The day of the execution cannonball promotion exam will be today. The three of them were around the table. Iruma ate large amounts of food and Hayami had her eyes closed, her fingers laced between each other and her chin rested there. She ate too, but as usual, it would seem normal or too little compare to how much he eats. She only had a cup of tea in front of her.
"The day is finally here!" Lord Sullivan enthusiastically.
She opened her eyes and they looked over at Lord Sullivan. "How are you feeling? You think you'll do okay?" He asked.
"Yes." he bowed a little. "Or at least... I wish I could say that."
"I think so too though I'm more nervous about using my power rather than relying on my spear." She lifted up her tea.
"Are you still scared?" Opera stepped in.
"W-Well, I mean..."
"I guess you can put it that way." She swirled the tea in her cup while staring at her own reflection. "I'm just still not very confident in my magic capability yet." She admitted.
"Allow me to give you one last piece of advice."They lifted the teacup and sipped it. Lord Sullivan tried to talk. "Hey, isn't that mine?" Opera ignored him. "You can consider it a life hack."
"Lifehack?" He repeated.
"It's an old netherworld technique, but fear is utter humiliation for demons. When it comes to surviving in such a competitive society as the netherworld, fearing your enemy is the same as defeat." So the more scared you are, the more you should be upfront. Turn your fear into excitement." They sipped the tea.
"Really, isn't that mine?"
It was quiet afterwards. 'I wonder if Iruma is repeating those words in his mind. Maybe I can—'
Their friends called out to them. "Morning! Morning! Morning! Morning! Morning! Iruma-chi! Haya-ki!"
"Iruma-sama, Hayami-sama! We've come to pick you up." Asmodeus called out.
"Yes. We must reach school! It is going to be an exciting day today."Kuro agreed.
They turned their head. "We'd better get going." he finished up his breakfast and she quickly got up to get their bags. However, before she did that, she came back and gulped down her tea then gone to get them.
Iruma tied his hair up into a ponytail. 'I just need to prepare myself and step forward.'

"Today's the day of the promotion exam, isn't it?"
"I wonder if Asmodeus-sama is going to raise his rank even higher." The pink hair demon said.
"I'll be shocked if he doesn't."
"Hot guys who are kept down aren't so bad." One eye demon commented.
Ameri watched the students entered the school grounds through the window. "Today's the day."

"I shall win!" Sabnock declared.
"No, it'll be me!"
"Let's finish this up so I can go home and get back to my game," Shax said.
"I haven't exercised in forever." Jazz commented.
"Please take it easy on me," Elizabetta said.
"I shall protect you," Caim told her then Agares yawned.
