Judging by his mom I am excited to see what Alice can do.

I'm sure there's a very specific reason Alice doesn't use his bloodline ability and I'm sure it's because it embarrasses him.

Considering his mom is probably the most famous succubus in the realm, I imagine it's some kind of seduction ability.

That'd probably overlap a bit too much with Elizabetta's ability which is also a seduction one. It's likely connected to his preference in fire magic, but might be something like a white fire that can inflame people's passions and make them more powerful and when used on himself turns him into a giant dork of some kind.

"Go on until you're stopped."
I feel like something at least vaguely flirty has to be involved, if only because the only thing I can think of that Asmodeus would find really and truly embarrassing is something that implies disloyalty to his beloved Iruma-sama.

I don't think it's unique to Iruma-kun, but Nishi is absolutely the best author of all the current series I read for making the relationship between cast members wholesome as gently caress. The way the misfits interact with each other really sells how close they are as a group and I'm glad that Alice is getting another slice of that pie this chapter with how his own mother's advice allowed Iruma to avert Alice divulging something sensitive despite his severe loyalty to Iruma. And then there's the matter of Clara's wings

You're going to job Alice, but you're going to job in style.

So I get the impression that Ifrit-sensei is like Kalego in that they don't have a traditional familiar and have some kind of animate mana that's unique to their bloodlines. Also Alice did all that just to slightly annoy a teacher is a nice way to keep the educators on top. RIP my boy Camui, he'll rebound next chapter I'm sure.

Sort of feels like an AU where Iruma made friends when his terrible parents sent him to do dangerous work.

Waiting for Sabnock to pierce the top 10, he's among my favorite of the Misfits. Also surprised that Agares got that high up. Chestnut head's beauty really does win over the masses.

I know it's coming. He's the noble lion, battle buddy with Iruma's best friend and his uncle is the leader of the main antagonistic force. I can wait for Sabnock's arc because all the pieces are in place and after that he'll probably be much more prominent in the story.

I think one thing that helps Kamui be more tolerable than other, similar characters is that he's mostly just a gigantic simp rather than an actual sex criminal. Like, there's times when he crosses the line, but they seem much rarer and easier to ignore than what folks like Mineta and Sanji get up to.

The fact that he gave some good advice about not taking advantage of a girl when effectively drunk does help as well.

Yeah, I don't remember Camui ever groping girls or making inappropriate comments to young girls the way Mineta did. Even when he teamed up with Crocell in the forest he never once made a pass at her.

I'd be impressed if he wins his fight with the teacher here by not doing the "haha he does a sexual harassment to make his enemy uncomfortable" solution that you see in other manga.
