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    Balam's Lesson [02:09] Sign     "Balam's Lesson." 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.

[09:55] 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.

[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!

[13:29] 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!
