**Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun!** (悪魔学校の入間くん *Akuma Gakkō no Iruma-kun*?, or **Iruma at Demon School** in the official English volume) is the first chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

As the chapter starts, Iruma Suzuki states that humans are greedy. Human desire knows no bounds, but that desire is also a thing without which humans cannot live. And those overcome by insatiable greed may go so far as to sell their soul to a demon. With this, he states that his parents, who sold his soul in exchange for money, are the living embodiment of greed.

The story begins with the introduction of Iruma Suzuki, a 14-year-old boy. He is described as very kind-hearted and unable to deny anyone a single request, regardless of how difficult or ridiculous it is. However, because of this, he often finds himself in dangerous situations and lives a difficult life.

Growing up, Iruma found himself in dangerous situations, as his parents are selfish, mean people with little to no common sense whatsoever. However, they finally cross the line when they accidentally summon Lord Sullivan, a demon, and sell their son in exchange for money and wealth.

After being sold, Iruma fears for his life until the demon presents him with expensive food and clothes and explains why he bought Iruma. Lord Sullivan explains that he never got married or had children but desperately wants a grandson because his friends always boast about their grandchildren. Iruma tries to refuse but is swayed by Sullivan's begging and agrees, stamping a contract. Sullivan hints that if Iruma had refused, he might have eaten him instead.

Lord Sullivan declares that he will spoil Iruma and provide him with the best of everything. However, that also means that he will have to go to school, especially since Iruma never had time for proper study after living such a difficult life and being dragged around by his selfish parents. Iruma is given a uniform (his standard outfit) and enrolled at Babyls Demon School; he learns that he is the first human to enroll and that he has to keep his real identity secret, lest he is eaten by demons.

Iruma arrives at entrance ceremony at learns that Lord Sullivan is, in fact, the Principal of the demon school. In his pride for his grandson, Lord Sullivan boasts about him on stage, to Iruma's horror, and even presents a poster. He then removes the Freshman representative, Asmodeus Alice, from the stage and declares that Iruma will instead make the speech.

Iruma's terrifying demeanor is mistaken for confidence by the students; once on stage, he decides to read the words prepared for him on a piece of paper on the podium instead of a speech. This causes an uproar, and it is revealed it was a forbidden spell that would have blown his limbs off if mispronounced. It is shown that the spell's effect is that he will not fall at all, no matter what, for the entire day.

The freshman representative challenges Iruma to a duel immediately after the orientation and summons the student body to watch the fight. Due to his difficult and crazy life, it is revealed that Iruma can dodge anything and has "zero attack, infinity defense. For better or worse, a completely harmless person." Iruma dodges Alice's fire magic for 20 minutes, due to which Alice misunderstood that Iruma thinks he is not even worth attacking. He becomes blind in rage and goes straight to attack him. Iruma avoid it but Alice goes straight towards a nearby student. Iruma tackles him to save the student. The spell's effects from earlier activate to stop him from falling, and Iruma defeats Alice in an accidental German suplex.

Iruma becomes the most talked about "demon" in the school, and later Alice arrives to congratulate Iruma on his victory. As per demon custom, he now follows Iruma and serves under him. He swears they will dominate the school together, to Iruma's surprise.
