Ikus Elizabetta nodded firmly, then directly picked up Shesi in a princess carry.
"Eh? Eh!???"
"Not like this," Shesi felt a bit embarrassed. Being carried like this, and by a girl no less, was so embarrassing!
"Please bear with it for a moment."
Kaim Kamui looked on with envy at this scene.
...Slowly, only Iruma and Asmodeus were left on the field.
The crowd outside the field also commented on this scene.
"A long-awaited rematch of the entrance duel!"
"Go, go!"
Asmodeus instantly thought,
Since only the two of us are left, couldn't I just pass the ball to Iruma and then intentionally get hit by him?
"Iruma..." Asmodeus looked up at Iruma, only to see Iruma looking at him with a solemn expression.
Asmodeus's mind instantly recalled Iruma's strenuous special training, even running in the rain to improve his stamina.
"Intentionally lose? You should be ashamed, Asmodeus! What kind of mindset is Iruma facing this match with? Do you want to ruin him, Asmodeus!"
Suddenly, huge flames began to erupt from Asmodeus, and he directly threw off his jacket.
"I am Asmodeus Alice, a demon who values etiquette. Iruma, please allow me to be presumptuous and go all out!"
"I will... definitely catch it!" This time, Iruma's words were no longer a question.
Ameri, who had just entered, looked around, seemingly searching for something. She suddenly saw Shesi sitting next to Ikus Elizabetta, and instantly felt a little tightness in her chest and shortness of breath... She seemed very unhappy, and the other Student Council members who had followed her instinctively moved a little further away from Ameri.
"What's wrong with the President?"
"Perhaps she thinks the first-years are too weak? So she's angry?"
They didn't know that Ameri wasn't upset about that; she was just annoyed seeing Ikus Elizabetta chatting happily with Shesi.
Ameri immediately walked over and sat on Shesi's other side.
"Eh? Ameri, why are you here?"
Ameri turned her head and said,
"I came to observe the first-year exams."
"Eh? Is that so?" Shesi was a bit confused. Is the Student Council that idle? It seemed that if he joined the Student Council later, he would have less to do.
"Eh? Your foot?" Ameri suddenly noticed the bandage on Shesi's foot.
"Ah, I sprained it a bit. Rest for a while?" Shesi was a bit unsure how long he would need to rest for this sprain, given his current demon form? One second? Two seconds? But since he was in human form, maybe half an hour? But his body's physical fitness was constantly evolving towards that of a demon due to Adaptation... Hmm... "It should be fine in one kun-fen," Shesi nodded and said seriously.
"Kun?" Ameri was confused.
"Never mind that for now, you came at a good time. It's just in time for the Demon King's entrance rematch."
"Demon King?" The Student Council members behind looked at Shesi strangely, and Ikus Elizabetta also looked at Shesi with confusion. Only Ameri understood what Shesi meant, and suddenly realizing that she could understand Shesi's words while others couldn't, she inexplicably felt much better.
On the field,
"Hoo-ah!" Asmodeus directly imbued the ball with magic and then fiercely threw it towards Iruma.
"Quick, dodge it!" Everyone felt the magic attached to Asmodeus's ball and quickly told Iruma to dodge.
But at this moment, Iruma suddenly remembered the trick Opera told him this morning.
"When you're afraid, step forward, and turn that fear into excitement." Iruma directly charged towards Asmodeus, then caught the ball with his hand, but the ball's powerful thrust kept pushing Iruma back.
"This won't work, I can't hold it... Then!"
Iruma began to retreat and spin, converting most of the ball's stress into kinetic energy, then jumped up, and a vortex of flames appeared.
"Returning it!"
He directly threw the ball back towards Asmodeus, hitting Asmodeus's arm.
"Winner... Team A," Kalego announced.
"I still can't beat you, Iruma," Asmodeus said with a smile as he sat on the ground. That last shot had all his magic poured into the ball without reservation; it was his full-power attack.
"Well then... I should also retreat..." Just as Asmodeus was about to leave the field and leave the cheers to Iruma, Kaim Kamui, Shax Lead, and Gaibu Goemon directly pounced on Asmodeus's back.
"Asmodeus, Asmodeus, you were amazing, that fireball!"
"So cool!"
"Can I call you Asmodeus?"
At this moment, Shesi also walked over.
"Not only do flowers in the sun attract people, but green grass is also liked by many."
It seems both sides are quite good.
Kalego walked over and looked at Iruma.
"Originally, if Asmodeus had intentionally lost to you, I would have never allowed you to advance in rank in my life. But since both sides went all out, therefore..." Kalego handed Iruma the medal representing rank 2.
"Hereby, Iruma's rank upgrade to 2 [Bet] is acknowledged."
"Eh~ Shouldn't he directly upgrade to 3? He was so active!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Do you think upgrading is easy? To upgrade, there are still exams later."
Kalego walked to Shesi's side.
"What's wrong? Want to check on me, Kalego-sensei?" Shesi said playfully.
"This is yours," Kalego threw a rank 3 badge to Shesi.
"Eh?"
"Next time, remember not to do such foolish things if you're not confident." Although Kalego was scolding him, he had a good impression of Shesi's immediate and unhesitating act of using himself as a human shield.
"Is this compensation?" Shesi was a bit confused.
"Perhaps, since I didn't give you a familiar," Kalego said, but then suddenly realized something.
"Think what you want!" With that, he just walked away.
"Eh~ Such a tsundere~" Shesi said, then held up the rank 3 badge and looked at it.
"Rank, huh?"
"How about it, do you feel motivated?" Ameri said from the side.
"I guess I do a bit. Shall we go? How was my brother's performance?" With that, Shesi walked towards Iruma.
"Hmm... Quite good," Ameri said. Indeed, Asmodeus's attack would be difficult for even most upperclassmen to handle.
"Right? He's the man who will become the Demon King," Shesi suddenly thought of a line from a character in an anime from his previous life.
When the two walked over to Iruma,
"Brother..."
"Hmm?"
"I think I've found my desire (dream)... I'm so excited," Iruma said, looking down.
"Is that so? That's quite good," Shesi said.
"Ameri, you're in a good mood today, how about reading chapter 2?" Upon hearing this, Ameri's ears immediately began to twitch.
"Really? That's great! Let's go then!"
