Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - Ch. 323 - The abilities of a lord

[Tamerlane]

All the Mephistos I see in fiction are FUCKING TERRIFYING.

Sorry, Zebubra... but I get why you were the bottom runner of the pack.

With a title like "Mindgames King", I am betting that he didn't really punch holes in them, but those are just very realistic illusion that can affect the body directly.

The lack of "effects" in his attack doesn't go with how magic has been shown to us in the series... if we are talking only about the explosive type, we did have a few examples of mind magic and they had the same feel to me, explains his movement too.

Still really powerful.

Deathbattle when?

I kinda have a problem with the power creep of this manga. We haven't really seen an obvious increase in any of the student's abilities, yet they are still blatantly outclassed by their teachers. It seems there will be a major event soon; so unless there is a hyperbolic time chamber, I can't imagine there being a believable increase in power. And yes, I understand this a is a shonen manga.

Well it was mentioned in the Walter Park arc that, because they were only first years, they weren't taught any offensive magic, and thus had to use their bloodline abilities to fight. Now that they're second years, the opportunity to learn offensive magic, and thus greatly increase in power, is now available to them.

 

[Satsuki-Nada]

That's so cool

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Gotta respect him for sparing one of them just to spread the word

 

[suudonym]

I think something worth note about Mephisto's title, which the anons are translating as Mindgames King and misfit scans translated as Gamesman King, is that it uses the kanji 盤外which means "off the board" and refers to things that a player does during a boardgame to psyche out their opponent or otherwise get into their head/throw them off their groove - like making distracting noises or getting up frequently, etc. idk what kind of insight that might give to his abilities, though, if any

This chapter is the reason why I hope the real war doesn't start up soon, Iruma (and his classmates) is definitely outclassed in terms of power and experience.

Plus who doesn't want to see Iruma interact with his harem.

 

[Mas45]

Bang.

 

[NickieTheFool]

Goddamn, mother fucker is super efficient as hell

 

[Angoldd]

Meph is really cool. It seems he's legit... for now.
Bug-chan is hilarious (and her design is top notch). Being Belzebuth, it makes sense that she's quite the glutton/ambitious.
Thanks for translating!

Given the focus given to his eyes I'm going to assume these are occular powers. We've got another Aizen or Itachi on our hands.

I'll laugh if an enemy comes along that focuses on a target with their eyes, and then has to cross their eyes to rip the target apart, like their eyes grabbed and tore the target. Chameleon eyes would be too OP.

Thanks for the chapters.

Can he actually reach their level? Don't forget that he can use magic only thanks to the ring, without it he's a normal human. And the ring gets power from someone that periodically recharges it

not necessarily recharge it. Its first showcase was it could eat any mana. So theoretically, If Iruma is skilled enough, he can have unlimited mana when fighting demon. He just need to keep absorb his opponent's mana.

To be fair, he is able to forcibly absorb magic from others, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ring had a few more tricks up its sleeve. Also, Kirio also works off of borrowed magic, and although he isn't at the level of a crown, he's def not a pushover by any means.

Mephisto is definitely living up to his title of 13 Crown.
Zebubura has charisma.
I want to hear Iruma continue to compliment Bachiko.

I’m thinking of something similar as well. Like the part where it seems like he teleported could just be explained that it was an illusion and he wasn’t there to begin with. It’s also a possibility that there was never that many krakens to begin with and most of them were illusions for the intention of intimidating and scaring off all the other krakens. It would explain why he picked an intimidation tactic rather than just killing all the krakens. And to help with the illusion, he might have convinced Zebubra to help because she fought a real Kraken, so no one would suspect that most of the other Krakens weren’t.

And by default... giving a show of force to his newly acquired territory... in any other story I would say too Machiavellian, but with this one... yeah, I can totally see him doing that.

It was fascinating to think about it because the series made sure to emphasize how their are different type of strengths than just beating the shit out of something, so you would think the 13 crowns would reflect that on having some of their strengths not just being how easily than can kill things. Like how Amaryllis is presumably the pinnacle of seduction. He might be like a super powered Jazz, using their cunning as their strength.

HOWWW DARE U REMINDING ME AGAIN !!!!

I like how it shows just how far above the others the 13 crowns really are and what the power caps of the series are. No matter how powerful you are, something is always better

That's also kinda what I totally disliked about the Gods being introduced and everything around them too. They paint the 13 crowns as so above the rest of the demons but we've seen non 13s do unbelievable levels of power demonstrations and the big three are supposed to be on top of all of that, and even then we've had hint over hint that Sullivan despite the supposed feud over the throne among the three is the one they all think should be there.
And yet we don't see him doing anything in this "Power is everything and the weak must just accept it cuz we're literal demons" land with all this supposed power. What stops him from doing whatever he wants more frequently? If they're suspecting Baal so much why not do more of a demonstration of power? Why are they bound by their laws?
I mean, now they can't cuz that Super Goddess has an eye on him and if they revere them so much then they can't risk angering her, but where's this supposed superiority the rest of the time?
I love the series, but I want a better scale of how far are the strong beings from each other? From our perspective there's no difference between say Naberius' strength and that crown who always seems serious for example. We only know he can't go against Opera and infer Opera probably couldn't go against a crown from how the system's arranged, but we can't see why's that.
We haven't seen what can Opera do that Naberius or Balam can't (only heard them saying they can't go against them), and what can Sullivan actually do (only know he has so much mana he can satiate that Solomon ring).

No matter what, you got a name like Mephisto, you gotta be a crazy ass mf
