Scene – Ten days after the King's Meeting.
In the Shin Kingdom, Agram City, inside Doramai School, Class 1-B students are studying.
Bun:
First of all, let me inform everyone that the International Tournament date has been decided.
It will take place two months from now.
Precious:
That means it'll be almost at the end of the year and the class session.
Bun:
Yes. So Precious, Pretty, Nimi, and Shai—
you four must perform well in the international tournament.
Shai:
Don't worry, sir. We'll win!
Bun:
Now let's continue the lesson.
Today we'll talk about demons and their ranks.
Does anyone know anything about demons?
Random Student:
Yes, they have two horns.
Bun:
And two eyes, two ears, and one nose.
Students:
Hihihihi…
Bun:
Alright. First, let's talk about demon ranks.
The lowest rank is Lesser Demon,
and the most powerful is the True Demon Lord.
Random Student:
Sir, what's the ranking order from weakest to strongest?
Bun:
Lesser Demon → Minor Demon → Greater Demon → Arch Demon →
High Demon → Demon Peer → Demon Duke → Demon King → Demon Lord.
Nimi:
Then what about Primordial Demons?
Bun:
They belong to a separate category.
The very first demons—
the oldest ones—are called Color Demons or Primordial Demons.
Shai:
So who's stronger—Primordial Demons or Demon Lords?
Bun:
Good question.
Many people believe Primordial Demons are stronger
because their title cannot be inherited,
while many beings can become Demon Lords.
But in reality, Demon Lords are stronger,
because that's the final stage of demon evolution.
However, Primordial Demons are still extremely powerful—
even without becoming Demon Lords,
they possess strength comparable to Demon Kings or Demon Lords.
Random Student:
Sir, how many Demon Lords exist in the world?
Bun:
There are ten Demon Lords,
but only four are True Demon Lords.
There are six Demon Kings.
Demon Kings can also be called Demon Lords
because they possess the Demon Lord Seed—the potential to become one.
However, True Demon Lords are far stronger than Demon Kings or normal Demon Lords.
Precious:
So Demon King and Demon Lord are technically the same rank,
but Demon King is used to clarify the category,
while True Demon Lord is a higher distinction showing overwhelming power.
Bun:
Exactly. That's one way to explain it.
Any other questions?
Random Student:
Sir, can anyone become a Demon Lord or Demon King?
Bun:
Yes—and no.
Not everyone can become one,
and it's not necessary for the being to be a demon.
Demon Lord is not a ruler's title—
it's a power rank, similar to guild ranks like A, AA, AAA.
Anyone who possesses the Demon Lord Seed
can be called a Demon King or Demon Lord.
But acquiring the seed is almost impossible,
and fulfilling its conditions is even harder.
That's why there are only four True Demon Lords and six Demon Kings.
Nimi:
Hmm…
Shai:
I see…
Bun:
If there are no more questions,
your homework is to collect detailed information
about today's topic and present it in two days.
Students:
Aaaah!!
Scene – After School
Precious's house, Agram City
Scene – Precious is sitting on the sofa.
Lior arrives, holding money, and hands it to him.
Lior:
Take this and go.
Precious:
Where?
Lior:
It's your turn today to buy supplies—food and stuff.
Precious:
Ah… can you go instead?
Lior:
Just go!
I already did my turn, Shai and Aquira did theirs—
now it's your turn.
Precious:
Yaaah…
Scene – Precious heads to the market.
Precious (thinking):
3 kg potatoes, 1 kg carrots,
2 bottles of salt and sugar,
10 kg regular flour.
That's not too much.
I've got 5 bronze coins and 1 silver coin—should be enough.
Scene – Precious notices a mart with a big banner.
Precious:
Huh? 70% off—today only!
Wow! I'm lucky! Let's go!
Scene – Precious stops.
Precious (thinking):
Where did I get stuck…
Scene – Camera zooms out, revealing a huge crowd line.
Precious (thinking):
Because of the sale, it's insanely crowded today.
I hope the items don't sell out before I reach inside…
Scene – A black car stops in front of the mart.
Random Person:
Hey, that's the mart owner's car.
Precious:
Hmm…?
Scene – A man steps out and opens the back door.
Pintu comes out.
Precious (inner shock):
Uncle Pintu?!
(For more info, read: "I Am the One Who Never Forgot Who I Am – Velunarra")
Pintu:
Looks like it's very crowded today.
Secretary:
Yes sir. Today's discount is massive.
Scene – Pintu starts walking inside,
then notices Precious.
Because Precious is wearing a mask and has a snake around his neck,
Pintu hesitates.
Pintu (thinking):
Is that… Precious?
No, that can't be him.
He should be in Bees Village right now…
Hmm… I'll check.
Scene – Pintu walks toward Precious.
Secretary:
Sir, the entrance is this way—
Scene – Pintu signals her to stay silent and approaches Precious.
Pintu:
Are you… Precious?
Precious:
Hehehe. Long time no see, Uncle Pintu.
Pintu:
Oh! So it really is you!
Why are you standing here?
And when did you come to this city?
Precious:
I came to buy some food and items.
Pintu:
Then why are you waiting here?
This is your uncle's shop—come with me.
Scene – Precious follows him.
Random People:
Does this kid know him?
Wow…
But this kid looks kind of strange…
Secretary (thinking):
Who is this kid?
Pintu:
So when did you come here, and why?
Precious:
I came at the start of the year—
almost ten months ago.
I'm studying at Doramai School.
Lior is with me too.
Pintu:
What?! Doramai School?!
Then—
Precious:
Yes, Ice is in my class as well.
Pintu:
She never told me that you and Lior were here!
Are you staying in the school dormitory?
Precious:
No. Dad has a house here.
Me, Lior, and Shai all live there together.
Pintu:
Shai is here too?!
I didn't know that at all!
That girl never told me anything!
Precious:
Hehehe…
Pintu:
Anyway, buy whatever you need—
this mart belongs to me.
Precious:
I didn't even know you'd become this rich…
I had no idea this was your mart.
Pintu:
Haha.
Our Sharta family has been wealthy in the Shin Kingdom for a long time.
We run businesses in multiple kingdoms—
marts, hotels, restaurants, and more.
I had gone to Bees Village to open a new office,
and after finishing that, I returned.
Precious:
Wow…!
Scene – Later, Precious returns home with supplies.
Precious:
Lior, you know what?
Today I met Uncle Pintu.
Lior:
WHAT?!
