Rimuru POV

Over breakfast, it is explained to me and Iruma that today, first-year students like us, will be assigned our classes. Iruma's gone on and on about not wanting to stand out, so Sullivan's pulled some strings to get him placed in the 'Misfit Class'. It's apparently full of all the troublemakers and oddballs. Their 'uniqueness' will draw enough attention that Iruma wouldn't stand out among them, at least that's his idea. I've been placed in this class too, along with Azz and Clara. I don't really like being placed in the 'problem-child posse', but I suppose a literal deity/Demon Lord like myself attending a demon school would be considered a 'misfit'. The same goes for Iruma, him being a human and all. Just as I am about to finish my meal, Iruma asks me a question.

"Hey, Rimuru. Remember how you did something to that vending machine yesterday? You said you'd give me more details later."

"Oh, yeah. I did say that didn't I...well, don't flip out when I tell you."

"Don't worry Rimuru, I already know how weird you and your abilities are so I think I can handle it," Iruma says with his usual innocent smile.

Did this brat seriously just call me 'weird' to my face?!

"I don't really like being called 'weird', but I guess I can see where you're coming from when you say that. So, about that vending machine? I ate it." I explain bluntly.

"Ate...it?" Iruma asks, confused by my answer.

"Yup! I'm a slime, remember? Slimes can eat just about anything; that includes vending machines." I tell him a half-truth while wearing a big smile. Using azathoth is kinda like eating so it isn't a total lie. There's no way I'm going to explain to this kid that I have access to an infinite void that I can suck things into whenever I want.

Iruma still looks very confused, so I decided to give him a little demonstration.

"Just keep your eyes on the rest of my food for a moment. Don't even blink or you might miss it." For dramatic effect, I hover my hand over the food before consuming it using my skill instead of my mouth. "See? I just ate it." I say in a casual tone while pointing at my now empty plate.

"Wow!" Iruma exclaims, still staring at my plate.

"Hey, snap out of it! We need to get ready to leave for school!"

"Yeah, you're right. Sorry!"

The two of us grab our stuff and head out the door. Once we're outside, we notice two familiar faces waiting for us on the other side of the mansion's gate. They're, of course, Azz and Clara.

"Gooood morning Riri and Iruma-chi!" Clara yells to us, waving her arms excitedly.

"We are here to accompany you to school, Masters," Azz says with a small bow.

Before I can even respond to their greetings, I hear a familiar voice come from behind me.

"Master, are you having someone else serve you while at that school? Do you believe him to be more worthy of being at your side than me?" Diablo asks, glaring suspiciously at Azz. Azz is staring back at him with an equal level of disdain, probably not able to sense how dangerous of a situation he's in. I can already see the sparks flying between the two demons.
