**The Abilities of a Lord** (領主の力量 *Ryōshu no Rikiryō*?) is the three hundred-and-twenty-third chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

The people cheer over the Abnormal Class's victory over the Kraken, with Mephisto praising Iruma for taking it down with one shot. Iruma thanks him and says that the archery he learned from his master, Bachiko, is top-notch. Mephisto and the people are surprised to learn that he is Bachiko's student, and the people start talking about how impressive Bachiko must be as one of the new Thirteen Crowns. Mephisto, however, tells Iruma that he is a bad boy for singing praise of another member in *his* territory.

Just as Iruma tries to apologize, Mephisto picks him up and throws him far away, saying if he wants to fight, he'll give him one. Alice immediately runs to his side, but the two are left speechless by the arrival of an entire swarm of Krakens that appear right behind Mephisto, as he says he plans on showing Iruma a little bit of his work. The Kraken behind Mephisto attacks and seemingly pushes him under, but immediately appears behind Iruma when he calls to him, to his total surprise. After that, Mephisto takes Zebubra to subjugate the swarm, calling it her hotel bill. At first, she is annoyed, but Mephisto says that if they don't deal with this, their vacation will be ruined, and she accepts. Meanwhile, onshore, Soi and Schneider tell Opera that the situation seems to have gotten bigger and ask if they should help the two out, but Opera says they'll be fine.

Opera is shown to be correct as Zebubra touches the tentacles of the Krakens and makes them explode, and all of the people start cheering for her, including the Abnormal Class, with Alice mentioning that she is the rising star in the Belzebuth family. As Zebubra basks in the admiration, she asks herself again why she isn't a member of the Thirteen Crowns. She then gets a thought that if Mephisto gets hurt, he won't be able to do his job, and theoretically, she could take his place in the group and get the resort for herself, as she seems to be also very popular in the territory.

Zebubra decides to attack Mephisto, claiming her hand slipped, but he immediately sidesteps and grabs her while saying she shouldn't go in that direction, and when she looks up, she sees to her complete shock that he has blown open giant holes in the Krakens. Sabro and Alice didn't even see him do anything apart from pointing his hand at them like he was about to shoot them, and now, all of a sudden, holes appeared. Mephisto calls to one Kraken, still alive, and tells it to tell the others not to come near the beach again, and it runs off in fear.

The people are awestruck by Mephisto's power, especially Iruma, who comes to understand how he became a member of the Thirteen Crowns.
