Toth watched as two demons entered his lair. "Why did this cave have three boulders? I get numbers and stuff, but three whole boulder chases? Isn't that a little excessive?"

"Nagayoo!" The smaller figure yelled out, waving their hands frantically."

"That's really all you say, isn't it?"

"Nagayoo." The figure nodded.

"Well, that's fine I guess, it's not the weirdest thing I've ever come across in this school. So, you wear non-detection perfume, right? That's where the smell comes from?"

"Nagayoo?"

"Don't worry about it. I wear the same all the time, just not in excess. I completely understand wanting to stay in the background. Believe me, I know all too well." The boy looked at the center of the lair suspiciously. "So what is it this time, Puzzle, monster?" Looks like it was time to introduce himself.

"I am your final trial." The two froze, slowly looking up.

"Did … did that statue just talk?" The boy asked.

"Nagayoo." The little demon agreed.

"I am the Djin of Knowledge, Toth, created as the final trial to all who pass by the examiners of this Festival." He spoke up.

"Alright, and you defeated every examiner, clearly out of our league from what I've seen at Walter Park." The boy held an arm out as a sort of shield to the little demon. "So, is there any way for us to obtain the seed without the need for physical force?"

"There is only one." He and the boy stared at each other, forces coalescing from sheer wills. "Tell me something interesting."

"... Something interesting?" The boy repeated. "That seems so simple compared to everything I've had to deal with in all honesty."

"Not so much. I am a gatekeeper of all knowledge. There's nothing that I don't know."

"How many fingers am I holding behind my back?"

"I'm not omniscient, don't try to pull that type of Hax, or any riddle bullshit, I'm still cleaning off the stain of the student who tried asking me what came first, the chicken or the egg." Toth pointed to a large red mark on the wall.

"Okay, so students HAVE died at Bablys. I'm so glad my mother won't be seeing this. Even Kalego wouldn't be able to spin anything to sugarcoat it."

"Nagayoo." The little man nodded in agreement.

"So how far would you say your knowledge expands throughout the world?" The boy asked, trying to get a feel. Smart kid at the very least.

"I know all facets of the Netherworld, no trivia I am unaware of."

"So what you're saying is, there's nothing in the Netherworld you aren't aware of? Every story, every joke, every fact in the Netherworld itself is already known to you?"

"Correct, it's actually kind of sad at this point, nothing can entertain or surprise me." Sadly he was under contract, and would look over this festival until the next Demon King came to be.

"What about a story called 'First Love Memories'? Does that ring any bells?"

"First Love Memories!?" Toth leaned forward, rock cracking as the two demons leaned back a bit. "There is a story even I, the knower of all trivia, has not heard of!?"

"I can't believe this is actually going to pay off." The boy muttered to himself with a chuckle. "Yes, it's a tale of suspense, tragedy, and most of all, love. A love that constantly struggles to form as the world forces two young souls to be apart." Now they were getting somewhere, he rocked in his seat from sheer excitement, this sounded like an excellent story! "Nafara, do you mind helping me act it out?"

"Nagayoo!"

"Seriously, why in the nine rings are there three boulders!?" Lied shouted as they ran from the rolling rock. "I get it, a secret dungeon and all that! But why would they go overboard like this for half an object that's so hard to find!?"

"Eh, after nearly dying in Izu's Grandpa's dungeon, I actually find this pretty tame in all honesty. I was actually expecting more."

"Bullshit, you had Asmodeus and Midoriya, the freaking aces of our class!" Lied shouted angrily.

"Ah, Asmodeus was the reason why we almost died." Eiko scowled back at him. "Long story short, he freaked out after getting exposed to some magic crap and almost killed Mamadoriya." He almost killed Mamadoriya!? But that was a cardinal sin for the misfits! Izuku was fine, but not that sweet old lady.

"Why do you keep hanging out with him? Sounds like Asmodeus is a whole pain and a half to deal with."

"Izu doesn't hold any grudges, even if he really should." Eiko clenched her fist for a second before shaking her head. "So, what kind of crazy bullshit does this room have?" Eiko asked, looking around.

"I don't view myself as crazy, but it's a matter of perspective really." The two paused, looking to the source of the loud and gravelly voice.

"The statue is talking." Lied muttered.

"Yep." Eiko nodded like the madwoman she was. "What's the deal here, we need to kill you?"

"That is one of two options. The other is to complete my trial." She spoke, glaring as a shiver went down his spine. "Best me at one hundred games."

The two were silent. A hundred games … "He … hehe … HAHAHAHAHA!" They laughed like maniacs.

"Okay….that's a first. People usually just get annoyed and walk away, or just jump to trying to murder me. You two are freaking me out, little weirdos." The statue shifted awkwardly.

"Oh, you clearly have never met us misfits. Games? That's our bread and butter. You lost the moment you made something as weak ass as one hundred of them. A thousand would have been a better call."

"Hah! I'll do more than beat you! I'll crush you to oblivion! I'm a member of the Calamity Cult, and I will bring you down with the power of CHAOS and Friendship!"

"Then shall we up the wager?" The two paused. "If you lose even a single game … you lose your souls."

"And if we win?" Souls, those were weak shit. They needed higher stakes, like dressing in maid uniforms.

"Then … the stars will align to give you both a single moment with your true love in eternal bliss."

"DEAL!" They both couldn't have jumped at the opportunity fast enough. Lied would finally confirm that Elizabetta liked him romantically!

"Why did I lose that card game to the crazy man?" She grumbled.

"Don't worry Izu! I'll be there for you soon!"

Clara clapped her hands as the last boy went down. "That gives us so many points!" She shouted in joy. "When we get to Dalet(4), I and Izuku-kins will get to play super cool games with bigger stakes!"

"Didn't you fail to seduce him already?" Tea Party Lady was talking stupid. "You were just as worn out as he was, in fact, he was less worn out then you."

"I totally seduced him, he was head over heels for me and got super tired as I was. If anything, it was a draw!" She yelled out. "Our love for each other is equal! I just have to try harder and make my love stronger!"

"Oh, and has he made a move yet? Has he even kissed you?" Tea Party Lady was still talking stupid.

"Why would he need to kiss me? That's just boring stuff they do in movies." Clara stated, causing the girl to blink in confusion.

"Have your Mommy and Daddy ever kissed?"

"Daddy is out traveling, so I've never seen them kiss." She shrugged. "But I know they love each other. He's always sending gifts to us from where he is and he gave me Konchi, Keebow, Sin-Sin, Ran-Ran, and Urara to play with all the time!"

"Oh, so you use objects to cement your love then?" What was the Tea Party Lady talking about, of course she did. Wait no, she used to, then Izuku-kins said that she didn't need to.

"No, Izuku-kins never asks for anything, even when I tried to give him everything." She thought back long and hard about that day when they became friends. "He told me I was the first girl, the first person he's ever been comfortable with. Izuku-kins even told me he was scared that Lady Red Hair was going to kill him or something."

"Is he still scared of her now?" Was he? He was hanging around her, Eistring, and Dragon Lady a lot more now. It was why she had to try harder. Oh no, was she making him happy and less scared, and thus removing his fear of girls!?

"Ah, he-he's friends with so many girls!" She never thought having friends would bite her in the butt like this! "How has making friends turned out so badly so suddenly! Deku kissed Lady Red Hair, and she and Eistring kissed him back! I'm already so behind! I haven't kissed him at all!" Not for lack of trying, but the last time she tried, Aggy-teach got in the way.

"Were they on the cheek or mouth?" The Tea Party Lady asked, less mean looking this time. "If it was just the cheek, then you can still take his first."

"Does the mouth matter?" Clara asked.

"A person's first kiss on the lips is the most special moment of their lives. They'll never, ever, forget it throughout their entire lives." Clara shivered, a super serious memory he'd always keep around! It was resolved, she would kiss Izuku-kins!

"Thanks for the help, and sorry I let it spill there were more chapters. We were there for quite a while."

"Nagayoo." Nafra nodded to the boy. Nafra was afraid of the boy, they didn't run away from Narfra. Narfra wore perfume so Nafra wouldn't be overwhelmed. The boy was an audience magnet from what Nafra recalled of him, so Nafra should've avoided him like a plague.

Still, Nafra didn't expect the boy, the danger-junkie of the school, to ever come across Nafra's path, let alone help Nafra out of a bind when he was trying to take the seed himself. The way he just automatically reached out his hand to help Nafra after the initial twinge of disgust from Nafra's perfume was completely unexpected.

"I guess we should figure out how to split the score between us, no wait, Eiko and Lied are with me too, can't forget about them. Well if we're splitting it evenly between the three of you, that'll give you thirty-three thousand each and leave me with one thousand. I think that sounds fair enough."

"Nagayoo?" Nafra asked, it didn't seem right after all. Here he was risking himself for the seed and helping Nafra, yet went ahead and gave it over to others. And now he was giving points to Nafra. "Nagayoo." Nafra shook Nafra's head.

"What, but how will you win with zero points?" He asked Nafra.

"Nagayoo." Nafra made a large zero with Nafra's arms, nodding. Nafra was fine with zero points, Narfra would rank up for helping anyway.

"Okay, only if you're sure about it. Tell me if you change your mind though." Nafra thought this boy was confusing. The boy wasn't a danger-junkie so much as a walking puzzle. No other demon has ever acted like this boy, no demon Nafra's ever come across at the very least. "I never know what to expect from this place. Everything just keeps taking me by surprise."

"Nagayoo?"

"I guess that's what I get for being me … sometimes I think it would be better being here, you know." He spoke, confusing Nafra. "I just have to roll with it I guess, I'm behind so I need to improve." The boy said as they started hopping across pillars. "I can't do magic like how everyone else can, everyone either expects me to either let them walk over me or explode in some form, and I'm constantly fearing for my life almost every morning, but at least at Bablys I have the chance to actually do something about it."

"Nagayoo." Nafra nodded, even though Nafra didn't fully get it. Nafra needed to stay hidden at all times, no one needed to know who truly Nafra is, and Nafra was absolutely fine with that.

"I'd probably do what you did and double down on the perfume just to keep everyone away at the beginning of the year, but I'm tired of being lonely." Ah, Nafra could understand that. Not many could handle solitude like Nafra could. "I'd just wish I could be a de..just like everyone else. Maybe then I wouldn't have to deal with anyone like…" He looked at the room, suddenly looking frightened at something. "...Kachan?"

"Nagayoo?" Nafra looked to where the boy was staring, but no one was there.

"What … what are you doing here?!" The boy shook in fear, in absolute terror. "Th-this shouldn't be possible! You can't be here! You can't!"

"Nagayo!" Nafra tried shaking him out of it, but nothing was working. What was going on?!

"You can't be here! You can't!" Oh those words sounded absolutely delightful, it was always so fascinating watching one sided horror, it was a guessing game for Ocho on what was wrong with someone. "You shouldn't have found me! You can't, why do you keep finding me!? Why do you keep coming back!?"

Orobas was watching on looking very neutral, which was disappointing. All that effort he put into riling up his hatred for the misfits. He half expected him to be cackling maniacally over their despair. Ah, this had to be expected, he guessed, not everyone could properly return to origin in this day and age.

"I'm not Deku anymore! You can't bring it back! They don't mean it as an insult, it's not my fault! I'm not weak, I'm not useless, I'm not!" The boy's eyes widened as a crack was heard, the edge they were up against gave way. "Kachan, save …" Those eyes, oh those delicious eyes, lost so much hope. Ocho couldn't hold himself back at this rate, was this what it would have been like for Kiriwo? Ha, the loser was missing this. "Please!" The boy let out one last desperate cry before falling into the pit.

"Nagayo!" The little hooded thing hanging around Kiriwo's play thing shouted out, before finally noticing Orobas. "Nagayo!" It looked like it was punching Orobas, but with the short stature it looked more like light pats on the back.

"Aren't you going to traumatize this one too?" Two shows of despair in one day? Boy that would be a treat.

"No. My only targets are the misfits. Anyone else doesn't matter." Very cold and empty. Why couldn't he revel in the despair just a little? Crack a smile at the boy's crying. Well at the very least their goal was rock steady. "My magic was stronger in this attack. So even if he survives the fall, he'll be suffering through trauma the rest of the festival. He's out of the competition."

"Great job, Orobas-san! You did well, making him fall like that!"

"Falling was his mistake." Oroboras noticed the little demon glaring at him. "I'm simply going after my goals, I'm not in the wrong." Woops, slipping, time for a little more motivation.

"You're not in the wrong, it was his fault that he fell over, not yours. If he didn't have issues your magic wouldn't even work on him after all. You're right." The little guy was glaring at him now, an annoying little pest. However, they had information to gather, kicking over a recorder and letting it fall down to collect whatever it heard, he had to keep Oroboras in check after all. He could come back for it later.
