The netherworld.
The realm where demons live.
And the king that rules over the netherworld is...
the Demon King.
But the Demon King's throne has been vacant for some time.
Who will be the next Demon King?
"Iruma-kun from Demon School."
Iruma-kun from Demon School
Iruma!
I'm leaving this to you!
Don't let it fall apart!
Y-Yes, sir!
If it falls apart, I'm docking half your pay!
Suzuki Iruma, fourteen years old.
He is being forced to work on a tuna fishing boat.
To put it simply,
his parents are scumbags who refuse to work,
so he has to work instead.
I won't be able to get by with only half my pay!
Huh?
Holy crap!
Huh?
Huh? Wha?
Huh?
Huh?!
Sold
Sold?!
Wh-Wh-What... What's going on?
Whoa!
Wh-Where are we?
Who are you?
Wh-What?
I made it so you can understand the demon language.
Suzuki Iruma,
this is the netherworld.
Netherworld?
It's the realm of demons.
Demo—
I can understand you.
Yes, I did put a spell on you.
A-A spell?
Well, of course I can use spells. I'm a demon.
A demon?!
Indeed, a demon.
My name is Sullivan.
Iruma,
you parents sold your soul to me.
My parents sold my soul to a demon?
They would never—
Actually, yes, they would...
What's that?
That is my mansion.
Wh-What are you going to do with me?!
Huh?
Won't you be my grandson?
Huh?
You see, I've been single all this time.
It's always been my dream to have a grandchild!
A grandchild?
I've been so jealous of Levy and Belial bragging about their grandkids!
I'll buy you anything you want, and I'll spoil you to death!
So please? Please?
You'll be my grandson, right?
B-But I was sold to you, right?
Do I even have the right to decline?
I'll respect your wishes.
You can say no if you really want to!
Wh-What should I do?
In all my years...
I've never refused anyone!
Indeed.
Suzuki Iruma is a complete pushover.
You can handle this yourself.
Yes, of course.
Whenever he's asked to do something...
I'm so sorry to trouble you.
Oh, don't worry about it!
And even when he isn't asked at all...
Don't worry about chasing me!
Even in ridiculous situations...
He will accept anything and can't decline.
He's such a pushover that even he finds it sad.
But, I mean...
This situation is pretty insane.
Most people would say no, right?
I-If it's okay for me to say no...
U-Um, I—
However!
That's exactly why I'm putting all I have into this request!
I beg of you!
Think of it as helping out a dying old man, Iruma-kun!
Please!
Words that Iruma stands no chance against...
Please
Number 1: "please."
Number 2: "help."
Help
I beg of you
Number 3: "I beg of you."
Contract
Contractor Suzuki Iruma
I just became a demon's grandson...
Iruma has the habit of just accepting anything
after living through fourteen years of misfortune.
Well, now that that's settled...
Wh-Wh-What is all this?
Well, you're my precious first grandchild!
Your food, clothing, shelter, and...
Wh-What is this?
Your education!
You look so perfect! And adorable!
I'm going to enroll you in a demon school.
A demon school?
You were forced to start working at a young age because of your parents
and didn't really get to go to school, right?
But have no fear!
All the paperwork's been taken care of!
I am your grandpa, after all!
Grandpa...?
That sounds so wonderful! "Grandpa!"
Let's take a picture together on your first day!
Uh, wait...
There's never been a human enrolled in this school,
but you won't be eaten as long as they don't find out you're human!
They're going to eat me if they find out?!
Sploosh!
Thanks to this perfume, you don't smell like a human anymore, so don't worry.
Um, you know, I'm actually...
I'm so relieved you're such a good kid, Iruma-kun.
Huh?
If you had declined...
I'd have no choice but to have you for dinner tonight.
Oh, what were you saying?
Uh, nothing!
This is your room as of today.
My room?
You'll have to get up early tomorrow for your first day.
Make sure you get plenty of sleep.
Goodnight.
U-Um...
You take your whims too far.
Opera.
You could've adopted all the demons you wanted.
Why would you bother adopting a human as your grandson?
What were you thinking?
Nothing, really.
You'll understand someday, Opera.
I'm so excited for tomorrow!
My own room...
I've never had one before.
My whole life has just been hell, really.
It's like a dream...
What a weird dream.
It wasn't a dream!
Iruma-kun! Good morning!
Did you sleep well last night?
Oh, I'm so happy! My grandson's first day of school!
Picture time!
Iruma-kun, stand right next to that.
N-Next to this?
Entrance Ceremony
"Entrance ceremony"?
I can read it!
This must be another one of Sulli— Grandpa's spells.
Entrance Ceremony
Oh, I'm so happy!
My grandson's first day of school!
His first little bag!
So innocent! So pure!
U-Um,
you're Opera-san, right?
So, this school...
Look over there.
That is the demon school Babyls.
Sure
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning.
I can't hear you!
Good morning!
All right.
I have to go get ready, so I'm taking off.
Huh?
U-Um, what about you, Opera-san?
Have a good day.
Th-Thanks.
Hey, you.
M-Me?
You won't be eaten as long as they don't find out you're human!
I-I'm going to get eat—
The auditorium is that way.
Y-Yes, sir!
I'm sorry!
Thank goodness!
They didn't figure out I'm human!
Is something the matter, President?
No, it's nothing.
What is the meaning of this?
I'm testing out my skills before the entrance ceremony!
If I defeat a teacher, my name will be known far and wide!
Strength is everything!
I see. You're a complete idiot.
Hey, doesn't something smell really good?
Don't stand out... Don't stand out!
I hope we're in the same class!
Right? I'm so nervous!
Hey, a normal conversation.
Mami! Uu-chan! Konchie!
Keebow! Sin Sin! Ran Ran!
Maybe this is just a normal school after all...
Silence.
Is that a teacher?
He's super scary!
Thank you for waiting.
It is 6:06 AM.
We will now formally begin the entrance ceremony for the demon school Babyls.
All rise!
It's time to sing the school song.
Humans only exist to be our food
Suck them dry, soul, blood, flesh, and all
I'm just air... air... air...
Tremble at the sound of black wings as we take flight
For we are demons
As this song pours forth from our red lips
I need to do everything I can not to stand out...
Scream for us, for we are demons
Next, a greeting from our director.
Yeah! Our future Demon King!
Demon King? You mean... the king of the demons?
Iruma-kun!
It's me! Grandpa!
He's the director!
Iruma?
The director's grandkid?
Yes, indeed!
My grandson now goes to this school!
He's just so adorable!
Please don't say anything weird!
And this is the photo that I just took...
Entrance Ceremony
with my grandson!
My cover is immediately blown!
That's him?
His grandson, Iruma?
I'll make sure everyone gets a copy later!
Looks just like him.
He does?
No one wants that!
Okay, that's all I had to say, so...
Bye!
Next, we have a greeting from the representative of the new students.
Isn't that the guy who scored the highest on the entrance exam?
He got a perfect score!
Seriously? Is he a genius?
The representative of the new students, Asmodeus-kun.
He's so cool.
So that's him...
I want him to curse me!
Hm... I guess he passes.
Huh? What?
Everyone's attention is shifting to him...
Giving the greeting in his place is...
The honor student, Iruma-kun.
Why, though?!
Huh?
What the heck?
Iruma?
He's doing it?
I knew it!
Iruma-kun, please come to the stage.
He's just a baby.
Look.
He's in front of a crowd this big and not even flinching.
He's got guts.
This is so sudden that I can't even move a millimeter!
If you would give your greeting now.
Greeting?
How am I even supposed to...
I send this message to you so that you won't trip and fall throughout your upcoming school days. Love, Grandpa
I send this message to you so that

Huh?
A-Am I just supposed to read this?
Ugh, I'm just going to have to read it!

No way!
Holy crap!
Seriously?!
He did it!
He said all of it!
What the hell, man?!
Hey!
You can't just go chanting forbidden spells like that!
Forb— Wha?
They're taboo!
If you were to stutter or read it wrong,
your body could've exploded!
That's common sense!
First I've heard of this!
I-I had no idea it was so dangerous!
That was so dangerous and crazy...
and totally awesome!
Wha?!
Only a complete idiot would say that spell,
or a demon who doesn't know better or isn't scared of dying.
B-By the way, what exactly does that spell do?
If it actually works,
you won't trip and fall for the whole day!
That's it?
My name is Asmodeus Alice.
H-Hi...
Wh-Why is this happening?
I heard the head of the class and the honor student are dueling in the courtyard!
This should be good!
A-Am I... going to be eaten?
I was supposed to give that greeting.
The punishment for stealing that spotlight from me is death!
Asmodeus Alice
Asmodeus Alice.
A demon who is a master of fire spells.
Huh?
And since you stole that spotlight from me,
I have the right to see if you are truly worthy of it!
Don't you think?
Th-They're enjoying this!
Now, prove to me that you
are superior to me...
with your body!
That's Asmodeus for you!
No other newbie could handle fireballs like that!
He's amazing, but...
Yeah... He hasn't hit him once.
Hey, wai—
Please calm down!
Why, you...
I-I can't hit him?!
Iruma managed to dodge every single attack for twenty minutes.
Why can't I hit you?!
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Why was such a feat possible?
It's because he's unfortunate.
After being put through endless hell by his brainless parents,
he became a master of dodging anything
dangerous, scary, or painful.
Now's my chance!
I need to apologize.
His attack points may be zero,
but his defense is infinite.
This power...
If we were to give it a name,
Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability
it'd be "Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability."
U-Um, I'm really sorry—
Iruma's awesome.
Huh?
He hasn't attacked him once yet.
Wait.
Is he saying he's not worth his time?
Are you saying...
I'm not even worth attacking?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
I'm nothing more than an insignificant bug!
That means you're less than a bug!
Why don't you run away, you coward?
Yeah! You tell him!
Y-You've got it all wrong!
I will not abide such insults!
If magic won't work,
I'll take you down using martial arts!
I'll tear you apart!
He can use his opponent's strength to parry their attacks.
Another part of his Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability.
Eiko!
Watch out!
We're gonna fall!
If it actually works,
you won't trip and fall the whole day!
What's happening?
A duel on the first day of school?
What's going on?!
Those who witnessed the duel that day would later say...
"Yes, it was an absolutely perfect
German suplex."
I'm finished...
Chanting a Forbidden Spell at the Entrance Ceremony?!
Gave the Head of the Class a Concussion!
"Chanting a forbidden spell at the entrance ceremony."
School Paper
"Gave the head of the class a concussion."
"Behold, the thoroughbred honor student Iruma's amazing attack!"
Wickedness
Iruma's awesome!
That honor student's insane!
Asmodeus-sama looks amazing even when he's defeated!
I heard he saved a girl.
I'd expect nothing less from my grandson.
Director's Room
You have a bright future ahead!
What should I do?
You're so adorable!
I did something awful!
I just can't! You're too adorable!
I have to apologi—
Eek!
A-Asmodeus-kun...
I am at your service, Iruma-sama!
Huh?
There is nothing I can say.
I completely and utterly lost our duel earlier.
On top of that,
I was informed that you carried me to the infirmary.
I, Asmodeus, was moved beyond words.
Huh? Uh, I...
Demon law dictates that the loser must serve the victor.
Therefore...
I give my all to you
and will aide you in ruling over this school, Iruma-sama!
What?!
Wait a minute...
First, let's make the entire student body your servants.
Iruma-sama, who shall I slay first?
Please give me your orders.
Iruma-kun,
can I make this the main picture on the school's website?
Please don't!
Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen.
Enrolled at the demon school Babyls.
Has now acquired one subordinate.
No!
Su-ki-ma!
Su
Ki
Ma
Iruma-sama! Please ask me to do anything!
Sure...
But I don't need anything right now!
Iruma-san saved me.
I want to thank him,
and maybe even get closer to him.
Irum—
I-Is something wrong?
I just felt a presence.
Scary...
He's so scary, oh my gosh, he's scary.
Will she be able to thank Iruma?
You can do it, Eiko-chan!
Next Episode Preview
I never dreamed I'd become a demon's grandson and start going to demon school.
Uh, Asmodeus-kun?
You don't have to bow so low!
I don't need a piggyback ride!
I can walk just fine.
What? Carry me instead?
No, that's not the point...
I don't need to ride on your shoulders, either!
Put me down!
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"Familiars Summoned."
Wait...
I'm human. I can't summon anything!
What should I do?!
