School Paper
Today, we will begin the ritual for new students to summon their familiars.
You'd better be prepared,
Iruma.
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?
Familiars Summoned!
"Familiars Summoned!"
You're such a good boy, Iruma. You always do what we say.
Iruma, could you carry these for me?
Sure!
After that, could you clean this up?
Sure!
Could you clean the bathroom, too?
Yeah, sure!
You're such a good boy, Iruma.
In that case...
Do you mind if we sell you off to a demon?
Su—
Of course that's not okay!
Huh?
Oh...
That's right... I...
Good morning!
My precious little grandson, Iruma-kun!
Your grandpa's here!
Sullivan
This is Sullivan.
He is a demon.
G-Good morning, um... Grandpa?
I love the sound of that!
I became a demon's grandson.
This is Suzuki Iruma, fourteen years old.
He's a pitiful boy who was sold off to a demon by his stupid parents.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
No need to hold back. Eat as much as you'd like.
You're still a growing boy.
Okay.
It takes a little courage to try the cooking in the netherworld...
But it's really good.
To think that I can actually take the time to enjoy a meal...
This might be the first time ever.
This is delicious.
I need to eat
while I still can.
Hell Grey Tea
Here is some Hell Grey tea.
Oh, thank you very much.
Today is your first day of classes.
Indeed.
Iruma is now attending the demon school Babyls as Sullivan's grandson.
I-I don't want to go...
Because if they find out I'm human,
the demons might eat me!
U-Um, can I discuss something with you?
It's about school...
Oh, before that.
Yes, sir.
Lookie, lookie!
I splurged a bit to celebrate you starting school!
Huh? This is for me?
But you already gave me so much yesterday...
Oh, that was just to celebrate me getting my first grandson!
This is to celebrate you starting school!
The epitome of a helicopter parent!
Ta-da!
Opera and I even added some embroidery!
Well? What do you think?
I-It's lovely...
I'm not used to doing embroidery, so it was quite exhausting,
but it was so much fun!
And this!
Here's your hellraiser clock so you can get up in the morning without being late.
Hellraiser Clock
So, what did you want to talk about?
Uh... Er, I...
About school...
What about school?
W-Well... I...
You?
I... want to go.
Yes.
Suzuki Iruma is a total pushover.
Okay, I'm off.
Have a good day!
Please be careful.
Okay, now we follow him.
I have to get his first walk to school on video.
You'll be working from home today.
Hey, wait! Opera!
Suck them dry, soul, blood, flesh, and all...
Tremble at the sound of...
Good morning.
Good morning, Class President.
The breeze feels lovely again this morning.
Man, I don't even know what to do.
What happened next?
C'mon, you guys...
No idle chit-chat!
Yes, ma'am!
Listen well. You are demons.
Speak in a tone that intimidates the listener!
Projection is the basis of intimidation! Don't slack off!
Yes, ma'am!
Good morning! Good morning, everyone!
Continue.
Good morning! Good morning, everyone!
Today's the familiar-summoning ritual!
I wonder what my familiar will be...
Good morning! Good morning, everyone!
I'm so excited!
I wonder if they're from the student council.
Good morning! Good morning, everyone!
I need to do everything I can to not be noticed.
Good morning, Iruma-sama!
I've been waiting for you for six hours and six minutes!
Good... morning, Asmodeus-kun.
Wait, six hours?!
Indeed.
Quietly, within the pitch black of the witching hour.
Asmodeus-kun!
There's seriously no need for that!
Is that so?
Oh, please, just call me "Azz."
Azz... kun?
Yes. Allow me to carry your bag for you.
Oh, you don't need to do that!
That's the honor student, Iruma.
Did you see the paper?
I guess he really did make the head of the class his servant.
I already made myself stand out...
So... where are we going again?
You're in the same group as me, Iruma-sama.
Group?
Yes!
They will divide the 163 new students into a number of groups,
and we'll prepare until classes begin.
It can't just happen all at once.
I see.
Today, we have the familiar-summoning ritual.
Let us go to the Familiars' Hall.
Familiars?
It is a tradition here at Babyls.
After entering the school,
each student summons a magical beast and makes it their subordinate.
And that's a familiar?
The student's rank will be determined by
the magical beast they are able to summon.
Climbing those ranks leads to academic success at Babyls.
Oh, I see.
I wonder if familiars eat humans...
Th-This is sort of nerve-racking.
These results will also determine what class you'll be in.
Really?
And the person who will be guiding us through this is quite famous.
Although he's strict and frightening...
Iruma-sa—
It's that super scary teacher.
Silence.
Naberius Kalego
I am Naberius Kalego, your advisor.
I am always in charge of this ritual.
Why?
Because I am dignified at all times.
I will determine whether you lot are useless trash or useful trash.
For example...
If a piece of trash used the spotlight his grandfather gave him to chant a vulgar spell
and then had the nerve to cause such a ruckus right afterward on the same day...
That'd be immediate grounds to get rid of you.
Also,
if a piece of trash had the nerve to try to hit a teacher during the entrance ceremony,
that is also immediate grounds to get rid of you.
I will immediately expel any failures, so be warned.
He's so scary...
Right?
I wonder if his sternness is what makes him so charming.
Silence.
Super easy!
Familiar-Summoning Course
Super easy! Familiar-Summoning Course!
One: draw a circle in blood on some parchment.
Two: head into the magic circle with said parchment.
Three: hold the parchment right above the candle in the middle of the circle.
Four: the smoke will take a form, and your familiar will appear!
Yuruma.
Okay, let's all—
That's enough of your explanation.
He smacked it down?
I guess he must hate that cute little lesson guide...
Make sure you use the parchment with my seal on it.
I can tell immediately if it's a fake.
U-Um, is this going to be dangerous?
What a foolish question.
You will be summoning a subordinate and making it serve you.
That's what familiars are.
And should a familiar disobey its master...
There will be punishment.
That's how deep this blood pact is.
Make sure you are prepared.
He's so scary!
Line up in an orderly fashion!
That man isn't even trying to hide his animosity.
Yeah...
I'll gladly charge him if you give the order!
Wait, no!
I'd never order you to do that!
I see...
You there!
Line up right now!
I am here!
Gulp...
My... familiar!
Next.
Took you long enough.
Wow, that's amazing!
It's Asmodeus!
Iruma-sama!
Th-That's amazing, Azz-kun!
You're both so cool!
You humble us with your kindness.
A Gorgon Snake...
I guess I'm not surprised, considering Asmodeus's lineage.
But this is nothing compared to the familiar you're about to summon.
He's this powerful, and he still lost to Iruma?
That's hard to believe.
However...
I'm not so sure about that...
Well, we shall find out soon enough.
You're up next, Iruma.
Y-Yes, sir!
Hey, it's Iruma's turn!
It's the honor student!
I wonder what kind of familiar he'll summon.
Everyone's watching me...
Wait a minute...
I'm human, so I don't have any magical powers.
Didn't he say that if I'm a failure, I'll be expelled?
Expelled?!
That's it! If they expel me, I'll be scot-free!
If I'm not able to do anything during this lesson...
Hallelujah, I'll get to go back to the human world!
He's smiling so much.
This must be a piece of cake for him.
Splendid, Iruma-sama!
The nerve of him, smirking like that!
He looks just like him!
Yes, that obnoxious, unrestrained demon with no regard for others...
He personifies the three things I absolutely despise...
Just like Mr. Random, that dumbass chair-demon!
Yay!
To think of all the things I went through because of him...
He docked my pay on a whim.
Super easy!
Familiar Summoning Course
He forced that stupid lesson guide he created on me.
He even caused havoc at the entrance ceremony!
Aberuhauke
But I am the one in charge of the familiar-summoning ritual!
If he messes up even a little, I'll immediately expel
your precious little grandson!
Summoning.
The ritual in which demons summon magical beasts and make them their familiars.
It is also the ritual in which humans summon demons
and make them their familiars.
The parchment had Kalego's seal on it,
and Iruma is a human.
Which means...
There it is.
So this is... my...
famili...ar?
What?!
Which means the demon Kalego was summoned by the human Iruma
to be his familiar.
What the hell is this?!
What the hell did you do?!
Uh... I-I have no idea!
Stop this!
Stop the summoning right now!
Y-Yes, sir!
They're tearing! You're going to rip them off!
Huh?
You fool!
You're supposed to push when this happens!
I-I'm sorry!
No, not my leg!
Come over here and push my head—
Hey!
S-Sensei?
Huh?!
Sensei!
Inconceivable!
This... This can't be...
Are you okay, Sensei?
Wait, are you even Sensei?
Iruma-sama.
Azz-kun! Something terrible just—
I am moved beyond words!
Why?!
To think that you were able to make Kalego your familiar...
What?!
A demon summoned another demon?
No way!
That's never happened before!
Amazing!
I knew you were secretly enraged by Kalego's attitude toward you!
This'll show him!
No, no, no!
Th-This was an accident!
Or, I mean...
Inconceivable.
Me? Me?! A familiar?!
You can't be serious!
Nullify this contract immediately!
Or I'll...
Sensei!
That must be the punishment!
That's amazing!
I guess familiars really can't disobey their masters.
You slayed me once again, Iruma-sama!
Seriously, why?!
Oh, boy!
No one's ever summoned a demon before.
Nullify the contract? That's not happening.
This ritual locks you in for a year.
If you try to undo it forcefully,
you'll probably both die.
S-Sensei!
Unable to nullify the contract.
Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen,
acquired a familiar on his first day of school.
A familiar... Me?
Me?!
Kalego became bedridden from shock,
and Iruma's rank was never determined.
As a result,
Breaking News
Shocking!
The Honor Student Iruma Turned Kalego Into His Familiar!
Iruma's notoriety spread even further
as he became known as the demon who made another demon his familiar.
I heard he made Kalego-sensei his familiar!
How do you even do that?
Crazy!
Breaking News
Shocking!
The Honor Student Iruma Turned Kalego Into His Familiar!
S-So cute...
Did you hear about Kalego-sensei?
This has never happened before!
Everyone's attention is on me...
This wasn't supposed to happen.
I need to not stand out.
This way, Iruma-sama.
Oh, right... um...
Were we getting our textbooks?
Yes!
For subjects such as the basics of being a demon,
curses, pharmaceutics, and the art of torture!
I can hardly wait!
Y-Yeah...
I need to make sure I don't stand out...
You lot!
What do you think you're doing?
Make way for Iruma-sama!
Please stop!
I told you to make way for Iruma-sama!
I'll turn you into ash!
Save us!
I-It's okay!
Azz-kun! You don't need to do that!
Is that so?
If that is your wish, Iruma-sama.
The path is now open.
Let us proceed.
S-Sure...
I'm going to become the air...
No matter what.
Oh, this must be it.
There's something going on inside.
Rolling!
Hey!
A-Are you okay?
Strike!
A girl?
Um...
You mustn't speak to her, Iruma-sama!
I'm Clara!
And my right foot is Connor, and my left foot is Murf!
My familiar is Falfal!
See, I was trying to grab some teaching aids,
but I got too excited and crashed!
Hey, have some candy!
When you see a bunch of stuff piled up, don't you just wanna go "kaboom"?!
You do, right?!
I'm gonna do it again, so watch me, okay?!
If it's for Daddy, I'll skip to my lou...
If it's for Mommy, I'll pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake...
If it's for Konchie, I'll skip to my lou...
Clara?
If it's for Keebow, I'll pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, yeah!
Su-ki-ma!

Today,
the ritual for the new students to summon familiars will begin.
You'd better be prepared,
Iruma.
A black cat...
I have a bad feeling about this.
Two hours before Kalego was summoned as a familiar.

I am absolutely floored!
You actually turned Naberius Kalego into your familiar!
You are a true demon from the bottom of your...
No, from the depths of Hell, Iruma-sama!
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"Iruma and Clara" and "Demon Friends."
What? I'm going to be playing house? And playing the young wife?!
I cannot... I cannot...
I think I may be floored again next week, Iruma-sama!
