The skies above Eungwang High lay the clouds that the Dragon King’s shamans summoned.

Two boys with the same face, Pungbaek and Usa, sat on the clouds and performed a rainmaking ritual.

Pungbaek held up a mirror that made the sound of the wind every time an object was reflected, and Usa held a drum that spread rain with each tap.

A wide and deep white bowl sat between Pungbaek and Usa.

Each time the two boys prayed to the mirror and wielded the drumstick, snowflakes poured over the bowl, and the snow that contained their energy piled up and overflowed, falling down from the clouds.

However, the snow that fell did not reach Eungwang High.

This was because of the Cintamani’s miracle.

“The Dragon of Amusement is still holding up?”

“Yeah, I guess the bears couldn’t get Yong Jegun.”

“But Beonmin was there this time! Incompetent. If I knew this was going to happen, I would’ve asked them to put the crazy bear in there!”

“Crazy bears don’t listen to orders. They won’t be able to set up the Jin as they’re told.”

Usa nodded at Pungbaek’s answer.

As Pungbaek said, the crazy bears among the Eight Real Bears had strong power, but words didn’t work well with them.

It will be difficult for the insane to hide their appearance and do delicate work throughout Eungwang High.

“Once all the Jin are installed, we can control the earth power that flows throughout their territory. If that happens, we’d have temporary control.”

“Then we can use earth power to erase this troublesome boundary and miracle!”

Usa responded brightly.

There were two reasons why they had men install Jin all over Eungwang High.

First, to prevent the Tiger Clan from drawing earth power.

Second, to use earth power to completely break the 12-point alliance’s boundary.

The boundary was temporarily broken, but it still hindered their plans.

The reason why so many people of royal lineage were able to break into Eungwang High at the same time was because of the successful surprise attack imposed by the head of the Cow Clan on the boundary.

At this point, it’s impossible to send in another royal lineage because the head of the Cow Clan is away from the boundary and is on a mission inside Eungwang High.

In addition, the boundary is being used to lock up the students, but it’s blocking the energy poison from outside.

The goal was then to destroy the boundary.

This will cause the Tiger Clan to completely lose trust in the alliance and will not think about repairing or renewing the boundary.

However, over time, the flow of earth power did not change.

“…It’s coming a little too late. Is it because all the earth power is in your direction?”

“No, I’m not getting any.”

Pungbaek and Usa, who put all their energy into making it snow, were not aware of it.

Inside the Silver Hall, Cheon Dongha observed the entire Eungwang High and saw through all their movements.

No matter how much they hid and acted, they couldn’t avoid Cheon Dongha’s eyes.

He was asked by Jo Euishin and Eunho to help before Christmas.

Before the people of royal lineage invaded, Cheon Dongha was already looking through the entire school.

This was for him to internalize how the school looked like so that he’d notice any abnormality right away.

In other words, it was like a huge game of ‘find the difference’ inside Eungwang High.

Considering the cast scale of the school, his task was incredibly difficult.

Nonetheless, Cheon Dongha accomplished it.

Under his direction, the people of royal lineage who were going to plant Jin were subjugated by the Tiger Clan.

Pungbaek and Usa vaguely felt that there was a mistake in their work, but they were still relaxed.

Their feet were overflowing with sacrificial candidates, and they could attack their opponents in a safe position without being attacked.

“Let’s spray more snow. If it gets thicker and piles up, the Cintamani’s miracle will collapse.”

“Yeah, everyone would be useless once they’re hit by snow. And there’s a mountain of sacrifices below us.”

“That’s right, if they get hit by the snow and killed by enemies, it will be easier to set the stage.”

Pungbaek and Usa started the ritual again and snow overflowed from the white bowl.

The white bowl that was lowered was filled with letters and pictures carved by that person.

With every stroke, death would pile up.

The snow that they sprayed was already bad, but with the power of the bowl added, the snow became more toxic to the skin.

When Pungbaek and Usa were pouring snow over Cintamani’s miracle…

“…!”

“Ah!”

The two suddenly stopped moving and raised their heads as if they had been struck by lightning.

The two stopped the ritual and scrambled to roll up the sleeves of their clothes.

Their arms were engraved deeply with scars that had not been there before.

It was a mark that someone made shallowly with a sword.

A good and clear air crept up.

The corrupt beings Pungbaek and Usa of today could not stand it.

“Someone is doing a purification ritual!”

“It must be close to the sky. Look for it!”

Pungbaek used the mirror to illuminate the ground.

The place where he spotlighted was Mt. Cheonik, the place in Eungwang High closest to the sky.

As Pungbaek and Usa, who once did rituals in this land, identified the clear energy came from the Cheondansu.

“Someone is in front of the Cheondansu!”

Someone was performing a sword dance in front of the sacred tree.

He held a sword in one hand and a fan in the other.

His face was hard to see, but the mirror vaguely reflected his mouth.

As if he had seen through the two boys in the cloud, the man had the corners of his mouth raised as he smiled suspiciously while swinging his sword wide.

Fwiik!

“Geuhk…!”

The mirror that Pungbaek held cracked.

If the mirror hadn’t blocked the clear energy that the man blew with his sword, there would’ve been a scar left on his skin again.

It was only then that Pungbaek realized what was going on.

“A ritual. That man is going to stop the snow by using a ritual against us!”

“Who the hell? Baekho was already sealed by God’s hatred. Who dares to use a ritual against us!”

“That sword, I think it belongs to Baekho but… I can’t see it well! That man’s energy waves are blocking it!”

Usa was right that there was no one in the Tiger Clan who could use a ritual against them.

Jukho could be a candidate, but he wasn’t good at it and couldn’t have such strength outside the bamboo forest.

Pungbaek and Usa looked through the cracked mirror to find out the identity of the person performing the ritual.

However, five colors concealed his appearance, and the head visible through his collar was covered by a crow mask.

“Who the hell is he…?”

Beyond the mirror, the man performing the ritual in front of the Cheondansu was Jo Euishin.

The five colors were from Yoon Yeorang’s light skill, the one born to be the Dragon King’s most powerful shaman.

Pungbaek, who was manipulating the mirror, then suggested something.

“Let’s borrow his power!”

“Yeah!”

Pungbaek lifted the mirror and placed it in a bowl full of snow before releasing energy waves.

Then, the remaining snow in the bowl and the inscriptions on it were sucked into the mirror little by little.

Shake…

The broken mirror was fixed as if it had never cracked, and the person over the mirror began to be clearly visible.

He was still covered by the light skill, but to some extent, he became clearly visible.

Pungbaek clearly saw Jo Euishin’s silhouette as he wielded the fan and the sword.

“He’s not of the Tiger Clan. None of the Tiger Clan has black energy waves and looks that young.”

“A young man not from the Tiger Clan? Maybe he’s a student who has a strong ritual skill!”

“I can’t believe a student has this power… Wait, there was a student from Eungwang High that that person was wary of. That student had black energy waves.”

“Then he must be that student! A royal lineage other than the Tiger Clan can’t perform a sword dance in front of the Cheondansu without fear!”

Pungbaek and Usa concluded that the one performing the sword dance wasn’t a tiger.

No matter how urgent the situation was, wielding a sword in the center of the Tiger Clan’s territory was tantamount to tarnishing the face of the clan.

Any royal lineage knew that and wouldn’t dare do it.

They judged that a student who was ignorant of that fact was doing the ritual.

“The ritual skill makes a little sense, but what about his battle skill? Can he compete with us?”

Jwiiik!

When Usa swung his hand at the ground, the clouds split and two and he could see below.

He seemed to intend to go down himself and knock Jo Euishin down.

Pungbaek also judged that it was the best way to block the student, but he decided to stop him from now.

“No, this could be a trap. Maybe Jeokho’s hiding from a fog nearby.”

Usa stopped at Pungbaek’s words.

They could easily deal with a few tigers, but they were in Tiger Clan’s territory.

They also asked them to refrain from appearing in person because of uncertainties.

One of the variables was Jeokho who could hide his appearance.

Jeokho could be hiding himself and other tigers to launch a surprise attack.

Pungbaek shone the mirror around Cheondansu.

“Let’s check first if there are any tigers around. But not too late. Let’s do it while he’s still alone. We have a strong power too anyway.”

Pungbaek, who was staring at Jo Euishin, pointed to the source of power that created the clouds.

The source was a pearl.

The five-colored pearl was provided for help by the Dragon King’s shamans.

Carefully holding the five-colored pearl in his hand, Pungbaek spoke again.

“If we use the mirror with the shamans’ pearls, we’ll be able to see through Jeokho’s fog. Let’s move cautiously.”

Pungbaek reflected Jo Euishin’s surroundings with the mirror.

He looked more than a hundred steps around Jo Euishin’s area, but he saw no one around.

Even if he looked at the entire Mt. Cheonik, there were no tigers around.

Meanwhile, Jo Euishin’s sword and fan left raw scratches on their bodies, but the two endured the pain and persistently looked around.

“There are no tigers around. I guess this foolish student came alone.”

At Pungbaek’s words, Usa parted the clouds wide.

Pungbaek and Usa prepared to go down with murderous intent.

“Let’s get rid of that kid who dares stop our snow.”

Their murderous intent headed toward Jo Euishin who was restlessly and defenselessly doing the sword dance.
