Asmodeus Alice (アスモデウス・アリス) is one of the main deuteragonists of the series. He is friends with Iruma Suzuki, though self-proclaimed loyal servant of the latter, and considered to have a great amount of magic and power.
Appearance
Alice has a tall stature and feminine features. He has fair skin and medium-length light-pink hair. He has pointed ears and his eyes are magenta with long eyelashes. Instead of wearing Babylus' school uniform, Alice wears a formal set of his own. He wears a black dress shirt under a white waistcoat and an elegant white overcoat with gold trim, complimenting the gold-trimmed boots and white trousers. His overall appearance has gained him the affection and admiration of numerous female students.
Personality
Initially, Alice was egotistical and somewhat hotheaded. To most others, Alice appears cold and blunt and does not often appear nice the others. He takes great pride in his abilities, fire magic, and studies. The Asmodeus family butler, David, has said that Alice had been unapproachable since his childhood due to his intelligence and high use of magic and only recently changed to a much happier version thanks to interacting with Iruma. Since being defeated by Iruma, Alice has shed his arrogant and self-centered attitude but still appears competitive with specific demons, such as Sabro.
Toward Iruma, Alice is incredibly kind and loyal. He often helps Iruma better understand the ways of the netherworld and of the school. Since proclaiming himself as Iruma's servant, Alice often does what he can to make sure Iruma is cared for and happy. While he acknowledges that Iruma is still naïve about certain aspects of the netherworld, he greatly admires Iruma's kind and generous nature. As such, Alice is very protective of Iruma and often becomes angered when he believes others are insulting or bothering Iruma.
History
While not much is known about Alice prior to the events of the main storyline, he is said to have been a highly talented demon since childhood. Because of his advanced skills in magic and his noble lineage as a member of the prestigious Asmodeus family, Alice was noted to have unfortunately been subject to other demons keeping their distance from him since he appeared more skilled and advanced than them. During the entrance ceremony at the start of the school year, Alice is revealed to be the top student of the first-year class with the highest entrance marks.
Synopsis
Babyls Enrollment Arc
On the first day of school, Alice was supposed to present a speech as the freshman representative, and as the student who ranked first in the entrance examination during the morning assembly. This, however, was stopped as Alice was making his way to the podium due to Sullivan's intervention as the principal, instead having Iruma the "honor student" give the speech.[2]
Later during the day, Alice confronted Iruma in the school's courtyard for "stealing" the opportunity to give the speech, leading to a duel between the two of them. Alice used fire magic in order to strike Iruma, however, all of Alice's attacks were dodged by Iruma's "Overwhelming Crisis Evasion Capability". After 20 minutes of trying to land a hit against Iruma, Alice resorted to using martial arts. This too, however, was evaded by Iruma, leading to the attack be directed at Eiko Oni only to be stopped by Iruma, leading to a German Suplex and knocking Alice out. After the duel, Alice once again confronted Iruma but this time pledged his undying loyalty to him as his servant since he was defeated by Iruma and demon law states that the loser must serve the winner.[3]
When Alice and Iruma were on their way to get their textbooks, they ran into Valac Clara, who was playing with boxes lying around in school. When a teacher noticed them talking, he sent all three of them on their way telling Iruma and Alice to take care of Clara. This event led to Clara inviting the duo to play with her, initially rejecting, Alice eventually played along as Iruma was unable to turn down Clara.
On their first-class activity (flying race), Alice was the first one to reach the finish line. After the class, he was given the rank of Daleth (4) by the ranking owl.
Cannonball Execution Arc
Alice, along with Clara and Opera helped train Iruma for the Execution Cannonball, an activity in which freshmen can rank up. He commented on how Iruma is able to train consistently, considering that demons normally don't have the patience for such activities.
On the day of the Execution Cannonball, Alice was assigned to the red team along with Caim, Allocer, Lied, and Gaap. By being on Iruma's opposing team, Alice spent the entire match thinking of ways in order to help Iruma from his end, as the game proceeded he did not notice that he and Iruma were the last players standing on both sides. He then considered losing on purpose, however, upon seeing Iruma's determination, decided to give it his all, eventually resulting in him losing from Iruma's counterattack.
Battler Party Arc
During the Battler Exhibition, Alice, along with Clara, and Iruma joined the Magic Apparatus Battlers headed by Amy Kirio. In preparation for the Battler Party, they decided to do a firework presentation as their entry.
On the eve of the Battler Party, unknown to the group, Kirio was planning to use the fireworks they made to destroy the school and kill all of the people within it. When Kirio's plan was set into motion, Alice's a thorough knowledge of the school layout, along with Clara's ability to summon magical paper soldiers aided in guiding Iruma to Kirio's location to confront him.
After Kirio's plan was stopped, Alice, along with the group proceeded to push through with their fireworks presentation for the entire school and their families to watch. During the awarding ceremony, the support they received from the students, and their actions during Kirio's attack led them to receive the "Tricky Award", which allows for one member of the Battler to received one rank up, which was given to Iruma.
Akudol Kuromu Arc
Alice, along with Iruma and Clara performed as the opening act during Kuromu's 24-hour live concert when Kuromu passed out in her dressing room due to Iruma's comment on her "not standing out". After Kuromu woke up, they performed a live concert with Kuromu.
Student Council Training Arc
Alice was temporarily assigned to the Magic Development Battlers as the Magical Apparatus Battlers was suspended due to the lack of a third-year student, or at least three lower-year students with at least the rank of Daleth (4).
When Ameri was attacked which resulted in a change in her personality, along with the sudden dissolution election imposed by Ronove Lomiere, he along with Clara conducted a successful investigation at the request of Iruma which led to exposing Elicos Schenell as the culprit of Ameri's personality change.
Royal One Acquisition Arc
When the Abnormal Class was trying to obtain the Royal One as their official classroom, Alice offered to provide his flame magic to the Magic Development Battlers in exchange for them to endorse the Abnormal Class' petition to the teachers involved with that Division.
Walter Park Arc
After the final examination, Alice, along with the Abnormal Park went to Walter Park during their semestral break. During their visit, Alice was grouped with Iruma, Sabro, & Agares with their teacher, Balam Shichiro as their entourage. While they were exploring and having fun at the park, the Six Fingers suddenly attacked by summoning three beasts (Carmine Dragon, Taurus Mountain Bull, & Panther Rat) in order to create chaos as a diversion while breaking out Amy Kirio from the prison below.
During the attack, he and his group fought the Carmine Dragon in order to save the children trapped during the initial attack. As the battle progressed, he was saved by Sabro from a direct attack from the beast that they were fighting. Sabro then encouraged him to retreat leading to Alice strengthening his resolve to become Iruma's indestructible spear.
Harvest Festival Arc
Upon the resumption of classes, their homeroom teacher, Kalego, informed the Abnormal Class that the Royal One requires students who are worthy of its standing, therefore, requiring all students to obtain the rank of Daleth (4) by the end of their first year.
To accomplish the task of reaching rank 4, students were given special tutors to prepare them for the Harvest Festival, an event that allows students to raise their ranks. Alice was paired with Sabro and was assigned Balam as their special tutor. During their training with Balam, they were not allowed to go home until they manage to land a hit on him.
During the four-day Harvest Festival, Alice teamed up with Sabro, together they competed against the Doro-Doro Brothers for the most points. Initially, it was done out of spite due to the Doro-Doro brothers mistakenly assuming that Alice and Sabro "stole General Furfur from them, leaving the front lines in order to teach at Babyls. The competition of both groups led to Alice entering his Evil Cycle in order to fight the Hundred Flaringo which was aggravated by the Doro-Doro Brother's Bloodline Magic "Trigger". When Alice lost control of his rationality due to the Evil Cycle, he was snapped out of it by Sabro which knows his Safe Word. Eventually, both groups came to a proper competition of points for the remaining days of the festival. On the last day of the Harvest Festival Alice was disqualified as he protected Iruma and Clara by directly attacking Orobus Coco for his attempt at using his Bloodline Magic "Trauma" on his friends.
Musical Festival Arc
Alice was part of the Abnormal Class' musical entitled "Lilith's Red Carpet" where he was part of the dance group. After the Music Festival the entire class was promoted to Daleth (4) for their performance (except for him and Lied, as they were already rank 4 to begin with, and Iruma who was promoted to rank 5).

Trivia
- In demonology, Asmodai (also spelled as Ashmodai, Asmodeus, Asmody, and Asmoday) is a Great King of Hell, with 72 legions of demons under his command. He is depicted as a strong and powerful figure, with three heads (a bull's, a man's, and a ram's), a serpent's tail, issuing flames from his mouth, while sitting upon an infernal dragon and holding a lance with a banner. He is also considered one of the Seven Crowned Princes of Hell, representing the Deadly Sin of Lust.
- In "You fit right in now, Iruma kun", it is revealed that he suffers from ichthyophobia (The fear of fish).
- A mistranslation originally labeled Lily and Viole Alice's sisters. Though this was not the case, many fans are not aware that it was an error. The erroneous translation can still be read on many websites, but the original group later corrected the translation to "a relative's children."
- Asmodeus' name has been translated the same way by most translators (Asmodeus). The official romanization released in the character booklet that came with chapter 185 was "Asmdeus." The virtual unpronounceablity of this spelling ultimately made many question the validity of the character booklet's romanizations.
