The students of the Misfit Class were given a task.
If they do not all advance to the Dalet rank before their second year,
they will be kicked out of the Royal One, which they worked so hard to acquire.
Iruma and his friends must attempt the rank-advancement exams.
First up... The Harvest Festival!
My Very Own Magic
"My Very Own Magic."
The third day of the Harvest Festival.
In this extreme game of survival, there are many students who no longer have
the energy to hunt down any more magical beasts...
Block 1
Or perhaps not.
El Blast!
Melongator
The students surviving the third day have found
the most efficient ways of hunting down their prey.
This makes five!
For example, the strategy of aggressively attacking.
What?! Well, we've got six!
Well, two of those are puny, so you've only got 0.5.
Zero Point Five
Huh?! Quit using hard words!
Are you stupid?!
Don't call me stupid, you moron!
How is that hard?
Let's go to a rocky place next.
You got a problem?
You want a piece of me?
You know...
It's been difficult finding other boss-class beasts like that Hundred Flapple.
But we're not going to let anyone get ahead of our victory.
We'll be hunting down any high-value magical beast on sight.
I want to knock, too!
Stop that!
Yay!
Block 2
We're awesome!
It took all night, but we did it!
Those who can't rely on their strength...
Wow!
We got a Tortoiseshell Cow!
Tortoiseshell Cow
It's the real deal!
...rely on working in great numbers.
That's 3,800 points!
We're awesome!
We might just win this thing!
This is our first boss-class beast!
Yay, yay!
But how are we supposed to get this back to the tower?
Guess we'll all just have to carry it.
Meanwhile, a certain student was standing out...
Team A was defeated in the hot springs area!
Team B has returned!
We retrieved some ingredients!
Your Majesty!
You're so beautiful!
...by using her charms to control magical beasts.
Your Majesty!
We'll give you anything!
Other strategies include...
You traitor!
Deception!
Heh! Now the points...
go to you, my beloved!
Oh, how lovely.
Seduction!
I played lots with these doggos!
Perfect 10!
Well, let's head to the Reporting Tower.
Everyone used the best of their abilities in the first half.
There are now less than two days left in the Harvest Festival.
I will announce the interim results.
Asmodeus: 21,800 points.
Sabnock

Sabnock: 18,600 points.

Those are the ones who are above the threshold to win.
Why is the Harvest Festival your final training for the year?
Because it's that important.
The festival is a test of survival.
This forest is a miniature version of the netherworld.
Encounters with chance or dilemma come in equal measure.
It's filled with excitement, thrills, despair, and inspiration.
This is where you discover whether you can survive the netherworld.
The one who ends up on top
will receive the most renowned title.
The same title given to every victor in the event's history.
And that title is...
The Young Demon King Candidate...
The Young King!!
The Young King!
The names of the students I called out earlier with the most points...
You are all currently closest to becoming the Young King.
Make sure you're all aware of each other. That is all.
You're quite the instigator...
There is currently...
one fool of a student with zero points,
who has somehow survived but is nowhere to be found.
I don't know where you are or what you're doing,
but if you're going to forfeit, go on and do it.
But if you plan on winning...
Hurry up and claw your way to the top, you fool!
That is all from me.
Oh?
What's this? Kalego-sensei, are you actually playing favorites?
What? I only issued a warning because it'd be a pain to have to retrieve him.
Really? Really?
Please stop.
Hey, so is the Young King or whatever number one?
Yup, number one.
Guess they mean me, then.
Nonsense!
The title of Young King was made for me!
Isn't that right, Honor Student?
How worrisome...
Hm? Is the one who's missing...
Iruma-chi...
Iruma-sama...
Curse you! Stop following me!
I'm going to tell Iruma-sama how I did with my training first!
Non, non, you are wrong.
I'm seeing him first! I can't be away from Iruma-chi any longer!
Today's the day I have him give me head pats and tell me I'm a good girl!
Well, I've been getting by with Iruma-sama's face on my hellphone's lock screen!
I get priority!
No, I get to go first!
Because I'm his super-greatest BFF!
And I'm his number one friend!
Being his super-greatest BFF is better!
No, being his number one friend means I am closest to him!
I mean, I'm sure he'll compliment me, at least.
Oh, we'll see about that!
I'm going to see Iruma-sama as soon as possible...
I'm going to see Iruma-chi as soon as possible...
...and have him praise me!
Concentrate!
You can't shoot the enemy like that!
Right!
It's because you aren't aiming properly!
You lack resolve! Does that frustrate you?
Yes!
Then get up! One more time!
Right!
You're not going to go see him?
Nope. What about you, Azz-Azz?
I suddenly have something to do.
Me, too.
I'm going to train even more!
We saw just how much Iruma-sama was training.
It's okay...
I'll have faith and wait for you!
First off, we encouraged each other, saying we'd both do our best!
I'm going to show him just how well I've done and have him praise me.
I see.
You seem to be having a rough time, though...
What's up? He's trying to act all tough.
We'd probably win if we provoked him now.
There's nothing to fear! Iruma-sama will be back!
Though I want to run to his side immediately,
I will... I will endure this!
Yes. Don't push yourself too hard.
Hold back. Hold back.
Are you sure?
Tsk, tsk.
A proper woman doesn't chase after men.
She lets men chase after her!
If I can become a proper woman and have Iruma-chi praise me,
I can endure this!
I can!
My, how lovely.
But...
The truth is, I wanna see you really bad, so hurry back!
Iruma-chi!
Iruma-sama!
I miss Azz-kun and Clara...
Ali-san!
Jeez!
How many times are you gonna mutter that?
Well... It's keeping me sane.
Toto's Ruins
Surface Entrance Exit
Underground
I got out of the ruins, but fell right in front of the exit,
Current location?
Toto's Ruins
so I think I can get out if I keep climbing up.
You sure did fall.
Hup.
You lost consciousness from the illusion, and I protected you!
I even picked up the Seed of Beginnings for you.
Oh, great one! I'm sorry to have troubled you!
That was a nasty spell they used on you.
Who knows what would've happened if that illusion didn't wear off?
Li'l Iru! Wake up already!
Yeah, thanks.
And because of that, I'm even more determined.
I know exactly where I belong now,
so I need to hurry up and get back.
Right.
But how do you plan on doing that?
At the rate we're going, we'll reach the surface in... a year?
Three years?
Ten years?
What? Naphula-san?!
Huh? Wait, you came down here to get me?
Were you worried about me?
Thank yo—
Huh? Why don't I fly?
Um... I'm not very good at flying.
Sorry...
Actually, I hurt my leg, too.
Naphula-san, you don't need to worry about me. Go on and head up...
Nigi nigi greens! You had some?
Nigi nigi greens.
Nigi Nigi Greens
If even one drop of water falls on them, they grow 30 meters.
I learned about these in my books!
With just a little bit of water,
they grow like whoosh, nigi nigi greens...
They love dark, dreary places...
Huh?
But we need water for nigi nigi greens.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
A watering pot? Why do you have one of those?
Okay, we just need to climb this.
Can I... climb this?
If only my leg wasn't hurt...
My hurt... leg?
It's all better!
Huh?
So humans in the netherworld have powers like this...
I just got a great idea!
Sorry about this!
I'm a human in the netherworld. So...
I'm gonna climb right up... with my own magic.
Yis...
This Hell Grey tea is quite exquisite.
What the?!
I'm going to get through...
this hardship!
Huh?!
What the hell is that?!
Well, now, I think I've seen that before!
Yes...
The only one who can do something like this...
is him!
Oh. Hi, camera demon.
Iruma has come back alive!
Lead-kun! I got the Seed of Beginnings!
Oh, my...
Pardon...
You fool! What in the world is this ruckus?!
Can't you come back out quietly?!
Kalego-sensei?! Sorry!
I didn't mean to make this much of a scene.
Oh, this is called nigi nigi greens, and—
I don't care about that.
Are you hurt? Are you going to report what you've collected?!
Are you going to forfeit?
Huh? Oh, no...
I'm going to win!
Oho, that's quite the declaration!
I wonder if something happened.
Well, in that case...
Hurry up and get back to hunting, you zero-point-last-place fool!
That's right... I have zero points.
I need to meet back up with him quick!
Okay.
I'm going to meet back up with Lead-kun.
Let's go back in time a bit to the second day of the Harvest Festival.
Lead parted ways with Iruma to search for the Vase of Endings...
and came face to face with a genie.
Do you seek the Vase of Endings, demon child?
Let's battle!
A hundred obstacles...
This is basically a game!
Fear death, demon child.
My courage is put to the test.
Wake up...
Unexpected encounters...
Life's a game... Might as well have fun with it.
Life's a Game
Sorry, but... I'm an expert at games.
I'm gonna say goodbye to my old self...
and seize the light!
Go!
Devi!
So yeah, I worked myself to the bone and finally got it.
The Vase of Endings!
Vase of Endings
I was totally an awesome protagonist.
Apparently.
All we need now is the Seed of Beginnings that Iruma-kun's looking for, I think?
If the two of us manage to make
the Legend Leaf bloom with these two key items...
Your Majesty!
Look over here!
Winner
Winner. The Young King Lead.
The Young King Lead
Not bad... Not bad at all!
Guess it's time to start my fan club...
Wait, now's not the time for that!
I need to figure out my autograph.
Let's see... Lead... Le... Shaxstar...
Here are some more
interim results!
Yis.
Before we announce how many points the rest of the students have...
Let's go back over some tips!
The points that we're announcing are based on
everything you've turned in to the Reporting Tower.
Make sure you get to the Reporting Tower as soon as possible!
Oh, by the way...
Shax Lead-kun from the Misfit Class!
Huh? Wait, me?
That vase in your hand!
It's not exactly an ingredient, but that alone is worth 20,000 points!
Did you know that?
Huh? What?!
The Vase of Endings
You should probably turn that in immediately, or things may get a bit risky...
Be careful now!
Ah, so this vase is worth 20,000 points.
I had no idea!
Yikes, that was close.
Why would you announce that?
20,000 points?
Did you hear that?
Someone has 20,000 points.
Where is he?
What?
Why is that vase worth so many points, you ask?
Believe or not, it happens to be for the Legend Lea—
Oh! Hey, now! That's a secret!
Why announce that?!
The Vase of Endings?
Hey, did he say Legend Leaf?
Hey!
Now everyone knows I have 20,000 points!
And you even mentioned the Legend Leaf!
Yay!
You're totally enjoying every second of this!
It's so on purpose! Damn you demons!
I'm gonna keep a low profile. I can't stand out at all.
I'm the air. I'm the air. I'm the air.
I'm grass. Just grass. A rock?!
Iruma has come back alive!
Lead-kun! I got the Seed of Beginnings!
Let's meet back up at the husband and wife stones!
Oh, way to go, Iruma-kun!
You got the seed, too! Way to go!
But you know...
Why announce that?!
The vase that was once sparkly is emitting a stench of death...
Oh no, oh no, oh no. This is really bad.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows now...
The Iruma and Lead team has the Legend Leaf...
Meaning we're the students closest to getting 100,000 points.
If someone steals these,
they'll immediately turn everything around and win with 100,000 points.
Of course they're gonna come after us!
Lead.
Where are you?
Shax...
Lead...
They're totally after me.
Come on out!
I'm doomed if they find me!
I have no chance of fighting them off.
But this vase is our lifeline!
I'm still a man! I'm not gonna let anyone take it!
Oh?
No matter what...
Hello there.
No matter what...
Nope!
It's been a while, Su-ki-ma!
Su
Ki
Ma
Come to think of it, you guys are wearing weird clothes!
What the heck?
These are our noble battle outfits.
Our master recommended them to us!
What?! Master recommended those?!
I'm so jealous, damn it!
O-Ooh! Suddenly they look way cooler!
The Dorodoro Brothers continue to have the wrong idea about who the master is.
Next Episode Preview
You've grown so much in the time I hadn't seen you, Li'l Iru.
I was super-duper-duper-duper surprised
when he declared that he'd win the Harvest Festival.
My boy has grown so much...
What am I reminiscing for?!
Who am I? Li'l Iru's grandpa?
Oh, Li'l Iru's a big eater and quite the troublemaker.
Next time on Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun,
"Lead's Distress."
