Revest Aynie

Revest Aynie (リーベスト・エイニー) is a student of Class 3-1 at the Demon King Academy.

Appearance
Revest has brown hair and light-colored eyes. He is wearing the royalist version of the demon school academy uniform.

Personality
He's very kindhearted and doesn't want to hurt anybody, initially refusing to develop his  or any offensive magic for that matter. After being taught by Menou that the Demon King used his strength to protect people, Revest began having immense respect for the Founder, to the point of becoming a Royalist and developing a more confident and arrogant personality. Despite that, his kindhearted nature is still present.

Like other royals, he stubbornly believes that a mixed blood can't be the Demon King of Tyranny and vehemently refuses to acknowledge any other way of thinking. Though, his ignorance became irrelevant upon Anos’ coronation.

History
Revest was an underachiever when he first enrolled in Demon King Academy, in fact, he was close to dropping out. He hated the founding ancestor for all the atrocities that he had committed, but even more so for the fact that he shared his blood. Since the academy was combat-focused, Revest even thought about quitting. It wasn't until Menou Historia talked to him that he began to see the founder in a different light. She told him that the founder might've been similar to Revest. If it wasn't to protect the demon kind, why would the founder use a spell that distributes his power and weakens him? After that, he gained a respect for the demon founder far more intense than anyone else and took pride in his own lineage. For this reason, he can't forgive Anos Voldigoad for claiming to be the founder, believing him to be a fake, and antagonizing at any given opportunity.

Hero Academy Arc
Shortly before the Inter-Academy Exam, Revest gets into a small dispute with Anos over which class will face the Hero Academy first, which is eventually settled after Anos concedes. The third-years go first, but they are soon overwhelmed by the heroes because the battleground was rigged with holy water. Because Diego was purposely neglecting the safety of the students from the Demon King Academy, Anos had to get them out of the lake personally. At first, Revest refused to get treated by Anos, but he concedes after seeing Menou crying. Revest also shows Anos the badge of the Hero Academy that he took, which was used to control the holy water. With tears on his face, Revest was about to beg when Anos stopped him, telling Revest to leave the rest to him.

Great Spirit Arc
Revest and the rest of his class were suddenly attacked by a first-year who kidnapped their teacher. Anos eventually notices something wrong in their classroom, and frees them from a dimensional prison with Sasha's help. Revest tells him about their attacker, Linka Theournes, and reveals that he put a tracking spell on her, allowing the Necron sisters to go after her.

Anos Voldigoad
While Revest absolutely detests Anos for claiming to be the founder despite being branded as a "misfit"; he respects his power, confessing that he felt satisfied when Anos created a holy sword and hurt the ego of the Hero Class. After the hero class cheated and humiliated Revest and his team during the Inter-Academy exam, he swallowed his pride and was about to earnestly ask Anos to restore their pride as demons when he was stopped by Anos, stating that he already knew. After the Demon King Ceremony, Revest most likely finally accepted Anos as the founding ancestor and made amends with him for his ignorance.

Menou Historia
Revest shows a large amount of affection and respect to his teacher even in public, even to the point of wanting revenge thanks to Diego insulting her. Both share a close bond as Menou had acted like a mother figure when he was struggling in school.
