SIGN The Study of Imaginary Beasts Instructor Balam Shichiro
[00:04] Balam
Let's begin our lesson.
[00:11] Nar
Suzuki Iruma, age fourteen, is the only
human living in the netherworld.
[00:17] Nar
As he receives continuous praise while
going to the demon school Babyls,
[00:22] Nar
he discovers his ambition
and goal as a student.
[00:26] Nar
And that is...
[00:28] Nar
to raise his rank.
[00:30] Nar
What could be awaiting him in the future?

SIGN Netherworld History Room
[02:21] Balam
Throughout our history—the history
of the netherworld, that is—
[02:25] Balam
countless imaginary beasts have existed.
[02:30] Balam
The study of imaginary beasts
involves learning via imagination.
[02:34] Balam
After all...
[02:36] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[02:37] Balam
It's a subject in which we research
creatures of the imaginary kind.
[02:42] Balam
And...
[02:43] Balam
There are plenty of unexplored
regions in the netherworld.
[02:46] Asmodeus
C-Could you perhaps stop this?
[02:49] Balam
So there must be new species out there.
[02:53] Iruma
E-Excuse me...
[02:55] Balam
What's that? You want to know
what imaginary beasts eat?
[02:58] Iruma
Huh?
[03:01] Balam
We believe that imaginary beasts
eat other imaginary beasts!
[03:07] Balam
For example, cats in the netherworld
catch demon birds and eat them...
[03:11] Balam
But the imaginary version
of a cat does not have wings!
[03:14] Balam
Therefore, we can theorize that it eats
land creatures or water creatures.
[03:16] Iruma
Say, Azz-kun, is the reason all
the other students ran away...
[03:20] Asmodeus
Indeed.
[03:22] Asmodeus
Balam-sensei's "skinship."
SIGN Touchy-Feelies (Skinship)
[03:25] ---
Perhaps it's because he's in
charge of an imaginary science,
[03:27] Asmodeus
but whenever he sees a living creature,
he has to touch it, so the lesson goes nowhere.
[03:32] Student C
Apparently he touches everyone to see
if they're fit for his experiments.
[03:36] Iruma
E-Experiments?
[03:38] Student D
Rumor has it he kidnaps the students he likes...
[03:40] Student D
and then conducts experiments
on them all night!
[03:45] Iruma
Huh?!
[03:48] Balam
Now, then...
[03:50] Balam
Today, we will think about humans.
SIGN Humans
[03:55] Balam
If a human were to appear in
front of you, what would you do?
SIGN Human-kun
[04:01] Student
Well, obviously...
[04:02] Male Student B
Eat them!
[04:04] Azuki
I hear humans taste really good.
I wonder if that's really true.
[04:09] Dosanko
I wonder if they can truly satisfy my palate.
[04:13] Song
Humans only exist to be our food...
[04:21] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama?!
[04:22] Clara
Poke... Poke, poke...
Poke, poke... Poke, poke...
[04:23] Balam
It is said that humans are filled with desires
[04:26] Balam
and serve as sustenance for us demons.
[04:29] Haruno
What would you do if you
encountered a human, Sensei?
[04:32] Balam
Me?
[04:38] Student C
Don't just stop talking. It's creepy.
[04:40] Student D
He's totally experimenting
in his mind right now.
[04:42] Haruno
Is he really going to eat them?
[04:45] Balam
Well, if I ever met a human...
[04:48] Balam
I'd love to ask them how
they managed to survive.
[04:52] Balam
Imaginary beasts are ancient...
[04:54] Balam
And the fact that they've survived this long
[04:57] Balam
must mean that they live
in a peaceful environment.
[05:00] Balam
But the netherworld's ecosystem is unforgiving.
[05:04] Balam
That's why we demons attained
wings during our evolution.
[05:10] Balam
In the race for survival,
wings are essential.
[05:14] Balam
Even if you don't have horns,
as long as you have wings, you can flee...
[05:17] Balam
As long as you have... Huh?
[05:27] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama!
[05:28] Clara
That looks fun!
[05:35] Balam
Pardon me! Someone!
[05:37] Robin
What's the matter, Balam-sensei?
[05:39] Balam
There's an emergency!
This boy doesn't have wings!
[05:43] Momonoki
He doesn't have wings?!
[05:44] Robin
Oh, come on, now. Of course he has wings!
[05:48] Iruma
O-Oh, no!
[05:49] Momonoki
I'm sure they're just tucked inside his body.
[05:51] Balam
He doesn't even have wing bases!
[05:53] Momonoki And Robin
He doesn't?!
[05:54] Balam
You can tell by touching him.
[05:56] Iruma
What should I do?
[05:57] Robin
Iruma-kun, let me see your back.
[05:59] Iruma
They're gonna find out that I'm human!
[06:00] Balam
Let's pull this off!
[06:02] Robin
Right!
[06:06] Robin
This is...
[06:08] Momonoki
He does have wings.
[06:09] Iruma
Huh?!
[06:12] Iruma
Ali-san!
[06:16] Robin
Aw, we just didn't notice them
because they're so small.
[06:19] Momonoki
It's great that you're so
passionate about your research,
[06:22] Momonoki
but don't let your imagination run too wild.
[06:30] Iruma
I was sure they were going to find me out.
[06:34] Iruma
It might be dangerous to
be around this teacher.
[06:37] Iruma
I do want to ask him about our homework...
[06:40] Iruma
But I should probably get away.
[06:42] Iruma
W-Well, I'll be going now.
[06:48] Balam
It's no use.
[06:55] Balam
The study of imaginary beasts
consists of preconceptions.
[06:59] Balam
After touching your back, I'm convinced
that either you have a severe illness
[07:06] Balam
or you're a very special creature.
[07:11] Balam
I won't be satisfied until I find out for sure.
[07:15] Balam
Please...
[07:17] Balam
don't hold this against me.
[07:20] Iruma
If he finds out I'm human...
[07:23] Iruma
He's going to eat—
[07:32] Balam
Are we... even now?
[07:36] Iruma
Huh?
[07:37] Balam
Whoops.
[07:40] Iruma
U-Um...
[07:42] Balam
My fangs are rather savage.
[07:44] Balam
That's not exactly rare in the netherworld,
[07:48] Balam
but I got in an accident,
exposing some of my fangs.
[07:52] Balam
I love all living creatures,
[07:54] Balam
but everyone runs away because
they're scared of these fangs.
[07:58] Balam
That's why I got the habit of touching
them as much as possible, given the chance.
[08:03] Balam
I wear this mask so I'm not as scary.
[08:08] Iruma
Why are you telling me this?
[08:11] Balam
Well, I figured you probably didn't like
[08:14] Balam
having people see your tiny wings.
[08:17] Balam
That must've startled you. I'm sorry.
[08:20] Balam
I wasn't sure at first,
but I figured I should do this.
[08:24] Balam
It wouldn't have been fair if you went through
[08:26] Balam
something upsetting and
all I did was apologize.
[08:34] Balam
But I'm so happy you're not sick.
[08:35] Iruma
I see.
[08:37] ---
Balam-sensei...
[08:39] Iruma
is a bit unique.
[08:40] Balam
Come on in.
[08:42] Iruma
Where are we?
[08:43] Balam
The netherworld history prep room.
[08:45] Iruma
People might be scared of him...
[08:47] Balam
Wait here. I'll pour you some Hell Grey tea.
[08:51] Iruma
But the truth is...
[08:53] Balam
Don't spill... Don't spill...
[08:55] Iruma
He's actually super nice.
[08:59] Balam
It's hot, so be careful.
[09:01] Iruma
Thank you very much.
[09:02] Balam
Be careful not to burn yourself.
[09:09] Balam
I think it tastes good.
[09:10] Iruma
Um...
[09:12] Iruma
Sensei.
[09:14] Iruma
I'm... human.
[09:18] Balam
Huh?
SIGN Sure
[09:30] (Flashback) Kid A
Take that! And that!
[09:34] (Flashback) Kid A
Hey, Balam.
[09:36] (Flashback) Kid A
You're looking at picture books again?
SIGN The Chick
Triplets
[09:41] (Flashback) Student E
He's still reading picture books?
[09:43] (Flashback) Student F
Gross.
[09:44] (Flashback) Student E
Like any of those creatures actually exist.
[09:47] (Flashback) Student F
Right?
[09:50] Iruma
I'm... human.
[09:55] Balam
Huh?
[09:58] Iruma
I-I accidentally said it!
[09:59] Balam
H-Hu... Hu...
[10:02] Iruma
Er, um...
[10:04] Balam
You said "human," didn't you?!
[10:06] Iruma
No, I—
[10:06] Balam
Lying is bad!
[10:08] Balam
You said you're human, didn't you?!
[10:10] Iruma
Er, um...
[10:12] Iruma
Yes...
[10:20] Iruma
Balam-sensei!
[10:22] Iruma
A-A-Are you okay?!
[10:24] Balam
No, I am not...
[10:27] Iruma
What?!
[10:29] Balam
Wait, your wings...
[10:32] Iruma
Th-They're fake.
[10:34] Balam
Then what about a tail?! Do you have a tail?!
[10:36] Iruma
No, I don't.
[10:38] Iruma
Um, Sense—
[10:41] Balam
D-Don't come any closer!
[10:43] ---
I, um... won't be able to
hold back any longer!
[10:46] Iruma
Wait, does he mean his appetite?
[10:50] Balam
I'm so nervous.
[10:51] Iruma
Huh?
[10:53] Balam
I mean, you're a human! A real human!
[10:56] Balam
The real thing versus
what I've been imagining!
[10:59] ---
You really don't have wings!
[11:00] Balam
I wasn't wrong!
[11:02] Iruma
Y-You don't want to eat me?
[11:04] Balam
Well, sort of... But you're a
precious protected species!
[11:09] Iruma
I-Is that how this works?
[11:12] Balam
If we're being honest here,
I really want to touch you.
[11:18] Iruma
Poke.
[11:22] Balam
Good sir!
[11:24] Iruma
S-Sorry! I couldn't help myself.
[11:27] Balam
You need to be aware of your position!
[11:29] Balam
If the others find out you're a rare
and frail human, there'll be trouble!
[11:33] Iruma
Er, well...
[11:35] ---
You're just so nice, I let my guard down.
[11:38] Iruma
But I have gone this long
without the others finding out.
[11:41] Balam
Listen, you! I'm the only one
who'd react to a human like this!
[11:46] Balam
Any other demon would've
devoured you in a single gulp!
[11:48] Balam
Do you understand that?! You don't, do you?!
[11:49] Iruma
I-I'm sorry!
[11:51] Balam
You are too naïve of a creature.
[11:58] Iruma
Azz-kun and Clara are probably worried.
[12:01] Iruma
I ended up getting lectured
for several hours.
[12:05] Iruma
But...
[12:07] (Flashback) Balam
What about your scent?!
How are you masking it?!
[12:09] (Flashback) Balam
Is it perfume?! Put it on every day!
[12:11] (Flashback) Balam
What about your food?!
Is netherworld food okay?!
[12:14] (Flashback) Balam
It's good? That's great to hear!
[12:17] Iruma
Balam-sensei is so nice.
[12:21] Song

We just can't get motivated.

We're done for!
[12:39] Jazz
We held out as long as we could...
[12:40] Asmodeus
But you just started studying yesterday.
[12:43] Asmodeus
Can't you do this more efficiently?
[12:45] ---
Maybe have someone tutor you.

Have someone tutor us?

We've been forsaken!

There's no way we can teach all of you!
[13:05] Asmodeus
I'll be accompanying Iruma-sama, after all!
[13:08] Sabro
You shall learn by watching my back!
[13:11] Schneider
There are no shortcuts in learning.
[13:13] Keroli
Yeah, I can't.
[13:14] Jazz
Well, I guess that's not happening.
[13:16] Clara
Sabro, I didn't know you were
a goody-goody smarty-pants.
[13:19] Sabro
As a future Demon King, knowledge is vital.
[13:22] Clara
Good boy! Good boy!
[13:24] Goemon
Are you also an idiot, Elizabetta-dono?
[13:26] Elizabetta
Is that bad?
[13:27] Camui
No, it's exciting!
[13:29] Camui
But I also admire the smart,
bespectacled ladies.
[13:32] Keroli
I'm good.
[13:34] Lead
At this rate, our end of terminus is gonna be ruined by supplementary classes!
[13:38] Iruma
By the way, do you all
have plans for break—
[13:40] Jazz; Lead; Goemon
Glad you asked!
[13:41] Lead
The netherworld is filled
with tons of fun stuff!
[13:44] Goemon
Amusement parks! Water parks!
[13:46] Camui
The bloody pool!
[13:47] Jazz
The kickass rock festivals!
[13:48] Elizabetta
Shopping at the Vampire's Mansion!
[13:50] Lead
There are a bunch of festivals, too.
[13:53] ---
We'd need clones to do it all!
[13:55] Asmodeus
All of you cheer up when you start talking
about playing around. Honestly, I...
[14:01] Clara
Iruma-chi, you're so bright.
[14:04] Iruma
Er, it's just... that all sounded like fun.
SIGN Every single Iruma

SIGN Yakisoba
[14:07] Iruma
I basically only ever worked
during my summer vacations!
[14:11] Lead
Iruma-kun, you've never
been to a water park?
[14:14] Iruma
N-No...
[14:16] Jazz
Let's all go together, then!
[14:17] Iruma
What? Really?!
[14:19] Goemon
Let's have fun together!
[14:23] Iruma
Yeah!
[14:24] Iruma
Going out somewhere with everyone...
[14:26] Class
Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
[14:28] Kalego
That will only happen if you pass your exams.
[14:32] All
Oh, right...
[14:35] Kalego
By the way, I will be in charge
of the supplementary classes.
[14:38] Lead
A road to death!
[14:40] Goemon
That's awful!
[14:41] Lead
You just don't understand youth, Kalego-sensei!
[14:43] Jazz
I really don't want to, but I guess I'll study.
[14:46] Jazz
Cheating's impossible, too.
[14:48] Iruma
Impossible?
[14:49] Jazz
Well, if anyone tries to cheat on
these tests, they always get caught.
[14:54] Jazz
No idea why.
[14:55] Iruma
Ah...
[15:03] Lead
What the?!
[15:04] Camui
Scary!
[15:05] Picero
Pipe down...
[15:06] Asmodeus
B-Balam-sensei?
[15:08] Jazz
Wait, the guy everyone says
is experimenting on students?
[15:11] Camui
Did he come to kidnap someone?
[15:12] Iruma
Huh? No, Balam-sensei would never—
[15:16] Lead
Sensei.
[15:30] Kalego
You seem well, Shichiro.
[15:32] Balam
Hey there, Kalego-kun.
[15:35] Kalego
Did you get even taller?
[15:36] Balam
Yes.

Excuse me...
[15:39] Iruma
How do you two know each other?
[15:41] Balam
We're classmates.
SIGN Classmates
[15:43] Balam
We also went to Babyls.
[15:45] Kalego
We're stuck with each other.
[15:47] Clara
Does that mean you're friends?
[15:48] Clara
You're just like me and Iruma-chi, then!
[15:50] Iruma
Y-Yeah, maybe.
[15:53] Kalego
But you can't just show up unannounced.
[15:55] Balam
You're right. Everyone seems surprised.
[15:58] Lead
Well, yeah, we were surprised, but...
[16:01] Jazz
More importantly, Kalego-sensei...
[16:04] All
There's actually a demon
you get along with?!
[16:09] Lead
Ow, ow, ow, ow! He read our minds!
[16:12] Jazz
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[16:12] Iruma
Um, what are you doing here, Balam-sensei?
[16:16] Balam
I was worried someone might've discovered
you're human, so I came to check on you.
[16:20] Balam
More importantly, I heard you're
having trouble studying for your exams.
[16:25] Balam
I'll make you something useful.

Raffire!
[16:45] Balam
This is called verbal magic.
It covers many types of spells.
SIGN Verbal Magic
SIGN Rarity:
[16:52] Iruma
The flame's just too small.

Leave this to me!
[16:56] Balam
Mu-chan can use magic
without verbalizing the spell.
SIGN Mental Magic
SIGN Rarity:
[17:00] Balam
This is called mental magic,
and it requires a lot of training.
[17:05] Balam
Kei-chan has special magic
that only she can use.
[17:10] Balam
This is called bloodline magic.
SIGN Bloodline Magic
SIGN Rarity:
[17:12] Balam
With enough practice,
it can be made even stronger.
[17:17] Balam
They all have different kinds of magic,

so they live happily together
while helping each other out.
[17:24] Balam
These are the basics of magic.
SIGN The Magical Siblings
[17:28] Iruma
This is so easy to understand!
[17:29] Balam
Really?!
[17:30] Iruma
Did you really write this, Balam-sensei?
[17:34] Iruma
That's so cool! It's so cute!
[17:35] Balam
I've always loved picture books.
I even create some on my own as a hobby.
[17:39] Balam
I try to show the others,
but everyone always seems to run away.
SIGN 666 Beasts
Cerberus
[17:45] Iruma
But it must've been a lot
of work to make this.
[17:48] Balam
What are you talking about?!
[17:49] Balam
You need to know more about
the netherworld to protect yourself!
[17:53] Balam
I'll make you picture books
for the other subjects, too,
[17:55] ---
so make sure you read them!
[17:56] Iruma
I guess he's happy to have
someone read his picture book.
[17:59] Iruma
Okay!
SIGN The Magical Siblings
[18:00] Iruma
I guess there are a lot of ways to study
besides just reading textbooks.
[18:07] Clara
It's easy to learn when you sing, too!
[18:09] Clara
With just a little bit of water,
[18:12] Clara
they grow like whoosh, nigi nigi greens...
[18:16] Clara
They love dark, dreary places, namejirooms...
[18:20] Goemon
General Andras sure is strong.
[18:23] Lead
They used a real-life battle
as inspiration for this game.
[18:26] Iruma
Wow.
[18:27] Iruma
Netherworld history is filled with dreams.
[18:29] Goemon; Lead
Sure...
[18:32] Iruma
I'll work hard at my studies!

They grow like whoosh, nigi nigi greens!
[18:43] Class
They love dark, dreary places, namejirooms!
[18:47] Class
Spinny spin and you get Ouroboros!
[18:50] Class
It'll sprout on the night of the blood moon!
[18:52] Class
Hurray, hurray!

they grow like whoosh, nigi nigi greens!

They've completely broken.
SIGN A Lone Torturer
[19:06] Iruma
I never thought there'd be such a
touching story in the history of torture...
[19:10] Balam
You look like a mess.
[19:13] Balam
Are your studies going well?
[19:15] Iruma
I'm still getting a lot of wrong answers...
[19:20] Iruma
But I'm definitely updating.
SIGN Updating
[19:23] Balam
Updating?
[19:25] Iruma
I basically feel a new me
coming through, I guess.
[19:28] Iruma
So it hasn't been rough. Actually...
SIGN Observations
[19:32] Iruma
Wait, why are you taking notes?
[19:34] Balam
Oh, I just find you fascinating.
[19:38] Balam
Here's your next picture book.
SIGN A Lone Torturer II
[19:39] Iruma
Oh, thank you very much!
[19:44] Balam
No, thank you.
[19:49] Asmodeus
And stop!
[19:53] Iruma
I-I got more right answers than wrong ones!
[19:56] Asmodeus
Though this is a mock exam,

Hrm...
[20:04] Clara
Well done improving so much.
[20:06] Clara
You've made this professor proud.
[20:08] Iruma
Thank you.
[20:09] Asmodeus
Iruma-sama! Don't let her fool you!

We're all studying together as

Thanks to them, studying has been fun.
[21:10] Iruma
