A Genius At Work

He bent down on his knees and slowly removed the earpiece from Aqua's hold.

"If I'm right then..."

Jin paused as fixed the earpiece to his ear.

"System, alter my voicebox to match that of this hunter's and shut down."

Jin finished his words as the demon's voice greeted him.

[What do you mean? Switch your system off?... If you switch your system off, wouldn't the effect you brought go off?]

The Demon Lord raised his question.

"Nope. The devil is in the details, Delo!. What I said the system to do was to alter my 'voicebox' and not just my 'voice'..."

"The voice box is a physical organ inside me so even if the system went off, the changes brought inside my body won't perish"

[Ah!!. Makes sense... It's my fault for doubting you Kekekek...]

....

[The voice box of the user has been altered to match that of the voice of Hunter Aqua]

[Switiching off the system as per orders]

*BOOTS DOWN*

[So why switch your system off then?]

The Demon yet again asked a query.

"Wait and Watch"

Jin's voice, which wasn't his voice anymore resembled a feminine voice. Conceivably, it was the voice of the female, who was out cold before him.

Jin accepted the incoming call from the earpiece as he clicked the accept button.

"Hello Aqua?"

A man's voice greeted Jin from the earpiece.

"Yes, Aqua here... I have lost the Demon Possessed Hunter, but have managed to deal damage"

Jin replied in his feminine voice.

"As per the satellite reports, I don't sense another presence besides yours and Theo's at your location. Could you please specify the direction in which the Demon Possessed Hunter might've escaped?"

The Man's voice was quick and tense.

[Oh!. I get it now!! You switched off your system so that your presence wouldn't appear on the satellite reports... Damn!!]

'Took you long enough!'

Jin replied to the demon with his thoughts.

Now that the Demon was slowly integrating with Jin, the transmission of thoughts between them was possible.

"Yes... I think the target might have escaped to the west of City Bountress."

Jin replied to the voice attending on the other side of the earpiece.

"Alright!. Please meet up with the backup at the school."

The man replied.

[Uhuh... How would you deal with this?]

"Negative. I and Theo have been hit pretty hard. Please dispatch the backup to the mountain behind the school. I worry that I might lose my consciousness in a minute."

Jin replied with a grin.

[Genius! Kekekek]

"Noted. Please hang in there. Backup is being sent"

*Hangs Up*

.....

"Hah! That took a while"

Jin slumped to the ground, his hands spread open.

[Now what are you gonna do?. The backup's coming and you can't switch on your system]

The Demon Lord shrugged.

"Ah... Guess I'm trapped with this voice for the time being."

Jin grinned as he got up.

"But I can assure you that we are safe... at least for now."

Jin began jogging into the woods, avoiding the mountain trail.

"First, We'll take a detour to school. Even though I'm tired... I guess I can jog 2 and a half kilometers back within half an hour..."

[Oho?]

"Yeah, I'll activate my system as I cover the first kilometer"

Jin said in his feminine voice as he jogged through the forest.

[But won't the reports find your presence??]

The Demon Lord asked his question which carried sense.

"Ah... I don't have to worry about that anymore."

[And why is that?]

"It's obvious Delo. For them, It was the real Aqua that reported back to them, telling them that the Demon-Possessed Hunter had escaped to the city's west whereas my school is in the east. It would be common sense that they'll go after the greater threat... won't they?"

[Haizz... That makes sense as well.]

"That means, no satellite checking for now"

Jin jumped over a fallen tree and proceeded with his jog.

"That also means, I can switch my system on!"

[System has been switched on]

"System, Alter my voice box back to its original state"

[Altering voice box]

[Voice box alteration complete]

"Ahh! My dear voice!! I missed you"

....

[Would the user like to use the accumulated experience points?]

"Ah!! I had my doubts about this. I've been wondering why I haven't leveled up a bit even though I knocked out two hunters"

Jin nodded his head. He was still jogging through the woods.

"Yes, Use the experience points."

[Using the experience points]

[Due to defeating 2 Mythic Class Hunters, The user has been awarded an exp boost]

[The user has gained 20 levels]

[The 'Mana' Stat has been unlocked]

[Persona 1: Perk - The Shadow Phantom has been unlocked]

[Persona 1: Perk - The Shadow Phantom]

[The Shadow Phantom is a perk that allows the user to create infinite clones of himself or other matters. The user can design the clone's appearance to his choice. If the user wants, then his clone could also carry 90 percent of his total power, but the number of clones will be limited to 1]

[Persona 2: Perk - Vision Mode has been unlocked]

[Persona 2: Perk - Vision Mode]

[The Vision Mode is a perk that allows the user to copy anything around his surrounding just with a look. But to copy the stats and skills of a hunter, the user will have to maintain his vision with Hunter's eyes for 3 seconds]

"Hm. Quite decent I guess"

Jin smirked as he closed the window tabs which opened before him.

"Delo!... I've got this insane idea, but I think it's a bit reckless. But it'll help me reach my school just in time for the attendance"

[Attendance?]

"Yeah, after all the mess the Diamond Tier Hunter created and how the backup for them had reached the school before that, I am pretty sure that they have an idea that one of the students in the school is possessed by the Demon"

[Seriously? How did you come up with that!!]

"It's a guess"

[Yeah, A guess. So what?]

"Which means they could find out who's missing from the attendance and it'll be a lot easier for them to find it that way because every school now has a strict law that forces the students to attend the school until or unless they have a good reason to not to... and that reason should be informed to the school a day before the student takes the day off... If they don't they'll be suspended for a week!."

"That means it'll bring the attendance rate of students close to 100%. Pretty crazy right? I know"

[Then isn't that a problem??]

"It is, that's why I said I have a plan. Remember, I can't go like this to the school, and if my guess is correct then the students might be assembled at the auditorium"

[Leave your guesses, they are gonna be correct anyway, tell me about your plan]

The Demon Lord said.

"Ah... Do you remember me saying that my HEQ is way too OP?"

[Yeah? What about that?. It is gonna be OP coz it was me who selected it.]

"Haha... Yep, it is... But what found my eye was the last two Personas"

[Oh?]

"I'll leave the last one for the time being and show you the fourth persona"

[Persona 4: Alter Souls]

[Alter Souls allows the user to leave the user's body temporarily or permanently according to his choice and lets the user possess anybody or anything if it's a Class lower than the user or is lacking in power.]

[Persona 4: Perk - Alter Souls Phantom]

[Alter Souls Phantom can only be used if the user has the perk of 'The Shadow Phantom' enabled. With this perk, The user can swap bodies with one of his clones at a time permanently or temporarily and regain everything from his previous body to the new body. Once the user swaps his body with the new body, the user won't receive any damage for 5 seconds and the previous body can be controlled as a clone and can be destroyed at will.]

[Now that's pretty OP alright!!!]

The Demon Lord exclaimed.

"I Know..."

Jin paused.

"That's why I'm gonna do something CRAZYYY"
