Maou Gakuen Rebel Light Novel Volume 2

This is the Second volume of Maou Gakuen series.
==Plot==
A week after his rescuing Lizel from Aspite, Morioka Yuuto is now back at training. Himekami Lizel researches how much mana Yuuto gains from Healing Lovers. Their research got cut short as they were called upon by headmaster Barbatos Gandou to gather up with the other Devil King Candidates.
At the gathering, Headmaster Gandou announces an exciting event is going to occur. The Devil King Academy Athletic Festival. The majority of the present candidates headed home immediately, even after the headmaster offered up a hefty reward of meal tickets to the cafeteria. During the meeting, Yuuto meets two new candidates. Devil king candidate of Judgment, surprisingly friendly and cheerful Kouma Ruki. Devil king candidate of the Devil, carefree yet terrifying Mitsuishi Ibiza. Ibiza, in particular, caught Yuuto's attention due to his aura that made even the current devil king uncomfortable. Also, Miyabi had a conflict going on with Ibiza. From Miyabi's words, Ibiza made Miyabi's subordinates Rebecca Carlsson and Maki betray their families, send their members to the devil's world and hand over their territory to him in the process. The situation escalated into a conflict that had to be defused by Headmaster Gandou, who shooed them away.
Yuuto accompanied Lizel and proceeded with combat training. He tries to both fight and regenerate mana during combat. After an intense workout, Yuuto decided to visit Miyabi to check on her. However, once he reached Yuugaoze mansion, Yuuto noticed Miyabi wasn't present at the mansion. ​ She was in a desolate house nearby. Miyabi revealed Rebecca and Maki has also betrayed her family. As a result, their wealth got taken off. During their conversation, Miyabi told Yuuto her family possesses a special bloodline magic she could learn. Their conversation is interrupted by Ibiza's arrival. Yuuto faced off with the traitors, but their confrontation was cut short by Yuugaoze Miyako joining Yuuto's side. Ibiza had to step in, but his Fizard spell got repelled, much to his surprise. Shortly after, Lizel and Reina arrived on the scene. The Devil candidate was forced to retreat.
Ibiza began scheming to deal with Yuuto. He decided to get a more powerful card to defeat Yuuto. His aim is to obtain Miyabi's bloodline Magic and use her in a ritual to strengthen his unique ability, Psiconnect Supreme Love Bond.
Several days later, the athletic festival began. Two teams were to participate, the red and white team. The red side, consists of devil king candidates of Lovers, Star, and Chariot. The white side, represented by Judgment, Hanged Man, and Devil. The athletic festival also presented an opportunity for the candidates to found a new card. Specifically, Ibiza found himself a new card, Gigara Albert. ​ Ibiza then got rid of Maki. Maki got devoured by a black mud that was a "gate/portal" to the devil's realm. Once this phenomenon appears, a devil is forced back to his world and cannot return to the human world. In this case, black mud signalled that Maki was sold and is to become a slave. 
Albert's first task was to defeat Yuuto. Lizel provided Yuuto with mana, and after a heated confrontation, Yuuto defeated Albert and got summoned to the headmaster. After an anime debate, headmaster Gandou asked Yuuto if he can murder Ibiza. Headmaster repeated, he cannot back up a specific side. However, the headmaster questioned Yuuto about why Ibiza is obsessed with Miyabi, giving Yuuto a point to focus on.
While training, Miyabi was working out to learn her bloodline magic, unsuccessfully. Miyabi pushed herself too hard, and Yuuto had to carry her to the infirmary. Miyabi recovered quickly and noticed they were alone. She decided to use the opportunity and help Yuuto to restore his mana. This recovery went well, and Yuuto's upper mana limit has become 30 000.
The day of the athletic festival finally arrived. The Hanged Man candidate did not appear, cancelling his/her participation at the last minute. The competition was very heated. Many young devils were trying to make themselves look good in front of the candidates. During Yuuto's disciplines, some devils weren't happy with the human candidate. Some of Yuuto's teammates even obstructed him with rule-breaking magic. They stated they rather see their entire team lose if that means they won't finish behind Yuuto in their discipline. In the end, Yuuto came out victorious and passed out. He managed to wake up just in time to further fire himself up by watching Lizel's cheerleading. ​ Yuuto then went on to talk with Neith about her frustration when participating. Yuuto helped Neith, motivating her to do her best. They also spoke about Neith's relationship with Lizel in her childhood. Yuuto learned Lizel used to be a "scary child". But, one day, her personality suddenly changed.
Yuuto and Neith participated in the obstacle race. During the race, Yuuto got paralyzed, and black mud appeared under Yuuto's feet, a gate to the devil's realm. It was Ibiza's doing. If a human were to be devoured by the mud, he would die. Luckily, Neith came back, helping Yuuto. Neith used her unique ability to summon a chariot to get both of them away. In her chariot form, Neith managed to speedrun through the course and secure first place. Yuuto got disqualified for "just catching a ride", much to Stella's displeasement. However, a bigger problem appeared. Rebecca called Miyabi to meet with her alone, claiming to have regained control of herself. Yuuto was suspicious of Rebecca and decided to come with Miyabi.
They went right into a trap, and pre-prepared ritual magic got activated. Yuuto thwarted Rebecca's attempt to capture Miyabi, but it was too late to fall back. The final battle between candidates of Lovers and Devil was about to begin. 
 Ibiza arrived on the scene, removed his influence from Rebecca, sending her to the devil world in the process. Now, Ibiza was ready to claim Miyabi. Miyabi was in shock. She saw Rebecca getting devoured by the black mud, signalling her future, a slave in the devil's realm. In the fuss, Ibiza used his Psiconnect and got Miyabi under his control. Yuuto was unaware of this, and he got directly hit by Miyabi, possibly breaking his ribs and maybe even piercing his organs. Unlike Rebecca or Maki, Miyabi had remained somewhat unloyal towards Ibiza and was not giving up her will. Thanks to Miyabi's blow to Yuuto, Ibiza held an upper hand in the strength, and his Fidezenon spell was superior to weakened Yuuto. However, Miyabi's disloyalty was problematic. Ibiza tried to fix this problem, but he failed to achieve a result. ​ Miyabi managed to remain "free" enough to kiss Yuuto. The kiss worked as a Healing Lover's ritual. Yuuto's mana now was replenished. Also, his mana upper limit became 50 000. In doing so, Yuuto unlocked bloodline magic analysis. He kissed Miyabi one more time to analyze and unlock the Yuugaoze bloodline magic. Cutting Connect Connection Severance was now at Yuuto's disposal to deal once and for all with Ibiza's Psiconnect. Ibiza's influence over Miyabi was gone, and his last-ditch effort to turn the tide of a battle with calling upon his puppets have failed. He was no match against Infinite Lovers. His Psiconnect posed no threat anymore.
Now, people began gathering around the two candidates. Lizel arrived, followed by Stella. Stella's guaranteed Ibiza will die, regardless of the result against Lovers. Ibiza got pushed to the corner. He had no place to retreat. With his remaining strength, Ibiza gathered all his power for one last Fidezenon, but it was futile against Yuuto in his "Infinite Lovers" state. Ibiza was scorched, and black mud devoured him shortly after. 
Yuuto earned the "MVP" title of the festival. Headmaster Gandou's reward was a wish. Yuuto could wish for anything, whether it be a coupon, permission to skip classes or disqualifying one of the devil king candidates. Yuuto decided to return everything Ibiza stole from the Yuugaoze family back to them. Later, Lizel had a conversation with the headmaster. Headmaster Gandou tells her that he killed the previous candidate of the Devil arcana twenty years ago. He also told Lizel that The Triumph candidates are starting to make moves. Back home, Yuuto was recovering from his injuries. Miyabi and Lizel were arguing when suddenly Reina collapsed.
