School X Work

Chapter One

Kuoh Academy, a prominent Japanese school, was once an all-girls institution until it was abruptly changed to co-ed in the last few years. It is divided into many divisions for all grades, including high school and college, with the student council at the apex of the high school. But not everything is as it appears. What appears to be a typical high school boy experiencing burnout is actually a high school male being drained from additional responsibilities as a member of the student council!

Oh, who's also a devil.

X-X-X

After going through the 50th document of who knows what, the teenager known as Saji Genshirou wanted to dig his eyes out instead of reading another.

The student council of the Kouh Academy was busy poring over documents after school on a typical afternoon.

One of their newest members had a problem with this.

A white-haired girl with a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt and red skirt, as per this school's uniform, approached him with a curious expression, carrying a tiny stack of papers.

"Are you okay, Saji?" After hearing the teenager whisper something beneath his breath, his companion devil Momo Hanakai asks.

The high schooler responded right away, snapping out of his slump. "Oh no, I'm fine~no complaining here!" With a strained smile, he responded rather enthusiastically.

The fellow second year looked at him with a blank stare and proceeded. "Well, if that's the case, I'll need you to go over these documents." She placed the sheets of paper in front of him, ignoring the fact that his eyes widened and twitched.

It was then that the 17-year old male eyes glazed over, and he began muttering again.

"What was that?" As if to listen to the distressed man, the girl leaned forward and placed her hand on her ear facing him.

He continues to murmur, albeit a little louder this time.

She drew in a little closer. "Still can't hear that."

"I SAID I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Saji suddenly let out a frustrated scream and raised his hands.

Momo casually dodges his flailing hands with ease, her demeanor unfazed as though this was not the first time this has happened to him.

The other two people in the room were also alerted by the shout, and they had differing reactions. The slightly tall one with short blue hair and eyes just paused slowly and gave the yeller a bored annoyance glance. While the one with disheveled red copper hair in twin tails and yellow eyes leapt from her job as if expecting an attacker, nothing happened and she merely hesitated and blink owlishly. Both of them had on the uniform Momo did.

Momo could only sigh at the whining of the blond in the white long sleeve and black pants.

"What did you expect, Genshirou? We're the student council." With a pained expression on her face and her palm on her brow, the girl replied.

To this the blonde sputter, attempting to answer.

"I-I mean, we're devils, though..." Was the only argument the lone boy had.

Yes, everyone in this room is a devil, albeit resurrected. Fortunately, no one was turned against their will. They were all reborn as evil chess pieces, each symbolizing a different role.

" Despite what I thought there is really no flashy part to it there's just a glow and bam you get wings magic and all that. Unless you are in tune with magic you don't expect anything from this unassuming group. Well beside Kaichou." The blonde regarded.
