Calming down Hayan, who seemed quite startled,

we all gathered together in the middle.

“How are Chae-song and Chae-rin doing?”

“They’re useful, their movements are good, and you can tell they haven’t been slacking off in training.”

Jeong Ha-yul’s evaluation of S-Class Lee Ha-yoon was simply that she was useful.

The fact that Jeong Ha-yul deemed her useful was high praise for the Lee sisters.

“Really? Thank you!”

“We’ll work even harder! Thank you for helping us today!”

The two who received one-on-one tutoring from the Demon King and the Great Thief will surely grow stronger, right?

It might be a good idea to form a monster raid team with them at the front and us at the back.

But that’s a matter for the distant future, so let’s think about it later.

“Chae-song, from now on, just train as Jo Se-hee taught you. Your strength isn’t your speed. You have a lot of natural strength, so training focused on strength would be effective, but it’s not speed supporting strength, it’s more like strength supporting speed. I’m not an educator, so it’s hard to explain, but anyway. Got it?”

“Yes! Thank you for the advice. I’ll do that from now on.”

Is today’s training really ending here?

Jeong Ha-yul, who usually keeps Ha-yoon and me in the training ground for at least two to three hours, started giving feedback before even an hour had passed.

I thought we sat down to rest, but it seems we sat down to end.

“Chae-rin, just keep going as you are now. Your direction isn’t bad. But since your Awakening rank is B-Class, you need to pay a lot of attention to opening your magic circuits. S-Class is something you’re born with, but A-Class is achievable for anyone with enough effort.”

“Yes! I’ll work hard!”

That’s nothing but a deception of talent.

If anyone could reach A-Class with effort alone, wouldn’t its value diminish?

Most people can’t reach A-Class no matter how hard they try.

The wall of talent is too solid to break through with effort.

But Lee Chae-song and Lee Chae-rin seem to have talent and work hard, so there’s no need to bring that up here.

And since they’re talking so seriously, if I interrupt and point it out, Jeong Ha-yul will get upset.

When she or Eun-chae get upset, it lasts forever and it’s exhausting.

Flirting and coaxing them works, but only a few times.

Flirting makes me feel self-loathing and miserable.

The so-called reality check hits me hard.

“And Jeong Gyeoul.”

“…Yes?”

You beat Ha-yoon today.

You thought you did really well… but was there something lacking?

“You need to work on your personality, I’m worried you’ll get cursed at when you go out into society.”

What I was criticized for wasn’t about the sparring.

…?

Hey, Demon King.

That’s not something you should be saying.

“I learned it all from you.”

“What? I’ve never heard anyone say I have a bad personality.”

“….”

That was shameless.

But…

I think she really means it.

People clinging to a chaebol heir wouldn’t tell the heir they have no manners.

Thinking about that, it’s possible Jeong Ha-yul has never been told she has a bad personality.

Who would discuss the Demon King’s personality in front of the Demon King?

But… wasn’t the reason she became known as the Demon King in the first place because of her personality?

“Not answering?”

“Y-yes! Your personality is great!”

“Right? You need to learn from me.”

Where is the good personality in scowling just because I didn’t answer?

If I had been three seconds late, I would have been hit.

“And Hayan.”

“Yes, unnie.”

“Don’t get complacent, even if Gyeoul has risen to A-Class, you’re not someone who should lose so easily.”

“…Yes, you’re right.”

“Your handling until then was excellent, you can use all attributes, so breaking through with compatibility is the most efficient. Keep doing that.”

It feels like I’m the only one getting scolded.

But wait…

Did I ever mention I became A-Class?

Glancing at Jeong Ha-yul, she seemed to know what I was thinking and continued.

“I can tell just by watching you fight, you broke the seal again, right? We’ll talk about the details at home.”

“Okay…”

At home, a nagging session awaits.

But wait…

They’ve seen my seal, so that’s understandable.

But is it okay to reveal to the Lee sisters that Ha-yoon is a mage who can use all attributes?

This time, I glanced at Hayan and then back at Jeong Ha-yul.

“….”

Jeong Ha-yul is sharp.

She seemed to have caught on to what I wanted to say.

Her pupils shook.

It seemed like she spoke without thinking.

Looking at the Lee sisters, sure enough, they were gaping and looking back and forth between me and Hayan.

Oh, I didn’t tell them I became A-Class either.

As for cleaning up…

The one who made the mess should handle it.

I got up from my seat.

In times like this, the fastest to run away is the wisest.

I thought I was the wisest.

Jo Se-hee was already gone, nowhere to be seen.

By the way.

What’s with all these missed calls…

[Lin Hazel]

[Lin Hazel]

What, did the Clock Tower catch fire?

….

Ah.

She said she was coming to Korea, and I completely forgot.

I didn’t even tell the Academy.

Hmm… I’ll pretend I lost my phone.

Sorry, Lin.

I grew up under Jeong Ha-yul, so where would my personality go?

***

The next morning.

After sending off the Lee sisters, who refused breakfast and went back home, and seeing off Ha-yoon.

“I don’t want to go…”

“No matter what, you have to go home, your parents are worried.”

“Ugh…”

Her reluctance to go home was no different from any other teenage girl.

Even an S-Class Awakened One can’t overcome hormones.

After sending off all the guests,

peace returned to the Demon King’s house.

At least, that’s how it was until a moment ago.

“Hello, Hero Jeong Ha-yul!”

“…Was filming today?”

“Huh? We scheduled everything last time and even texted you yesterday that we were coming to film…”

“….”

Jeong Ha-yul was flustered.

The filming team was flustered.

“…Should we reschedule?”

“No, come in.”

After finishing training and spending energy playing with middle and high school girls, Jeong Ha-yul didn’t have the energy to check her phone.

The middle and high school girls defeated Jeong Ha-yul, known as the world’s strongest.

Lee Chae-song, Lee Chae-rin, and Lee Ha-yoon had so much to talk about that they chatted until sunrise.

Jeong Ha-yul and Jeong Gyeoul sneaked out in the middle and barely managed to sleep.

Jeong Ha-yul fell asleep as soon as she lay down at 5 a.m. and didn’t remember what Baek Kang-woo said to her.

-You know we have filming tomorrow, right?

-Yeah…

She answered in her sleep, but didn’t know what Baek Kang-woo was saying.

Of course, Jeong Gyeoul was the same.

-Gyeoul, we have variety show filming tomorrow, is it okay if you come?

-Yeah…

As if scripted, Jeong Ha-yul and Jeong Gyeoul had the same reaction.

Anyway.

The sudden arrival of the filming team left Jeong Ha-yul and Jeong Gyeoul in a state of shock.

‘So it was today…’

‘Suddenly filming? I guess I don’t have to be in it, right?’

Jeong Gyeoul planned to spend the whole day in her room.

‘Let’s get some more sleep first.’

Just as she was about to return to her room.

“Where are you going?”

“…To sleep.”

“Since the filming team is here, let’s film together.”

“No!”

Jeong Ha-yul clung to Jeong Gyeoul like a water ghost.

“Then I won’t film.”

“….”

Jeong Ha-yul winked at the filming team and quickly conspired, but unfortunately, Jeong Gyeoul didn’t see that scene.

“Hello, Jeong Gyeoul, I’m Kim Yu-ra, the main writer of ‘Omniscient Hero’s Point of View.'”

“…Hello.”

With years of experience in broadcasting, she couldn’t miss Jeong Ha-yul’s signal.

The main writer quickly sided with Jeong Ha-yul and started coaxing Jeong Gyeoul.

“Filming doesn’t require you to do anything special, it’s just a daily observation variety show. Of course, we’ll pay you! If we can’t film and go back, we’ll be in big trouble… Please, just this once.”

Few in the broadcasting station would break a main writer of a program, but Jeong Gyeoul, unaware of how broadcasting works, was swayed by her words.

“…Really, I don’t have to do anything?”

“Yes! Just live as you normally do.”

“Okay…”

“Thank you!”

Jeong Gyeoul came home to relax but ended up being roped into a variety show.

‘…No wonder Eun-chae and Kang-woo weren’t in pajamas.’

She shot them a resentful look, but the two pretended not to see Jeong Gyeoul’s gaze.

“So when does filming start?”

“Right now,”

“…?”

“Is the setup ready?”

“One more minute!”

“Just pretend we’re not here… We’ll just do some interviews with Manager Baek Kang-woo. Filming starts now!”

In the blink of an eye, 15 cameras and microphones were set up.

Three of them were remote-controlled cameras.

Only the youngest writer and the VJs remained, while everyone else moved to the vehicle headquarters.

Now, they will control the broadcast while watching the real-time footage from the cameras.

Even though it’s called a real-time observation variety show, it’s not 100% real.

If the broadcast footage seems lacking, the writers have to step in.

Anyway.

The sudden filming began.

‘Omniscient Hero’s Point of View’

A reality show showcasing the real daily lives of heroes.

These days, variety shows featuring heroes are trending.
