Synopsis

The tyrannical Demon King has been reincarnated after 2000 years. However, his suitability to the academy that educates candidates to become the new Demon King... renders him a misfit! Anos Voldigoad was a tyrannical Demon King that eradicated humans, spirits, and even the gods, but became bored of eternal warfare and reincarnated with dreams of a peaceful world. However, what awaited him in reincarnation after 2000 years were descendants who became too weak after being accustomed to peace, and all sorts of magic that deteriorated to the extreme.

Anos enters Demon King Academy that gathers and educates those who are viewed as the reincarnation of the Demon King, but the academy cannot see through his true powers and ends up branding him as a misfit. Furthermore, they already assumed that the legendary Demon King was someone completely different.

While everyone insults him as inferior, he counts Misha, the one girl sympathetic to his cause, as his subject. The misfit Demon King races up the hierarchy of the demonic world!

”Divine providence, destiny, miracles... before my eyes, they all grovel and are eradicated.”
