03x04 - The Signal That the Harvest Festival Has Begun

[bunniefuu]

Babyls Highlands Point 13

We did everything we could.

Right, Master.

Your gloves aren't loose, right?

Right.

You've got all your equipment, right?

And you're feeling okay?

Right.

Now, remember, you can only use two arrows.

Only use them when you have no other choice.

Right!

All right.

In that case...

Bachi-go!

Whoa!

Go knock their socks off!

I'm off!

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!

The Signal That the Harvest Festival Has Begun

"The Signal That the Harvest
Festival Has Begun."

Dali-sensei
and Suzie-sensei's

Enjoy the Harvest Festival!!

Hello!

It sure is getting cold out there,
which means it's time for...

Hot pot! Don't you think?

Yis.

All the ingredients around this
time of year are filled with nutrients,

and you just keep finding
yourself wanting to eat more.

Oh, it's so good!

I'd love to feed this to the students, too.

Hey, great idea!

In that case...

Let's have them go and get these!

On their own!

The final practical training event for
the first-years, the Harvest Festival.

In the netherworld, where
it's survival of the fittest,

being able to acquire food
is the utmost priority.

This event brings out the
hunting instincts in demons,

and the way they devour life is beautiful.

Hello!

It's that time of year once again!
The Harvest Festival!

Yis!

I've prepared the field again this year.

Oho, that's our diabotany instructor for you!

The mother of all plants!

Yis!

I've placed a giant jungle behind Babyls.

In this b*ttlefield surrounded
by a fence and vines,

you will find swamps, rocks,
caves, and much more!

You will all be doing
this exam on your own.

Your rank in this event will be decided

by how many points you accumulate
from everything you gather!

Working together with
fellow students at times

but then tricking them and getting ahead
of them is the charm of this event!

Everyone, let your talents
shine through to victory!

Now, then...

MENACING

First-year rookies!

Are you ready?!

RUMBLING

Yeah!

They sure are excited.

Yis.

Winning at the Harvest
Festival is a huge honor.

Last year's winner is our very
own student council president,

Azazel Ameri-san!

Our past winners continued to
advance in rank after winning,

Past Winners

Azazel Ameri

and became prominent
figures of the netherworld!

Balam Shichiro

This means the Harvest Festival is the gateway
to successfully becoming famous demons!

Azazel Henri

There are four entrances to glory!

Make sure you're all hyped up
to advance those ranks!

Yeah!

Check this out. I bought some armor!

Now I'm as strong as a hundred demons!

No...

According to my data, the first-years
this year are the cream of the crop.

They're all formidable foes.

What?

Isn't he from the Broadcast Battler?

Even President Baraki has acknowledged
how amazing this first-year cohort is!

First-year student from
the Broadcast Battler, Warb!

Broadcast Battler Warb

Keem Svario, Tokel Fallin, and John Varno.

These guys are quite the fighters
out of the Bet-ranked students here.

Rank 2 [Bet]

Huh...

So, hey. Where's your equipment?

I didn't buy any because
I was gathering data!

Uh...

Hey, tell us more.

Well...

That devi reeks!

What is that awful smell?

My nose is all messed up!

You must be fine because you
don't have a nose, Dosa-chan.

Everyone, stay back! That's Naphula!

The smell is awful,

but apparently demons faint
if they get too close—

Rank 3 [Gimel]

Rank Gimel, Naphula the Silent.

Naphula the Silent

The first-year you must
absolutely stay away from.

They're looking at entrance number two...

Nope, no way. Definitely
avoiding entrance number two.

Number one, right? It must be number one!

Because I'm number one!

Sure.

The Dorodoro Brothers!

But aren't they second-years?

They flunked out

because they're always skipping classes
to hang out in the northern b*ttlefield!

So the rumor that they were going to
participate in the Harvest Festival was true.

First means first place, right?

I'm surprised you knew.

Dorodoro Brothers

The biggest rule-breakers of the first-years,
the Dorodoro Brothers!

Ichiro and Niro!

Let's go to entrance number one!

Those who aren't first place
on the b*ttlefield die.

Yup.

Guess number one's out of
the question, too...

Seriously?

Why are they participating, anyway?

They probably need more course credits.

You there.

Could you be a bit quieter?

I'm trying to concentrate on my books.

Um... S-Sorry.

A proper apology. I accept.

He's another favorite to win.

The most second-place
first-year ever, Orobas—

Hey, I know him!

The guy who always places second!

In the practical and written parts
of the entrance exam, he got second!

And then he placed second on
every other exam that followed!

There's even speculation that
he could probably get first,

but he's purposely placing second!

The unknown talent!

Orobas Coco

Wow...

I'm starting to think we're doomed
no matter what entrance we use.

We would've been better off not knowing.

But you know...

There's Asmodeus, who placed
first in the practical exam,

and Allocer, who placed
first on the written.

The ones I have the most hope for
are the students of the Misfit Class.

Scwhing

Wh-What the?!

M-Maybe they have some feelings
about the Misfit Class...

But if we're being honest,
they're the stars of the first-years.

They obtained the classroom
that the Demon King Derkila used,

the Royal One.

Then there's also Walter Park...

And because they're so amazing,

it's only natural that other
talented students are jealous.

But you know...

They all seem so cozy somehow.

They're so wild and carefree.

It feels like even we'd stand a chance.

Yeah, exactly.

Speak of the devil.
That's probably the Misfit Class.

Hey!

We're not gonna lose this... time...

Huh? Is that really them?

They seem different...

Or just all beat up.

Whew!

Looks like we made it in time.

Though we weren't done
working them to the bone yet.

They're a little rough around the edges,

but this is the debut of our students
after going through our training.

I'm so excited!

Guys... I almost didn't recognize you.

I'm sure we all survived some insane training.

It was so long...

It hurt so much...

I don't want to remember it.

Days filled with despair!

I've gotten another step closer
to being the Demon King.

You all look so wonderful.

How exciting.

I cannot die just yet!

Clara

So how in the world did
you end up like that?

Why aren't you answering me?

Anyway, I'm just glad
everyone seems... to be okay?

Yes, yes.

Yeah, those days filled with suffering...

Though I'm pretty sure
we had it the hardest.

What?

Hello? I had it the hardest!

No, we indeed experienced the ultimate hell.

Please, don't make me laugh.

The absurdity!

You just played games, Lead-dono!

What? Nuh-uh.

My training was way harder than
playing around in some water.

I cannot let that slide!

I'm surprised y'all are still alive.

Barely!

All of you jerks who ignored
my messages, come here!

Every day was despair!

Did you two have a fun girls' party?

More like girls' parting.

Girls' Party

Girls' Parting

Did you play circus
with some magical beasts?

Oh, how amusing.

What the heck's going on?

Are they breaking up?

Okay, let's figure this out,
once and for all.

Which team trained the hardest
and matured the most?

We'll settle this with our results
from the Harvest Festival!

Yeah!

Everyone, sorry I'm la—

What?!

Everyone seems quite
confident in their training.

Azz-kun.

Azz-kun!

Azz-kun!

H-Hello!

Hi!

I haven't seen him in so long,
I got flustered.

At first,

I was worried whether Iruma-sama had
a tutor who could properly train him.

But splendid, Iruma-sama!

It appears your training went well.

You've become even more magnificent!

No wonder you're the Demon King's vessel!

Azz-kun?

Now that I look closer,
his clothes are torn apart,

and so is he.

His training must've been really intense.

So intense that even
Azz-kun had a hard time.

No, mine was way worse!

That goes for everyone!

Well, I worked harder.

In order for us to all go up in rank,

The water was worse.

Bet.

they all did their best with training over
the past few weeks and have gotten stronger.

Well, I...

I won't lose, either.

Right...

Let's all do our absolute best
and give it our all!

Okay, let's do this!

He cheered me on...

Just as Iruma-sama has said!

We all...

We all?

I swallowed my tears and parted from
Iruma-sama for the sake of my training,

and now is the time to show those results...

But we're going to be separated again?!

I hadn't anticipated that!

I thought I was done being
separated from Iruma-sama!

Asmodeus Alice.

All of his hard work was for the
sake of standing next to Iruma.

It was not to raise his rank,

because he's already Dalet rank anyway.

Rank 4 [Dalet]

He's already met the requirement
to stay in the Royal One.

But if Iruma-sama insists
on all of us splitting up...

But then again...

Hm? What is the matter?

If you need to go to the bathroom,
take care of that now!

That's not it!

Hey, Iruma-kun.

They're underestimating us.

Um... I can't seem to find Clara.

Huh? Clarin?

Come to think of it,
I don't think I've seen her.

All right, everyone.

It's about time to take off!

Yis.

The time limit is 6,666 minutes.

minutes

This grand event will last about four days.

Gather at the entrance you plan to use!

Yeah!

Student Council Office

It's about to start.

I heard that the students
are phenomenal this year.

I wonder who's coming up.

All right!

Before we all split up,
Misfit Class, gather round!

I'm sure everyone has
plenty they want to say...

But let's all agree on something right now.

Okay, let's hear the cheer.

Here, Iruma-kun.

Whisper, whisper, whisper...

Huh?! I-I have to say that?!

What?!

We're all able to take this
rank-advancement exam together.

We all endured our training for this day!

Let's give it our all and
get through this challenge!

To achieve our goal!

All right, tell them, Iruma-kun!

If you hold us back, I'll kick your a*s!

Bring it on, jackass!

All right!

Who will be the one to signal
the start of the Harvest Festival?

Three!

Two!

One!

Start!

Yeah! Hunting time!

Go, go, go!

It's all about speed!

Got it!

Lightspeed Mushroom

Lightspeed mushroom.

It runs stupidly fast.

No poison. Ten points.

The Harvest Festival is all about points.

I
got
it!

You get more points depending on
how hard each ingredient is to get.

Try to get ingredients worth the
most points and hand them in.

Fake

By the way, any counterfeits
will get you disqualified.

Balam-sensei will be checking.

No more counterfeits.

Also, no fighting between students.

If you directly attack them,
you'll be disqualified on the spot.

The instructors will be wandering
around to make sure you're all safe.

I got one!

These are amazingly delicious, Orias-sensei.

Come on, now...

Let's all eat some together.

We're not on a field trip.

They're great grilled,
or even cooked with rice.

Ugh, what should I do?

Sheesh.

I guess entrance one was a huge winner.

They aren't worth big points,
but there are tons of things to catch.

In the end, the one who catches
the most ingredients wins.

We're not out of the
running to win this thing!

Candy-Whiskered Tiger

We take back...

...what we said.

Run away!

We're gonna die! We're
gonna die! We're gonna die!

Why is there a huge monster
like this right at the start?!

We don't stand a chance—

Out of the way, you fools!

What?!

I am...

in an awful mood right now.

Wow!

I know I mentioned a signal, but...

It's definitely burning.

Hey, that's my student.

Mine...

That should do it.

That is the most devi intense.

Dang, Asmodeus.

He caught almost all the
ingredients around these parts.

Yeah, he basically won. But wait...

Is he crying?

To think I have to work
separately from Iruma-sama!

In that case, I'll have everyone see
how much I've grown, and...

My goal is victory! Any less is inconceivable!

My goal is crystal clear.

But there must be a better way...

To think... I'd get stuck with you again.

What can you do?

Eventually, only our class remains,

so our class is now
competing against each other.

I have to go along with this
since Iruma-san wishes it...

But now there are only
the big ones left to hunt for.

If this is going to be a team battle,

we absolutely need to split up our points.

Right.

The lowest score we can get
and still win is 50,000 points.

At the last Harvest Festival,

President Ameri won with 59,000 points,

but there are two of us,
so we'll have to get twice that much.

That means we'll need
at least 100,000 points.

Which means...

We're going after boss-class targets.

Most of the targets in the Harvest Festival
are worth 10 to 150 points.

If you were hunting alone,

you'd get as many of these
as possible to score your points.

This is the option most
students would choose.

Meanwhile,

in rare cases, there are boss-class
targets that cannot be hunted alone.

They are all giant ingredients
worth over 3,000 points,

and team formations are
necessary to take them down.

Boss-class, eh? I can hardly wait.

But there is a rarer ingredient
that surpasses even that.

And that is the legendary
ingredient... legend leaf.

Is it a fruit or other greenery?

It's a completely unknown
and secret ingredient.

Apparently it exists
somewhere in the field,

but it seems to be extremely hard to get.

If you can get it,
you receive 100,000 points!

Interesting...

But throughout history,
no one has ever found it.

It's basically a rumor right now,
and we're unsure if it actually exists.

If we hunt down boss-class targets
while looking for the legend leaf...

We're currently here.

Any suspicious areas where
the boss-class targets may exist—

The cave in the east is your best bet!

When did they...

I didn't sense them at all.

Aren't these two second-years?

The Dorodoro Brothers!

What?

I was just giving you my thoughts. Right?

Right?

We overheard what you were talking about.

Asmodeus Alice. Sabnock Sabro.

How about a little competition?

Su

Ki

Ma

Menacing

I can't help but be curious.

Why are you dressed like that?

Two ba*ls?

Two orbs...

Are you saying it's orbviously by chance?

I guess not...

You're skipping... and being cautious?

That's it!

You're wearing a disguise so that
the ingredients won't be as cautious!

That's it, isn't it?

It's not?!

Those moves...

I'm pretty sure she's just playing around!

Next Episode Preview

The Harvest Festival has finally begun!

Through his training, Iruma-sama
has become even more magnificent.

I'm sure he'll play a huge part in this event,

and I will bow down saying,
"You've slain me yet again, Iruma-sama!"

Just how shall I bow down?

Like this? Should I pose like this?

Next time on Welcome to
Demon School! Iruma-kun,

"Cunning Demons."

The Dorodoro Brothers?

My heart is dancing from excitement as I
imagine Iruma-sama's grand accomplishments!

What could you possibly want from me?!
