"Looks like all team are ready!! Now! It's finally time to ring the starting bell. As all eyes turn to them, full of hope and anticipation... Let... The Heartbreaker... Begin!!"
(Suddenly Team Lied's balloon is popped.)
"Oh! I found you, my student!" ― Bathin Baraki and Bars Robin
Starting Off With A Pop (高らかなる開催の音 Takarakanaru Kaisai no Oto?) is the two hundred-and-twenty-fifth chapter of Osamu Nishi's Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.
Summary[]
As the game begins, a promotional video is played, showing the theme of the Heartbreaker, in which the teachers of Babyls are evil demons terrorizing the Demon World, with their favourite food being the hearts of demons themselves. The Abnormal Class, however, will be playing the role of "Demons of Justice" who will defeat the evil demons and save the hearts of the innocent.
After the video ends, the Broadcast Division explains the rules: the Abnormal Class students have to protect the heart-shaped balloons attached to their two first years student teammates. If both balloons are popped, then the student will be eliminated. They ask Ameri what her thoughts are on the rules, and she replies that the bar is set high because the students do not only have to not only protect their juniors but themselves as well. The Division explains that since this exam is unique, it will give the various second and third-years a chance to see what the first-years are capable of. They ask Ameri which the first year she has her eyes on, and Smoke replies it is Chima. The Division further asks Ameri if she wants to scout her to join the Student Council, with Smoke adding that if they don't scout her soon, she may join another Division instead. It causes Ameri to yell that she won't allow it, which the Broadcast Division believe is because she wants her to join, but the real reason is that she doesn't want Chima to get too close to Iruma.
The Broadcast Division starts to stream the live feed, where they spot Team Iruma, the team that everyone has their eye on, in the second year's tower. They see that Iruma is holding the hands of his two first-years, Chima and Vine Garson, which rages Ameri, and other students also react to this. Iruma asks Chima why they are holding hands, and she replies it is a rule that they have to hold hands until the event starts, and he accepts. This causes the outside watchers to remark that the two have great chemistry, while Ameri sorrows over the fact that she's too tall to take his hand.
After that, Team Alice is shown with Zeze and Silvia while the female students fawn over Alice and Zeze. Other teams are shown, which include Team Clara, consisting of Strow Fuwatoro and Marbas F. Yabashi, Team Sabro, consisting of Ronron and Pulu Puko, Team Kerori, consisting of Gebatee Yan and Valefar Chacha, Team Allocer, consisting of Hon Rin Chan and Ras Mozumi, Team Caim, consisting of Pheené Marianne and Uzu (much to their displeasure), and Team Agares consisting of Aim Oolo and Incu Pamela.
The focus shifts to Team Lied, whose two first-years seem to idolize him, much to his pleasure. His ego swelling, Lied decides that their first move should be confronting the enemy directly. Unfortunately for him, the literal second the event begins, one of his balloons is popped by Bars Robin!
