I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 141: Demons Are Everywhere (3)

"One should not judge people solely by their names."

But living in this world, I had learned one of its rules.

A person's name was a mirror reflecting who they were.

Whether the author was too lazy or it was a deliberate concept, those who showed the potential to become demons in this world all had strange names.

"Celestia. I need you to look something up."

"Yumir's training mate? Let's see... Nam Du-chang, Gong Tae-beom, Eun Hae-young. They're D, C, and B classes, respectively."

"Just looking at their profile pictures, you can almost tell what kind of people they are."

One shouldn't judge by appearance alone, but if I were to name these people assuming they turned into demons, they would be something like this:

The Radical Tattooed Demon.

The Damp-Eyed Demon.

The Backstabbing Gossip Demon.

"I feel like I've suddenly understood physiognomy."

Names, faces, and the reputations of those around them were gleaned through the Ability User Wiki or the powers they possessed.

According to the information gathered through Celestia's intelligence and the community I used, these three Koreans had appearances that could, unfortunately, be described as the epitome of the 'Ugly Korean.'

"It's wrong to judge by appearance, but somehow, it seems... right."

"A person's life and character are often reflected in their face, don't you think? Mr. Jang?"

"I agree."

We were currently in a limousine, heading to the pension.

This was a conversation that could only be quietly shared inside the car, equipped with soundproofing, as it was too sensitive to discuss openly.

"In Ulleungdo, it's a bit less common, but if you go to Busan or Gangwon Province, you'll often see Koreans swindling foreigners."

"Like those who go to Japan and push others to drink with them?"

"You don't even need to go as far as Japan. In Gangneung or Pohang, where there are many foreigners, you'll find plenty of Koreans saying 'Do you know makgeolli?' to foreigners."

"Don't be too hard on them. As a bar owner, they're all customers to me."

"......I see."

What should I say?

It was frustrating how twisted everything seemed to be.

"But that's still decent, isn't it? The term' kimchi premium' didn't come from nowhere."

"Who's going to accept a hunting offer based on a person? It's the fact they're Korean, have Korean nationality, and have a house in Korea that matters. Nowadays, just saying 'I'm from Busan' is enough to impress foreign women. Just average it out."

It was an era where Koreans could easily bring foreign daughters-in-law abroad.

"If the face isn't good, just get plastic surgery, and if the child becomes an ability user, they automatically become more attractive."

In this world, it was typical to aim for higher chances of having an ability user as a child in Korea, and even if that failed, the strategy was to marry a Korean man and immigrate the whole family to Korea.

"What should we do in other cases?"

I showed Mr. Jang the photo of 21-year-old B-class female ability user Eun Hae-young, Yumir's training mate.
