"Mhm, mhm, mhm! Indeed, the Misfit Class has more handsome boys," Teacher Miki said, nodding as she looked at their figures.
"Huh, huh, huh? Not me?" Lead leaned forward.
"You and those over there aren't to my taste," Teacher Miki said, looking at Lead and pointing at Iruma.
"Ah..." Lead looked a bit dejected.
"Someone like this... huh?" Teacher Miki walked over to Piquero and lifted him up with one hand.
"You... are so light?" Teacher Miki asked, puzzled.
"Ah... yes, everyone in our family is very light."
Lord Shesi explained.
"Piquero is only 5 kilograms," Lord Shesi introduced.
At this, everyone except the two guards was astonished.
"Huh, that light?"
"Piquero is actually that light? Is there some trick?" The older sister was excited; although height was her advantage, she was indeed much heavier than an average female demon due to her bone structure. While not a big deal, she was still a bit conscious of it.
Teacher Miki, standing nearby, glanced at the older sister's assets, then at her own.
"Tsk, today's children are truly over-nourished."
"What? Teacher, how can you say that? Yours is clearly..."
Just as everyone else thought something scandalous might happen, it stopped abruptly. Teacher Miki walked over to Sabro.
"Hmm, you look very familiar, like someone I know, but you're stronger than him. I think the outfit I designed might suit you."
Then she looked at Lord Shesi.
"You! No!"
Lord Shesi was a bit disappointed, but he knew that since he had deceived her, it was understandable for her to hold a grudge. So, he didn't show any dejected expression and pretended to be sad, saying,
"Ah, no, Teacher Miki!"
...The next morning.
"So, should we take the path by the chapel today? It feels quieter over there," Asmodeus suggested to Iruma.
"Hmm, indeed," Lord Shesi also nodded. It seemed he had made too much of a spectacle last time, he shouldn't have done that. Although [Ink] liked it, as he had received many offerings from first-years, he would definitely have to go on a diet again. He didn't know why a dragon cared so much about its weight, or what the standards were. It was truly vexing.
Lord Shesi sighed. He had been so composed before. When did he become so fond of showing off? Kerori! That's right! It seemed ever since he met Kerori, he started showing off like crazy. Before, his presence wasn't that strong, and his attention was entirely on his younger brother. He just wanted to enjoy his school life properly.
Suddenly, Lord Shesi and the others heard a commotion and turned to look.
"Oh, oh! The first-years' ranks are out!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Lord Shesi and the others also walked over to join the fun... Lord Shesi:...How did I become so fond of joining the fun? "Hmm, the flying competition results are in," Iruma said.
Asmodeus also said,
"It seems so."
"What's that frame at the top?" Iruma asked, seeing the frame at the top.
"It seems to be for the top-ranked first-years," Asmodeus guessed.
"Heh heh! Let me tell you!"
Suddenly, a voice behind the four startled them.
"Wh-what?"
"Oh dear, my apologies. Such captivating words always make one lose control..."
The demon secretly watching Lord Shesi and Asmodeus.
"Tsk..."
"I remember you... the second-place in the entrance exam, Gyarpy, Jeje, right?" Lord Shesi recalled, looking at the person in front of him.
"Haha, I am deeply honored to be remembered by Lord Shesi. Indeed, I am the rightful first-place in the Next Generation Looks Competition, the Grand Prize winner of the Cursed Demon Boy Competition, and a currently popular model who, despite being a newcomer, has appeared on countless magazine covers—Jeje!"
"It's truly troublesome, all because of my overwhelming abilities and good looks."
Lord Shesi's and Asmodeus's fans.
"Tsk..."
"My aura spills out from the side, making me instantly recognizable wherever I go..."
Lord Shesi and Asmodeus looked at the clothes the person in front of them was wearing.
"No, if you wore normal clothes, you probably wouldn't be so conspicuous. After all, no normal demon wears all red casually."
Jeje stared at Asmodeus.
"Therefore, I, who am omniscient and omnipotent, destined to become [Jeje]..."
"No one asked you," Asmodeus retorted.
"I certainly cannot leave young maidens here unattended..." Before Jeje could finish, two figures suddenly ran past him, knocking him flying.
"Get out of the way!"
Chima and Sylvia ran to Lord Shesi.
"Good morning, Lord Shesi, good morning, Lord Iruma."
"Oh, Chima-chan and Sylvia. Good morning! You're full of energy!" Lord Shesi smiled.
"Good morning," Iruma also greeted them.
Asmodeus, meanwhile, looked at the two with a puzzled expression. Sylvia... he had some impression, she seemed to be Sabro's younger sister. But this other child? Sylvia had come to Babyls to play during the Division exhibition, so Clara and Sylvia had played together. But he had truly never seen the other one.
Lord Shesi saw this and introduced them.
"This is Sabro's younger sister, Sylvia. And this is Kerori's younger sister, Chima. They are both very cute girls," Lord Shesi introduced.
"Hehe, cute girls..." Chima chuckled, blushing. However, she suddenly realized she was in front of Lord Shesi and immediately composed herself.
"Um, Lord Shesi, I got first place in the flying competition!"
"Hmm... that's very impressive," Lord Shesi praised. Suddenly, Lord Shesi felt a chill. He turned to look and saw Kerori coldly staring at the hand Chima was holding.
"Yes, yes, Chima-chan flew super fast, super amazing, zooming forward!" Sylvia, next to her, also said.
At this moment, Jeje, who had been pushed down, stood up.
"Hmph, as cold as ever, Chima... How are you today...?" Jeje didn't finish before he was interrupted by an ice pillar summoned by Chima. Then, he looked at Lord Shesi excitedly.
"Um... I, I ranked in the top 28! I worked really hard to qualify! So please, senpai, guide me well! Lord Shesi-senpai!"
Lord Shesi paused, then suddenly remembered, oh right, it seemed like Heart Rupture was coming up.
At this moment, Iruma, next to him, asked curiously,
"Qualify?"
Jeje, beneath the ice pillar, struggled to stand up, propping himself against it.
"Kurokeru Zhima... Hmph! This will be a good warm-up for next weekend. Thank you for your beautiful ice," Jeje said, walking in front of Chima.
"You? Who?" Chima looked at Jeje with some confusion.
"Heh heh! A good provocation, but even so, next week's protagonist will definitely be me!"
"I'm first."
"..."
At this moment, Iruma, Clara:??? What's going on? What next week? Is there a new event?
...Inside the Royal Classroom.
"Next weekend, as scheduled, the rank-up examination will take place," Kalego announced to everyone upon returning from his vacation.
"Originally, the second-years' examination was supposed to be earlier, but you are an exception, Misfit Class. Since all of your ranks are [4] or higher, the Teachers held a meeting and concluded that a new examination would be specially prepared for you."
"New?"
"Its name is [Heart Rupture]. Your enemies are the Teachers of Babyls. They will attack, aiming for the [Treasure]. Your mission is to protect the [Treasure]. And the treasure is your 28 demon juniors. So, the Misfit Class's first rank-up examination for second-years is a joint activity with the first-years."
