At Babyls Demon School, Professors' Office
After School

Marbas, Professor of Torture Arts, was looking through the lineup of the Misfits' tutors, shocked to see they're all famous figures. Momonoki admitted she was impressed with quite the selection. Blushenko was also amazed to see how they all got to Babyls for that purpose. Just then, Dali started leaning against his armchair to chat with Kalego on the matter.

"I gotta say, I know we're placing a plethora of high expectations on the Misfit Class, but still this feels a wee bit harsh, no?" He said, perhaps hinting some sarcasm, "You handpicked the tutors yourself, didn't you, Professor Kalego? You wouldn't actually be attempting to... reclaim the Royal One for the school by giving them a hopeless challenge? This wouldn't be personal, would it?"

"Well... I must confess I quite enjoy it. Watching those insolent brats squirm and suffer." Replied Kalego as he did his work.

What he said, right? Clearly he's loving that part of his sadistic character. Momonoki thought it's part of what makes him such a great instructor. But there's more to that than to see his students suffer for Kalego.

"However, I chose the perfect tutors who are ideal to whip those ragamuffins into shape, in a dignified manner." He elaborated.

Truly a work of outstanding requirements as the Misfits continued to push through the heavy weight of their hellish trainings. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles before the Harvest Festival? That we will find out today.

At the Battler Tower, A Corridor

From where we left off previously, Iruma and Bachiko stood in front of the entrance to the Magical Apparatus Battler. The latter stated that it was popular for the creation of strange and peculiar devices of sorts.

"Your first assignment will be to get these whacky guys to make you your bow, which'll be your partner!" Said Bachiko.

"Funny story. This is, uh, actually my Battler." Said Iruma, surprising Bachiko before she started chomping on his head.

"What?! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Exclaimed Bachiko in angry embarrassment.

"I had no idea we were coming here!" Answered Iruma.

"Now I'm embarrassed for bringing you here, acting like a know-it-all! You jerk!" Snarled the pink archer, later getting off her student, "I wouldn't have thought that you'd be one of those wacky doodles, though."

"I mean, it's much less chaotic than it used to be." Said Iruma, "It was a kind of storage space for magical apparatuses, but we've all been working hard to clean it up for a while. My sister's also in current control over what happens here, but I just hope it doesn't go back to the way it was since she's training. Come on, let's go in."

Iruma opened the doors, seeing that it was surprisingly furnished with a few tempered glass cabinets and a large wooden set of open shelves, holding experiment equipment and some strange items, just at the side of a wall.

'Huh? Did she buy those for organizing utilities?' Asked Iruma in thought, 'And it's much nicer than last time we left it.'

"Is that you, Mr. Iruma?" Asked a person nearby, greeting Iruma and Bachiko with a flamboyant pose with figures of girls in his hands, "Welcome! It's a delight to have you back, sir! I'm the unrivaled genius inventor! The Magical Apparatus Battler's lovable senior! The reliable Eligos Schnell is alive and well!"
