· Only non-Misfit student to have been invited at Iruma’s birthday party,

· Only non-Misfit (under the stage name of Merry) to join team Devimuse when it was in dire need to find a strong Evidol,

· 3rd (and only non-Misfit) with whom Kuromu has shared her true identity as Keroli Crocell,

· One (and only non-Misfit) of 3 Babyls’ students to go to the Deviculum and be part of the Trickster Plan,

· Only non-Misfit student to participate in the Seekers & Stealers game along with 4 Misfits.

Not only does she blend well with the Misfits, but she also quickly adapts to and even adopts their antics. When around her friends, Ameri no longer wears her noble and dignified persona that comes with the mask of Student Council President, instead she is simply her.

Furthermore, the first friends Ameri made outside of the Student Council and Iruma are 3 Misfits: Clara Valac, Keroli Crocell and Elizabetta Ix, the latter of whom she would even exchange phone numbers with.

Nishi teased Team Devimuse’s roster for the next edition of the Evidol Games by having Kuromu say it would stay unchanged, meaning Ameri is very likely to return as an Evidol once more (and possibly as a Misfit this time around too).

I suspect Nishi may build soon an arc around the idea of Exchange Students, especially between Iruma, Razberry and Leiji. The reason I bring forth this concept is because I cannot imagine any of the Top 5 Demon King Potentials to not take a step inside Royal One at least once.

As such I believe all three of Razberry, Leiji and Ameri will get the opportunity to do so in the near future. Failure to accomplish this task would skew the bias too much in favor of Alice and especially Iruma, which in my opinion doesn’t work from a narrative standpoint.

That’s another reason why I think Ameri may become a Misfit in the future even if her opportunities to step inside Royal One will be scarce considering the nature of the second half of Babyls’ curriculum.

One last observation: although non-canon, I find interesting how the second opening of the anime showcases a fight between the 13 Misfits + Ameri and a Demon. Hint or fanservice from the anime team? Either way Ameri fits just fine with the group at least from a visual standpoint.

It may feel weird to have a potential classmate with a higher rank than Iruma in the Abnormal Class at this point of the story, but this was the case for the majority of Iruma’s 1st Year and yet this didn’t prevent him to be seen as the de facto leader of the Misfits.

All in all, Ameri becoming a Misfit kills two birds with one stone: she gets to thrive in an optimal environment for her academic skills, and she also gets to close the distance with Iruma little by little without the need to rush the relationship.

With all that being said, I am also aware of that one bothersome roadblock regarding Ameri as the 14th Misfit: the Misfits are also called “The 13 Crowns of Babyls”, which is problematic since the real 13 Crowns are still 13 to this day. We shall see how it plays out in the end.

[CONCLUSION] After pondering about Iruma’s academic future, I have come to the conclusion that Iruma and the Misfits will get to skip Year 3, resulting in them beginning their practical studies.

From there, Iruma will take a path in practice teaching and so will Ameri. Possibly Ameri will be transferred to the Abnormal Class to give her the best environment to both improve herself and inspire her future classmates.

[CLOSING WORDS] Never forget that at the end of the day all the ideas I presented in this thread are only my thoughts and analysis put on display. You can call this thread a theory or a glorified headcanon, it doesn't bother me either way.

I always keep in mind that my thoughts may end up being way off the mark, but that’s part of the game. Whatever Nishi has decided for the future I know she will treat her characters with due respect, which is why I won’t shelve Iruma-kun anytime soon regardless of the outcome.
