Chapter 1

Reincarnation and Invitation (転生と招待状, Tensei to Shōtaijō) is the 1st chapter of The Misfit of Demon King Academy manga adaptation.

Summary
During the Mythical Age, the Hero Kanon, the Goddess of Creation Militia, and the Great Spirit Reno met with the Demon King Anos at the Demon Castle Delsgade to bring an end to the war. Anos allows them to take his life as he releases all his power to divide the world. In his last moments, Anos promises Kanon to become friends if they ever met again.

2,000 years later, a young couple, Gusta and Izabella, contemplate at their newborn child as they think of how to name him when suddenly the baby introduces himself as "Anos Voldigoad". Using a growth spell, Anos becomes a kid and spends the next month learning about how much the world has changed.

Then one night, an Ural Owl arrives carrying an invitation to the Demon King Academy. Anos is told about the academy and sees it as an effort to look for the reincarnated Demon King, prompting him to accept as he uses  once again to grow into a young adult. Although Anos intended to go alone, he lets his parents come along after seeing their concern.

On the first day, he meets Misha Necron due to their mutual embarrassment of their guardians' enthusiasm. The two then encounter Zepes Indu, who mocks them for coming with their parents. But Anos not only completely ignores him, but he also blows out his strongest flame as if it was a match's fire, and even compels him to reflect on his own actions.

Anos and Zepes meet again at the practical exam, where they have to beat the other in order to pass. Although Zepes uses his family's sword, he isn't able to land a hit on Anos and the sword's flames are easily extinguished by Anos. To make things more interesting, Anos tells Zepes that he will give himself a handicap and won't take a single step. At first, Zepes thinks Anos is bluffing, but then his blood bursts out as Anos explains that he has infused his heartbeats with magic.

Zepes then tells him that he will never surrender even if he dies and that Anos can only make him surrender by using compulsion magic. Anos finds this amusing and makes Zepes' body splatter with a finger flick. Anos then revives him and keeps killing him, declaring that he could keep reviving him forever due to Ingal's "three-second rule". With each resurrection, Zepes become more and more terrified and eventually surrenders.
