**At One with Familiars♪** (使い魔といっしょ♪ *Tsukaima to Issho♪*?, or **My Familiar and Me♪** in the official English volume) is the twenty-second chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

The start of Familiars Class begins outside after the events of the Rookie Hunt. With the new teacher for Babyls, Bars Robin, starting his first day because he was distracted by preparing for the opening ceremony, he missed his first day. Now Robin prepares his teaching session with the misfits' familiars. Other students gather around as Alice presents his Gorgon Snake, Sabro shows off his Kelpie, and Clara brings out her familiar Falfal. A rare magical beast whose language and actions are a mystery, Robin wonders how she can tame this creature. Turns out it's the opposite, as Falfal has tamed Clara like a pet by playing fetch and petting her head.

Impressed by the students' familiars, he turns his attention towards Iruma, who's nervous and scared about summoning his. However, Robin's enthusiasm pushes him to teach Iruma the master should not be scared, and he pleads for Iruma to summon him. In the teachers' lounge, March reports to Kalego that they're receiving more complaints about him being too strict and scary. He offers Kalego to be a little nicer, but he brushes it off as a teaching method that he has his duties to uphold. And just like that, he is summoned outside in his cute and fluffy familiar form.

Shocked, Kalego turns to Iruma and threatens to destroy him while he apologizes relentlessly. Then Robin grabs Kalego complimenting how fluffy he is. Kalego tries to intimidate Robin, but it only excites him even more at a talking familiar. Furious, Kalego attempts to strike the new teacher but is stopped when he lightly taps Iruma's hand. Doing this punishes Kalego for going against his master. Annoyed, Kalego tells Iruma to cancel the summon but is stopped by Robin. He explains the guidelines "it is his responsibility as the teacher to evaluate the student's abilities no matter the reason." Kalego has no choice but to stay as Iruma's familiar with the class because he's the one who wrote those guidelines.

Although Kalego is against being a familiar, he clarifies that Iruma will teach him but only to make this class end sooner. He goes over the basics, blood contracts are very strong, and the call of the master is absolute. Robin takes over the lesson by offering the students to play frisbee with their familiars. Kalego didn't want to but changed his mind when he heard Iruma would get a failing grade. And so he endured the humiliation of fetching, playing, and dancing with the student. Iruma apologizes to him for summoning him for a non-emergency. Curious, Kalego asked Iruma why he didn't bother summoning him when he was up against the Guardian of Cutthroat Valley. Iruma replies that if he did, he and the guardian might have gotten hurt.

Meanwhile, Sabro and Alice both got bored with the lessons and decided to have their familiars fight against Robin's decline. Kalego steps in and knocks the two magical beasts with a single strike. He then explains that familiars are not pets or partners; they're powerful creatures, and if the master weavers, the beast will become violent. And so the students follow through with the lesson, and the bond with their familiars deepens. But not so much with Kalego and Robin.
