extreme level) can make a contract with devils and become demons.
Such selfish beings would never sacrifice themselves.
'That's why they use this troublesome method.'
-Now, let's offer the sacrifices and summon the Demon Lord!
At that moment, the demon in the dream was on the rooftop, striking a pose, and shouting.
Unaware that he himself was the sacrifice.
"You crazy bastard."
The sight of the demon made me involuntarily curse.
Wooooong—
The seeds of mana he had consumed over time began to react and ripple.
'Hmm, if I leave him like this, he'll foolishly summon the devils...'
If I left him alone, he would continue dreaming happily until he died.
'That's absolutely unacceptable.'
At the very least, I had to make him regret and tremble in fear.
He needed to clearly understand that this was just a dream.
I gently stroked Ichika's head, who was manipulating the dream.
"Ichika, wake him up slowly. Now that the demon summoning has begun, he won't be able to
stop it on his own."
"Okay."
And Min Tae-hoon, who had been struggling in the chair, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Huh? Where... Where am I? Sacrifices, sacrifices!? Alice!!?"
He looked confused, unable to understand the situation.
Then his pupils dilated, and he fixed his gaze on me.
"Wh, what is this... Instructor Jin Yuha? What are you doing...?"
"A demon dares to speak my name?"
"Wh, what do you mean I'm a demon!?"
He spoke with genuine indignation.
His acting was quite natural, even in this sudden situation.
I let out a dry laugh and replied.
"Look at yourself."
At that moment, Autumn Senior took out a full-body mirror from her subspace tattoo.
"W, what is this...? Why am I...?"
In the mirror, there was a demon with bulging veins all over his body and black eyes.
Soon after, the restrained man struggled in the chair.
"J, Jin Yuha! You son of a bitch!!! What, what the hell did you do to me!!!!!!!!!!"
His scream of rage echoed throughout Emperor Mountain.
"Hehe. It's still too early for that reaction. It's about to get more interesting."
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?"
