The next morning, our protagonists woke from their slumber. Iruma is extremely nervous about going to a demon school, but Izuna is quite chill about it. Izuna believes that he can protect Iruma no matter the situation and that everything'll be ok.
'LIKE HELL IT WILL!' Izuna argues with the narrator.
'Today's activity is nothing of importance, the practical classes are what worries me! Iruma doesn't have wings to fly nor magic to use and manipulate. The moment classes related with those two things begin, it'll be his end!' Izuna thinks while keeping a calm façade.
The brothers then proceed to enjoy their breakfast. Both of them calmly devour the piles of food, making Opera and Sullivan sweat drop.
Iruma was thinking of resigning Babirus due to him being a human but Izuna managed to convince him not to do that, he alleged that while being on the school was dangerous it could also be more dangerous not doing anything. If demons have authorities and if Sullivan is as clumsy as he is, sooner or later the police will come to confirm if he has a human in here, so, it would be bettor for Iruma to make a name for himself as a "demon".
Izuna and Iruma left their home.
"Why is life so hard?" Iruma.
"Life's not so hard, you were just given the back end of a pie and now realize that it has maggots in it." Izuna.
"Why's that analogy so weird?!" Iruma.
"Yei! Iruma-kun and Izuna-kun are going to school!" Sullivan.
"Yare, yare, you're truly a troublesome chairman. Even if you wanted to adopt someone to be your grandson, did it had to be a human?" Opera.
"Yeah, you're right…I must make sure he becomes a splendid demon!" Sullivan tries to follow the duo while holding a camera but Opera stops him.
"Where do you think you're going? You have work to do here." Opera.
While walking towards the school, Iruma asks Izuna about the school.
"Are you fine with this?" Iruma asks.
"About what?" Izuna.
"About being part of the deal and being enrolled into a school, I know you despised going to school back at home." Iruma.
"Yeah, I hate school. A simple rumor can be poison to your reputation and no one will want to be close to you, plus, this appearance doesn't exactly help. But here, here I'm as normal as anywhere else." Izuna.
"I see." Iruma.
"Besides, now we're legally brothers and that's good, so all in all, everything's A OK." Izuna smiles at Iruma.
Iruma looks the smile of his brother and he also gets happy.
'When was the last time I've seen such a smile from him? Perhaps, this'll turn out just fine.' Iruma thought.
Once the duo arrived, they saw Alice kneeling on the floor waiting for them.
"Good morning, Iruma-sama, Izuna-sama!" Alice.
"Hi, Asmodeus-kun." Iruma.
"Yo, Azz." Izuna.
"Nii-san!" Iruma.
"Don't worry, Iruma-sama. I'm honored to receive such nickname from your brother. You're also welcome to call me that if you wish to do it. now, let me carry your bag." Azz.
Iruma and Izuna hear the comments of the public about Azz's current situation.
"Wow, he managed to subdue the top freshmen in just a day."
"How cool is that, such a powerful subordinate from the get-go."
"And look at that other demon besides him, he looks imposing."
"I've heard that he's, his brother."
The newfound trio leave the scene and are now on tracks to their next class, the familiar summoning.
"I wonder what kind of familiar will I summon." Iruma.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Izuna.
[Izuna explained Iruma some of the first year's classes before their classroom division.]
"Indeed, Iruma-sama and Izuna-sama has this small matter in the bag!" Azz-
{Is this really ok?} Iruma to Izuna.
{Chill, I've done my fair share of research about demons on earth. Summoning a familiar involves a blood pact, no one can break it and no one can go against it. even if you summon the worst being in all hell, it will NEVER be able to harm you.} Izuna.
{But, I'm not a demon, will this be fine?} Iruma.
{This is the fun part. Humans don't summon magical beast like us demons do, they summon something more…interesting.} Izuna.
{What, what is it?} Iruma.
{Spoiler alert.} Izuna chuckle after seeing his brother worried expression.
'Well, it's not like something bad will happen. "Worst case" he ends up summoning me.' Izuna.
Once the trio made their way to the class. The curator arrived with his imposing aura.
"Silence! My name is Naberius Kalego, I'll be your curator during your familiar summoning. I'm here not only to oversee and rate you and your familiars, I'm here to divide the trash from the average…" Kalego.
Kalego begins to walk towards Iruma.
"For example: Those who rely on their grandfather's position and chanted some stupid spell during the opening ceremony, endangering all those around him. Especially if they pick a fight right after said scheme and destroy part of the premises. Such people need to be expelled from the school immediately!" Kalego.
Izuna gets in between Iruma and Kalego and looks at him with a piercing gaze.
"You done? I thought this class was about summoning a familiar, not some lecture about recklessness. If you're done, do what you're being paid to do, and then get the fuck outta my sight." Izuna gives Kalego a wicked smile before he scoffs and backs to his place.
"In short, incompetent students will be force to withdraw from this school right away." Kalego.
Kalego takes out a device that explains the steps to summoning a familiar.
1. Draw a circle on a parchment with your blood.
2. Walk into the magic circle.
3. Put the parchment into the flames.
4. A familiar will emerge from the smoke.
*BAM*
Callego destroyed the device.
"That damn guide." Kalego.
'He hit it.'
'He must really hate cute things.'
"I have already drawn my demonic symbol on the parchments, if there's some sort of falsifications, I'll notice right away." Kalego looks at Iruma and Izuna.
Iruma shivers and Izuna flips him off.
"Now, line up and shut up!" Kalego.
The students line up one after another, waiting for their time to summon their familiars. One after another, the freshmen start their summoning and each of them get a familiar. Iruma is dumbfounded by the different creatures that are spawning that he has never seen before.
"Iruma-sama, Izuna-sama, it's your turn to summon your familiars." Azz spoke while being surrounded by his Gorgon Snake.
"Me first." Izuna took his parchment and showed it to Kalego.
'I do wonder what will I summon. Hope it's nothing too bad. Oh well, I was the type of guy to win competitive matches in Pokémon with the worst natures so…' Izuna thought.
Izuna drew the blood circle and put his parchment on the flame. While other student's familiars were summoned with white smoke, Izuna's summoning was a blackout of black tar smoke.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A figure spawn from the circle. It has two wings, four limbs, four heads and three tails. The creature's magic was so powerful, that Kalego had to summon his Cerberus in case it attacked others.
The creature is…A Dragon, a dragon no bigger than Izuna himself.
'Sweet, I wonder if it can shoot a laser from each head.' Izuna.
"A-a-a-a-a…... A DRAGON!" Students.
The room enters into an uproar state due to the appearance of a dragon.
"Azz, explain why everyone is yelling like crazy bitches." Izuna.
"Hai, Izuna-sama! A dragon is a creature that not everyone has the ability to summon, even amongst the 13 Crowns of the Netherworld, only 2 of them have dragons as familiars. I'm so touched! Having a side-master that has a dragon as his familiar, worthy of your greatness, Izuna-sama!" Azz.
"Nice. So, nice meeting ya." Izuna pats his dragons' heads.
Meanwhile, Kalego is looking at the dragon warily.
'To think he could summon a dragon, only the highest noble demons have a slither of a chance to summon one, even Majin's probability of summoning one is small. Who exactly is him?' Kalego.
Kalego writes down Izuna's score and proceeds to call Iruma and prays to see him fail. (How ironic, a Demon praying.)
Iruma follows the steps one by one and then waits for his familiar. A purple flash of light covers the entire room and then out of the purple smoke comes out…A wild Kalego-sensei, or more like half of him.
The Uproar begins once again.
"What have you done to me, you impudent brat?!" Kalego.
"I really don't know!" Iruma.
"Stop it! Stop the summoning ritual!" Callego.
"Yes!" Iruma goes to Kalego's other half and begins to pull.
"ARGH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! YO WANT TO BREAK MY BODY APART?! Stupid brat, in this situation you have to push my body not pull!" Kalego.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Iruma begins to push the legs upwards.
"NOOOOO! I meant from here, push me from here!" Kalego.
Before Iruma could push Kalego, Izuna stops him.
"Izuna Nii-san?" Iruma.
"Well, well, well, Kalego-sensei. Looks like the tables have turned." Izuna grins.
"What the hell are you doing he-" Kalego was interrupted.
"Yare, yare, should I push then?" Izuna grabbed Kalego's legs and feinted to push them.
"Stop it! What do you want?!" Kalego.
"Alrighty! Let me take my camera for a second…" Izuna takes out a camera from his shirt and gives it to Azz.
"Azz, take as much pictures as you can to immortalize this moment, the moment in which the guardian dog of Babirus becomes a little pup!" Izuna shows a sadistic smile.
"Scary!"
"Crazy!"
"Is he really Iruma's brother!?"
"Nii-san!" Iruma.
"I'm sorry, Iruma, but I can't stand those who look down on everyone! This pup needs some discipline!" Izuna.
"YAMERO!" Kalego.
Izuna pushes Kalego's legs upwards and he enters the summoning circle, Azz capturing each moment of course. A pink cloud ended the summoning and from it appeared the new Kalego-sensei. He became a small fluffy being with only hits purple-black horns, limbs, eyes and wings as well with an extremely fluffy white fur.
Kalego looks at himself and then falls to the ground from the shock. Izuna is laughing his ass off alongside his dragon and Azz takes more pictures of Kalego on the ground.
"Sensei, are you alright?! What happened to your body?!" Iruma.
"Iruma-sama! Your courage has let me perplexed once again!" Azz.
"But why?!" Iruma.
"You've turned Kalego-sensei into your familiar!" Azz.
"A demon making another demon its familiar?!"
"That's impossible!"
"You must've been angry at Kalego for the way he shamelessly talked about you earlier, and even commanded your elder brother to take action during this process to ensure his absolute humiliation!" Azz.
"No, that wasn't my intention at all!" Iruma.
"No, this is not possible! No way I'll ever become your familiar! Don't joke with me you insolent brat! Cancel the contract right now!" Kalego.
Kalego somewhat touches Iruma's hand and a painful shocking sensation runs inside his body, leaving him on the floor injured.
"SENSEI!" Iruma.
"See? Not even the all-powerful guardian of Babirus can do squat against the blood pacts of a familiar." Izuna.
{You-you knew this would happen!} Iruma to Izuna.
{Yeah, when humans summon creatures from the Netherworld, it's demons what they're summoning. And whosever seal is in the parchment at the moment of summoning, is the demon that'll be summoned. In other words, Kalego's parchment + you summoning = Kalego becoming your familiar.} Izuna to Iruma.
Iruma's face becomes blanks and he looks at the defeated sensei on the ground. The class was stopped and Iruma and Kalego went to the principal's office to undo the contract, which, if breached, can cause the death of both Iruma and Kalego. Kalego was so in shock that he got sick and had to rest in day for the entire next day.
Iruma's rank became unmeasurable and Izuna got a perfect score along Asmodeus. He also received the pictures and learned about Kalego's past as Opera's chore boy. Izuna was just getting started with the humiliation road that was awaiting Kalego.
The day ended in a second and the next day came by. Iruma, Izuna and Azz where walking through the corridors while looking at the subjects they'll be having while attending Babirus.
"The basics of demons, Incantations, drug developments, Art of Torture…" Iruma.
"Such delightful and practical set of class subjects." Azz said happily.
"Indeed, The Art of Torture seems extremely interesting." Izuna said with an evil expression.
"Nii-san, you need to calm about these types of stuffs." Iruma.
"Party-pooper." Izuna pouts.
while walking towards the Distribution Room, they hear some weird noises coming from the other side of the corridor.
"ROOOOOOOLLLLLIIIIIING!"?
*SMASH* *CRASH*
A strange figure rolls and smashes and crashes against a pile of boxes of the wall.
"Hey, are you alright?!" Iruma.
"STRIKE!" The demoness answered.
"A girl?" Iruma.
"No, that's Valac Clara. She's known as an insufferable, chaotic, bothersome freshmen that annoys anyone and everyone she meets." Azz.
"HI! I'M CLARA, MY RIGHT FOOT'S NAME IS CONNOR AND THE LEFT FOOT IS MURPH! SORRY! I CAME TO TAKE MY MATERIALS BUT I JUST COULDN'T STOP PLAYING WITH THOSE BOXES! IT'S LIKE KABLAM! WANNA SEE ME DOING IT AGAIN?! I'LL DO IT!" Clara.
Clara begins to pile up the boxes again and Izuna looks at the girl with pity.
'Those eyes that feign being happy, that attention seeking actions. She's…just like I was. Always being rejected, never taken seriously, always alone, always sad. I've got to tell her to stop lying to herself.' Izuna thought.
A teacher sees the quartet and, casting a spell, throws them gently into the schoolyard, alongside their class materials.
"Iruma-chi, Izuna-chi, Azz-Azz, what'll we play? I've got lots of toys to play with Morning Star Flail, Munch-Munch Picture Book a Bloody Collapse Household set. Let's play house." Clara.
{Let's run, Iruma-sama.} Azz to Iruma.
{Eh?} Iruma.
{Iruma, let's stay.} Izuna.
{Izuna-sama?} Azz.
{She's the same as I.} Izuna whispered those words and Iruma understood immediately.
Iruma got up and walked towards Clara.
"So, what'll be my role?" Iruma asks.
Clara's smile shines brightly and she gives Iruma a sign with the word "dog" written on it.
"You'll be the dog." Clara.
Iruma begins to act like a dog.
"Good boy…" Clara.
"Iruma-sama!" Azz.
"Azz-Azz, you'll be my husband but also the improper neighbor's widow." Clara.
"Like hell I'll be!" Azz.
"Let's play, Azz-kun." Iruma.
Azz put an apron and a bow in his head in a matter of milliseconds.
"I want a divorce, ya ugly bitch!" Azz.
Clara slams a giant axe and tries to cut Azz in half but misses.
"What the hell was that?" Azz.
"It's a battle till death for the divorce, the ultimate climax. Izuna-chi, you gotta stop us." Clara.
"Alright!" Izuna.
Izuna jumps in the middle and grabs Clara's axe, he twists the blade of the axe and destroys it.
"I am the Demon King Derkila, I order you two to stop this childish feud." Izuna announced with a sign in his chest with the words: "Demon King".
Azz and Clara bowed to him, Clara roleplaying and Azz following orders, and Izuna put his hand on Iruma.
"Let your dog decide! Who lives and who dies in this divorce will be enforced by the dog you raised!" Izuna.
Iruma was having a tough time processing Izuna's bullshit until he finally understood, that he was forced to kill, not literally, one of the two demons.
After a bit of hasty decisions, new games and Iruma being mad at Izuna, the duo of Iruma and Azz was finally tired of playing and is now resting on the ground.
"Seriously? Just two hours of constant playing and you're tired? I'm gonna raise your training regime up a notch, Iruma." Izuna looked at Iruma with sad eyes.
Iruma was about to say something when Clara interrupted.
"You ok there? Here!" Clara began to pull some bottles of water from her yellow pockets and gave them to Iruma and Azz.
"T-thanks. How did you do that?" Iruma.
"Hehe, that's my bloodline ability, I can pull out anything I've seen before." Clara.
"Wow." Iruma.
'A bloodline ability, huh? I really haven't put that much thought into it but, I should have one of those as well, right? The thing is, how can I discover what is it?' Izuna's thoughts were interrupted when he saw a group of demons talking to Clara.
On the outline of the matter, everything would be explained by them being Clara's friends, however, Izuna knows a piece of shit when he sees one, and those guys, are pieces of shit. Clara came back after "gifting" her "friends" some drinks and snacks and then they left. Iruma also notices this and tries to ask Clara about it, to which the girl only says that it's an exchange for them to play with her.
"So…um…would you guys play with me again…sometime?" Clara asked shyly.
"Sure!" Iruma/Izuna.
"Iruma-sama! Let's quit." Azz.
The trio began their journey towards while Izuna's expression began to get darker and darker.
"Izuna-sama, what's wrong?" Azz.
"Alice, if you can't understand what's happening, that means that you have a long way to go before being fit to be Iruma's left-hand man." Izuna answers.
"Yes, Izuna-sama, may you enlighten me?!" Azz.
"That girl, Clara, she may act like a nuisance, but that's just the way someone desperate to interact with others attempt communication. Don't be too hard on her." Izuna.
"Yes!" Azz.
"Also…those guys that received snacks from her…give me all their information by the end of the week and stand down afterwards, I'll show them true cruelty." Izuna's expression was hidden under a cumulous of black magic.
Iruma flinches at Izuna's stare and he know what'll happen. In the human word, when Iruma was 10, he got bullied out of some money that he wanted to use to buy meat and eat it with Izuna, Izuna got wind of this and retaliated against the bullies without Iruma knowing. The bullies disappeared for 10 whole days, the police received an anonymous note about their whereabouts and found the bullies tied with chains in the woods full of bruises.
Iruma asked Izuna about it, which he denied at first, but after a few weeks of being persistent about the subject, Izuna confessed about him being behind it. Iruma made a mental note about the whole incident, first: Keep his brother from doing something like that ever again, and second: Keep himself from those kinds of situations so that his brother never intervenes ever again.
A few days of playing with Clara went by and Izuna is on his own walking through Babirus, why? Because he felt that Azz was a good enough bodyguard for Iruma and that he needs to get his information updated due to Azz telling him about the outdated document he was given.
'That old-man is really a piece of work.' Izuna.
Izuna made his way towards the cafeteria and noticed a weird thing being built near Kamu-Kamu's shop. The only clear writing was a big sign with the words: "OUR BATTLER" and then a brown-haired demon with orange hat, wearing a variation of the school uniform but with a coveralls instead of the full set of shirt and pants. Besides him was a demon with a pig face and wearing a normal uniform with a hat and the uniform being green.
'That uniform gives me some Germany-Ish vibes.' Izuna thought.
The demon began to scream.
"HEYA FOLKS, WE'RE OUR BATTLER, AND IF YA HAVE SOME PROBLEMS, COME 'ERE AND SHOOT, CAUSE WE'LL SOLVE THEM FOR YA!" The demon with the orange hat spoke.
Izuna found the entire charade interesting and decided to roll with it. Soon after the statement, a small blonde demon took the seat and began to speak about his problem, Izuna decided to eavesdrop and heard them planning to stay up late at Babirus and write a love message. Izuna was intrigued by their plan and decided to tag along at night.
[At night]
After getting permission from Sullivan, which only needed a crap covered "grandpa", Izuna left his house and flew towards Babirus, he saw 5 demons painting some graffiti on the entrance walls and wanted to see their reactions once he appeared.
"Yo! What're you guys doing in here?" Izuna called the group out with his usual sadistic smile.
The group flinch and begin to discuss amongst themselves, one even tried to flee but the orange hat demon prevented him from doing so.
"W-we're doin' nuttin, we were just…Dai-sensei will explain!" The orange hat demon put the demon that tried to flee in front of him and used him as a human shield.
"Oi, Shaoron! What the hell's wrong with you!?" The demon, now known as, Dai-sensei spoke.
"Ah! Shoppi-senpai is trying to flee!" Shaoron yells as a demon dressed in an old-fashioned pilot outfit tries to flee the scene.
Izuna quickly flies and grabs Shoppi from his leg and throws him towards the group. The group catches Shoppi, who's a little dizzy from the throwing.
"You haven't answered my question. What're you doing here?" Izuna asked once again at the group.
The group gave a courageous look between each other and decided that what they had to do was…
.
.
.
.
..
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Surrender.
The group got to the ground and began to bow towards Izuna.
'Well, that was anticlimactic.' Izuna thought.
He got in front of the group and began to question them. He already knew what they were doing there but he had to admit, it was fun as hell the scared look in their faces.
"S-so…this is all Shoppi-senpai's fault." Shaoron concluded.
Shoppi gave him a punch and redirected the fault to Tonton, who then shifted the blame to Dai-sensei and finally shifted the blame to the one making the request, Mataro.
"I don't give two shits about who was the one at fault or who started this, or even who's in charge. I just asked a question and you never answered." Izuna.
"W-wait! You're not with the Student Council?!" Shaoron.
"Kid, the Student Counsil are those stuck-ups who wear that purple and red variation of the uniform, except the president, but she's another case so don't pay mind to it." Izuna.
Shaoron and his group sigh in relief as Izuna is not part of the Student Council.
"Wait! What are yer doin here then?!" Shaoron.
"Nothing special, I eavesdrop on your little plan yesterday and thought that it would be funny to give you a scare. BTW it was totally fun!" Izuna laughed in their faces.
The group either get ashamed or mad due the situation, but know that Izuna is stronger than them so, they bury their anger out of Izuna's view.
"Well, keep on the good work "We're Battler". I think our paths will cross someday in the near future." Izuna spoke as he spread his wings and flew out of their view.
Meanwhile, the group remained shocked by such student.
"Woah! I wonder if he's a third year." Shaoron.
"He was wearing casual clothes so…I wouldn't know exactly." Shoppi.
"Shoppi-senpai, aren't you also wearing an outfit different from one the school has? Even those with different designs." Tonton.
"Whatever." Shoppi.
"I wonder if he has an older or younger sister." Dai-sensei.
Shaoron kicked him in the balls and yelled the rest to keep the graffiti ongoing.
[At the Student Council Office]
Azazel Ameri, the President of the Student Council, Rank: Vav [6]. She's been observing the group of demons that had stayed at night to paint such graffiti. Right now, she's being visited by a certain demon from before.
"Izuna, grandchild of Sullivan from the Big Three, Summoner of a dragon. What brings you to my office?" Ameri asks Izuna, who's just looking at the books from a shelf.
"Me? Nothing, I was just amazed that you didn't intervene in their plot. Kinda gives me the wrong idea of this Student Council." Izuna.
"If a demon has an ambition, either go big o go home, that's the way we treat these sorts of problems." Ameri sharpens her gaze.
"Waa…. Scary! The real reason as to why I came here was just to give you a little message." Izuna.
"Message?" Ameri.
"This next three years are gonna be the most exciting, weird and abnormal years Babirus has ever had! Look forward to it, press." Izuna spoke and swiftly made his way out of the office.
Ameri looks at the window and reflects a little on Izuna's words and enters in deep thought.
[The next day]
While Izuna was killing some time, Iruma befriend Clara by playing with her for only the fun of it. Izuna also joined the fun and the quartet played a lot during the breaks, until Izuna noticed some burnt marks on Azz's uniform.
"Tch! I wanted to break every single bone in their bodies." Izuna whines.
"My deepest apologies, Izuna-sama. Iruma-sama ordered me to mediate the problem myself." Azz.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry. You followed your orders given exceptionally, worthy of left-hand-man." Izuna.
"Your praise means every-" Azz was cut off by a slime that flew towards his face.
Clara began to spawn hordes of paint slimes and a slime fight began. The quartet kept the fight until the end of the day, and with a day ending, a new day awaits our protagonists.
