| 1 | "Iruma-kun from Demon School" Transliteration: "Akuma gakkō no Iruma-kun" (Japanese: 悪魔学校の入間くん) | October 5, 2019 | |||
|
Iruma Suzuki, a fourteen year old Japanese boy incapable of refusing polite requests, works hard to support his scumbag parents. He is suddenly kidnapped to the Netherworld by the demon Sullivan after Iruma’s parents sold his soul. Sullivan wishes to adopt Iruma as his beloved grandson, since his friends always boast about their grandsons and he is jealous. Iruma reluctantly agrees and is enrolled in the Demon School, Babyls, where he must keep his human identity secret or risk being eaten by his classmates. Iruma attends the opening ceremony and learns Sullivan is the school's director. First Year Representative Asmodeus Alice tries to give his speech but Sullivan makes Iruma do it instead. Iruma reads a speech provided by Sullivan, terrifying and impressing the students as the speech was actually a dangerous spell to prevent Iruma falling or embarrassing himself. Asmodeus challenges Iruma to a duel for insulting him but Iruma, having been raised by his scumbag parents who constantly put him in dangerous situations, has developed an almost superhuman ability to dodge attacks. The other students assume Iruma refuses to fight back because he considers Asmodeus weak. When a girl in the audience is almost hurt, Iruma saves her, but the effects of Sullivan's spell prevents him falling forwards and he accidentally knocks Asmodeus unconscious by throwing him backwards in a German Suplex. The story spreads throughout the school, making Iruma famous. Iruma is shocked when Asmodeus happily declares himself Iruma's servant. Sullivan is delighted Iruma seems to have a bright future in the Netherworld. | |||||

|
During breakfast with Sullivan, Iruma demonstrates his ability to consume truly shocking amounts of food. He tries to refuse to attend demon school but decides to go when Sullivan reveals he has bought even more thoughtful gifts for him. Asmodeus informs Iruma they must summon their magical familiars and the strength of the familiar will determine their demonic rank and which class they are placed in. Their advisor, Naberius Kalego, immediately dislikes Iruma for being Sullivan’s grandson. To summon a familiar the students perform a ceremony using their blood on summoning parchments marked with Naberius' demonic seal to prevent cheating. Asmodeus summons a fire breathing Gorgon snake. Iruma tries a summoning but as he has no demonic power in his blood, the familiar summoning accidentally becomes a demon summoning using the power of Naberius' demonic seal, causing Naberius to be summoned as Iruma's familiar in the embarrassing form of a small, cute, fluffy owl with bat wings and horns. Despite it being an accident, the other students assume Iruma must be even more powerful than Naberius to be able to bind him as a familiar, thus increasing Iruma's fame even more. Sullivan happily informs them familiar summoning contracts are unbreakable and last an entire year. Naberius becomes bedridden from shock and Iruma's rank is left undetermined. Iruma meets a hyperactive student named Valac Clara whom Asmodeus warns Iruma not to speak to. | |||||

Asmodeus explains Clara is a weirdo who people try to avoid. Clara becomes attached to Iruma who is compelled to play with her after she says "please". Clara reveals she possesses magical pockets which can copy any object she sees. Iruma learns other students have been manipulating Clara into creating free food for them. Clara sadly reveals she has gotten used to having to bribe people to be her friends. When she tries to bribe Iruma he refuses, upsetting her, until Iruma explains he wants to be her friend without bribes. This makes Clara so happy that when the other students try manipulating her again, she throws a drinks machine at them before using Asmodeus as a target for paint dodge ball. Iruma is unsure if Asmodeus and Clara are his friends since he never had friends before. Iruma learns a student's rank controls what food they can order. Clara gets in trouble with the snack stall owner who considers her replicating pockets a form of shoplifting. Naberius arrives to settle the matter only for Clara to trick Iruma into summoning Naberius, turning him back into an owl. Iruma, Clara, and Asmodeus flee while the stall owner traps Naberius and demands payment for the shoplifted items. Iruma asks Asmodeus and Clara if they are his friends but is surprised to learn demons have no concept of "friends", but they agree to be friends anyway. Sullivan holds a faculty meeting where it is decided Iruma, Clara, and Asmodeus will all be placed in the Misfit Class for Problem Children. | |||||
| 4 | "The Misfit Class" Transliteration: "Abunōmaru Kurasu" (Japanese: 問題児クラス) | October 26, 2019 | |||
|
Sullivan reveals to Iruma he put him in a class of troublemakers to help him not stand out, along with Asmodeus and Clara so he wouldn't be alone. Iruma immediately runs afoul of booby traps set by his new classmates who wagered on whether he would survive. Iruma meets Sabnock Sabro, a tall muscular delinquent who plans on becoming the next Demon King. Iruma learns there are ten demonic ranks, with Yodh, or 10th Rank, being strongest, and the Demon King is always chosen from among the Yodh. Sabnock admits he was placed in the Misfit Class for trying to fight a teacher. Naberius arrives and sets them a task to determine their ranks, a race through a dangerous valley, though Naberius warns them to avoid the guardian beast that is in a particularly foul mood. Most students opt to fly, except for Iruma who has no demon wings and simply falls off the cliff when pushed by an impatient Naberius. Sabnock flies straight for the guardian, hoping to defeat it and get a high rank. Iruma is carried off by demonic crows that accidentally drop him in the guardian's nest with its baby, who is injured. Iruma tries to help the baby and discovers his human blood can heal demon's injuries instantly. The grateful baby decides to fly Iruma to the flag as a thank you. Elsewhere, Sabnock admits he made a mistake trying to defeat the guardian as it easily overpowers him. | |||||
| 5 | "The One Who Wants to Be Demon King" Transliteration: "Maō wo mezasu mono" (Japanese: 魔王を目指す者) | November 2, 2019 | |||
|
Sabnock reveals he wants to become Demon King to prove himself better than his pacifist older brother. Iruma suddenly lands in front of him, pacifying the guardian by showing its child is healed. Sabnock assumes Iruma is somehow powerful enough not to be afraid of the guardian. At the finish line, Asmodeus places first and Clara, riding on Asmodeus' shoulders, comes second. Iruma and Sabnock end up in last despite riding on the guardian's back. Naberius explains a Rank Owl will provide everyone with rank badges. Sabnock declares Iruma his rival. Asmodeus earns Dalet, 4th Rank, Clara earns Gimel, 3rd Rank and Sabnock earns Bet, 2nd Rank. Iruma, instead of a badge, receives a golden ring. A startled Sabnock recalls a prophecy, that the next Demon King will make other demons his servants, heal injuries with his blood, have been born a foreigner, and wear Solomon's Ring. Iruma freaks out when a black flame demon appears from the ring and starts draining power from his classmates. Naberius senses the ring threatening him and moves to sever Iruma's entire arm but is stopped by Sullivan who scolds him. Sullivan explains the ring is actually the Gluttonous Feeder Ring that eats magic power, then pacifies it by feeding it some of his power. Iruma's rank is undetermined and by default receives the lowest rank, Alef. Meanwhile, his taming of the guardian and his ring attacking his classmates increases his fame yet again. | |||||
| 6 | "Ameri's Theory" Transliteration: "Ameri no Kasetsu" (Japanese: アメリの仮説) | November 9, 2019 | |||
|
Iruma's fame draws the attention of the student council. In Botany Class, the students learn to use magic to grow demonic plants. Sabnock produces a feral flower that eats everything it sees, Asmodeus an elegant flower with flaming petals, and Clara a mutated flower beyond rational description. Having no magic, Iruma says the spell as a joke while thinking of his home in Japan. Sullivan's magic suddenly bursts from his ring, just as Sullivan calls Iruma to explain that the ring lets Iruma use magic, but Sullivan had forgotten to set a limit on its output. Iruma's overpowered seed explodes into a giant cherry blossom tree, destroying the greenhouse. Student council president, Azazel Ameri, recognizes the tree as a human plant and suspects Iruma is human. Ameri privately reveals most demons believe humans do not exist, but her family secretly owns a library of sacred relics, i.e. Japanese manga, and is obsessed with the First Love Memories series, but as she cannot read Japanese has mistakenly concluded it is a manual of human love spells. Iruma tries to clean up the falling cherry blossoms, despite Clara making more mess. As he leaves Iruma turns a corner and accidentally knocks Ameri over. Recognizing the similarity to a romantic scene from First Love Memories, Ameri believes Iruma is trying to make her fall in love with him using human magic and concludes he must be human. | |||||

Iruma and Ameri end up frozen, unsure how to react. Iruma assumes Ameri is angry while Ameri assumes she is in a magical love duel. Ameri drops First Love Memories which Iruma recognises as a manga he helped illustrate to earn money. Ameri realises he can read Japanese and, rather than reveal he is human, drags him to her office and asks him to read the story out loud for her. After Iruma finishes, an embarrassed Ameri puts her number in his phone so she can ask him to read for her again. Iruma can't decide if he prefers his old life or his new life. Sullivan's servant, Opera, informs him it may be possible to visit the human world if he becomes a high ranking demon. Iruma is summoned by Ameri, making Asmodeus and Clara suspicious. Ameri decides, based on First Love Memories, that spending time with Iruma counts as a date. Asmodeus and Clara buy Detection Warding Glasses to hide while following Iruma. Asmodeus assumes Iruma is hatching a plan to take over the student council while Clara assumes they are excluding her from a new game. After learning about ambition from First Love Memories and listening to Ameri's plans for the future, Iruma realizes his pushover personality had prevented him from having any ambition of his own. | |||||
| 8 | "Head Over Heels for Clara" Transliteration: "Kurara ni meromero" (Japanese: クララにメロメロ) | November 23, 2019 | |||
|
Asmodeus tries to stop Clara ruining Iruma's plans of taking over the school. Iruma struggles to come up with a dream so Ameri urges him to raise his rank as a temporary goal. Clara breaks into the room to take Iruma back, assuming Ameri was trying to steal him. As time passes and Iruma spends more time with Ameri, Clara becomes increasingly jealous, so Sabnock suggests she lure Iruma with her feminine wiles. As Clara has no feminine wiles, she joins the Seduction Class to learn sexiness, but the succubus teacher, Raim, determines she has only 2% sexiness, making her impossibly innocent. Clara tries to use seduction methods on Iruma but he assumes she is playing games. Clara becomes depressed but returns to normal after her mother kisses her forehead. The next day, Clara tries to use a kiss attack, but Iruma avoids it with his superhuman dodging skill, while Clara ends up receiving detention from Naberius. Clara admits she has zero sex appeal and resigns herself to losing Iruma, until Iruma innocently reveals he does think of her as a girl, restoring her confidence enough she declares she will make Iruma fall for her. Iruma feels an unusual thump in his heart as she pulls him along holding his hand. Raim happily observes that Clara's sexiness has risen to 10%. Iruma decides to get serious about raising his rank from Alef, 1st, to Bet, 2nd. | |||||

|
Iruma asks Asmodeus to help him climb the ranks and Asmodeus overreacts and begins planning to make Iruma a Yodh, 10th rank, and rule the school, though Iruma assures him he would be content with making it to Bet. Asmodeus agrees, assuming Iruma has a complicated reason for becoming a Bet, and explains the best way is to score well on an upcoming Rank Promotion Exam based on Execution Cannonball, a dangerous competition similar to human dodge ball. Iruma assumes he will do well with his ability to avoid danger until he realises the other students are allowed to use their demonic powers. He asks Sullivan for training and learns he can use his ring to use magic during the exam, but Iruma decides he wants to compete with his own power and not magic borrowed from Sullivan. Sullivan strengthens Iruma's hands to give him a fair chance then leaves the physical training to Opera. Iruma struggles to catch the ball as his instinct is still to dodge, but he refuses to give up and even gets help from Asmodeus and Clara. After a week, he still cannot catch the ball but Opera assures Sullivan Iruma is definitely having fun. Eventually, Iruma manages to catch the ball and Opera informs Sullivan Iruma is ready to take the exam. | |||||

The day of the exam arrives. Naberius explains their ranks will be increased based on the opponents they defeat, but only if they are on the winning team. Asmodeus is assigned to a different team from Iruma but decides to help him. The exam is instant chaos as Iruma's classmates use their powers while Clara floods the court with multiple balls. Iruma manages to catch the real ball, only to realise he never learned how to throw it. Sabnock, irritated that Asmodeus appears to be daydreaming, tries to strike him but Asmodeus strikes Sabnock out instead. Asmodeus continues to strike players out without thinking, until only he and Iruma remain. Asmodeus is put in a tight spot, if he lets Iruma win he would be helping Iruma gain a rank but also undermine all his hard work. After a moment of hesitation, he decides to throw with his whole power. Ameri arrives to watch the exam for herself. Iruma overcomes his fear and catches the powerful throw, but as he cannot stop it he instead spins in a circle to redirect the balls momentum back at Asmodeus who is struck out by his own power. Naberius, impressed by Iruma's tactic, promotes his rank to Bet, 2nd. Ameri congratulates Iruma on finally gaining an ambition. Iruma thanks Opera for all his training, upsetting an emotional Sullivan who realises he did very little to help Iruma at all. | |||||

A new teacher, Balse Robin, begins teaching the Misfit Class about the importance of bonding with one's familiar. Asmodeus and Sabnock summon their Gorgon snake and Kelbie horse and Clara summons her Falfal, a rare familiar whose actions are mysterious. Iruma tries to refuse, until Balse says "please", so Iruma summons a furious Naberius. Balse reminds Iruma he needs to control his familiar, according to the rules written by Naberius. Naberius decides to make Iruma the best summoner in class, even though it involves playing embarrassing games to promote trust. Iruma sincerely apologises so Naberius asks why Iruma didn't summon him to fight the valley guardian. Iruma explains it was so neither Naberius nor the guardian would get hurt. Asmodeus and Sabnock get in a fight so Naberius defeats their familiars and angrily informs the students that familiars are powerful, violent monsters only kept in check by their contracts. The best summoners should trust their familiars while also fearing them, as Iruma does. Naberius also forces Balse to rethink his teaching style. Iruma learns about the Battlers, groups of students with similar interests who form groups to help each other raise their ranks, like school clubs. Iruma decides to join one of the Battlers to find a new goal and possibly raise his rank again. Asmodeus tries to prepare Iruma as the senior Battlers begin their Rookie Hunt, an insanely terrifying stampede by older students to recruit first year students into their groups. | |||||
| 12 | "The Rookie Hunt" Transliteration: "Rūkī Hanto!!" (Japanese: 1年生争奪戦！！) | December 21, 2019 | |||

As the hunt begins most seniors try to recruit Asmodeus. The hunt is so brutal the first years are put in actual physical danger. Ameri and the student council monitor most of the mayhem while Iruma realizes that Ameri is actually the student council president. Ameri surprises everybody by inviting Iruma to join the council's Battler. Naberius announces a three-day trial period where students can try numerous Battlers before deciding which to join permanently. Clara shows repeated interest in Raim's Succubus Battler. Iruma struggles to decide as his fame means he is invited to join every Battler. His ring suddenly activates and drags him through the air, dropping him on Ami Kirio, the recruiter for the Magical Apparatus Battler, whose necklace is made from the same metal as the ring. Iruma visits several Battlers, most of which are dangerous in some way and unsuitable. Sullivan alters Iruma's ring so he can choose the level of magic he wants to use, Devil, Demon, or Ifrit, and a level for emergencies only, Pandoroola. After testing the ring at the Execution Cannonball Battler, Ameri texts Iruma, reminding him to visit the council Battler before the trial period is over. Iruma is caught up in an explosion caused by one of Kirio's apparatus. | |||||

|
The council members are confused over Ameri's sudden enthusiasm for Battler recruitment. Iruma texts her that he won't be able to visit the council after Kirio's explosion, but Ameri believes finding out she is the council president has scared him away. Kirio explains that he researches and creates magic items, but his magic power is so weak he cannot use the items he creates. His goal is to allow weaker demons to stand up to the higher level demons that mistreat them. Iruma decides to join his Battler and he is followed by Clara and Asmodeus. Iruma does later visit the student council, to Ameri's delight, at least until Iruma explains he joined another Battler. With the trial period over, the school prepares for the Battler Party for Battlers to welcome their new recruits and meet their parents. Sullivan must attend the Thirteen's Dinner, a meeting of the Netherworld's thirteen greatest demons, all of whom are concerned the netherworld is falling to chaos without a Demon King, and believe it is time to raise either Sullivan, Levi, or Belial to the throne. Levi and Belial agree Sullivan should take the throne, but Sullivan refuses as he would have less time to spend with Iruma. Henri, one of the thirteen and Ameri's father, is forced to arrest Sullivan after finding evidence Sullivan illegally visited the human world. | |||||
| 14 | "The Battler's Presentation" Transliteration: "Batora no Ohirome" (Japanese: 師団のお披露目) | January 4, 2020 | |||
|
Sullivan is questioned by Demon Border Control. Most of the first years panic at the thought of their parents visiting the school. Sullivan appoints Naberius as temporary school director while the rest of the staff wonders what Sullivan did to get arrested. Kirio reveals that all Battlers give presentations competing for prizes, maybe even a rise in rank, but the Magical Apparatus Battler has such a small budget they normally stand no chance, until Iruma is inspired to create fireworks. As the testing requires darkness, Kirio decides they must stay at school overnight. While trying to create gunpowder, Kirio reveals he has an ability to create magical barriers, the only reason he survives so many explosions. Iruma asks Ameri to loan him one of her manga so Kirio can see what a firework should look like, but she refuses, at least until she realises she would get to see real fireworks. After they successfully create fireworks, they exhaust themselves with a pillow fight, utilizing Iruma's dodge ability and Kirio's barriers. Kirio is later contacted by a powerful demon named Baal that can use lightning magic, revealing he is the reason Sullivan has been arrested and he has been plotting with Kirio to create a machine to destroy the school. | |||||

It is announced the Battler Party will last three days and the first place prize will be an increase in rank for the Battler members and an increase of two ranks for the Battler president. Kirio continues working on his machine, which flashbacks show he was only able to complete due to Iruma's help, and that his powerful demon friend plans to use his machine to kill as many students as possible. As Kirio works in his hidden workshop, he is suddenly interrupted by Iruma, who had been dragged through the air by his ring searching for Kirio's necklace. Kirio decides to reveal to Iruma that the secret workshop is hidden on the school roof behind one way, soundproof glass, and that his plan to help the weak stand up to the strong includes the school bell, which will be rung to begin the Party. Still not understanding Kirio's meaning, Iruma urges him to try and win first prize with their fireworks to prove they don't need to be strong to win. Kirio appears happy he and Iruma are so alike. With the preparations over, the Battler Party can finally begin, to Kirio's delight. | |||||
| 16 | "Party Eve" Transliteration: "Zenyasai" (Japanese: 前夜祭) | January 18, 2020 | |||
|
The Party Eve begins, a festival the night before the main competitions start. As fireworks require darkness, Iruma and the others decide to scout their competition. Iruma knocks the Yakisoba Battler out of the competition by devouring their famous Ogre sized serving, leaving them with no ingredients. Iruma is warned by his classmates that his main competitors are the New Magic Battler, who will attempt to conjure water from a stone, the Game Battler, with their Virtual Sorcery Hat to allow people to experience virtual reality adventures, as well as the Underwater Circus, and the Magic Beast Battles. Asmodeus reveals they will set off their main firework as the school bell rings to signal the start of the competition. Clara accidentally lights the fuse, but when it misfires they realise their biggest firework is missing. Kirio takes the stolen firework to his workshop. Meanwhile, Ameri's father possesses evidence of Sullivan kidnapping Iruma, given to him by Baal, the powerful demon helping Kirio. As the sun sets, Kirio destroys his necklace, covering the entire school with multiple barriers preventing people from being able to move around. Iruma finds himself separated from Asmodeus and Clara by a barrier while Kirio begins his plan. | |||||

Sullivan senses the barriers appearing. Iruma realises the barriers are Kirio's. Naberius finds the barriers are self-repairing, meaning they could only have been cast by a Tet, 9th Rank, and can likely only be fully destroyed by a Yodh, 10th Rank like Sullivan, meaning his arrest was arranged beforehand. Naberius manages to move by breaking barriers and moving through before they can repair and has another teacher announce to the students that the barriers are a surprise maze event by the New Magic and Game Battlers. Naberius begins researching all demons with barrier creation abilities. When most of the students make it to the courtyard easily, Naberius worries they were manipulated into going to the courtyard. Kirio loads the firework into his School Destroyer machine, but suddenly realises Iruma is heading to the lab, somehow finding his way toward Kirio even though he destroyed his necklace. A flashback reveals Asmodeus deduced Kirio must have been planning his attack for years and is now using a map of the school and one of Kirio's magical apparatus, copied by Clara, to guide Iruma through the barriers. Naberius identifies Kirio as the likely suspect and orders the teachers to capture him. Part of the school collapses and Ameri saves a student from being killed. Iruma finally reaches the lab. | |||||

Iruma reaches the workshop where Kirio reveals he plans to use the firework to destroy the school. Kirio reveals the Ami family are famous for their barriers and magical strength, but when he was born with weak magic, he was sent to the Garden of Delinquents for problem children. Despite being bullied he made a friend, but when bullies stole her earring and threw it in a river, Kirio tried to catch it with a barrier but failed, devastating her. That was when Kirio realised he perversely enjoyed watching people's despair. Baal, who believed demons are too nice compared to their society's evil past, helped Kirio plan to destroy Babyls as a symbol of their weakened society while Kirio plans on enjoying Iruma's despair when Clara and Asmodeus die. However, when Iruma seems unconcerned and calmly removes the firework, Kirio is confused. Iruma explains that thanks to his childhood, he almost never feels despair anymore. Kirio realises he and Iruma are not alike at all. Iruma unlocks his rings Ifrit mode to throw the firework into the sky, but it hits the barrier. With the explosion seconds away Iruma breaks a promise he made to Sullivan and unlocks the ring's Pandoroola mode, obliterating the barrier and exploding the firework in the sky where it delights all the watching students. With Iruma passed out, Kirio saves him from falling off the roof, and despite raging that his plan is ruined, he admits defeat and that Iruma is a better demon than he is. | |||||

It is revealed that as Iruma was talking with Kirio, Balse Robin used archery magic to shoot a warning note to Sullivan. Sullivan then broke out of prison and saw Iruma use Pandoroola to destroy the barrier, forcing Sullivan to save the school from falling debris. The teachers apprehend Kirio, though he does remind Iruma to beware of other demons wanting an evil society. He is taken by Demon Border Control to be interrogated. Sullivan shows Iruma that his firework was immensely popular with the students, though he is scolded by Ameri who wanted to watch the firework together. Iruma shares credit for the firework with Asmodeus, Clara, and Kirio. As the Battler Party starts, the students vote for their favourite Battlers just as their parents turn up for the party. Iruma prepares the remaining fireworks before meeting 4 of Clara's 5 siblings and her mother, who are all as eccentric as she is. Asmodeus is caught by his embarrassing mother, Amuryllis, a Demon Lord of Seduction, who showers Asmodeus with love and affection. Sullivan and Opera arrive to attend the festival with Iruma, causing general chaos as they do. As the sun sets, they set off the fireworks and Iruma declares his new family to be his pride and joy before insisting on posing for a photograph with Sullivan and Opera.

The Closing Spectacular begins with the handing out of prizes. The Succubus Battler receives an upgraded club room, the New Magic Battler a year's supply of black holy water, while the grand prize of rank increases is given to the Broadcast Battler. Naberius announces that, for unspecified reasons, an extra award has been created, the prize for which is one member of the Battler will go up by one rank. The winners are announced to be the Magical Apparatus Battler, despite being disqualified due to Kirio's schemes, with Iruma getting the rank increase to Gimel, 3rd rank. Iruma worries he has spent too much time standing out instead of hiding. Ameri's father, Henri, takes an interest in Iruma. Ameri summons Iruma to read manga but rushes out after seeing her father. Henri confronts Iruma, not knowing why Sullivan is so attached to him. Henri tells Iruma he met a human once before and legally returned them to the human world. He begins to ask if Iruma wants to go home, but is interrupted by Ameri, who recounts all Iruma's recent achievements and claims he is an outstanding demon. Suspicious, Henri asks how Ameri knows Iruma and she awkwardly blurts out they spend time alone talking about love, shocking Henri into semi-consciousness. Asmodeus and Clara tell Iruma they know something happened with Kirio, but they are happy to wait for Iruma to tell them. Iruma decides he does not want to return to the human world and must work harder at hiding his human identity. | |||||

|
Iruma's rank increase gets more newspaper coverage than Kuromu, a dem-dol. Asmodeus explains dem-dols are vital as teenage demons go through an "evil cycle" of destructive behaviour, so they are distracted by popular entertainment which converts their impulses into healthy excitement. Kuromu is revealed to be Crocell Keroli, a quiet girl from the misfit class who is embarrassed by her cute idol persona.

However, the council finds themselves struggling to keep up with the workload Ameri can no longer handle, as well as unable to keep up appearances due to current her cutesy persona. They are then surprised by the sudden arrival of the one the council believes to be responsible for Ameri's predicament, the flamboyant president of the Disciplinary Battler, Ronove Romiere.

Kalego is enraged at the suggestion so Iruma bets he can get the consent of every faculty member within three days, in which case Kalego will have to give them the room. Most of the Misfits claim they don’t actually care about the room, they only care about what is fun and best serves themselves, which Iruma points out is how real demons should be, egotistical, selfish, and evil, which is exactly why the Misfits deserve the King's Classroom the most. Inspired, the whole class agrees to help win the room.

Ameri forces Eligoth to join the Magical Apparatus Battler as keeping an eye on him has become too time consuming for the council. Alicred is also worried, since his intelligence is based on Iruma's rank, so if Iruma loses a rank Alicred will revert to a mindless black flame demon. Asmodeus quizzes Iruma on the exam's five subjects and Iruma gets a perfect score on Mythical Zoology as every question is about humans and human society.

Sullivan explains about the Thirteen Crowns, the leaders of the Netherworld like Sullivan. To become Demon King requires the support of all thirteen, but it is a heavy responsibility as the Demon King is the Netherworld itself and his power over it is absolute and can remake it any way they see fit, explaining current Netherworld society is simply the way Derkila wished it to be. Sullivan even remarks he would be interested to see what would happen if Iruma became Demon King, something Iruma seems quite concerned about, especially later after reading the prophecy scroll. Alicred summons himself and berates Iruma for forcing him to swallow all Beast's magic and then largely ignoring him ever since while enjoying himself. As the new term begins Kalego informs the Misfits unless they all achieve Daleth, 4th Rank, they will lose their right to use the Royal Classroom. | |||||||||

To help the Misfits achieve Daleth, Kalego has invited personal tutors for them. Jazz and Alocer are given fire demon Sergeant Furfur, who promises to make them the craftiest demons. Goemon and Picero have water demon Vepar, who promises to train them to have the strongest bloodline abilities. Elizabetta and Clara have Raim, who promises to make them the most charming demonesses. Crocell and Kamui have gentleman Mr. Hat, who promises to make them the greatest users of summoning magic. Sabnock and Asmodeus are given Balam, who promises to make them the strongest warriors. Iruma and Lead are given Balse, who only promises to train their fighting spirits. Ameri reminisces about her date with Iruma but is upset she did not manage to see him before school started. She is further disappointed when, due to his lessons with Balse, Iruma is forced to cancel their reading of First Love Memories, but she accepts it is necessary. Balse explains that while he planned their lessons, they will actually be taught by his cousin, Barbatos Bachiko, who unlike Balse is loud, violent, and cruel, and only bothering to teach them since Sullivan asked her personally. She immediately begins training by hurling abuse at them, forcing them to obey her every childish demand, and even forcing them to wear dresses for her amusement. | |||||||||

Lead decides to ask Balse to tutor him, but Iruma stays with Barbatos. She reveals to Iruma no one else has put up with her abuse this long before and his stubborn instinct to please other people makes tutoring him pointless. Iruma decides to try harder to become Barbatos' ideal errand boy. Later, the Misfits discuss their hellish training. Goemon and Picero reveal Vepar submerges them so they almost drown. Balse forces Lead to play video games without sleep to increase concentration. Asmodeus and Sabnock battle Balam constantly and have many injuries. Jazz and Alocer are missing after Furfur took them somewhere mysterious. Clara and Elizabetta strike sexy poses for hours, and Crocell and Kamui are forced into cages with their summoned creatures. Sullivan visits Barbatos to ask about Iruma's progress and it turns out Barbatos was having so much fun abusing Iruma she forgot to start his actual training. She reveals to Iruma her weapon, a bow that shoots 100 arrows with perfect accuracy. Most demons have too short an attention span to learn but she is confident Iruma can learn to shoot and even advance beyond Daleth. Seeing Iruma is eager to learn, she takes him to create his own weapon at the Magical Apparatus Battler, unaware Iruma is the battler's de facto president after Kirio's departure. | |||||||||

Barbatos shows Iruma her bloodline ability lets her create bows from any material, but Iruma will need a power core for the spell. Iruma selects a feather from his friend, the valley Guardian Beast. Barbatos warns him the next exam, the Harvest Festival, is a battle for survival, and unless he can create a bow tailored to his desires, he will fail. Barbatos recalls her heartache over her past students who failed or quit, and doubts Iruma will succeed as he seems to have no desires at all. Goemon and Picero evolve their bloodline abilities to escape Vepar's water cage. Crocell and Kamui form better relationships with their creatures and become stronger Summoners. Lead begins beating Balse at games, showing his improved concentration. Sabnock and Asmodeus learn to cooperate and strike Balam. Elizabetta masters sexy posing, but Clara masters sexiness through purity, the rarest sexiness. Iruma thinks hard about his desired bow, until Alicred points out thinking hard is the problem; desires are instinctive and above all, selfish. Thus, he demands Iruma's most selfish wish, which Iruma reveals is to heroically reach Daleth. Iruma successfully creates a winged demonic bow so perfect it fills Barbatos heart with hope again. With every Misfit having proven their potential for Daleth, the tutors move them on to the next stage of training; more weeks of hellish suffering. | |||||||||

|
After these several weeks, Barbatos decides Iruma is ready, but as his bow only has two arrows she insists he choose the right moments to use them. The Harvest Festival arrives; a hunt to gather food ingredients from a dangerous forest. Theft and betrayal is encouraged since students are graded as individuals, not as teams, but physical fighting is forbidden. Winners are said to have great futures, with past winners including Ameri, her father Henri, and Balam. The Misfits' weeks of hellish training have left them beaten up and yet emanating terrifyingly demonic auras. Asmodeus is gleeful at seeing Iruma again while Clara has concealed herself inside a fluffy animal suit and says nothing to anyone. The festival time limit is 6666 minutes; roughly 4.5 days, and ingredients can be submitted to referees to earn points at any time. Inside the forest, most students gather the easy ingredients for 10 points each. Asmodeus and Sabnock plan to hunt boss class monsters worth 3000 points each and share the points. However, there is also a legendary ingredient, the Legend Leaf, worth 100,000 points no one has ever found. Their plotting is interrupted by the Dorodoro brothers, Ichiro and Niro, skilled warriors forced to repeat their first year for being notorious rule breakers, who offer to compete for the boss monsters. | |||||||||

Ichiro and Niro declare if they win they will retrieve their Master Sabnock and Asmodeus stole from them. Crocell and Kamui use their improved summoning to make monsters gather ingredients for them. Allocer uses his intelligence to identify only the most valuable ingredients and teams up with Jazz to con other students out of their points. It is revealed during their training Furfur actually ran up a huge debt to the Demon Mafia then sold Jazz and Allocer to them as payment. They were forced to work in a casino, surviving by learning to anticipate peoples' intentions and then manipulate them. Every day Furfur would challenge them to a coin toss for their freedom and always won with Jazz certain he was cheating but never seeing how. After three weeks they realised the point wasn’t to identify how Furfur was cheating, it was to win by cheating him back. They won the next coin toss with a dirty trick, but Furfur had anticipated their cheating and somehow still beat them, but offered them a chance to play another game with him if they win the Harvest Festival. Meanwhile, Sullivan watches with some concern as many students plan to ambush Iruma, and yet Iruma appears to calmly wait for them to try. | |||||||||

The audience are confused to see Iruma sat eating his gathered ingredients with Lead. Balam explains to the audience Iruma is actually doing the right thing; the Festival lasts four days and most demons will exhaust themselves exchanging ingredients for points and then lose when they pass out from hunger, so by eating first then gathering points later, Iruma may actually win. Made a survival expert by his harsh childhood, Iruma teaches Lead how to thrive in adversity. The students planning to ambush Iruma leave since he has left no ingredients for them to steal. Lead finds he is actually enjoying himself but laments the lack of girls to talk to, referencing the fun they had when they attended a mixer with Sabnock, Jazz, and girls from other classes. Elizabetta and Clara in her costume abruptly appear. Clara drags Iruma away while Elizabetta charms Lead out of his secret ingredient stash without even resorting to her new sexy powers. It is revealed during her training Elizabetta wished for the skills to find a man to truly love. Once alone, Clara drags a surprised Iruma inside her costume, trapping them both inside, and declares Iruma as successfully captured. | |||||||||

Clara reveals her magical pockets have evolved into a dimensional space called Toy Box, filled with every toy and game imaginable. Iruma childishly can't resist and they play games for hours. Privately, Clara reveals she plans to finally make Iruma fall in love with her. It is also revealed Toy Box is designed to drain the "victim's" magic to function, but Clara finds her magic is draining faster than Iruma’s, meaning she is already in love with him. She confesses she loves him, but Elizabetta suddenly opens the costume, ending the spell and revealing it is already night. Iruma wonders what might have happened had Elizabetta not interrupted. As Clara and Elizabetta depart with their stolen ingredients, Iruma and Lead develop a new respect for the power of female demons. As night falls, many exhausted students find themselves becoming victims of the more dangerous ingredients and quit the competition in a panic. Many students even require referees to rescue them as the ingredients' various magical abilities leave them incapacitated. One monster ingredient chases several girls into a castle and wake up Picero, who had been sleeping inside. Without his customary sleep mask the girls see his beautiful face and fall instantly in love. | |||||||||

Picero explains he used his ability, My Area, to extend his bed into a whole castle, but is extremely angry Goemon is letting people inside. The girls realise Goemon and Picero are on the edge of a serious fight. More students try to enter so Picero fights with Goemon over letting them in. Goemon rescues them anyway so Picero, feeling guilty, lets them in and the girls relax with the fight over. However, Picero starts another argument when he sees Goemon has rescued dozens of people. The tutors hold a drinking party with Sullivan, Opera, and Barbatos. Mr. Hat is proud Crocell and Kamui have earned 14,200 points through monster taming. Raim is proud Elizabetta and Clara have earned 9400 by manipulating the boys. Vepar is proud Picero and Goemon have earned 8200 by hunting from the safety of their castle. Furfur is proud Jazz and Alocer earned 12,800 by theft and cunning. Sullivan and Barbatos insists Iruma is the likeliest to win, even though Iruma and Lead currently have zero points. In the forest, Lead is certain Elizabetta has feelings for him while Iruma is confused by Clara's confession. The tutors get drunk and pass out.

The Dorodoro brothers demand their master back, goading Asmodeus and Sabnock into their challenge. The two pairs battle a Flapple Bird worth 10,800 points. Niro is a master strategist and Ichiro is fully combat proficient, a perfect team, while Asmodeus and Sabnock argue constantly. The brothers are revealed to have a bloodline ability, Peacock of Provocation, that makes enemies lose their temper, so they provoke Sabnock to attack them to disqualify him from the festival. Asmodeus stops him in time, exposing their ability. The brothers explain their dream to be warriors almost got them killed when they joined a battle totally unprepared. Their master rescued and trained them but suddenly left to become a teacher. Asmodeus and Sabnock assume they mean Balam, but it is abruptly revealed their master is actually Furfur; they never bothered to confirm who Furfur was tutoring, assuming it would be the strongest of the Misfits, Asmodeus and Sabnock. Asmodeus loses his temper and reveals Balam gave them secret pills to trigger his Evil Cycle at will, increasing his power and his repressed evil side; unimaginably elegant and savage. The Flapple is defeated and despite their desire to see Asmodeus disqualified, the brothers must dodge his attacks to avoid death. Sabnock snaps Asmodeus back to normal with a programmed password, the closest thing to Asmodeus' heart; Iruma. Back to normal, they argue over who gets the most points from the Flapple. The brothers can't believe they were defeated by two people with such poor teamwork. | |||||||||

The referees announce it is now day two of the festival. Lead is convinced Iruma is planning to find the Legend Leaf; Iruma is so surprised by the suggestion he agrees without thinking. As no student has ever seen the Leaf, Iruma wonders about asking the monsters themselves, leading them to Crocell and Kamui. They find her new authority over animals has almost put Crocell into her Evil Cycle, styling herself Queen of Monsters with Kamui as her Majordomo. In exchange for wearing dresses and dancing while Caroli takes pictures, her monsters reveal the Leaf has not even grown yet and give a riddle concerning the location of the seed and the vase it must be grown in. The watching tutors are impressed as this is the first time a student has found the riddle. So many students begin to quit from exhaustion, so the referees bring in the student council to help rescue them. Ameri is convinced Iruma will be the one to finally find the leaf. A council member teases Iruma might give Ameri the Leaf's flowers in a bouquet, sending her into a daydream of dating and marriage. Ameri discovers a gambling den of forfeited students wagering on who will win. She investigates and finds the ringleaders are two Misfits who forfeited suddenly and inexplicably; Jazz and Allocer. | |||||||||

Jazz and Allocer reveal they fell prey to student Orobas, whose bloodline ability Trauma made Jazz see nightmarish visions of his selfish brother Rock. When Jazz attacked Rock, he actually attacked Orobas so both he and Allocer were disqualified. Allocer informs Ameri Orobas is specifically targeting the Misfits to disqualify them. As the riddle contains multiple clues, Iruma and Lead take half the riddle each and split up. Iruma discovers the cave that should contain the seed, but Alicred worries about Iruma's ability to defend himself alone. Iruma discovers Naphula the Silent, a notoriously smelly student trapped by vines. Alicred suggests leaving him but Iruma rescues him. Reaching an underground temple they locate the seed only to narrowly dodge an attack by the seed's giant guardian, Toto the Genie. Toto informs them to earn the seed they must either defeat him in battle or tell him something interesting. Iruma and Naphula are stumped as Toto knows everything there is to know about the Netherworld. Iruma realises Toto is ignorant about humans so he, Alicred, and Nephula perform scenes from First Love Memories that Toto becomes obsessed with. Toto awards them the seed then demands Iruma's phone number so Iruma can tell him the rest of the story later. | |||||||||

He is so terrified by their return he slips and falls into a chasm. Orobas, who had used his Trauma to give Iruma nightmarish visions, is satisfied by Iruma's supposed death but leaves Naphula unharmed since he is not a Misfit. Iruma, injured by his fall, suffers another vision of all his friends rejecting him for being a human and of Sullivan trying to return him to his parents.

Iruma still cannot climb with his injured leg, but he suddenly remembers how his human blood healed the Valley Guardian's baby. Adding a drop to the vine, it grows so explosively fast and enormous it breaks through the ground and towers over the entire forest, shocking the students and teachers. Iruma declares he still intends to win but Kalego angrily reminds him he still has 0 points.

Iruma finds Lead crying, revealing that Elizabetta robbed him of the Vase, not by seducing him but by telling him he is not her type and she doesn't like him, causing him to faint from shock. Knowing Elizabetta wouldn't be so needlessly cruel, Iruma suspects it was another hallucination, meaning Orobas stole the Vase. Lead confirms this with his training enhanced Sense Steal, learning the real Elizabetta is miles away in a secret hot-spring with Clara and Crocell. Crocell wishes to form a team with Elizabetta and Clara to invade Picero and Goemon's castle, steal their ingredient stockpile and claim the Young King title for herself. Picero, having no interest in fighting, decides to surrender to Crocell, but all the students sheltering in the castle decide to fight back. Having been trained in Gentleman Combat, Kamui leads the monsters in battle but they are all defeated by Goemon's enhanced Wind-Sword technique.

Orobas, who has consistently been stuck in 2nd place and assumed to be a part of a cult that worships "The Second", is unbearably jealous of the Misfit's popularity and abilities, so wants to be better than them by becoming Young King. He briefly feels guilty over using Trauma on them, but his partner Ocho mentally manipulates him into forgetting his guilt. Orobas gives Clara visions of Iruma telling her she is annoying and only talks to her for her ability to provide free snacks, like the bullies she used to deal with. Iruma arrives and furiously destroys the vision with his last remaining arrow. Orobas is so angry he prepares to use his strongest level of Trauma to break their minds for the rest of their lives, but Asmodeus appears from nowhere and stops him. | |||||||||

The three agree to enjoy their reunion properly once the Festival ends with Asmodeus planning a party at his house. Ocho secretly retrieves Orobas, confident that with the Vase already submitted no one can stop Orobas becoming Young King, offering him extra rare plants for good measure. Iruma refuses to surrender, certain there is still a way to win, when out of nowhere, the referee Orobas submitted the Vase to re-appears, revealing himself to be Allocer in disguise. Allocer explains that while Jazz was disqualified for attacking Orobas, Allocer himself never attacked anyone, instead he posed as being disqualified to get access to the cameras watching the competition while still being a competitor. With help from the disqualified, they plotted revenge and have now stolen the Vase, robbing Orobas of victory. Allocer returns the Vase to Iruma, placing all the Misfits trust in hm.

Naphula uses his watering can to water the Leaf, but it also requires vast magic to grow. Iruma considers using Ifrit mode, but Alicred's magic is too drained. Clara gives the magic she accumulated from her Toy Box back and the Leaf blooms into an anticlimactic goofy face, just as the Festival ends; right as the Leaf bloomed, Iruma receives a vision of the Demon King Derkila. Clara and Naphula refuse their points so Iruma and Lead receive 50,000 each. However to everyone's surprise, Orobas is announced victor with 58,000, yet still feels unsatisfied by this. But then, Jazz suddenly points out the Leaf is worth 100,000, but the Vase is worth a separate 20,000. The judges confirm this, meaning Iruma and Lead actually receive 60,000 each and are the joint victors, reducing Orobas to third place. Orobas is content as this still breaks his curse of always coming in second place, and also helps him realize his hatred of the Misfits was masking his jealousy of their friendships. He apologizes to the Misfits and is forgiven by the whole school. Ameri reveals Naphula is a student council member and saving him from the vines was the secret third task to grow the Leaf, as only Naphula held the Rainbow Watering Can necessary for it to bloom. The Leaf, who can speak, reveals the tasks to make him bloom were actually tests of character to find the least evil demon to become the Young King. To honour the Young King, he announces a prize for every demon in attendance. | |||||||||

Orobas can barely remember his partner Ocho, who also somehow avoided the broadcast cameras. Iruma and Lead are given front-row thrones, with Iruma grabbing Clara and Asmodeus, refusing to let go. The rest of the Misfit Class join them in celebrating, where Crocell feels mortified by the things she did as the Monster Queen.

Robin shares his opinion students are like family, only for every teacher to ominously disagree; students are a treasure teachers must protect. Anyone who threatens that treasure will receive "Discipline". A flashback to the end of the festival reveals Ocho was an infiltrator from the Second Faith, a cult that worships the number 2, and that he manipulated Orobas into believing his curse of always coming in 2nd place was an omen. Robin, on Kalego's orders, found and shot Ocho non-fatally as a warning to the cult. Ocho reports to his master, Baal, about all he learned about the Misfit Class, including Iruma who he snuck a recording bug on. They discover through the recording device that Iruma is a human and Kiriwo, now Baal's subordinate, salivates with joy at this revelation that he will plunge Iruma into ultimate despair by eating him. Baal confirms the demon world will soon become very interesting. Meanwhile, Kalego and Balam leave it up to the unfortunate Robin to get the drunk teachers home safely. | |||||||||
