""The Ring of Gluttony" is a demon tool that can contain the user's magic pool. However, it doesn't yet possess much power, so it indiscriminately consumes the power of those around it. However, it seems to have charged enough, so it's become harmless. And since you've already used it, we can no longer remove it." ― Lord Sullivan
The Ring of Gluttony (悪食の指輪 Akujiki no Yubiwa?, or The Gluttonous Feeder Ring in the official English volume) is the eighth chapter of Osamu Nishi's Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.
Summary[]
The flying race has ended, and the students of the Misfit Class are assigned their new ranks, with one student obtaining something else altogether.
Plot[]
After the flying race, different students chat, showing off their new ranks received from the ranking owl to one another. Alice received Rank 4, "Daleth," while Clara achieved Rank 3, "Gimel." Meanwhile, Iruma has instead pulled a strange golden ring from the owl. He quickly finds the ring won't come off, even as he pulls it as hard as he can.
He requests help from the other students, but they quickly back away in fear as he approaches. Iruma is initially confused before he sees a menacing shadow on his shoulder and panics, and realizes it is coming from the ring on his hand. The shadow begins to scream, the wailing echoing throughout the entire school. Only Iruma is unaffected as the rest of the student body collapses in pain. He attempts to silence the creature but instead cradles it in his arms and accidentally rocks it to sleep.
It quickly awakes, and Sabro approaches, claiming that dealing with the creature will be a piece of cake. However, a single touch to his nose is enough to knock the demon out, collapsing where he stands. Next, Alice approaches, but with the same result. It is revealed that the creature is draining its magical energy. Kalego attempts to remove the ring but is met with a powerful hallucination; the creature rips off his arm and flashes violently before his eyes. He withdraws, shaken, realizing he was given a warning. He decides to exterminate the creature, possibly along with Iruma (or his arm), before being stopped by Sullivan.
The creature attacks, but Sullivan subdues it with a single tap. The ravenous hunger of the ring stopped in an instant. The ring is revealed to be called the "Ring of Gluttony," a powerful magic tool that can act as an artificial mana pool but indiscriminately devours magical power from the demons around it. Hunger sated; however, it was now harmless, if irremovable from Iruma's hand.
Without a rank from the ranking owl, Iruma is ranked 1 (Aleph). Finally satisfied that he's received a reasonable evaluation, he leaves class unaware that even more exaggerated rumors of his adventures in Karakiri Valley begin to circulate.
