Description
Balam Shichiro, a demon educator at Babyls Demon School, oversees the Imaginary Things Research Division with a blend of intellectual rigor and quiet empathy. Towering at 193cm, his avian-like legs and masked visage—concealing facial scars and sharp fangs—initially unsettle students. Yet beneath this intimidating exterior lies a tenderhearted scholar captivated by the intricacies of life. Once sporting long hair, he trims it short after sensing student unease, though its gradual regrowth mirrors his journey toward embracing his unique identity.
A pivotal childhood clash with a bird-like monster left him scarred but instilled a profound reverence for living creatures, steering him toward biology and mythic-beast studies. This expertise propelled his victory in the Harvest Festival as a student, where he outmaneuvered rivals through deep ecological knowledge. During these formative years, he forged an enduring bond with Naberius Kalego, unfazed by his quirks, as both became loyal subordinates to their senior, Opera.
His bloodline ability, "Buzzer," enables lie detection—a skill he wields as an exam proctor to root out dishonesty. Ranked Chet (8), he balances brawn with tactical ingenuity, conjuring wooden dragons to neutralize threats nonlethally. As a mentor, he devises grueling training programs for protégés like Asmodeus Alice and Sabnock Sabro, shielding them from perilous adversaries such as the renegade instructor Atori.
Meeting Iruma Suzuki, a human student, ignites his academic fervor when the boy’s wingless form confirms his long-held theories. This discovery transforms him into both protector and tutor; he crafts tailored educational guides for Iruma while gently urging caution in a demon-dominated world. Their growing rapport inspires him to soften his appearance, symbolizing his commitment to fostering trust.
Though stern in his duties, he tempers discipline with compassion, participating in events like the Walter Park outing and Heartbreaker trials to safeguard pupils alongside colleagues. His interactions with Iruma and others reveal a struggle between his thirst for discovery and fear of alienating those he cherishes—a tension eased through shared vulnerability. Spin-off narratives further depict him guiding students through biological studies, cementing his legacy as an insightful yet relatable figure within the academy’s halls.
