Human Boy of a Demon Grandfather and Mother!

A figure is seen walking on the path through a creepy dead tree-like forest going straight for a large mansion up ahead, she looks up at the sky noticing a flying figure is entering the mansion along with something inside a gold magic sphere.

“Lord Sullivan must’ve been out for something, probably whatever he called me to come here for.” The short woman said as she walks up to the gate of the mansion as the moonlight shows her appearance.

She is a very short young demon woman with long, twin-tailed magenta hair and wears a short sleeved frilled dress with striped stockings and bow-tied shoes. Her teeth are jail bar shape and has a black toothpick hanging from her mouth.

This woman is known as the Undead Archer of the Barbatos Clan, Barbatos Bachiko.

Bachiko pressed the doorbell of the gate and it opens meaning she has been expected to come as she walks into the mansion meeting a male figure waiting for her in the hallway.

“Greetings, Barbatos Bachiko. Lord Sullivan is in the room down this hallway.” Opera pointed at the room at the end of the hallway.

Opera has red hair with a straight cut fringe and a short plait. They have a pair of red, cat-like hairs protruding from their hair, in addition to the second, elf-like pointed ears they possess. They have red eyes, small thick black eyebrows and a pale complexion. They also have a black, cat-like tail. They wear a red vest over a white shirt and a striped red and white tie, and navy dress pants.

“Hey Opera, any idea why Lord Sullivan has summoned me to his home. Not that I mind coming over to meet one of the Three Great Demons I admired and look up to.” Bachiko giggled a little.

“You will have to see the reason for yourself in that room.” Opera said gesture to the door.

“Okay then, could I also have some tea if you don’t mind?” Bachiko asked.

“Certainly, Lady Bachiko.” Opera nodded before walking away.

“Huh, did they just call me “Lady”?” Bachiko wondered but decided to just go to the room and knock on the door.

“Lord Sullivan, it’s me, Bachiko.” Bachiko called out.

Then the door open revealing the mighty and respectful demon she looks up standing there.

“Ah! Bachiko, I’m so happy you’re here!” Sullivan cheered.

Sullivan is a very tall and imposing figure. He is bald, save for two large yellow horns on the side of his head. He has pointed ears, a large nose, and a white handlebar mustache. A pair of glasses sits at the top of his nose. His fingernails are long and are painted a dark purple. He wears a dark purple suit with long coattails and a white-furred collar with what appears to be the skull of a large bird in place of a tie.

“Come in, come in, you’re about to see a special surprise I have for the both of us!” Sullivan cheerfully pushed Bachiko into the room.

“Surprise?” Bachiko confused and look ahead seeing a young man on a chair, with a baby chandelier above him.

This boy has blue spiky hair and a cowlick. He has Egyptian blue eyes, and his face seems impeachable.

“Huh, who’s the kid?” Bachiko asked.

“Bachiko, I want you to meet Iruma Suzuki. A human boy I have picked up from the human world.” Sullivan revealed.

“Wait, human? So, that is a real human right there?!” Bachiko gasped.

“Y-Yeah, I’m human… Are you going to eat me?” Iruma asked feeling really scared right now.

“Wait, why would I want to eat a kid. That’s just gross.” Bachiko disgusted of how this kid thinks she’s going to eat him.

“I’m going to adopt him as my grandson.” Sullivan mentioned shocking Bachiko and Iruma.

“You see, I’ve been alone here all this time. It’s always been my dream to have a grandchild to spoil.” Sullivan explained while hugging himself.

“Grandchild?” Iruma puzzled.

“Levi and Belial bragging about their grandkids make me so jealous. I’ll buy you anything you want and spoil you rotten, so please, please say you’ll be my grandson!” Sullivan begged crying a little.

“But you just told me I was sold to you…” Iruma mentioned.

“H-Hold on a minute, Lord Sullivan! Just when exactly did you decided to adopt a human as your grandchild and what does this have to do with me?” Bachiko asked, feeling confused in this situation.

“Oh, that’s because I decided that you’re going to be Iruma’s new mother!” Sullivan revealed.

“What, her?!” Iruma shocked.

“Me, a mother! B-B-B-But I can’t I’ve never been a mother before and what makes you think that I even want kids?!” Bachiko freaked out.

“Because I have complete faith that you would make an excellent mother, but if you and Iruma don’t want to then I’ll respect your wishes.” Sullivan sobbed.

“(This is crazy, I’ve never seen Lord Sullivan like this and he’s asking me to be a mother to this human brat of all things.)” Bachiko thought confused of what to do next as she looks at Iruma probably having trouble with his thoughts too.

“(What should I do? For my entire life, I never said no!)” Iruma thought.

Indeed, Iruma Suzuki is a complete and total pushover. Whenever he’s asked to do something, and even when he isn’t asked at all, even in ridiculous situations. He will consent to anything and can’t say no, he is such a pushover even he finds himself pathetic.

Iruma remember the times when people would ask him to do something like cleaning the whole front deck of a boat by himself, helping an old lady crossing a street while carrying a large and heavy bag, even times when he was being chased by dangerous black suited men. Iruma could never say no to those kinds of request.

“(Okay, looks like the kid might be willing to refuse this. I mean, I always enjoy seeing Lord Sullivan’s smiling face, but it’s not like I’m up for this whole parenting thing.)” Bachiko thought.

“(It’s decided, as soon as the kid turns Lord Sullivan down, I’ll be gentle to turn down his offer too.)” Bachiko thought decided on this.

“(I mean most people would say no to this insanity, wouldn’t they?)” Iruma thought wondered if people would find themselves in a situation like this.

“(Well, it’s okay to turn him down.)” Iruma thought as Sullivan said he’ll respect his wishes to say no.

However, just as Iruma was about to answer no to Sullivan and Bachiko is preparing herself to do the same, Sullivan leaned closer to Iruma.

“That said… That’s exactly why I’m pushing you so hard! Come on, I’m literally begging right now! You’d help fulfill the dying wish of an old man! PLEASE!” Sullivan begged desperately making Iruma stun.

Words Iruma stands no chance against. Number 1, Please. Number 2, Help. And Number 3, I beg of you.

And before long, Iruma press the official stamp on the adoption paper making him the grandson of the Demon Sullivan.

“What the…?” Bachiko shocked.

“Now, it’s your turn! I’ve always believed that your mighty strength and amazing archery skills can help raise Iruma to have a great life, so please say you’ll be his mother!” Sullivan stared at Bachiko with the innocent and pleading face.

If it was any other demon making a request like that then Bachiko would have no problem saying no to, but since this demon is Sullivan one of the Three Greats then that’s a different story. With no other choice, Bachiko also pressed her stomp on the paper making herself now a mother of Iruma.

“I take it you can’t say no to this guy, huh?” Iruma asked.

“Don’t start with me…” Bachiko grunted.

“Alright, now that that’s been settle.” Sullivan snapped his finger and the room transformed into a bedroom for Iruma.

“Wait a sec, what is all this?” Iruma asked as he looks around the room.

“You’re my first grandchild. Your food, clothing, shelter, and…” Sullivan used his magic again to make a new set of clothes appeared on Iruma.

“What is this?” Iruma asked surprise.

Iruma is now wearing an Olympic blue-colored suit with a stripe of white around the collar on the sleeves, a red demon-eyed shaped bow, and the same colored pants.

“Your education, you look so perfect and adorable!” Sullivan complimented.

“Wait, I recognize that uniform. You’re going to enroll him in that school!” Bachiko realized.

“That’s right, he’s going to the best demon school there is!” Sullivan said while clapping his hands joyfully.

“A demon school, is that even a thing?” Iruma asked.

“Of course, we demon have school. Did you think we’re mindless monsters or something?” Bachiko asked back with a raise eyebrow.

“And Lord Sullivan, wasn’t this kid already in school or something back in the human world?” Bachiko asked.

“Oh no, you see, Iruma’s low-life and garbage parents force Iruma to start working at very young age and never got to go to school missing out his childhood. And they even willingly sold his soul to me.” Sullivan explained.

“WHAT?! What kind of parents would do that to their own kid, that’s the stupidest and lowest thing I have ever heard!” Bachiko angered as she summoned her demonic bow and shot an arrow at the ceiling.

“Whoa, that was intense!” Iruma gasped.

“Fear not, Iruma won’t have to suffer now that he has us in his life. All the paperwork has been taken care of, I am his grandpa, remember?” Sullivan stated.

“My grandpa…” Iruma surprised.

“OOOH! I love how that sounds when you say it! On your first day, we have to take a picture.” Sullivan suggested.

“Hold on, Lord Sullivan, this is happening too fast.” Bachiko exclaimed.

“There’s never been a human being enroll in this school, but you won’t be eaten as long they don’t find out what you are.” Sullivan reassured.

“If they find out, they’ll eat me!” Iruma gasped in fear then Sullivan splashed him with a liquid fragrant.

“Hey, what did you just splash him with?” Bachiko asked.

“It’s a special fragrant that will cover up your son’s human scent, so you two don’t have to worry.” Sullivan answered.

“Okay, calling him “My” son is going to take some time getting use to.” Bachiko said almost felt her heart skipped a beat.

“You know, I actually rather…” Iruma tried to say something yet couldn’t bring the words out from mouth.

“I’m so relief that you’re such a delightful kid, Iruma, because if you have decline… I would have no choice but to eat you for dinner tonight.” Sullivan said in a demonic tone at the last part of the sentence making Iruma gasp.

“He’s joking. I’m sure Lord Sullivan is joking. I hope…” Bachiki eased up on Iruma’s fear.

“Henceforth, this room is yours, Iruma.” Sullivan declared.

“Huh, it is?” Iruma asked surprise.

“Yep, and Bachiko, I have already got all of your things from your old house as to now on, you’ll be living in this mansion to help raise and nurture your new son.” Sullivan announced.

“Wait, seriously!” Bachiko gasped.

“That’s right, we’re all going to be one big happy family! I’ll leave you two alone for a while but be sure to get Iruma in bed so he can get plenty of sleep and get up early tomorrow.” Sullivan said leaving the room.

Sullivan hum happily walking through the hallway heading to his room, very happy that he finally got his first grandchild and even got Iruma a new mother to love to boot.

“You take your whims much too far.” Opera said.

“Opera.” Sullivan surprised to see his servant here.

“You could have adopted any or all of the demons you wanted, why would you adopt a human as your grandson and dragging Lady Bachiko into this. What could you possible be scheming?” Opera wondered.

“Nothing. You’ll understand someday, Opera.” Sullivan said before walking away and Opera just sigh knowing how silly his master can be these days.

Meanwhile, Iruma and Bachiko are still in the room together feeling the awkward air surrounding them as neither know what to do say to each other as they are totally strangers until moments ago, Bachiko did a fake cough trying to think of something to say until Iruma spoke the silent.

“So, this is my very own room?” Iruma asked.

“Yeah, it would seem so. I take it your parents never gave you something like this.” Bachiko guessed.

“Yeah, my whole life has just been Hell, really.” Iruma said.

“Well, now you won’t have to worry about those idiot adults anymore because you have Lord Sullivan to look after you and m-m… and me as well.” Bachiko said nervously as her cheeks blush a bit.

“It’s like everything that is happening right now is like a dream, a bizarre dream.” Iruma expressed how he feels right now.

“Well, you might as well get some sleep now because you’re first day in school will be the opening ceremony. Now hurry up and get change into your pajama.” Bachiko ordered.

“Okay!” Iruma said and immediately changed his clothes into his new purple pajama.

“Wow, you change fast.” Bachiko impressed.

Soon, Iruma got onto his new large bed and Bachiko help pull up the bed sheet and cover over his body except for the head.

“You all comfy now, the bed isn’t too hard or anything?” Bachiko asked.

“Yeah, it’s really soft and feels wonderful.” Iruma nodded.

“Good, now if you have problems with anything just be sure to let either Lord Sullivan, Opera the servant, or me know. Got it?” Bachiko said.

“Okay, so huh… G-Goodnight, mom.” Iruma said a little stutter.

“Mom. Mom. Mom.” The word repeated in Bachiko’s head causing her heart to beat a little faster than normal and her face blushing a bit.

“R-Right, you have a goodnight sleep.” Bachiko waved goodbye and exit Iruma’s room.

Bachiko is seen clutching onto her chest and panting like she had just run through a marathon for a full day.

“What… What in the actual Netherworld is going on with me?” Bachiko asked herself.

The feeling Bachiko is having right now is new to her as she has just experienced the faint love of being a mother to her son even though she has just become one in one night.

“Lady Bachiko, shall I escort you to your new living corner?” Opera offered.

“Sure, thanks, Opera.” Bachiko accepted the offer as Bachiko thinks she’ll need some sleep to calm herself down.

(Morning)

Bachiko is seen sleeping on her bed and raising up from the sunlight shining through her bedroom window as she let out a yawn.

“Man, I had the weirdest dream. Lord Sullivan called me over to his mansion and suddenly telling me that I’m now the adopted mother to a human boy which he also made him his grandson.” Bachiko said.

“Lady Bachiko, good morning.” Opera greeted.

“Morning, Opera.” Bachiko greeted before letting out another yawn, and her eyes widen of realization.

“Wait, that was all real?!” Bachiko gasped.

“Come, Master Iruma has woken up as well.” Opera said before walking away.

“So, it really happened… I’m a mom…” Bachiko said as her colors went pale.

(After Breakfast)

“Oh joy, my grandson’s first day of school, picture time! Iruma, stand right next to that.” Sullivan pointed at the sign.

“Huh, what is this thing?” Iruma wondered.

“That’s right, you can’t ready demon language even though you can understand what we’re saying right now.” Bachiko remembered the Lord Sullivan casted a spell on Iruma to understand the demon tongue.

“Here, I can help you with that.” Bachiko casted a spell on Iruma to read demon language now.

“Entrance Ceremony. Whoa, I can read it now! So, you can do magic too, Bac-I mean, mom!” Iruma surprised.

“Of course, all demon can use magic. It just depends on how you use it and takes a little imagination to do it.” Bachiko stated.

“Oh goody, mother and son are already having a moment!” Sullivan squealed.

Opera took the picture of Iruma, Bachiko, and Sullivan together standing next to the Entrance Ceremony sign together.

“I’m so happy! I’m grandson’s first day of school, his first little band!” Sullivan hopped around in joy.

“Listen up, Iruma. Because you’re my son now, your new family name shall be mine, the Barbatos.” Bachiko mentioned.

“Oh, okay, Iruma Barbatos.” Iruma nodded and look to Opera.

“Excuse me, you’re Opera, is that right or… about this school?” Iruma wanted to know what this school he’ll be going to.

“Take it look.” Opera pointed forward.

Iruma became shocked and surprise of seeing the demon school which looks like a very large castle probably only seen in the ancient times or in anime.

“The renown demon school, this is Babyls.” Sullivan said and they see other young demon around Iruma’s age flying over them and heading to the school.

“You better prepare yourself, kid. Because a new chapter in your life has just begun and there is no going back.” Bachiko stated.

KO a new story is done and hope you all enjoy it!

I have decided to make this new story in honor of the anime show Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun starting its second season today, I love the show and decided to make my own story on what would happen if one other demon was there on the day Iruma was adopted by Sullivan. Like having Barbatos Bachiko as his new adopted mother, things are sure going to be exciting in this story as Bachiko will start to become a mother Iruma needs in order to survive the Demon World.

KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!

Chapter Text

Iruma’s First Demon School Fight?!

Iruma looks at the demon school known as Babyls as he’ll be going there for the opening ceremony, even though he is scared right now because of the demon students being and worried about getting eaten, deep down he is actually looking forward to going to school again.

“Well, I have to get ready. Bye!” Sullivan said before vanishing.

“Uh, what about you Opera?” Iruma asked.

“Have a lovely day, sir.” Opera said before walking away.

“Thanks…” Iruma groaned a bit.

“Hey Iruma, come down here for a bit.” Bachiko gestured her finger.

Iruma did as he is told and kneel for an almost eye-level contact then Bachiko flick him on the forehead.

“What was that for?” Iruma asked as the flick stings a little.

“To make you stop worrying. Look, you maybe the first human here in this school but the other demons won’t even notices that as you’ll already blend right in.” Bachiko stated.

“You really think so?” Iruma asked.

“Yeah, look at some of the demons and you’ll notice that they have human-like appearance similar to yours.” Bachiko pointed at some of the students.

True to her words, Iruma saw some of the young demons coming here do have similar appearance of a human as some humanoid and others almost like they’re fully human.

“Wow, you’re right.” Iruma surprised.

“Duh, of course, I’m right. Now quit being all worrywart and get going, first day of school doesn’t wait for anyone.” Bachiko helped straighten out the red bow.

“Okay, I’ll be going then. Bye mom.” Iruma waved at his newly adopted mom as he walks towards the school.

“Later, kid. And don’t do something that can make you stand out more!” Bachiko called out, smiling seeing her newly adopted son going off to school.

“Hmm, why do I get the feeling something is gonna happen soon.” Bachiko asked herself.

Iruma is walking toward the school gate and past four demon students wearing black and red uniforms, and he just realize that he doesn’t have any idea where to go for the opening ceremony.

“Hey, you.” One demon student with white and black hair called out to Iruma, making him flinch.

“A-Are you talking to me?” Iruma asked feeling a bit scared. Remembering what Sullivan said about being eaten if they found out, but he also remembered Bachiko’s words about already blinding in.

“D-Did you need something?” Iruma asked again nervously.

“New first-years go to the auditorium, that way.” The black-white hair demon student pointed the way.

“Oh, thank you. Sorry, sir!” Iruma quickly ran off.

“(Thank goodness, they didn’t figure out I’m human.)” Iruma thought sighed in relief.

Iruma made his way to the auditorium where a large number of students are gathered there as he managed to find himself a sit between two large demons, the blue-haired boy does his best to stay calm though feels extremely scared of being surrounded by scary demons.

“I hope we’ll be in the same class together.” One blonde demon girl excited.

“Me too!” A green dragon demon girl nodded.

“(Hey, a normal conversation.)” Iruma thought surprised and heard another girl saying to perhaps her family.

“(Maybe mom was right, and I won’t have to worry more.)” Iruma thought smiled.

“Silence.” A scary-looking teacher said instantly making all the students quiet.

“(Is he a teacher? He’s terrifying.)” Iruma thought.

“Thank you all for waiting. It’s 6:06am, let’s formally commence the welcome ceremony to Babyls.” One teacher with white horns and light brown hair declared.

“Now all of you, raise. It’s time for the school song.” One upperclassmen student said as everyone stands up including Iruma and a piano music started to play.

Humans only exist to be our food
Suck them dry, soul, blood, flesh, and all
Iruma’s body started shaking a little in fear of how terrifying and gruesome this song is, really hoping his mom is right about him blinding in with the others and NOT getting eaten.

Tremble at the sound of black wings as we take flight
For we are demons (x3)
As this song pours forth from our red lips

Iruma pray to the Heavens or whatever higher being that he doesn’t get find out he’s human while trying to calm as possible despite looking so pale.

Scream for us, for we are demons

The song ended and Iruma let out a sigh as he wasn’t sure if he can take listening to that song longer.

“Next, a greeting from our director.” A teacher announced as the students cheered.

“(As in… the King of the Demons?)” Iruma thought.

“Iruma! It’s me, you’re loving grandpa!” Sullivan called out joyfully, standing on the stage.

“HE’S THE DIRECTOR?!” Iruma gasped, then quickly quiet himself as the students are surprised that Sullivan as a grandkid.

“Yes, indeed. My grandson now attend this school and he is so precious and adorable, I could squeeze him until his eyes pop out.” Sullivan bragged giggling.

“Oh no, please don’t embarrass me.” Iruma whispered.

“And that’s not all! Say hello to your mother, Iruma because she’s here too!” Sullivan lifted Bachiko from behind the table stance with her face blushing.

“MOM?!” Iruma gasped.

“Hey, I think I know her. She’s the Undead Archer, Barbatos Bachiko.” One of the students mentioned.

“Wait, does that mean she is also Sullivan’s daughter?” One green furry demon puzzled.

“My head feels like it’s about to exploded!” One yellow fishy-like demon said dizzy.

“I’m sorry, Iruma. I couldn’t stop him…” Bachiko whispered apologizing.

“And right here, I have the photo we took just a minute ago.” Sullivan pulled out a paper-size photo of himself, Bachiko, and Iruma together next to the Entrance Ceremony sign.

“Look, it’s me, my grandson, and his mommy!” Sullivan said cheerfully.

“He blew my cover!” Iruma gasped and covered his face with his hands.

“Copies will be made available for any purchase.”

“I promise, no one wants that.” Iruma and Bachiko groaned.

“Well, that’s all I really wanted to say, so bye!” Sullivan hopped away from the stage leaving Bachiko behind.

“Just get on with the ceremony.” Bachiko groaned.

“Okay, and now we’ll have a greeting from the new students Representative, Asmodeus.” The teacher said and the student named Asmodeus walk towards the stage.

Some of the girls in the gathering became idolizes of how amazingly hot and handsome Asmodeus is, wishing to be curse by him.

“(Good, he’s a perfect distraction.)” Iruma thought sighed.

“What? Okay. Giving the address in his place is… the Honor Student, Iruma Barbatos.” The teacher announced much to Iruma and Bachiko’s shock.

“(Damn it, Lord Sullivan. Why?)” Bachiko thought winced as Iruma came up to the stance.

Everyone commented that Iruma looks like a cute baby at first and some have believed that he got guts of not blinking in front of a huge crowd.

“(I can’t breathe when I’m in the spot like this.)” Iruma thought nervous.

“If you wouldn’t mind giving your greeting.” The teacher said.

“Pss, Iruma.” Bachiko whispered getting his attention.

“Just do a simple “Hello, my fellow students” first.” Bachiko instructed.

“O-Okay.” Iruma nodded before looking back at the crowd.

“H-Hello, my fellow students.” Iruma greeted nervously, then saw the photo Sullivan showed earlier with writing on the back.

“I sent you these words of wisdom for good luck and well wishes, so you won’t trip and fall throughout your upcoming school days.

Your loving Grandpa.”

“(Am I supposed to read this out loud?)” Iruma thought wondered but seeing he doesn’t have a choice right now as he took a deep breathe.

“Aberuhauke.”

Everyone, both the students and the teachers all became gasp in fear when Iruma said that word and more scared when he kept saying the others.

“Tartoudari. Iusabebe.” Iruma started to notice everyone is so quiet all the sudden.

“(No, no, Lord Sullivan, you didn’t!)” Bachiko thought realized while shaking in fear.

“Risutouru. Aburuze. Sutoumanu. Aberuge. Uru. Mahoraba.”

The only one who isn’t frightened of the words Iruma is saying is Sullivan as he is standing backstage recording all this with his Devi-camera.

“Tsurezaza.” Iruma read the last word and his body glowed green for an instant, and then the students started cheering for him much to his confusion.

“Uh, mom, are you okay?” Iruma asked seeing Bachiko down on her knees and hands.

“Thank the Devil, you’re still alive.” Bachiko panted.

“Hey, you.” A teacher walked up to Iruma.

“You can’t just chant forbidden spells like that.” The teacher said.

“Uh, what?” Iruma seemed more confused now.

“They’re taboo for a good reason, if you were to stutter or read it wrong your body could’ve exploded. That just comment sense.” The teacher explained.

“(That’s news to me! I could I have known it was dangerous?!)” Iruma thought gasped with his legs shaking.

“That stuff was foolish, reckless, and crazy. And unbelievable awesome too!” The demon teacher said with a thumb up as Iruma is shocked.

“Only a total idiot would use that spell or an oblivious demon who doesn’t fear death.” The demon teacher smiled.

“By the way, sir, what exactly does that spell do?” Iruma asked.

“If it works, it’ll prevent you from tripping and falling the whole day.” The teacher answered.

“Wait, seriously…?” Iruma exclaimed.

“I think I’m gonna go out for a walk.” Bachiko decided as she walks off the stage to calm her mind.

Iruma walk off the stage too, then stopped when one student stands in front of him with a fierce look in his eyes.

“You may call me Asmodeus Alice.” Alice said.

Alice has a tall stature and feminine features. He has fair skin and medium-length light-pink hair. He has pointed ears and his eyes are magenta with long eyelashes. Instead of wearing Babylus' school uniform, Alice wears a formal set of his own. He wears a black dress shirt under a white waistcoat and an elegant white overcoat with gold trim, complimenting the gold-trimmed boots and white trousers.

“Uh, hi there.” Iruma greeted.

(Outside)

Iruma is now standing several feet across from Alice who is glaring at him causing his body to shake in fear.

“(Why do I suddenly feel like I’m about to die?)” Iruma thought asked himself in fear.

“Huh, excuse me… are you gonna eat me?” Iruma asked.

“I was supposed to deliver the school greeting. The punishment for thieving that spotlight from me is most assuredly death.” Alice said as he summons fire from his right hand.

Asmodeus Alice, a demon well-known for his mastery of fire spells.

“And since you so rudely stole my thunder, I reserve the right to test your medal and see if you are truly worthy of it. Agreed?” Alice asked fiercely.

Iruma looks around seeing the other students cheering and getting excited for this fight to happen.

“Wow, they’re really into this.” Iruma gulped.

“Now, you only have mere moments to try and prove that you are superior to me with your body!” Alice threw a fireball at Iruma.

Alice is known for having powerful fire magic that no newbies could handle and could be on pair with the upperclassmen too, and yet he could not land a single hit on Iruma as he manages to dodge them all so quick while panicking at the same time.

“Hey, what’s going on here?” Bachiko shoved herself through the crowed students and her eyew widen of shock of seeing Iruma getting attack by Alice.

“Why is Iruma in a fight?!” Bachiko freaked out.

“Hey look, it’s Iruma’s mom.” One student noticed her, and suddenly got grabbed and pulled down by the collar of his shirt.

“Do you mind telling me what the actual Hell is going on here?” Bachiko demanded.

“Asmodeus brought Iruma here to fight for taking the student greeting spotlight or something like that.” The student answered in fear of Bachiko’s pink glowing finger against his neck.

“(Seriously, all because of that!)” Bachiko thought angered.

“But the strangest thing is that he hasn’t been able to hit Iruma once.” The student mentioned.

Bachiko tossed the student away and look to the fight seeing Alice continuing with his fiery attacks sending countless fireballs, and Iruma keeps on dodging them all, this surprises the pink archer wondering if he has some kind of danger senser.

This fight on continues on with Alice throwing more fireballs and Iruma keeps dodging them all until they stop of exhaustion.

For twenty straight minutes, Iruma managed to dodge every single attack.

“What the hell? I haven’t hit you once.” Alice puzzled.

“I know, sorry about that.” Iruma apologized.

“Damn, how is Iruma able to do that?” Bachiko wondered.

How is such a feat remotely possible? In truth, it’s because he’s unfortune. After being put through endless Hell by his garbage parents, by default he became a master of avoiding anything. Whether they be dangerous, scary, or painful, he dodged it all.

“(Now’s my chance, I need to apologize.)” Iruma thought.

He may have zero offense, but his defense is infinity. If given a name, this rare would be called “Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability.”

“(Well, it looks like Iruma will try to apologize, but wait…)” Bachiko thought begun to realize something.

“Iruma’s a beast.”

“He hasn’t even tried to attack him yet.”

“Wait, is he saying Asmodeus is not worth his time? Whoa!”

“(Crap, they’re taking this the wrong way!)” Bachiko thought grinded as she hears the students talking.

“Well, are they right? Am I so not worth attacking, you won’t even bother?” Alice asked feeling his pride has been shattered.

“No, no, no, no, no! It’s not you, at all. I’m the unworthy bug here.” Iruma tried to make Alice that he’s the better one.

However, the students around them again misunderstood that Iruma is saying Alice is worthless than a bug and called him a coward that he should run home to his mommy.

“You got it all wrong!” Iruma freaked out.

“I will not abide this.” Alice angered as he stands up and used his magic to create a fire sword.

“If magic won’t work, I’ll just have to take you down using martial arts. Prepare for destruction!” Alice charged at Iruma.

However, Iruma parry Alice past him while he panicked.

He uses his opponent’s strength to parry, another part of his Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability.

Alice could not stop himself from charging forward as his is heading toward one female student with his flame sword pointed at her.

“Careful, watch out!” Iruma tried to stop Alice by grabbing him around the torso, but he didn’t have the strength to stop the fall.

Then Iruma’s body glows green for an instant like before and a huge dust suddenly erupted.

“If it works, it’ll prevent you from tripping and falling the whole day.”

All the students and Bachiko became shocked upon seeing what has just happened right before their eyes of how the duel has ended.

Those who witness the duel that day would later say…

The dust cloud cleared up showing Iruma have slammed Alice’s head on the ground while bending backward, all because of that one said forbidden spell.

Yes, it was without exaggeration a perfectly executed German Supplex.

All the students started cheering for Iruma’s victory in the duel believing that he is strong than they thought, but Iruma and Bachiko weren’t feeling the celebration like the others.

“(I’m doom.)” Iruma thought feared.

(Later, Chair-Demon’s Office)

Bachiko is reading the Babyls school newspaper, the Wickedness, about Iruma reading a forbidden spell at the opening ceremony and gave the head of the Class Asmodeus Alice a concussion, even showing a picture of Iruma’s “attack”.

“Well, some say your first day in school would be an exciting one. At least for some…” Bachiko looked at her freaking out adopted son.

“I expect nothing less from my grandson. You have such a bright future ahead of you!” Sullivan hopped in joy.

“No, I don’t, what I did was completely awful.” Iruma sweated in fear.

“I’m sure it’ll be fine.” Bachiko said as she puts down the newspaper.

“How can you say that? I gotta apolo”

Alice forcibly opens the door before Iruma could finish his sentence and walk toward Iruma who scared that he might want payback for earlier, but instead, Alice got down on one knee with a bow.

“I am now at your service, Iruma.” Alice said much to Iruma’s confusion.

“There’s nothing more to say. I squarely, handle lost to you in our earlier duel. On top of that, I was informed you carried me all the way to the infirmary, and I, Asmodeus Alice, was moved far beyond what mere words could even express.” Alice said gratefully.

“Huh, wait, I…” Iruma tried to stop him.

“Written demon law dictates the defeated party must serve the victory, therefor…” Alice looked up at Iruma before smiling. “I pledge my undying loyalty to you and will aid you into ruling this school forever!”

“WHAT?! Wait a minute, hang on!” Iruma freaked out.

“First, you need services and that’s going to be the entire student body.” Alice believed making Iruma freak out more.

“Who shall I slay first? Your wish is my command.” Alice said.

“Yeah, this is exactly what I meant. Your school life here is going to be one HUGE roller coaster ride.” Bachiko sighed.

“No, please no!” Iruma cried.

Iruma Barbatos, age 14, enrolled at the Demon School Babyls has now acquired one subordinate.

“Shall I make tea?” Opera asked who is also in the office.

“I think we’re gonna need more than tea.” Bachiko pointed out.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Well, Iruma first day at the school turned out to be a very eventful day for everyone to see his strange evasion skill and how he became the certain of attention which can only make Irume worry. But at least he doesn’t have to worry about blinding in with the other demons since Bachiko pointed out that some of them have human-like appearances, much.

Chapter Text

Unexpected Teacher Familiar of Summoning

Bachiko is seen in her bedroom just finished dressing up in her usually clothing style and took out another toothpick placing it hanging from her mouth, she walks out of the room making her way to the dining table where Iruma and Sullivan are waiting, and Opera is serving out the plates of breakfast.

“Morning, Bachiko.” Sullivan greeted.

“G-Good morning, Mom.” Iruma greeted a little nervous.

“Morning, Iruma. Lord Sullivan.” Bachiko greeted back as she sat down.

Barbatos Bachiko, Undead Archer and War Hero, have recently become the mother of the human boy, Iruma who’s soul was sold by his idiot parents.

“Did you sleep well, Iruma?” Sullivan asked.

“Oh, yes.” Iruma answered.

“No need to hold back, eat as much as you like. You’re still a growing boy.” Sullivan encouraged.

“(The food in the NetherRealm takes a little encouraging, but it’s actually really good.)” Iruma thought as he took a bite on a pink worm-looking meat and smiles.

“(Man, Iruma is munching down like there’s no tomorrow. Bet it’s that former parents of his fault, probably made him starve.)” Bachiko thought angered as she ate her breakfast.

“Hell Gray Tea.” Opera offered to Iruma as the menacing, purple-colored aura coming out of the liquid.

“Thank you, I’ll try it.” Iruma takes the tea and drinks it.

“So, Iruma, how are you feeling about your first day in class.” Bachiko asked.

She got her answer when Iruma gasp and spit-spraying the demonic tea from his mouth.

Indeed, Iruma is now officially attending the prestigious known as Babyls, as Sullivan’s grandson and Bachiko’s son.

“(Do I have to go?)” Iruma thought worried.

“Hey, Iruma.” Bachiko said getting his attention.

“Remember what I told you, some of the demons have human appearance, so you’ll blend in fine.” Bachiko reminded before drinking her tea.

“I know, but…” Iruma gulped, worry that he’ll get find out and be turn into a snack.

“I think you need some cheering up. Opera?” Sullivan looked to the servant.

“Right.” Opera snapped his finger and a bunch of stuff appeared from under a cloak.

“Lookie here, I splurged all this to celebrating starting your new school.” Sullivan said cheerfully.

“This is all for me?” Iruma asked, Sullivan nods for yes.

“But you already gave him so much yesterday.” Bachiko pointed out.

“Oh, that was just to celebrating getting my first grandson. This is celebrated him starting school.” Sullivan explained.

“Helicopter parent!” Iruma and Bachiko gasped, even though the latter has no idea what a helicopter is.

“Ta-da! Opera and I even added some extra embroidery. What do you think?” Sullivan asked.

“It’s beautiful, thanks.” Iruma said feeling the pressure of be spoiled.

“Lord Sullivan, your fingers.” Bachiko realized seeing the wrapped bandages on Sullivan’s fingers.

“I’m not used to doing embroidery, it was hard, but it was so much fun.” Sullivan smiled.

Irum is shocked that his adopted grandfather would go out of his way to make a simple handkerchief with his own two hands just for him.

“And this. Here’s your Hellraiser Clock, so you can in the morning and be on time.” Sullivan showed him the yellow demon-bird clock as it screeches loud.

“Iruma, what you wanted to talk to him about school. I think you should just accept this.” Bachiko whispered to him.

“Oh, huh, I… I can’t wait for school.” Iruma exclaimed as he is unable to deny going to school because of the gifts Sullivan got him and his mother’s advice.

Now Iruma is standing in front of the gate to his mansion home with Sullivan, Bachiko and Opera also outside to watch him leave.

“Okay, I’m going now. See ya.” Iruma waved goodbye as he walks away.

“Bye, Iruma!” Sullivan said cheerfully.

“Take care, Iruma.” Bachiko said.

“Now we tail him, I have to get his first walk to school on video.” Sullivan holds up a camera about to follow Iruma until Opera grabs him by the fur collar.

“I’m afraid you’ll be working from home today, sir.” Opera dragged Sullivan back to the house as the lord tries to break free.

“Well, might as well watch some Dev-TV.” Bachiko said.

“Actually, Bachiko. I have a special job for you.” Sullivan mentioned getting her attention.

(Babysl Front Gate)

Iruma is walking to the school and flinch when he heard the students flying above him singing the school’s song, he also saw the students wearing the black and red clothing from yesterday thinking they could be from this school’s student council.

“(Okay, just got to stay calm and not stand out.)” Iruma thought determined.

“Hello and good morning, Iruma! I’ve been waiting for you for 6 hours and 6 minutes.” Alice greeted joyfully.

“Oh, hey there, good morning, Asmodeus-Wait! 6 hours!” Iruma gasped.

“Yes, indeed, sir. Within the pitch black of the witching hour.” Alice answered with a bow.

“There’s no need for you to do things like that, Asmodeus. Seriously!” Iruma stated.

“Oh, is that so? And please just call me Aiz, let’s skip the formality.” Alice insisted.

“Aiz, okay.” Iruma surprised.

“Yes, may I carry your bag?” Alice offered to carry his school bag.

“Uh, you don’t have to do that.” Iruma turned down, then heard some students talking about him as the honor student and made Alice, the Head of the Class, his servant.

Iruma and Alice are seen walking in the hallways together as the blue hair boy groans that he couldn’t stop standing out now.

“So, can you tell me where were going again?” Iruma asked.

“Well, first of all, master, you and I are in the same group.” Alice said.

“Really, we are?” Iruma asked.

“That’s right, they’ll divided the 163 new students into a certain number of groups and will practice and prepare until classes begin. It just can’t happen all at once.” Alice explained as Iruma starts to understand.

“Today will be holding the Familiar Summoning, and now to the Familiar Vault.” Alice mentioned as he and Iruma are walking outside and heading to a building.

“Familiars?” Iruma wondered.

“It’s a tradition here in Babysl, after entering the school each student summons a magical beast and makes it their subordinate.” Alice explained.

“And that makes it their Familiar?” Iruma asked.

“The students rank will be determined on according to whatever magical beast they are able to summon. Climbing those ranks leads to academic success here, the higher they climb, the better they do.” Alice explained more.

“Oh, I get it. That’s so cool!” Iruma interested.

“(Although, I wonder if summons also eat humans?)” Iruma thought worried.

The two have enter the large room with the new first-year students who are also here to summon their own familiar.

“Wow, this is sort of nerve wracking.” Iruma admitted.

“These results will also determine what classes the school places you in.” Alice mentioned.

“That’s good to know.” Iruma nodded and looks around, then saw a familiar face.

“Hey, it’s her.” Iruma spotted one female demon student.

“Who, master?” Alice asked.

“The girl I saved from our duel. Mom said I should make sure she’s okay from yesterday.” Iruma explained.

“Oh yes, I almost killed her with my flaming sword. I should apologize to her as well.” Alice said.

“Hi there.” Iruma called out getting the girl’s attention.

“Oh my Devil, it’s Iruma!” The girl gasped.

“I just wanted to see if you’re okay, almost getting hurt from the duel yesterday.” Iruma said.

“Oh, huh, thank you for your concern. M-My name is Eiko Oni.” Eiko introduced herself stutter.

Eiko is a female student wearing the typical female student uniform with no discernible changes. This includes the typical blouse and a pink capulet, with a pink skirt and red bow with a cat-eye clasp at her neck. She has long, somewhat frizzy blonde hair which is not tied back. She has uneven bangs framing her face. She has two black, bull-like horns on either side of her head and pointed demon ears. She has large, round, yellow eyes and short, red-painted nails.

“Nice to meet you, and Aiz here has something to say.” Iruma gestured to Alice.

“I apologize for charging at you like that.” Alice apologized with a bow.

“Oh no, it wasn’t your fault. It just the heated moment of the battle.” Eiko said thinking it was.

“In any case, I think we can get along. I’m Gaako, by the way.” Gaako greeted.

“Nice to meet you.” Iruma greeted.

The door slams open making all the students look to see a demon-man walking in with a fierce-serious look in his eyes.

“(I’m guessing he’s going to overlook the ritual.)” Iruma thought guessed.

“Silence.” He said walking until he stops and look at the students.

“I am Naberius Kalego and I will be your advisor.” Kalego introduced himself.

“I am the sol permit leader of this ritual, and why? Because I maintain dignity at all times. I will decide whether your disposable trash or very useful trash, but trash either way.” Kalego said walking up to Iruma.

“For example… if trash use the spotlight his grandfather gave him to chant a forbidden spell, and then had the audacity to cause a huge uproar right afterward on the same day. That’d be immediate grounds for expulsion.” Kalego glared demonically at Iruma.

“Hey, quit scaring the new kids and let’s get on with the ritual.” Bachiko said.

“Mom! What are you doing here?” Iruma asked shock.

“Apparently, your grandfather gave me the job as security guard of the school, and as a way for mother and son to spend more time together.” Bachiko explained.

“Oh, that sounds like him.” Iruma chuckled.

“Be as it way, I will instantly and personally expel any failure. So, let this be a warning.” Kalego warned getting the students intense.

“Be silent.” Kalego said as he holds up a cute pink frame with a magical screen showing a pink talking heart.

“The Familiar Summoning Course, it’s super easy, watch!” The cute heart thing said as Kalego gets irritated. “1. Draw a circle in blood on a parchment. 2. Head into the magic circle with that parchment. 3. Hold the parchment right above the candle in the circle center. 4. The smoke will set to take down and your familiar will appear. Okay, now we’re all going to”

Kalego smashes it on the floor before it could finish speaking.

“That’s enough.” Kalego said as some of the students comment on how he didn’t like the cute lesson guide.

“It is imperative you only use the parchment with my seal on it. I can tell immediately if it’s a fake.” Kalego said.

“Uh, excuse me, is this going to be dangerous?” Gaako asked.

“Dumb question. You will be summoning a subordinate and making it serve you. That’s exactly what familiars are, and should a familiar ever disobey its master…” Kalego crushed his hands on the pink frame making a cracked hole through it.

“There will be punishment, that’s how deep the blood pack between you is. Make sure you lots are suitably prepare.” Kalego walked past Iruma making him feel scared.

“Line up in an orderly fashion.” Kalego yelled.

“That man doesn’t even try to hide his animosity.” Alice pointed out.

“Kalego has always been the one to get things seriously by the book and won’t even hesitate to kill anyone who would even to cross him.” Bachiko mentioned.

“Hope I’ll get through this.” Iruma said.

“I’ll gladly charge him if you give me the order.” Alice volunteered to teach Kalego a lesson.

“Don’t worry about it, I would never ask you to do that for me.” Iruma quickly turned the offer down.

“Oh, very well.” Alice sighed.

“I’m sure everything will be okay, Iruma. Even weak summons can still be a passing grade.” Eiko hoped she’s right.

“Thanks, I guess.” Iruma said.

“And you better make sure you not to look like a fool. As my son, I won’t tolerate humiliation in the Barbatos clan.” Bachiko scoled.

“Yes, mom.” Iruma nodded.

The Familiar Summoning Ritual has started with each student getting their own magical beast, like Eiko having a cute blue fox-like creature with a misty body, and Iruma watches them in amazement of how cool these Familiars are. And soon saw Alice having his turn, the familiar he summoned from the smoke came in the form of an elegant yet fierce snake creature with horns and wings along with a fiery tail.

“See, Master!” Alice smiled.

“That was totally incredible! You’re both so cool!” Iruma complimented.

“Your kindness humbles us.” Alice and his Familiar bowed.

“(A gorgon snake, I guess I’m not surprise consider his lineage.)” Kalego thought while a floating paper is written by a floating pen.

“But this will look like a puppy compared to the familiar you’re about to summon.” Alice proclaimed.

“Easy there, fire boy. You should hold the cheering until after.” Bachiko stated as Iruma agrees.

“You’re next, Iruma.” Kalego called out.

“Yes, sir.” Iruma responded fast and made his way to the circle with the parchment.

“(Damn it, I should have realized that humans don’t have magical powers. I hope Iruma will be okay.)” Bachiko thought worried, then notice Iruma smiling and figured out what.

“Iruma! Don’t screw this up or else you’re ground for eternity!” Bachiko screamed.

“Yes, mom!” Iruma flinched.

Meanwhile, Kalego continue glaring at Iruma because he embodies the three things he full despises, and he is just like the dumbass Chair-Demon as Kalego hates that old bastard for the things to he did. Like Sullivan docked his pay, forced the cute lesson guide on him, and crashed the ceremony.

“(I know that look, Kalego. You want to expel Iruma if he screws up. Don’t think I won’t hesitate to shoot an arrow up your ass.)” Bachiko thought angered.

Summoning: The ritual which demons summon magical beasts and make them their familiar. It is also the ritual in which humans summon demons and make them their familiar.

When Iruma place the parchment over the candle as it burns, the magical burst of energy erupts shocking him and the others.

Ironically, the parchment had Kalego’s seal on it and Iruma is a human which means…

Then a dark purple flame-like smoke appeared in front of Iruma.

“There it is…” Iruma shocked.

“Could that really be his familiar?” Bachiko asked shock.

To everyone’s surprise, it is the upper half body of Kalego while his lower half is still at the spot where he stands with the summoning portal and they both became shocked.

Which means, much to his rage and horror, the demon Kalego was summoned by the human Iruma to be his familiar.

“You bumbling idiot! What the Hell did you do?” Kalego asked angry.

“I really don’t know, I’m sorry sir.” Iruma apologized.

“Enough! Stop the summoning right now!” Kalego demanded.

Iruma tried pulling him back by the legs but Kalego yelled about he could rip them off and push instead, which Iruma did though he didn’t go for the head as he pushed the legs through the portal and when Kalego went fully through a puff of smoke formed around him. Transforming him into a small white creature resembling an owl chick, about the size of a grapefruit, with small black, bat-like wings, black, horn-like tufts, and Kalego's distinctive front hair curl.

Kalego look at himself for a few seconds and then fell on the floor in completely despair.

“OH NO!” Iruma screamed.

“Whoa, that happened…” Bachiko surprised, not sure what else to say.

“Mom, is he still our Professor?” Iruma asked.

“Iruma, I am moved beyond words!” Alice cried shocking Iruma.

“Miraculous, you managed to make Kalego your familiar!” Alice bowed in the greatness of Iruma as the other students are shocked.

“Amazing!” Eiko smiled.

“Kalego’s attitude toward you was so hostile, I knew you were secretly in rage. This will show him good.” Alice believed.

“Yeah, I bet this will make him change his way.” Bachiko chuckled.

“Mom, don’t! You know I didn’t mean to.” Iruma panicked.

“R-Ridiculous… Me, me, a common familiar!” Kalego angered with his small body becoming scarer now.

“You cannot he serious! Nullify this contract immediately, you won’t like the alternative.” Kalego threatened and suddenly, he got struck by red lightning that came out of nowhere.

“And that Iruma is the punishment for the Familiar that tries to go against the summoner.” Bachiko explained as Iruma is shaking in fear that he is standing out more now.

“Yet again I am slain!” Alice cried.

“But why though?” Iruma asked.

“One more thing I should warn you about. Forcing the ritual to be undone will kill you both as this locked you two in for a year.” Bachiko mentioned causing Iruma to scream in shock.

“But mom, there must something!” Iruma begged.

“A demon summons another demon as a familiar is unheard of, and since you’re human I think this kind of thing is natural. I think.” Bachiko said.

“You think?!” Iruma gasped.

Unable to nullify the contact. Iruma Barbatos, age 14, acquired a familiar on his first day of school. Kalego ended bedridden from the shock and Iruma’s rank was never determined. As a result, Iruma’s notoriety spread even further as he became known as “The Demon who made another Demon his familiar.”

“What am I going to do now?” Iruma worried.

“No idea.” Bachiko shrugged.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Once again, Iruma has made himself known again to the entire school as he made his first summoning with Kalego as his familiar in an unexpected way. I decided to have Iruma talk to Eiko because I think she at least deserves a little moment with him and have to Bachiko works at Babysl as a security guard by Sullivan himself.

Chapter Text

Crazy and Energetic New Friend Playing

“Finally! I never thought the Familiar pact ceremony was never going to end.” Bachiko walked through a hallway after finishing up the with some other first-year students.

“It’s still going to be day or two for the classes to officially begin, not to mention there will be the deciding on which classes the students will be put in though for Iruma he would still want to stand out less.” Bachiko talked to herself.

“Oh, Hey Bachiko!” Dali called out getting her attention.

“What do you want, Dali? I was thinking about going for a snack.” Bachiko said, a little annoyed of this guy’s stupid face.

“Just wanted to let you know that your son came by here with Asmodeus getting their textbooks.” Dali informed.

“Okay, and why tell me that?” Bachiko asked.

“Well, I also got them to keep an eye on one student who was stacking up boxes only to end up knocking them down like bowling game.” Dali mentioned.

“Bowling with boxes? Now that’s weird and you let the student go with Iruma.” Bachiko said.

“I wouldn’t worry about that, I’m sure the honor student can handle a nutcase like that girl.” Dali brushed off the worry.

“I’ll be the judge of that.” Bachiko walked away to find Iruma and Asmodeus to see how they are doing with that student.

It took her a bit of time to consider how big the school is, and she did stop a couple of students from causing trouble along the way, she looks around some more until she finally spotted Iruma and Asmodeus with his face covered in paint ball while Iruma is dodging them. And she also sees the one who has been throwing the paintball.

“(Must be the girl Dali mentioned.)” Bachiko thought.

“Here comes another one!” The female student threw another paintball at Iruma.

Iruma would have easily dodge it because of his Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability, but the paintball was stopped by a pink magic arrow piercing through it.

“I think my boy prefers blue than any other color.” Bachiko said.

“Mom!” Iruma shocked.

“Oh, that’s your mommy!” The female student smiled.

Suddenly before Bachiko could react, she is being lifted by the girl by her arms and high into the air.

“Wow, she’s so small and so cute being all pink!” The demon girl amazed.

“Did you just call me small?” Bachiko asked feeling tick off.

“Be careful, Clara, my mom isn’t someone you can make fun of!” Iruma warned and pulled his adopted mom away from the demon girl now revealed her name to be Clara.

“So, who’s this demon you’re playing paint with?” Bachiko asked.

But before Iruma could answer, Clara zoomed right in front of her face and jumps back a little.

“Hi, my name is Valac Clara, and I want to have fun ALL the time!” Clara introduced herself in a very bright and cheerful expression.

Clara has long, straight lime green hair and lime green eyes. A pair of rightly curled horns sits just above her pointed ears. Her teeth are sharp, and her nails are red. She has a long red tail with a heart on the end. She wears the traditional girls' uniform provided by Babyls. She has personal pockets on her skirt that are yellow with white smiling faces on them. She also wears slippers that look like green monsters.

“Say to hello to my friends on my feet too! Connor is my right foot and Murf is my left foot!” Clara introduced her monster slippers as they blink at her.

“Yeah, nice to meet you, I guess. Now I hope you weren’t playing with my boy too hard with those paint.” Bachiko said.

“Believe me, Lady Bachiko! I tried to warn Master Iruma to keep his distance from his weirdo, but things happened, and I ended up playing the housewife.” Asmodeus explained.

“Why were you playing a wife?” Bachiki puzzled of that.

“Master Iruma agreed to play with her as if he couldn’t bare himself to say no for some reason.” Asmodeus answered before being knocking unconscious by Clara because she wanted to play another game.

“Of course, he wouldn’t say no.” Bachiko sighed, looking at Iruma who chucked nervously.

“So, do you want to play too! We can go for spike ball tag, exploding cards, or maybe more throwing each other with paint!” Clara showed the stuff that came out of her pocket.

“Huh, how did you pop up those things like that?” Bachiko asked.

“She said it’s her Bloodline ability or something like that.” Iruma mentioned.

“Hey mom, would you mind reminding me of what exactly bloodline ability is?” Iruma asked, acting in front of Asmodeus.

“Sheesh, do we need to keep going over this until it’s embedded into that skull of yours.” Bachiko sighed, decided to play along with Iruma.

“Bloodline Ability is a term that those within their own family carry the exact same magic type they have and carry on that magic from generation to generation, each family magic is similar or completely different than the other like some can do fire like Asmodeus, wield lightning, or other things like talking to animals or control others in a way.” Bachiko explained.

“And in my family’s case, the make things I have seen before appear from my pockets!” Clara added, leaning her head on top of Bachiko’s.

“Yeah, something like that.” Bachiko annoyed.

“Hey, does anyone want to play target practice with spicy hot sauce from a squirt gun!” Clara suggested popping out a few bottles of hot sauce and a squirt gun.

“What kind of bizarre things that goes on in your head, kid?” Bachiko asked, feeling weird of this kid.

“Come on, I know you want to play games with us!” Clara excited, pushing herself on Bachiko.

“Hey, get off of me!” Bachiko yelled.

“Come on, she just wants to play.” Iruma said.

“More like being an annoying pest right now.” Bachiko pushed Clara off.

“Hey, Clarin!” A male demon student called out along with two other demons.

“Oh, hey there, Yocchan!” Clara greeted and zipped to Yocchan and his two friends.

“You seem to be having fun.” Yocchan said.

“Yeah, do you want to play with us?” Clara asked.

“Maybe later, right now me and the boys are hungry for some snacks. Think you can give us something to smooth our belly?” Yocchan asked with a cocky grin.

“Sure.” Clara nodded and used her pocket ability to bring out some snacks giving them the snacks they want.

Bachiko and Iruma watches this looking at each other for a moment getting a weird feeling about this scene as the pink short demon woman glares at those three boys.

“Bye-bye!” Clara waved as Yocchan and his friends walked away.

“So, Clara, do you know those boys?” Iruma asked.

“Yeah, just some guys who would play with us as long as I gave them some stuff.” Clara answered.

“Oh, so do they play with you when you give them the stuff they ask for?” Iruma asked another question.

“Well, most of the time they would say they’re busy with other things that needs their attention and there was this time they told me to count a thousand when playing hide and seek. They’re really good at it.” Clara explained.

“(Yeah, more like just ditching you after getting free stuff.)” Bachiko thought guessed, feeling angry.

“That seems kind of harsh.” Iruma commented.

“Oh no, truth is you and Azz-Azz are the first ones to actually play with me.” Clara revealed.

“So, huh, anyway… would you maybe like to play with me again?” Clara asked nervously while pressing her fingers.

“Yeah, sure.” Iruma answered with a smile making Clara happier.

“Let’s not, Master… We might catch her craziness!” Asmodeus feared regaining his conscious.

“Oh, look at that. The fire boy is awake.” Bachiko said.

“Come on, come on! Let’s play some more games like a Hell-Running Marathon!” Clara suggested.

“Uh, maybe we should call it a day!” Iruma suggested.

(Nighttime)

“Night, mom.” Iruma said his goodnight to Bachiko.

“Night, Iruma.” Bachiko responded before walking away though only for a few feet as she stops and spoke.

“You’re worry for that Clara girl, aren’t you?” Bachiko asked just as Iruma was about to enter his room.

“I know you can already tell that those three boys are anything but “friends” with her and they most likely hanging out with her only because of the stuff she can create with her Bloodline Ability.” Bachiko pointed out.

“Yeah, I can tell and it’s not right for those boys to use Clara like that though I never done anything to that back in the human world whenever I see some similar scenes.” Iruma mentioned.

“I don’t know why, but I’m getting the weird feeling inside of me that doesn’t like how Clara is being treated and those boys are being mean to her in a way.” Iruma clutched onto his chest.

“It’s called being angry. You’re being mad at those boys using that girl for being an idiot and I think you would want to punch them in the face.” Bachiko stated.

“You really think so?” Iruma asked.

“That’s all on you, just remember to not ignore your feelings too much otherwise you’ll end up being clueless to yourself.” Bachiko said before walking to her room for real this time.

“Hey, mom!” Iruma called out.

“If I happen to run into those three demon boys, I might give them a warning for using Clara again.” Bachiko said without looking back.

This made Iruma happy knowing that his mom would do something as security guard of the school, but he also knows that she won’t do any favors for him despite being her son and also hopes she would also go easy on those boys if they were to cross paths with her.

(The Next Day)

“Come on, let see how high I can sack these stuffs on top of each other!” Clara suggested.

“That sounds like fun.” Iruma smiled.

“Just make sure that none of those things fall upon Master Iruma or else I will roast you!” Asmodeus warned bursting flame from his hand.

“Easy, Azz, I’m sure we’ll be fine. I think.” Iruma hoped he’s right.

“Guys, guys! Look how high I made!” Clara called out showing the tower of stuff she made as it wobbles.

“Whoa, that’s tall!” Iruma surprised.

“And look unstable.” Asmodeus worried.

(With Bachiko)

“(Well, everything looks peaceful today so far.)” Bachiko thought walked around a hallway.

Then Bachiko’s ear caught on some laughter of students close by and down a staircase, she went down turning a concern and saw Yocchan and his two friends hanging out.

“That honor student sure like weirdos. I mean he hangs out with her all the time.” One red-haired demon said.

“(Must be talking about Iruma and Clara.)” Bachiko thought guessed.

“Seriously, why would he bother?” One green-haired demon asked.

“I’m telling you guys, it’s because she’s inconvenient to have around. All you have to do is hang around with her once and a while so she can use her powers for you and your golden. I’m sure he’ll get sick her soon enough soon.” Yocchan proclaimed with a cocky smirk.

“You rock, Yocchan!” His friends said together.

Unknown to them, Clara was listening on their conversation following every word with a small sad expression on her face.

“That’s nothing new.” Clara said to herself as she walks away.

“You three are a bunch of idiots.” Bachiko said, revealing her present to the boys.

“Whoa, it’s the honor student’s mom!” The green-haired male student gasped.

“You really think Iruma is going to leave Clara because she’s annoying as Hell, but that’s where you’re wrong because the opposite will happen.” Bachiko stated.

“What? You really think that kid is still going to hang out with that weirdo?” Yucchan asked.

“I don’t think, I know he will because he’s a much nicer demon than all of you idiots and he isn’t playing with her because of the cool stuff Clara can pull out. It’s because he is really having fun with her and will ask nothing in return for that’s the Iruma of demon he is.” Bachiko explained strongly.

“Now, I believe you three are in for some punishment for treating a girl’s heart like their playthings.” Bachiko glared emitting her demonic pink aura.

This scares the three demons as they huddle together begging to be spare for whatever she is about to do on them, but Bachiko put her hands together and form a glowing bow and three arrows all pointing at the three demons.

(With Iruma and Clara)

Iruma and Clara are seen hanging out at the central plaza as the latter was handing him some stuff she popped up until they heard a sudden scream of three boys.

“What was that just now?” Iruma wondered what that scream was.

“Maybe it was a cat.” Clara guessed.

“How would a cat scream like that?” Iruma weirded out of Clara’s guess.

“Anyway, these snacks are really tasty and”

“Clara, I said I don’t want them.” Iruma cut off Clara’s sentence as she drops two box of snacks she was holding, and tears are forming from her eyes.

Couldn’t hold it in any longer, Clara started crying much to Iruma’s shock.

“H-Hey, what’s wrong? What did I say?” Iruma asked.

“This always happens! Everyone gets sick of me and never wants to play with me again!” Clara cried.

“That’s not it! You got your wire cross!” Iruma quickly said.

“But you said you didn’t want them.” Clara pointed out.

“Listen…” Iruma tried to calm the girl down.

“No, it’s no use. Everyone thinks I’m dumb and I have to give them things so they would have to play with me! It’s all I make up for!” Clara explained crying.

Not wanting to see her cry anymore than this, Iruma took Clara’s hands into his own and look at her in the eyes.

“I don’t need any of those things, they’re not why I was playing with you.” Iruma stated.

This causes Clara to be shocked that the stuff she was giving out weren’t what kept Iruma to play with her and actually listen in.

“I did it because I was having fun. Don’t you see?” Iruma revealed with a kind smile.

“You really mean it?” Clara asked.

“Yeah, really. I mean, I already took the stuff you gave me, but come on, you don’t have to bribe to play. I already enjoy it.” Iruma answered honestly.

“I mean you do go a bit overboard sometimes, but I’m not that imaginative. So, maybe you being to fun and so open-minded is a good thing.” Iruma complimented which causes Clara’s heart to race a little.

“So, what do you say? Will you play with us again?” Iruma asked.

Will you play with us again?

That question, those words, repeating in Clara’s head as this is literally the first time anyone she has ever met and tried to play with has really ask her to play with as this one didn’t care about the awesome stuff she gives away. And responding to that, Clara’s face turns red at first and then jumps in joy in the most loud and cheerful scream coming from her mouth.

“WOW! No one has ever asked me to play before!” Clara excited.

“This is the first time! The first time!” Clara rolled into a ball and breaking down a few trees or so.

“It’s the first time someone ask me to play!” Clara cheered.

“What should I do, Iruma-kin! What should I do?” Clara asked getting more excited and jumpy.

“Well, it looks like things have been settle well.” Bachiko walked up to them.

“Hey mom, everything okay?” Iruma asked.

“Yeah, and Clara.” Bachiko looked to Clara.

“You don’t have to worry about Yucchan and his buds anymore, they learned their lesson.” Bachiko smirked scary.

“(I would ask what that means, but I’m too scared to say the words.)” Iruma thought sweatdropped rapidly.

(The Next Day)

Bachiko is seen heading for the cafeteria thinking about getting herself some lunch, then she saw a bunch of students gathered for something and she pushes her way through to see what was going on only to laugh when she sees Kalego in his fluffy familiar form trap in Camu Camu, the shopkeeper of Babyls.

“Bachiko!” Kalego shouted in rage.

“Hey Kalego, your fury looks extra fluffy today.” Bachiko mocked.

“Silence! Your son did this to me when he got his hand on a summoning sticker, then he ran away before he could undo the summoning!” Kalego explained angry.

“Relax, the summoning sticker will wear off.” Bachiko mentioned and then Eiko runs up to her with Gaako.

“Hey! Miss Barbatos! Did you know your son can eat lots and lots of food like a bottomless pit! It was amazing!” Eiko amazed.

“Yeah, he can be like that when it comes to food.” Bachiko shrugged.

“He also broke the chef.” Gaak added.

“I’m sure he’s fine. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to get myself lunch.” Bachiko walked away.

“WAIT! Get Iruma back here and have him undo the summoning!” Kalego demanded, but Bachiko just ignored him.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma has acquired himself a new friend in the form of Clara being all over-fun loving and always wanting to play for whenever or just all the time, and Bachiko has given her son some peace of mind while also making sure those demons don’t bother Clara for her ability ever again.

Chapter Text

Barbatos’s Son Meet His Misfit Classmates

Morning has come on another day and today is the day that the new students of Babyls are officially going to their assigned classrooms to begin their studies within the demon school as Iruma and his family are eating breakfast.

“Hope you’re prepare, Iruma.” Bachiko said.

“Prepare for what?” Iruma asked.

“Why, today we’ll be announcing classes today! And I made sure to assign to a special class!” Sullivan revealed cheerfully.

“Oh, special?” Iruma wondered what that could be.

“Well, you said that you didn’t want to stand out and so grandpa has made sure your wish would come true!” Sullivan explained.

“Oh, did you now? That’s very nice.” Iruma smiled.

“Just try to make sure you survive in your new class.” Bachiko advised.

“Survive, what do you mean by that?” Iruma asked.

“The class you’re in is called the Misfit class, a classroom full of troublemakers and outcast of other demons that got them into that class in the first place.” Bachiko explained as she drinks her tea.

“Is classroom full of misfits, that sounds troubling.” Iruma worried.

“Don’t worry, at least there will be other demons who will stand out far more than you.” Sullivan stated.

“Iruma-kin! Good morning! Come on out and play!” Clara called out.

“Master Iruma, we are here to walk with you to school.” Asmodeus announced.

“You’ll be please to know, I put you all in the same class together.” Sullivan informed.

“Oh, thank you very much for that.” Iruma thanked as he finished his breakfast and headed off to meet up with his friends.

“Guess I better be going too.” Bachiko said as she got off her sit.

“Farewell, and I’m looking forward to see how you’ll help Iruma like you did with Clara.” Sullivan mentioned causing Bachiko to gasp.

“H-Hey, I was just caught some bad students making trouble for another. I didn’t do it because it happens to involve Iruma.” Bachiko proclaimed though her blushing face says otherwise.

“Oh, you look so adorable looking embarrass like that!” Sullivan awed.

“I’M GOING!” Bachiko ran out of the dining hall.

(With Iruma and Friends)

“I’m in the same class as you, Iruma sir? I’m so happy!” Asmodeus pleaded to hear that news after hearing this from Iruma and Clara is just playing with her slippers.

“Well yeah, but the problem is it’s called the Misfit Class and it’s fill with a bunch of troublemakers.” Iruma informed and worry about this class.

“Master, any class I’m in with you it’s automatically the best class. I couldn’t ask for anything more.” Asmodeus stated strongly.

“Really? That’s so good to hear.” Iruma smiled, glad to have Azz as his friend even though he had to explain what “Friend” is to him and Clara.

“By the way, why do you walk to school, Iruma sir, when you can fly?” Asmodeus asked.

“(Oh boy, so he finally pops the question, but that’s okay because mom told me if anyone ask then I should tell them this.)” Iruma thought prepared for this thanks to Bachiko.

“The reason I walk is because I was caught in an accident years ago that damaged my wings beyond repaired, so they had to be removed and I couldn’t fly again.” Iruma played the lie hoping Asmodeus would buy that story.

“My word, for a demon to have his wings damaged and remove them. It must have been a painful experience.” Asmodeus said sad a little. Clearly buying the story.

“It was, but mom told me that as long as my heart is still beating then I’ll be okay, and walking isn’t so bad. I mean, everyone does it too, right?” Iruma pointed out.

“You are correct and I’m glad to see you have such an iron will to boot!” Asmodeus complimented.

“(Phew, so glad he brought it.)” Iruma thought smiled.

Soon, the trio arrived at the school and meeting up with Eiko and Gaak as they went together to see the schoolboard about what class the students are put in and the Misfit class with his name is fancier than the others.

“Why does it got to be so bold?” Iruma exclaimed, knowing it’s his grandpa’s doing.

“Hooray! I’m in class with Iruma!” Clara cheered.

“What do you think Master has been talking about this whole time, huh?” Asmodeus angered that Clara wasn’t listening.

“Oh, I’m not in the same class as you, Iruma!” Eiko gasped falling on her knees.

“Are you okay, Eiko?” Gaako worried.

“I will be, I guess.” Eiko said.

“Don’t worry, Eiko. We can still hang out together between classes and lunch together too.” Iruma assured lifting Eiko’s spirit up.

Iruma, Asmodeus, and Clara walks into the First-Year Tower trying to see which way is their classroom until a yellow magic arrow came for leading them to their class, Iruma peek at some of the classrooms seeing how everything look nice.

“(I know this is a demon school, but it seems pretty normal. I didn’t really get to go to school before, so I’m looking forward to it.)” Iruma thought excited.

The trio continue following the arrow that led them outside again from the tower and the yellow arrow show them a cave where they find Bachiko waiting for them.

“Hey mom, what are you doing here?” Iruma asked.

“Just came to wish you luck, your classroom is downstairs.” Bachiko pointed at the staircase.

“An unground class.” Asmodeus surprised.

“I wonder how far down this is?” Clara asked.

“That classroom is in worse shape, but unfortunately it’s the only classroom available for the Misfits and be careful with the garbage.” Bachiko warned.

“Garbage?” Iruma shocked.

“Yeah, the dumpster is further back but most demons are too lazy to take it all the way. Don’t worry, I took care of them.” Bachiko said.

“Oh, thank you very much, you’re the best mom!” Iruma complimented causing Bachiko’s heart to race again.

“Y-Yeah, sure. Just follow my arrow to your classroom.” Bachiko said.

“Your arrows, like the ones at the tower?” Iruma asked.

“Yeah, I made those. Now get going.” Bachiko walked away.

With that, the trio of friends went down the staircase following the yellow arrow to the large door as the arrow disappears once they arrive and they are awestruck to see this large door.

“We’re coming in!” Clara pushed Iruma forward to go in first.

Then suddenly a bunch of weapons are shot from big demon skulls flying downward at Iruma to pierce at him making the boy panic, thank goodness for his body to have Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability for dodging everything and that he has zero attack powers.

All the while the students who are already in the classroom are impress and clapping their hands.

“Nicely done.” One demon said standing on his tail.

“Brilliant.” One very tall demon girl complimented.

“No wonder he’s the honor student.” One owl demon amazed.

“I like to see that again.” One demon with white furred face said.

“Suffering makes a real man out of you.” One lion face demon stated.

“You re so cool!” Clara complimented.

Iruma is confused of what just happened and some of the students talking something about a bet.

“You there! What in the world do you think you’re doing?” Asmodeus demanded.

“Come on, we’re just having some fun.” One male demon said.

“Yeah, we bet on how many times he gets hit.” The yellow-haired demon revealed.

“(So, this is the Misfit Class? I almost died just setting foot in here.)” Iruma thought shocked.

“Man, you’re the first guy who ever dodge them all.” The yellow-haired demon kid said.

“Though if you can believe it, there was someone who manage to catch all of them.” The tall demon girl mentioned.

“Catch them all… What?” Asmodeus confused as did Iruma.

“Absurd!” One demon student, wearing a red cape, showed him as a taller and muscular demon student and weapons literally on his body, but he isn’t fazed by the pain at all.

“I would never dodge them, how cowardly.” The tall male demon proclaimed.

“He caught them all!” Iruma and Asmodeus gasped.

“Wow, you’re huge!” Clara commented.

The tall male demon flexes his muscles to pop the weapons right off his body and caught one in his left hand.

“That’s right, I, the Great Sabnock Sabro, am strong enough to be worthy of becoming the Demon King!” Sarbo proclaimed.

“(Demon King, I think mom mentioned about this once.)” Iruma thought tried to remember.

The Demon King, the mornach who rules over the NetherRealm and all its inhabitants. However, the Demon King’s throne has set empty for ages.

“Listen well, honor student, I will become Yodh and then the Demon King.” Sabro said though Iruma became confused.

“Also, this is very important, thou shall kneel before me when I become Yodh.” Sabro smirked.

“Sorry, what’s this about “thou” and becoming a Yodh? I don’t get it.” Iruma asked.

“Thou mean you, I mean me, as for Yodh, is the highest Demon Rank.” Sabro answered.

There are ten known ranks of demons and the Highest of which is Yodh. The Demon King, ruler of the Netherworld, is settled from among the Yodh.

“The Demon King is the most powerful of all demons. Therefore, the one king to rule them all will be me!” Sabro bragged.

“He’s so big! He’s like a mountain!” Clara said, not really paying attention to what Sabro is going on.

“But I have to raise in rank first, meaning any who rank above me, I despise with the fury of a thousand suns!’ Sabro crushed the sword he was holding easily.

“Comments like that one and fighting teachers is why you ended up in this class.” The yellow-haired demon stated.

“Oh yeah, you made the school paper.” One demon showed the school paper of Sabro beating a teacher.

“I figured the quickest way to raise the rank was to defeat a teacher, so I did it.” Sabro explained while Clara try measuring his height.

“Oh, I see.” Iruma said not sure about all this.

“What do you mean “I see?”” Sabro asked leaning closer to Iruma.

“You never heard of Yodh, and you call yourself a demon or son of a War Hero!” Sabro yelled scaring Iruma, but Asmodeus steps in between them.

“That enough big talk from you.” Asmodeus defended Iruma.

“If it isn’t Asmodeus, the top of the class. I heard you even summoned Gorgon Snake as your Familiar.” Sabro recalled.

“Indeed.” Alice said honest.

“That’s nice, but I summoned a Kelpie which has more legs than yours. So, too bad, mine wins!” Sabro bragged.

“What kind of reasoning is that?!” Alice yelled of something like that.

“But of course, the moment you became the honor student’s slave, you no longer qualify to be my rival. So sorry.” Sabro mocked.

“Who would want a title like that? And for your information, I’m not Master Iruma’s slave. It’s more like his… I am his friend!” Alice declared proud and loud.

This leaves the other demon students confuse of what is a “Friend” since demons don’t really know what that word means, only Alice and Clara know what that means when Iruma explained to them yesterday.

“Yay for Friendship!” Clara cheered.

“I’ll enlighten you.” Alice chuckled.

“It’s okay, I’m sure nobody’s interested. Really.” Iruma tried to prevent something embarrassing from happening.

“Friends spent time together and share in each other’s joys and sorrows. And form a blood pact to seal their loyalty and willingness to die for one another!” Alice explained dramatically loud and literally glow of a bright light.

“Wow, he turns that into such a production!” Iruma surprised.

“This is friendship?” Sabro asked while being blinded by the light.

“No way, it’s working?” Iruma shocked.

The students started to think about wanting to be friends with Iruma and perhaps each other until a teacher came in, and it’s Kalego.

“Be silence!” Kalego shouted and caught the weapons flying at him with his magic.

“I can hear you from outside. Why can’t you all just be quiet?” Kalego asked angry.

“It’s Professor Kalego!” Iruma gasped.

“Hey there, Eggie-teach! Are you in charge here?” Clara asked.

“Yes, no thanks to you lots. The other day, I was framed because of a certain somebody and in my absence, I was appointed at this class’s teacher.” Kalego explained while glaring at Iruma.

“(I can’t bring myself to look at him in the eyes.)” Iruma thought exclaimed as Kalego is still extremely mad at him for the Familiar Incident.

Kalego told everyone to sit down and once they are all seated, he summons a small teacher book in his hand to start the roll call.

“Agares Picero.”

Agares wears the typical school uniform but does not wear a tie and leaves his blazer unbuttoned. His sleeves are either longer than normal or simply too long for his arms, reaching to his knuckles. Under his coat is what seems like a buttoned-up pajama shirt with sleeves reaching farther than his coat. He doesn't wear any shoes, revealing his white socks. He also wears an eye mask with fake eyes which move. He also has pointy ears, fangs that sometimes stick out, hair that is curly on the ends.

Agares just yawn in response.

“Asmodeus Alice.”

“Sir.” Alice bowed.

“Allocer Schneider.”

Allocer is a demon with the appearance of a lion with yellow fur with bits of brown at the tip of his ears, and a golden mane in spikes. He has black eyes with a notably vacant and blank stare and his mouth is always open, showing several sharp teeth.

“I’m a learning machine.” Allocer readied for class.

“Andro M. Jazz.”

He is of average height, has short black hair, and has both ears pierced. On his hands, he wears gold rings. His outfit is a tattered black shirt underneath the boys' Babylus jacket and pants uniform.

“Yo.” Jazz greeted.

“Ix Elizabetta.”

Elizabetta is a tall, female demon student. She has long blonde hair, which is tied back in a ponytail and decorated with a large pink bow. Two shorter curls frame her face. She has two long, slender horns alongside the typical pointed demon ears. She has pale skin and red eyes. She has a very long and prominent tail which ends in a red heart and decorated with a pink ribbon. Elizabetta wears a more provocative version of the freshman female school uniform. This includes a cropped white blouse with puffed sleeves and pink stitching, as well as a cat-eye clasp at her throat. It is decorated by a pink ribbon. A pink and purple strappy camisole is layered on top. The white blouse ends just below her chest, much shorter than typical and her camisole ends soon after. She wears a pink, layered frilly skirt, ending mid-thigh. Two straps, possibly underwear of some kind, are wrapped around her torso, just below the waist. A decorative purple cuff is worn just above her right knee. Her shoes are enclosed pink mid-heel slip on.

“Here.” Elizabetta responded.

“Clara Valac.”

“Here I am, Eggie-Teach!” Clara raised her hands in the air like she just doesn’t care.

“That nickname dies right now.” Kalego declared before going back to roll calls.

“Caim Kamui.” But no respond as the owl demon is perverted staring at Elizabetta.

Kamui’s somewhat bird-like, with a beak, wing-like hands, and a general bird-like fluffiness to his head and body. His ears are comparatively cat-like, and he has two small horns on top of his head.

“Caim Kamui, are you here?” Kalego asked firmly getting his attention.

“Uh, here!” Kamui quickly answered.

“Gaap Goemon.”

Gaap wears the typical school uniform at Babylus except that he doesn't have the complete bow tie (having only the button-like demon eye ornament), nor the side pockets. He also has a belt-like strip of cloth along his waist where he keeps his sword. His collar is folded, and his coat is longer than the standard, almost reaching his knees. His hair is silver and looks very close to Kerori's natural hair color. His skin also seems to be of the same color.

“You’re looking at him.” Gaap raised his hand.

“Crocell Kerori.”

Kerori has white hair, and her horns are small and black, peeking out from beneath her hair. She the Babyls female school uniform and large, round spectacles.

“H-Here.” Kerori responded shy.

“Shax Lied.”

Shax wears the typical boy's uniform at Babylus, except he doesn't wear the bow tie leading to it being wide open. His coat is also shorter, being just above his waist. He wears a pair of yellow earrings, a yellow undershirt with a wavy black design on the bottom, and slightly off-white shoes. His ears are pointy, the color of his eyes are purple and are usually narrowed, and he has yellow hair that has black jagged patterns. He also has what looks like a horn broken into 3 pieces, shaped like triangles. One pair is stuck to his hair while the rest are levitating and facing away from each other.

“Yeah, okay. Here, here.” Shax said while playing his video game which annoys Kalego.

“Sabnock Sabro.”

“Cool.” Sabro grinned.

“Purson Soi.”

Soi is a lean tall demon who has a bowl-cut style white-colored hair. He also has a pair of miniature-sized black horns on his head and has pointy ears. His skin tone is very light. His tiny bat wings are shown.

Soi just sat at his seat quietly.

“And Iruma.” Kalego finished.

“Now let us begin class.” Kalego said not letting Iruma respond.

“All of you, outside now! You troublemaking idiots, we’re starting the process to determine your ranks.” Kalego announced.

“Wait, our ranks?” Iruma confused.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma has entered and become part of the Misfit class seeing the name fits as he was introduced to his classmates, and now he will be facing a test to determine his ranks as he will see that it’s more dangerous than he thought.

Chapter Text

Ranking Race of Danger and Healing Blood

The Misfit Class are following Kalego from the classroom to the teleport elevators that teleported them to the stony platform as he told them the test will be a race to the end of the valley.

“Your race will be determined by the Familiar summoning exam given previously along with this race. The goal is to reach the flag at peak covered in mist far beyond this valley before your classmates do.” Kalego explained.

This made the demon students, mostly on Iruma to gasp in shock of this kind of extreme exam they’ll be doing while wondering he will survive this.

“Here’s the course’s layout description.” Kalego snapped his fingers making the cute and adorable explain guide much to his annoyance.

“Here’s how the course will go! It’ll be more time consuming, but you can take the relaxing route through Warbling Valley or the Cutthroat Valley though there are many dangers and traps along the way. Beware, the mountains are vast and dangerous, and the demon birds will protect their nests at call cost.” The cute heart demon explained.

“Cutthroat Valley is shorter, but the unfortune tradeoff that it could outright end your life.” Alice stated.

“Sounds like it.” Iruma nodded.

“Okay then, let’s get” Kalego stepped onto the guide screen hard with his foot showing the students he still hates it.

“The breakdown is done.” Kalego said.

“The only way to get through this like a boss is Cutthroat Valley.” Sabro smirked, believing he can get through it.

“Too bad, this year Warbling Valley is the sol option.” Kalego said much to Sabro’s shock.

“For real, but why?” Sabro asked.

“Regrading of Cutthroat Valley’s Guardian has been in a mood lately.” Kalego mentioned.

“It has a guardian?” Iruma asked.

“That’s right, it’s an enormous magical beast that rules over the area.” Kalego mentioned as Iruma becomes scared.

“That’s why it is strictly off limit. We can’t guarantee your safety.” Kalego stated.

“Forget that I’m going in there otherwise what’s the point of even going in there.” Sabro refused to accept this race if it isn’t dangerous enough for him.

“Oh, tough talk.” Kalego said and snaps his fingers having the gates open.

“Ready all of you.” Kalego shouted.

Iruma became very nervous as he looks around seeing his classmates spreading their wings big and wide as they are getting ready for the race and thought about quickly telling Professor Kalego about his “wings accident” before it’s too late.

“And now, go!” Kalego started the race.

Too late.

And the whole Misfit class flew off with a fast start with some strong winds created by the strong flaps of their wings, and that also causes Iruma to be weirdly roll like a ball at the very edge of the ledge, but he was able stop himself.

“Okay, now I just need to” Iruma suddenly felt a hand pushing him off, and that hand was Kalego.

“Get moving.” Kalego ordered and turns around to the elevator.

“Wait, sir!” Iruma screamed trying to tell his teacher that he can’t fly, but it was too late and saw some demon birds below him.

(With Bachiko)

Backiko is seen walking around the school for her usually patrol and then her mind went to thinking about Iruma.

“By now, the ranking race should start about now. I wonder if that idiot Kalego even read the letter I wrote about Iruma not being able to fly.” Bachiko recalled writing the letter about the lie she came up for Iruma in case anyone ask about his wings.

“Oh, Miss Barbatos.” Morax called out as she walks over to her.

“Huh, what do you want?” Bachiko asked.

“Well, it just the letter you gave to Professor Kalego before classes start, he threw it away.” Morax informed.

“WHAT?!” Bachiko screamed in rage scaring Morax.

“That idiot! That letter said that Iruma went through an accident at the cost of both his wings.” Bachiko exclaimed angry and pinching the bridge of her nose.

“Wait, accident, I don’t understand?” Morax confused.

“Look, short story is that Iruma lost his wings, and he can’t fly like the other demons.” Bachiko mentioned.

“Can’t fly? Oh no, then Iruma could be in very danger with the ranking race, hoping he doesn’t go to Cutthroat Valley with the Guardian being aggressive lately.” Morax said causing a tick mark to appear on Bachiko’s head.

“I swear, if I find out that my son is dead then he’s the one gonna be begging for death!” Bachiko threatened unleashing her fierce demonic pink aura.

“N-Now, now, I’m sure Professor Kalego will know of that right away and take him out of the race, but that would also mean that Iruma won’t get his rank.” Morax stated.

“Damn it, he better hopes Iruma survived before I go see him!” Bachiko growled.

“(Iruma, please be okay or else you’re grounded for worrying me to death.)” Bachiko thought worried as she looks out the window, and march away.

“Huh, where are you going?” Morax asked.

“Duh, where else? I find that ass Kalego and give him a piece of my mind.” Bachiko answered angry.

“Oh dear, I hope she doesn’t hurt my Kalego too badly.” Morax worried, then quickly cover her mouth upon realizing what she just said blushing of embarrassment.

Morax looks around that there is no one around, knowing that she let out a sign of relief.

(With Alice)

Alice is seen flying fast through course with graceful speed being way ahead of his classmates then dodges some needle attacks from some vicious plants, then burn them down with his summon creatures.

“Nicely done.” Alice said to his summon creature before unsummoning him.

“Wowie! One more time! One more time!” Clara laughed exciting and appeared to be riding right onto Alice’s back.

“Hey, get off! When did you…?” Alice gasped upon seeing his annoying “friend” on his back wondering how did she get on him.

“Oh well, you see right from the very beginning I hitched a ride on your back and then I…” Clara explained but paused.

“What? Did you get bored or something?” Alice asked glaring, then saw someone flying fast past them.

“Is that… Sabnock?” Alice identified the flyer.

“Where is he going?” Alice wondered, but then recalled how Sabro wanted to go to a certain valley to prove that he is better and other nonsense.

“Oh no, don’t tell me, he better not be…” Alice realized what Sabro is planning to do.

“Come on, Azz-Azz, why are you flying so slow?” Clara asked wanting him to go faster.

But suddenly they got caught in some veins because Alice didn’t look where he was going, and Clara was obviously too distracted for the fun of it.

“Help me, Azz-Azz, you’re my only hope!” Clara giggled.

“Don’t thrash! And let go of my neck!” Alice yelled trying to break out, only for the veins to snap and they fell.

One Devi-Bat camera is sleeping onto the split-up sign with one direction leading to Warbling Valley while the other sign has an “X” telling others not to enter Cutthroat Valley, but Sabro ignored the sign breaking it and waking up the Dev-Bat camera.

“That way is not safe! Danger!” The Devi-Bat camera alerted to the other Dev-Bats with Kalego right now.

(With Kalego)

“So, Sabnock went there after all. Every year, there are always one numskull.” Kalego sighed.

“Well, it we’re lucky, we can at least retrieve an arm or leg. On the bright side, I don’t mind having one imbecilic to worry about.” Kalego erased Sabro’s name from the student list with his magic.

(With Sabro)

Sabro is seen fighting against the powerful pushing him back again and again, but the blonde and tall demon boy wouldn’t back down no matter what nor how dangerous it is.

“(This is how it’s supposed to be. Cutthroat Valley maybe more dangerous than anything, but it’s still the best shortcut and that is why anyone who dreams of becoming the Demon King goes through Cutthroat Valley to earn their ranks. Who cares about some guardian.)” Sabro thought believed strongly and being stubborn too.

“I will crush the beast myself.” Sabro proclaimed as he flies through the harshest wind.

“I will begin my military rule of Demon King from this valley.” Sabro stated, now seen climbing up a dangerous waterfall.

Sabro is even being pulled in by a sucking vortex pulling him into a cave though he managed to break free from it, then climb up a mountain and begun flying again. But unknown to Sabro, he just flew past a giant furry creature with red eyes and spread its wings to go after the young demon student for trespassing while leaving a smaller bird creature behind.

(With Kalego)

“Alrighty, I wonder where did that other insufferable idiot who started late went.” Kalego flipped through the De-monitor channels trying to find Iruma, but nothing on the screens.

“The De-monitors must have lost track of him.” Kalego said.

(With Iruma)

Iruma appears to be safe and sound, but not exactly safe and sound as he is being carried off by a demon crow with its break grabbing onto the back of his shirt.

Allow me to explain what happened. After being pushed off the cliff by Professor Kalego, Iruma caught the curious attention of some demon crows while he was falling. There was a brief but intense battle, and now they made him their quarry.

“(That’s right, humans are consider a delicacy in the demon world. I hope he savors every last bit at least.)” Iruma thought, but then his mind went to thinking about his mom.

“Oh yeah, would be very furious if she saw me letting myself getting eaten by these demon birds!” Iruma realized, feeling something strange going on from within himself.

This is the first Iruma had actually felt something strong within that he wanted to go see his adopted mother more than anything, to show her that he is okay and in one piece. That feeling is one of those certain drives to move a man forward no matter what.

“I am Iruma Barbatos, and I won’t be beaten by a giant feather ball with wings.” Iruma believed.

“I don’t know how, but I got to find a way to get out of this mess and finish the race.” Iruma said strongly.

Then there is a sudden crowing yell that spooked the demon crow making him fly away and dropping Iruma as he screams in fear.

(With Alice and Clara)

“Azz-Azz, there’s… There’s something I need to tell you.” Clara smiled while slowly being eaten by a vicious red plant and grabbing onto Alice’s uniform.

“You’re the best, thank you for everything. Don’t forget about me, okay?” Clara asked as only her grabbing hand is left out.

“Let go of me, would you!” Alice shouted of annoyance and makes a fire sword to slice the moving veins down and the plant monster, ironically freeing Clara as well.

“Oh, hey Azz-Azz. I came back.” Clara smiled again like nothing major happened.

Alice sigh wondering why did he bother saving this bothersome idiot when he just could have leave her here, but then he realize that would Master Iruma sad if anything were to happen to Clara which he has no choice but to go along with this for as long as he can for his Master.

“Oh, now that I think about it. Master Iruma told me that he can’t fly because of how he lost his wings, perhaps we should go look for him consider that’s what these friends’ things would do.” Alice said, but then stop him.

“No, I’m sure that Master Iruma would want to pass this trial on his own and show everyone that a demon can get through anything with or without wings.” Alice believed strongly.

“However, if Master Iruma wants to make his way to the flag the faster even on foot then he would have to walk on Cutthroat Valley just like Sabnock did.” Alice stated.

“Time to jump back in the staddle and get moving!” Clara jumped back onto Alice’s back.

“GET OFF?!” Alice yelled in rage, but Clara ignores him again.

He honestly can’t understand why Master Iruma would ever let this annoying creature accompany him every day like this.

(With Iruma)

Iruma screams loudly while wishing he won’t land on some rocks, which came true when he landed on something soft that broke his fall but notice something about what he landed on feels a little twiggy for some reason.

“Uh, this looks like a nest.” Iruma guessed, then picked up a skull making him gasp.

“Wait, is this…?” Iruma feared of what this might be, then a large shadow roams over him.

Fearing of what that might be, Iruma didn’t want to turn around though he didn’t want to die without knowing what that is, so he turns around and saw a big demon bird with white feathers and a mark on its forehead looking down on the human boy with viciousness in the eyes.

“Yep… I’m dead.” Iruma gulped as he went pale.

The demon bird screeches in rage at Iruma slowly approaching him.

“AH! It’s gonna eat me!” Iruma braced himself for the worst, but the demon bird didn’t approach him more as he fell over.

This confuses Iruma as the demon bird kept screeching though notice that it wasn’t anger at him this time, but it sounded more like the big feathery creature is in pain and his guess was right when he saw a big cut on its right leg.

“Oh, you’re hurt.” Iruma pointed at the wound, then the demon bird screeches at him again.

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” Irum apologized.

“I get it now; you’re scared because you’re injured. But how can I help you?” Iruma tried to think of something to help ease the demon bird’s pain.

Iruma looks around and saw a sharp stone in the nest, picking it up as he got an idea and the demon bird though he was going to attack it.

“It’s okay, just watch.” Iruma said and cut him which hurts surprising the demon bird.

Iruma see that the demon bird is watching him carefully which is what he needed and took out a cloth from his pocket, ripping it a little and wrap it around on his injured hand.

“You see, I want to do the same for you. Can I?” Iruma asked showing the cloth wrapped on his left hand.

It would seem the demon bird has understood the boy’s intention on helping him as it looks at Iruma’s eyes, then sat down and extend its right leg forward for Iruma to see.

“Thanks for the trust.” Iruma smiled and petting the break.

“Just a sec, let me tear off some fabric.” Iruma started to unwrap the cloth.

While doing that, a tiny piece of blood from the cut of his hand fell from the cloth and right inside the wound then suddenly the leg is all healed up in an instant surprising both him and the demon bird.

“It’s healed, how did that happen?” Iruma asked as the demon bird lift its leg to see it closer for itself.

“Wow, I can’t believe it! It really is all better now!” Iruma amazed that he was somehow able to heal the demon bird and realize something.

“(So, apparently humans have healing powers in the NetherRealm and with just a drop of blood. Maybe humans are more valuable here than I thought.)” Iruma thought surprised at this fact he just learned.

He looks up seeing the demon bird is happy with its leg being all better now.

“I’m so happy for you.” Iruma smiled.

Then suddenly the demon bird looks at him fiercely and lean forward.

“H-Hold, I just saved your life! Can’t you let me live!” Iruma begged scared, then the demon bird snuggle on his face being all friendly now.

“Aw, you’re gonna let me live. Thank you.” Iruma relieved that he is not going to get eaten today, then the demon bird tosses him up and onto its back.

“Oh, you’re giving me a ride?” Iruma asked, and he got the answer when the demon bird is flying off from the nest and headed in one direction.

“Wow, this is great! Looks like I’m gonna make it through this race no problem.” Iruma excited.

Or so he thought.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The Ranking Race had begun and Iruma had a more rocky start than everyone else as he couldn’t fly, but it would seem he has made friends with the demon bird and is giving him a ride though it won’t be heading for the flag at the end of the valley.

Chapter Text

Guardian Tamed with a Gold Ring After

Sabro charges in for a straightforward attack only to be smacked away by the giant furry creature from earlier, and his body screams in pain as he just felt another attack from the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley.

“So, I was right… I am going to die.” Sabro groaned as he got back up and look at the Guardian.

“(The Guardian of Cutthroat Valley, guess it’s no surprise as it certainly lives up to its name.)” Sabro thought commented.

Even when he knew that death is going to claim him soon, he wouldn’t give up the fight without giving this his all and got up on his feet then bite on one of the metal accessories on his necklace, then a big browse axe appeared.

Sabnock’s Bloodline Ability: Weapn Creation. He can create weapons from whatever material he’s chomping on.

“(Failure is NOT an option! I must become the Demon King at any cost!)” Sabro thought determined as he charges at the Guardian again.

But why exactly is Sabro so obese with becoming the Demon King and would even go through great length to even welcome death to prove his worth.

Was it because of some destiny his father told him?

Was it because of a challenge made with his older brother to see who can ascend to the throne?

Was it because of his little sister being sickly weak and ask him to become the Demon King?

The answer is… None of them at all.

“None of that actually happened! It’s all a lie! My older brother is a pacifist, and my little sister is just fine!” Sabro shouted as he slashes as the Guardian, but the attack did nothing to it.

“I wanted to become the Demon King for only one reason… Because of all the things I could be, that one is the coolest!” Sabro shouted his reason.

“Because I was born a demon, the coolest thing I could do is stand at the top.” Sabro believed as he threw his broken axe away and created a large silver sword from the silver piece.

Sabro charges in attacking fierce and strong though no damage onto the magical beast as the body is too strong and knocked Sabro down with his sword being thrown in the air, the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley walk towards him as the sword bounces off its head.

“I won’t… I won’t do it…” Sabro refused to back down, suddenly having memories of his father working at the blacksmith shop.

“I won’t become a weak, pathetic, toothless demon like him who never starves to better himself.” Sabro mocked his father and forcing him to get back up.

“I am proud of myself, I have zero regrets, my ambition has brought me all the way out here.” Sabro said.

“Yes, I will see my resolve through right to the bitter end!” Sabro shouted the Guardian is about to strike at him for the kill.

“Please, hang on!” But suddenly Iruma appeared in front of Sabro defending him.

“Iruma! What are thou doing?” Sabro asked surprise.

Sabro tries to move Iruma out of the way, but the blue-haired boy refuse despite the superior strength of his classmate until they notice the claw of the Guardian stops and look up seeing the small demon bird Iruma was riding on is talking to the giant beast.

“I said what are thou doing?” Sabro asked again and grabbing Iruma’s head.

“What do you mean? You looked like you were in trouble, so I wanted to save you.” Iruma explained, even though he was scared of doing that.

“Could that be the child of the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley?” Sabro asked.

“This is the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley? And that its child?” Iruma shocked.

While Iruma was trying to talk to the Guardian telling it that the child is okay, Sabro quietly grab his sword to attack it again.

“Don’t worry, we’re not going to hurt you. Right?” Iruma asked Sabro seeing him with his sword.

“What are thou saying? This is our chance to…” Sabro looked at Iruma’s gently face and the smile, not sure why but for some season he should listen to Iruma of not attacking. And so, he dropped his sword.

Seeing this as the two are even showing the willingness of surrender, the Guardian bows at the two and the child does the same on top of its parent’s head.

“The Guardian, it’s bowing!” Sabro surprised.

“Aw, honestly you’re too kind. No problem, I’m happy for you.” Iruma smiled.

“(So, this is the Honor Student, Iruma Barbatso. What an unbelievable demon!)” Sabro thought astounded of Iruma managing to tame the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley.

“Okay, now we should be getting back to the race, but how do we get there exactly?” Iruma wondered.

“My wings were damage from my fight with the Guardian, why are not flying there yourself?” Sabro asked.

“Oh, well, you see I got into an accident years ago and lost both of my wings.” Iruma answered shocking Sabro.

Then the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley got both boys’ attention and gesture its claws to them then pointed at its back.

“Oh, you’re going to give us a ride! That’s great!” Iruma amazed and shocked to Sabro.

“Alright, now we should be able to make it back no problem.” Iruma smiled.

“If thou think it’s a good idea, then I will go along with it.” Sabro decided to accept that this might be fate.

(With Bachiko)

Bachiko is seen flying at high-speed head through the end of the valley through another path that only she knows, discovered it by accident when she went to the valleys for some target practice once upon a time. She bares a really angry face that she is going to show to a certain strict teacher of what happens when you mess with a mother’s child, then her eyes widen upon spotting Kalego with all the other students who have made it except for Iruma, and Clara is playing with the flag pole calling out to Iruma.

Bachiko made an epic landing so hard that it almost caused the stony platform tilt though only by the tiniest bit, but she did cause a big shake.

“What, Lady Barbatso?” Alice surprise to see her here.

“Hi there, Pinky Mama!” Clara greeted.

“Whoa, check it out!” Jazz whispered to his classmates.

“That’s Iruma’s mom, what is she doing here?” Shaxx shocked.

“I guess she must want to see what kind of ranking Iruma will get.” Elizabetta guessed.

“Acknowledge from parents are always important for the children.” Allocer stated.

“Kalego!” Bachiko stomped toward Kalego with a fury.

“What do you want? Shouldn’t you be at the school right now?” Kalego asked.

“Not until I know I where my son is right now?” Bachiko said angry.

“Don’t know, he probably got eaten along the way.” Kalego shrugged, not caring about the boy for obvious reason.

“YOU IDIOT! You should have read the letter that Iruma can’t fly!” Bachiko shouted in rage right into Kalego’s ear.

“Wait, Iruma can’t fly?” Kerori asked Clara and Alice.

“Correct, Master Iruma went through an accident that he lost both his wings and has been unable to fly since.” Alice explained shocking the other students.

“Oh my, that means Iruma is in real deep trouble.” Elizabeta worried.

“Guess that explains why he didn’t fly off from the start, even when I pushed him off a cliff.” Kalego said out loud.

Bachiko heard this and her pink demonic aura spiked and grew about twice her size frightening the other students, she took out a small piece of stick with a flower on it then use her mana to turn that little stick into a beautiful and fierce bow aiming an arrow right at Kalego.

“You dare push my little blue boy off a cliff, you better hope he’s still alive or else Babyls will have to lose a teacher this year.” Bachiko threatened as her eyes glow frightening too.

Kalego quickly brought out his Bloodline Ability: Cerberion with all three heads growling at Bachiko ready for whatever the shorty pink woman will throw at him, except he soon discovered that she had already attack with his whole right sleeve gone and a small cut wound appeared on his cheek.

“You certainly live up to your reputation as a war hero, Bachiko Barbatos.” Kalego complimented with a serious, straight face.

“I have to say, that’s a say power you got there. But that is still nothing, a puppy compared to what I can do.” Bachiko glared.

“You’re really trying to test my patients, are you?” Kalego growled a bit.

“That depends if your bark is worse than your bite.” Bachiko mocked.

“Oh man, it looks like we’re about to have a showdown!” Gaap gasped.

“Can they do it quiet, I’m trying to sleep.” Agares yawned.

“Okay, who wants to make some betting.” Jazz offered.

“Don’t you think we should stop this?” Kerori asked worry.

As if her worry was answered, a strong gust of wing came out of nowhere forcing the two teachers Babylus to stop the fight before it could even happen, they turn to the direction the wind is coming from and their eyes widen of shock upon seeing what’s going.

“Hey, isn’t that…” Bachiko paused.

“The Guardian of Cutthroat Valley?” Kalego shocked.

“Huh, that’s the Guardian?” Alice asked.

“But why would it leave the valley and come here?” Kalego wondered.

“I think you should take a look on its back.” Bachiko pointed at.

Everyone sees Iruma and Sabro are both riding on the back of the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley as the former waves at them, the students are completely shocked as Alice is amazed of Iruma doing another impossible feat. And seeing the two students alive, Kalego put their names back in the student list.

Iruma and Sabro jump off the Guardian as it flies back to the nest with its child.

“Thank you, take care!” Iruma waved goodbye.

“IRUMA!” Bachiko shouted and jumped right onto Iruma giving a squeezing hug.

“M-Mom, what are you doing here?” Iruma asked surprise.

“You idiot, I thought something bad happened to you. I’m really glad you’re safe.” Bachiko sobbed a bit with a smile.

Iruma then smiles back returning the hug to his mother.

“Though I am a little disappointed that you came in last place.” Bachiko said making Iruma chuckle.

Everything has settled down, Iruma and Sabro are forced by Kalego to sit on their knees in the last place corner each carrying signs around their necks. Iruma’s sign says “Reflecting” and Sabro’s is “I won’t break my promise again” while Bachiko is standing by since she got here, she might as well see what rank Iruma will get before heading back.

“I will now announce your ranks.” Kalego said and a white owl flew onto his arm. With his uniform fully repaired.

“This creature here is a Rank Owl, during this test, he was watching and observing your every move.” Kalego introduced.

“There sure are a lot of birds today.” Shaxx commented.

“Yeah, Happy Bird Day!” Elizabeta giggled.

“Don’t forget that other little bird.” Jazz joked.

“As I was saying!” Kalego glared at Jazz who quickly shut his mouth up.

“If you reach into the pocket on his belly, he’ll give you your ranking badge that looks like this.” Kalego demonstrated and the students became intrigued, and he turns to Iruma and Sabro.

“Since you filth came in last, you will be last to get rank.” Kalego said.

Iruma understood with a slight nod thought Sabro growls a bit, and then Clara started throwing tiny rocks at Sabro.

“You suck!” Clara mocked.

“Let that be a lesson to you. Enjoy the mockery and being pelted with tiny rocks.” Kalego smirked.

“So spiteful!” Sabro angered.

“Alright, line up in single file.” Kalego said.

“This mortifying.” Sabro said feeling the humiliation.

“Well, it could have been worst. At least we weren’t expelling for coming back with the Guardian.” Iruma pointed out.

“You got that right, if you two had come later then Kalego might have lost more than his sleeve.” Bachiko said making Iruma sweatdrop.

“Wish I could have seen that. But the looks on their faces were a sight to behold.” Sabro smirked.

“You were stupid, you know that. You warn about Cutthroat Valley and the Guardian, yet you went there to prove yourself even willing to die, you can’t really do anything if your dead.” Bachiko scolded the tall demon boy.

“I believe thou are right. This was not something I could have accomplish on my own, your son has proven more than I could have imagined.” Sabro admitted and turns to Iruma.

“Allow me to show thee my sincerest gratitude for I am no match for Iruma Barbatso.” Sabro bowed.

“I would like to apology for my rudeness, for art thou amazing and even more so when you have not used your Bloodline Ability at all.” Sabro said.

“(Oh yeah, come to think of it. I don’t know what mom’s Bloodline Ability is.)” Iruma thought realized.

“So today, I formerly dub thee my rival!” Sabro declared.

“I’m… your rival!” Iruma shocked.

“Well, well, you really made a big impact on the guy.” Bachiko grinned.

“Let us compete for the Demon King’s throne!” Sabro smirked.

Iruma is not entirely sure what to make of this and never really had anything like a rival before, he hopes that he doesn’t have to do anything too dangerous again.

Everyone form the line and Alice went in first, getting his badge revealing his rank to be the 4th, Dalet.

“Whoa, he got Dalet!” Gaap shocked.

“No wonder he’s head of the whole class.” Shaxx impressed as the other students are shocked as well.

“Most first-years are usually Alpeh or Bet at most.” Caim stated.

Demons are rank between one and ten. The lower the number, the weaker they are, and so higher numbers mean greater power.

“(Not surprising consider what family he’s from and his mother being one of the Thirteen Crowns.)” Bachiko thought figured.

Then the other students got their badges: Jazz, Gimel (3). Kerori, Bet (2). Purson, Bet (2). Surprisingly for Clara, she got Gimel too.

“Wait, wait, wait, WAIT! How in the world could you be a Gimel, this cannot be!” Alice refused to accept this fool has a high rank.

“Bow down to me!” Clara ordered showing off her badge.

“My ranking is higher than yours, fool!” Alice showed his badge.

“Well, she did place second. Apparently, luck is a skill too.” Kalego guessed and Alice groans that something unbelievable could happen while Clara admires her rank badge.

The other students went on getting their badge: Elizabeta, Alpeh. Shaxx, Alpeh. Allocer, Alpeh. Agares, Alpeh. Caim, Alpeh. Gaap, Alpeh.

Sabro finally got his turn to claim his badge, and the ranking he got is the second lowest rank, Bet.

“Are you kidding me, Sabnock got Bet?” Gaap surprised.

“I assumed he would have rank higher.” Elizabeta said.

“Especially with all the teachers he fought for it.” Jazz added.

“Yeah, but he came in last in the race.” Shaxx pointed out.

“(Bet, huh? Very well, after nearly dying mere moments ago, this won’t set me back. I’ll be climbing the ranks to becoming Demon King.)” Sabro thought smiled, seeing this as an opportunity to grow.

“Okay Iruma, it’s your turn to get a rank. Just know I’m okay with whatever you got, hold your badge with pride.” Bachiko smiled.

“You got it, mom.” Iruma nodded before walking to the rank owl.

Iruma’s classmate wonders what rank he’s gonna get, probably a high rank like Alice or maybe He (5).

“(Sabnock’s so incredible, he actually has a dream for the future. Meanwhile, what’s my future going to look like here in the NetherRealm?)” Iruma thought asked himself.

Not wanting to hesitate, he put his hand into the pocket belly of the Rank Owl.

“You guys think he’ll put out something weird again?” Jazz asked chuckle.

“Like another bird familiar?” Shaxx joked.

“Silence!” Kalego angered.

“Unlikely, the Rank Owl is absolute with its decision on the ranking. Never making a fuss once.” Bachiki stated.

Then suddenly the Rank Owl started yelling in panicking fear shocking everyone including Kalego and Bachiko as the owl flew away.

“Wait! But I didn’t get my badge yet!” Iruma called out, then notice everyone staring at him weirdly.

“Iruma, sir.” Alice shocked.

“Iruma-Kin, what’s on your hand?” Clara asked.

Iruma is confused of that question until he looks at his hand seeing a golden ring emitting a demonic dark aura.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The Ranking Race has ended with everyone getting their ranking badge, all except for Iruma as for some reason he got a golden ring from the Rank Owl though he will soon find out that the gold ring is more than what is seems.

Demon King Prophecy and Dark Hungry Ring

(Couple of Years Ago)

Bachiko is seen walking through the streets of the demonic city looking angry about something that had happened to her yet again.

“Damn it, who does that idiot think he is… quitting on me too soon when the Harvest Festival was about to begin. Idiot!” Bachiko angered that another student has decided to quit on her.

Barbatos Bachiko is task with training first-year students for one of hardest events in the school and planned on showing them the art of archery, and dedication of hard work. But every student she trained every year would always quit few days later, complaining that it was too hard and not worth the effort which upsets her a lot.

“All I wanted was to teach him something amazing that could have made him a greater demon.” Bachiko kicked a trashcan down.

But that kick has caused the lid to bounce off to a little demon girl holding a double scoop of ice-cream, the ice-creams were knocked down onto the ground and the little girl starts crying for her sweet being ruined.

Bachiko just looks at the little demon girl wanting to pretend nothing happened and walked away, but she could as the guilt within her wouldn’t allow this sadness to go on and worry for the child might go negative through her life as well.

“That girl didn’t deserve that.” Bachiko decided on what need to be done right now.

The little demon girl cry some more fearing that her mommy would never get her another scoop of ice-cream when she said just one.

“Here.” Bachiko held a triple scoop of ice-cream to the little demon girl getting her attention.

“I’m sorry for knocking down your ice-cream.” Bachiko apologized with her usual firm look.

“Thank you.” The little demon girl thanked and took the ice-cream.

“Hi sweetie, I’m here.” The mother demon walked up to the girl.

“Mommy, my ice-cream was knocked down and this lady got me new scoops.” The little demon girl explained.

“Really, that’s very nice of you.” The mother demon smiled.

“Shut up, I just didn’t want the kid to look down around me.” Bachiko said looking away.

“Well, I say you did quite well like a mother would do for her child.” The mother demon stated.

“As if I would be one, so much waste of time.” Bachiko brushed off the idea of being a mommy for a whiny baby.

“You may never know until you try.” The mother demon said as she and her daughter walk away.

“Bye-bye, pink lady.” The little demon girl waved goodbye.

“Just because I’m losing students doesn’t mean I’m desperate to have a kid of my own.” Bachiko decided to walk back to her home.

What Bachiko didn’t know at the time was that she was indeed going to become something she wasn’t planning on for her life, but something she would start to enjoy.

(Present)

After everyone in the Misfit Class got their rank badges, Iruma was the last to get his ranking badge from the owl when suddenly it went crazy and flew away giving Iruma a golden ring for some reason.

“A ring, but why would the Rank Owl give Iruma that instead of a badge?” Bachiko wondered.

Sabro on the other hand seem to be quite shocked of seeing that golden ring which reminds him of something he learned from his father long ago.

“The Demon King Prophecy Scroll?” Sabro started to remember that day about an important prophecy.

(Flashback)

The scene shows Sabro as a little boy sitting with his father in the library of their home and looking at an old looking scrolld.

“Hear me, son. The Demon King’s throne is currently empty, but the scroll will clearly predict the next Demon King with absolute certainty.” Sabro’s father believed strongly.

“What kind will it be?” Sabro asked.

“I’ll read it from the beginning.” Sabro’s father smiled and the son nods.

“He shall make one and all, his loyal servants. He shall form blood packs and heal all wounds to demon kind. He shall descend from a foreign land and wear the sacred golden ring of Solomon on his right hand.” The father read the prophecy scroll.

Little Sabro became amaze of this wondering if something like that will happen to him someday.

(Flashback End)

Sabro look at the golden ring that is one Iruma’s right hand and remembering the prophecy.

“I knew it! The golden sign of the Demon King, the Ring of Solomon!” Sabro shocked.

“Ring of Solomon? Does he mean the Demon King Prophecy?” Bachiko shocked of hearing that just now.

Iruma look at the ring as he isn’t sure if this is something that is a special case here in the demon school or something new and unexpected, maybe he’ll ask his mom if she knows something as he tries to pull the ring off only it won’t come off like it’s really stuck on his finger.

“What? Why won’t it come off?” Iruma confused.

“Little help here.” Iruma begged.

“Iruma, it looks like that ring came with something extra.” Bachiko alerted her adopted son.

Iruma look at the ring again seeing something strange like a black thing sticking out of the ring and trace to where the rest of that is, then found what appears to be a small shadow shaped like a miasma ghost.

“AAAAHH?!” Iruma screamed, panicking of the strange monster on his finger.

“You have to calm down, Iruma sir!” Alice advised.

“What the Hell is this thing! Why is it on my finger!” Iruma wondered in fear.

“No, I must be mistaken, I never heard of a gold ring producing black flames like this.” Sabro muttered to himself.

“(Then again, the scroll never mentions if the gold ring has any powers.)” Sabro thought.

“I don’t want it! I don’t want it!” Iruma runs around waving his right hand with the strange creature.

“Will you calm down!” Bachiko jumped at Iruma and stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

“Iruma, this is not the time to be freaking out like a little baby! We have to be calm and figure this out.” Bachiko stated.

The black creature goes up in the air a little and let out a powerful screeching roar that is hurting everyone’s ear.

“What the actual Hell!” Shax groaned.

“It’s like the worse death scream in the history of ever!” Gaap commented.

“Ow, my ears!” Jazz whined in pained.

And it isn’t just the Misfit Class that is suffering from the scream, the loud screaming from the black creature of the ring has reached all the way to Babylus as all the students and teachers are suffering the same pain except for Sullivan and Opera who aren’t bother by that scream though curious.

“Hey, are you guys alright?” Iruma asked.

“How are you not being affective by this?” Shax asked.

“Huh, I don’t know.” Iruma said being confused as well.

“It’s because you’re the bearer.” Bachiko said covering her ears too.

“Mom, I’m so sorry! I don’t know why this is happening!” Iruma apologized.

“It’s fine, my son. Just listen, since you’re wearing the ring, it must mean you won’t be harm from whatever it’s doing right now.” Bachiko explained.

“Oh, I guess that would make sense.” Iruma said understanding this.

“So, try calming the thing down as you’re the master.” Bachiko advised.

“Okay, the first thing to do is…” Iruma had no idea on how to calm down a black creature as he is still new to all this demon world stuff, but this does remind him of one of his old jobs back in the human world.

“Okay, to make it stop screaming, do this.” Iruma hold the black creature in his arms and rock around a bit like he’s carrying a baby.

“Are you kidding me?!” Bachiko gasped.

“NO! Just cover it’s freaking mouth!” Shax said.

“Oh, lullaby song!” Clara got the idea and know just what to do.

“It’s sleepy, sleepy, sleepy time! Please go back to sleep! Once you’re roll into bed, you’ll never wake up again!” Clara sang the lullaby song that is use in her family, and her singing is too high and off tone.

“You’re making it worse!” Alice stated.

“Pretty sure that’s supposed to be low.” Bachiko grinded her teeth.

“Shut her up too!” Shax cried from all this noise hurting his ear even more.

“No wait, it seems to like that. Look at it go.” Jazz pointed at the black creature happily dancing to the song.

“Huh, maybe you were onto something.” Bachiko surprised.

“Oh, do you think it want some candy?” Gaap wondered as he holds two bars of candy and Shax wants to get a picture of this.

“Quit enjoying this, you morons!” Kalego shouted in rage.

“Stop, I’ll take care of this.” Sabro decided to help deal with the problem with his own two hands.

“Just remember that his mom is here. Do anything to hurt Iruma and you’ll find hundreds of arrows up on your ass.” Elizabetta warned.

“I’m sure she wouldn’t do something that extreme.” Kerori proclaimed.

“No, I would definitely do what she just said.” Bachiko said without any hesitation in her voice, shocking the shy girl.

“Stand back, you shouldn’t get too close.” Irima concerned for Sabro.

“Fear not, my star worth rival, I will easily pull out this black smoke and” Sabro never finish his sentence because when the black creature touch his face, the tall demon young man fell on his knees looking very pale.

“Sabnock, no!” Iruma gasped and Sabro completely fell onto the ground.

“Guess he was a wipe to this little guy.” Bachiko mocked.

“This is NOT the time to be making fun of others!” Iruma said.

“Leave this to me, Master Iruma.” Alice grinned, now stepping in to please his master more by getting rid of this creature.

But the moment it touches his face and chomp him, the fire demon Alice Asmodeus too fell weaken and defeated just like Sabro.

“Déjà vu!” Iruma screamed.

“Are you alright?” Iruma asked.

“Hmm, it looks like this thing can drain magic power.” Bachiko figured out.

“Please do not worry yourself for I have barely felt a nipple.” Alice tried to act tough, but he coughs a little blood and the black creature bites on him again.

“That looks like more than a nipple.” Iruma said.

“Iruma, I’m going to try something. Hold up your right arm.” Bachiko said as she held out two magic arrows she just created and throw them to the black creature which took them absorbs them into its body.

“Well, that’s something.” Bachiko surprised a bit.

“Iruma, let me get a closer look at it.” Kalego wanted to see what this thing is exactly.

But the moment he put his hand on Iruma’s left shoulder, his left arm suddenly vanished in an instant making him shock and the creature was staring at him coldly as it almost spoke his name.

“Professor, is everything alright?” Iruma asked seeing that the professor is staring off into space.

Kalego saw his arm is alright and wasn’t cut off at all, he touches it to make sure it is real and look back at the black creature.

“(An illusion? No, it’s threatening me.)” Kalego thought realized that this creature is dangerous and decided to do something about it.

“Kalego, you better not be thinking about doing something like blowing my son’s arm off.” Bachiko stepped in front of Iruma as he gasp of what she just said.

“I’m sure you understand this problem must be dealt with swiftly.” Kalego glared at the pink short woman.

“Then you’re going to lose your arm for that.” Bachiko glared back.

“Now, now, teachers shouldn’t fight amongst each other nor doing harm to their own students.” Sullivan pointed as he suddenly appears with everyone.

“Lord Sullivan!” Bachiko gasped.

“Chair-Demon!” Kalego shocked.

“Grandpa!” Iruma surprised.

“Hello, your grandpa is here. And nice to see you’re here for extra support, Bachiko.” Sullivan waved at them cheerfully.

“And it’s a good thing Bachiko, you naughty Kalego. In no way I’m going to let you blow up Iruma’s arm off.” Sullivan slightly glared at Kalego.

“Ah! So, he really was going to do it?!” Iruma freaked out a bit.

“You were going to do what to him?!” Alice shocked to hear such a thing.

“What? I thought the other students might be in danger.” Kalego said.

“Tell that to your “Don’t care face”, idiot.” Bachiko rolled her eyes.

“Haste make waste! I was straddle by the noise and came over to check it out.” Sullivan explained.

The black creature sees Sullivan with the primal instinct to attack the old man and take his magic power, it moves toward him and grew in size to consume Sullivan.

“Look out!” Iruma warned.

However, Sullivan isn’t worry about the black creature as it moves closer to him instantly knowing that it’s about to do to him and held out his left hand and place it right onto the black creature making it bloat up like a balloon o something expanding like a balloon.

“Here you go, eat up. Enjoy your meal.” Sullivan said to the black creature.

After a little moment of feeding the black creature, it shrunk down and suck itself back into the golden ring.

“It went back in?” Iruma surprised.

“Must be because Lord Sullivan’s magic was more than it could handle.” Bachiko figured, not much of a surprise.

“You see, my boy, your ring is called the Gluttonous Feeder Ring.” Sullivan revealed.

“Gluttonous Feeder Ring?” Iruma confused.

“It’s a magical piece that store the wearer’s powers, but as an emptiness it’ll try to feed others available close by.” Sullivan explained.

“Oh, so that’s why it was going on a little rampage because it was hungry.” Bachiko realized.

“So, now it’ll be harmless as long as we keep feeding it enough magic power.” Bachiko stated with the Chair-Demon.

“That’s right.” Sullivan nodded.

“He still has that much magical power after letting the little one eats so much? Chair-Demon Sullivan is a force to be reckon with!” Alice amazed of the old demon.

“But now we won’t be able to rank the boy!” Kalego pointed out, but everyone ignores him.

“By the way, once you put it on, you’re stuck with it for life.” Sullivan informed causing Iruma to gasp.

“Sometimes, our little Rank Owl has surprises in its pocket. When you live a millennium, you witness a few oddness.” Sullivan chuckled.

“How can you brush it off so easily?!” Iruma asked.

“Try not to forget, you are human.” Bachiko whispered to Iruma, then notice his left hand.

“Iruma, what happened to your hand?” Bachiko asked.

“Oh, I’ll tell you about it later.” Iruma said.

“Now, everyone say Devi!” Sullivan and everyone posed for the class picture.

With all that said and done, Iruma’s class first task was complete.

(Sullivan Home)

Iruma is sitting on the couch with Bachiko and Sullivan while Opera is serving the tea.

“So, about that hand of yours!” Bachiko asked.

“Well, I cut myself to show the child of Cutthroat Valley’s Guardian. It was hurt pretty badly hurt on the leg, so I wanted help it by wrapping some cloth on it but then a drop from my blood went in and heal the injury like magic.” Iruma explained causing Bachiko’s eyes widen of shock.

“I can see why humans are valuable even though the other demons believe humans being a myth.” Iruma looked at his hand.

“Iruma, got to your room and see if that hand of yours is healed. We’ll call you for dinner.” Bachiko ordered.

Iruma did that and walk out of the living room giving the parent and grandparent some alone time.

“Lord Sullivan, the Gluttonous ring, Iruma’s blood healing a demon, those are the signs of the Demon King prophecy scroll and please, give me a straight answer.” Bachiko said with a firm look.

“To be honest, I knew full well about the prophecy scroll except I never expected Iruma to fit into that when I first met him.” Sullivan said as he stands up and look out the window.

“But it would seem fate has definitely brought Iruma here to be something more than what he is now.” Sullivan believed.

“As in him mostly possibly becoming… the next Demon King!” Bachiko realized shock.

The next day, Iruma learned of his rank to be Aleph which he believes to be good news that this could help him lay low, but he would soon find out that his low rank may make him stand out more.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The golden ring Iruma got seem to have shown a lot of surprises when it was put on his finger with its own little monster that can drain magic from others, and now Bachiko has come to realize about her son being destined for greatness.

Chapter Text

Magical Giant Blossoming of Cheerful Cherry

It’s early in the morning as the scene shows one of the rooms of Babyls with one tell student with red hair is looking at the few newspapers with the front pages of a certain blue-haired boy from the Misfit Class, all showing the feats he has “accomplished” in the past days that is almost a week.

“The honor student, Iruma.” The tall red hair female student said Iruma’s name.

She stares at the picture of Iruma with both curiosity and a little intimidating.

(With Iruma and Bachiko)

The demon mother and the human son could have thought Sullivan would embarrassed them even more than he already had, but he proven them wrong when the carriage he brought online, with Opera’s help, arrived and is now driving them to school at such lightning speed toward the school.

“Well, it looks like we won’t have to worry about walking so much.” Bachiko tried to lighten the mood.

“I don’t know, walking seems to be so much better.” Iruma believed nervously.

Then she heard a couple of students flying outside as they are talking about if humans are real and how tasty they can be, this just made Iruma feel more scared as he tries to remember what his mom said about blending in with the other demons and trying to be calm. Key word being “trying”.

The carriage arrives at the front of the school and Opera step out to roll up the red carpet which got some of the students who arrived attention.

“Master Iruma and Lady Bachiko have now arrived!” Opera announced loudly with their Master Iruma looking a little pale.

“This way, you two.” Opera gestured their arms to the carpet making Bachiko feel a bit angry right now while clutching her fist.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have a talk with Sullivan about stopping with the embarrassment like the carriage ride.” Bachiko promised.

“Thanks, mom.” Iruma smiled.

“Iruma, sir! A very good morning to you, Master!” Alice called out running toward Iruma.

“Hey, good morning, Azz. I’m so sorry I couldn’t come with you today.” Iruma greeted and apologized.

“Are you kidding? That was the most glorious entrance ever!” Alice amazed so much that he shines brightly nearly blinding Iruma.

“Sheesh, you reaction to much like this.” Bachiko commented annoyance.

Before Alice could say anything else, his face was suddenly met by the rolled up red carpet that smack him down and the cause is none other than Clara inside the rolled carpet.

“Morning! How’s it going?” Clara greeted.

“Great, the walking bomb girl is here.” Bachiko sighed.

“What do you think you’re doing, you pest!” Alice angered threw Clara with the carpet away, but Clara somehow came back and started a silly fight with him.

“Hey Azz, Clara, we should get to class now.” Iruma reminded them nervously.

“Can I have the carpet back?” Opera asked as they are suddenly within the silly fighting cloud.

“Don’t forget your bag, Iruma.” Sullivan smiled handing the schoolbag to Iruma.

“Oh, thank you, grandpa.” Iruma thanked as he almost forgot about his bag.

Bachiko notice some of the students are shocked the Chair-Demon has carried Iruma’s bag thinking he’s the bossiest kid ever, this got her mad.

“HEY! This isn’t a damn show, go to your classes now!” Bachiko shouted, scaring the students away from the scene.

“(Damn it, this better not keep happening every morning.)” Bachiko thought grinded her teeth.

“Oh Bachiko, the Hell-phone we talked about for Iruma has come in as well.” Sullivan mentioned and took out the Hell-phone.

“Really, kind of thought it would take a few more days.” Bachiko surprised.

“Anyway, Iruma. Here is your new phone so you can use to call either of us however you like or your friends, just make sure to get their contact numbers first.” Bachiko explained.

“Wow, my very own phone. Thank you so much!” Iruma thanked smiling.

“Yes, yes, even though I haven’t the foggiest to how this little gadget works, but the point is we can talk to each other however we want!” Sullivan excited.

“That’s great, now my son needs to get to class.” Bachiko said while gently pushing Iruma forward.

(Misfit Class)

“Silence! Time for rollcall.” Kalego said.

“When you fools hear me call out your name, respond properly.” Kalego said and started the rollcall.

“(Damn it, I’m trying so hard not to get so much attention on myself, so why…?)” Iruma thought struggled to think of how he keeps getting stand out more.

“Iruma? Iruma!” Kalego called out angry that the honor student isn’t answering him.

“Master.” Alice nudged an elbow on Iruma to snap him out of his thoughts.

“Oh, here.” Iruma answered, then shock of seeing Professor Kalego standing right in front of him.

“Starting today, you will all begin classes with other teachers. Reframe from such insolent behaviors such as not answering when you’re called upon.” Kalego advised with a glare.

“Or other idiotic decision such as challenging your teachers to engage in fisticuffs.” Kalego glared at Sabro who just put up a thumb up.

“(Is that really something you should be proud of?)” Iruma thought wondered of Sabro.

“That is all. Now head toward the class toward straight away.” Kalego ordered as the monster school bell rings.

“(Just in time too.)” Iruma thought sighed in relief, but still feels bump about standing out so much.

“Iruma, sir?” Alice said getting Iruma’s attention to see Clara’s mouth is open wide by his hands making him shock.

“Hey, what’s wrong with her?!” Iruma panicked, worry for Clara.

“Well, you see, sir. You look down n the dumps, so I wanted to cheer you up. Is it working?” Alice explained.

“Want a piggyback ride, Iruma-kins? Like this?” Clara latched onto Alice’s back.

“What’s with you and my back?” Alice asked annoyance.

“Attachment complete!” Clara said being in her own little world now.

“I asked you a question!” Alice started to get angry from this.

“You’re shorter than Sabro.” Clara commented.

“Get off! We’re supposed to be cheering up Master Iruma!” Alice reminded though Clara just clinches onto him though.

Iruma just smile from seeing this, feeling that he has been cheered up already from his two friends being so nice and concern for him, this made him feel warm inside like how his mom and new adopted family makes him feel.

“Come on, guys. Let’s go.” Iruma smiled.

(With Bachiko)

Bachiko is seen walking through the hallways doing her security guard duty of the school to keep an eye out for any troublemakers and spotted one when a demon was about to take out an odd-looking pill.

Bachiko made quick work on the demon pinning him to a wall and taking the pills and knocked him unconscious with a kick.

“Seriously? Since do young demons carry these crazy pills in school?” Bachiko wondered.

“I whether not know how many, but I’m glad you were able to stop a student from taking them.” A young demon woman complimented as she walks up to Bachiko.

“Well, well, well, the great Ameri Azazel has come to greet me with her present.” Bachiko said sarcastically but will surprise of seeing the girl out here.

“I believe it’s the other way around consider I’m more honored to have a powerful demon such as yourself here helping to protect the school.” Ameri stated.

Ameri is a tall demon girl with long hip-length reddish-orange hair and red eyes. She has two long orange tufts protruding from her hair resembling horns or ears. She has a slim and curvaceous figure, and her fingernails are short and red. She wears a pink sheer undershirt connected to a black choker on her neck, atop a black and pink sleeveless vest with a sweetheart neckline and an orange collar. She also wears an orange and pink skirt, pale pink thigh-high socks, and orange knee-high boots.

“Well, here are the pills. Be sure your father locks them up good while I take this one to the detention room.” Bachiko tossed the bag of crazy pills to Ameri who catches it with one hand.

“Excellent idea, I’m sure my father would love to know where that student even gets these.” Ameri looked at the bag.

“I’m sure he would enjoy integrating the brat.” Bachiko dragged the demon student away.

“Speaking of which, I heard word about one who has made a big name of himself in the short amount of time since coming to Babyls.” Ameri mentioned.

Bachiko didn’t need to ask who’s she talking about as she can already guess that she is referring to her adopted son, Iruma and the crazy things that has happened to him since coming to the Demon Realm.

“You interested in my son for recruitment or something?” Bachiko asked, turning her head to face the young demon.

“Not quite, just curious about everything that happened around that make it seems like he’s something else than a demon.” Ameri stated.

“(Shit, has she already started to suspect that Iruma is a human?)” Bachiko thought shocked while keeping her composure.

“You make it sound like you’re starting to have a crush on him or something.” Bachiko joked.

“Of course not, I always take my duty very serious.” Ameri pointed out with a slight serious look.

“(Sheesh, can’t take a joke. Like father like daughter.)” Bachiko thought deadpanned.

“It just got me concern about him if he were to be a potential threat to Babyls.” Ameri said.

Suddenly Ameri is met with Bachiko up close with a dangerous and death threating glare that send shivers down the girl’s spine and fear is taking over that she became frozen in place, Bachiko is also standing on an arrow she made with her magic to be at the eye-level though an inch taller.

“Are you saying that you would hurt my boy just because he may “seem” like a threat?” Bachiko asked eerie. Ameri didn’t answer as she couldn’t bring out the words to say anything.

Then Bachiko calms herself down and sat on the arrow.

“Sorry, it just I want to keep Iruma from any harm and help him live a good life. After all, he has been living a shelter life with Lord Sullivan’s help, so he doesn’t know much about the ways of the world.” Bachiko explained.

“I see, then it would make sense why everyone hasn’t heard news about you having a child and being adopted by one of the Three Greats. And now he is attending to this school.” Ameri nodded.

“I thought it was about time Iruma should go get his education and meet with demons his age, though it looks like something unexpected tends to happen wherever he goes.” Bachiko said.

“Indeed, it’s almost like there is something more to Iruma than meets the eye.” Ameri commented, causing Bachiko to flinch a bit.

“I was hoping to meet with Iruma to ask him a few things.” Ameri mentioned.

“(Damn, it looks like she is still set on finding out more about him. Better make myself scarce.)” Bachiko thought decided to drop the subject.

“Look, my son is nothing to worry about. Now if you’ll excuse me.” Bachiko walked away taking the unconscious student to detention.

“(I better be careful with what I say about Iruma around his mother, but I can definitely tell she wasn’t telling me everything about him.)” Ameri thought.

“Madam President, is everything okay?” A male student council member asked.

“Yes, everything is fine.” Ameri answered and decided to continue on with her duty.

(Diabotany Tower, Diabotany Class)

“Yis. Student of the Misfit class, it is a pleasure to meet all of you.” A female demon teacher greeted.

“Welcome to the Diabotany Tower! Here you will learn about the most fascinating field of study in the scientific world. My name is Suzy Stolas, and I will be teaching you about Diabotany. Yis.” Suzy introduced herself.

“(Aw, she’s a cute little teacher.)” Iruma thought complimented.

“Today let us use our magic to make some flowers blooms, how does that sound? Yis.” Suzy revealed of what they’re gonna be doing today.

“Hold your hand over this special sapling and then… Quan Quan.” Suzy demonstrated the spell as it grew into a pink flower with cute little eyeballs. “Yis. And just like that, it blooms!”

“By the way, you can use your magic to give you flower weight, shape, and dimension to your magic.” Suzy mentioned.

“Alright everyone, it’s time to begin. Yis.” Suzy said exciting.

Some of the students got started on making their flowers bloom into however they want them to be, but they’re struggling with the spell.

“Uh, ma’am, nothing’s happening.” Camie worried if he did something wrong as he also saw Agares having trouble too.

“A technique that will help is clearly envisioning what the flower should look like in your mind. Do you best. Yis.” Suzy advised.

“(I don’t have any magic, so I can’t produce a flower. But I need to participate for real, so I don’t stand out.)” Iruma thought looked down at the pot with the sapling.

Iruma heard some whispers coming from above, he turns around to see some other students where are wondering what’s up with them.

“They’re the upperclassmen.” Alice informed as he sees them too.

“I’m sure they came to check up on us because the first-years’ ranks were just announced.” Alice guessed as Iruma wonders what the upperclassmen are thinking right now.

“Uh, look over there.” Shaxx said getting his classmates to see two students wearing black and red uniforms.

“The student council.” Shaxx said, revealing who they are.

“Weird, they hardly ever come to the underclassmen’s tower.” Jazz surprised to see two of them here.

“What are they doing here?” Gaap wondered.

“It’s obvious!” Sabro said making a strong stand.

“I’m Bet Rank to becoming the future Demon King! It’s quite clear they came to observe me, Sabnock Sabro! If it’s a show they want, they will see my true power!” Sabro held his hand to the sapling.

“Quan Quan!” Sabro performed the spell as the plant glows brightly for a second or two.

“Behold, this is my blossom!” Sabro smirked at his plant being a crazy, vicious plant that is now eating its own pot.

“What kind of flower is that? I mean look, its eating its own pot!” Iruma gasped.

“I shall call it Destructive God.” Sabro declared.

“Maybe it’s a little too destructive.” Jazz pointed out.

“Good effort, I give it a B+. Yis, yis.” Suzy said much to Sabro’s horror of getting a simple B+.

“How crud and tasteless. Now witness true elegance.” Alice showed his flower with the petals being made of flames.

“A fire flower!” Iruma amazed.

“How pretty, an A+!” Suzy amazed as well.

“Hmm, molding one’s artiest skills is key to proper use of magic.” Alice explained, and immediately Sabro put out the fire petal with a bucket of water causing Alice to gasp in shock.

“One must remember to water one’s flower.” Sabro stated in a mocking tone.

“You dare put out the flames of my strong Bloodline? Deplorable!” Alice angered and fired a shot at Sabro who dodges it.

“Are thou has amusingly short temper. Fine then, guess I shall cool off tha head as well.” Sabro smirked with the bucket refill with water as a fight is about to break out.

“Wow, I guess everyone’s magic is unique.” Iruma said.

“Preciously, good job.” Suzy nodded and made a little plant from a pot grow bigger easily restraining Alice and Sabro.

“Yis. Could you save your fighting until after class? Yis. Now let us continue on with the other flowers, shall we?” Suzy wanted to get back to class.

Everyone started making their own special flower. Jazz made a flower made of jewels, gold, and coins that could be worth a lot of money. Shaxx made his flower into a spinning roulette like in a gambling casino. Camie made a strange and pervy flower that others look away. Allocer made his flower into a scroll. Gaap’s flower is swirling wind blade. Elizabete created a big and beautiful pink flower that makes her even more lovely. Kerori made a blue cute flower even though she stutters, proclaiming it’s not as cute as Elizabete’s. Agares’ flower is a giant fluffy pillow just like his floating soft bed.

“Wow, I love how different they are all.” Iruma impressed.

“Hey Clara, how’s… yours…” Iruma saw the big disgusting and weirdly shape flower that Clara seems to make, and she tries to hide it.

“Did something just…” Iruma is too afraid to finish that question.

“Nothing, you saw nothing!” Clara tried to hide the flower.

“Hey guys, something weird show up over here!” Jazz alerted as Clara’s flower somehow vanished from her and in Jazz’s arms.

Clara started to look embarrassed much to Alice’s confusion, but she just went cheerfully again while Iruma saw how wondeful magic is.

“Sorry I can’t make you any bigger, little guy. If I had magic, I love to see a warm color flower.” Iruma remembered the Cherry Blossom he always loves seeing back in the human world.

“Warm and fluffy. Quan Quan.” Iruma decided to try the spell even though he could never do magic.

But suddenly, the sapling started to glow bright blue and the light is engulfing the entire room of the tower as everyone in class aw this in shock, and Iruma’s Hellphone went off causing him to answer.

“Yoo-Hoo! It’s your grandpa! Ya, our first phone call!” Sullivan cheered.

“G-Grandpa?” Iruma exclaimed.

“I may have to mention one thing. Remember the other day when I stored some of my magic in that ring you’re wearing?” Sullivan asked though Iruma couldn’t answer at the moment.

“Well, thing is, you grandson can use magic too.” Sullivan revealed.

The sapling started to grow bigger and bigger that is crowding up the entire classroom.

“Oh, but don’t use it just yet. I hadn’t had time to calibrate the outcome. If you use it, it could lead to trouble.” Sullivan said.

But it was too late as Iruma’s flower has fully grown into a cherry blossom tree that is over hundreds of times bigger than the normal ones, this certainly got everyone’s attention of seeing the giant pink fluffy tree.

That day, for the first time on the grounds of the demon school Babyls. Cherry blossoms bloom.

“You tell me this now…” Iruma groaned of what he just did.

Bachiko is outside on the courtyard of the school shocked of the giant tree, and she already knew who caused it.

“Looks like Iruma may get to meet the Student Council President sooner than I thought.” Bachiko grunted.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma’s first day in the other classes seems to have gone well until he accidentally made the giant cherry blossom tree in Diabotary class, which will get the attention of Ameri after having a chat with Bachiko as the archer woman fears that the Student Council President is closing in on Iruma’s true identity.

Chapter Text

First Bumping Love Encounter!

Ameri is in her office looking over the hints and clues she had written down in her little notebook about Iruma, but a loud exploding sound caught her attention to make her look up from the notebook and saw the giant cherry blossom tree bursting out of the Diabotany tower.

“Madam Presiden!” Quichelight entered the room hurry and worried.

“The honor student just created some pink fluffy thing.” Quichelight reported.

“Curious, these are only known to be in the human world.” Ameri said which confuses the Student Council member.

“Honor student, Iruma Barbatos. I must speak with him, and it must be immediately. We have a lot to discuss.” Ameri ordered as she is now more determined to meet Iruma today.

Half of an hour has passed and everyone in the school who has seen the cherry blossom tree have already taken an extreme liking to it, they would even go there for a little party to enjoy the peaceful and pinkish fun time like it’s one of those special occasions or holidays that most would enjoy.

Well, except for a few such as Bachiko who looks angry is stomping her foot repeatedly with a mother angry look at Iruma who is shaking like a leaf.

“Honestly, I got half of mind to ground you until your death.” Bachiko pinched the bridge of her nose.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know what was happening!” Iruma cried.

“You should have been more careful, especially since you have the added power of your grandfather in that ring from the flight exam.” Bachiko pointed at the ring.

“I know, I know, but how was I supposed to know my magic would become much stronger than how it was before?” Iruma asked.

“Well, I guess that’s our fault for not saying anything about the ring and all, so I’ll let you off the hook this time. But only if you promise to be more careful.” Bachiko said.

“Don’t worry, I promise not to do any more magical stuff. At least until grandpa helps adjust the ring for me.” Iruma nodded.

“Good, now no one still knows that it was Sullivan’s magic you used. So, we’ll just say the ring increased your magic dramatically.” Bachiko planned a good lie.

“I guess that’ll be okay to cover my secret as a human.” Iruma agreed.

“I hope I’m not interrupting a mother and son moment.” Suzy walked towards them.

“Professor Suzy, I’m very sorry for the damage my son has caused. I already gave him an earful and promise to be more careful with his magic now that he has the Glutton Feeder Ring to make his magic much more powerful.” Bachiko apologized as she and Iruma bow at the teacher.

“Oh no, it’s no problem at all. In fact, your son actually did a big favor for me.” Suzy stated.

“Really, I did?” Iruma confused.

“Yis. You see, I’ve been wanting to remake the tower to truly live up to its name, perhaps decorating the place with flowers and other wonderful plants in the Demon Realm.” Suzy explained and looked back up at the giant tree.

“I tried to think of many ways, but I could never find the kind flowers.” Suzy said.

“Until you came along and created something so amazing and unknown that none has ever seen before, the perfect flower for the tower.” Suzy smiled.

“Of course, when it comes to flowers, you can’t help but be amazes to them.” Bachiko sighed.

“Professor, I wish to help clean up this mess since it was my fault that I was the cause of it all.” Iruma offered to help with the cleanup.

“Yis. Quite the unique demon you are, most wouldn’t even think about cleaning in a big mess like this and more surprising that you don’t resemble your mother in the slightest.” Suzy pointed out.

“All I know is that he got it from his dad which I literally have no idea who that is, not that I care anyway.” Bachiko stated, which is a lie.

“Even so, I still love being with my mom and grandpa.” Iruma smiled while hugging Bachiko causing her to blush like crazy.

“Damn it, Iruma! Don’t hug me like this, especially in public!” Bachiko complained.

“Aw, now that’s the most adorable mother and son bonding I have ever seen. Yis.” Suzy complimented.

“(Damn it, there’s goes that stupid heart of mine! Stop it right now!)” Bachiko thought tried to force her heart to stop beating so fast.

Bachiko is once again feeling the warm and loving feeling of being a mother.

“Well, I should get started on the cleanup.” Iruma said letting go of his adopted mom.

“Oh yeah, you should also be aware that the Student Council may want to check on with the sudden incident.” Bachiko informed.

“Student Council?” Iruma confused at first until he remembers moments ago before making the giant cherry blossom.

“Oh yeah, me and my class spotted two of the Student Council were in the tower. I heard Jazz said it’s unusual for them to come up to the first-year tower.” Iruma explained.

“(Damn, looks like Ameri is trying to seek out Iruma sooner than I thought.)” Bachiko thought cursed for not seeing this soon.

“Am I going to be in trouble for the tree?” Iruma worried.

“Not to worry, I can vouch for you that this was a total accident, and no one was hurt in the process.” Suzy said.

“Thanks, I guess that will appease the President.” Bachiko decided to take that.

“Just be careful, the Student Council is a very strict group that loves to follow the rules of the school to the letter and that double goes for the president herself as she wants to make this school a safe haven for any demon to enroll here.” Bachiko explained about the president.

“Wow, she sounds super tough.” Iruma commented.

“Tough doesn’t begin to cover of the punishment she can dish out to anyone who don’t follow the rules, probably almost harsh as me.” Bachiko stated.

“Oh man, then I’ll have to be careful not to get on her bad side!” Iruma worried.

“Well, I’m going to continue my patrolling. I’ll meet you at the gate when you’re finish cleaning.” Bachiko walked away.

“Okay mom, bye!” Iruma waved goodbye and got started on the cleaning.

“(I wonder what the Student Council President is like, I hope she’s nice.)” Iruma thought wondered.

(With Ameri)

“I’m leaving the rest up to you.” Ameri said to her two men before going into her private concern.

Ameri suddenly sneeze out of nowhere like that.

“Odd, I don’t feel sick.” Ameri puzzled, bit decided to not think about it as she walks to the bookshelf.

“(Yes, I do in fact that humans are real. It’s an indisputable certainty.)” Ameri thought stated strongly.

Ameri moved some books to the side showing a hidden sealing circle behind it and she place her hand on the seal causing it to glow orange.

“(I have reliable and full proof evidence of their existence.)” Ameri thought believed.

The bookshelves start to open like two large doors showing another shelf behind it as she walks up towards the shelf looking at all the book shape items and grab the first one, she saw when the secret door opened.

“(Here they are. Secret relics that have been pass down in my family for generations.)” Ameri thought looked at the book.

“(These forbidden texts have been recording human histories throughout time.)” Ameri thought remembered what she was told from her father.

Ameri took a deep breath to mentally prepare herself for when she starts reading the forbidden texts knowing how dangerous and powerful they are, the text that she was warned by her father to be very careful.

Then she opens the book.

And it reveals to be a picture page showing a girl in a worry mood and wearing a school uniform.

Girl in book: Oh no, I’m going to be late! (My name is Rin Hoshino. I’m 16 and I’m currently running late for school.) I can’t believe I’m late on the first day of the new semester, how lame!

The next scene shows a boy is walking by at the corner where Rin is about to make a speedy turn causing the two to bump into each other as Rin groans in pain a little.

Boy in book: Oh, sorry.

The boy in the picture book stands up and offers Rin a hand.

Boy in book: Are you okay, you’re not hurt, are you?

The girl in the book blushes and the word effect shows her heart is beating fast, and also got Ameri to moan of surprise feeling her heart racing like crazy and trying to keep the moaning in while shaking her body as she tries to pull herself together.

“I can’t read these characters, so I have no idea what it says, but I’m just so curious!” Ameri said looking at the book again, then gasp.

“(I… I let myself be enchanted; these forbidden texts possess terrifying powers.)” Ameri thought surprised as she looks at the picture book again.

“(It appears as though this girl has suddenly fallen in love with this boy, but did he make that happen just by bumping into her?)” Ameri thought asked herself.

“(Is this how powerful human charms are, is it?)” Ameri thought asked, being more curious until she tries to pull the thoughts away.

“But maybe…” Ameri kept wondering about that, until she realize as she glazes at the clock.

“Look at the time! I’ll just take this with me.” Ameri placed the book inside her clothes.

“Tomorrow is another early day of protecting Babyls.” Ameri said quickly running out of her room.

(With Iruma)

Iruma just got up to the top of the tower seeing some of the students who have taken a real liking to the tree he made and spotted two other friends of his.

“Eiko, Gaako!” Iruma called out.

“Iruma! You’re here too!” Eiko shocked blushing.

“Here to be dazzle by your own work?” Gaako asked.

“Just here to clean up the mess I made and about to help those janitors.” Iruma explained.

“Wow, that is so sweet of you.” Eiko amazed, then start taking pictures of Iruma with her Hellphone.

“Glad to see you two are having a good time.” Iruma said then leaves to the janitors.

“Excuse me, I like to help you clean all of this up.” Iruma offered to the janitors.

“Really, you sure?” One janitor with pale orange skin asked and Iruma nods.

“Well then, we’ll take you up on that offer.” The janitor with two horns accepted the help.

Soon, Iruma is met with a giant pile of trash at the side of the Diabotany tower.

“Since you offer, mind taking these to the dump?” The pale orange skin janitor asked.

“We still have a lot of cleaning to do on that side of the building, so it’ll be a big help.” The two-horned janitor said.

“We’re counting on you, Iruma.” The pale orange skin janitor smiled.

This causes Iruma feel the overwhelming feeling of being ask for something to do and the sudden urge to do it too.

“You got it!” Iruma said without hesitation.

Iruma is incapable of refusing a request from anyone.

Iruma waves goodbye at the janitors as they leave to clean the other part of the tower and looks over at the big pile of trash.

“Now, how am I going to finish all of this today?” Iruma wondered, also remembering that his mom will be waiting for him at the end of the day.

But before he could touch one of the full trash bags, all are suddenly lit up and consume into a big pink color fire causing him to jump in shock, but he turns around to see that it’s Alice who just use his fire magic to burn the trash into ashes.

“Oh, Azz!” Iruma surprised.

“Master Iruma! I know you ordered me to go home, so I do apologize. But as your friend, I am compelled to stay by your side at all times.” Alice believed.

“Iruma-kins!” Clara called out, getting the boys’ attention.

Clara is running up to Iruma carrying a lot of dirty trash and that pile seems to be a little bigger than herself.

“Lookie, lookie, I got a lot of trash!” Clara cheered.

But then her left foot got caught by a rock causing her to trip and throw the trash into the air then it descends right toward Iruma.

“Master, look out!” Alice used his own body to shield Iruma from the trash which got all over him.

After cleaning himself up and making sure his Master Iruma doesn’t have a single trash on him, he gets to making an angry scolding at Clara who is sitting on her knees right now.

“Honestly, why are you creating more work for Master Iruma? Go home this instant!” Alice demanded.

“Boo!” Clara booed at Alice for being a big party pooper.

“Boo yourself!” Alice yelled of annoyance of this girl.

“That’s okay, Azz. Why don’t you go home too?” Iruma suggested which causes Alice to feel heartbroken all of a sudden.

“Did… Did I do something to offend you, Master Iruma?” Alice asked, feeling like he just made Iruma mad and doesn’t want to speak with the fire magic demon for a while.

“No, of course not, but it is getting late. So, I have to put away all the cleaning equipment.” Iruma pointed out and the little task left for him to do.

“Oh, alright, if you say so, Master Iruma.” Alice said, understanding this and decided to go home for today.

“See you later, Iruma-kins!” Clara said while latching onto Alice’s back.

“You’re literally chocking me!” Alice groaned.

“Kaboom!” Clara talked in sound effects again.

“Enough with the kabooms already!” Alice annoyed.

“Oh hey, if you see my mom at the gate, tell her I’m almost done with cleaning up and should be out of here soon.” Iruma mentioned.

“As you wish.” Alice responded before going back to yelling at Clara to let him go.

(Five Minutes Later)

“Okay, better put this away and meet up with mom.” Iruma hurried to the janitor closet.

Meanwhile, Ameri is walking through a hallway deep in thought about the book she brought with her that was almost being seen.

“(Taking that book was careless of me. But still, this is strictly for research purposes. It’s not like I’m taking it home for selfish reasons.)” Ameri thought proclaimed as this has nothing to do with wanting to find out more about what the forbidden texts says, nothing like that at all.

“(I would never.)” Ameri thought.

But it looks like fate has a little funny plan as Iruma and Ameri are about to meet each other though by the time they saw each other, it was too late as their bodies collided causing them to fall on the floor and Iruma dropping cleaning supplies, but he is more worried about the girl he just bump into.

“I’m so sorry!” Iruma apologized.

“Are you okay?” Iruma asked as he offers a hand to her.

Ameri suddenly felt her heart beating like crazy as this scene is starting to feel familiar, like the ones that happened in the forbidden textbook where the boy and girl bump into each other and the girl has suddenly fallen in love with the boy.

“You’re not hurt, are you?” Iruma asked concern.

This is causing Ameri to feel strange from this sudden counter just like what happened in the book, she quickly pulls herself together and stands up.

“You there, tell me your name.” Ameri demanded.

“Uh, yes, ma’am. My name is Iruma.” Iruma answered, surprise to see the girl is okay.

“(Iruma! As in Iruma Barbatos, son of the Undead Archer Bachiko Barbatos.)” Ameri thought realized that she just bumps into the famous boy of the school.

“(He summoned a demon and made him a familiar. How receives an unmeasurable rank. Who somehow conjure a strange alien tree.)” Ameri thought listed the things Iruma has done.

“(And now… He’s bump into me, and he’s trying to make me fall in love with him!)” Ameri thought blushed of rage.

“(I have no doubt! This boy is…)” Ameri thought grabbed Iruma by the face much to his confusion.

“(He is, absolutely… human!)” Ameri thought discovered.

“(I honestly have no idea what is happening right now, and I wish mom was here to help!)” Iruma thought worried about this girl.

(With Bachiko)

“Damn it, that boy better not get so long.” Bachiko said as she waits by the school gate.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Oh boy, now Iruma have just bump into Ameri who seem to already discover that he is a human which could be trouble for him if he were to be reported, but something tells me that Ameri who tell anyone for two important reasons and one of them is that book in her shirt.

Also, just a quick question for you guys, does Persona 5 make a good crossover with Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun because I sure do! And I’m hoping someone out there will do a story like that.

Chapter Text

Taken in for Strange Manga Reading Time

“(I honestly have no idea what is happening here?)” Iruma thought freaked out of this tall yet pretty but very scary girl looking at him like that.

All Iruma knew is that he was going to put away the cleaning stuff he was using to clean up the big mess he caused until he accidentally bumps into this girl, and now she is holding his face and looking angry at him. Though he had to admit, she does look pretty in a scary sort of way and the red hair looks cool too.

As for Ameri, she gathers her thoughts back together and took in a breath.

“(Calm down, just calm down, Ameri. I must do what’s necessary, if anyone learns there’s a human in the Netherworld there’ll be chaos.)” Ameri thought concerned of the human here.

“(I could tell my dad, the head of the Demon Security Police, and have him sent to the proper facility, but there is one problem… his mother being Barbatos Bachiko. And now that I think about it, the Demonchair Sullivan also claimed to be his grandfather too.)” Ameri thought of Bachiko and Sullivan.

“(From what I heard days ago, Bachiko actually threatened to kill Kalego for what happened with Iruma being lost during the flight rank exam.)” Ameri thought recalled.

“(But could that mean she really has taken a liking to this human as her own child? I’ll have to be extremely careful with this, so I don’t get an arrow right through my head.)” Ameri thought gulped a bit.

“(She must be really mad that I bumped into her.)” Iruma thought wanted to see if he can calm her down in a way.

“Hey, huh, I’m sorry for—” Iruma was about to grab her hands for a little peace talk, but Ameri reacted of seeing this and quickly stop his hands.

“(He almost got the jump on me, good thing I can read his body language.)” Ameri thought relieved and remembered something from the “Forbidden Texts”.

Handsome boy: *Chuckling* Oops, my bad.

Rin: Oh geez, dang it, Kakeru!

Kakeru: Sorry.

Then panel shows Rin suddenly tripping and fell onto Kakeru who caught her in time, but then suddenly felt their hearts beating fast and looking at each other like something is happening to their hearts.

“(It’s just like that scene in the Forbidden Texts!)” Ameri thought believed with her cheeks blushing a bit.

By the by, Ameri can’t read human language. She just has intense reactions to the pictures.

“(He’s dangerous, I won’t miss a single move he makes.)” Ameri thought stared at Iruma intensely.

“(No doubt about it, she’s mad!)” Iruma thought scared. Clueless of what this girl is really thinking and why the scary look.

“I didn’t mean to bump into you, honest! I’m sorry!”

“I’m sorry!”

“I’m sorry!” Iruma bowed in apology but seem that Ameri is doing the bowing too though even she is surprised that her body moved like that.

Now Iruma and Ameri are feeling weirded out and awkward from this sudden position and are thinking the same question in their heads.

“(Now what?)”

“(I instinctively copy his movements, but what do I do from here? Is he holding my hands to make me fall in love with him?)” Ameri thought struggled with this and completely misreading the situation such as Iruma isn’t even holding her hands.

“(I don’t understand, why is she bowing?)” Iruma thought confused.

But in this position, the manga book Ameri was carrying in her clothes have fallen off and onto the floor which Ameri notice hearing Iruma might see it, she tries to grab it, but Iruma already saw the book and grab it before she could.

“Oh, that’s nothing.” Ameri said hoping the boy would just give her back the book.

But upon seeing this book and the pages for only a few seconds and smiles.

“No way, this takes me back! Yeah, it’s First Love Memories!” Iruma surprised and shocks Ameri.

“I remember this series, it’s one of my favorites. As a matter of fact, I was an assistant on the manga way back when. How nostalgic.” Iruma remembered working with the manga workers.

“Anyway, these two meets in volume one and this happens.” Iruma talked on about the manga without even realizing what he is saying that is confusing Ameri as well.

“First Love Memories?” Ameri said the title, having a guess that it must be what the book is called.

“(I have no idea what he is talking about, but he knows these texts.)” Ameri thought knew this only proves more that Iruma is a human.

“So, you really are” Ameri was gonna call Iruma out, but he wasn’t listening and continue talking about the manga book.

“The scene where they confess their feelings under the cherry blossom trees is spectacular! It brings Rin and Kakeru just that much closer together!” Iruma smiled.

“Are you saying you can actually read that book?” Ameri asked surprise.

“Of course, I can.” Iruma answered.

“But I’m really surprise that I would never expect to find this here, we’re in the Netherworld, after all.” Iruma said.

Then the realization finally kicks in.

“(What am I doing?!)” Iruma thought gasped.

“Huh, what I mean is…” But Iruma didn’t try to make up any excuse when he saw the girl’s face being bright with curiosity and sparkling as well.

“(Is it just me or did just get cute again?)” Iruma thought wondered.

“So, you’re seriously saying you can read it?” Ameri asked excitingly.

“Huh, sure I can.” Iruma answered, a little weirded out.

“Then tell me, what does this say?” Ameri asked holding up the manga and pointing at one panel.

“I-I’m the transfer student, Kakeru Aozora.” Iruma read the part.

“How about this?” Ameri flipped to a new page.

“Badump, badump.”

“And this?” Ameri flipped to another page.

“Squee, squee.”

“Right, you’re coming with me!” Ameri glared and grabbed Iruma by the back of his shirt dragging him along through the hallway.

“(Oh no, I’m dead! She must’ve figured out I’m a human! What’s she gonna do? Is she gonna eat me?!)” Iruma thought worried and scared to death.

Iruma was dragged into what seems to be a private room just for this girl though couldn’t figure out why as the fear of being eaten is overflowing his mind, but now he finds himself standing at a small table with the manga book open along with another small table with plate of sweets and two teacups and Ameri sitting on her personal chair across from Iruma.

This leave the blue hair boy confuse of what is happening right now.

“Huh, is this…” Iruma tried to ask if this demon girl is really going to eat him or not.

“Now begin please.” Ameri said which confuses Iruma more.

“I… I want you to read it out loud!” Ameri said more clearly and a little loud too.

“Really, out loud? You want me to read it to you?” Iruma asked to make sure he is understanding what this girl wants from him.

“Y-Yes, that’s right!” Ameri answered honest thought embarrassed.

“(Oh yeah, I guess demons can’t read human language.)” Iruma thought realized surprise.

“(But if I read this to her, she’ll definitely figure out I’m human.)” Iruma thought worried.

“(It… It just for validation. I have to confirm he’s human. It’s not like I’m actually interested in the context or anything of the book.)” Ameri thought proclaimed though her blushing cheeks are telling a different story.

“Hey! Hurry up, get to reading!” Ameri ordered.

“Okay!” Iruma responded of the pushover again.

Again, Iruma is powerless to decline any requests.

“Let see… “Oh no, I’m going to be late! My name is Rin Hoshino, I’m 16 years old and I’m currently running late for school!”” Iruma reads the manga with a high tone trying to sound like a girl.

“I see, so that’s what that panel said.” Ameri nodded, now knowing that page is introducing one of the main characters. “Continue.”

“Right.” Iruma nodded and got back to reading the manga out loud to her.

(With Bachiko)

“Okay, this is getting ridiculous!” Bachiko shouted in rage.

“It’s over a full over since school ended and Iruma hasn’t come out yet! Just what in the actual Hell is going on that is keeping him in so long!” Bachiko gritted her teeth.

“Hold on, he couldn’t have been caught by the Student Council President, could he?” Bachiko worried.

“No, no, I’m sure Iruma is fine and wouldn’t do anything that could expose him… Unless he got ask to.” Bachiko clutched her shaking fists.

Bachiko went silent for ten seconds with her eyes shadowed by her hair until her eyes are now shown to be full of worries as a mother and the anger of one as well.

“Nothing better not has happened to my boy.” Bachiko said before disappearing from the spot in front of the school gate.

Bachiko runs around the school with her superspeed trying to find where Iruma could be, remembering that Iruma send her a text message about finish cleaning, then she stops at the corner where the cleaning supplies were dropped.

“Iruma was definitely here, but he would never drop them unless something forced him to.” Bachiko figured out like a detective or something.

That’s when Bachiko formed her bow and creates a blue arrow made of her demonic magic aiming at one direction in the hallway.

“Find Iruma.” Bachiko said before firing the blue arrow and she quickly follows it.

The blue arrow flies through the hallway and turning into a different hallway as the archer demon woman follows hoping that her spell work, and it only took the arrow under a minute as it led her to one door that is a certain room for one special demon.

“So, he’s in there, huh?” Bachiko wondered as her blue arrow disperse.

“Well then, I sure hope the President doesn’t mind a sudden visit from the Undead Archer.” Bachiko readied herself.

Without any hesitation or any warning, she kicked the door down so hard that it went flying past Iruma and Ameri as it also crashes through the window.

“What in the world?” Ameri shocked and confused of what just happened.

But that was all Ameri has time to say when suddenly there is an arrow of light very close to the tip of her nose and the one holding that arrow is none other than Bachiko Barbatos, and she is not in a good mood from the looks of it that is making Ameri’s spine shake in fear along with her body.

“Bachiko Barbatos…” Ameri gulped.

“I hope you had a good day like hoping to taste my boy’s flesh.” Bachiko said frightening.

“No, mom! Stop, it’s okay, I’m still alive!” Iruma pulled his adopted mom away from Ameri.

“Back off, Iruma! I have to make sure the Student Council President doesn’t try anything to you.” Bachiko growled.

“But nothing seriously bad happen, we were just reading together!” Iruma informed.

“I don’t—Wait, you were reading?” Bachiko asked.

“Show me, now.” Bachiko ordered using her mother authority on her son.

“Yes, ma’am!” Iruma handed the First Love Memories manga.

“No, don’t let her see it!” Ameri begged as she doesn’t want anyone else to know about the Forbidden Texts, but it was already too late as Bachiko is looking at the book.

“What kind of book is this? I can’t make out whatever these are supposed to be, are these words from the human world?” Bachiko asked confusing.

“Yeah, they’re call Japanese and it’s the language I was born in of the homeland called Japan, it’s actually one of the languages the human world has.” Iruma explained.

“Is that right?” Bachiko raised an eyebrow.

“Huh, excuse me?” Ameri tried to get their attention back on her and got a glare from Bachiko.

“Well, it looks like you’re still in one piece. I’m surprised the Student Council president hasn’t done anything to you.” Bachiko said.

“Oh, it wasn’t that bad. Sure, she was scary when we bumped into each other.” Iruma chuckled and rubbing the back of his head.

Then suddenly his eyes widen of pure shock from what his mom just about the red hair girl is the Student Council as he looks at Ameri who the fuzzy earlike hair twitches a bit.

“Wait! Are you saying she’s the Student Council President! You’re the Student Council President!” Iruma gasped shock.

“You seriously didn’t know?” Ameri and Bachiko asked surprise.

“Come to think of it, I don’t think you know well enough to know about the Student Council since you’re still new to being in the Netherworld.” Bachiko sighed realizing.

“It’s also surprised that you haven’t introduce yourself to him considered you’re the uptight, stick by the book kind of demon.” Bachiko looked at Ameri.

“Well, huh, I was just… trying to confirm that he is a human by reading me the Forbidden Texts.” Ameri pressed her fingers feeling embarrassed.

“(Huh-uh, I think you just really want to read these human books to find out what they say and goes on with the pictures.)” Bachiko thought see through her like glass with a deadpan expression.

“Anyway, my name is Ameri Azazel, second year of Babyls and Student Council President. I am in charge of keeping this school safe and discipline for any demons’ education, and I would gladly punish those who would disturb that peace with my own hands.” Ameri introduced herself strong and intimidating.

“(Wow, that’s so cool even though she’s scary!)” Iruma thought commented.

“Now, would you mind explaining to us why exactly you have books from the human world?” Bachiko asked waving the manga book.

“Please be careful with this! These are the Forbidden Texts that was passed on to me by my father and trusted me to keep these safe from any demons finding out.” Ameri explained as she snatches the book from Bachiko’s hand.

“Your dad, how did Henri get his hands on them?” Bachiko confused.

“I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you that. It’s a secret in the family.” Ameri refused to answer in pride for her family.

“Fine, but if you want us to keep our mouth shuts about these books then you got to promise to keep Iruma’s secret of being human shut too because I will NOT let him be taken back to that awful life in the human world!” Bachiko demanded.

“Awful life, what do you mean by that?” Ameri asked curious.

“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about. It just I lived my whole life being used by others and forced into working labor by my parents since I was a little kid or maybe a baby.” Iruma explained a little causally.

“WHAT?! But that just sounds like you’ve been made a slave against your will by your own parents!” Ameri gasped.

“Yeah, that’s kind of the same reaction I had when Lord Sullivan told me after Iruma was sold by his parents too.” Bachiko mentioned.

“What? Sold like you didn’t even matter to them anymore, these people sound worse than demons.” Ameri said feeling a little anger from within.

Bachiko can see Ameri is starting to understand a little of Iruma’s circumstances back he used to live in the human world and seeing that she like these human books so much is something she could use to make a deal with her too.

“Look, I don’t know why Lord Sullivan decided to adopt a human as his grandchild nor why he picked me of all people to be his mom, it was something about the other Big Three and their grandchildren, but now I think Iruma’s life would be better here in the Netherworld.” Bachiko said.

“So, I’m only going to ask you this once.” Bachiko dropped on her knees and bow her head on the floor shocking Ameri and Iruma.

“Please, let my son continue living in this world and coming to this school!” Bachiko begged.

“(No way, the Undead Archer is actually bowing to me! But to do that truly means… this boy is very important to her and speaks the truth!)” Ameri thought shocked realizing this.

Ameri can feel the strength within the words from Bachiko and doing something not every demon could do if they didn’t mean it, she smiles seeing that it must have been fate for Iruma to come here to make a big difference in the Netherworld.

“Do not worry, I actually planned on keeping this a secret anyway because I… I wanted to continue reading with Iruma.” Ameri confessed.

“Really, then I would love to read First Love Memories with you!” Iruma smiled that causes her heart to beat like crazy.

“A-Anywa, give me your phone. I wish to add my contact, come to me when I summon you for reading time.” Ameri said.

After exchanging contact info, Iruma and Bachiko walk out of the school together as the former is seeing his miss calls being all Grandpa Sullivan probably worried about him.

“Thanks for doing that, asking Ameri to keep my secret and all.” Iruma thanked.

“I’m your mom, it’s something I had to do for you because, well… I care for you.” Bachiko said softly with her cheeks blushing.

“Plus, that girl was lucky to agree otherwise I would have tortured her almost to death until she agreed.” Bachiko said.

“So glad it didn’t come to that!” Iruma exclaimed.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Looks like Bachiko managed to work things out with Ameri agreeing to keep Iruma’s human identity a secret, and Ameri could count herself lucky to come out in one piece, and the short pink demon showed more determination as a mother in that one with her caring for Iruma grows.

Chapter Text

Talk of Ambition for One’s Future

Bachiko has just finished brushing her teeth doing her signature grin before walking about of the bathroom when she notices Opera is approaching her.

“Lady Bachiko, do you have a moment?” Opera asked.

“Sure, what’s up?” Bachiko decided to humor the servant for a little while.

“Do you think Iruma would want to go back to the human world some day?” Opera asked the big question causing Bachiko flinch.

“Huh, why the Hell would he even want to go back after all the crap he’s been through not to mention being abuse and taken advantage by his own fellow kind!” Bachiko yelled though Opera seemed unfazed.

“Even if Iruma goes back to that world, he would be put back in the same situation of being used by everyone and never does anything nor think for himself again.” Bachiko added as she walks past Opera but stops.

“I know this is gonna sound weird coming from me of all demons, but I really want Iruma to live a happy life so he can finally do something for himself and sure the Netherworld may not be the ideal place for a human, but it’s better than not having a home at all.” Bachiko clutched her fist.

“It’ll be up to Iruma if he wants to go back or not, just hope he can grow a backbone.” Bachiko said.

“I see, so you really have grown close to Iruma.” Opera said.

“Well, yeah, I guess… I’m still getting use to this whole mom thing.” Bachiko blushed a bit.

“Well then, what would you feel about if Iruma were to try and raise his rank.” Opera asked another question.

“Iruma raising his rank?” Bachiko surprised a little of the question.

“Well, I guess it wouldn’t be a bad thing for him to do so since all students of Babyls are required to do so.” Bachiko reminded that school rule.

“I did have a little talk with him about that. In order to even think about going to the human world, he would need to raise his rank to the top just as Lord Sullivan.” Opera mentioned as they walk away.

“That’s a little extreme! Don’t you think!” Bachiko yelled.

“Still though, if Iruma does decide to raise his rank then he’ll just stand out more.” Bachiko thought and she sighed.

(Babyls Lunchtime)

The two-headed monster school bell rang alerting everyone that it is lunchtime meaning it is time for everyone to eat.

“Yay! Lunchtime! And also, on top of Sabro Mountain!” Clara excited as she jumps onto Sabro head.

“Iruma-Kin, why don’t you play too? Sabro Climbing!” Clara invited Iruma to play with her.

“Thanks, but I’m good.” Iruma turned down the invite.

“My hardy rival!” Sabro stands up while still having Clara on him.

“Does thou not possess the resolve to conquer the peak known as Sabro?” Sabro asked believing that Iruma is being cocky with climbing on top of him. All this while Clara is still covering his eyes, but he does not need his eyes to know where Iruma is.

“Are you sure you’re okay with this?” Iruma wondered.

“Can I prep first?” Iruma asked.

“Fine, suit yourself.” Sabro said.

Iruma leans his chin onto the desk doing a little deep thinking about that talk he had with Opera about wanting to go back to the human world, but he’s not really sure himself.

“(Go back to the human world, huh? I’ve gotten so use to going with the flow in the Netherworld that I never even thought about it.)” Iruma thought shocked a little in him.

But then he remembers how his adopted mom stood up for him to Ameri about wanting to let him continue living in this demon world, thinking back on that sure made his heart feel great upon hearing her say that.

(With Ameri)

Ameri is sitting at her desk just about to send a text message to Iruma about their reading time.

“I’ll be waiting in the common room, sent.” Ameri sent the text message to Iruma.

“Perhaps it’s rude to just keep sending to him again and aga.” Ameri concerned a bit then got an idea.

“I should try one of the human’s costumes. Come to think of it, I do seem to remember a scene from First Love Memories where a person was summoned as well.” Ameri recalled that scene in the manga.

Rin: Dear Kakeru, I’ll be waiting for you behind the gym after school today. Rin.

“(Dear Iruma, I’ll be waiting for you in the common room after school.)” Ameri thought of a pretty message for Iruma, but she gasps with her face blushing and quickly deleted the message.

“I have no idea why this is so embarrassing!” Ameri exclaimed shock.

(Babyls Cafeteria)

Iruma is enjoying himself with the food of the school finding this to be so delicious as always while Eiko from afar is admiring how Iruma is so cute with such a healthy appetite while eating her own lunch.

But then Iruma started to remember something Opera said this morning.

“You need to only graduate with a high rank thus reopening the door to the human world allowing you to walk right through it.”

“(Me getting a high rank even though I’m not a demon.)” Iruma thought wondered about that.

“(Guess that could happen but ranking high would just make me stand out more. Though there is my mom always telling me to do my best.)” Iruma thought recalled his mom’s words.

“Iruma, sir.” Alice said getting his attention.

“If I may, I’d love to offer you the remain of my lunch meal as well.” Alice said with his tray of good.

“Eat up, Iruma-Kin! Down the hatch!” Clara shoved a loaf of bread into Iruma’s mouth.

“Th-Thanks, Clara.” Iruma thanked mumbling with the bread in his mouth.

“Master Iruma, is something waying on your mind right now?” Alice aske that got Iruma to look at him again.

“If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t” But Alice didn’t get to finish his sentence when Iruma’s phone rang.

“Excuse me.” Iruma picked up his phone seeing it’s a message from Ameri to come to the common room.

“Thanks for lunch! I’m gonna head out for a bit, see ya.” Iruma said as he was about to walk away.

“I shall go with you!” Alice screamed spooking Iruma suddenly.

“Yeah, me too! Me too!” Clara wanted to go where Iruma is going too.

“Sorry, but this is something I really need to do by myself. Be back soon.” Iruma said before running off and leaving both his demon friends in shock.

“Such restless rival.” Sabro commented before eating his piece of big meat, then saw Alice and Clara looking depress.

“What’s up?” Sabro asked.

“Something’s wrong!” Alice screamed from all four on the floor.

“Yeah, wrong!” Clara said with a pouty face which confuses Sabro.

“For the past few days, he’s been wandering off on his own and he won’t tell us anything. Where could he be going? All this stress is keeping me up at night!” Alice exclaimed of big stress.

“I wanna play with Iruma-Kin!” Clara demanded.

“Then why don’t you just follow him.” Sabro suggested.

“I could never do something” Just as Alice was about to object the idea; Clara interrupted him again.

“Great idea! Ready, set, let’s go!” Clara ran off.

“Valac, no!” Alice gasped and hurry after the crazy childish demon girl.

“Iruma-Kin, come out and play!” Clara called out to him.

“If you’re going, I’m coming with.” Alice said.

“Aw, feeling lonely, Azz-Azz?” Clara asked.

“No, it just the though of you going by yourself invoke serious concern in me.” Alice stated his reason.

“I knew it, Azz-Azz is so lonely!” Clara chuckled.

“Did you even hear a word I just said?” Alice asked annoyed of this girl.

“Oh, perhaps I should’ve suggested asking Iruma’s mom for that.” Sabro realized.

(With Ameri)

Ameri is in the middle of a meeting with her fellow Student Council members and some other students from their own group.

“If we all agree, looks like we’ll be declining the request from the Disciplinary Butlers.” Smoke said.

“Do you think we’re still in good standing, having the same budget as we did last year, President?” Western asked Ameri who is thinking of something else.

“President?” Quichelight asked seeing the President is deep in her own thoughts.

“Oh, yes. That’s fine.” Ameri quickly answered.

“We’re done. Dismiss.” Ameri said as she walks away confusing her Council members.

“Huh, President, where are you going?” Western asked.

“To make my rounds.” Ameri said, then remember a question she asked Iruma when he first rea her First Love Memories.

(Flashback)

“What’s this date you speak of?” Ameri asked.

“Oh, umm, well…” Iruma tried to think of the best way to tell her what a date is despite never having the experience himself, but he did learn a few from the manga series.

“It’s when two people who really like each other hang out and have fun.” Iruma explained with a smile.

(Flashback End)

Ameri didn’t know why she was starting to feel a little joy upon learning what that word means and starting to think it’s like how she and Iruma are spending time together.

“It’s a date.” Ameri blurted out with a small smile.

“Did you say date?” The four Student Council members asked shock and confusion at the same time.

Ameri gasp of what she just said.

“Th-That’s my own term for extra patrol of the school! And don’t follow me!” Ameri hurried out of the room.

“But Miss President?” Grave wanted to know something more about this.

“What did I just say?” Ameri yelled fiercely scaring her members to drop it.

(With Bachiko)

“I gotta say, being out here with the place being all quiet, sure is relaxing to have lunch since some of the students know not to mess with me. As if the delinquents had enough problems with the Student Council.” Bachiko chuckled while eating her cookie.

“Although, guess it would be fun to scary them thanks to the detection-warding glasses.” Bachiko smirked showing she is wearing a pink-framed glasses.

Allow me to explain. Detection-warding glasses are magical items that makes the wearer harder to detect. It doesn’t matter how much you stand out, the instant you put these on, not a single person will notice your existence.

“Though to be honest, I don’t really like to wear these much because they’re not really my style even if the color is cute.” Bachiko said as she takes off the glasses.

“Iruma-Kin!” Clara called out suddenly appearing right behind Bachiko and lifting her up from her pillow.

“What the…?” Bachiko shocked before suddenly dropped back on her pillow.

“Hey, what was that for…?” Bachiko shocked to see that Clara is gone in an instant.

“IRUMA-KIN!!” Clara shouted from the top of the monster bell tower.

“WOULD YOU STOP THAT!!” Alice shouted angry.

“This is gonna give me a headache.” Bachiko sighed.

Bachiko forced Clara down from the monster bell tower and have Alice explained what those two are doing right now.

“I see, you’re trying to look for Iruma to where he has been going for the past few days.” Bachiko said understanding this now.

“Yes, we’ve been concerning about him since and all this stress is killing me on the inside to know what he has been up to!” Alice said.

“Iruma-Kin is being selfish for not wanting to play with me!” Clara complained.

“(Aren’t you the selfish one for saying that?)” Bachiko thought asked with a sweatdrop.

“Look, you guys don’t need to worry about Iruma because he is doing fine right now and probably hanging out with President Ameri.” Bachiko revealed.

“What? Master Iruma is with President Ameri as we speak!” Alice gasped.

“President Macaroni and Cheese?” Clara confused about a food being president.

“AMERI! You idiotic gremlin!” Alice yelled to correct the girl.

“Ameri Azazel is the Student Council President who is task with keeping the school in place for the students’ safety and balancing everything that goes on here.” Alice explained.

“I’m still surprise that Master Iruma is close to her at all!” Alice amazed.

“Yeah, she called him for that giant flower incident, but the two work things out and now Ameri likes to call him over to hang out to relax from all the stress of work and school stuff.” Bachiko explained without revealing they also read human books that Iruma can read.

“Oh, I see now. That is brilliant of Master Iruma!” Alice yelled exciting, confusing Bachiko.

“I can see that Iruma has already started to make his move of taking over the school by getting close to the Student Council and forging an alliance! You slain me once again!” Alice cried tears of joy.

“Yeah… You go on and think like that.” Bachiko weirded out from this guy’s wild mind of Iruma.

“I wanna play with Iruma-Kin!” Clara ran off suddenly to find Iruma.

“Hey! No running in the hall, damn it!” Bachiko angered as she chase after Clara with Alice right behind her.

(With Iruma and Ameri)

“Okay, ready to go again? We’ll be starting with volume five since that’s where we left off.” Iruma said holding up the fifth volume manga of First Love Memories.

“Indee!” Ameri excited.

The manga starts with Rin arriving at a location where Kakeru is waiting with a bird on his finger.

Rin: Wait long?

Kakeru: Not long, just got here.

Rin: Where should we go?

Kakeru: Fly safe.

Rin: You’re so kind, Kakeru.

Rin admired how Kakeru was being so nice to that little bird as it flies away and now the panels show the two having a drink together at a café having a conversation.

Kakeru: Do you have a dream, Rin?

Rin: Yes, there was one I pursuit for a really long time. But it finally came true.

Kakeru: Oh?

Rin: My current dream is to use my strength to do all I can to protect the one I love. So, my dream right now is to be a beautiful bride.

This made Kakeru shock in surprise with his cheeks blushing a bit and his heart beating too.

“So, dreams? Ah referring to ambitions!” Ameri believed.

“Well, sure, I guess.” Iruma said, not really sure if they mean the same thing.

“So, now she’ll destroy anyone who tries to get in her way and throw them aside like garbage!” Ameri excited thinking Rin is a warrior too.

“I don’t think we’re on the save page here.” Iruma stated it’s not like that at all.

“So, there won’t be throwing? That’s disappointing.” Ameri sighed a bit.

That’s when Iruma started thinking about people having dreams and goals they want to achieve like how Sabro wants to become the Demon King and will work hard to get there, then he wonders what Ameri’s dream is.

“Ameri, if I can ask, do you have any big dreams for the future?” Iruma asked.

“Dreams? You’re asking me?” Ameri surprised a little, didn’t expect a human to be interested in a demon’s life goals. She looks down at her armband of the Babyls emblem thinking back on her own goal.

“I am very proud to be a demon, through and through.” Ameri said proudly surprising Iruma.

“And my desire is for the other demons to be just as proud. That’s why I want to inspire the minds of the students here and make this a house of learning for any who would long to attend. That is my true ambition.” Ameri explained proudly of her ambition.

Iruma feels shocked upon hearing those words from Ameri like one of those important people back from his old world, and he wants to see her do well too.

“I’ll be helping with my father after I graduate, but it’s clear what I must do before then.” Ameri said.

“Amazing!” Iruma said.

“Although, I also wouldn’t mind working at a barky or a florist either.” Ameri mentioned, a bit embarrassed.

“That’s cute.” Iruma complimented.

“What?! Don’t you have any ambitions to speak of?” Ameri asked, quickly changing the topic to be about Iruma.

“Do I have any? Let me think on that.” Iruma did a little think and nothing big nor grand came to mind.

“Honestly, I’m pretty satisfied with all the people I met in the Netherworld.” Iruma smiled.

“No, that’s only an ideal. I ask you what your ambitions are. Ideals and ambitions are different.” Ameri explained shocking Iruma a bit.

“What I want to know is what you’re eager to achieve, your desire. So, I’ll ask you again, Iruma and tell me the truth. What is your ambition?” Ameri asked again.

“A dream… For me?” Iruma stunned of the question.

(With Bachiko)

“Finally… I got you now… you stupid hyper demon bunny…” Bachiko panted hard almost out of breath as she has finally caught Clara tied up in rope tightly with Alice exhausted as well.

“Iruma-Kin is mine to play with and Azz-Azz is the extra playmate!” Clara yelled.

“Will you just give it a rest already!” Alice shouted in rage.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

It looks like Iruma is going to get a crash course of what it means to have an ambition of your own from Ameri, and Bachiko managed to keep Clara down though something tells me she won’t stay down for long.

Chapter Text

Love Quest of the Crazy-Jealous Clara

Iruma is looking at Ameri who has a serious look on her face while she is waiting for an answer from the question.

“Well, Iruma. Speak up, what is your ultimate dream?” Ameri asked.

“My dream, I guess I… Well, maybe is…” Iruma tried to find an answer to that question, but this is something he never once thought of for himself and the overwhelming question causes his face to become red and fell on his knees with steam coming out.

“Are you okay?” Ameri shocked.

(With Bachiko and Alice)

“GET BACK HERE!” Bachiko yelled as she and Alice are chasing the rolling and angry Clara.

“I can’t believe she literally eat through the rope! What kind of demon does that?” Alice asked shock.

“Apparently one who is crazy beyond insane like her!” Bachiko guessed as she ready another mana arrow to capture Clara.

(Back with Iruma and Ameri)

“My dream…” Iruma said to himself.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize I was making you feel so much stress.” Ameri apologized as she kneels next to him.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Iruma assured though felt a bit ashamed and embarrassed at the same time.

“It just… My entire life, all I allowed myself to think about was what everyone else was asking me to do for them. I never once considered what I want from me.” Iruma explained.

“(I see, so he never thought of himself because of how he was treated and forced to do what others tells him to do. How unfortunate, but maybe this could be his chance to actually start thinking for himself now.)” Ameri thought hoped to help him, she also thinks his former parents are the blame for this too.

“Do it now.” Ameri said, surprising and confusing Iruma.

“If you don’t have one, think.” Ameri suggested as Iruma looks up at her.

“To fly, you must first open your wings.” Ameri said imaging themselves as birds and giving Iruma his first flying lesson.

“Y-Yeah, but…” Iruma decided to try thinking of a goal from himself.

Iruma tries to think of something he really likes or something he comes to admire that could be what make feels like a dream of ambition, but no matter how much thinking he does, his head is always blank of the “dreams” and “ambition” part of his mind.

“I got nothing.” Iruma exclaimed.

“Well, you must climb the ranks then, that is a student’s primarily duty. For now, why not make it your objective to become a Bet.” Ameri suggested.

“A Bet, that could work.” Iruma agreed, thinking he could try going for the same goal the other students would drive for.

“I SAID STOP?!” Bachiko shouted screaming Iruma and Ameri with a loud explosion sound.

“Was that my mom?” Iruma asked shock.

“It’s coming from outside!” Ameri said as they both went to see this for themselves, Ameri quickly put away her book so that no one can see it.

Iruma and Ameri open the door to see what’s all the commotion is about, and they are shock to see Bachiko breathing a little hard like she just ran through a marathon, Alice is also with her with both hands holding up a once again tied up Clara.

“Mom, Alice, Clara? What’s going on here?” Iruma asked.

“Ask your idiot friend here! She wouldn’t be patient to wait until you were done with Ameri.” Bachiko growled.

“Give me back Iruma-Kin!” Clara demanded.

“Sorry bout this, but would you wrapping up your little get together and help us with this?” Bachiko asked her son.

“I am very sorry, sir! I tried helping your mother the best I could, but Clara is like an unstoppable force of nature that cannot be contained!” Alice admitted his shame.

“That’s fine, Iruma and I were just finish talking anyway.” Ameri said confusing Iruma.

“You may go, Iruma. But at least think about what I said about climbing up the ranks, I’ll be waiting for you. Sound good?” Ameri smiled which made Iruma’s heart beat a little bit harder.

“(Was that a badump?)” Iruma thought surprised with his cheeks blushing a little.

(Lord Sullivan’s Home)

“So, you two have been talking about climbing up the ranks?” Bachiko asked as she is sitting on Iruma’s bed.

“Yeah, when I couldn’t think of what I want to do for my dream, Ameri thinks I should first try raising my rank to Bet to help me think.” Iruma explained.

“I see, guess something like that was bond to happen. And who knows, maybe you may find out what your ambition is after raising your rank.” Bachiko said.

“You really think that could happen?” Iruma asked.

“Can’t really say for sure, that all depends on you, kid.” Bachiko stated.

“(All depends on me.)” Iruma thought repeated the words from his mother.

(Next Day)

Clara is hanging out with Sabro on his shoulder and head because Iruma is currently hanging out with Lady Red Hair (nickname for Ameri) again, and it’s really making Clara feel unease too.

“All Iruma-Kin does lately is does spent his playtime with Lady Red Hair, no fair! But how am I ever gonna get him back from her?” Clara asked.

“Connor, Murf?” Clara asked her slippers, but they can only blink in response as they cannot talk even though they are somewhat alive.

“Come on, Sabro! Tell me how?” Clara asked while roughing on Sabro’s hair a little.

“Thou must charm him with thy feminine wiles.” Sabro answered, unfazed of having Clara on his head as always, and Clara is puzzled from the answer.

“From chapter 3 of How to Become the Demon King. If something is taken from you, take it back. If not, take it back anyway. If something is about to be taken from you then you are a demon,use your charms, make them yours and get them hook on you!” Sabro advised strongly.

That’s when a thunderstorm erupted from inside Clara’s head of seeing a clear vision of what she must do.

“(Make them yours and get them hook on you!)” Clara thought imagined Iruma leaving a crying Ameri and towards a gorgeous Clara.

“Just you wait, Iruma-Kin!” Clara chuckled.

(Later)

Bachiko is doing her usual patrol around the school seeing there aren’t any trouble going on right now while eating one of her snacks, then she spotted Iruma and Alice walking by.

“You guys heading to one of your extra classes?” Bachiko asked.

“Yep, we’re going for the lecturing class.” Iruma answered.

“(Of course, you would go for that.)” Bachiko thought sighed, but then notice something off with this picture.

“Hey, I don’t see that crazy girl here. Is she skipping school today?” Bachiko asked.

“No, she’s actually taking a different class than us.” Iruma answered.

“Believe it or not, Clara is taking the Seduction Class with Miss Raim.” Alice revealed.

“What?! Seduction Class! Why in the actual Hell would she go for that?” Bachiko shocked.

“I do not know, and I fear my mind will go blank if I try to think like her.” Alice shrugged as he is confused as well.

“Oh boy, I sure hope Raim doesn’t go overboard with her.” Bachiko sighed.

“I’m sure she’ll be fine.” Iruma hoped.

“Hey, mom?” Iruma said.

“Yeah?” Bachiko responded.

“Why do you have Caim tied up behind you?” Iruma asked as he and Alice notice one of their Misfit classmates being tied up very tightly behind Bachiko.

“He was trying to sneak his way into the Seduction Class when it’s specifically females only.” Bachiko answered.

“I have every right to be in that class with all those sexy and lovely ladies?!” Caim proclaimed.

“I highly doubt that.” Alice deadpanned.

(Seduction Class)

“T-Two…” Raim the Succubus teacher uttered in shock of what she is seeing.

Raim had just used her Sexy Scope to measure the girls’ sexiness with Elizabeta being 89% making her an A, Eiko with 42% and Gaeko being 69% are both Bs along with Keroi at 51%. Dosanko is unknown for some reason as Raim is very shocked.

But for Clara. Oh devil have mercy for the teacher to find out that Clara’s sexiness is at 2%.

“(2%! Even babies are at least 3% sexy! Are you telling me she’s more innocent than a baby? Oh my devil!)” Raim thought gasped in horror shock.

“Miss Raim, what precent am I? A hundred? Or a thousand?” Clara asked, but then Raim dropped some textbooks in front of her.

“Now little child, you’re going to read some special textbooks. Fast! Understand?” Raim assigned Clara to study these books.

“Special books?” Clara asked.

“Indeed.” Raim said with a serious look on her face.

“Roger!” Clara saluted and ready herself for her first seduction to win back Iruma-Kin.

“Whoa, Miss Raim looks super serious just now!” Gaeko shocked.

“It looks like Clara just became her main focus and I’m feeling a little bad for her.” Eiko gulped.

“I’m sure she’ll be fine; she does have her own way to making things feel so lovely.” Elizabeta believed.

“My first seduction. Here we go!” Clara determined.

Throughout the one week of the seduction class, Clara has been going through all the steps in the books Miss Raim gave her and followed them the best she could in order to get Iruma to fall head over heels for her.

But it hasn’t been going well. Clara got the pose wrong when trying to make herself look cute, but Iruma thought she is trying out a new workout session.

Clara tried teaching to make him feel desire to have her only for that plan to be backfired when Iruma got her to play pattycake, she soon retreated before she could get into the pattycake more.

Clara wore a goofy looking furry-like dress because she thought it would grab Iruma’s attention for the chimney charm part, but that ended up getting Alice’s attention to drag her away and forced her to take off the dress.

Clara then tried wearing an alluring scent that could get any guys to compliment how pretty she smells, but unfortunately, she ended up using too much of the perfume to make her smell gross and toxic to the boys.

Clara decided to go for the makeup which only ended up making her look like a clown causing most of the boys to laugh, even Bachiko thought she was trying to be stupidly funny again.

All in all, they ended in failure to try making Iruma fall in love with her.

Clara arrived home and greeted by her family.

“Welcome home, sis!” Clara’s two younger brothers who are twins, Konchie and Keebow.

Konchie has green hair and eyes as well as has two curved horns. He wears a white pocketed t-shirt with navy color collars and matching color pants.

Keebow Keebow has green eyes and hair with shaven sides and as well as has two curved horns. He wears a white shirt that has a green capital U in the center and green and red cuffs. He also wears red and green pants.

Clara’s two youngest siblings who are also twins and infants are Sin Sin and Ran Ran. Ran Ran has green eyes and hair worn in twin ponytails and as well as has two curved horns. She wears a pink infant outfit. Sin Sin has green eyes and hair worn in a sprout-like ponytail and as well as has two curved horns. He wears a purple infant clothing.

Clara’s mom, Mrs. Valac, also has lime green eyes and hair with a straight-across fringe, sharp teeth, and ram-like horns. She is taller than all of her children. Her hair is pulled back into a large, long, poofy ponytail. She wears a light pink dress with long sleeves that are puffed at the shoulders, under a green apron.

The family say that Clara is responding to their welcome home call and saw that she looks very sad, Sin and Ran Ran tried climbing onto her while Konchie and Keebow called her to dummy to get an angry respond from her. But nothing happened.

Clara just let out a sigh, so the baby twins decided to try giving her some kisses and it seems to work and more when the mom kissed her forehead.

“Yep, I’m back!” Clara cheered, back to her old self again.

“Now, give me some sugar! Special Move: The Reserve Kiss!” Clara gave kisses onto her siblings and her mom.

“Oh wow, that was a really nice feeling!” Konchie and Keebow surprised.

(Music: Valac Family Smooching Song)

Clara and her siblings are now sitting together at the family stomp table for dinnertime and move around to the music.

Valac Siblings: Smooch, smooch, smooch! Who’s number one when it comes to being the cutest? You know that it’s Clara!
Clara: Oh yeah!

Mrs. Valac just finished making a stack of pancakes for dinner and tosses them from the frying pan like frisbees aiming for the kids in their mouths.

Valac Siblings: Smooch, smooch, smooch! Who’s number one when it comes to the enchantment? That would be Ke-ebow!
Keebow and Konchie: And Konchie too!
Mrs. Valac: Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Suddenly the scene changes with Clara running happily through some thorned trees and the scene becomes colorful that is mostly pain

Clara: Roll with me! Energy unbound!
Valac Siblings: Smooch, smooch, smooch! Who’s number one when it comes to the trouble that they cause?
Sin Sin and Ran Ran: Sin Sin! Ran Ran!

Now there is Clara’s mom dancing in that same forest with the blue sky as well feeling very happy with her children.

Valac Siblings: Smooch, smooch, smooch! Who’s number one when it comes to being more beautiful? No that it’s our mommy!
Mrs. Valac: Oh, why thank you!

Now the scene changes to Clara sailing on a ship dress up like a black pirate looking through a telescope and sees a giant head of Iruma rising from the horizon.

Mrs. Valac: No matter how far the goal! You got an ace in the hole!

The Valac family are now brushing their teeth together to get ready for bedtime.

Valac Siblings: There’s no need to feel sad, wash all those blues away!
Clara: Now it’s pink!

Now the younger Valac siblings have been tucked away in their sleeping bags and Clara is giving them each a goodnight kiss.

Clara: Number one in all the world! What’s the most amazing, most perfect thing!
Valac Family: Only the smooch, smooch! Come in line for smooch, smooch!

Finale shows of Clara and her family wearing green theme color fancy dance clothes with Clara in the middle.

Clara: It’s a big…
Valac: Kiss for you!
Clara: Oh yeah!

And the curtain close ending the family song.

(Music End)

“A kiss… that’ll make a miracle happen.” Clara whispered to herself, knowing what she has to do next with a smile.

(The Next Day)

“I see, so the newbie teacher is finally going to show up.” Kalego said while walking with Bachiko.

“Yeah, stupid Robin finally just realize this and will be coming soon after the ranking exam.” Bachiko informed.

“Let’s hope he doesn’t screw up.” Kalego hoped this new teacher doesn’t make him feel angry.

“He knows when to get things done but let just say he will be most intense for you.” Bachiko smirked, feeling excited when her cousin finally comes to teach at Babyls.

But then the two demon adults saw something strange and unexpected in the hallway.

They saw Clara wearing her awful makeup combined with her weird yellow dress and the awful smelly perfume and seems to be charging right for Iruma jumping for a big smooching kiss.
However, Iruma’s dodging ability got him to dodge and Clara ended up smacking her big lips right on the belly of Kalego knocking him down on the floor.

“Oh! Eggie-teach!” Clara gasped, and Bachiko just laughs out loud upon seeing that Kalego has been knocked down by her own students, and she would remember this for days.

Kalego slowly gets back up with his body emitting a very dangerous demonic aura with his eyes glowing red as he turns his head glaring at the Valac girl.

“Silence! You know what comes next, yes?” Kalego asked.

“Yep!” Clara nodded.

Now Clara is seen writing on the chalkboard repeating the same words about repeating teachers and stuff, and Bachiko is with her.

“So, you’ve been trying to make Iruma fall for you because he’s been hanging out with Ameri more?” Bachiko asked.

“Yeah, I don’t want Lady Red Hair to take Iruma-Kin away from me.” Clara nodded.

“Sheesh, where did you get such a stupid idea? Ameri isn’t taking him away, she just likes to hang out with him as friends, same you and Iruma.” Bachiko pointed out.

“Besides, wouldn’t you feel happy to have more friends which would also make your life… more exciting?” Bachiko asked, hoping this would cheers her up a bit.

“More friends? Oh, I didn’t really think about that.” Clara realized.

“But even so, I’m not going to lose to Lady Red Hair even though I do want to be friends with her!” Clara declared.

“Well, at least you don’t some mad at Ameri anymore… I think.” Bachiko hoped she sat the girl straight.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Well, Clara has decided to go for the seduction path to win over Iruma’s heart though most of them ended up in failure, but at least Bachiko was able to calm her down from the jealousy a bit. And I’m sure you know the rest of Clara becoming 10% sexy too.

Chapter Text

Going for the Bet of Ranking

Alice has seen Iruma do amazing things since the start of this school year such as beating him in a duel, taming the guardian of Cut Throat Valley, summon one of their teachers as his own familiar, creating the giant pink tree, and even became friends with the Student Council President.

Alice had thought there would be nothing else for his Master Iruma until now at lunch break.

“What? So, you want to… climb the ranks?” Alice asked making sure he heard that right.

“Iruma, exactly.” Iruma nodded while petting on Clara’s head who napping on his lap.

“For now, all I wanna do is climb from Alef to Bet. If you don’t mind, I was hoping you’d be willing to show me how to do that.” Iruma said, then Alice stands up immediately surprising the boy.

Iruma gasp upon seeing Alice suddenly crying like crazy with rivers of tears.

“(I almost thought Master Iruma had no interest in rising in the ranks, but I knew it must’ve been secretly eating away at him.)” Alice thought sobbed.

“Huh, what’s wrong?” Iruma asked, feeling weirded out and worried of this reaction coming from Alice.

“(And why wouldn’t he be?!)” Alice thought shouted.

“(Master Iruma did something unpresented such as making the Guardian of Cut Throat Valley his pet yet his rank was immeasurable! He obviously can’t be ranked on the same scale as the rest of us demons, but that’s no reason to place at the lowest rank of Alef!)” Alice thought recalled the flight exam.

“Believe me! When you were rank an Alef, I was just as displease and confuse as well.” Alice said right up to the shocked Iruma.

“I was becoming numb from all of our degenerate classmates who lack ambitions, but moving up in the ranks is a demon’s pure pride! Let’s get you to the top!” Alice excited for this.

“Now, it’s time to prepare!” Alice declared.

“Uh, yeah, sure.” Iruma said, just going along with this.

“Prepare for what?” Clara asked as she just woke up from Alice’s loud ranting.

“What else?!” Alice yelled surprising the two.

“For Master Iruma to quickly soar to the highest rank of Yodh! And then reign over… the entirety of Babyls!” Alice shouted loudly for all the other students to have just heard that, and this would cause Iruma to go shock in pale.

“Wow, Iruma is going to reach raise up his rank! Isn’t that cool!” Eiko amazed.

“Let just hope he doesn’t let it go over his head.” Gaako said.

“Promotion, please!” Clara asked Camu Camu who just says “No” to her and told her to go away.

“Huh… Hey Azz, I’m totally fine with just getting to Bet rank.” Iruma exclaimed to Alice as he does not like the attention which confuses the hair pink demon a bit.

“What, but I thought…” Alice puzzled of this.

“Iruma, I should’ve known all this commotion was your doing.” Bachiko walked through the crowd.

“Oh, hi mom!” Iruma gasped.

“I-I was just telling Azz that I just wanted to go up to Bet.” Iruma explained a bit.

“I see, so he went overexcited. Kids these days.” Bachiko shook her head sighing.

“Listen Azz, Iruma is taking things slow to build himself up to a great demon and doesn’t want to rush things like the rankings. Just keep that in mind.” Bachiko explained to Alice.

“(Taking things slow? Oh, I see now! Master Iruma is trying build up his statue as a demon to everyone before deciding on increasing his rank, he wants everyone to know his might when the time is right!)” Alice thought believed, which is totally wrong.

“I apologize, Master Iruma. Your mother has made things very clear to me now.” Alice apologized with a bow.

“Thanks for helping me, mom. But I think Azz may have taken that a little too seriously.” Iruma whispered to his adopted demon mom.

“Better than him trying get you to become Yodh too soon.” Bachiko shrugged.

“Let this be known… Master Iruma will prepare himself to raise up to the rank of Bet where he shall begin his path of conquest!” Alice announced to the other students.

“This is becoming too much for me!” Iruma embarrassed as he covers his face with his hands.

“Bet? That’s it?” One demon student confused.

“Didn’t you hear what Asmodeus said? Iruma might go for a higher rank after Bet? Another demon student pointed out.

“I’m so devi-hype!” One demon student with two mouths excited as the students leave.

“Oh, but if Iruma becomes a Bet then he and I won’t be in the same rank anymore!” Eiko gasped of realization.

“You could try ranking up too, you know.” Gaako said.

Then some of the students from the Misfit Class also heard the sudden announcement from Alice about Iruma which got their attention.

“That sounds like fun.” Lied said.

“Now, let us go, Master Iruma!” Alice smiled at his blue hair lord.

“O-Okay…” Iruma said, might as well go see what Azz has in store for him to raise up in the rank.

“Don’t forget your third crazy devi-wheel.” Bachiko said pulling Clara away from an angry Camu Camu.

“Yeah, yeah, come on! Take me away!” Clara dared them too.

“Don’t make this any weirder!” Bachiko shouted.

(Underground Hallway)

Iruma, Alice, Clara, and Bachiko are walking together down the stairs that would lead them to the Misfit classroom but this time they are going further down past that, and they appear at an open area with white lines that Iruma thinks those are for sports like back in the Human world.

“Where are we?” Iruma asked.

“This is Babyls’ underground gym.” Alice answered.

“I never knew an insane place like this was under our classroom, I’m blown away!” Iruma amazed of the place.

“It’s huge!” Clara exclaimed exciting.

“Hey, Connor! Hey, Murf! You can run around all you want down here! And I’m rolling!” Clara started rolling down the stairs all the way to the floor level.

“But they’re not doing the running.” Iruma chuckled.

“Seriously? Why even bother telling her shoes they can run when she’s just going to roll like that?” Bachiko asked. She could never figure this girl out at all.

After everyone caught up with Clara on the floor level, Bachiko steps in front of the three students to do a little explaining.

“Okay, listen you. If you want to raise up to a rank then you will need to pass the periodic promotion exam and really get a good mark on it.” Bachiko said.

“Promotion…?” Iruma asked.

“Exam?” Clara confused as Iruma is.

“Yup, this exam is one week away and this exam you will need to get your body in shape because… You’ll be playing some Execution Cannonball!” Bachiko grinned.

“Execution…!” Iruma shocked.

“Cannibal?” Clara said getting the last word wrong.

“Cannonball! Can’t you at least pretend to try!” Alice yelled angry at Clara.

“Asmodeus, you do the explaining on this one.” Bachiko decided to pass on the little lecture to Alice while she takes out her snack.

“Now listen up, this is very important.” Alice said to his two friends.

“Execution Cannonball was once use as a way to suppress the sudden outbreak of demons battling over their territories. It was nothing short of a total massacre. We used weapons called caimans, when they bit down on their prey, they wouldn’t let go until only bloody shreds were left.” Alice explained about the exam event.

“The first of them to enter an enemy’s castle and eliminate everyone in said would emerge victories.” Alice mentioned how the game ends.

“That’s horrifying!” Iruma gulped in fear.

“Yeah, the game was really brutal with so much death happening that the number of demons in the Netherrealm would have gone way down and way messier than now.” Bachiko stated.

“For real! Like the demons themselves becoming endanger species!” Iruma gasped.

“I guess you could say that, but luckily for us that all change into a better less bloody sport over the years.” Bachiko assured.

“She is right, nowadays we use this ball instead of caimans. It’s safer.” Alice showed them the green ball with the Babyls’ emblem.

“That’s doable.” Iruma relieved as Clara nods.

“And to conserve time and money, we now use these territories mark by lines instead of castles.” Alice gestured over to the white line rectangle.

“Super effective!” Iruma said.

“Those who are hit, must move to the sidelines.” Alice started explaining about the rules.

“Make sense.” Iruma nodded.

“Let’s get this thing started!” Clara excited as she moves to the sideline of the field.

“But even from the sidelines, you can come back as soon as you hit an enemy with the ball.” Alice added.

“Valac, you conger up the Curse Puppets so we can have enough players.” Alice ordered.

“You got it!” Clara nodded as she makes creates the Curse Puppets from her magic pockets with them going on both sides of the field.

“Alright, practice begins now!” Alice declared.

Everyone started, which also means the Curse Puppets are doing their part, to practice the dodging of the cannonball though Iruma is already good at dodging until the moment came crashing down when Iruma got the ball in his hands.

“THIS IS JUST DODGEBALL!!” Iruma yelled feeling a little frustrated.

“I sort of piece it together during the rundown…” Iruma exclaimed on one knee.

“Is everything alright, Master Iruma?” Alice asked.

“(It looks like Iruma is having a moment, like thinking this game could be easy since it’s on the down level like this.)” Bachiko thought guessed.

“(But I think Iruma is forgetting one thing…)” Bachiko thought narrowed her eyes.

Just when Iruma was feeling calm of this demon dodgeball game, something fast flew past his head and slams into a spiked rock, this scared Iruma and turn to see the culprit of the ball thrower.

“Sabnock, what?!” Iruma gasped.

“A death battle to climb the ranks? Thou did not disappoint!” Sabro smirked.

“Oh, there you are. We’re bored, so how about letting us play too.” Jazz walked in with the rest of the Misfit Class.

“Let’s play, let’s play!” Lied and Elizabeta said in union for excitement.

“Harmony is the greatest virtue.” Allocer stated.

“This is such an annoying pain…” Agares yawned on his floating cloud pillow.

Then everyone got in position and Sabnock threw the ball strong like before heading right for Gaap.

“Get ready for maximum merriment!” Sabro shouted exciting.

“Special Technique: Wind-Sword Kill!” Gaap cut the ball in half and each half were sent to different targets.

One half went for the frighten Kerori and the other going for Agares, but they were able to defend themselves from the flying half balls with Kerori using ice to catch it and Agares form a rocky wall to defend himself though annoyed of the loud noises.

“I’m not done yet! Take this and this and this and this!” Sabro threw more of the balls fast and strong like they energy blasts.

“That guy is a beast!” Jazz commented as he and Lied watch this.

“You boys want candy?” Clara offered some candies to them.

“(This isn’t layback at all!)” Iruma thought gasped.

“So, you’re finally remembering that these people are demons meaning we’re super stronger than humans in your former home world.” Bachiko walked up to her adopted son.

“I am… I don’t think I can climb the ranks, not like this? Ameri will be so disappointed.” Iruma exclaimed as he fell on his knees.

“Well, then you’re going to need some training.” Bachiko stated.

“Did you say training, Lady Bachiko?” Alice asked as he overheard little of the conversation.

“Yeah, I’m thinking about helping Iruma to start doing some offense then just dodging.” Bachiko answered.

“Oh, does that include training him in your family’s Bloodline Ability because I have yet to witness that power in action!” Alice excited with his eyes becoming stars.

Bachiko mentally gasp upon hearing about teaching Iruma her Bloodline Ability which she knows demons will want to question that on Iruma, but that also brought up some bad memories from several years back when she used to teach some students about something and how they all quit on her.

“(Damn it, those idiots…)” Bachiko thought clutched her fists and gritted her teeth.

“Mom, are you okay?” Iruma asked, his soft voice brought her back from the dark memories.

“I’m fine, just thinking about your training for the next week once we get home.” Bachiko said as she walks away.

“Oh yeah, everyone of the Misfit Class, listen up!” Bachiko shouted getting their attention.

“Just to let you know that I informed Kalego about you being here for the Execution Cannonball exam, so you’re off the hook for today. But be prepared for when he gives you some extra lectures or homework, or maybe both.” Bachiko informed.

“Oh crap, she just had to say that!” Lied freaked out.

“Iruma, come on. We’re going home early.” Bachiko said.

“Yes, mom!” Iruma stood up and follow his mom out of the gym.

(Sullivan’s Home)

“Okay, you ready to start training your throw?” Bachiko asked holding the ball to Iruma.

“Yeah, sure though I’m a bit concerned that the cha-I mean grandpa is here.” Iruma looked over to Sullivan standing next to them.

“When I heard that you two were leaving school early, I knew it had to be a mother-son moment I wanted to capture on the devi-lens!” Sullivan giggled explaining.

“Of course, that’d be your reason.” Bachiko and Iruma said at the same time.

“Okay, now try throwing the rock over there.” Bachiko pointed at the rock about over fifteen feet across from Iruma.

“I don’t know, I’m a terrible thrower.” Iruma stated nervously.

“Just try throwing the ball so I can see what I’m working with.” Bachiko ordered.

Iruma nodded and comply as he ready himself to throw the ball, with some advice from Sullivan about his stance, and then threw the ball as hard as he could only going as far as six half.

“Yeah, you’re a very weak thrower.” Bachiko pointed out bluntly.

“I told you so…” Iruma said weakly.

“Hey, don’t go sad on me. It just means we need to work on strengthening your arms to throw properly, your dodging skills is crazy but you’ll need to learn on how to fight back at some point.” Bachiko stated as she picks up the ball.

“Well, I was going to suggest having him use the Libera spell so he can destroy the competition!” Sullivan said.

“What, no! I don’t want to destroy anybody!” Iruma gasped.

“Sorry, Lord Sullivan, but I want Iruma to pass the promotion exam without using magic.” Bachiko said surprising the two.

“Really? I was basically thinking the same thing, I don’t wanna win with using grandpa’s magic.” Iruma explained.

“Good, because I was thinking of having a special reward for Iruma when he pass the exam and get promoted to Bet.” Bachiko said.

“Really, a reward! What kind?” Iruma asked.

Bachiko started to smirk as she spins the ball fast on her finger with the tip of her finger starts to glow of her demonic pink aura.

“Iruma Barbatos, if you can pass the exam and claim the rank of Bet then I will teach you our family’s Bloodline Ability known as Full Mark!” Bachiko declared surprising Iruma so much.

“(Bachiko, it would seem you have started to grow more than I realize!)” Sullivan thought and held Iruma’s hands casting a little spell on his adopted grandson’s hands.

“Here, I use a little magic to strengthen your hands to catch the ball because you could feel some pain. This is to help with that.” Sullivan said.

“Wow, thank you very much, grandpa!” Iruma thanked smiling so cute that Sullivan squeals and hugging himself.

“Are you okay?” Bachiko asked.

“I need to hold onto the moment in my memories to have it forever!” Sullivan giggled.

“Oh yeah, I also asked one more person to help with this training and you better believe he’s not going to hold anything back for the entire week.” Bachiko turned around seeing that demon.

“I am here, ready to help with Iruma’s training to pass.” Opera greeted with a cage basket of balls inside and one being hold in their hand.

“Oh, good luck with them!” Sullivan chuckled which got Iruma worry.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The Execution Cannonball is right around the corner as Iruma is gonna train hard in order to get the promotion of Bet, and it looks like there’s gonna be a special reward for him as Bachiko promised to teach him the Barbatos Bloodline Ability.

Chapter Text

Training to Catch and Throw a Ball

"Come on, Iruma! You gotta stand your ground and keep your eyes OPEN for the ball!" Bachiko yelled, coaching Iruma for this training.

"I'm trying, but it's really hard to do that when my body just keeps moving." Iruma exclaimed and dodge another extreme fast ball from Opera.

"Now Master Iruma, try to pay more attention to the ball even when someone is talking to you as well." Opera said as they picked up another ball and threw it strong at Iruma as he dodges it again.

It has been four days since Iruma's training for the rank exam has begun as Bachiko and Opera have been trying to get Iruma to catch the ball since he's already so good with dodging, but it has been very difficult with how he keeps suddenly dodge the ball.

It is now nighttime, and they had just finished dinner as Bachiko wants to give Iruma some late-night training to get him into training at any available time before the Execution Cannonball rank up exam.

"Okay, let's stop for a moment." Bachiko ordered as she walks up to Iruma.

"Iruma, you know you can't always keep dodging every trouble you come across. What if there is something faster than you and your dodging won't be enough?" Bachiko asked.

"I don't know, I never been in that kind of situation before." Iruma admitted.

"Well, now you'll have to think about it." Bachiko yelled a bit.

"There are times you'll need to keep your feet firm on the ground and face the danger head on," Bachiko pointed out as she walks around her son.

"It's about you demon up and show danger you're not gonna run away anymore." Bachiko stated.

"But danger is scary and could kill me!" Iruma worried.

"Life is always danger even when things may seem peaceful, which is why you gotta stand up for yourself." Bachiko grabbed his cheeks with his hands.

"There's gotta be something we can do to make you face the danger." Bachiko tried to think of something.

"Well, all that training is making me a little hungry." Iruma commented as he rubs his belly.

Bachiko groans a bit from how her son is thinking about food right now when he should be focus on getting himself ready for the exam, his very life is on the line which is mostly is because he will get very hurt from the Execution Cannonball.

But suddenly the idea just came into her mind.

"(I'm not really sure if that will really work, but this is Iruma we're talking about, so it's our best shot.)" Bachiko thought decided to go with it.

"Alright Iruma, I think I know a way for you to start catching the ball." Bachiko said.

"You like food, and you always been the one to savior them." Bachiko pointed out.

"Of course, I made sure to savior every bite and not leave a spec behind." Iruma nodded.

"And you don't like food to be wasted like say an unfinished meal being thrown away in the trash, right?" Bachiko asked.

"Oh no, that's the worse thing you can do toward food and very rude, who would even do something like that?" Iruma asked.

"Well then, try pretending the ball is food that is about to be thrown away in a trashcan and you want to stop that from happening. That way, you'll be able to catch the ball, and make sure your eyes are open too." Bachiko instructed as she pushes Iruma back into position.

"Okay, I'll try." Iruma said.

Bachiko looks over at Opera giving him a nod which they responded with a nod of their own and look over at Iruma seeing that he is ready, aside from the legs shaking up and all, and didn't hesitate to throw the fast ball again.

Iruma dodge the ball again though he quickly remembers what his demon mom said about pretending the ball is food and he has to save that food to not let it go to waste.

"(Come on, Iruma, you can do this. You can't let her down, let anyone down!)" Iruma thought determined to get through this training.

Iruma got himself back up and face Opera once more, but this time with a slightly more determined look on himself which surprises them a bit almost like something change in him just a tiny bit.

Opera threw the ball again waiting to see if something will change this time, and it has because Iruma was able to move himself toward the ball instead of dodging it but could not catch it though his finger was able to make a contact on it for an instant.

"Alright, now we're getting somewhere." Bachiko smirked.

"Impressive, you didn't dodge this time." Opera commented.

"Yeah, I just did what mom told me and imagine the ball to be food that was about to be wasted then try to catch it." Iruma explained.

"But I couldn't catch it." Iruma sighed.

"You may not have been able to catch it right now, but that doesn't mean you won't with some more training, and you'll be able to eve catch a speeding arrow." Bachiko believed.

"That is if he doesn't get impale by one first." Opera stated which made Iruma flinch in fear of the thought.

"Now, let's going until bedtime." Bachiko ordered.

"Yes, mom!" Iruma saluted.

And so, the training continues with Iruma trying to catch the ball during the night and through the next day which appears to be going better than Bachiko had hope coming up with that mind training method for Iruma.

"You almost got it!" Bachiko called out.

"Go! Go! Go, Iruma-kin!" Clara cheered with pompoms.

"I have to say, Iruma currently looks like he's been through a fight with several demon thugs." Alice commented, seeing how exhausted Iruma looks and his hands look very rough too.

"Yeah, it may seem like that, but as the old saying goes "no pain, no gain" and Iruma must learn that sometimes, feeling pain means you're alive." Bachiko stated.

"Such wise words, I bet you try saying that to all the demons you bested in combat." Alice amazed with the words.

"Not really, it just came to me somehow." Bachiko shrugged.

"Here comes the next one, Master Iruma. Be ready!" Opera called out with one hand in their hand.

"Oh, I bet Azz-Azz's shoes that Iruma catches this one!" Clara made a bet with an exciting smile.

"Why do you keep betting for my shoes and what would you even do with them anyway?" Alice asked in anger and frustration of this girl.

Opera threw the ball with his normal crazy arm strength again and Iruma has his eyes fixed on the ball not wanting to take his eyes off it, and he jumps for the ball with every strength in his legs and every ounce of speed he could muster with the determination to catch this ball while thinking of everyone who supported him like his demonic family and friends.

"(I have to…)" Iruma thought watched his hands getting closer to the ball.

"(Watch and catch the ball)!" Iruma thought felt more determined than ever before.

And then it happen, after all the five and a half days of training to get Iruma to catch the ball instead of dodging it has finally bear its fruit when the blue-haired boy finally caught the ball right into his hands.

"YES!" Iruma shouted in victory.

"Master Iruma did it!" Alice smiled I pure joy for Iruma.

"Hooray! Iruma caught the ball! That means Azz-Azz's shoes are now mine!" Clara cheered both for Iruma and wanting Alice shoes.

"I never even agree to such a stupid bet?!" Alice snapped.

"(Well done, kid. Looks like you're finally growing out of your shell.)" Bachiko thought smiled proudly for her adopted son.

Alice and Clara went over to cheer Iruma for a job well done on catching the ball as the human in secret himself is feeling really happy.

"Mom, I really caught the ball!" Iruma said holding the ball above his head.

"Yeah, I saw. But don't celebrate too soon, we still got two days left until the cannonball exam that we need to get you start throwing." Bachiko stated.

"But I'm a terrible thrower." Iruma reminded her of his weak demonstration of a weak.

"Duh, I know that, and we're going to make you a better thrower if it's the last thing we do!" Bachiko determined with a strong and scary look on her face while being surrounded by an intense pink aura.

"Wow! Your mom is being so bright and pretty!" Clara commented.

"Clara, I don't think you should be saying that to her right now." Iruma worried.

"For the rest of the day, we're going to continue your catching and tomorrow is the throwing training. Got it?" Bachiko asked.

"Yes, mom." Iruma nodded.

(The Next Day)

Iruma goes for throwing the ball again only to end up in the exact same distance just like before with no improvements through the past three hours since breakfast.

"You need to twist your hips a bit to the side from the arm you're going to throw the ball, and extend your arm forward some more then fling your waist for the throw." Bachiko ordered.

"Okay, I'll try." Iruma nodded.

Iruma got himself into position and perform the ball throwing once more and this time with the advice his mom gave him, and it seems the ball has gotten further than before.

"Congratulation, you were able to go one foot longer." Opera announced.

"I have, really?" Iruma amazed.

"Still not good enough, you need to throw farther than that. Time to do some arm workouts like pushups and weightlifting." Bachiko stated.

And so, the physical training for Iruma to throw better have started with the boy struggling with some of the basics to get some body strength into his arms with only one day left until the exam and Iruma is still not entirely ready.

"Come on, you gotta position yourself to make the ball go further than that. Pretend it's like you're pulling an arrow back onto the bow and concentrate on the aim, and when you're ready to shoot then release the hold!" Bachiko instructed while getting Iruma in position.

"But I've never used a bow and arrow." Iruma mentioned.

But Iruma is enjoying the time with his demonic adopted mother with all this training to make him ready for the exam and feels like she is trying to teach him a thing or two about archery.

"Come on, Iruma-kin! Make yourself go up!" Clara cheered while sitting on Iruma's back for the pushup exercise.

"You're fortune that Lady Bachiko permitted you to sit on Iruma's back otherwise I would have roasted you!" Alice glared.

"(Huh, but I wanted to be the weight to help Master Iruma grow stronger!)" Alice thought winced in his inner thoughts.

Bachiko is having some tea and sweets serve by Opera, and then there is one thing that Bachiko thought about that might help with her son.

"Hey Iruma, come over here for a second." Bachiko said.

"Coming!" Iruma came over to his mom.

"Do you remember the first time you set foot in Babyls, when you fought Alice?" Bachiko asked, bringing up the first step of how Iruma's life became a bit more complicated with that fight.

"Oh yeah, Azz was really angry with me for stealing the spot for the first-year student speech and he tried to burn me alive." Iruma recalled those moments.

"Really? You tried to make Iruma a BBQ lunch?" Clara asked Alice as she overheard this conversation.

"No, it wasn't about food, you idiot?!" Alice growled.

"It was back when I only thought about myself and wanting to uphold my family's name, and then I challenged Master Iruma to a duel that showed me how outclass I was when it comes to his mighty strength that he even knocked me unconscious with just one move!" Alice explained.

"It was in that very moment I realize my destiny to follow Iruma for he is the one will bring all demons in the Netherrealm to their knees, and Iruma would be at the very top!" Alice bragged with tears of joy streaming down from his face.

"Please don't make it a big deal!" Iruma begged, but Alice wasn't listening.

"Right… Anyway, the reason I'm bringing this up is because of how you counter Alice's charge before the suplex move. Do you remember that?" Bachiko asked.

"Oh, you mean the flaming sword Alice made? Yeah, I was really scared back then with my body avoiding the danger though I almost let Eiko get hurt in the process." Iruma remembered that moment.

"But wait, why do you even want to know about that?" Iruma was confused by this conversation.

"I just thought of a way for you to do a great throw, a counterattack." Bachiko smirked.

"A counterattack?" Iruma wondered what this counterattack his mom could be thinking about.

Nighttime has come and now Iruma is resting on his rest while Bachiko, Sullivan, and Opera watch the sleeping as they carefully close the door.

"He's clearly worked hard again, hasn't he?" Sullivan said.

"Yeah, he's working very hard, probably more than he ever had to back in his former life. But I say Iruma is gonna be just fine." Bachiko believed.

"You maybe right, but it also looked like he was having the most fun." Opera believed.

"That's good to hear, then that means he's ready as he could possibly be." Sullivan nodded.

"You got that right. The rest is all on him." Bachiko hoped Iruma doesn't screw this up.

(Next Day, Execution Cannonball Promotion Exam Day)

The day of the Execution Cannonball Promtion Exam has arrived.

Iruma is now sitting at the dining table eating his big breakfast course along with Bachiko and Sullivan watching him with a smile.

"The day is finally here! How are you doing? You feel pretty good about your chances?" Sullivan asked.

"I do, or that's what I'm telling myself, at least." Iruma said with a nervous smile.

"Yeah, any younglings like yourself would feel pretty nervous when it comes to a promotion exam like this. Even making you feel frighten." Bachiko stated.

"If that's the case, here's one last piece of advice." Opera said before drinking a cup of tea.

"Isn't that my tea?" Sullivan asked, a little hurt from his servant drinking his tea.

"You can consider this a life hack for future use." Opera said, completely ignoring Sullivan exclaiming for his tea.

"A life hack?" Iruma wondered what this could be.

"It's an old Netherrealm technique to get ourselves through predicaments. Fear brings utter humiliation for demons. In regard to survival, the competitive society like the Netherrealm fearing your enemies basically get you defeated sooner than expected." Opera explained.

"Yeah, it can get pretty intense if you don't bold yourself up when being scared." Bachiko said.

"I'm not sure if I follow." Iruma said.

"What she means if the more scared you are, the bolder you must be. Transform your fears into excitement." Opera said before drinking Sullivan's tea again.

"Don't worry about understanding it now, you'll come to it in the exam." Bachiko grinned.

Then Iruma heard Clara calling out loud and Alice announced they have come to pick him up, he thanks Opera for the food and tied his hair into a ponytail.

"(That's it, I just have to be prepared and step up.)" Iruma thought felt he is ready now.

(Babyls, Underground Gym)

The entire Misfit Class are within the underground gym getting ready for the promotion exam to start as some are trying to claim that one is gonna win like Sabro though some just want to get this over with like Shaxx who wants to play his game.

"Iruma, sir. Let's show them what all of your training have let up to!" Alice said.

"Yeah." Iruma nodded while Clara shouted happily and threw her feet up.

"Silence, you clowns! Pay attention as we go over the rules." Kalego said, then he snapped his fingers to summon the silly heart character explanation guide which he still does not like.

"Execution Cannonball! It's super easy, check it! 1. Each team should have one person station outside of the field. 2. Everyone else stands within the field. 3. If the ball hits you, you're off the field. It's okay to attack from out of bounds, but please note that even if you hit someone, you cannot return to the field. 4. You may only use magic on the ball, direct attacks on your opponents are forbidden. Now let's all pla" Kalego slammed the cutie explaining guide down on the ground and crushing it under his foot.

Yep, he still hates it.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The promotion rank exam is about to start with the students about to do the extreme test to prove themselves if one will deserve a rank, and now we're going to see how Iruma's training is going to pay off to take the first step to make his own ambition.

KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!

Chapter Text

Execution Cannon Ball Exam of Survival!

"Your promotion will be determined by which team will triumph, as well as by the rankings of the opponents you hit." Kalego explained and gesture to a box with red and yellow armbands.

"Here are the armbands for team A and B. Team A is yellow, and Team B is red. Once you put them on, split up." Kalego instructed and each student got their armband.

"It's finally time." Alice said to Iruma.

"I'm so nervous!" Iruma exclaimed, feeling his heart is beating like it's a panic.

"Fear not, friend. You trained like a real beast! Now let's show this class what you're made of!" Alice believed in full confidence that Iruma is gonna do great in this exam.

Iruma feels glad to have a friend like Alice by his side to cheer him up when things look to intense and he gets nervous, and this exam will definitely be a cakewalk with Alice in his team to help him get through this.

"Yeah." Iruma nodded and both boys put on their armband.

"Now, let us enter the court." Alice said, but both boys were going toward different sides confusing them.

However, a horrible realization soon crashes into their minds once they see they are both wearing different armbands with Iruma's armband being yellow and Alice is wearing the red one showing they are on different teams.

Team A is consisted of Sabro, Clara, Jazz, Agares, Elizabetta, and Iruma.

Team B is consisted of Gaap, Kerori, Shaxx, Kaumi, Soi, Allocer, and Alice.

This was something Alice did not like.

"Excuse me! Why are you dividing us this way? Placing my friend, Master Iruma and me on separate teams is simply ludicrous!" Alice complained to Kalego.

"You were split to even out the power balance. No objections, line up." Kalego ordered.

"Yay! I'm with Iruma-Kin!" Clara cheered, glad to be on the same team with Iruma-Kin and mentally promise not to hurt Azz-Azz too much.

"But… This is…" Alice groaned, feeling very upset about this while Iruma tries to calm him down.

"(This just means I'll have to help Master Iruma from the enemy camp.)" Alice thought believed that he could still help Iruma despite being on a different team.

"Fine, I'll handle it." Alice accepted the condition.

"What do you mean?" Iruma asked, hoping it's not something bad.

"Come on, hurry it up, Iruma-Kin!" Clara called out to him.

"I'm coming." Iruma responded before looking back at Alice. "Let's both do our best!"

"Indeed, you can count on it." Alice nodded.

"(But how can I help Master Iruma if I'm on this side?)" Alice thought asked himself as he makes his way to the other side and did some deep thinking.

"Now, commence Execution Cannon ball!" Kalego announced with a loud whistle sound.

"(It's finally time!)" Iruma thought excitedly though nervous at the same time.

Team B is having a private little talk with each other about what to do since they have the ball first.

"Just play it safe, everybody knows that. So, don't throw it at Iruma." Shaxx said as they understand and look at Alice who appears to be thinking about strategy right now.

"We've already seen he's skilled enough to defeat Amodeous, and he's also the archer hero's son along with master of evasion." Gaap pointed out the feats Iruma has been able to pull off.

"A wise man never corps danger." Allocer said.

"What's the matter? Hurry up and throw the ball." Sabro taunted the fools.

"Not a bad idea. How about right at him?" Shaxx glanced at Sabro.

"Remember, he let all of our traps hit him when he arrived at class that day." Shaxx recalled the first day in class, when Sabro caught all the traps with just his own body and pop them off with his muscles.

This is a great plan since Sabro said it himself that he would never dodge, which means he will be the first one to fall from this exam.

"Cease the day." Allocer nodded.

"So, who's gonna throw it?" Shaxx wondered, trying to see which of them can throw hard.

"I'd be delighted to." Kaumi volunteered to throw the ball.

"I'll be the one!" Gaap wanted to throw the ball himself.

But before they could make their decision, the ball suddenly vanished from Shaxx's hand and somehow ended up spinning on top of Jazz's finger.

"Too late, sorry." Jazz grinned, causing Team B to gasp.

"When did he…" Shaxx shocked, wondering how did Jazz even get the ball from this side when he's all the way on the other side.

"And pass." Jazz handed the ball to Sabro who gladly accepts it.

"Which one of you fools is ready to receive my ball?" Sabro asked with a grin that scares the other team.

Sabro look at Team B for a second. In that moment, Kerori quickly forms an ice barrier in front of her for protection just in time when Sabro threw the ball himself with a powerful throw that shattered the ice and the ball bounces on Kerori.

"Crocell, you're out." Kalego announced.

"This ball just hit a girl!" Kaumi screamed as he caught the ball.

"Yeah, but he caught it! So, she's safe!" Shaxx said, thrilled that the owl guy did that.

"And he could also average her too!" Gaap added.

"Here! I love to get to know you better!" Kaumi held the ball right to Elizabetta, on the other side.

"Forget it, he's out…" Shaxx deadpanned, losing all fate in that owl guy who just got himself out.

"You do realize you're giving the enemy the ball, right!" Gaap yelled. How could Kaumi do such a thing that would put their team at a disadvantage like that.

"Caime, you cross onto the enemy's side. You're out!" Kalego yelled.

"Time out for a bit." Shaxx called it as he and the others walk up to Kaumi.

Then they started stomping on Kaumi for pulling a stupid move on his part that he just cost himself and the team more reason that they'll lose, calling him an idiot pervert.

"I don't get it, why did he give you the ball?" Iruma asked Elizabetta.

"Oh, he's just being a pervert who tries to impress girls and fail miserably." Elizabetta explained.

"(I feel like I've seen this back in the human world, but I can't remember what it was.)" Iruma thought to himself.

"Resume the game at once or else you're disqualified!" Kalego warned if they don't hurry this up.

Team B stop beating up Kaumi and got back to their side, and then Kerori saw the ball rolling up to them since Kaumi dropped it during the rough treatment from his team.

"Oh hey, the ball is…" But Kerori took a closer look at the ball, or should she say lots of balls are rolling all over the field.

The cause of these balls rolling around is none other than Clara pulling out lots of different and random balls from her pockets.

"Oh wow, there's so many!" Iruma shocked.

"Goodness, there are balls everywhere." Elizabetta surprised.

"We have to find the one for the exam and quick before enemies does!" Iruma looked around trying to the ball.

"Crap, which one is the real one?" Jazz confused of this strange plan.

"This is another trail to become the Demon King!" Sabro proclaimed.

Everyone tries to find the ball through all of this mess of balls, but then Sabro spoke loudly.

"Found it! My eyes do not deceive me!" Sabro smirked holding up a ball, but not the right one because this ball has horns, red eyes, and a very sharp mouth.

"Sabro, no!" Iruma gasped.

"Yeah, that's definitely not the ball." Jazz tried to warn Sabro, but he did not listen.

And that's when Agares had enough with all this noise.

"…You guys are loud!" Agares yelled and used his Bloodline Ability: My Area to cause the ground to erupt and all the balls to be launch in the air.

"Hey! Where's the ball!" Iruma asked, hoping it hasn't gotten away too far.

"It's over there! Grab it!" Jazz spotted the ball.

Iruma quickly runs toward the ball while dodging the other ones, remembering the training and lessons about keeping his eyes open and watch the ball then grab the ball. Everyone was impressed with Iruma getting the ball.

"Very well done, my star-hearty rival." Sabro impressed, not bother by the monster ball trying to chew his head.

"You're out, Agares. You used your magic on something other than the ball." Kalego announced.

"Only because they're all so noisy." Agares complained lazily and yawned as he leaves the field.

Now that Iruma has the ball, Team B is starting to look scared as they scatter around while Alice is still deep in his thoughts about how to help Master Iruma.

"(Okay, time to see how my throwing is now.)" Iruma thought prepared himself, reeling his arms back.

Iruma looks at Team B and sees Alice all alone not even paying attention to the game which would be a good opportunity to hit him now but decided to save him for later.

"Here goes!" Iruma threw the ball with all his might toward the other side scaring the other team.

"Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap!" Shaxx panicked.

"Please! Have mercy!" Allocer begged while running around.

The ball landed on the ground then bounces all the way to the leg of Allocer much to his horror.

"Allocer! You're out!" Kalego announced.

"Alright! I actually got a hit!" Iruma cheered.

"Not bad, my rival." Sabro nodded.

"Hooray for Iruma-Kin!" Clara jumped around cheering for Iruma.

"Don't worry! I'll avenge you!" Shaxx quickly picked up the ball and threw it back at Iruma, only for Iruma to dodge it and Sabro caught it.

"Now it's my turn." Sabro smirked with his sight on Alice.

"(I don't like it. We're in a heat of battle and he's daydreaming.)" Sabro thought glared at Alice.

"(Since his becoming of my rival's underling, he's gone completely soft as a demon.)" Sabro thought hated a demon like Alice wasting away his demonic life like this.

"Then I shall whip you back into shape!" Sabro shouted as he threw the ball right at Alice.

"Look out!" Iruma called out, even though Alice is on the other team.

But surprisingly, Alice caught the ball with one hand that shocked both Iruma and Sarbo.

"How dare you… Interrupt my focus!" Alice angered and threw the ball that hit Sabro square on the chest.

"Get off the field, Sabnock. You're out." Kalego announced.

Sabro feels pain in his pride that he lost this early in the game and barely took anyone else out after that ice girl, but he didn't want to get in trouble with the teacher and left the field.

"Pass the ball to me outside!" Sabro called out to his team.

"Bye-bye! You did pretty well, gigantic one!" Clara bid farewell to Sabro while Iruma chuckles thinking he's gonna be upset about this for a while.

"Honestly." Alice said upset, not even realizing that the match has already started a while ago and took part in it as well.

"Oh wow, that Asmodeus sure is bad news." Jazz commented.

"Lesson learned: don't throw to that one." Elizabetta stated, fearing that he could take out the entire team all by myself if he wanted to.

However, one demon girl did not hear what Elizabetta just said.

"Okay Sabro, I will avenge you!" Clara threw the ball right at Alice, only her revenge plan to fail when she got hit by the ball instead.

"Valac… You twit." Kalego groaned.

"(Oh well, we just need to try getting them before us.)" Iruma thought determined.

Narrator: The match continues in the matter at a steady pace. One after another, the demons were quickly eliminated from the court.

The demon students of the Misfit class were getting off the field one by one.

Until finally.

The ball rolls up and bumps into Alice's shoes which got his attention.

"This is…" Alice realized the ball and saw that almost everybody is no longer on the field except for himself and Iruma.

"The only ones left are Asmodeus and Iruma!" Jazz shouted.

"(No! Master Iruma and I are the last ones standing!)" Alice thought gasped.

"(Oh boy, just me and him now.)" Iruma thought nervously.

"This should be good since Iruma is so hard to hit." Jazz commented.

"A job well done, my rival." Sabro amazed with Iruma being able to survive this long to the final two.

"Get him! Yay!" Elizabetta cheered for Iruma.

"Go, Iruma-Kin!" Clara cheered while Agares just sleeps.

"Come on, kick his butt!" Shaxx cheered for Alice.

"The victor goes to the true author of history." Allocer believed.

"Now, let us cheer together, what do you say?" Kaumi asked Kerori, but she completely ignored him while nervously watching the match. Soi is being quiet as always.

Kalego looks on at the two, being very close to each other since the start of the school year. This makes him a little curious to see how this will play out, even though he already has an idea on what Asmodeus is gonna try and do which could ruin Iruma's chance to be promoted.

"(Wh… When did this happen? I was so deep in thought; I haven't noticed at all! There's no way I can attack Master Iruma!)" Alice thought feared of hurting his mighty lord, but then gets an idea.

"(Wait, if we're the last two players remaining, the only possible thing to do is just to give him the ball and let him hit me!)" Alice thought believed that would be the best way to help Iruma.

"Iruma, si" But Alice stopped himself when he saw Iruma with such a strong, serious, and determined face, everything that Iruma had been working hard up to this point.

That gave Alice the big realization of a stupid mistake he was about to commit.

"(Shame on me… Have I bother to look at his face even once since this retched match started? "Let him hit me". "Lose deliberately". And have him gain a rank that way…? How foolish can I be?!)" Alice thought cursed himself for not seeing this more.

"(I've been by his side, watching how hard he worked. And yet, I thought only of myself.)" Alice thought started to remember all the training and hard work Iruma put himself through to get here.

"(I never considered what Master Iruma was thinking. Standing there all alone. It must be torture.)" Alice thought feared of how Iruma has been through in this match.

"(You have humiliated yourself, Asmodeus!)" Alice thought angered at himself.

Then came a sudden burst of flame and an intense heatwave coming from Alice as Iruma shield himself a little.

"Full strength deserves reception. I am a demon who values respect and etiquette." Alice threw his coat away while holding the ball tightly.

"I am Asmodeus Alice! And I will give this everything I have!" Alice declared.

Iruma can definitely tell that Alice is really going all-out in this match now after all this time of doing nothing, which means he's gonna really have to give this his all as he remembers what his mom told him about facing off against a greater force and knew what he has to do.

"(I'll catch it!)" Iruma thought determined.

(With Bachiko and Ameri)

"Surprised that you decided to come watch the first-year students' promotion exam. Thought you would be busy with paperwork." Bachiko said as she, Ameri, and her four members of the Student Council are walking down to the inner gym together.

"We thought of the same thing, it's pretty rare." Quichelight said.

"Oh, you must be interested in the top student, Asmodeus! Or maybe the honor student who is also Bachiko's son, Iruma!" Quichelight guessed the president's attention.

"Both of them would be quite the candidates to welcome into the student council, don't you agree?" Zagan asked.

"You can forget about asking Iruma to join. He's never been big on the polite stuff, nor does he pay any minds to it." Bachiko informed, shocking the Student Council members.

"To be honest, it might be possible we could see something interesting." Ameri believed, hoping to see how Iruma is fairing in the exam.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The Execution Cannon Ball exam is intense with almost everyone out of the field with only Iruma and Alice left, and both of them are about to go all-out in this final moment of clash between friends with Bachiko and Ameri coming to witness this with their own eyes!

Chapter Text

Achieving the First Rank Up Ever!

Alice and Iruma stare at each other intensely for a moment though to them, it felt like hours on ends while the rest of the Misfit Class are watching from the side.

"Oh my Devil! It's down to just the two of them!" Gaap realized in shock.

"Yeah, who cares if we're out. Asmodeus, get him!" Lied cheered for his classmate.

"Oh, Iruma! You can do it!" Elizabetta cheered for him as well.

"Go, go, Iruma-Kin! Fight on, fight on, fight on! Fight! Fight! FIGHT!" Clara cheered while sitting on Sabro's shoulder which he really didn't mind since he was a little mad that he couldn't be in the court anymore.

"If only I could return to the court." Sabro complained a little.

"Now, now, you were able to still the ball outside of the court." Elizabetta tried to comfort Sabro.

"Hey, you know what I just realize… This is their first battle since the entrance ceremony." Jazz pointed out.

Alice starts to slowly raise the ball in his hand, getting himself ready to throw it at Master Iruma to help him get rank up by using his fullest strength in this throw.

"(Azz seems completely different than usual, he's so serious. No… That's actual malice in his eyes.)" Iruma thought noticed this the more he looks at Alice, seeing he is about to face a powerful throw.

A second later, Alice's eyes widen feeling the time is now to throw and ready himself as he reels his arm back with the arm and the ball being covered in his fire magic.

"There it is! Get back!" Jazz alerted as the students move away from the court field.

"Looks like the final clash is about to start." Bachiko said as she and the Student Council have arrived just in time to see this.

"(I'm scared… I've gotten through some sticky situations before, and every instinct I've developed is telling me to run.)" Iruma thought remembered how his life was like before coming to the demon world, all the times he ran away back in the human world whenever they were danger that is about to hurt him.

"(But…)" Iruma thought started to move one foot forward, and remember what Opera and Bachiko told him about being scared.

"The more scared you are, the bolder you must be." Past Opera said in Iruma's mind.

"(Be bolder!)" Iruma thought charged towards Alice.

"Transform your fears into excitement."

"What/You have a death wish?!" Gaap gasped and Lied shocked to see Iruma just charging in like that.

""Don't worry about understanding it now, you'll come to it in the exam." Past Bachiko said in Iruma's mind.

"He's really going to face Asmodeus' throw head on!" Ameri shocked and worried for Iruma at the same time.

"Looks like he's really becoming bolder." Bachiko smirked, glad to see he is taking the advice he and Opera gave him this morning.

(Music: Clattanoia, NateWantsToBattle)

Alice threw the flaming ball right at Iruma as he promised himself to give Iruma everything he has into this powerful throw.

Iruma saw the ball coming and hold out his hand to catch the ball which made contact into his palms though the force of power from the throw pushes him back, and there is also the burning pain from the fire that is covering the ball.

"(This is… Azz's true strength! I can't… It's too powerful!)" Iruma thought shocked.

"Then it's a good thing mom helped me with this as well." Iruma whispered to himself.

Iruma starts to turn his body to the right with the fire turning around as well, and he jumps high while still turning that Alice was surprised to see this.

"(Time for the return counter!)" Iruma thought stared down at Alice with the determination to win this game.

Then Iruma removes his right hand from the ball and points his finger right at Alice, the pose he is doing in the air caught Bachiko's sight and gasp a little seeing that Iruma looks like he is holding a bow and about to fire the arrow.

"Iruma!" Bachiko shocked softly.

"Barbatos Arrow Throw!" Iruma threw the ball straight at Alice like he just shot an arrow.

It was so sudden that Alice just stood there in shock which allowed the ball to not only hit him on the right shoulder, but also tore off a little piece of fabric from that shoulder making a hole that shows the skin under it.

Everyone is so shocked to see that Iruma has managed to beat Alice Asmodeus in a battle once again as most are left speechless from this.

(Music End)

"What have I… just witness?" Quichelight asked shock as the other members are.

"It looks like you taught him well." Ameri commented to Bachiko.

"Yeah, all that training I helped him with seem to have paid off great." Bachiko smirked with her arms cross.

"(What the Hell was that move just now! Did Iruma seriously try to shoot the ball like he was shooting an arrow from a bow? I haven't even taught him the basic of archery which was supposed to be after the exam!)" Bachiko thought freaked out on the inside.

"(But still… He really did me proud.)" Bachiko thought smiled proudly for Iruma.

Kalego blew the whistle signaling the end of the exam.

"The winner of this match are team A!" Kalego announced loudly.

"We… We won… I won!" Iruma realized that he really beat Alice on purpose this time, and did it with his own strength too.

Team A ran up to Iruma giving him some congrats and telling him how awesome he was during that last moment before tasting victory.

"Well done, my brave, rival." Sabro patted Iruma on the head.

"You really won like a boss!" Elizabetta nodded, feeling her heart just skipped a beat for a moment there.

"Let's give him! Come on!" Jazz suggested.

The team started to life Iruma with their arms, all except for Agares who is just being lazy and watching as always, and they toss Iruma into the air a little for a moment giving him to being praised for the first time in his life, and he was enjoying this for a while.

But then suddenly Clara is now being the one toss into the air by the team.

"Weee! So high!" Clara laughed, enjoying this.

"Did they switch places?" Jazz surprised as he didn't notice this until now.

"When did thou…!" Sabro shocked about this as well.

"You can try too, Sabro!" Clara said as she switched places with Sabro now being the one lifted only to discover that he was far too heavy to even lift him over their heads.

Meanwhile, during Iruma's little celebration, Alice looked over at his shoulder and felt the spot where the ball hit is throbbing a little even though there is no physical bruise on it, he can still feel it.

"I gave it everything all I had…" Alice looked a little down for a second, and then move his head up looking happy. "I'm soundingly beat, I'm truly no match for you, Iruma sir." Alice smiled.

As Alice was getting up, Lied and the others of Team B came up rushing to give him their compliments.

"That was awesome, Azz!" Lied said as he jumped onto Alice's back much to the pink hair demon boy's surprise.

"That fireball was unbelievable cool!" Kaumi complimented excitedly.

"You were truly amazing!" Gaap smiled.

"Hey, can I call you Azz-Azz?" Lied asked.

"Get off me!" Alice demanded as he does NOT want others being this close to him except for Master Iruma.

While the students were having their own moments, Kalego was thinking about Alice and Iruma and how this exam went.

"Asmodeus has remarkable skill, not any upperclassmen could catch that." Kalego stated, seeing how powerful and skilled Alice is.

Then turn his sight towards Iruma, thinking about how he did in the exam.

"(And yet instead of fleeing in fear, he pressed ever forward. He relexify thrust the incredible strength of the throw to the side, put his own powerful spin to sustain its momentum and threw it back away harder at Asmodeus.)" Kalego replayed that moment in his head, and he was still in shock of such an incredible feat.

"(Iruma managed to use that bizarre evasion skill of his as an effect of attack.)" Kalego thought impressed that Iruma actually did pretty good in the exam.

"So, I take it you were blown away by how great my son was?" Bachiko smirked, walking up to the teacher who just huffs in silence.

"Iruma!" Kalego called out and threw something at Iruma who caught it in both hands.

"If it was obvious that Asmodeus had let you win, I was never going to allow you to raise your rank. Ever!" Kalego stated which Bachiko rolled her eyes.

"But both of you truly gave it your all. Therefore, Iruma, I hereby approve your promotion to Bet!" Kalego declared.

The scene finally shows the item in Iruma's hand that Kalego threw was a rank badge, and this one holds the symbol of the rank 2 badge, Bet.

"Whoa!" Iruma surprised beyond belief that he actually got a promotion in his rank.

"Good job, Iruma-Kin!" Clara amazed.

"I am so proud of you!" Alice smiled, glad to see that Iruma was able to get up a rank just like he said he would.

"Oh boo! You could've at least given him a Gimel rank!" Lied complained a little.

"Indeed, Bet for that performance is just insulting." Alice agreed, believing that Iruma deserves to rank up by two.

"Cheap-poo!" Clara mocked.

"Get over it!" Kalego yelled.

"It's a marathon, not a sprint. There will be more exams, if you lots want to be promoted then you must work harder. That is all!" Kalego turned around and walk away, wanting to leave for the day.

"Sheesh, harsh with the words." Bachiko commented.

"Mom, you're here!" Iruma finally noticed that his adopted demon mom is here as well.

"Hey wait, isn't my rank going up too?" Sabro asked.

"Negative." Kalego answered without hesitation, making Sabro feel extremely hurt on the inside.

"Sorry, big guy. You're gonna to work hard on the next promotion exam to get a rank up." Bachiko said.

With the extreme exam finally over, the Misfit Class started to leave deciding on going home for the day and talking about how exciting that was for them.

"Master Iruma?" Alice noticed that Iruma isn't moving and clenching onto his heart.

"Don't worry, Iruma is just feeling the new experience of succeeding a goal for the first time in his life. It's just sinking in now." Bachiko explained to Alice and Clara.

"Congratulations, Iruma." Ameri said, walking up to Iruma, getting his attention.

"Ameri!" Iruma surprised to see her here.

"I was watching your performance. Remarkably different than yesterday." Ameri complimented that seem to have made Iruma blush a little.

"But that's…" Alice recognized that girl as Ameri Azazel, the Student Council President.

"Why do you keep popping up, Lady Red Hair!" Clara angered, she wanted to go and pounce on Lady Red Hair for getting close to Iruma again only to be held back by Alice with one hand on her shoulder.

"Cool it, Clara. Those two are just gonna have a friendly chat." Bachiko said to Clara.

"(I do wonder what they are talking about.)" Alice thought wondered about the conversation Master Iruma and Ameri are having.

"It just… I've… I've never worked that hard for just my own sake. But now I finally know how it feels to accomplish something just for myself. What an amazing feeling!" Iruma smiled brightly, feeling like something had been lifted from his shoulder.

"(Ah, this must really be a first time for Iruma to feel this way since he had to live a hard life back in the human world.)" Ameri thought felt happy to see Iruma experiencing something more than what he's used to for the first time.

"Yes, that warm and happy feeling you get after overcoming your obstacles, using your strong will in both physical and mental. That is truly…" Ameri paused for a second for affect.

"Ambition!" Ameri smiled greatly like a fire just exploded right behind her.

"Say what…? It is?" Iruma shocked and confused at the same time, and Ameri nods.

"Your passion towards it! Your fighting spirit to see it all through!" Ameri pointed out the things what she knows as ambition and other things.

"(So, ambition feels kinda warm and fuzzy?)? Iruma thought confused, not really sure if these feelings he is getting truly means ambition in a word of a sentence, but it also feelings good at the same time. So, he decided to just go with it.

"Regardless, you step up! So, well done, Iruma!" Alice smiled.

"Thank you!" Iruma smiled back, feeling glad to have Ameri as a friend.

"Well, with that done, let's go home and tell the good news to Sullivan and Opera." Bachiko said.

"And you know what, since you did really great out there with the exams and getting your rank, I'm gonna buy you and the entire class some drinks!" Bachiko decided to reward Iruma, and his class, with something a little special.

"Really?" Iruma surprised.

"Yay! We're getting drinks together!" Clara cheered, completely forgotten her anger towards Alice at the moment.

"Oh man, that's so much better than Kalego buying us drinks!" Lied said.

"Like I would ever buy you drinks." Kalego glared at the boy.

(Sullivan's Mansion)

"We're home!" Bachiko and Iruma announced.

"Welcome home, you two." Opera greeted.

"So, so, how did your promotion go? Tell me, tell me!" Sullivan asked excitedly.

"Cool your jets, he's gonna tell." Bachiko chuckled.

"I ended up facing Azz in the last round, but I safely raise my rank one level." Iruma showed his Bet badge.

"Hoohohooo! I knew you could do it! I'm so proud of you!" Sullivan cheered.

"Safely? With all those wounds on your hands?" Opera was not confused, and they grabbed hold of Iruma's hands to see and feel the bandages.

"Oh yeah, Alice was going all-out with his Fire Magic to support Iruma in his own freaky way." Bachiko explained which Sullivan nods thinking that sounded like him.

"But he started apologizing for a lot and I couldn't get him stop." Iruma mentioned, remembering how many sorry and begging for forgiveness Alice did.

"Still, you were able to focus your full concentration in the exam and did great. You really made all three of us proud!" Bachiko smiled with a thumbs up.

"Thanks, mom!" Iruma smiled chuckling.

"Man, you two should've seen what Iruma did in that final moment in his throw with the ball. He looked like he was firing an arrow from a bow!" Bachiko mentioned while mimicking the pose Iruma did during that exam.

"Oh my, it looks like he has taken quite an interested in archery more than ever." Sullivan commented.

Later, Iruma has now changed into his pajamas on and holding his new rank badge as he looks at it with a proud smile.

"You earned your first rank up, never thought I would see the day when a human would have done that and yet, here you are." Bachiko said.

"Yeah, it feels really great! I can't wait to see what I'm gonna do next, even though I don't know what my next goal is gonna be." Iruma smiled as he goes onto his bed.

"You silly little boy, have you forgotten what I promised you after you pass the exam." Bachiko chuckled, this confuses Iruma until he was about to piece this together.

"Oh right, you promised to teach me how to be an archer!" Iruma remembered with an exciting smile.

"That's right, it's finally gonna be time for you to truly embrace the path of the Barbatos clan and shoot yourself a path that none can get in the way!" Bachiko smirked, feeling excited for this.

"Alright, now get to bed and get ready for school tomorrow. But be prepare for when your archer training starts because I can promise you, it's gonna be intense." Bachiko smiled as she walks out of the room.

"Yes, mom!" Iruma nodded.

"(Oh man, it feels like my life has already gotten better right now!)" Iruma thought looked at his Bet badge one last time before going to sleep.

Iruma Suzuki, age 14, has acquired his promotion badge and moved up to Bet.

"Yeah, my boy, my son is definitely gonna be the one I've been waiting for." Bachiko smiled excitedly and really happy.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma was able to defeat Alice in that final moment of the Execution Cannonball Promotion Exam and was able to rank up to Bet, and next up is learning to be an archer from his adopted demon mom who is also looking forward to teaching him the ways of the Barbatos clan!

Chapter Text

In Familiar Class with Uncle Robin

Bachiko is tapping her foot impatiently because she is waiting right outside of the demon school gate for someone to come, someone who should've gotten here since the opening ceremony of the new school year and NOT later until now.

"(That idiot better get here soon or else I'm gonna shoot when arrow to drag him here.)" Bachiko thought growled.

Then she spotted someone walking up to the school as she immediately recognized the guy.

"Hello Big Sis, it's really nice of you to see me do my first day of teaching!" The guy said, and instantly got hit in the face by Bachiko with a flying kick, both feet on his face and send him flying about six feet.

"You demonic idiot! What kind of demon waste days AFTER the opening ceremony of the new school year to show up late and suddenly comes in, were you doing something stupid like reading those same teaching books over and over again! You're setting a bad example of the Barbatos clan!" Bachiko scolded the demon.

"I know, I am really sorry about that. I just got really excited to become a teacher that I got into my preparation too much." The demon chuckled cheerfully, not minding the pain on his face.

"Damn it, you always get like this, Robin Balse." Bachiko sighed.

"Hey, no need to worry now. I'm here and I'm ready to help these kids get their demon on!" Robin promised.

Robin Balse is a young-looking demon, and he has bright green hair and yellow eyes, short-statured compared to the standard adult demon. He dresses in clothing that is various shades of green.

"Whatever, just get in already because you're first place is about to start." Bachiko informed as she turns around.

"Wait, Big Sis, there is something I wanna ask you first!" Robin said.

"Make it quick." Bachiko said, feeling a bit annoy at how her cousin can be so positive all the way and be sidetracked a little.

"Well, I got word from the school that you have a son and when I told the Barbatos President about it, he was absolutely shocked to hear that you've become a mom as the other family members are like "What?!" And "Since when did Bachiko hook up with a guy?!" then there was the crazy thing about Sullivan's daughter for a grandson." Robin mentioned.

"(I figured the clan would react about Iruma once words reach them, no doubt the president will want to hear all about this from me in person soon.)" Bachiko thought sighed in annoyance to handle this.

"So, tell me! What's the little guy like, is he a fun guy and does he like to have fun? I bet he's a skilled archery just like you!" Robin asked excitedly, wanting to know about his nephew.

"I haven't taught him archery yet until he passed his first ranking exam, which he did on his first try." Bachiko bragged about that a little.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Robin complimented.

"Iruma has been doing well in school so far, though things tend to happen accidentally making himself the center of attention when he ends up doing unexpected things." Bachiko explained a little.

"Oh, so he must be popular." Robin guessed.

"Not willingly, but he is someone very special once you get use to the guy and definitely shows promising skills that would make the Barbatos clan proud." Bachiko smirked.

"Oh devil, I'm already getting super excited to meet him!" Robin smiled.

"Well, there was that one thing he did to a teacher and let me tell you. It was really hilarious that I thought I wasn't gonna die of laughter!" Bachiko started laughing at the memory of Iruma accidentally turning Kalego into his own Familiar.

"Huh, what? What was the funny thing he did on a teacher, and who was this teacher?" Robin asked curiously, but Bachiko didn't answer as she kept laughing a little more and figured Robin should figure this out on his own.

"(I hope you're ready, Iruma, because Robin is gonna be onto you like glue.)" Bachiko thought chuckled.

(With Iruma and Ameri)

Iruma and Ameri are having their usual private reading time with the former doing the reading on another chapter of First Love Memories.

"Today is… Today is the day I finally tell him how I really, truly feel." Iruma said, doing his female voice of Rin.

The scene shows of the manga panel of Rin hiding behind a corner while seeing Kakeru coming closer with each step.

Rin: Kakeru.

Kakeru is hanging out with another male student, most likely a friend in the same class.

Rin: Oh my gosh, I'm so scared. What should I do? But no matter how scared I am, I can't go back now. "Clench. Shake, shake." I have to go for it.

Iruma stop reading for a bit to think about the moment he went through the same kind of nervous feeling within himself back at this ranking exam.

"(Facing your fears. That was the first time I've done something like that.)" Iruma thought remembered the exam, how he was able to beat Azz and got his rank to go up by one.

"(Everyone else was happy too. So, of course, that made me really happy.)" Iruma thought smiled, glad that he was able to do something for himself and not for being told what to do.

"And then what happened?" Ameri asked, snapping Iruma out from his thoughts.

"Well, what happened after that?" Ameri asked, stating that she really wants to know.

"After that? Oh well, I…" Iruma paused on the question. "(That's a good question. What does happen next?)" He thought asked himself.

"Rin decided to tell Kakeru how she felt, and she was waiting for him in the hallway. What happens next? I need to know." Ameri begged to continue with the story.

"Oh yeah, right!" Iruma realized that's what she meant and look at the manga.

"What in the world should I do? Kakeru is getting closer and looks like he's with a whole bunch of his friends. My heart's pounding. Oh, what should I do? Please, someone tell. I have no idea what to do." Iruma read on until the school demon bell rang loudly as always.

"I'm bursting with curiosity, but classes are about to begin. I shall be in touch soon." Ameri said before walking out of the room.

"S-Sure, see you later." Iruma nodded, watching Ameri leave now being alone in his thoughts.

"(What has my dream become? What are my ambitions? Should I just try to raise my rank again?)" Iruma thought wondered what his next goal should be.

Iruma isn't really sure what to do at this point though maybe something could help give him an idea, maybe like learning all the archery skills from his mom when her lesson starts.

(Misfit Classroom)

Robin walks into the Misfit Class with a cheerful and confident smile on his face as he faces the students.

"Nice to meet you, everyone. I will be your familiars class teacher. And my name is Balse. Thrilled to meet ya!" Robin introduced himself.

"(This new teacher seems really motivated and excited to be here.)" Iruma thought surprised to meet a cheerful demon teacher.

"Yes, I got so lost in my preparations that I missed the entrance ceremony." Robin remembered how shock he was when he finally noticed that day had already passed and he's super late.

"My first day teaching here ended up being so delayed. My attention span can be fairly scattered at times, but I'll make sure classes are spot on." Robin explained, hoping to do his best as a teacher.

"On that note, let's all do our best together. Hip hip hooray!" Robin cheered.

"Oh yeah, you're the" Clara was gonna cheer him on, but Robin cuts in for a bit.

"Now, now, listen carefully. If you want to say that line properly, what you'd say is sharp. Focus Teacher." Robin lectured her in a friendly way.

"I see. Sharp, sharp. Got it." Clara nodded.

"(Looks like he's already getting along with Clara.)" Iruma thought amazed that there would be someone cheerful for Clara too.

"Now let's get started. Okay, today's lesson is interacting with your familiars." Robin revealed what the lesson is going to be.

"(Uh oh, this could be a bit tricky.)" Iruma thought worried that it's going to involve summoning Kalego again.

(Outside)

Robin's Familiar Class is going to be held outside for the demons and their familiars to do the interacting with each other and for Robin to see how well they are with each other too.

"Pay attention. You're familiar will be your partner. You'll be bonded forever." Robin stated on the basis of having a familiar.

"Today, I've made arrangements for you all to get some special bonding time with them." Robin explained why they're outside.

"Let's start with Asmodeus Alice. Is that right?" Robin hoped he got that name right.

"Yes, sir." Alice said before stepping forward.

"Gorgon Snake. Show yourself!" Alice summoned his Familiar as the snake monster with wings comes forth and around its master.

"A real Gorgon Snake. Remarkable!" Robin was amazed to see a Gorgon Snake this close, but then Sabro comes in with a grin.

"You'd best brace yourself for mine is more amazing." Sabro bragged, ready to show this fire bastard what a truly amazing Familiar looks like.

"Come forth, Kelbie!" Sabro summoned his Familiar showing off its mighty presence.

"Whoa, a Kelbie!" Robin was shocked to see another student having such a great creature by his side.

"Both these creatures are excellent Familiars. We're off to an astounding start!" Robin felt like this class could give him full of surprises.

"(I wonder if I'll be able to find this Iruma boy big sis told me about?)" Robin thought asked himself.

Both Alice and Sabro are staring intensely at each other and so are their Familiars, feeling the sense of rivalry about to spark between them again.

"Unlike your pathetic, slithering Familiar, Kelbie actually has legs to walk on and behold its massive name." Sabro stated that his Familiar is better while petting his Kelbie's mane.

"And you behold my regal Gorgon Snake. Look at how it gazes at me with pure admiration." Alice believed his Familiar is the best without a doubt.

The other students of the Misfit Class are seeing that Alice and Sabro are having their own contest of the Familiars.

"Here they go again like clockwork." Lied chuckled.

"Let's just relax and take it in until it's our turn." Gaap suggested.

"(I really hope those two don't do anything that could get us all in trouble.)" Iruma thought felt a bit worry.

"Next up we have… Where's Clara Valac?" Robin asked.

"Here!" Clara showed herself feeling excited.

"Summoning! Falfal!" Clara summoned her Familiar which is a green creature thing.

"Falfal! Wonderful. What a rare find! One whose words and actions are a complete mystery. I wonder how she managed to tame it?" Robin was shocked as he was not expecting to see that.

Clara petted her Falfal's head and handed it the ball, then Falfal throws the ball for Clara to go fetch it herself.

"What?! It tamed her!" Robin was shocked even more, and then he laughs on seeing how fond they are of each other.

"There are so many fascinating students here!" Robin laughed happily.

Falfal stop ticking Clara's belly because its mind just thought of something which Clara notice this.

"What's the matter, Falfal?" Clara asked.

Clara stares into Falfal's face for a few seconds and then spoke loudly.

"Roger that. Let's go!" Clara smiled and ran off toward the school for some reason.

"Hey, wait up! Oh, what was your name again?" Robin looked over at the list.

(With Bachiko)

Bachiko is on her patrol as always and was about to go meet up with one of the Student Council members in another area, but suddenly she spins fast when Clara ran past her very close.

"What in literal Hell was that all about?" Bachiko asked while getting herself straight from the dizzy.

"This must be from Robin; he better not screw on his first day of teaching." Bachiko huffed.

(Cafeteria)

Camu Camu is looking over his little shop as he gets ready for when lunchtime starts, but then he heard something and look over to see Clara literally coming at him on all four like a demon dog.

"Hey there, Camu Camu!" Clara greeted.

"Stop!" Camu Camu got his bamboo spear and thrust that Clara latches onto he lifts it up that she slides down.

"One red bean bun, and would you make it snappy, please? Thanks!" Clara requested a food item from him.

"Which do you want? Chunky or smooth? Choose one, quickly." Camu Camu asked knowing that she has to be in the middle of class right now.

"Let me see now." Clara said.

(With Falfal)

Falfal is sitting on the grass and looking up at the sky to enjoy the peaceful moment.

"Heya!" Clara called out, getting Falfal's attention.

"I brought a red bean bun for ya! The chunky kind, just like you wanted." Clara showed the chunky red bean bun, and out of the wrapper for Falfal to take a big bite out of it.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Clara asked.

"Oh, and they can even communicate without words. I certainly didn't expect this!" Robin was even more surprised to see how deep their bond is now.

Falfal then offers some of his red bean bun to Clara seeing if she wants any.

"Huh? Well, if you're sure. I humbly accept." Clara bowed and bite on the bean bun.

"Right. Next up, we have Iruma Barbatos. Iruma—Wait, you're Iruma!" Robin gasped upon finally realizing that this Iruma kid is the same Iruma who is the son of his cousin Bachiko.

"Huh, yes, I'm Iruma." Iruma said, feeling a little weird that the new teacher is suddenly being close to him.

"No way, I can't believe I didn't see it sooner that you would be Big Sis Bachiko's son and now I'm finally meeting him for the first time in person!" Robin smiled with stars in his eyes.

"Hold on, big sister Bachiko. You're my mom's brother?" Iruma gasped in realization.

"No, not a brother, we're actually cousins though I do look up to her as a big sister that it was Bachiko who taught me to sharpen my archery skills." Robin mentioned.

"Wow, I never met a relative of my mom before. It's weird though because you two don't seem to resemble each other." Iruma pointed out, seeing that Bachiko and Robin look completely different from each other.

"Maybe not, but we are family as your mom is from the main branch of the Barbatos family while I'm from the other branch of the family." Robin explained.

"Wow, I have so many fun things I wanna do with you now that I'm meeting my nephew the minute I heard about." Robin lifted Iruma in the air and spins around.

"Okay, now this is getting embarrassing! Please put me down!" Iruma begged with his face turning a little red.

"Oh yes, we still have class and as such, I will not be playing favorites for you just because we're family." Robin said as he put Iruma down.

"Now Iruma, would you please bring out your Familiar?" Robin asked.

"Oh, so my mom hasn't told you what happened at the Familiar Summoning Ritual?" Iruma asked, seeing that Robin doesn't know about that incident.

"Oh, did something happen at the Familiar Summoning Ritual?" Robin asked curiously.

"So, you haven't heard yet." Jazz said, leaning a little close to the new teacher.

"You see, well, how do I put this…?" Lied tried to think of a way to tell Robin about Kalego becoming Iruma's Familiar.

"Wait a minute, I think Bachiko mentioned something about you doing something to a teacher? Does that have anything to do with the Familiar Summoning Ritual? Please tell me I'm right!" Robin asked, saying one of the three taboo words.

"Uh… Yes, it is. I ended up someone a teacher to be my Familiar." Iruma revealed exclaiming.

"No way! You actually did something so crazy that you summoned another demon to be your Familiar! That's the craziest and coolest thing I ever heard! Now I must see this Familiar of yours, go on, bring it forth!" Robin requested excitedly.

"I, uh… okay." Iruma groaned in worry that he has to Familiar Kalego now.

If you recall, Iruma is a total pushover.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma has finally got to his Uncle Robin for the first time in his class on his first day on the job and it looks like he's already taken a liking to him, but now comes the difficult part with summoning his Familiar AKA Professor Kalego and it's not going to go well for him.

Chapter Text

Full Day with Teacher Familiar for Grades

While the Misfit Class are learning more about interacting with their Familiars from the new teacher Robin, a certain very serious and strict teacher of that class is doing some paperwork at his desk when one of the fellow teachers came up to him.

"Uh, pardon me, Professor Kalego. We've received another complaint from a student saying that you're being just a bit too harsh on them." Marbas March reported.

Marbas is a plain-looking demon with chin-length straight black hair, purple eyes, and two black horns. He is typically seen wearing the Babyls standard teacher's uniform.

Kalego was silent for a second until he responded.

"What?" Kalego glared at Marbas, making him flinch in fear.

"(He's so scary!)" Marbas thought exclaimed, wondering how he'll survive Kalego if he ends up making him even madder than now.

"Well, sir, maybe you could try being nicer, huh?" Marbas suggested, even though it's a really long shot.

"Huh. I'm only weeding out the refuse. No matter what reason arises, an educator must maintain dignity when teaching." Kalgeo stated strongly for his role as an educator of Babyls, and that means giving the students a hard time as Hell.

But suddenly, as if on cue, Kalego glows brightly blue, almost blinding Marbas and he vanished from the chair he was sitting on much to the other educator's confusion as he wonders what just happened.

(With the Misfit Class)

Kalego has appeared before Iruma and the Misfit Class in his horrible-cute little fluffy form that he had hoped it would never, ever, happen again, only it did happen again.

"Whoa!" Robin gasped in amazement to see this with his very own eyes.

"It's Professor Familiar." Jazz pointed out the obvious with a grin.

"Yep, Familiar Teach." Lied greeted teasing.

"So fluffy!" Elizabetta was amazed by the presence of Professor Kalego becoming so fluffy and cute right before her eyes once again.

Kalego takes a good look at himself to see the tiny claws and stumbly sharp legs, and the fluffy body to know instantly that it was Iruma who summoned him again and glares at that said student who is repeatedly apologizing to him.

"…Die." Kalego said one word of how much he hates that boy to which Iruma apologizes again.

"Oh, adorable!" Robin admired the cuteness while grabbing onto the fluffy teacher Familiar.

"No, no, stop it! It's repellent." Kalego kept himself together from the humiliating tickles this stupid teacher is trying to give him.

"Bastard! You dare try and humiliate Naberius Kalego, huh?" Kalego asked in rage with a deadly glare.

"Whoa! Naberius Kalego, I heard of that demon and you're Iruma's teacher Familiar. That's so amazing!" Robin was awestruck, failing to see the anger Kalego is giving off.

"Enough, damn it! Die!" Kalego had enough of this moron and want to do away with him right now.

"Professor!" Iruma tried to stop him.

But only through a slight touch of Kalego's tiny claw on Iruma's golden ring, a red lightning bolt struck down on the teacher Familiar giving him a painful punishment with a shock.

If a Familiar defies its master, it is swiftly punished.

"…Hurry up! Undo the summoning." Kalego demanded, not wanting to be punished like that again anytime soon.

"Hey, now! You can't stop just like that." Robin said, confusing the two.

"But why not, Uncle Robin?" Iruma asked.

"Oh! You just called me Uncle Robin! That felt so good hearing you say those words; it's like I'm about to die with happiness!" Robin squealed.

"But I will not for I have a duty as a teacher to uphold." Robin quickly calmed himself down.

"The Babyls teachers' guidelines: remain dignified and no special expectations, no matter what reason comes up. It's my sworn responsibility to always be dignified when I'm teaching students." Robin clarified on what being a teacher is while holding the guideline book.

"(Oh no, that book…)" Kalego thought gulped.

If you hadn't guessed, the one who wrote the Babyls' teachers guideline was, of course, Kalego the Famil—Uh, Kalego himself.

"But Uncle Robin, you don't understand. This is Professor Kalego and he's really scary when he gets mad, even when he looks like this." Iruma tried to warn him.

"Nope, sorry. That is final, the lesson must continue on." Robin said, not budging an inch from this.

"Oh my, even when Professor Robin knows that it's Professor Kalego, he's not going to let Iruma undo the summoning." Elizabetta was surprised by this.

"It looks like it's going to be a day for Professor Kalego." Kamui said, standing very close to Elizabetta again.

"Oh man, I can already see the funny things." Lied chuckled.

"Me too, let see how this will play out." Gaap agreed to the funny thing as well.

While Kalego is groaning in frustration that he is now struck in class in the stupid fluffy form with the Misfit Class, there are others who are passing by seeing the Familiar teacher.

"Isn't that Professor Familiar?" Haruno asked, her friends and one of the teachers, Momonoki are also seeing this.

"That's Kalego? How does he turn into something so cute?" Momonoki asked in surprise and blushing at the same time.

"I guess that Iruma kid must've summoned him again." Konatsu guessed.

"Iruma's here? Where? Show me!" Eiko tried to spot Iruma in that crowd of students as she really wants to see Iruma again.

Then a wind picked up on Dosanko's skirt slightly making it go up.

"Oh my, shame on you, you naughty wind!" Dosanko giggled and winked.

Then we come back to Kalego and Iruma who are having an awkward and silent moment with one being extremely angry and the other being extremely terrified of the demon who was forced to become his Familiar until Kalego finally spoke.

"I high object to being a Familiar. You must know this." Kalego said.

"Right?" Iruma knew that already, he's just worried about what Kalego would do to him later on.

"However, it goes against my policy to disturb an institute of learning for purely personal reasons. Therefore…" Kalego flew up closer to his face. "…in every lesson, henceforth only get the highest score possible. You will continue to achieve all high scores and obtain far more credits and supplemental classes Don't you dare mess up in front of that silly blathering sprite. Got it." He demanded.

"Got it…" Iruma responded exclaiming.

Kalego sigh already feeling the headache from this.

"First, I'll drill the basics into your head." Kalego said.

"Right." Iruma was ready to listen to his Familiar teacher.

"The blood pact runs deep. A summon from the master is absolute. Its shape, size, and form is also influenced by its master." Kalego explained this about Familiars.

"The Familiars influenced by its master. Yeah, I see the resemblance." Iruma understood this new information. Looking back on some of the Familiars and his classmates.

"Which means I'm in this ridiculous, humiliating incarnation entirely because of you!" Kalego pointed out in anger.

"Also, the only time a Familiar must truly obey its master is when it is summoned. Remember that." Kalego added with a very dark expression.

"Hey, you guys, let's play with this thing." Robin said while holding a disk much to the confusion of Iruma and Kalego, and everyone in the class.

"It's perfect to help build trust with your Familiar." Robin believed.

"Ah, yeah! I wanna play!" Clara felt excited for the disk tossing game along with Falfal.

Falfal threw the disk for Clara to fetch with her mouth like a cute demon dog and brought it back to her Familiar.

"Excellent job there!" Robin smiled, seeing how much fun Valac and her Familiar are having.

"Okay, you guys are up next." Robin turned his sights on Iruma and Kalego.

"I'm not expected to fetch." Kalego hated the idea that this would be an exercise of building trust between Familiars and Masters.

"I couldn't ask you to do that." Iruma said, not wanting to force these kinds of things onto Kalego if he doesn't want to.

"I see, so you won't do it. That's too bad, I'll just have to bring down your score." Robin said.

This causes Iruma and Kalego to realize that they're being scored by Robin on how well they "bound" as Familiar and Master, and this was something Kalego himself could not allow to happen on his watch.

"Game on." Kalego decided to do the fetching.

"Really? Are you sure?" Iruma asked.

Then a moment later, Iruma is now standing with the disk in his hands as they are now going to participate in this.

"Throw it already." Kalgeo said, wanting to get this over with.

"Okay." Iruma tossed the disk though it only went as far as five feet.

But that didn't matter to Kalego as he has to get that disk and bring it back to Iruma to keep his scores from getting low, so he forces himself to walk over to the disk much to the other students' surprise.

"Whoa, Professor's walking. Wasn't sure he could. Wow." Lied was surprised, guess Professor Familiar can walk on those stumpy little legs.

"Hey, Iruma! Listen up!" Jazz called out to Iruma, getting his attention.

"Familiar teacher's doing a really good job. You should compliment him." Jazz suggested.

"That won't go like you think it will." Iruma turned that idea down immediately, knowing how Kalego is already in a bad mood and forcing himself to swallow his pride in order to pass this class.

Kalego reached the disk as he keeps on groaning in anger and then picks it up with his little claws to take it back to Iruma.

"Oh, he's got it. Amazing!" Kamui was amazed.

"Oh, what a loyal little Familiar." Elizabetta complimented, seeing how loyal Kalego seems to be right now.

"He looks super pissed." Lied noticed the "Piss off" expression on Kalego's cute little face.

"Iruma is gonna get it later, for sure." Jazz figured that Kalego is going to punish Iruma once this class is over and Iruma undo the summoning, probably like giving him tons of homework or worse.

Kalego is groaning still as he can hear those damn students saying such embarrassing things about him as a Familiar, but he has to keep his composure in order to get through this class as he brought the disk back to Iruma.

"Thank you very much." Iruma took the disk back.

"Ah! Wonderful job. Just wonderful!" Robin was impressed as he claps his hands.

"Now, high-five each other on your shared success." Robin instructed.

"Huh, okay. High-five." Iruma held up his hands to Kalego.

"High-five." Kalego did the need, feeling like he just scared himself for life.

"Fantastic! Now, let's continue to build your mutual trust with a fun exercise." Robin said as this is only the beginning.

"Next, dance with your Familiar."

Iruma and Kalego are doing some dance moves with the secret human boy smiling while the fluffy grumpy teacher is just enduring this torture.

"Chase each other."

Iruma is running around chasing Kalego while he is flying then they change positions with Kalego chasing Iruma, he pretends that is him chasing down Iruma to kill him.

"A three-legged race."

This one was a struggle as Iruma had to do all the running while Kalego is hanging on to dear life being tied up to the boy's leg.

"I see you're trusting each other more by the second. Delightful!" Robin believed, oblivious of Kalego's anger growing even more.

"That dingus newbie! Getting closer, my ass! I'm doomed!" Kagome grumbled, fearing things are only going to get worse from here.

"Uh, excuse me, Professor." Iruma said, making him glare at the boy.

"It wasn't an emergency, but I still had to summon you and put you through so much. I'm sorry, Professor." Iruma apologized and bow to him.

"I'll admit, it was pretty funny seeing you do all of that silly stuff my cousin Robin made for trust bonding with Familiar's and crap, but it was also nice seeing you helping out my boy." Bachiko smirked, appearing behind Kalego.

"You!" Kalego gasped in horror. This demon woman is the last person he wanted to see him like this.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Iruma was surprised to see her here.

"I was just passing by after doing my patrol around the area then saw you guys outside doing some stuff with your Familiar, so I decided to have a closer look on how it's going." Bachiko answered.

"Now I'm starting to see that having Robin working here as a teacher won't be such a bad thing after all." Bachiko chuckled as she looks down at Kalego.

"Silence, you. You're lucky I can't do anything right now since class are in session." Kalego growled.

"Actually, now that I think about it. You've been carrying that summoning sticker for a while, before that exam with Cutthroat Valley, haven't you?" Bachiko asked her foster son about it.

"Yeah, since Clara showed me one and may have got some for me with Azz paying." Iruma answered.

"In that case, when you were about to be attacked by the guardian of Cutthroat Valley, why didn't you think to summon me then?" Kalego asked.

"(Oh, from back then.)" Iruma thought remembered that time.

"Do I appear weak to you?" Kalego asked.

"Oh no, no, it's nothing like that. I just didn't want to burden you. And besides, I thought… Well…" Iruma paused for a bit.

"Well, what?" Kalgeo asked.

"I thought if I had summoned you, either you or the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley might have ended up hurt." Iruma explained his reason.

"I see, you were concern for both of them at the time and wanted to hopefully end things peacefully. Guess your instinct was right at the time." Bachiko sighed, seeing how kindhearted her boy is.

Kalego was surprised to hear this boy was deeply concerned about both him and the guardian getting hurt in a fight, very unexpected of a demon to have that kind of kindness yet that makes him wonder just what kind of demon this boy is.

Then screams can be heard from the other Misfit students as they turn to what appears to be a rumble about to happen between Alice and Sabro with their Familiars standing by their masters' side ready for battle.

"This is a waste of time. Let us settle the matter of the proper way by force." Sabro demanded with a smirk, believing that he and his Kelbie are the strongest duo.

"If you insist, I'll reduce that horse to a pile of soft green ash." Alice grinned with his Gorgon Snake glaring at their foes.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you think you're doing? You can't use your Familiars to fight." Robin reminded them this is supposed to be a bonding exercise with the Familiars, not a brawl.

"Oh, shut up." Alice and Sabro shouted at their teacher.

But before the fight could even happen, four pink arrows for each student and Familiar appeared from above stabbing the ground and surrounding them with a barrier that restrained the boys and their Familiars' movements.

"And here I was hoping for a peaceful day on duty." Bachiko held her magic bow.

"Whoa, mom stopped them before the fight could even begun!" Iruma was surprised.

"Impressive on responding to the danger." Kalego commented as he flew to the two students.

"Now, silence!" Kalego said, this causes even the two strong Familiars to tremble in fear.

Soon, both students were forced on their knees with their Familiars behind them.

"Hey Robin, what do you think of between Familiars and masters?" Bachiko asked.

"Huh, well, the Familiars are the servants—Wrong!" Kalego yelled at his face.

"It's so no one is devoured." Kalego said. This surprises both Robin and Iruma.

"But if a Familiar disobeys, they're punished." Robin pointed that out.

"This isn't about the Masters. I'm talking about everyone around them." Kalego stated.

"Around them?" Robin was puzzled as Kalego explains more.

"Familiars are neither pets nor partners. They are magical beasts who can instantly turn violent if their masters falter. Fear your familliars, your brats! That is what true trust is." Kalego explained.

"It appears that only one of you inexplicably had the right idea about this." Kalego looked over to Iruma.

"If you understand, then start treating your Familiars with respect, right now!" Kalego yelled.

"Sir! Yes, sir!" Iruma screamed.

And thus, interaction with the Familiars was modified and both entities became closer.

"As soon as we get back to Babyls, you're starting over your teacher training." Kalego said to Robin who is fanning him while Iruma is brushing his fur.

"Oh man, you're so strict." Robin exclaimed a little, but happy to see that class went well.

And the rift between senior and junior grew wider.

"Looks like your first day wasn't a total waste, just try to do better next time, and stop students from causing trouble yourself next time!" Bachiko scolded her cousin.

"It was still nice to meet my nephew and being called uncle!" Robin smiled, and Iruma was happy to have met him.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The Familiar Class was certainly a laugh with Kalego having been forced to be Iruma's Familiar for the day even though it was utter humiliating to him, but it turned out good in the end when Kalego revealed what trust between Familiars and Masters is all about.

Chapter Text

Battler Wild Way for the First Years

"Alright, Iruma. Keep hold of that for a little bit longer." Bachiko instructed Iruma who is holding a bow and pulling back on the arrow.

"Got." Iruma nodded, concentrating his sight on the target that's about twenty feet away from him.

"And… fire!" Bachiko said.

Iruma let's go of the arrow sending it flying from the bow and soaring through the air hitting the target, the spot was close to the target just above it by a few inches though that just made Iruma sad a little.

"I'm getting the arrow close to the target, but not at the center. This is really hard." Iruma found out that archery is really difficult than he thought.

"No one ever said that life would be easy because if it were then life would be pointless if you don't go through the hardship of hard work to make you grow, though it didn't do you much good when you lived in the human world." Bachiko explained.

"You may have been able to survive, but you never had any real goals for yourself nor did anything to make yourself enjoying life in the moment." Bachiko said.

"That's right, it's hard to live in the moment when I had to struggle so much." Iruma agreed with her.

"But ever since I've ranked up to Bet, I started to feel a little more spirit in myself and that I can proudly say I did this for me." Iruma smiled.

"Good to hear, remember those feelings to help you move forward." Bachiko smirked.

"Should we keep going?" Iruma asked, seeing as they still have a couple more arrows left.

"Nah, we'll end up for today. You need to get ready for school tomorrow, hit the showers and enjoy the rest of the evening." Bachiko ordered.

"You got it." Iruma nodded and walked back to the house.

"Oh, and Iruma." Bachiko said, getting her son's attention for a moment.

"Be sure to be ready for tomorrow, you'll never know what some demonic things you might experience next that could make you understand the school even more." Bachiko advised.

"Oh, okay. Thanks, mom." Iruma thanked her. Not sure why she's telling him to be careful at school since he already knows to be careful with the demons, including the part that he has to keep him being human a secret.

(The Next Day)

At one tower of Babyls waiting inside, there lots and lots of upperclassman demons counting down to the time when they can go out and let loose on the school because today is a special day for the upper year students to finally show something the first years will never forget.

And they also look very hungry like they are out for blood in a carnage.

(Cafeteria)

"This is what Bets gets to eat. It's so fancier! I'm gonna dig in!" Iruma smiled excitedly and starts eating his lunch. "Oh, it's so good!"

"We're proud of you, Iruma-kins." Clara smiled while Alice is also happy for his Master.

"Though it's kind of weird. Where is everybody?" Iruma noticed that he and his friends are literally the only ones in the cafeteria, not a single demon in sight, and even Camu Camu is here with his shop.

"I haven't been here that long, but I've never seen the first-year cafeteria this empty?" Iruma wondered what's going on here.

"Well, you see…" Alice was about to tell him why the cafeteria is empty today, but then the four demon girls suddenly showed up and they are at awe upon seeing Alice here.

"It's actually Asmodeus!" Haruno squealed with excitement.

"He's such a hottie!" Azuki smiled.

"Please! Can I shake your hand?" Konatsu requested.

"There's finally a guy worthy enough to be in my league." Dosanko winked with a giggle, but that just made Alice feel a little creepy.

"Iruma, sir!" Alice gasped in horror to see the girls piling on Iruma like he's nothing.

"Such insolence! Out!" Alice demanded in anger.

This only confuses the girls until Iruma pushes himself up a little which finally got the girls to notice his presence.

"Are you hurt at all, Master?" Alice asked in concern.

"No, I'm fine." Iruma answered weakly.

"Iruma?" Haruno was surprised.

"You're here too?" Azuki didn't think she would see Iruma in the same room as Alice.

"Aren't you the one who… Who's the evil demon who has teachers at his beck and call, control the Guardian of the valley, and attack his classmate?!" Konatsu asked from all the rumors and stories that involve Iruma from the moment he got here.

"That story's gotten a bit embellished." Iruma commented, thinking they sound too dark for him.

"Don't get too close! He'll attack you!" Konatsu backed away from Iruma with Dosanko backing away as well.

"Wait a sec…" Iruma tried to reason with that there's no need to be scared of him.

"What? But how could he… Your rank Aleph, isn't it?" Haruno mentioned, unaware that Iruma has ranked up which got the other girls to think that Iruma isn't a total threat to them, and they can go for Alice.

"Oh, in that case, it's whatever." Konatsu shoved Iruma away.

"Oh, Asmodeus! Your Dalet badge is Devi-awesome!" Azuki complimented him on the badge.

"What's the Misfit Class like? I bet you're the coolest one there." Haruno believed.

"I want to get on the scale of love with me because times are wasted." Dosanko tried to flirt with Alice to get him to fall in love with her.

"You're all wrong! Iruma-kins just became a Bet the other day." Clara informed them, angry that they just dislike Iruma like that because they still think he's Aleph.

This got the four demon girl friends' attention in surprise, and they look closer at Iruma's badge to see that it's the badge for the Bet rank, that means he must've climbed up the rank without knowing.

"You're right. So sorry, we jumped the gun." Haruno apologized to Iruma.

"We didn't know you were a Bet. That is very impressive." Konatsu was impressed by Iruma becoming a Bet this soon.

"You should come talk to us." Azuki said while pushing Iruma to have a little chat with him as the other girls do.

"Uh, okay?" Iruma wasn't sure about going with these girls since he just wants to hang out in the cafeteria with Alice and Clara.

"Now that I've gotten a better look at you, you're kind of cute." Haruno complimented him.

Clara got angry seeing those girls trying to get very close with Iruma and she refuses to let them take him away, but just when she was about to scold them, a loud alarming-like sound went off getting the students' attention.

"Huh? What's that sound?" Iruma asked with Clara being confused as well.

"Crap! Let's go." Konatsu ran off.

"Yeah, bye bye now." Haruno said.

"See you later." Azuki bid farewell.

"See you soon." Dosanko giggled.

"Uh, sure?" Iruma was confused by their reaction.

"I'll let the door hit ya!" Clara waved goodbye, glad those girls decided to leave Iruna alone.

"So, those girls were pretty intense, wouldn't you say?" Iruma commented.

"Honestly, Master. How dare they treat you like that? Especially when you're the son of Barbatos Bachiko. Though I guess it can't be helped that they assumed you were still an Aleph." Alice said since this wasn't announced to the whole school or anything.

"What's wrong?" Alice noticed that Iruma is looking at him.

"Nothing." Iruma said.

"(I guess ranks matter more to demons than I thought.)" Iruma thought realized this and may have to think about his ranks a little more later.

"But why did they run out of here so quickly?" Iruma asked, still wondering about that and the alarming sound.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Alice remembered that he still needs to tell Iruma about it.

"Feast your eyes." Alice showed him and Clara a poster that he's been carrying for a while now.

"What is it?" Iruma looked at the poster curiously.

"I brought you to the cafeteria because I want to discuss it with you." Alive revealed why they are here.

"Battlers?" Iruma read one word that seems important on the poster.

"Indeed, they're a group that basically concentrates on the sole purpose of raising their ranks higher. Students who possess similar talents, interests, and ideals get together and network. For example, Flight Battlers, Magic Creature Battlers, Pharmaceutical Studies Battlers, Magic, wisdom, strength are all things they train to improve in. As well as leadership courses. Being Battlers helps them raise their ranks." Alice explained what the Battlers are and what some of them do.

Iruma started to get the picture of what Battlers are and continue listening to more.

"There's a group promotion exam reserved Battlers, but it's possible to raise your rank through personal achievements too." Alice mentioned this as well.

"About 60% of the student body is in some kind of battle or group. And it's also great for forging connections with upperclassmen." Alice added this too.

"Group activities when you're with upperclassmen." Iruma felt like he heard of something familiar like that back in the human world and the word came to him.

"I get it, they're clubs, right?" Iruma said.

"A club?" Alice was confused by that word.

"The tubs?" Clara said a word that rhymes with club, and wearing a fake mustache with glasses for some reason.

"Clubs, how about that? I was always too busy to join any. The idea intrigued me, but I never got around to it." Iruma believed this could be good for him to join clubs, or these "Battlers" as that's called here in the Neatherrealm.

"If you are interested, then I shall go with you." Alice volunteered to join whatever Battler Iruma wishes to join.

"Although I'm not quite sure what clubs are. Let's get you to Gimel. No wait, we'll move you to Dalet! I'm sure this will assist you in raising your rank, Iruma, sir." Alice believed.

"We'll help you." Clara smiled.

"All right, the ranks." Iruma said.

"(I just thought of them as practice to create a goal for myself, and I worked really hard to become a Bet.)" Iruma thought looked at his badge.

"(I wonder if rising to Gimel should be my next goal? It feels like I'm just going with the flow again.)" Iruma thought asked himself.

"But now I know how great it is to have one goal to focus all your energy on. On the other hand, maybe I can find true ambition through the Battlers and go even further.)" Iruma thought recalled all the training and hard work he did for that promotion exam, and he was able to earn his next rank.

"(Right now, I want to push myself and try new things.)" Iruma thought smiled, deciding to try out these Battlers.

"Yeah, let's find the Battlers. I'd love to." Iruma said.

"Yeah!" Clara cheered.

"As you wish, Master." Alice bowed.

"(A real club. They're sort of like this, right?)" Iruma thought tried to imagine these demon clubs to be like an art club or sports like soccer.

"Now that that's settled, Iruma, sir. Sit right here." Alice placed Iruma on top of a cushion on top of a table.

"Um, what am I…?" Iruma was very confused about why Alice just put him up like he's being display for a museum or something like that.

"I knew it was smart to bring you here to the cafeteria. We'll have a good view of the entrance from this position." Alice looked over at the entrance.

"The entrance?" Iruma was puzzled by what Alice means by that, then the alarm sound came again.

"They've arrived." Alice said.

"They're coming!" Clara announced, even she knows what's going on.

"Huh? What in the…?" Iruma started to feel scared than confused.

"You see, Senior Battlers are on their way here to recruit first year students." Alice explained.

Bursting through the entrance are the Senior demon students who are part of their own Battlers, and they look very wild and vicious as they are here for one reason and one reason alone.

"They call it the Rooke Hunt!" Alice revealed what this crazy event is called.

"Where are the first years?"

"Come out, come out and play, first years!"

"We're here for you, first years!"

Iruma became very scared when learning about the senior students coming to recruit the first-year students and seeing them with such scary looks on their faces gives him the impression that these seniors are going to recruit them very hard and painfully.

(Earlier)

However, as the upperclassmen who were waiting outside the first year's tower to recruit them.

Bachiko is with Dali looking over the upperclassmen waiting to go in, and they are looking very excited with those vicious grins on their faces.

"(Alright Iruma, this is your first time experiencing the Battler starting with the Rookie Hunt, so you better be careful about which Battler you're going to join and hopefully one that you'll be able to enjoy.)" Bachiko thought prayed for her son's safety.

"The Hunt Treaty: while recruiting new first years Battlers, please also be mindful of your fellow Battlers. Make sure you give each other room, be kind and be mindful of others." Dali explained the rules of the treaty.

"Now then… That's it for the niceties. Go crush everyone that gets in your way!" Dali roared.

"(I'm pretty sure Alice has explained the Battler thing to Iruma, now we'll see how he handles surviving the Rookie Hunt.)" Bachiko thought knew what comes next.

"Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Let the Rookie Hunt officially commence!" Dali declared.

(Present)

"The first year!"

"You would find some decent fresh meat!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

The upperclassmen ran for the hunt of the first-year students who are getting scared from this and run for their lives, but some of them wouldn't be able to get far when their Senior catches them and then drags them away.

One upperclassman spotted three in the cafeteria.

"Where the first years at!" He shouted in rage.

"Hey, wait!" Iruma panicked, wondering what he should do, but at the last second, Alice comes to defend Iruma by using his fire magic to force the upperclassman to back off and force to search elsewhere.

"Really? How dare you!" Alice glared. The guy may have been an upperclassman, but that didn't matter to him if he couldn't show some upmost respect to Iruma.

"That was awesome!" Clara was amazed.

"Thanks, Azz." Iruma thanked him.

"But of course, upperclassmen or not, no one's rude to you in front of me." Alice said.

"Look over there. No doubt about it, that's Asmodeus!" One Senior student recognized that pink hair demon kid.

"Yeah, first in his class. Please, join our Battler!" The Seniors charged at Alice to get him to join their Battlers.

But Alice burned away a flyer from one Senior and then put up a fiery barrier around himself, Iruma, and Clara to keep the seniors away.

"He burned my flyer!" One demon with a yellow horn gasped.

"He put up a flame barrier. Who does he think he is?" One pale blue skin demon asked in shock.

"So, cool! Yeah!" A couple of other upperclassmen were amazed.

"Let's move on." One Senior with a green headband said and they quickly leave the cafeteria.

"Bye-bye!" Clara said to the fleeting Seniors.

And so, Iruma and his friends leave the cafeteria with the flame barrier still up to protect them from any vicious upperclassmen.

"The Rookie Hunt is only allowed for 66 minutes on the day the ban on Battler or trial periods is lifted after lunch break. Some upperclassmen tend to be quite forceful when it comes to recruiting each year, but this is sure to keep any rabble away for time being." Alice explained.

"Yeah." Iruma smiled feeling glad that Alice put this up.

"Marshmallow is toot toot! Yay fire!" Clara roasted two marshmallows and eats them.

"Stop that!" Alice was annoyed that Clara is using his fire to roast marshmallows.

Iruma looks over to see some of his fellow first-year students getting chased and forced in a brutal way to make them join their Battlers.

"There's a lot going on…" Iruma exclaimed.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma had some archery training with Bachiko before the next day where he finds out about the Battlers that is one of the major things in Babyls, and seeing the upperclassmen being very forceful to the first-year students and he may have to be careful about which Battler he'll join.
