The Misfit of Demon King Academy Episode 3

"Misha Necron... never existed in this world in the first place"

- Misha Necron to Anos Voldigoad

Sasha's True Intentions (サーシャの真意) is the third episode of The Misfit of Demon King Academy anime series.

Synopsis
"One last thing, I'm glad I got to meet you." Without being able to understand Sasha's true intent behind these final words, much time has passed, and Ivis, one of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors, holds a special class at the Demon King Academy called the Great Magic Training. The Seven Elder Demon Emperors are seven demons that Anos, the founding ancestor, created from his own blood. Emilia implores Anos to act respectfully to Ivis, but without hesitation, he speaks to Ivis in a condescending tone.

Summary


On the way home, Misha and Sasha ask each other if they like Anos. Sasha denies it but is glad since he can look straight into her eyes without being destroyed by her Magic Eyes of Destruction. She reminisces about the past, telling Misha that she could always look straight into her eyes. Sasha then apologizes to Misha, and she forgives her.



Ivis Necron, one of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors that Anos created from his own blood, is in charge of the great magic lesson. Anos realizes Ivis does not remember him, so he sends Ivis back in time to retrieve his memories, only to realize someone actually altered the past itself. Hence, everyone believes the Demon King to be "Avos Dilhevia". Ivis decides to remain neutral since Anos also possesses the necessary power to change the past, and he is not sure if he can trust Anos yet.

Students are told to collect magic items from the dungeon for the next exam. Anos decides to collect a scepter at the dungeon's lowest level to receive a perfect score and quickly gets there since he knows all the routes. After collecting the scepter, he allows Misha to take one of his personal items for Sasha's birthday, the Phoenix Robe. However, Sasha stabs Misha and claims she was never their ally but was waiting for a chance to betray them. She also states that if Anos lays a hand on her, magic will activate to push the knife deeper into Misha's body. Still, Anos ignores this and catches Sasha's hand while she is flying away, revealing that he healed Misha as soon as he entered the room and put an illusion instead.



Anos claims she is lying since her Magic Eyes of Destruction should have activated under intense emotion, but they did not when she got heated talking about how much she hated Misha. At Misha's request, Anos lets Sasha go, and she flees with the robe and scepter. Misha then reveals to Anos that she will disappear when she and Sasha turn 15 and that the person he thinks of as Misha does not actually exist.

Adaptation Notes
Differences from the light novel:
 * In the light novel, Anos modifies and enhances Ivis Necron's fusion spell Jie Gum during the lecture, causing further bewilderment for the class and surprising Ivis.
 * Anos is told about the Seven Elder Demon Emperors during class, moments before Ivis arrives. In the light novel, it was the night before when Sasha kissed him.
 * The scene where Misha talks about the letter from Episode 1 being a good luck charm is original to the anime.
