Emilia Ludwell/Synopsis

Demon King Academy Arc


Emilia introduces herself to Class 1-2 as their homeroom teacher. She quickly tells them they will be divided into teams and that to be a team leader, one must be able to activate the spell Gyze. As she shows the spell's magic circle and asks who wants to volunteer as a team leader, Anos raises his hand. Since mixed-bloods aren't eligible to become team leaders, she turns him down. But Anos replies that mixed-bloods aren't any inferior to pure-bloods, and they make a deal with Zecht stating that if he can do something to surpass a royalty member, she will accept his nomination. Otherwise he will have to apologize and drop out of school.



He goes to the magic circle and explains that it is flawed, but Emilia objects since no flaws have ever been found in 2,000 years. Anos tweaks it a little bit, and she immediately sees that the spell's effect is 1.5 times higher, but he corrects her by saying that it was doubled. Having no choice, Emilia approves his nomination. She then asks the candidates to introduce themselves and tells the rest of the class to follow the leader of their choice. Emilia also explains that there isn't a limit to how many people can be in a team and that they can switch teams anytime, but if a leader has zero members, they will lose their position.



When Ivis Necron of the Seven Demon Elders was scheduled to give a special lecture to the class, Emilia implores Anos to refrain from doing anything impolite. However, Anos stands up and talks to Ivis casually, causing Emilia to bow and earnestly apologize for his behavior. She also states that Anos will be expelled immediately, but Ivis says it won't be necessary. As the two continue talking, Anos walks up to Ivis and grabs his face, causing Emilia and the whole class to freak out. Ultimately, she was surprised that Ivis let Anos return to his seat unpunished.

She later approaches Anos to give him Misha's badge, stating a member from his group dropped it. When he asks which one, Emilia oddly replies, "The one who's not Sasha". In the afternoon, Emilia meets with the class outside the castle's dungeon to inform them about the Dungeon Exam.

Demon Sword Tournament Arc
In an effort to destroy the Unitarians' best hope for a new order of egalitarianism to be birthed, the radical Royalists including Emilia allowed Anos to participate in the Demon Sword Tournament, so he would be defeated by a royalist thus finally discrediting his belief that mixed-bloods are no different from pure-bloods. However, this backfired as Anos managed to best and humiliate her brother Kurt Ludwell, with an ordinary sword. After Anos advances to the Demon Sword Tournament's finals, Emilia approaches Izabella to take away Anos' sword in an attempt to disqualify him. She tries to fool her by saying that the committee must keep the finalists' swords until the finals, but Izabella becomes suspicious of her. Knowing that she couldn't persuade her, Emilia attacks Izabella and the girls from the Anos Fan Union. She then fires Gusgam towards Izabella, but the girls block it using anti-magic, allowing Izabella to escape. However, the barrier eventually breaks, and they end up getting burned. When Izabella asks why Emilia would hurt her own students, she states that the mixed-bloods are not her students.

Emilia gets furious since the girls keep standing up and singing their annoying song, so she uses Gusgam until their burns are so severe that they can no longer stand up. She then uses Fless to spot Anos' mother from the sky and fire Gusgam at her, but Anos teleports in time to save her. Even though Emilia was quite far away from Anos, she stepped back like she had been struck when Anos called her name. Frightened by his blood lust, Emilia tries to escape by flying, but Anos uses compulsion magic on his words to stop her.

After healing the Anos Fan Union and asking for their names, Anos grabs Emilia by the neck and teleports them to the Arena so that his mother would not worry. He throws her to the floor and creates a demon sword so that she can use it to fight him. Emilia pulls out the sword and slashes Anos, but as soon as she does, an electric current eats into her bod,y and she lets go of it. Anos mocks her for being unable to handle a demon sword, then steps on her head and presses it against the floor.



He then summons the sword to his hand and tells her he might reconsider if she admits he was the Demon King of Tyranny. However, he ends up stabbing Emilia when she refuses. Anos explains that people stabbed by this sword become a seedbed for a hundred poisonous rice worms that will fight and eat each other. The bigger they get, the more pain their host will be in. When one rice worm is left, it merges with the power of the host, turning them into the rice worm. As he continues telling her that she will soon become a rice worm, she gets scared and begs him to stop. When Anos says that it is almost time, a tearful Emilia admits that he is the Demon King of Tyranny, but he refuses.

Emilia couldn't speak anymore and just looked in despair as Anos started counting down. When it reaches zero, nothing changes, so Anos reveals that it was just a lie to mock her. Now full of hatred, Emilia vows revenge against him, stating that even if she can't do it, her children will; if not them, her grandchildren will, and so on. However, Anos returns the glare with ten times the hatred, stating that he will teach her the real reason why he spared her.



He then kicks her onto her back and thrusts his hand to grab her heart, killing her. But afterward, he reincarnates Emilia as a mixed-blood, and no matter how much she looks at her new blood, she is no longer a Royal Demon. Going crazy, she picks up the demon sword on the ground and tries to kill herself, but Anos tells her that he had cursed her source so that she is constantly revived as a mixed-blood. Finally, Anos tells her to look at Dilhade from a mixed-blood's perspective and amend her biased view, before teleporting away.

Hero Academy Arc
Emilia is briefly mentioned by Meno as taking a leave of absence.

Great Spirit Arc
After Avos Dilhevea takes over Midhaze, she proclaims an order of royal supremacy, resulting in royals attacking and stealing the magic from all hybrids in the city. Emilia tries to flee, but is captured by several royals who attack her despite her proclamations to be a royal. When she asks why they are being so cruel, they explain that not being a royal is reason enough causing her to flashback to when she attacked the Fan Union and empathized with them. Before her magic energy can be completely taken, Emilia is saved by Anos's parents. When Izabella is about to be attacked, Emilia steps in and takes the hit instead. Anos arrives shortly after them and eliminates the pure bloods.

Emilia, Anos's parents, and Anos's group all gather at his home, protected by a magical shield. Before Anos goes to the underground city, Emilia states that he was probably satisfied seeing her suffer, and asks him to kill her. Anos surprised her however by revealing that he could turn her back into a royal, but explained that it wouldn't undo anything that happened, and leaving things as they are would result in the royals having complete control, which she originally wanted. He then asks her if she would still find that beautiful if she was a royal. This causes Emilia to cry tears of regret as she felt nothing but great shame over her previous sins towards mixed-blooded demons. Before leaving, Anos thanks her for protecting his mother.

Selection Trial Arc
Not long after the Demon King Reordination Ceremony, one morning when Anos is about to eat breakfast, Emilia comes to his house and asks to hang out with him. While walking towards Delsgade, she confesses that she has nowhere to go and asks Anos for mercy. Hearing that, Anos told Emilia to go and teach the students in the Hero Academy Arclaniska, as it is losing credibility from the people. At first, Emilia refuses because she would be discriminated against since she's a demon. However, after Anos promises to prepare for her a position equivalent to the Seven Demon Elders if she continues to teach there for a year or accomplishes some results at Arclaniska, she finally agrees. Then, he tells Melheis about this for him to prepare.
