Suddenly, both of them felt that something was wrong… Both looked at Azu at the same time.
Azu was contemplating the feasibility of the matter, and finally, he looked at them excitedly.
Both: This is bad!
"Since both adults are so famous, is recruitment really necessary? Even without actively recruiting... everyone should still flock to us, shouting words like, 'Please allow me to join!' as if on a pilgrimage, right?"
"Pilgrimage? Did you teach him that?" Shesi looked at Iruma.
Iruma was a bit flustered... He had only shared some Eastern stories his brother told him, and Azu seemed to really like them... Who would have thought he'd use words from them?""
"So... if both adults are unwilling to sit there..."
Hearing this, Iruma and Shesi both looked at Azu with sparkling eyes.
"Why don't we just set up statues of both adults and put up their photos for everyone to worship and offer tributes to!" Azu suggested.
The light in Iruma's and Shesi's eyes faded.
"By the way, Iruma, what are your thoughts?" Shesi asked Iruma.
"Hmm... no matter what kind of child joins, I hope to support them as a senior and make the Magic Tool Division... a home in their hearts," Iruma said.
All three smiled upon hearing this.
"I thought you would add a requirement to be good at cooking to the prerequisites for joining the Division..." Shesi said to his brother.
Hearing this, Iruma paused, then picked up his promotional newspaper.
"Good at cooking."
All three:...So he hadn't thought of it then.
That day, the four of them observed the surrounding atmosphere.
"Hiss... I feel like the atmosphere is a bit off? Why is it so murderous?" Iruma said, looking at the serious expressions on everyone's faces.
"Hoo hoo! Test 1, 2, 3... *cough cough*, hello everyone, I am Teacher Dali. I am here to announce the Hunting Pact. The first-year battle for Divisions is an important event. In Babyls, if you can find like-minded demons, you can spar, train, and grow together. Beyond this door, a wonderful encounter awaits you. Therefore! This is the list of Divisions to be wary of during this event." Dali pulled out a piece of paper with the Magic Tool Division and the Magic Development Division printed on it.
People from both Divisions:???
"Weak Divisions are precisely the ones that need excellent first-year students the most! So! Everyone certainly doesn't want the high-ranking Divisions on this list to get the best first-year students, right?"
Shesi, Iruma, Azu, Clara:!!!!
"But absolutely, absolutely! You must not hinder or exclude them. You must act in a friendly and measured manner!" Dali winked playfully at Shesi's side.
"Alright then, those are the rules. Eliminate anyone who rolls their eyes! The hunt for new first-year students begins!" With that, as the gate opened.
"First-year students! Excellent first-year students! Go capture excellent first-year students, then... eliminate the excellent Divisions..."
With Dali's instigation, almost everyone's attention was focused on the Magic Tool Division and the Magic Development Division, making it difficult for the two Divisions to move.
"Good opportunity, quickly tie up Iruma..." As a demon approached Iruma, Azu blocked him with flames. Then Clara and Iruma immediately used the newly learned non-verbal magic to stop the crowd.
"Can't get close... Damn it! Is that the Magic Tool Division with two rank 5 members?"
Shesi:? Huh? I didn't do anything?
Suddenly, Shesi felt something and subconsciously turned around, throwing a fireball that just burned away an attacking vine.
"Hey, hey, it can't be that everyone is targeting just us, right? There's still the Magic Development Division..." Shesi was about to try to redirect people to the Magic Development Division, but then he saw the strange looks from the people opposite him. He turned to look at the Magic Development Division and found that they had already been overwhelmed.
Shesi watched as more and more Divisions gathered. He was about to remind the others to break out when he realized... Iruma had already been captured by the Yakisoba Division's yakisoba.
"Hmm... Uh... I'll finish eating soon."
Clara was also stopped by the 'No Mode' Division.
"Uh... can I talk to them for a bit?"
Shesi looked speechlessly at the application forms in Clara's hand.
"If you talk to them for a bit, you'll probably be abducted," Shesi said, looking at Azu, the only one not tempted. He couldn't help but smile with relief; Azu was reliable after all. Until Shesi heard a voice from the Demon King Research Division.
"A Kingmaker is someone who guides a young king to become a king."
Azu immediately rushed over upon hearing this.
"What, what? What Kingmaker?"
Shesi:...Shesi could only pull out his phone. Since they were all tempted... he had to pull out his trump card.
"Senior Siniel, yes, we're in the courtyard, that's right, bring the most potent...? What, you're already here? OK."
Shesi hung up the phone, then put on a mask and earmuffs.
Just as everyone was wondering about Shesi's strange posture, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, carrying two spray bottles filled with an unknown liquid.
Shesi's eyes widened upon hearing this. Oh no, he forgot his eyes. So Shesi immediately rushed out of the encirclement. As for the other three... let them experience the consequences of giving in to temptation.
The moment Shesi escaped the range, Senior Siniel's chili capsaicin, highly toxic, paralyzing, screaming potion, inspired by Shesi, took effect.
"Ah! My eyes! Why can't I close them!"
"It's so spicy! My body is numb! My ears! Who's screaming?! Shut up... Ah ah ah ah ah, why am I screaming too?!"
Shesi couldn't help but click his tongue, looking at the terrifying scene inside.
"Tsk tsk, a Breaking Bad chemist, but speaking of which, Senior Siniel is really amazing to be able to create something like this," Shesi praised. Only after Senior Siniel nodded to him did Shesi dare to walk in. He looked at the miserable state of his brother, Azu, and Clara, then looked at Senior Siniel. Senior Siniel smiled slightly, indicating it was no problem, and then threw a dark pill into Iruma's mouth.
Shesi watched this scene in shock, not because of the black pill, but because Iruma... actually threw up because it was so disgusting!
It was well known that Iruma had a stomach like Luffy's; he could eat anything and digest everything. At least, Shesi had never seen Iruma throw up anything, unless it was something like a roller coaster... "Senior Siniel, what did you feed me? It was so disgusting... Huh? I'm fine?" Iruma then stood up directly, saying in surprise.
When the other two recovered, they also looked utterly lifeless, as if they had already died.
"Snap out of it!" Shesi shook the two of them.
"I think I saw my great-grandmother."
