Demon King Academy Delsgade (魔王学院デルゾゲード Maō Gakuin Deruzogēdo?) is an educational institution that gathers those who had inherited the blood of the Demon King of Tyranny and raises them to become Demon Lords, the ones responsible for governing the demons.
Overview[]
Its ultimate purpose is to find and welcome the reincarnation of the Demon King of Tyranny. However, the academy also plays a role in selecting demons who are deemed worthy to govern the different areas of Dilhade in his absence. Because a handful of this year's incoming students are very promising, they are called the Cohort of Chaos, among which many could potentially be the reincarnated demon king.
After the Demon King Reordination Ceremony, the abolishment of the segregation of demons with the support of several high officials and the Seven Demon Elders led to a new order of egalitarianism to be established between the royal and the mixed-blood demons. Thus, the academy's rules and regulations were changed completely. All types of races, including pure spirits and humans of all suitable ages, were allowed into the academic institution to strengthen and support the new order of equality. New and proper enlightening education has been implanted as the students are being taught to surpass the limitations of their biases.
The building is the former Demon Castle Delsgade, where the Demon King once lived. After his death, it was repurposed into the academy. Because the castle is still the same, Anos can use the spell Delsgade to summon it. If students are inside when this happens, a replica created through Iris appears to take its place. Most students won't notice the switch unless they have good Magic Eyes.[1]
Events[]
- Entrance Exam: To enroll in Delsgade, one has to pass the magic power assessment and aptitude test. But before they can do so, they must first pass a practical test. Candidates must win against five opponents in the arena, where they can use any weapons and gear of their convenience. In addition, members of the royalty have special privileges, such as choosing their opponents and having outsiders help them. After the abolishment of the segregation of demons, the royals lost all their privileges.
- Team Exam: A test that determines how well students can use Gyze. Two teams face off against each other, and the battle lasts until the "king" of one side is removed, or they can no longer maintain Gyze.
- Dungeon Exam: Students form groups to explore the dungeons beneath the castle and bring back any magical tools, armor, or weapons they find to earn points. Any item obtained in the dungeon belongs to the group leader.
- Gairadite Expedition Test: Students have ten days to reach the human capital of Gairadite from the Demon King Academy, or they fail and won't be able to participate in the academy exchange. Students are not given directions so that they can choose any route.
- Inter-Academy Exam:
- Greater Magic Class: A special lecture taught by Ivis Necron about Great Magic to help students understand the depths of magic better.
- Great Demon Sword Training: Training to prepare students for the Demon Sword Tournament, since the chosen students will have to compete against more experienced and skilled people.
- Nosgalia's Lesson: Students are taught about the gods and their grudge against the Demon King.
- Great Demon King Drills: A special class taught by instructors from the Mythical Age to raise the demons of this era into capable individuals who can support the Demon King in times of crisis.[2]
- Swordsmanship Training: A training lesson given by Shin Reglia about swordsmanship.
- Lost Magic Lesson: Students learn the lost magic of Gatom to teleport to Gairadite.
- Spirit Lesson: Students are taught by the Great Tree Ennunien about spirits and their history.[3]
- Demon Sword Tournament: A tournament that decides Dilhade's top swordsman. Swordsmen from all over Dilhade come here to prove themselves, and the winner earns renown.
- Academy Exchange: Students under Menou Historia will attend the Hero Academy for a class exchange.

The Union Towers
There are several towers on the grounds of Delsgade, and some of them are provided as places for union activities, where students on campus engage in common hobbies and interests. In other words, it's a place for student clubs to gather. It is also the headquarters of Anos Fan Union and the Unitarians.
Enchanted Forest[]
Main article: Enchanted Forest
The Forest
A training ground for students, the inter-team battle exams are taken here. Students can go out here because of its vast space and restorative properties.
Dungeon[]
Dungeon Entrance
Students come here for the dungeon exam. The founder's scepter is found on the lowest floors, but no students or even teachers have made it that deep.
Uniform and Badge[]
The academy has two types of uniforms: black for royal students and white for mixed-blood students. This system was eventually abandoned after the Demon King Reordination Ceremony, allowing students to wear whichever color they preferred. However, due to the recency of this change, most students still wear their original colors.[2]
Students must also wear a badge with an insignia that correlates with their results on the magic power and aptitude exam. The insignia could either be a polygon or a star and the more vertices they had, the better they did. [4] Anos is the first one in the history of the academy to receive a cross, which means "misfit", the person furthest away from a Demon King.
