Anos Voldigoad/Synopsis

Demon King Academy Arc
While Anos was reborn as the mixed-blooded child of Gusta and Izabella, his root restored his true demon form immediately after his birth. As his parents were discussing what they should name him, Anos, having immediately inherited the memories from his previous life, stated that his name was Anos Voldigoad, which shocked his parents. Finding an infant's body inconvenient, he quickly uses Kurst to age himself into a child. Despite his odd behavior, Anos's parents assume that he is a prodigy of some sort and shower him with love and affection. Over time, Anos learns of the degradation of magic as well as the mixing of bloodlines that have occurred over the last 2,000 years.

One month later, Anos receives an invitation to the Demon King Academy. The messenger explains the academy's purpose, and deciding to attend, Anos uses Kurst again to age himself into a teenager. That night, Anos attempts to leave, only to be caught by his parents. He explains that he received an invitation to the academy, and his parents decide to go with him, to which Anos agrees.

When going to the entrance exam, his parents loudly cheered on Anos. He then meets Misha Necron, who is also being cheered at. Before they can enter the building, Zepes Indu mocks them for coming to the exam with their parents, only for Anos to ignore him and keep walking. Anos then mocks his magic power, angering him to the point of using fire magic to try and intimidate Anos. However, Anos is unimpressed and casually blows out the fire with a sigh. Angered even more, the boy tries to fight Anos, but Anos tells him to wait, and Zepes freezes, unable to move his body. He and Misha went on but had to go to different sections.

Upon entering the arena for the combat portion of the exam, it is revealed that his opponent is Zepes. As the match begins, Zepes tries to attack Arnos with his flaming demon sword, Zephrid, but Anos easily extinguishes the flames once again. Zepes then mocks Anos, leading Anos to proclaim that he will defeat Zepes without moving or activating magic circles. This infuriates Zepes, who tries to attack Anos again, only for blood to explode out of his body, and he falls to the ground. Anos explains that he used magic to enhance the sound of his heartbeat to damage Zepes's organs. Zepes declares that he won't give up and that the only way Anos could beat him is with compulsion magic.

Anos takes that as a challenge, and the two use Zecht to prevent Anos from using compulsion magic, with the match only ending if Zepes yields. Anos then flicks Zepes, causing his body to explode and scatter. He then uses Ingall to revive Zepes, only to kill him again. He does this twice in succession, even cracking a joke before Zepes gives up. Anos is then declared the winner of the match.

A break before his next match is offered, but Anos declines. He then sees Zepes killed by his older brother Leorg. Anos says that weakness is not a good reason for him to kill his brother, but Leorg argues that losing to one of mixed blood makes him a failure. Leorg then explains that royals hold the Founder's blood and are thereby superior. Anos mocks this mindset, and Leorg asks if he's making light of the Founder, to which Anos explains that he is the Founder. Leorg ad his cronies threaten Anos, to which Anos invites all of the royals in the audience to join in the fight, which they do. As the fight starts, Anos makes all of their magic power to go out of control, causing most of the royals to self-destruct. Leorg then uses the origin magic Jirasd to attack Anos, but Anos remains unaffected. Anos reveals that since he is the origin from whom Leorg borrows power, he is immune to the spell.

Anos tests Leorg, reviving Zepes as a zombie with Igram. He explains that as a zombie, Zepes is now stronger than Leorg, so he has no reason to hate him. He then tells Leorg to attack his brother, telling Leorg to use their brotherly bond to snap Zepes out of his rage, explaining that the two of them together might be able to damage him. Anos, however, is disappointed when Leorg cannot calm down Zepes, resulting in Zepes killing Leorg. He then revives the two brothers, leaving them behind as he proceeds to the next part of the exam.

Anos meets up with Misha in the magical evaluation section. As Anos goes to measure his power, he unintentionally overloads the device, resulting in the crystal shattering and Anos receiving a score of 0. After moving on to the aptitude portion, he is asked a series of questions about the Founder, and he answers all of them with no issue. After the exam, Anos invites Misha to have dinner with his family, and she accepts. Anos teleports them to his home with Gatom. They are quickly greeted by Izabella, who is thrilled that Anos passed the exam, but she and Gusta misinterpret Misha as Anos's girlfriend. After a dinner of Mushroom Gratin, Anos walks her home.

The following day, Anos receives many odd looks on his way to the academy. After entering his classroom, Anos tells everyone that he will rule them all as a joke, but no one reacts. He then sees Misha and sits by her. He asks her about everyone's odd behavior, and she reveals the cross on his uniform designated him as a misfit, unfit to be a demon king. Having a theory about how he was given that designation, Anos asks Misha to tell him the name of the Founder. Still, when she refuses, he reads her mind, learning that the Founder is believed to be Avos Dilhevia. This new information leads Anos to speculate that the wrong name was passed down in recorded history.
