"Ah, flying and magic have already been tested. Of course, I don't need to say, those who fail will definitely have remedial classes. You must remember to achieve scores worthy of this classroom."
At this moment, anyone with eyes could tell that Kalego, no, this demon, was smiling, and it was a genuine smile.
"What is a theory class?" The one who spoke such a shocking statement was naturally our Clara. Clara tugged on Kerori's sleeve and asked.
"Eh? You don't even know that?"
"I think I heard about it before…"
Asmodeus looked at the grim faces of everyone in the demon children's class and couldn't help but say,
"Honestly, those who don't prepare well are foolish. Wouldn't you agree, Iruma Ad—? Iruma-kun? Why have you lost your color! Artist! Save him!"
That's right~ Iruma was already about to disappear when he heard about the theory exam~
…Inside the Division room.
"You're not good at studying?" Asmodeus asked Iruma.
"Yes… I don't know if it counts as not being good at it, but I just haven't gotten used to studying yet…"
"What kind of rhetoric is that?" Shesi-kun expressed some confusion.
"It's alright, you can definitely do it."
"Really…" Iruma took out his test papers for each subject to show them.
"0… 3… 5… 7… Single digits…"
"I'm sorry…" Although Iruma didn't know why he should apologize, looking at their gazes, he always felt that his scores… "Eh? Iruma-kun can't read?" Clara looked at Iruma in confusion. Iruma felt as if an arrow had pierced his body upon hearing this.
"Indeed… regarding reading…"
Then Asmodeus's words also shot over like an arrow.
But Iruma suddenly thought, he at least had a brother, and both of them were humans. Demonic common sense was naturally… "Huh… little brother, is this something a human can score?"
Shesi-kun took out his own test paper.
80… 780… 95.
"Nani!" Iruma looked at his brother in shock. How could his brother score so well?
"Because I've been cramming all this time," Shesi-kun said with a wide smile, revealing his white teeth. From the first day he arrived in the Demon World, Shesi-kun had been studying the knowledge of the Demon World. If you ask why? Because of fear, apprehension. Shesi-kun wanted to survive in the Demon World, so he couldn't wait for the Demon World to Adapt to him, but rather to Adapt to the Demon World. So from the very beginning, he had obtained books from Asmodeus through a bet and frequently visited the library. It could be said that his human perseverance allowed Shesi-kun to successfully cram all the knowledge of the Demon World. Although he might not be as strong as Asmodeus, who was like a "Demon World Encyclopedia," in certain aspects, he was definitely better at studying than those demons who only knew how to play.
"It's because of fear that there's motivation, little brother. You still have a lot to learn." Shesi-kun patted Iruma's shoulder.
"There's no helping it then~ Let Big Sister Clara teach you~" Clara said, taking out her class papers.
"12… 10… 15… 21… Damn it, higher than me…" Iruma knelt down.
"You are dumber than me~" Clara pointed at Iruma and said.
Clara's words were nothing short of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, causing immense damage.
"Tsk tsk, what a disgrace," Shesi-kun said, looking at Iruma.
Iruma looked at Asmodeus, who was examining his test paper nearby, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Sure enough… Asmodeus was also shocked by my scores, wasn't he… But Asmodeus, looking at Iruma, was thinking:
"Iruma-kun is truly incredible. Despite having the power to overcome all difficulties, he is unfamiliar with worldly affairs. That gentleness is extremely rare among demons. However, it is precisely because of this that one can often feel the magnanimity of that heart… And, at that time… the moment you sat on the throne, I felt as if I saw the future." Thinking of this, Asmodeus instantly burst into tears.
"Eh? Asmodeus?"
"Iruma-kun, you will definitely get a perfect score! Let's review in the Division room after school. I will do my best to help you understand anything you don't!"
Just then, the Division door suddenly opened.
"I have come to pay my respects!"
The four of them turned their heads and saw that it was Eligoth Segner, the culprit behind Ameri's becoming more girlish.
"I will be joining you all starting today. Please take care of me, fellow comrades!"
At this moment, Shesi-kun's phone rang. After answering, it was Ameri on the other end.
"Ah, sorry, Shesi-kun, this is so sudden… This matter has already been decided. The Student Council work is too much of a burden for Schneider. However, if he's not watched, it will be very dangerous, so I wanted to place him in a Division that is within my sight and trustworthy. After all, this person is also a genius; he researched and developed a personality-altering magic tool through self-study. Your Division doesn't have any third-year students either, right? So… I'm counting on you all."
"Ah… Alright," Shesi-kun scratched his head. Although he knew this person would come to his Division, he had indeed forgotten that it was this time in the original story. He had wanted to create what he envisioned while Iruma and the others were studying hard… Huh? Some talent? Shesi-kun looked thoughtfully at Schneider, who was being beaten up by Clara and Asmodeus for displaying his anime figures.
"The four of us finally got together! And now you're interrupting me and Shesi-kun, and Iruma-kun!"
"You two, wait a moment," Shesi-kun interrupted them both, then looked at Schneider.
"Senior, could you let me witness your talent?"
"Eh? Eh???" Schneider shivered as Shesi-kun got closer. He had heard about Shesi-kun's deeds in the Student Council recently: throwing his watch at someone, then falsely accusing him of stealing it, and then beating him up!
Schneider swallowed hard.
"Of… Of course, Shesi-kun, what do you want me to do?"
"Can you…"
…"My name is Suzuki Iruma, 14. My brother and I were sold to the Demon World by our parents. Although we experienced many difficulties, we narrowly escaped each time. But now I am facing a huge difficulty… studying!"
"Ah…" Shesi-kun only felt why teaching someone to study was harder than researching magic himself!
"No, read this problem a few more times. Didn't I tell you to find the keywords? I also explained what the keywords mean."
"Gomenasai…" Iruma looked at his brother, who was starting to get furious, and quickly apologized.
"Forget it, let's go eat breakfast first. Afterwards, you can go read the definitions I organized for you," Shesi-kun said, rubbing his forehead. Last night, Iruma found Shesi-kun and said that he heard the brain was better in the morning, so he wanted to study, and asked Shesi-kun to tutor him. Shesi-kun was happy to agree, as it was the first time he had seen Iruma so motivated to study.
