"Alright, it's decided then. Clara, Iruma, Shesi, and Asmodeus will be assigned to the Misfit Class."
The next day at the dining table, Sullivan was talking to Iruma and Shesi.
"Today is the day for class assignments. I've put Iruma and Shesi in a special class, you know."
Iruma, who was wolfing down his food, looked up.
"Special?"
"The Misfit Class? Do I have to go too?" Shesi looked at Sullivan with a hint of confusion.
Sullivan, seeing this, explained.
"Normally, you wouldn't have to, but I thought it would be better if you two brothers weren't separated. After all, you'd probably get lonely if you were apart, wouldn't you?"
Shesi considered this and agreed. Although the Misfit Class had some problematic individuals, they weren't all bad. If he was assigned there… he would just go with the flow.
As soon as they finished eating and stepped out, they saw Clara and Asmodeus waiting for them outside the door. The group set off for the academy. As they neared the academy, Asmodeus suddenly asked Iruma,
"Lord Iruma and Lord Shesi, why are you walking to school?" Asmodeus looked at Iruma and Shesi with some bewilderment.
Iruma's heart skipped a beat and he was about to explain when Asmodeus suddenly realized something.
"Indeed? Are Lord Iruma and Lord Shesi exercising?"
The four arrived at the notice board and looked at the class assignments. Clara immediately wrapped her arms around Shesi's head.
"This is great! I'm in the same class as She Si-chin, and Iruma-kun and Asmodeus too!"
Asmodeus, seeing Clara like this, also complained.
"Easy there. Didn't Lord Iruma already say on the way here that the four of us are in the same class? Still, I must say it's truly an honor to be in the same class as the two Lords."
Beside them, Eiko, the female demon Iruma saved in Chapter 2, said,
"I'm not in the same class as Lord Iruma~" With that, she slumped down in disappointment. The female demon next to her quickly asked with concern,
"Eiko, are you alright!"
"I'm… I'm… fine…"
The group walked into the first-year tower.
"Logically, all first-year classes are in this tower," Asmodeus said. Just as they were about to get lost, a signpost appeared before the four of them.
"Looks like it's this way," Clara immediately chased after it, and the others followed. As they walked, Iruma saw other Teachers giving lessons and even Teachers personally instructing students. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Although it's a demon school, it looks more like a regular school. I've never been to school before, so I'm a little excited."
"Let's go, little bean," Shesi said to Iruma, who was still looking around.
"Oh! Coming, Nii-chan!"
The group followed the signpost and eventually found themselves outside.
"I'm starting to doubt this thing," Shesi said, stroking his chin.
The signpost flew into a hole.
"Underground? There are classrooms in a place like this?"
The group continued downwards, and suddenly smelled a very pungent odor.
Then they saw a dilapidated door with a sign that read '1-Demon' — it was the Misfit Class that Iruma and his friends were looking for.
Iruma gently waved, and the door opened. Just as he was about to enter, Clara directly crashed into him, pushing him inside.
"Charge!"
"Ugh…" Iruma stumbled, but as soon as he entered, it was as if a mechanism had been triggered, and a barrage of swords and daggers flew at him.
But who was Iruma? A person with overwhelming crisis-avoidance ability. These traps were destined not to touch Iruma. Seeing this, Shesi still exclaimed,
"It's a bug-like ability, similar to Observation Haki. Why can't I learn it?"
Although Shesi could sense some things, it was nowhere near as terrifying as Iruma's ability.
The people in the class, seeing Iruma's superb maneuvers, immediately applauded.
"Nice!"
"Amazing~"
"As expected of a special student."
Asmodeus reacted and quickly yelled at the people inside.
"Hey, what do you mean by this?"
"What do we mean? Uh… should we say it's an initiation prank? Oh, right, everyone, come get your money."
"Are there bets too?" Shesi also walked in at this moment. As soon as Shesi spoke, everyone's attention immediately turned to him.
"Ah, how cute! Are you Shesi? I heard your familiar is the same as the previous Demon King's. Can you show us?" A very tall female demon immediately surrounded Shesi and said.
"Uh… next time," Shesi was a bit embarrassed. It seemed that form had magic power now, but he didn't remember the incantation for that magic circle. After all, at that time, besides Naberius Kalego not teaching him, he had gone home to recuperate. As a native human from the human world, he truly didn't know anything about incantations.
Iruma's face instantly darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"The first step into the classroom and I almost got killed."
"It's okay, the infirmary is right next door. But speaking of which, although Iruma-kun dodged everything, it seems some did hit."
"Hit everything?" X3
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the side.
"Ridiculous! Dodging? I would never do such a cowardly act!" A very tall demon walked over, impaled with swords and daggers.
"I am Sabnock Sabro, a man destined to become the Demon King! How could I commit such a cowardly act!" With that, he directly crushed a sword.
"Listen well, special student, I will become a Yuddo before you, and then the Demon King!" Sabnock Sabro said to Iruma.
"Yuddo?" Iruma clearly hadn't read about the history and information of the demon world. Shesi sighed and then explained to Iruma,
"The ranks of the demon world are divided into ten levels, from lowest to highest they are Alef, Bet, Gimel, Kvet, Hei, Vav, Zain, Chet, Tet, Yuddo. And the Demon King is among the Yuddo."
"And I am to become the next Demon King! Therefore, I cannot stand anyone whose rank might be higher than mine."
A demon nearby suddenly thought,
"So that's why you fought with the Teacher on the first day, and that's why you ended up in this class?"
"Because I believe defeating Teachers is the shortcut to raising one's rank."
"I see," Iruma said.
"I see my ass! You don't even know what a Yuddo is, are you really a demon?" Sabnock Sabro snarled at Iruma.
Suddenly, Asmodeus shielded Iruma.
"Please watch your words, Sabnock."
"Oh, Asmodeus, the top student in the entrance exam. I heard you summoned a Gorgon Snake. I, however, summoned a Water Horse (front half horse, back half fish)! In terms of number of legs, I completely outclass you!"
Asmodeus was a bit speechless.
"Who wants to compare that with you?"
"It doesn't matter. But when you became the special student's servant, I removed you from my list of rival candidates. As for you, Shesi, I heard you summoned the familiar of the previous Demon King. Want to have a fight?" Sabnock looked at Shesi.
