"You ought to be more careful about identity!! You're an endangered creature!! If people find out that your wings are fake, it could be big trouble for you!! [...] Not everyone is going to react to a human the way I did, you know!? There are demons out there who could swallow you whole, you understand!? Do you understand!? You are too naive of a creature, boy!!" ― Balam Shichiro
A Shocking Fact (衝撃の事実 Shōgeki no Jijitsu?, or A Shocking Revelation in the official English volume) is the sixty-fourth chapter of Osamu Nishi's Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.
Summary[]
Just as Iruma says he is human, he returns to his senses after realizing what he just said. Shichiro asks if he just said he was human and can't lie. Iruma confirms he is human, and Shichiro falls over in excitement. He asks about the wings they saw, and Iruma reveals they were fake. Shichiro asks about his tail, and Iruma says he doesn't have one. Shichiro immediately backs away from him, saying he may be unable to hold himself back. Iruma worries he wants to eat him but is surprised when he says he is holding himself back from touching him.
Shichiro gets super excited that the creature he had fantasized about all his life is real and that his earlier suspicions were correct. Iruma asks if he will eat him, and Shichiro says that while he is very curious about him, he considers humans an endangered species, so he won't, which surprises Iruma. Seeing how much Shichiro wants to touch him, Iruma touches his face, causing him to fall over. Shichiro gets back up immediately and scolds Iruma for being careless about his identity, and if he gets found out, it will be trouble for him. Iruma says he hasn't been caught yet, but Shichiro reminds him that not every demon he encounters will react as he did, so he lectures him on his naivety. Iruma eventually returns home but admits how much of a nice person Shichiro actually is.
At school, Iruma and Alice see their classmates wholly exhausted, feeling that not matter no matter how hard they studied, they don't feel any closer to passing the test, even though they have only been doing it for a day. Alice asks if they have a more organized way of studying and if they should ask someone capable of helping. The students organize themselves between the smart ones and dumb ones, as it shows that the ones most likely to pass are Sabro, Schneider, Alice himself, and Kerori (who was away with work). Everyone else is considered dumb as worms. Alice immediately dismisses helping the others because he is busy with Iruma, so everyone despairs that their summer vacation will be ruined. Iruma asks if they have already made plans, and the others explain that among the various exciting places to explore, Walter Park is the number one attraction to go to in the Demon World, which excites Iruma because his previous summers were all about him working. Lied and the others tell Iruma they should all go to Walter Park together, which excites Iruma, though the happy atmosphere is ruined by the arrival of Kalego, who reminds them if they can't pass the test, they will not go. Kalego reveals he will be the test examiner, which upsets the other students. Jazz adds that since he is the administrator, none of them will be able to cheat because he can pick them out.
Everyone's attention is then turned to Shichiro, hanging out by the door to the room. Everyone starts panicking if he will experiment on them before Kalego walks over to him and greets him like a friend, which shocks everyone. Iruma asks how they know each other, and Shichiro explains he and Kalego were classmates and alumni. They resume talking with one another while the other students are left shocked that Kalego actually has friends (and get punished by Kalego for what they were thinking). Iruma asks Shichiro why he is here, and Shichiro explains he was worried someone would find out he is human and saw Iruma was having trouble with the test, so he offered to make a secret weapon for him.
