"Ignoring me, are we? How stubborn. Fine, if you're so eager to lose, I'll end this quickly!" The fiery phantom behind Teacher Ifrit immediately charged forward but was punched away by Azu.
"What? Is that? Blue flames?"
"I had planned to keep this magic hidden until my duel with Lord Kalego, but I have no choice now... Teacher Ifrit, have you ever fought flames you've never seen before?"
In a laboratory:
"It's done!"
"Lord Sullivan, what is this?"
"Yes, it's the experimental product Lord Delkira commissioned. I finally made it, but this is just the experimental version and can't yet be given to Lord Delkira..."
A figure appeared behind the young Sullivan.
"What? Let me~ see~"
The assistants nearby:
"Eh? De... Demon King!"
Delkira ignored everyone else and looked at Sullivan.
"Sully-chan, you made that thing? You made it, right~? I want to see it! Show me, show me, show me!"
"No! It hasn't undergone safety testing yet! After all, something as reckless as 'creating a flower field with lava' requires careful experimentation before..." Before Sullivan could finish explaining the dangers, he saw that Delkira had already picked up the experimental flask containing the fiery flowers.
"Wait!"
"Oh! What beautiful blue flowers!"
..."What's happening, Ifrit (the fiery giant behind him)... it's being drawn in..."
"Stand down!" Teacher Ifrit quickly stopped the fiery giant behind him.
"How pathetic. It's less about who teaches better and more about fear."
"You're the one... with no manners... ignoring the temptation of the flames and absorbing them. What exactly are these flames?!"
Azu explained:
"These are the [Fire Shore Flowers], which Teacher Balam and I created after deciphering ancient texts... As for the details... that's a secret."
"Tch... how stingy. Fine, if that's the case, I'll investigate myself! If they can absorb flames, I wonder how much they can absorb?" Teacher Ifrit melted a huge purple fireball and looked at Azu on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Azu slapped the ground, and six flowers instantly appeared.
"!"
Before Teacher Ifrit could react, a voice came from within the flames.
"Hell's Karma Fire!" A punch landed on Teacher Ifrit's stomach.
"Oh!"
After the attack, Azu also knelt on the ground, exhausted.
"Hmph." Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the ruins, and a demon completely engulfed in flames crawled out.
"Ah! Damn it! How is this possible! Seriously, this is so annoying!"
The flames on Teacher Ifrit gradually extinguished.
"Lord Kalego must have underestimated you. You're completely Rank 6, aren't you? Rank 5 was just to make people lower their guard, right? Although I respect Lord Kalego, his evaluation of you was far too low, wasn't it?"
Time returned to before the special training:
"Lord Kalego, could you roughly tell me the general strength of the Misfit Class?"
"Hmm... strength?" Kalego recalled the members of the Misfit Class.
"A brainless brute... a kind boy who always causes trouble, a reckless girl... and an arrogant little fool who likes to make deals?"
"You never said he was this strong! Asmodeus-kun, when you fight Lord Kalego, call me!"
"Is... is that so? That's very reassuring."
"Then... let's begin the second round."
..."Unfortunately, it's over now," Momonoki said, looking at Kamui.
"The effect of the familiar summoning sticker has ended, and all the familiars have disappeared. Your body has also reached its limit. However, you lasted three minutes? Quite tenacious, but it's time to end this." Teacher Momonoki looked at the quartet injecting magic power.
"Oh... oh no, the magic power hasn't fully charged yet. If this continues... we'll all be wiped out."
"Escape...? But how? Four teams scattering at once... no, that would be even more chaotic. If only we had at least one more companion... Lord Asmodeus... anyone... someone please help!"
Teacher Momonoki launched an attack at them.
[Fireball]
Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the side, blocking the attack.
"Senior Kamui?!"
Kamui got up again and blocked.
"I won't let you lay a hand on them."
"...Indecisive men are disliked, you know!"
[Lightning Strike]
Kamui stood up again.
"No... I absolutely won't let you pass..."
Fini Marianna looked at Kamui, who was blocking her.
"Why is this... demon resisting to this extent? Does he hope to raise his rank? Does he want to be popular with girls? I don't understand... what exactly is this demon..."
...Regarding Kamui's family:
[Ancestor Kaimu]
[Translation] Kaimu, Kamui's ancestor, was able to Lead various races in an attempt to rebel against the Demon King's army with his abilities. The Demon King's army suppressed them with force. After fierce battles, the Kaimu clan was almost annihilated. After that, Kaimu swore absolute loyalty to the Demon King, changing their terrifying'savage' ways and reforming themselves to become gentlemen who upheld loyalty to the Demon World and the Demon King.
"Therefore, we Kaimu must always live as gentlemen and ladies, understand, Kamui?" Kamui's mother asked the young Kamui.
"A gentleman is elegant, gentle, and brave. Your father is considered an excellent gentleman... he's really great... just a bit lecherous, so you must also become an excellent gentleman."
..."Why? Was I assigned to the Misfit Class?"
Kalego replied:
"You have the nerve to ask that while writing a letter of repentance..."
"No matter how I think about it, I find it incredible... I'm from a prestigious family of gentlemen."
Kalego replied:
"The reason you're in the Misfit Class is'sexual harassment of female students,' nothing else."
..."Kamui, you have a very elegant way of eating," Lead said, looking at Kamui across from him.
"Is that so?"
"Ah, I know, I know. Should I say it's elegant? It's very similar to Azu!" Iruma also said.
"To... to be pointed out as having something in common with Kamui... but in terms of demeanor, he truly is gentlemanly."
..."I, Kamui, have only one unshakeable belief that motivates me. No matter what pain or hardship, I can endure it. It constantly fills my chest! Enjoy being popular! I want to be popular with girls, I want to do naughty things with girls! I often hear that phrase, 'Be a gentleman,' and I thought,'So that means gentlemen are popular?' My shining moment... is now!" Kamui's vision blurred, and he was about to collapse.
"Please stop here! I will not allow you to harm him one iota more!"
