"Don't you want to have... immense power?"
나지수
"What is that...?"
"I'll help you get it"
Najisu made a face of disbelief at the words of the person who declared himself Hades.
"Instead, just grant me one favor."
나지수
" ..... "
나지수
"That power... how great is it?"
Jisoo cautiously asked a question to the voice resonating through the air.
" god. "
"Or a power greater than that."
나지수
"But... there's no way that's possible...!"
"Have you ever heard a story like this?"
Najisu gulped and swallowed dry saliva.
나지수
"What... are you talking about?"
"In this world, there are stones of balance for each faction."
"Heaven, the underworld, and the earthly realm."
"There is a 'stone of balance' that keeps everyone in balance."
"But there is one hidden secret here."
"Except for the heavens, the underworld, and the earthly realm,"
"At the center of those three"
"There is another stone of balance"
나지수
" ....What the heck! That's nonsense!"
"That's why I said it was a secret."
"Do you know where the stone that balances the center of those three is?"
Jisoo shook her head into the air at the voice's question.
"Lowell Edith."
나지수
" ....yes? "
"To the school you entered"
"The center of the stone of balance,"
"There is a fourth hidden stone."
승철
"What is it?"
정한
" what? "
승철
"It's true that Mirachi was canceled just like Jihoon said."
승철
"What is hiding?"
지수
"You really haven't heard anything from the student affairs office?"
승철
" huh.... "
여주
"What is it, really? I'm curious."
원우
"I think it's the first time I've seen Jihoon with such a bad expression."
원우
"And then suddenly, class stopped coming..."
석민
"There's something! Absolutely!"
While everyone was gathered together and chatting, Seung-kwan approached from afar, looking tired.
한솔
"Seungkwan!"
승관
" ah.... "
Seung-kwan is surprised to find the children, not knowing that they were there.
찬
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you coming to class?"
준휘
"Boo Seung-kwan didn't show up either?! "
한솔
"Where have you been?"
Seungkwan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
승관
"That's... I went somewhere for a bit."
여주
"What? Where have you been?"
여주
"Didn't everyone tell you not to go out except for school and the dorms?"
Seungcheol, who was thinking about something for a moment, grabbed Seungkwan.
승철
"Have you been to the underworld?"
승관
" yes...?! "
Everyone's eyes filled with confidence at Seung-kwan's extremely surprised reaction.
승관
"What... that's ridiculous! You went to the underworld and came back!"
승철
"Don't make excuses"
승철
"What the heck... is going on?"
승관
" ...... "
Seungkwan finally noticed the kids looking at him with eyes of confidence.
승관
"I really... I'll get in trouble if I say it.....ㅠ"
.
..
준휘
"What~?! "
승철
"The balance stone that maintains the underworld has disappeared?"
승관
"Yes...ㅠㅠ"
정한
"Now I understand the Devil Student Council's actions."
정한
"You tried to hide it and handle it secretly."
명호
"Then what did you do in the underworld?"
승관
"Oh, that's...."
승관
"I've been looking for a stone... That's really all there is to it..."
Seungkwan finished saying that with an expression that looked almost like he was on the verge of tears.
Hansol hugged Seung-gwan and patted him on the back.
원우
" ....you've worked hard"
찬
"So, did Jihoon go too...?"
Seung-kwan, who was quietly sobbing while hugging Han-sol's side, said a word.
승관
" ....Brother hasn't come yet.....?"
승철
" .....what? "
Everyone froze in surprise at Seung-kwan's words.
지훈
"I finally told you everything."
I heard Jihoon's voice from behind me.
민규
"What! You're here!"
석민
"Oh my gosh... I really don't know what happened...ㅠㅠ"
원우
"I didn't see Kwon Soon-young, but she's over there."
지훈
"I'll tell you since you seem to know everything."
Jihoon approached everyone and continued speaking with a serious expression.
지훈
"This story shouldn't be told outside of us."
지훈
"If it gets any bigger, it'll be a headache."
석민
"How is the underworld now?"
After Jihoon finished speaking, Seokmin asked a question.
지훈
"The demons are free"
What!? Everyone looked at Jihoon with surprised expressions.
It was an unbelievable situation.
민규
"The demons are released...!"
승철
"Then what is the situation in the underworld right now..."
지훈
"It's a mess."
지훈
"Because the demons came into the demon village and there was chaos."
지훈
"Most demons subdue the beasts"
지훈
"We came here looking for a stone, for some reason we don't even know."
명호
"It must have been hard..."
지훈
"Only the devils in the student council knew about this."
지훈
"My sister Iran, Seungkwan and I."
Jihoon continued speaking with a bitter smile.
지훈
"Out of all those student council members, there are only three devils."
지훈
"I guess prejudice still remains."
After Ji-hoon finished speaking, everyone had a sad expression on their faces.
The student council of this school, where four races come together,
Each grade has two class presidents and two vice presidents, and one of those class presidents becomes the head of each grade.
From first grade to the graduating class of eighth grade.
Class 5, Grade 1, Class 3, Grade 2... Even if you just count them like this, there are over 40 people.
The story is that among them, there are only three student council members who are of the devil race.
여주
"Then you haven't found it yet?"
지훈
" ....... "
여주
"If that's not the reason you came in so listless, then what else could it be?"
Ji-hoon nodded in agreement with Yeo-ju's words.
지훈
"That's right. I can't see where it disappeared to."
Ji-hoon stops talking and rubs his eyes, looking tired.
승철
" ....You must be very tired, so go and rest, both of you."
The two nodded at Seungcheol's words and moved forward.
Hansol followed behind Seung-gwan.
승철
"Soonyoung, let's talk."
순영
" ..... "
Seungcheol grabbed Soonyoung's wrist as she tried to follow Jihoon.
