Babyls Highlands Point 13
We did everything we could.
Right, Master.
Your gloves aren't loose, right?
Right.
You've got all your equipment, right?
And you're feeling okay?
Right.
Now, remember, you can only use two arrows.
Only use them when you have no other choice.
Right!
All right.
In that case...
Bachi-go!
Whoa!
Go knock their socks off!
I'm off!
The students of the Misfit Class were given a task.
If they do not all advance to the Dalet rank before their second year,
they will be kicked out of the Royal One, which they worked so hard to acquire.
Iruma and his friends must attempt the rank-advancement exams.
First up... The Harvest Festival!
The Signal That the Harvest Festival Has Begun
"The Signal That the Harvest Festival Has Begun."
Dali-sensei and Suzie-sensei's
Enjoy the Harvest Festival!!
Hello!
It sure is getting cold out there, which means it's time for...
Hot pot! Don't you think?
Yis.
All the ingredients around this time of year are filled with nutrients,
and you just keep finding yourself wanting to eat more.
Oh, it's so good!
I'd love to feed this to the students, too.
Hey, great idea!
In that case...
Let's have them go and get these!
On their own!
The final practical training event for the first-years, the Harvest Festival.
In the netherworld, where it's survival of the fittest,
being able to acquire food is the utmost priority.
This event brings out the hunting instincts in demons,
and the way they devour life is beautiful.
Hello!
It's that time of year once again! The Harvest Festival!
Yis!
I've prepared the field again this year.
Oho, that's our diabotany instructor for you!
The mother of all plants!
Yis!
I've placed a giant jungle behind Babyls.
In this battlefield surrounded by a fence and vines,
you will find swamps, rocks, caves, and much more!
You will all be doing this exam on your own.
Your rank in this event will be decided
by how many points you accumulate from everything you gather!
Working together with fellow students at times
but then tricking them and getting ahead of them is the charm of this event!
Everyone, let your talents shine through to victory!
Now, then...
MENACING
First-year rookies!
Are you ready?!
RUMBLING
Yeah!
They sure are excited.
Yis.
Winning at the Harvest Festival is a huge honor.
Last year's winner is our very own student council president,
Azazel Ameri-san!
Our past winners continued to advance in rank after winning,
Past Winners
Azazel Ameri
and became prominent figures of the netherworld!
Balam Shichiro
This means the Harvest Festival is the gateway to successfully becoming famous demons!
Azazel Henri
There are four entrances to glory!
Make sure you're all hyped up to advance those ranks!
Yeah!
Check this out. I bought some armor!
Now I'm as strong as a hundred demons!
No...
According to my data, the first-years this year are the cream of the crop.
They're all formidable foes.
What?
Isn't he from the Broadcast Battler?
Even President Baraki has acknowledged how amazing this first-year cohort is!
First-year student from the Broadcast Battler, Warb!
Broadcast Battler Warb
Keem Svario, Tokel Fallin, and John Varno.
These guys are quite the fighters out of the Bet-ranked students here.
Rank 2 (Bet)
Huh...
So, hey. Where's your equipment?
I didn't buy any because I was gathering data!
Uh...
Hey, tell us more.
Well...
That devi reeks!
What is that awful smell?
My nose is all messed up!
You must be fine because you don't have a nose, Dosa-chan.
Everyone, stay back! That's Naphula!
The smell is awful,
but apparently demons faint if they get too close—
Rank 3 (Gimel)
Rank Gimel, Naphula the Silent.
Naphula the Silent
The first-year you must absolutely stay away from.
They're looking at entrance number two...
Nope, no way. Definitely avoiding entrance number two.
Number one, right? It must be number one!
Because I'm number one!
Sure.
The Dorodoro Brothers!
But aren't they second-years?
They flunked out
because they're always skipping classes to hang out in the northern battlefield!
So the rumor that they were going to participate in the Harvest Festival was true.
First means first place, right?
I'm surprised you knew.
Dorodoro Brothers
The biggest rule-breakers of the first-years, the Dorodoro Brothers!
Ichiro and Niro!
Let's go to entrance number one!
Those who aren't first place on the battlefield die.
Yup.
Guess number one's out of the question, too...
Seriously?
Why are they participating, anyway?
They probably need more course credits.
You there.
Could you be a bit quieter?
I'm trying to concentrate on my books.
Um... S-Sorry.
A proper apology. I accept.
He's another favorite to win.
The most second-place first-year ever, Orobas—
Hey, I know him!
The guy who always places second!
In the practical and written parts of the entrance exam, he got second!
And then he placed second on every other exam that followed!
There's even speculation that he could probably get first,
but he's purposely placing second!
The unknown talent!
Orobas Coco
Wow...
I'm starting to think we're doomed no matter what entrance we use.
We would've been better off not knowing.
But you know...
There's Asmodeus, who placed first in the practical exam,
and Allocer, who placed first on the written.
The ones I have the most hope for are the students of the Misfit Class.
Scwhing
Wh-What the?!
M-Maybe they have some feelings about the Misfit Class...
But if we're being honest, they're the stars of the first-years.
They obtained the classroom that the Demon King Derkila used,
the Royal One.
Then there's also Walter Park...
And because they're so amazing,
it's only natural that other talented students are jealous.
But you know...
They all seem so cozy somehow.
They're so wild and carefree.
It feels like even we'd stand a chance.
Yeah, exactly.
Speak of the devil. That's probably the Misfit Class.
Hey!
We're not gonna lose this... time...
Huh? Is that really them?
They seem different...
Or just all beat up.
Whew!
Looks like we made it in time.
Though we weren't done working them to the bone yet.
They're a little rough around the edges,
but this is the debut of our students after going through our training.
I'm so excited!
Guys... I almost didn't recognize you.
I'm sure we all survived some insane training.
It was so long...
It hurt so much...
I don't want to remember it.
Days filled with despair!
I've gotten another step closer to being the Demon King.
You all look so wonderful.
How exciting.
I cannot die just yet!
Clara
So how in the world did you end up like that?
Why aren't you answering me?
Anyway, I'm just glad everyone seems... to be okay?
Yes, yes.
Yeah, those days filled with suffering...
Though I'm pretty sure we had it the hardest.
What?
Hello? I had it the hardest!
No, we indeed experienced the ultimate hell.
Please, don't make me laugh.
The absurdity!
You just played games, Lead-dono!
What? Nuh-uh.
My training was way harder than playing around in some water.
I cannot let that slide!
I'm surprised y'all are still alive.
Barely!
All of you jerks who ignored my messages, come here!
Every day was despair!
Did you two have a fun girls' party?
More like girls' parting.
Girls' Party
Girls' Parting
Did you play circus with some magical beasts?
Oh, how amusing.
What the heck's going on?
Are they breaking up?
Okay, let's figure this out, once and for all.
Which team trained the hardest and matured the most?
We'll settle this with our results from the Harvest Festival!
Yeah!
Everyone, sorry I'm la—
What?!
Everyone seems quite confident in their training.
Azz-kun.
Azz-kun!
H-Hello!
Hi!
I haven't seen him in so long, I got flustered.
At first,
I was worried whether Iruma-sama had a tutor who could properly train him.
But splendid, Iruma-sama!
It appears your training went well.
You've become even more magnificent!
No wonder you're the Demon King's vessel!
Azz-kun?
Now that I look closer, his clothes are torn apart,
and so is he.
His training must've been really intense.
So intense that even Azz-kun had a hard time.
No, mine was way worse!
That goes for everyone!
Well, I worked harder.
In order for us to all go up in rank,
The water was worse.
Bet.
they all did their best with training over the past few weeks and have gotten stronger.
Well, I...
I won't lose, either.
Right...
Let's all do our absolute best and give it our all!
Okay, let's do this!
He cheered me on...
Just as Iruma-sama has said!
We all...
We all?
I swallowed my tears and parted from Iruma-sama for the sake of my training,
and now is the time to show those results...
But we're going to be separated again?!
I hadn't anticipated that!
I thought I was done being separated from Iruma-sama!
Asmodeus Alice.
All of his hard work was for the sake of standing next to Iruma.
It was not to raise his rank,
because he's already Dalet rank anyway.
Rank 4 (Dalet)
He's already met the requirement to stay in the Royal One.
But if Iruma-sama insists on all of us splitting up...
But then again...
Hm? What is the matter?
If you need to go to the bathroom, take care of that now!
That's not it!
Hey, Iruma-kun.
They're underestimating us.
Um... I can't seem to find Clara.
Huh? Clarin?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen her.
All right, everyone.
It's about time to take off!
Yis.
The time limit is 6,666 minutes.
minutes
This grand event will last about four days.
Gather at the entrance you plan to use!
Yeah!
Student Council Office
It's about to start.
I heard that the students are phenomenal this year.
I wonder who's coming up.
All right!
Before we all split up, Misfit Class, gather round!
I'm sure everyone has plenty they want to say...
But let's all agree on something right now.
Okay, let's hear the cheer.
Here, Iruma-kun.
Whisper, whisper, whisper...
Huh?! I-I have to say that?!
What?!
We're all able to take this rank-advancement exam together.
We all endured our training for this day!
Let's give it our all and get through this challenge!
To achieve our goal!
All right, tell them, Iruma-kun!
If you hold us back, I'll kick your ass!
Bring it on, jackass!
All right!
Who will be the one to signal the start of the Harvest Festival?
Three!
Two!
One!
Start!
Yeah! Hunting time!
Go, go, go!
It's all about speed!
Got it!
Lightspeed Mushroom
Lightspeed mushroom.
It runs stupidly fast.
No poison. Ten points.
The Harvest Festival is all about points.
I got it!
You get more points depending on how hard each ingredient is to get.
Try to get ingredients worth the most points and hand them in.
Fake
By the way, any counterfeits will get you disqualified.
Balam-sensei will be checking.
No more counterfeits.
Also, no fighting between students.
If you directly attack them, you'll be disqualified on the spot.
The instructors will be wandering around to make sure you're all safe.
I got one!
These are amazingly delicious, Orias-sensei.
Come on, now...
Let's all eat some together.
We're not on a field trip.
They're great grilled, or even cooked with rice.
Ugh, what should I do?
Sheesh.
I guess entrance one was a huge winner.
They aren't worth big points, but there are tons of things to catch.
In the end, the one who catches the most ingredients wins.
We're not out of the running to win this thing!
Candy-Whiskered Tiger
We take back...
...what we said.
Run away!
We're gonna die! We're gonna die! We're gonna die!
Why is there a huge monster like this right at the start?!
We don't stand a chance—
Out of the way, you fools!
What?!
I am...
in an awful mood right now.
Wow!
I know I mentioned a signal, but...
It's definitely burning.
Hey, that's my student.
Mine...
That should do it.
That is the most devi intense.
Dang, Asmodeus.
He caught almost all the ingredients around these parts.
Yeah, he basically won. But wait...
Is he crying?
To think I have to work separately from Iruma-sama!
In that case, I'll have everyone see how much I've grown, and...
My goal is victory! Any less is inconceivable!
My goal is crystal clear.
But there must be a better way...
To think... I'd get stuck with you again.
What can you do?
Eventually, only our class remains,
so our class is now competing against each other.
I have to go along with this since Iruma-san wishes it...
But now there are only the big ones left to hunt for.
If this is going to be a team battle,
we absolutely need to split up our points.
Right.
The lowest score we can get and still win is 50,000 points.
At the last Harvest Festival,
President Ameri won with 59,000 points,
but there are two of us, so we'll have to get twice that much.
That means we'll need at least 100,000 points.
Which means...
We're going after boss-class targets.
Most of the targets in the Harvest Festival are worth 10 to 150 points.
If you were hunting alone,
you'd get as many of these as possible to score your points.
This is the option most students would choose.
Meanwhile,
in rare cases, there are boss-class targets that cannot be hunted alone.
They are all giant ingredients worth over 3,000 points,
and team formations are necessary to take them down.
Boss-class, eh? I can hardly wait.
But there is a rarer ingredient that surpasses even that.
And that is the legendary ingredient... legend leaf.
Is it a fruit or other greenery?
It's a completely unknown and secret ingredient.
Apparently it exists somewhere in the field,
but it seems to be extremely hard to get.
If you can get it, you receive 100,000 points!
Interesting...
But throughout history, no one has ever found it.
It's basically a rumor right now, and we're unsure if it actually exists.
If we hunt down boss-class targets while looking for the legend leaf...
We're currently here.
Any suspicious areas where the boss-class targets may exist—
The cave in the east is your best bet!
When did they...
I didn't sense them at all.
Aren't these two second-years?
The Dorodoro Brothers!
What?
I was just giving you my thoughts. Right?
Right?
We overheard what you were talking about.
Asmodeus Alice. Sabnock Sabro.
How about a little competition?
Su
Ki
Ma
Menacing
I can't help but be curious.
Why are you dressed like that?
Two balls?
Two orbs...
Are you saying it's orbviously by chance?
I guess not...
You're skipping... and being cautious?
That's it!
You're wearing a disguise so that the ingredients won't be as cautious!
That's it, isn't it?
It's not?!
Those moves...
I'm pretty sure she's just playing around!
Next Episode Preview
The Harvest Festival has finally begun!
Through his training, Iruma-sama has become even more magnificent.
I'm sure he'll play a huge part in this event,
and I will bow down saying, "You've slain me yet again, Iruma-sama!"
Just how shall I bow down?
Like this? Should I pose like this?
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"Cunning Demons."
The Dorodoro Brothers?
My heart is dancing from excitement as I imagine Iruma-sama's grand accomplishments!
What could you possibly want from me?!
