The rank-advancement exam:
a special event held by the school to determine the students' ranks.
It is the duty of all the students of the demon school Babyls
to advance their ranks through this exam.
The first-years get seven chances to raise their ranks:
the summoning ritual, the flying race,
execution cannonball, the Battler Party,
the end-of-terminus exams, and in addition to these...
the first-years' final battle, the Harvest Festival,
and the last chance for them to show off their appeal, the Music Festival.
In these two events where the students shine the most,
the Misfit Class students will strive to climb to the rank of Dalet.
If they don't all reach this rank...
If you fail this order, you will immediately be ejected from the Royal One!
In order to get through this trial,
the students of the Misfit Class began training with tutors.
Master Bachiko
"Master Bachiko."
No entry!
Guest Staff Room
Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle...
I can't believe she's working me to the bone while I'm wearing this frilly, fluffy outfit.
N-Now, now...
Don't worry about it. Let's do our best, Lead-kun.
Iruma-kun, you really do seem used to this.
Huh?!
Frilly and fluffy.
Th-That's not true...
Really?
Y-Yes, really.
Hey, Iruminati-chan and Lindy-chan.
Quit yer yappin' and get to workin'.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Lindy-chan? Me?!
Next, I think I'd like to eat some homemade sweets made by my precious little minions.
I'll get all the ingredients ready for you, so snap to it and chop chop.
Snap to it and...
...chop chop?
Snap to it and...
...chop chop?!
The Fruity Ground Dragon.
Fruity Ground Dragon
The strawberries growing on its head are super sweet and delicious!
W-We somehow got them...
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Hey, took you long enough.
So long that I now feel like eating meat instead.
Burp.
I don't need those anymore.
Anyway, you two can go home now.
Man, I'm stuffed.
Training!
Welcome home, Iruma-sama.
Hey, thanks.
Welcome home, Iruma-kun!
Did you have another fun day?
Yup.
You fools! I told you I wanted Ultra Sweet today!
Super Sweet
Super Sweet is not Ultra Sweet.
Welcome home, Iruma-sama.
Oh. Hey, thanks.
Welcome home, Iruma-kun!
I've been waiting all day for you!
Yup.
You gotta do it harder, or it's not gonna do any good!
S-Sorry.
For cryin' out loud...
Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
Oh, look at the time.
Okay, you guys can go home now.
"You guys can go home," my ass!
Day in, day out, she's just making selfish demands!
This has nothing to do with advancing our ranks!
We're just errand boys! I'm done with this!
I'll still be worried, but I'm gonna ask Robin-sensei to tutor me.
You should come with me, Iruma-kun. Yeah?
Um... I'm okay here for a bit longer.
What? Why, though?
Well... I'm used to things being unfair.
And I think maybe Master Bachiko has some kind of plan,
so I think I'll be okay with her a little longer.
That can't be good for your health.
Nah, I'll be fine!
In that case, I'm gonna head over to Robin-sensei.
You should come, too, when you feel like it.
Sure, thanks!
Hey.
Master! I'm sorry! I'll get these up to dry immediately!
To be honest, I'm surprised.
It's quite impressive.
No one's lasted this long dealing with my orders.
That willpower you possess when it comes to helping others out...
Your drive to take action...
You know, you're really...
the biggest moron I've ever met.
Welcome home, Iruma-sama.
Mm.
Iruma-sama?
Welcome home, Iruma-kun! Let's eat!
Make sure you have plenty to eat, Iruma-kun!
Your Hell Grey tea.
And eat tomorrow's dinner's worth in the morning.
And tomorrow night, eat the next day's breakfast's worth.
And two mornings from now...
Huh? That's strange.
You idiot! Dumbass! Moron! Pfft, you're too slow!
Master's face just won't leave my mind.
My chest feels really tight, and it feels like there's something in my throat.
For some reason, I feel...
...the biggest moron I've ever met.
I feel...
insanely frustrated!
I'm so insanely frustrated...
that I can't sleep!
Iruma-sama! How glorious it is to have you call me!
Is something the matter?
S-Sorry for calling so late.
Oh, it's perfectly fine!
I'm still in the middle of training.
Wait, this late?!
It's an assignment from Balam-sensei, and it's an impossible amount of work...
So I feel... incredibly motivated!
I-I see.
Sorry to bother you, Azz-kun.
Do your best.
Thank you! I shall!
I want to show you how much I've grown as soon as possible!
Please feel free to contact me at any time! Goodnight!
The girls' meeting is starting now.
Girls' meeting?
I guess Clara's training this late, too.
I see.
Everyone's working hard.
I can't just let her call me a moron like that.
Which means I need to...
Moron, moron.
I won't just be a moron who only does what he's told.
Huh?
I will willingly...
become the most perfect errand boy!
It is an honor to serve you!
Now, Master! Have some tea!
How did you come to this conclusion?
Wait, you're laughing?
Will this perfect errand boy be able to reach the Dalet rank?
Sure
After school...
This concludes our lessons for the day.
Make sure you don't forget your homework for each class.
Now, all of you, head to your training.
You do understand, don't you?
If you do not advance to Dalet, you will be thrown out of the Royal One.
Enjoy your struggles.
These are statements from the actual parties involved.
Come on, let's be honest here.
I know we're all curious.
It's been two weeks since we met these tutors.
Just what kind of horrifying training has everyone else been going through?
The Horror!!
Truly Horrifying Training
That Actually Happened!!
Let's start...
with the two who are dripping wet!
Thank you for noticing!
It's truly horrifying just thinking back on it.
Master Vepar said that she wants to strengthen our bloodline abilities...
Your bloodline abilities are truly powerful,
but that's only on the surface.
Making you unable to use your bloodline abilities
and then making you get them back...
That is the training I've thought of.
And that's why...
you'll be spending some time underwater.
Wait, that's just torture!
And that's why Agares-dono has been sleeping constantly when not training.
Yikes! But he's always asleep!
Day after day, we're spending our time in the water.
I'm sorta in the same boat.
Robin-sensei asked me to bring him my favorite things,
so I brought him all of my games and...
Okay, let's beat them all in six days.
Huh?
This is training to increase your concentration!
You'll be playing the ones you've already beaten, too.
I mean... I do like video games...
I'll be playing, too.
Let's take a break.
Not yet. Put your back into it!
Um, it's morning...
Okay, we can continue tomorrow.
Make sure you go to your usual classes.
Bye now!
You're friggin' bugging out my brain!
And "tomorrow" isn't tomorrow anymore when it's morning already!
Oh...
But that's your training, isn't it?
There's gotta be limits!
I can't be out until the sun rises every night!
Ugh!
We haven't even gone home yet.
Huh?
We can't go home until we get one hit in.
You've still got a ways to go.
You're mine!
Curses...
You're completely obvious.
He does actually retaliate, so we've been getting roughed up.
We're constantly training other than when we're in our classes.
Simple yet terrifying...
Um, speaking of not being able to go home, two of us...
Jazz-dono and Allocer-dono are not here.
Yeah, about that...
I sent a message asking how training's going.
He took us somewhere amazing! Sergeant Furfur seems like such an awesome adult!
At first, it sounded like they were having fun.
"He took us somewhere amazing!
Sergeant Furfur seems like such an awesome adult!"
Huh...? Uh... Hm? Something's going on...
But the messages gradually got shorter and shorter...
"Huh? Uh... Hm? Something's going on."
Lead, could you come over here?
"Lead, could you come over here?"
The last reply I got was...
CRAP
HELP U—
Okay, next.
Oh, how about you two, Clara-dono and Eliza-dono?!
Um... What are those poses?
I did see you guys doing those in class, but...
We're practicing making you keep your eyes on us!
The important thing is to control their eyes.
Women improve the more they're looked at.
And that's why
we must always strike beautiful poses!
Yes!
It is extremely brutal!
So, what happened to you?
Allow me to explain in her stead.
As summoners, we were told it'd be best to be in
the same environment as the beasts we communicate with.
No! It stinks! It's gross! Let me out!
Spending the whole day in a cage with a wild beast...
It was just so filthy.
Truly!
I want to get closer to Lady Keroli!
Not some smelly beast! So why was I put in a different cage?!
You never change, do you?
Now, you're the only one left, Iruma-sama!
What kind of training have you been doing?!
Waterfall meditation, waterfall meditation?!
Waterstand meditation, waterjump meditation?!
Well, I...
First, I have to boil water.
And then...
I prepare my master's breakfast and tea...
Not bad.
Yes, ma'am!
Then, sometimes, I go clothes shopping with her...
How about this one?
Not bad.
Then we have a discussion over sweets.
Hm... That's very deep.
Right?
I dry her futons,
do her laundry, draw her bath,
prepare her dinner, and then go home.
That's basically how my training's been going every day!
That's not training.
Wait, what?
B-But Master is slowly starting to acknowledge me...
You're basically her servant.
She can just say "this" or "that," and I can understand what she wants.
Oh, Iruma-chi is being bullied...
Are you all right?! Should I report this to Lord Kalego?!
I guess we've all got it rough.
There is no end in sight right now.
Maybe they're just messing with us...
I just want to relax.
I would like to sleep.
We still don't even know the point of this training.
Truly, I am quite done with this.
Assemble!
Roger!
What? Are all of you going?
Well...
I really don't wanna get kicked out.
Not to mention,
the last thing I wanna do is lose to adults being so unreasonable.
We are the Misfit Class, after all.
Everyone...
Iruma-chi!
Fall for me!
Everyone's serious about reaching Dalet rank.
I need to train hard, too,
so that all of us can protect the Royal One.
Damn it, he's late.
It's long past sweets time.
Is he still in class?
Aw, I've spotted a Bachiko-chan!
It's been a while! You really did come!
Have you been well?
Y-Yes...
I see.
Thank you for responding to such an abrupt summons.
Oh, it's nothing.
Well, you are quite strong. I'm very happy.
A-Anything for you, Sullivan-sama.
It seems like you're getting along well with Iruma-kun, too.
I hope you'll continue helping Iruma-kun with his training.
Oh, it's from Master Bachiko.
Let's see...
Food shopping, laundry, and...
creating a new weapon?
A new weapon?
Yup!
We'll be making one for your training.
Master?!
A brand new weapon for you.
A weapon...
Babyls Highlands Point 13
Alrighty then. We're gonna start training.
Um...
What do you mean by "Alrighty then"?
I was enjoying the good life so much that I forgot about your training.
My bad.
You forgot?!
Um...
I thought running errands for you was my training...
Huh?
How the hell would that be training? You were just my errand boy.
That was really blunt!
So it wasn't training?
Upsy-daisy.
Though, to be perfectly honest, there's really no point in training.
Huh?!
Don't come over here.
There's only one thing I can teach you.
You heard that I'm related to Robi, right?
Robi's from a branch family, and I'm from the main family.
We pretty much have the same abilities.
My partner in crime is this uber, super, duper cute...
baby.
The Winged Devourer of Despair, Undead Archer Barbatos Bachiko.
The Winged Devourer of Despair (Undead Archer) Barbatos Bachiko
Hundred Bullseyes!
Gotcha.
Hundred
Bullseyes
So, with the Barbatos family bloodline ability, Hundred Bullseyes,
as long as you can keep concentrating,
you can continue shooting arrows that will hit their targets without fail.
It's the evolved version of Robi's Bullseye Shot, which he can only use once a day.
The only ones who can actually hit the mark 100% of the time
are me, the chief, and the president.
The chief and the president?
President Barbatos is one of
the Three Heroes of the Great War in Demon Valley, along with Furfur and Vepar.
Heroes?
I've had plenty of demons come to me to learn how to shoot
because they admire my Hundred Bullseyes.
But demons naturally get bored easily, so they lack concentration and patience.
Striking down any enemy, no matter how far,
and helping their allies survive...
People fear this weapon
because a single archer can turn the battle around.
If you manage to learn it, you'll advance far beyond Dalet, but...
It's impossible.
Demons just ain't cut out to use this.
Uh... What's with that face?
Huh?! M-My face?
Was there something weird about it?
But, um... You were amazingly cool, Master!
You were on fire!
Are you really going to teach me that super cool thing?!
W-Well, if you're willing to try, I'll help you out.
Come on, let's go.
Huh?
I said we're gonna make your weapon, didn't I?
Let's go? But where are we going?
Here.
Huh? What?
But this is...
This place is famous for making all kinds of insane things.
The Magical Apparatus Battler!
U-Uh-huh...
Su-Ki-Ma! Gotcha!
Su
Ki
Ma
Iruminati!
Lindy!
The two of us...
are Master Bachiko's personal maids!
Iru and Li!
Li and Iru!
Iruminati-chan, I'm pretty sure my name goes first.
It should be Li and Iru.
Lindy-chan, I should be first.
It's Iru and Li.
I won't compromise on this.
Well, neither will I!
Fine!
Let's just see who happens to be...
...the better maid!
Who the hell cares?
Next Episode Preview
Iruminati-chan sure is working hard.
Lindy needs to do her best, too!
No, wait! I need to do my best.
If everyone other than me is able to make it to Dalet,
I'm sure Robin-sensei will laugh at me.
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"Iruma's True Feelings."
Huh? Iruma-kun? What's that in your hand?
A new weapon?!
Oh my gosh! That's so cool!
You're lovely, Iruminati-chan!
