[KALEGO grunts] - So, who's this misfit class?
You are in charge of these heathens,
aren't you?
That's what I told you!
Who's this Iruma?
Mm?
Iruma is the grandson of the Chairdemon.
Eh?
Hmm.
And he's the demon who earned the right
to open the Royal One.
Ah.
Like a butterfly.
Flutterific.
Woo-eee!
Get in my belly.

I wonder if I could eat you all.

And from what Opera says, Master should return
to his normal state in about an hour.
Should, you say?
We should let him catch some Z's for the time being.
At least until start time.

Hi hi!
Porokins has arrived!
[ALL] Huh?
[inhales]
Oh my devi!
It's been ages since I've been in here.
Seeing the Royal One conjures so many memories
about me and Derki.
I cannot allow this, Lord Amduscias--
Poro.
- Lord Poro.
To do this right before showtime is un--
What's the problem?
I just wanted a look at the-- huh?
Stupid brats!
What in the Netherworld are you doing, huh?
Why in the hell is this scrawny little caterpillar
deigning to make contact with my Derki's seat
without permission?
[sobs] Shoo the pest away.
But the fact that it touched Derki's precious seat
is revolting.
Just who is this demon, Professor?
Should we run?
No need.
This is Lord Amduscias.
He's one of the judges for today's festival.
[ALL] Huh?
[LEAD] The former 13 Crown?
That's precisely right.
I've come on a mission to see the demon
who thinks himself mad enough to steal the classroom
of my beloved Lord Derkila.
The Royal One is a love nest filled with the memories
of my lord and yours truly.
[GIRL] Wow!
I refuse to let some rascal take it away from me!
Now reveal yourself, Iruma, as I personally pass judgment
on whether or not you're truly worthy of walking
these hallowed halls of debaucher--
He's right here.
You've got to be kidding me!

Hmm.
Eh.
Ah!

But that pudgy little blue ball isn't

[JAZZ] This guy's emotions shift gears quick.
This blobby thing using Derki's classroom
is absolutely outrageous!
And now I look foolish barging in here to declare war.
You're declaring war on us?
I'm privy to the details of your "assignment."
Unless each and every one of you reach daleth rank,
this room will be snatched away, correct?
And given that I'm the judge
who happens to want the Royal One
out of your possession,
your situation's utterly hopeless.
It must suck to be you.

You're judging us too early, Master of Sound.
While staying true to one's desires is commendable,
counting us out before the battle even begins

You, young man, are handsome indeed!
Ye gods!
At this rate, Sabro's gonna get devoured!

I give you a tale of the ancient Netherworld.
A victim of deception,
a certain prince was stripped of his royal seat.
He found himself in a land inhabited by spirits.
He was timid and modest,
small and frail.
However, the spirits embraced the prince.
"Heed our words.
If rising to the top is your desire,
you must develop the most insatiable greed!"
[heavy drums]
[music continues]
The spirits then offered the prince more wisdom.
"We shall show you the way,
a path to vengeance."

"Discard your hesitations.
Desire power and knowledge.
Face those who would dare mock you.
And bare your fangs!"

[STUDENT 3] That voice belongs to a student?
Everyone's hyped, that they are.
Those guys really showed up swinging
right out of the gates.
But it was pretty amazing, though.
We may have bitten off more than we can chew.
Wow!
That was the coolest!
- So you're back with us? - Master Iruma!
Yeah, because that was incredible, wasn't it?
Every class has given this a lot of thought.
They clearly came up with great ideas, rehearsed a bunch,
and all had a blast.
Now we get to share how amazing this is together.
The music festival is so much fun!
[ALL] Yeah.
That's true.
But in the end, we'll be the victors, Master.
Yeah!
This is becoming most interesting.
To get fired up, we need worthy rivals, that we do.
[ROBIN] All right, folks.
It's time to hear what our judges have to say.
Judges, if you would,
I think we're ready for some scores!
Ooh, 5 points out of 6!
A high score from Lady Kyupa right off the bat.
That was a heart-stopping performance
if there ever was one.
Precious to devi.
[ROBIN] Ooh, looks like 4 points from Ms. Meimei.
Do we have a winner when the show's barely beg--
ah.
Lord Amduscias gives 3 points?
That's kind of sort of harsh, no?
No, it's a fair evaluation.
Second row, third from the right.
You flubbed a few of the lyrics, right?
And you there started the song on the wrong cue.
As for you, child, pitchy.
A few of you had scratchy throats, as well.
And while you have the voice of a star,
horsey boy,
you left the chorus in your wake.
I don't hate the virility.
But playing by yourself is no fun.
Your sound is still young.
So do all you can to nurture that potential.
Ah!
Right!
[PORO] I also want the contact info of the two
on the right side, second row.
Thank you. [STUDENT] Huh?
[JAZZ] Woof.
That ex-13 Crown is tough.
Only 3 points?
Isn't this superb motivation, Master Iruma?
Sure is.
I get the feeling that demon has the strictest standards.
Hmm.
I seem to recall you picking a fight with them earlier.
Huh?
[ROBIN] Next is class C's "A Concert of Chaos--
Rock Versus Classic."
