FFF-Class Trashero

[15th Round] Smart Female Student!

▶ Embarrassment: Cadet Kang Han Soo, you keep calling me beautiful even though you haven’t seen me yet, which makes your words sound more like teases than compliments. Well, at least it’s better than the time you assumed I was a hairy man…

‘Glad to meet you again, my secret friend!’

But I didn’t expect her to contact me since I had already become the Demon Lord.

The system informed me that people would be specially assigned to observe me, but I didn’t think it would be the beautiful Trainee Teacher.

I assumed the one who’d appear would be the grim-faced Physical Education Teacher, who’d then say, “Work harder!”

▶ Pride: The seniors said I was the perfect fit since I had looked after you for quite some time. I’m so glad to finally be recognized by my wonderful senior colleagues!

I disagreed about the teachers who threw their work at their younger colleagues being wonderful, but I didn’t complain since it was thanks to their incompetence that I was able to meet Trainee Teacher again.

‘Do you have something to tell me? I suspect the faculty have a message for me that they don’t want to convey in person.’

▶ Confirmation: Yes. This is an official appeal. Um, you should get ready. It’s very long.

‘Long? How much?’

▶ Official Statement: Greetings. I am Parmael, Chairman of the Board and Director. I am also the one who founded Fantasy, a training center with longstanding history and traditions. First of all, I would like to apologize for the tragic incident that happened to student Kang Han Soo who bravely stepped into an unfamiliar world and graduated with excellent grades from a primary school that inspires hopes and dreams. Primary education is essentially made to give students time to adjust to the Fantasy World. I still vividly remember the old image of student Kang Han Soo looking around with fear and curiosity in his eyes after parting with his friends and family. It feels like it was just yesterday, but 100 years have already passed since then.

▶ If the primary education course is a period of adaptation to Fantasy, then the secondary education course is the real beginning of serious learning. It enables students to become aware of the significance of good and evil through more challenging adventures. As a result, they would ponder over the meaning of evil introduced as demons in the primary education course. (…)

▶ Based on the data obtained throughout their secondary education course, a unique professional approach personalized for each student would be used for their higher education courses. Although Kang Han Soo didn’t complete the secondary education course in the curriculum, based on the faculty members’ recommendations and excellent admission grades, we have inferred that you would be a great Hero in the future, which is why I feel even worse for the unpleasant incident that happened to student Kang Han Soo.

‘Hey Trainee Teacher? When will it end?’

▶ Answer: Um… I think I’ve read about 1/3 of it.

‘Dear God…’

▶ Official Statement: I shall tell you the whole truth about the incident that happened to student Kang Han Soo, an undoubted victim of circumstance. It’s a shame to admit this, but, unfortunately, it all started with the cruel behavior of a Fantasy School graduate. He demanded that the school erase his personal file, which was full of bad grades and terrible behavior. He even threatened his beautiful alma mater and the teachers who raised him like their own son by saying that he would resort to violence if we didn’t agree to fulfill his demands. His atrocities against this special place of remembrance are unforgivable, considering this institution helped him become a member of society and showed him the right path when he wandered away from his destiny during his primary education course. (…)

▶ As the Director of Fantasy, I decided to punish the unscrupulous teachers who gave that awful student high marks and diplomas. At the same time, I feel guilty for not doing this sooner. I hope this news would bring student Kang Han Soo, who is probably puzzled and angry about this situation, at least a bit of comfort. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude for his honesty and sincerity. He always criticized the cruelty of his senior, who had always been insidious and vindictive, and even helped the school get out of this crisis. Your feat will certainly enter the Hall of Fame, and you will serve as a model example for your juniors. I hope that at least brings you a bit of consolation.

‘Physically and mentally beautiful Trainee Teacher! I’m deeply sorry for interrupting you while you’re diligently reading that message without a break, but can you skip to the last line?’

▶ Problem: Sorry. There’s nothing I can do about it because of the school rules. Please don’t get distracted by counting the stars in the Milky Way in broad daylight and listen to me all the way to the end. This part’s the most important!

‘Well, just summarize it, please? Just give me the important points—’

▶ Official Statement: The school’s investigation team is currently looking into the possibility that one of the alumni helped Demon Lord Pedonar escape by colluding with him. It has also been established that there is an accomplice among the teachers who provided the Demon Lord with Kang Han Soo’s personal file. Hence, an internal audit is currently underway. It is expected that the investigation team will soon be able to present their findings since they are the best professionals in their field throughout the universe. Therefore, I ask the benevolent and kind Kang Han Soo to wait patiently for the results. Generosity is a good virtue that any good Hero should possess. (…)

▶ You’ll never be able to move forward if you forever regret your mistakes-filled past. I never thought the Demon Lord’s work was insignificant. Although not a teacher, he is a guide that helps students to become great Heroes. I have seen countless disciples who were rejected after the fall of the Demon Lord. There are no heroes without the Demon Lord. Dear student Kang Han Soo, don’t be discouraged by your new job and be proud of yourself. I am grateful to the universe and the fates for providing this institution with wonderful students ready to make sacrifices in these difficult times. I am proud of you as a teacher. I pray that your future as the Demon Lord guiding the younger generations to be filled with endless development and progress.

…

Was that all?

‘Is it really over?!’

▶ Confirmation: I have read everything the message contains.

‘Trainee Teacher, thank you for reading it with zeal, but I have a question!’

There seemed to be no mention of the significant damages I sustained in the director’s address.

What was her name again? Parmamon?

▶ Correction: Not Parmamon, but Director Parmael. Ahem. I think the compensation wasn’t mentioned because this is an official statement. It would be strange to hear from the God of this world that it wants to reward the Demon Lord.

‘So there will still be compensation, but it wouldn’t be formally recognized?’

▶ Joy: Yes! Don’t be surprised, but my high-ranking senior colleagues approached me, an intern, and asked for my opinion, which is amazing! They even accepted it!

‘Don’t be so nervous, Miss Trainee.’

I didn’t think anything was surprising about that.

It made perfect sense to ask the opinion of a trainee who knew me better than anyone else.

No, this was a clever way for them to avoid contact with me.

If I didn’t like the damage compensation provided, the innocent Trainee Teacher would be responsible for it!

‘So much for your wonderful colleagues…’

▶ Smile: Thank you for thinking of me, but there is nothing to worry about. If you like it, then it won’t be a problem, right? And I’m sure I made the right choice!

‘Woah. How can you be so sure? Would you hit your senior colleagues or headmaster between their sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae and their fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae for me?’

There was hardly any other compensation that could soften my anger.

▶ Goosebumps: It’s a little different, but I think my choice is better! Remember student Sieg’s smartphone?

‘Sure. Do you mean that latest smartphone with a character from the famous RPG “Saintess Mary” on its case?’

▶ Confusion: By today’s standards, it’s already outdated…

Ah…

Indeed.

I had been in this world for 100 years.

On the beautiful green planet Earth, time flowed ten times slower than in the Fantasy dimension, but it didn’t stop completely.

In other words, ten years had passed on Earth.

I was scared of my mother’s tennis racket all along, but now I was worried that her punching power would be GGG-ranked since I was getting older.

▶ Smile: Why not ask her personally?

‘Huh?’

▶ Explanation: Cadet Sieg hasn’t noticed yet, but thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot in his phone, it is now possible to connect to the network. Do you see where I’m going with this?

‘I do very well, Trainee Teacher!’

That meant that the wonderful earthly Internet was now accessible in the Fantasy World!

“Can I take a look at your smart… accessory with that nude saintess design, Hero Sieg?”

“Uhh… Okay.”

Momentarily confused by my sudden request, he took his smartphone out of his pocket and handed it to me.

A cellphone that didn’t have access to the Internet would only be valuable for its camera.

In the case of my friend Sieg, every time he came back, the photos he took disappeared. Its battery wasn’t infinite either, so he stopped taking pictures at some point.

If one sold a smartphone to a nobleman fond of collecting rare items, they’d be able to get a lot of money.

But now everything would be different!

Thanks to Wi-Fi, the possibilities had expanded significantly.

“Woah, seriously…”

Everything was as the most beautiful and intelligent Trainee Teacher in the whole Universe said.

As soon as I turned on his smartphone, an informational message appeared: “Searching for a network…” Soon enough, I managed to connect. All that remained was for me to enter its password.

The signal level was very weak, only 1 out of 4 bars, but the fact that it had a signal in itself was significant already.

I had to strain my memory.

About 88 years ago, Sieg entered Fantasy and fiddled with his smartphone.

There was nothing I could do about fingerprint recognitions, but passwords were different. Back then, I looked over Sieg’s shoulder when he shouted, “Wow! I remembered my password!”

The password then was… 569#.

“Cowardly hubby… you look like the whole world is in your hands.”

“Indeed, it’s as if Drug Hero is under hypnosis. I tapped his forehead with my heels, but he didn’t react. Before, he would have punished me with his fingers already…”

‘Quiet. I don’t have time to play with you right now.’

“It’s a pity that it’s almost drained.”

I didn’t return the smartphone to Sieg but put it in my pocket.

“Hey! What are you doing? That’s mine! Give back… Kh?!”

Oh. My hand slipped.

It was annoying that my copies were subject to the Demon Lord’s job penalty, which made them adjust to the strength of weak Heroes.

But the clone I personally controlled as I sat on the Demon Lord’s throne back in the castle was special. Its power was different from others.

I had been infusing it with additional strength to kill Sieg and Lanuvel in one shot.

Hence, even one touch was enough …

“Haha! Hero! You are really weak. Dislocation, sprain, fracture, inflammation, concussion, and bleeding…

“What… Marquis?!”

Sieg, who fell to the ground as his blood burst, hadn’t yet realized what had happened.

I hugged Ssosia by her waist and took her in my arms, then spread the wings of the righteous hero and soared into the air, leaving him with a proclamation.

“Hero Sieg! If you want to get your item back, come to the Demon Lord’s castle. I’ll be waiting there!”

To take control of Fantasy, Sieg had to become my first ally and the impetus to recruit all the other heroes into my ranks.

However, the plan changed when the most beautiful and intelligent Trainee Teacher presented such a wonderful gift.

“The Demon Lord’s Castle? But the Demon Lord I know is—”

“Did you not listen to Lanuvel’s explanation earlier?”

Of course, I understood Sieg well. He didn’t listen to Lanuvel, who repeated the same thing every time she returned.

I had done this since the 3rd round.

“I banished the Demon Lord Pedonar and became the Demon Lord myself! My name is Demon Lord Parmamon!”

I decided to ruin Director Parmamon’s name for introducing me to a new concept of verbal violence!

This was my revenge! Haha!

▶ Confusion: As I said, the director’s name is Parmael, not Parmamon…

‘Is it?’

But I already called myself “Demon Lord Parmamon.” It would be strange to change my name after all that had been said.

“Demon Lord Parmamon, you outwitted me! Then your wife…”

Sieg, who stood up with Lanuvel’s support and trembled all over, stared at Ssosia, whom I was holding in my arms.

She replied in a nonchalant tone. “I’m still his wife.”

“The Demon Lord’s wife! So the fact that you’re an elf is also a lie! It was suspicious from the start! There cannot be such a beautiful elf with such large breasts!”

“That is a disrespectful remark to the elf race. Historically… Kya! What’s the matter?”

‘You talk too much, cowardly wife!’

The MAX-Class husband would be busy exploring the modern culture of his beautiful home planet.

New phones, games, anime, short stories, TV series, films…

Its battery charge wasn’t infinite. I had no time to waste time on Sieg.

“Hero Sieg! You better not die! If you die, then I will find you and kill you again!”

If he got himself killed, the world would reboot.

His smartphone, which didn’t belong to me, would ten disappear and return to his hands.

I wouldn’t want to go through the trouble of reclaiming it again.

At the very least, Sieg should remain alive until its battery had run out.

“What do you mean?”

“Since I’m in a good mood today, I will spare you, Hero Sieg and Lanuvel the Liar.”

“Vile Demon Lord Parmamon! You lied way worse than her!”

“Don’t compare me to her. It disgusts me!”

“Ooh! The Demon Lord mentioned me! I’m getting goosebumps!”

FSHUH!

I soared high into the skies without answering Lanuvel, who, until the very end, pretended to be sweet even despite the critical situation.

“Let’s go back to our cozy bed to customize your smartphone,” said Ssosia.

After acquiring an item as important and useful as flush toilets, the MAX-Class Demon Lord went on a long vacation!
