Episode 111
Black armor covers his entire body.
A huge greatsword was hanging from his back, and he could tell at a glance that it was a famous sword because of the cool light it gave off.
“My name is Motem. Choi Hyun-seok is a familiar face, right?”
The identity of the black armor is Motem.
As someone who was active in the Captain’s Tournament Flag Capture, Choi Hyun-seok had already clashed with him once.
“You will be acting as the acting commander in my stead from now on, so say hello to him.”
Raidrun looked at the monument and sat lost in thought.
‘I’m worried…’
Acting Corps Commander.
This role literally takes over the role of the Legion Commander while Hemis is away.
Is this person named Motem really qualified to take on such an important position?
Mortem is only a member of Hemis’s retinue and is not part of the Demon King’s army.
“Commander. Are you alright?”
Raidrun asked.
It doesn’t matter to me, but the problem is the other division commander.
It was obvious that if Motem became acting corps commander, the division commanders under the 3rd Corps would object.
Although the magical energy felt from Motem was quite strong, it was not beyond the level of a division commander.
If you look at just the total amount of magic, it’s average.
The Demon King’s Army is a group where force does not represent everything.
I was worried whether he, who was practically a parachute, would be able to properly control the other division commanders.
“It doesn’t matter. At least in our legion, no one except me can beat Motem.”
“…All right.”
Raidrun nodded.
I was honestly curious, but if that’s Hemis, then that’s what it is.
If that Mortem can overpower the other division commanders with force, then there’s nothing to worry about.
“Morten doesn’t know much about military affairs, so Raidrun, you can help me out.”
“yes.”
Hemis, who had finished his high-speed parachute greeting, waved his hand and gave a congratulatory order.
“Then everyone, go ahead. As I said before, I’ll be away from here often, so I figured you don’t have to be here.”
“yes.”
Everyone bowed their heads and left the office.
thud…!
The door closes, and a strange atmosphere lingers.
Motem approached Choi Hyun-seok.
“Long time no see. Choi Hyun-seok.” “Yes! It’s nice to see you again like this. Hahahahaha…!”
Cold sweat ran down Choi Hyun-seok’s back.
Raidrun and Roiger, unaware of what had happened between them, watched the two with puzzled expressions.
“Thank you for last time. I had fun thanks to you.” “Hahaha…! I went a little too far with my jokes, but thank you for understanding!”
Capture the Flag, the second game of the Captain’s Tournament.
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok had a history of giving a big blow to Motem and then stopping him.
“You were a bitch when we met… Let’s never see each other again.”
I feel like I want to go find myself and sew my mouth shut for saying something like that.
‘You idiot! Why are you talking like that!’
Hemis said a little while ago.
In the 3rd Army Corps, no one can defeat Mortem except for Hemis himself.
In other words, Motem’s military power is higher than that of an average division commander.
I gave a big shit to that monster and then he suddenly came back to me as a superior.
My eyes went dark.
The situation was not usually awkward.
“In the short time that I was there, I became twice as strong as before. And that’s in a short period of time.” “No! My skills are still poor…”
Fortunately, Mortem didn’t seem to want to bring up that incident.
He put his hand on Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder.
At the same time, Choi Hyun-seok’s face is distorted in pain.
Kwaaaaak…!
It’s a vicious force that feels like your entire shoulder will be ripped off.
“Look forward to the future.”
“Choi, I will do my best!”
It would not be an illusion to hear a hint of laughter in Motem’s voice.
Rolling around in the Demon King’s Army for a while.
I thought things would be a little more comfortable after finally becoming a regimental commander, but it was no use.
***
A few days passed.
Contrary to Choi Hyun-seok’s expectations, the past few days have been unusually quiet.
I wonder if it’s ever been this quiet since I came to this world.
Hemis was doing what she said, keeping quiet, and even though they were at the front lines, there wasn’t a single human in sight.
Motem was the only thing he was worried about, but he was also busy trying to figure out the duties of the legion commander, so he didn’t really touch Choi Hyun-seok.
Thanks to this, Choi Hyun-seok was able to focus the remaining time entirely on training.

“Okay. It’s finally done.”
As a result, Choi Hyun-seok was finally able to perfect his fighting skills using body transformation.
[Congratulations! You’ve completed a new form of speculation!]
[As a reward, physical transformation due to magic is stabilized]
[Please choose a name for your speculation. It will be registered as an official skill.]
[1/2 of the remaining speculation to complete the warrior quest]
Choi Hyun-seok’s face was filled with joy as he watched the system alarm.
“Congratulations, warrior! You finally succeeded.” “That’s right. But there’s still one more warrior quest left to complete.” “Hey~ You’ll finish the next one faster.”
“I guess so?”
Anything is difficult at first.
Now that I’ve gotten a feel for how to make speculation this time, I think I’ll be able to do it more easily next time.
“They asked me to name this speculation. What should I do?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked.
Rachel watched him closely with her arms folded.
Overall, Choi Hyun-seok’s appearance has not changed much.
The only difference is that a long blade protrudes from its forearm and horns grow from its head.
From the tip of the horn, an electric current flowed out intermittently with a “snap!” noise, and Choi Hyun-seok could release it if he wanted to.
Another difference was that physical abilities were slightly improved compared to before.
All of this was possible because it had the properties of a magical water called ‘Pulminium’, one of the magical ampoules that Choi Hyun-seok drank.
“I thought of a good name!”
“What is it?”
“When you say blade, it’s Wolverine! The name of this fight is Wolverine Mode!” “I don’t think we should use that name. It seems like it’ll cause trouble here and there.” “Why? Wolverine! It’s a wild animal that resembles a bear that lives in North America!”
Rachel smiled as if to tell him not to worry.
“No way. I don’t like that name.” “Then what are you going to call it?” “Well… Since it’s a transformation from the demon called Falminium, I guess I’ll just call it Falminium Mode.”
Choi Hyun-seok shrugged.
Rachel’s mouth stuck out, as if she was not pleased.
“Ooh, what is that? It’s trivial.” “I don’t know, I don’t know. It’s important for names to be intuitive. I’ll decide on this.” “Tch. Why did you ask when you were going to do whatever you wanted anyway?”
Choi Hyun-seok ignored it because he had nothing to say.
I promised myself that from now on I would just decide without asking Rachel.
“By the way, the system is also strange.”
Rachel tilted her head and said.
“What’s so strange all of a sudden?” “That’s right. It’s clear that there’s no such thing as using magic in the warrior system. Don’t you remember when I tried to make a speculative item before and lost 500 warrior points because of magic?” “Oh, that’s right.”
The warrior shop has the functions of generating speculation and generating magic.
Choi Hyun-seok had tried to create a speculative skill by spending a whopping 500 warrior points, but failed because he possessed magic.
“It’s a system for warriors, so it’s natural for errors to occur in magic. But, look at the warrior’s status window right now.”
“Why the status window?”
“In the ability column, there’s magic power management, magic attack. In the skill column, there’s raid-style fighting techniques, fighting technique variations, Flomote, and Noblelace, they’re all things that use magic, right?”
“Oh… I see.”
“Even the ability score has the word ‘Magi’ written clearly as a numerical value. So it’s strange.” “Hmm, it’s definitely strange.”
Warrior system.
It is literally a system for warriors.
Since warriors would never use magic, it was only natural that the system would not take magic users into consideration.
But if you look at Choi Hyun-seok’s status window now, it’s all related to magic.
Even this warrior quest has you create a spell using magic, and as a reward, it is said to assist with body transformation through magic.
At this point, it’s not a warrior system, it’s a ‘demon system’
I think it should be renamed to ‘System’ or ‘Demon King’s Army System’.
“Maybe so.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been thinking, opened his mouth.
“Couldn’t the system be evolving too?” “The system is evolving?”
“Yeah. You said it before. The system has changed a lot since then.”
“That’s what it was.”
“That means the system changes too. Then it can evolve to match the magic.” “Hmm, that makes sense.” “When the magic ability was first created, it was displayed as a question mark (?) in the status window, and then it changed to magic a long time later. I think that might have happened during the evolution process.”
It was a plausible explanation.
Rachel nodded and continued.
“It’s possible. Especially since you’re the best reserve warrior with SSS-class potential! Who knows, maybe God is considering me!” “That can’t be. If God was really considering me, he would’ve cut off your head first.”
“What did you say!?”
“Ahem, just kidding. Just kidding.”
Choi Hyun-seok coughed in vain and changed the subject.
“By the way, I had a thought while looking at the status window.”
His gaze was fixed on the title at the top of the status window.
▫Title: Reserve Warrior
The title I received when I first fell into this world.
Even after quite some time has passed, nothing has changed.
I never really paid attention to it, but once I noticed it, it really bothered me.
“When the hell are you going to take this damn spare tag off?”
“Is this a spare part?”
“Yes. The title is still that of a reserve warrior. Where else can you find a warrior who has grown as well as I have?” “That’s strange. Normally, the reserve tag would have been removed much earlier than this.”
“okay?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened.
I just threw that out there without thinking, but you really did get a spare.
“By the standards of the Demon King’s Army, roughly a battalion commander? With that level of force, you can usually get rid of the reserve tag. If you become a regular warrior, you’ll be given various benefits.” “Wait a minute, then why am I still a reserve?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s current level is 671.
The combat power is a whopping 92,870.
He has already surpassed the rank of battalion commander, and is now at a level that is considered relatively stable even among regimental commanders.
Yet the title of ‘reserve warrior’ remained the same.
“It’s such a loss. If there’s a benefit, you should get promoted quickly!” “Usually, a promotion quest drops. If you complete that, you go from a reserve warrior to a regular warrior.”
“Promotion Quest?”
“Yes. You can just think of it as a warrior quest. Instead, the reward is a title.”
“aha.”
You can upgrade your level by completing the warrior quest.
It was a simpler format than I thought.
“The content is basically about saving a village in danger, or killing demons, or something very heroic.” “Then why don’t I get that promotion quest?” “I’m not sure. Isn’t it because you’ve been acting in a way that’s not befitting a hero?”
“Umm…”
I want to deny it, but I can’t.
Because more humans have died by his hands than demons so far.
He even became a high-ranking officer in the Demon King’s Army, up to the rank of regiment commander.
At first glance, it seems as though he is aiming to become the Demon King rather than a hero.
“wait for a sec.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was thinking about something, suddenly frowned.
“The more I think about this, the angrier I get.”
“What is it?”
“That’s right. Who wants to live like this? I hate it too! Who am I doing this for!?”
His voice gradually gets louder.
“Send it to the Demon King’s army without permission. It’s a demon tribe with a hero quest.
Who told you to be gentle and easy on me? And now you’re not even going to take off my reserve badge because I’m not a hero? What kind of crappy system is this!?” “Hey, hero, calm down.”
Rachel tried to stop him, but Choi Hyun-seok, who had already started acting up, didn’t know how to stop.
His eyes began to shine brightly.
“I can’t help but be dissatisfied with the warrior system, right? Huh!?” “So, wait a minute…”
“Isn’t this too much! F*ck!”
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok shouted.
Tiring! The familiar alarm sounded.
★☆★☆ Warrior Quest! ★☆★☆
You’re still upset because you can’t get rid of the reserve tag!
You’re still a rookie, but no matter what anyone says, you’re a true warrior!
To you, we give you the opportunity to become a regular warrior, not a reserve warrior!
Overcome the serious ordeal and throw off the reserve~ label!
· Goal: Achieve 92,880 combat power. · Reward: Regular Warrior title.
Choi Hyun-seok narrowed his eyes and looked at the warrior quest.
“No matter how I look at it, it seems like it’s going to be a hit.” “What are you talking about all of a sudden?” “I got a promotion quest.”
“Huh? Really!?”
“You should have given this to me a long time ago, but you forgot and are giving it to me in a hurry because I’m swearing at you, right?” “Hey, the warrior quest is given by the system. There’s no way a system that’s no different from a machine would have such a function.” “Then what’s this in front of me?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the warrior quest once again.
Reserve~ warrior, reserve~ tag, etc.
It emphasizes the reserve four times and even has a wave pattern.
“It seems like you’re teasing me by saying, ‘Ebi~’!” “No matter what, isn’t that just a persecution complex?” “Persecution complex? Persecution complex!? You gave me a goal of raising my combat power by 10, and now you’re joking around saying it’s a serious ordeal. Does that look like a persecution complex to you!?”
Choi Hyun-seok checked the quest objective once again.
Achieved combat power of 92,880.
Choi Hyun-seok’s current combat power is 92,870, so he only needs to increase it by 100,000.
The level was too low to be considered a promotion quest.
“This makes it clear. There’s someone messing with me with the warrior quest.”
At this moment, Choi Hyun-seok clenched his fists and made a pledge.
If only I could meet this warrior system operator someday when everything is over.
“On a really rainy day, I get beaten up until the dust rises.”
Today, too, it was the apostle of God, warrior Choi Hyeon-seok, who committed blasphemy.
