Iruma looked at this scene and sighed,
"Studying with everyone in the class, sharing my insights... I didn't know studying could be so enjoyable. Thanks to everyone, studying has become fun... It's amazing... And, I also seem to have confirmed one thing... I really am smart!"
Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was time for the exam results to be announced.
Kalego walked to the podium, just about to speak.
"Hold on a minute! Let us prepare ourselves mentally! This is too fast!"
"Silence! I regret to inform you all that the number of people who need to go to remedial class is... none." Kalego even let out a 'tsk' sound as he said this.
Then there was a huge cheer.
"Silence! Those three demons over there who are Aleph (1), if your scores are above average, you can be promoted to Bet (2). These are your rank badges. Allocer has gone from Aleph to Gimel (3) because he is first in his grade. And Shesi, you are fifth, so you will also be promoted one rank, now at Dalet (4)."
"Congratulations!"
"Wow, fifth place? That's amazing!"
"I can't believe Allocer is first place? That's incredible, stronger than even Asmodeus and Shesi in theory?"
"Congratulations, big brother," Iruma congratulated Shesi.
"Mm, thank you. Congratulations to you too. Now we can have some good fun," Shesi replied.
Asmodeus looked at Iruma, who was cheering over there, and couldn't help but think,
"I didn't expect that group of restless people could also pass. Is it because of Iruma-sama? Influenced by Iruma-sama's presence, everyone picked up their fighting spirit and studied. This... is undoubtedly the quality of a King. Indeed, that figure I seemed to see that time... was not wrong."
At this moment, Kalego walked over and handed Iruma his exam report card.
"Although you made the biggest improvement this time, since your rank is 3, there's no reward if you're not in the top 5. Well... that's how it is. Hey, you guys over there, no celebrating! There's still class! You idiots!"
It turned out that Lead and the others were already preparing to celebrate passing.
Iruma, on the other hand, looked at his report card and smiled. He then said something to Asmodeus and Shesi before running out, intending to go congratulate Balam-sensei. Halfway there, he saw Balam-sensei surrounded by female students.
"Balam-sensei, I don't quite understand some of this knowledge. Could you please help me with it ~ afterwards?"
"Ah, this, you just need to use a few formulas to solve it." Balam-sensei was clearly not interested in women... "Uh... then this?"
"K'un minute formula."
...Balam saw Iruma approach and apologized to the girls surrounding him before directly running towards Iruma.
"Did you pass?"
"Yes, yes! Look," Iruma handed his report card to Balam-sensei.
"Oh, oh! Out of 163 students, you ranked 81st with 81 points. Right in the middle! Congratulations, Iruma, you've improved so much!" He said, hugging Iruma and swinging him around.
"Thank you, sensei. It's all thanks to your picture book."
Balam shook his head at his words.
"No, this is the result of your hard work. Since that's the case, I'll give you a gift." Saying this, Balam pulled out a flower from his pocket, and it instantly transformed into the mature state of a small demon.
Iruma immediately distanced himself upon seeing this.
"Isn't that a Fire Flower? It breathes fire!"
"That's right. Studying is helpful, isn't it? The knowledge you gained in this exam will surely protect you. You've grown a lot, Iruma. By the way, I've removed its fire seed, so it won't breathe fire. It's safe."
"Is... is that so?"
"Influencing each other, learning, and then evolving, this is the privilege of living beings. My asking Shesi-kun to cut my hair is also because I really want people to get close to me, so I try to change my appearance... And, Iruma-kun, do you know? Your words don't contain any lies; they truly strike deep into my heart."
"Eh?"
"It's nothing. Go and celebrate with your classmates, okay? After all, everyone worked very hard."
Although Iruma didn't understand the first part of what he said, he understood the latter part. He nodded happily and then ran back to the classroom.
Balam, seeing this, also prepared to return to the classroom office.
In the hallway, Balam was walking when a voice suddenly called out to him.
"Shichiro."
"Ah, Kalego-kun."
"So, was there any cheating this time?"
Balam Shichiro [White Raven of Protection], the only one in Babyls with the same rank as Kalego [Khet (8)]. Family Ability [Falsehood Bell]: Able to instantly detect lies and abnormal behavior in the observed target.
"Spreading your magic power throughout the entire Babyls and observing the reactions of all students, this is something only you can do. There shouldn't be any student in the school you can't monitor, right?"
...Inside the Magic Tool Research Division.
"Eh? Where's Schneider-senpai?" Shesi had originally wanted to come and ask Schneider about the item he wanted, but when he walked in, he only saw Iruma, Clara, and Asmodeus.
"Ah, he was caught and sent to remedial hell without a doubt because of the smart drug," Asmodeus said.
"..."
It turned out that the written exam wasn't just for Iruma's grade but for all grades. Schneider-senpai was naturally among them, but Schneider was a bit... in terms of studying, so he invented a smart drug. However, he was caught as soon as he brought it out.
But it must be said that Schneider was indeed very capable. Clara only took a small sip and became strange. As for how strange?
Shesi could summarize it in a few sentences.
"It's fine, it was just a small sip~ I'm sorry to have worried you all, but it seems to have had no effect at all. Iruma-kun, please don't rely on strange drugs; study diligently, okay?"
At the time, it scared Shesi and the others quite a bit, but luckily, she recovered after only an hour.
In the parlor.
"Alright, because of studying, I could only spend a short time with Shesi every day. The results are out, and Shesi is actually fifth... This definitely needs to be celebrated, right? Read two books? No, I need to make up for it with four! That's decided. I've already sent an email to Shesi, so he should be here soon!" Ameri thought to herself as she styled her hair in front of a mirror.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Ameri turned around, her words abruptly stopping.
"Shesi, you're here... Eh?"
The person at the door was not Shesi, but Clara.
"Shesi-kun isn't coming back!"
"Eh?"
Inside a KTV, Shesi, Iruma, and the other boys from the Misfit Class were having a wild time. It must be said that this was Shesi and Iruma's first time in a KTV in the demon world. Actually, it couldn't really be called a KTV; it was more like a low-quality KTV. This was the Game Division's 'Last Song Room,' considered an on-campus KTV? (fog)
"They dragged us here to celebrate the end of the final exam," Shesi slumped on the sofa. Now, Shesi didn't know why, but whenever he touched a sofa, he would automatically slump onto it.
