Nathair1: Thanks. Yeah, he's taken. Yeah, I didn't want to add it for a number of reasons. I've got something planned for that soon enough. I also read your review on my latest one-shot and yeah, I agreed that the Found trilogy was better, but I wanted to write something sad for some reason.

Enjoy the next chapter.

The students stood across from each other as Naberius stepped forward, setting a ball between the two groups. Iruma looked at Clara as she smiled, 'I'm on Iruma-kins team,'

'Clara, pay attention, the match is about it start,' the sound of a whistle blowing filled the air and the students raced towards the ball.

The students watched as Shax picked it up and smirked as he spun it on his fingertip, "Well, well, looks like we-" before he could finish, the ball wound up in Jazz's hand as the thief of the Misfit Class smirked and threw it back to Sabro. Sabro smirked before throwing the ball, knocking Shax out.

The ball rolled at Alice's feet and he looked down before looking up to see Iruma staring at him with an intense look crossing his face, "What?" he looked around and saw that everyone else was standing outside of the arena before he picked up the ball and hummed to himself, "How did Master Iruma and I make it all the way to the end? Wait, if I just give him the ball and let him win, he'll rank up," he looked back and smiled, "Hey Master Iru-" he stopped as the look intensified across Iruma's face before Alice sighed and lowered his head, "What am I thinking? Let him win? After all the training he's been through? You've disgraced yourself Asmodeus,"

A wall of fire surrounded Alice as he stepped forward and Iruma's eyes widened as Clara looked on in a panic, "Azz-Azz is going to hurt my Iruma-kins,"

"I am Alice Asmodeus, a demon who respects all forms of etiquette," Iruma swallowed hard as he watched as the pink-haired demon arched his arm back and threw the ball, fire surrounding the rubber sphere.

The entire class watched as Iruma ran towards the ball and Clara's eyes widened as Iruma stuck his hands out and he caught the ball as he was thrown back, 'Damn, Azz put a lot of power in this throw, I can barely hold on,' Clara frowned as she watched as Iruma jumped in the air and narrowed his eyes, 'So I might as well throw it back,' everyone watched as Iruma turned and threw the ball back, lightly striking Alice's shoulder, surprising the pink-haired demon as he held his arm and looked up in disbelief as Iruma's teammates ran over to him, cheering.

Alice sighed and hung his head, "I gave it all I had," he looked up and smiled, "And you soundly beaten me. Well done, Master Iruma," his teammates jumped on him,. cheering and laughing.

Naberius moaned as he sighed and shook his head, "Iruma!" the demons stopped cheering and looked at their teacher as the strict educator tossed Iruma a badge and the blue-haired human caught and looked down at it, "I hereby promote you to the rank of Gimmel," everyone stared at him, "I understand you were aiming to rise only to Bet, but your ending strategy earned you Gimmel, but know this, if it were obvious that Asmodeus allowed you to win, you will never rise through the ranks so long as I am an educator," he turned and began walking up the stairs, "Now, back to class with the lot of you,"

"Hey what about me?" Sabro questioned, "Aren't I going up a rank?"

"Negative," Naberius answered as he continued to walk away.

Clara looked down at Iruma's new badge and smiled as she tightly hugged him and whispered in his ear, "We match now, Iruma-kins...you're a Gimmel just like me," Iruma hummed and nodded before the students stood up and followed their teacher up the stairs.

Clara, her family, Sullivan and Opera sat around the table and congratulated Iruma. Clara leaned closer to her bond mate and lightly kissed his cheek, surprising him as Jack glared at the two and Iruma muttered under his breath, "Maybe not in front of your dad, Clara...he looks like he's ready to rip my head off," Clara smiled and ignored him as she snaked her arms around Iruma's arm and nuzzled closer to him, ignoring the looks from her parents, siblings, Sullivan and Opera.

The two laid under the sheets and stared up at the ceiling before Clara smiled and rolled on top of Iruma and smiled down at him, her hair getting in Iruma's face, "Hey Iruma-kins, how about I give you something else for getting to Gimmel today?"

"C-Clara, your parents are right down the hall and if they hear us, your dad is defiantly going to kill me," Clara moaned and pouted as she laid her head on Iruma's chest, "I'm sorry, Clara, if it weren't for that...I'd say okay, but I don't feel like dying today,"

"Boo...daddy won't kill you, Iruma-kins...he knows we're bond mates and we completed the bond an-"

"And it looked like he was ready to rip my limbs off, Clara," Iruma wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back as he kissed the top of her head, "When we have a day to ourselves, I promise, Clara," Clara hummed and nodded before Iruma's ring started to glow and a black smog poured out of the band before screeching in pain before it faded back into the ring.

The two looked down at the ring before looking at each other and Iruma slightly frowned as he shook his head, "Did...did you see that, Clara?"

"I...I think so, Iruma-kins, but that's never happened after the principal gave the ring some of his magic...is it hungry again?"

"I...I really hope not because I don't want it attacking you in the middle of the night," Iruma looked at the clock and frowned before he shook his head, "It's late and grandpa is probably sleeping...I hope it can last until then so it doesn't hurt you," Clara slightly frowned and nodded before she nuzzled closer to Iruma and fell into an uneasy slumber as Iruma stared at the ring with narrowed eyes.

I was going to have this one out before the New Year, but I was having some wirter's block while working on it. I needed Iruma to be Gimmel sooner than canon for the purpose of an idea I have. Enjoy.
