-Next day at the school cafeteria-

Nagisa's pov

"You want to raise your rank?" Azz asked

"Yeah! Yesterday, the student council president gave me... An idea if you will. An ambition to attain. But I'll just take one step at a time and that's why I need your help to get me to Bet(2)." I explained as I patted Clara's head as she lay down on my lap as she does a quick cat nap

I looked over at Azz to see his eyes being covered by his hair

"Azz-kun... are you alright?" I asked not long after he suddenly stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs as tears were flowing down his eyes

"I WILL MAKE USE OF MYSELF SO THAT NAGISA-SAMA CAN OBTAIN THE RANK OF YODH(10)!!!" I shouted getting the attention of all the students in the cafeteria

"Hold on just a minute! I said Bet(2)! I'll obtain Bet first then go on from there." I explained

"If that is what Nagisa-sama wants then so be it! Let's raise your rank so that you can be on top of all the student bodies! I'll go and prepare immediately!" He said waking up clara from her nap

"Prepare for what?" Clara asked

"What else!?! To raise Nagisa-sama's rank to the highest! Yodh(10)! And to be on top of all the netherworld!" Azz shouted

"WAIT A MINUTE! I SAID BET(2) AND THAT YOU SAID THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY! HOW DID IT BECOME YODH(10) AND THE ENTIRE NETHERWORLD?!" I exclaimed, getting distressed from all of this

As we were talking about what I wanted, we somehow got an audience whispering about me going for Yodh(10)

As I finally got him to understand that I'll just raise my rank to Bet(2) and see from there what is next in store for me

But Azz being Azz he started to proclaim that he will help me get Bet(2) to the students in the cafeteria

I quickly chopped him on the neck, successfully knocking him the fuck out

I looked at all the students and bowed and said sorry for disturbing them then quickly grabbed Azz by the collar and proceeded to drag him outside with Clara following us eating a red bean bun

-Timeskip-

As Azz finally got back to the land of the demonic living

He quickly said that he was sorry for causing such inconvenience then proceeded to show us something

As we walked silently to our classroom, only to go further down some more to a sports center at the underground of Babyls

This actually surprised me to find out that there was a place like this which was even further underground than our classroom

Not wasting any moment Clara quickly talked to connor and murf about more space to run around to their hearts content then she does her spinning ball attack

Rolling down the somewhat stairs all the way down to the center while saying "Rolling~" in a sing song manner

We both went down as well, walking not rolling

As we were all together at the center, Azz went in front of us and started to explain the eank advancement test and what the test was about. He explained what execution ball cannon was, basically it's like dodge ball but back then in the netherworld you could have called it death ball

Azz made Clara summon some demon puppets to fill in the spots for the teams then we started playing

'This really is dodgeball' I thought to myself as I caught the ball only to have the feeling that I was about to get hit by something. I quickly moved to the side and then boom

I saw a ball made a crater on the wall. I looked behind me and saw it was Sabro with the others behind him, joining in on the game

As time went on I quickly realised that the difference in strength is clear

I can catch and throw the ball, no problem but everytime I catch the ball my hands always hurts and when I throw the ball they could easily catch it

They were still playing so I said I was going to go see Grandpa

As I went to his office, I knocked on the door then opened it, to see Grandpa sitting on his chair and Opera standing next to him

"Grandpa can you help me?" I asked

"Nagisa-kun, what did I tell you? You have to call me headmaster when at school but it can't be helped. Nagisa-kun always calls me grandpa so I'll let it go just this once. Hehe. So what can I help you with?" Grandpa said

I then started to explain about me wanting to raise my rank and that I want to be able to win the advancement test which was exection ball cannon

Next thing I know we were back at home practicing with Grandpa teaching me the spell "libera" and him assigning Opera as my teacher

#Since Nagisa knows how to throw and catch and dodge. Opera's plan was to get him fit as best as he can for the test#

-Timeskip-

It was the day of the rank advancement test, we were placed on two teams with me and Clara on the same team while Azz was on the enemy team, which he was very vocal about

As we played the game, I was just dodging and taking out people until only me and Azz were left with him having the ball

He smiled but then took a second and thought for a while not long after getting a look of determination from him and the aura that surrounds him became different like he was out to kill

I took off his coat and set the ball on fire. He let out a battle cry and threw the ball with all of his strength

I quickly steeled my nerves and caught the ball then using my ring to eat his magic quickly cast libera using the same momentum and threw it back at him, taking him out of the game

A whistle was heard and Kalego-sensei's voice shouted "Winner Team A" getting cheers from my classmates

#The same thing happened Nagisa got Bet(2), Kalego explained somethings, Sabro didn't rank up, Ameri came to congratulate him, Went back home celebrated and thanked Grandpa and Opera#

As I lay down in bed I thought aloud "This was a fun day!"
