The Harvest Festival.
As the first day came to a close and everyone
was going to sleep in preparation for the next day...
There were some who didn't sleep at all.
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 Dorodoro Brothers' Provocation
"The Dorodoro Brothers' Provocation."
Now's our chance!
Whoa, there. Not so fast.
You're mine!
Seventy-nine! So hard!
Pretty lively, ain't ya?!
We're quite accustomed to fighting through the night.
Indeed!
Why are they fighting even during the nighttime?
Let us go back in time a bit.
Competition?
If you two win,
we'll give you all of the points we've earned.
I believe there's at least 1,200 points in there.
And?
If we lose, you want us to hand over all of our points?
Nah!
We don't want anything like that.
The reason we came here from the battlefield is to take him back.
"Him"?
We're gonna become his number one disciples!
Once we win, we'll be taking our master back!
Our master...
...is your master?
The winners will get all the stuff we've hunted and our master back.
Dorodoro Brothers Older Brother Ichiro
Got it?
Dorodoro Brothers Younger Brother Niro
No, not at all.
Huh?!
Could you not decide these things by yourself?
Sorry, but we'll have to decline this competition.
It would be far more effective for us
to hunt on our own than duke it out with you two.
If you want your master back, you should go speak with him yourselves.
We have to win this, after all.
So that Iruma-sama will praise me.
You runnin' away?
They're scared. They're scared, aren't they?
They're a couple of spoiled, pampered rich boys,
so they must be afraid of competition.
Weaklings!
Elite cowards! Chickens!
You ain't got no muscles! Aren't you embarrassed?
You may be huge, but I guess your heart's no bigger than a water flea.
Do you two actually have horns?
Better not walk in the middle of the road anymore.
Get down on all fours with snot hanging from your noses...
You have to walk along the side with these on your backs.
W a t e r F l e a
Bring it on, you fools!
The boss prey found in the eastern cave,
the Hundred Flapple.
Hundred Flapple
Worth 10,800 points.
The delicious fruit that hangs from
the neck of this boss-class ingredient is exquisite...
Twenty-five!
But, as its name suggests, it won't fall off unless you hit it about a hundred times.
Seventy-nine!
Pretty lively, ain't ya?!
We're quite accustomed to fighting through the night.
Indeed!
Eighty!
It still won't fall off!
Hey!
Beware of the Flappy Kick.
If you attack its fruit, it attacks with this incredibly powerful kick.
Heh. He actually got hit by an attack.
Yeah, he sure did!
Why, you—
Stop reacting!
Come down here, you cowards!
There's no need to rush.
You suck! You simpleton!
Because of Balam-sensei's training, we aren't behind in this battle at all.
You fools! Morons! Simpletons!
Watch carefully, No-Muscles!
But he's quite troublesome.
His reach is unbelievable,
and he's very proficient with that spear.
The elder of the brothers is skilled physically...
And the younger is the brains.
His directions are precise,
and the elder is physically capable of carrying them out.
Next, over here!
Got it.
They're precise, and there's nothing wasted in their teamwork.
Wake up!
Razoro Flame!
Meanwhile...
Hey, Honor Student!
I can't see ahead of us because of your flames! Keep them down!
This one...
And I told you to stand back a little!
We're in a cave! I can only go back so far!
Aw, they're fighting.
Oh, how unsightly.
Silence!
Calm down!
You're getting too upset and attacking too easily. We need to be more careful—
You sure are spineless for an honor student.
Eighty-five!
Hey!
You're the one who's blindly attacking!
I'm allowed to because I'm powerful!
I'm more powerful than you!
I'm telling you to use your head more!
You're one to talk after what you just pulled!
And I pulled it off brilliantly!
You call that brilliant?!
Can't you tell?! It's plain and simple!
They're so stupid.
Try being more specific, then!
I didn't think they'd fall for it this easily.
We survive on reasoning.
Our monstrous bird, Andro Alphus, the peacock of provocation...
Andro Alphus
Peacock of Provocation
Wrath (Switch)
And our bloodline ability: Wrath (Switch).
It lets out a cry that forcefully heightens our opponent's emotions.
Sound reasoning is key in any competition.
Nothing is easier to control than a beast that's lost its senses.
We just continue piling on one insult after another,
without letting them realize they're being affected.
Just one more push...
We'll pick just the right insults to drive them even further into an enraged stupor.
The power of words is essentially the power of magic itself.
I've researched everything I need about you two.
Now...
Time to flip the Switch.
Aw, jeez.
At this rate, not only will you fail at becoming the Demon King,
you're won't even be suited to be his right-hand demon!
Hook, line, and sinker!
Attacking other students is forbidden.
The moment his attack hits us, they'll have to forfeit!
Nii-san!
Got it!
Once he finds out these two fools aren't worthy of being his disciples,
our master will come back to us!
Our Switch will come out victorious!
Wha?!
Hey! What are you doing?!
I almost got burned!
You've clearly singed this part!
Quiet, fool. You should be thanking me.
I returned you to your senses.
You're using some kind of magic...
It's probably some form of mind control.
But you've picked the wrong subjects.
When it comes to ambitions...
I've already been thoroughly scolded over that!
I finally realized something was wrong when I saw this fool's face.
He looked twice as moronic as usual.
Hey! Who are you calling a moron?!
That spell won't work anymore. You'll have to figure something else out.
Hey! Who are you calling a mor—
We'll make you regret making fools of—
Damn it...
Damn it!
They figured us out!
We almost had you! Damn it! Damn it!
This isn't fair, damn it!
Ugh, this is so annoying!
Damn it!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
They're so frustrated, it's actually refreshing.
What?!
Of course we're frustrated!
Our bloodline ability, Switch, is special!
Our master praised us for it!
Your master?
Our master...
helped us like our voices that we hated so much!
Master saved us!
The Peacock of Provocation.
Peacock of Provocation Andro Alphus
The bloodline ability of the Androalphus family.
Switch is a spell that forcibly causes the blood to rush to one's head.
They'd secretly played a part in so many negotiations that
there's now a saying: "No knives or peacocks at the table."
Ever since we were little, we were forced to learn how to negotiate.
But what we aspired to be was heroes on the battlefield.
Legends of the Underworld
We enrolled in Babyls, but we couldn't give up our aspirations,
and we escaped right after we enrolled!
Without any connections or anything to rely on,
we raided the battle up north, which was said to be the worst...
and immediately found ourselves on the brink of death.
The one who took us in despite our pathetic state
was our master.
Are you all right?
Master let us join his squad and trained us!
He taught us martial arts, tactics, and a whole bunch of other things!
Master! Why do you have a mask on?
Hmm...
There are plenty of reasons, but...
Mostly to cover my expressions.
Huh...
Our master's just the coolest!
Right? Right?!
Yeah.
He's an expert in martial arts and magic, too.
I mean... the only thing we're good at is...
Morning, everyone.
...making others mad.
No one's exactly going to praise a bloodline ability like this.
Everyone around us hates us.
They say we're underhanded, that we work in the shadows.
Hey, that's great.
Huh?
Switch, was it?
Being able to take away the enemy's ability to stay
rational during a battle gives you an advantage.
Confusion and diversions...
You might even be able to raise your allies' morale.
D-Diversions?
We've never even thought about that...
Yeah.
Your voices can become a weapon.
Use everything you have to the fullest extent, even if it's underhanded.
That's what it means to be in battle.
But if you still feel like your family name is tying you down,
then I will give you new names.
Ever since that day, we've been the Dorodoro Brothers.
As older brother Ichiro and younger brother Niro,
we used our voices to make a name for ourselves on the battlefield!
We can finally be of use to our master.
We can finally repay him!
Right when we thought that...
You're going to become a teacher?!
There was an urgent request.
B-But you don't wanna go, do you, Master?
Right? Right?!
Yeah!
Well...
Then...
M-Master!
I have to go. I'm very sorry.
W-Wait!
Master!
Ugh, I still remember it clear as day...
Master!
Master...
just looked so sad!
I'll be counting on you guys while I'm gone!
Bye now!
Sergeant Furfur!
After Master left,
we completed all the work he asked us to do immediately
and gathered all the information we could.
This must be it!
It's a list of the special tutors for the Misfit Class at Babyls.
Who's Master in charge of?
Are you kidding? He's our master!
It's gotta be the ones with the highest ranks and the look of fighters.
Must be this Asmodeus Alice and Sabnock Sabro pair!
These are the guys who stole our master!
Yes.
As I'm sure you've noticed,
Team Asmodeus's master was not Sergeant Furfur...
It was Balam.
Which means these brothers...
were in the middle of a massive case of mistaken identity.
Unforgivable!
Give us back our master!
Master never wanted to go!
He never wanted to train some kids at some school!
He actually seemed happy about it.
He told us it was very fun to teach us.
Nuh-uh!
Master always hated all that formal crap!
He wanted to fight freely, mess around with girls, and then fight some more!
Maybe he was a slight sucker for girls and didn't handle his alcohol that well,
but he was the best fighter!
He's a sucker for girls and doesn't handle his alcohol well?
Surprising.
I can't believe Balam-sensei could be that way.
But the fact that he was still popular is what made Master so amazing!
He definitely knew how to lead us in a battle.
He must be really popular and feared at your school, too, huh?
Popular?
There, there, there, there...
Well, he does like to be overly affectionate at times,
so some find that creepy and fear him...
F-Find him creepy?!
Hey, that's rude! That guy's a hero!
I mean, he's strong...
He doesn't have much of a presence, though.
What?
He's the epitome of presence! He's a walking presence!
There, there, there...
And truly, I really wish he wouldn't suddenly give us head pats.
Yes, those can be surprising.
Wha—
W-We never even got head pats!
And you want him to stop?!
Yeah, you two aren't deserving of our master.
Full Volume (Wailing)
We'll crush you with our Full Volume (Wailing)!
Don't think that our voices...
only work on demons!
The magical beast's lost its mind!
This is how we learned to fight on the battlefield!
We'll show you that the only ones going to school
are grunt demons!
Did you...
just insult Iruma-sama?
How dare you?
Hey, I think you've yelped quite enough.
Very well.
I'll take it upon myself to lose any sense of reason.
Hey! Stop that!
By using the Balam-style surefire way of winning a fight...
Evil Cycle Unleashed!
Black smoke rises up from my feet...
and consumes me...
Evil cycles are essentially a demon's instinct.
A stress cycle during which their desire to do evil deeds skyrockets.
Their mana increases, but their sense of reason disappears.
There were plenty of demons going through their evil cycles on the battlefield,
so I thought we were pretty used to seeing this.
Which is exactly why this makes no sense!
How are you able...
to dance around so elegantly...
and completely go berserk?
Vino! Vino! Vino!
Hey, what kind of insane evil cycle is that?
I've never seen anything like it!
And how did he deliberately trigger his evil cycle?
That fool...
He let himself be consumed.
This is the medicine that'll activate your evil cycle,
and this is the inhibitor.
I know they look really suspicious!
But I definitely supervised their production!
They're extremely rare!
Uh-huh...
What I'm about to show you is a trump card you can use in battle.
It's really special!
I'm going to have you two repeatedly go through evil cycles and regular cycles.
Then, in an emergency, you'll be able to willingly unleash your evil cycle.
The main trigger that sets off an evil cycle is stress.
When you forcefully unleash that, the stress doubles.
They also end up using a lot of mana,
but this allows them to fight full-throttle.
Their form resembles how demons originally were...
The demon Asmodeus is the demon of virtue and destruction.
The apple!
So fast! Crap!
But if his attacks hit us, he'll be disqualified!
At the same time, that amount of power... will kill us.
Knock, knock...
Knock...
Knock.
Those flames are bad news!
Stop! Can't you hear us?!
Knock... knock...
Nii-chan!
Codeword?
Yes.
Let's set a codeword to bring you back from your evil cycle.
We'll train your bodies so that you can snap out of it when you hear that word.
And that's exactly why you always need two demons.
Once your partner is consumed,
you need to use the codeword to bring him back...
by using a word that'll powerfully resonate in his heart.
Iruma!
Iruma?
Iruma...
What is your ambition?
To serve as Iruma-sama's weapon, of course!
Good!
I-I...
You went pretty wild.
I see.
I somehow feel quite refreshed.
That's what you say after all that?!
I'll be taking more of the points
as an annoyance fee!
What?! That's absurd!
I'm the one who hunted it!
And while you stood there looking like a fool!
Wh-What's with those two?
Look who's talking! You knock-knock jerk!
What's that supposed to mean?!
Reflect on what you've done, damn you!
I don't remember it!
Now I'm angry! I'll be taking all the points!
Don't be absurd! Are you stupid and greedy?!
I've never seen anything like that on the battlefield...
Who do you think brought you back to your senses?!
No one asked for your help! I could've done that on my own!
Su... ki... ma...
Su
Ki
Ma
Su-ki-ma.
Iruma!
Su-ki-ma!
Master Balam's medicine!
Su-ki-ma...
Iruma!
Su-ki-ma!
Master Balam's medicine!
Su-ki-ma...
Iruma!
Su-ki-ma!
Master Balam's medicine!
Su-ki-ma...
Iru—
Next Episode Preview
Asmodeus Alice-kun and Sabnock Sabro-kun...
I'm relieved that my students are doing a good job.
I'm glad the codeword to return him from his evil cycle, "Iruma," worked.
I was just a little nervous that it might not work.
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"The Iruma I Know."
The Iruma-kun I know is a hard worker, cares for his classmates,
and is a human with a strong will.
