Chapter 1942 Reporters can be an A**hole
The only question that she was unable to answer was the future of JODE. That was the only one where she relegated that question to Ma Ge to answer. And yet, even with that, he gave a short and open ended answer that did not satisfy the reporter at all. As such, the reporter decided to change his question which Claire was able to answer. "If there are no other questions, we can proceed with the tour," Claire said and everyone seemed to look forward to the tour that they unanimously decided to not ask anymore. (There was one who wanted to ask a question but before he could open his mouth, he could feel the number of stares stabbing behind his back. Thus, he subsequently shook his head and stated that he was taking a stretch.)
"Alright. if there are REALLY no more questions. Groups would be assigned based on the rows and category." Claire announced and the emcee took over. Soon, the groups were formed and all of them were being sent to corners of the school to start. Jin also decided to tour and see their teacher\'s point of view to know what kind of expectations they had. And it was easy for Jin to blend in mainly due to the fact that no one exactly knew that he was the creator of this school because everyone was too busy working to get the school up and running.
Still, he was rather surprised at how enthusiastic the teacher he was following showed the place to the parents and media reporters. If Jin was not wrong, the teacher was part of the Demon Taming Department so when it came to the Demon Taming Stables, he was extremely vivid despite the fact there were currently no demons in the stables.
And it was precisely because he was so excited on the stables that one of the reporters turned a little sour and did a prick move, asking why there were no monsters in there if the teacher had praised it to the high heavens.
"For the safety of our audience, it is best that the animals were being kept in a different area." "Are you suggesting that the Demon Exorcists are not skilled enough to handle and defuse such a situation if it ever happens? Or are you not confident enough to handle your Demons?" The reporter said in an oh so annoying voice that a few started to gossip and whisper about the competence of the Demon Taming Department.
However, it seems like the teacher knew that such a person may emerge from the group and continuously gave assurance that it was indeed for the safety of the group.
"You do not have to worry. I myself am a Grade 7 Cultivator. I know most demons are usually in second or third grade. Just bring it out! I can handle it!" The reporter provoked and that was when the teacher felt like he was in a pinch that he could not escape.
"I know we can be such assholes but do they really have to do that in front of the entire group?" Jin said to himself and guessed that if he did not help to defuse the situation, the teacher and Yuan\'s Foundation JODE academy would be on the blacklist of this particular reporter. However, before he made any move, he asked the System which newsgroup did was the reporter representing.
"Sinhua Daily." The System said and told him that while he might not be a rather big player in our National Media, Sinhua Daily is rather vocal in their global audience.
"Then I guess if I do not help, he will blemish the name of this JODE school as well as my dungeon supplier to the global audience," Jin said and the System agreed as well.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Just show us one. And we will be satisfied." The reporter taunted.
"Sir, you do not understand. I cannot compromise the safety of-" Before the teacher could finish saying, Jin finally interrupted.
"Grade 2 or Grade 3? Are you seriously underestimating the JODE Demon Exorcists?" Jin shouted in the middle of the crowd and the eyes stared at him. "You think that we are so stupid to show you low grade monsters and demean ourselves?"
"Who are you to even speak out like this to me?" The reporter said and wanted to spite him even more.
"Me? I am a nobody, not someone particularly notable. But it\'s just that the way you say our Demon Exorcists, I could not accept it." Jin said as he walked out of the crowd with a half Panda Mask on his face. At the same time, he hovered over his storage watch to take out a Demon Exorcist emblem. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
And when he faced the entire group, he pinned the Demon Exorcist\'s emblem on his shirt and smiled. When the reporter saw this mysterious stranger, all he did was to click his tongue. No matter how he tried to focus his powers to sense his chi, all the reporter could feel that this pompous Demon Exorcist was mere a Grade 4 Demon Exorcist. The rest of the group who were able to sense chi could also see his grade and began to smirk at the absurdity of this Demon Exorcist who tried to protect the teacher.
"Yeah. You are really a nobody. And seeing how you wear a mask, I assume you are also afraid to show your identity, eh Grade 4 Demon Exorcist?" The reporter purposely teased him so that those who could not identify his chi were able to read the situation. "You. I do not know who you are but please do not make matters worse." The teacher sent a telepathic message to Jin and yet the masked Demon Exorcist did not budge a single bit. "Don\'t worry, Teacher. I was part of the Demon Taming Department as well. So, I think I should stand up for it when they speak ill of it." Jin said as he patted the teacher\'s shoulder and the group could deduce that the Teacher had secretly requested the Demon Exorcist to make matters worse.
"Very well. Don\'t say we do not give you a chance to prove yourself. Grade 4 Demon Exorcist." The reporter purposely emphasised the last part to show his irate toward the Demon Exorcist who tried to act cool.
"Then don\'t run away when you see it, alright? Besides, you won\'t die since this is a dimensional instance." Jin said and the reporter took his threat as empty words. "User, are you planning to use that?" The System could roughly infer what Jin was going to do.
"Why not? It so happened to work in favour for us." Jin said as he slowly raised his hand and with a snap of his finger, a portal opened right behind him. "You will definitely scare the group." The System warned but Jin did not care.
"They deserved it." Jin\'s mouth started to twitch as he slowly lowered his hand and pointed at the reporter. When the Demon Exorcist teacher saw the portal, he was terrified. Even in the Demon Taming Department, the size of a portal to call upon their Demon is equivalent to the size of the Demon. So when he saw how large the portal was, he trembled …with both fear and excitement. Was this a bluff? Was this real? He had no idea what lies behind as being a teacher for so long, it was rare for him to see such a huge portal. "Who is this Grade 4 Demon Exorcist?!"
"You think you can scare us with such a big portal?" The reporters and the group who did not know the basics of Demon Taming merely thought that the Grade 4 Demon Exorcist was merely playing as the fool. Some of them even took their phones out to video the entire scene as they thought this might be a hilarious act by the Demon Exorcist.
However, everything changed when a huge hand emerged from the portal and later its head. The Red Cross Ape roared with unfettered strength that the people filming it were stunned by its appearance. The next arm came out while holding onto a huge rod as support to put itself out of the portal.
"Oops. Sorry, Red Cross Ape. Looks like I underestimated your size. Did not remember you might have grown bigger with all that free booze and fruits." Jin smiled as he snapped his finger once more and the portal enlarged.
