**Excited Demons** (たかぶる悪魔たち *Takaburu Akuma-tachi*?) is the two hundred-and-twenty-fourth chapter of Osamu Nishi's *Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun*.

## Summary

The next day, the news about the Heartbreaker and that the Abnormal Class would be teaming up with the 26 Demon Fledglings had begun to spread like wildfire around the school, with several students excited at the prospect of being able to watch the event on the day. At Royal One, the class talks about how big the event is becoming, with Iruma being considered the center of attention of it.

In a flashback, Kalego states that since everyone from school will watch the students go up against the teachers, anyone in the class who underperforms will be demoted in rank. This rule especially applies to Iruma since he's the only Rank 5 in the class, so he will be judged more strictly than everyone else since everyone considers him the leader of the misfit class.

At home, Iruma converses with Alikred, as the former is worrying about the upcoming exam. Iruma explains that unlike the previous exams, in which he had a clear goal he wanted to achieve, this time, the thought of going up to Rank 6 and "not getting demoted" doesn't feel like a real goal to him. Since he is in his second year and wants to live up to everyone's expectations, he wants to find a good reason to do his best. Alikred suggests he do it for ***his*** desire, which is his declaration of wanting to be a hero. Iruma starts to get flustered as Alikred continues, saying that the first years will be looking to him for help, and since this event will be publicly broadcasted, he can burn the image of protecting the first years from a strong opponent, much like a hero, into the minds of everyone watching him. Iruma realizes that Alikred is right and gets himself ready for the event. While Alikred thinks that, Iruma might not have discovered, he has become comfortable standing out.

The next day, Andro tells the class that the team rosters have been announced. As the team rosters are shown, it is notable that among the teams, Chima is on Iruma's team (which she is elated about), and Silvia and Zeze are on Alice's. As the Abnormal Class gets excited, the day for the exam arrives, and everyone gathers to watch.
