Description: Volume 14 of the educational comic series Naeil-eun Silheomwang, 'The Geology Showdown.' Readers can learn the vivid scientific principles hidden within the Earth's geological layers. The story unfolds through the personality-packed members of the Saebyeok Elementary Experiment Club, covering topics such as the relationship between organic and inorganic matter, the connection between rocks and minerals, how sedimentary layers form, the process of fossil formation through mold and cast experiments, and experiments in growing metal crystals. Woo-ju, who has been carefully observing the practice sessions of rival schools' experiment clubs, discovers something he has in common with Yu-jin, a mistake-prone student from the Gifted Education Center. Yu-jin, who has always seemed downhearted, slowly begins to regain his confidence through his conversations with Woo-ju, and gets a chance to show his true abilities in the second round of the competition. Meanwhile, Cho-rong tries once again to confess her feelings to Woo-ju, but the timing keeps slipping away, and as the third round approaches, small cracks begin to form within the Saebyeok Experiment Club that no one expected...
