Batsu returned with Schneider shortly after, and suddenly, they saw a bright light emanating from inside the house. The two rushed over and were astonished to see Iruma had already summoned his own bow—a simple yet clearly powerful bow, unique to Iruma's desires.
"You..."
...In the underground stadium, Madam Vepar watched Goemon and Piquero struggling in the water.
"They're so pitiful... Should I... let them out... But this is special training!" Wei Pei looked at the two inside, conflicted.
"No, I can't... This is special training... But they look so pained. Is my guidance too strict after all? My family also told me I wasn't suited to be a Teacher before... because I don't know my own strength... It seems I really can't handle this job... Maybe I should just stop." Wei Pei was about to pause their training when she heard a splash behind her. Turning around, she saw Piquero and Goemon burst out of two holes in the high-speed water current and escape.
"Pfft, cough, cough, cough. Damn it, finally... finally, I can control the water as if it were solid ground!"
"Cough, cough, cough. It's the same for me. I've figured out that water flow is similar to wind flow... Cough, cough, it's so salty." Goemon, also exhausted, sat directly on the ground as he spoke.
"But this teaching method is too reckless!" Piquero said, looking at the shocked Wei Pei.
"Are we qualified, Master?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Pei rushed over and hugged them both.
"Wahhh, you did great! These are the kind of children I want to teach! Thank you!" she said, crying.
"Wait! Snot! Snot!" Piquero warned, looking at the snot about to drip onto his head from her bird-like beak. However, what surprised them was that Madam Vepar continued to cry uncontrollably.
"Wait! We're going to be drowned again!"
...In a lounge, the scenes inside two iron cages were completely different. Mr. Hat observed the situations on both sides... "What's needed to communicate with magical beasts is [contact]—understanding and respecting the other party with reverence. This is love. For a summoner, finding creatures dirty and smelly and being disgusted by them is fatal... The scene over there was within my expectations, but this one..." Mr. Hat first looked at Camui, who was warmly interacting with a magical beast, and then over here... "Listen carefully, you absolutely cannot cross this line to come over here, understood?" Kerori sat on a box, looking at the magical beast curled up in a ball. The magical beasts huddled together nodded quickly upon hearing her, instinctively moving further back, making the line even more distant.
"An undeniable aura and presence. This is simply... a lady... no, a Queen's aura."
...And over with Robin.
"I lost again! Damn it!"
"Hehe, so far, Lead-chan still hasn't won against me once~" Robin said with a smile to Lead.
"Damn it, again!"
"Eh? Don't you need a break~ Your concentration must be waning from playing so long, right? I feel like you might suddenly die."
"No! I have to win at least once."
Robin looked at Lead next to him and couldn't help but think to himself,
"He's so serious, I'll go easy on him... a little encouragement?" Robin looked at the game over screen where he had already lost.
"Hey, hey, Teacher Robin, are you tired?" Lead next to him tilted his head and smiled at Robin.
"Was that intentional... his concentration has improved? It looks like he can make it to the next round." Robin also smiled.
..."Here we go, you idiot!"
"I know, imbecile!"
The two attacked Balam together. Balam shook his head, then used the nearby vines to fly straight up.
"Still too reckless... What?" Balam's vines were mostly burned away above, and the remaining parts couldn't support Balam's weight, breaking directly.
Seeing this, Asmodeus and Sabnock exchanged a slight glance and immediately rushed up, landing a blow on Teacher Balam. Although Balam instinctively defended, he was still hit.
Asmodeus and Sabnock happily fist-bumped upon seeing this.
"When you dodged Sabnock's pitchfork just now, my flames were actually on it. That's what slowly burned it away," Asmodeus explained.
"Hmm, not bad. Your strength has increased a lot after cooperating. Truly... outstanding students. I only told you to touch me, but you gave me a solid [hit]."
..."This is amazing," Reim said, looking at Elisabetta, who exuded an alluring aura.
"Ah, this is wonderful!" Elisabetta smiled.
"Don't let your guard down!" Reim said, but then turned to look at Clara.
"Baby-chan..."
Reim didn't want to discourage Clara, but the move Clara made was simply... "It's just... Eh?" Just as Reim was about to say something, he realized Clara was gone.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Reim felt like he was being hugged by something. He looked down and saw Clara hugging his waist.
"Hehe, did I scare you?"
Reim swore that at that moment, his heart fluttered. Then, Reim clutched his chest.
..."Heart flutter? Is it the unexpected... unexpected... sex appeal that comes from innocence? But... it seems I have a direction now. Interesting." Reim looked in Clara's direction and licked his lips.
Shesi:? Please don't, that's my precious beast.
Indeed, the Teachers realized... it seems this group of children is worth educating. Maybe a little stricter? It seems there's no problem.
A few weeks later,
Kalego, exhausted from a long period of work, finally sat back in his chair.
Teacher Daleth immediately came over upon seeing this.
"Tomorrow is the Harvest Festival. How are the students of the Misfit Class prepared?"
"Well, who knows," Kalego said, throwing his notebook onto the desk and leaning back in his chair.
"Eh? It feels like it went very well?"
But Teacher Daleth looked at Kalego's expression, which clearly showed he was confident of victory.
On the notebook Kalego threw on the desk, all the names of the Misfit Class students had a checkmark next to them, and the notebook read... "Misfit Class Special Training Report" Completed √
Harvest Festival: The first-year final skill exam, the "Harvest Festival." In the demon world, where the strong prey on the weak, the most important thing is to acquire ingredients, awaken the hunting instincts of a demon, and the act of devouring life becomes even more beautiful.
The Harvest Festival begins.
The outdoor screens were broadcasting the Teachers' live commentary. The hosts, of course, were our Teacher Daleth and Teacher Suki. In front of them sat a steaming hot pot, attracting everyone's attention... or perhaps the attention of foodies... "This test is an individual battle. Please use your specialties to achieve victory. So~ rookies! Are you ready?"
Immediately, the cheers outside were so loud that even the birds in the surrounding jungle were startled away.
"Morale has increased~"
