Anos and other students receive letters from an owl, which invites them to the Demon King Academy, the school that nurtures the descendants of the Founder, the Demon King of Tyranny. On the first day of the entrance exam, Anos meets Misha, another student who is also being embarrassed because of the encouraging words from her guardian. When arriving at the entrance, they are mocked by Zepes, a famous demon from Indu Family. Anos completely ignores him, which makes him angry and attempts to burn them with . Anos easily blow out the flame like a match flame, then make Zepes regretting what he had done using the power of words.

At the practical exam, Anos and Zepes are placed in the arena and had to fight. Zepes had brought a family sword passed from generation to generation, Demon Sword Zefreed, and tried attacking Anos, but he was easily dodging. With ease, Anos again put the sword flame out. He then told Zepes that he will give himself a handicap and won't move, and infused his heart with magic. After hearing Anos's heartbeat, Zepes suffered great injuries. Zepes told him he will never surrender and that he can only make him surrender using compulsion magic. To make things interesting Anos told him he won't use such magic, and then with a finger flick, he made Zepes' head fly. Anos then revived him and kept killing him, declaring that he could keep reviving him due to the "three-second rule" by using , until Zepes started fearing him and accepted his defeat.

At the magical assessment, Misha gets 100,246, while Anos destroys the crystal due to his potent magic power, receiving a 0. Next, at the aptitude test, students are questioned about the Demon King of Tyranny.

After the test, Misha waits for Anos before the entrance and is invited to his home. They use  to go, which surprised Misha since it was lost magic during the Mythical Age. Anos's parents are very delighted that Anos brought home a "wife," and though they are misunderstanding the situation, Anos says he will clear it up later. The four eat dinner, mushroom gratin which is Anos's favorite food to celebrate Anos's acceptance into the academy.

Later, as Anos and Misha walk outside, an arena begins to form around them with . They run into Zepes's older brother, Leorig Indu, another Royal.

Zepes excitedly announces that his brother will defeat Anos, but Leorig attacks Zepes with magic and kills his brother. Leorig then proceeds to announce his family had no need for a weakling such as Zepes, and then, along with his group of Royals, begins to prepare magic circles. However, their magic power runs out of control and the group explodes. Leorig successfully avoids death by containing his magic and then prepares the high death risk spell, . He attacks Anos and is stunned when the dust clears and Anos stands there unharmed. Anos declares that Origin Magic does not work on the origin itself and proclaims himself as the Demon King of Tyranny, which no one believes. Leorig is angered that Anos is making light of the Founder's great deeds, and Anos replies "How is talking about myself making light of my great deeds".

Anos wonders about the brotherly bonds in this Magical Age, 2,000 years later. He then says because Leorig risked his life for a dangerous spell, he will give Leorig a chance. He revives Zepes as a zombie using  and Zepes begins to attack Leorig. Anos tells Leorig to call out Zepes's name and prove their bond as brothers. Leorig yells out at the last moment and then he dies. Anos then remarks on the flimsy brotherly bonds in the new era, then says he's got his hands full with them, before reviving Zepes and Leorig and destroys the arena. Then as Zepes and Leorig wonder who Anos is, Anos declares he is the Demon King of Tyranny.

Anos enters his new class and makes another terrible joke. He also wonders why people are staring at him. It turns out this is due to his badge, which has a cross on it. This labels him as a "misfit", thus making him the Misfit at Demon King Academy.

Anime Differences

 * The battle between Leorig Indu and Anos happened during the night in the anime, unlike the web novels.
 * In the web novel, the magic power and aptitude exam were supposed to be after his fight with Leorig, not before like in the anime.
 * Also, Anos doesn't bring Misha to his house until after his fight with Leorig. But the anime has Misha meet Anos' parents before the fight.
