Two thousand years ago. The Mythical age.
There was a man who wiped out the nation of humans,
burned down the forest of the spirits,
and even killed off the gods.
He was feared as the Demon King.
This man took tyranny to its extremes,
and before his gaze, even reason was obliterated.
His name was...
Delsgade is an educational system for training the descendants of the Founder,
the Demon King of Tyranny, to become the new Demon King.
It's been two thousand years since his demise.
This is the year that the Founder will awaken, it is said.
This year's incoming class includes members of the "Generation of Chaos"
among whom may be the Demon King reincarnated.
When the Founder does indeed make his return,
the Infernal Realm will surely be enveloped by cries of joy.
Welcome to the Demon King Academy!
You've got this, Misha!
Hooray, hooray, Misha!
Royals should be exempt from the exam, but the old man's so old-fashioned.
Exams are such a drag, you know! I mean, we're royals!
Misha Necron?
Is that you?
Th-Thank you.
Give it all you've got!
Good luck, okay?
Fight!
Fight! Fight! Misha!
Do your best!
- Stay calm! - I know you'll be fine!
- You can handle this, Misha! - Do your best!
- Fight! - You'll be absolutely fine!
We're both dealing with the same thing, huh?
You came to the exam with your parents?
Since when is the Demon King Academy a kids' playground?
Look, it's Zepes of the Indu Family!
Hey! I'm talking to you! You!
My bad.
Your Magic Power was so feeble, I missed it.
I'll let you off the hood if you beg for your life.
You'd better hurry up...
or this Flame of Darkness, notorious for burning even the gods themselves to a crisp,
will reduce both you and that girl to skeletons!
You bastard! What the hell did you do?
I blew out the light from your match, that's all.
Did you just call my flames "light from a match"?
Don't think you're going to live to tell that tale!
Hold up.
C-Can't move my body!
That's all it took to make you obey?
Take a time-out there until you've learned your lesson.
I'm the one getting burned by my flames!
I wanna just disappear!
We will now begin the entrance exam for practical skills.
The practical skills test is a duel between examinees.
The loser fails.
After taking the Magic Power assessment test and the aptitude test,
the five winners will be admitted to the Demon King Academy.
You will be permitted to use any and all kinds of equipment.
Do you have any questions?
Not really, no.
Hey, so we meet again.
Uh-oh, are you that worried about not being able to escape?
What? I was just feeling sorry for you for not being able to escape.
After I turn your pompous face into a blubbering mess, I'll make you puke blood!
You need to know your place...
clown.
Like I'd fall for that again!
This anti-demonic armor can seal any kind of Magic Power!
I see.
The match will be decided when one of you is incapacitated or declares that he's giving up.
Now then, please start the practical skills test!
Incapacitated means I'm also allowed to kill you, right?
Magic Sword Zephrid!
That's a magic sword?
That's right!
It's a relic from the Mythical age, handed down to my family, the Indus, members of the royalty.
And it will amplify my Magic Power more than tenfold!
If it's one, then the increase would only be ten or so.
Die!
Don't tell me you extinguished my flames again!
That's a fake.
You and I shouldn't be facing off against each other in the first place.
I'll handicap myself.
I won't move a step from this spot.
I won't use magic nor will I infuse any Magic Power into my words or my breath.
Without batting an eyelash, never mind my limbs, I'll still defeat you.
Enough of your bluffing!
I get it. You're making excuses because you can't get past this anti-demonic armor.
Looks like your brand of magic's no good for...
What's this?
Do you feel it now?
I mean my heartbeat.
You get back here.
You should stop talking. Do you want to die?
Then, make me give up!
I bet you're a bottom-feeder who can only use Compulsion Magic to bend things to your will!
That was an interesting idea you brought up. You're on, then.
If I can make you surrender without using Compulsion Magic, I win.
If I can't, then you win.
I want a contract!
Fine.
Zecht.
Idiot! I'll never give up even if I die!
So, even if I hold back, it kills you?
I'll end up losing at this rate.
No way around it.
Ingall!
What am I...
Resurrection Magic?
Is there even such a thing?
How did it feel to have died once? Are you ready to give up now?
L-Like hell!
Ingall.
Don't worry. As long as the root remains, you'll never die in the true sense.
You'll be resurrected risk-free if I use Ingall within three seconds.
This is the so-called...
the three second rule.
Fell flat, huh? Two thousand years ago, that was a surefire joke.
You just said you'd never give up even if you died.
Surely, you didn't think you'd only die once in your lifetime, right?
Hey, I'm of royal birth!
By the way,
there's an intriguing philosophy behind the Ingall spell.
Is a human who's been resurrected the same person as before?
Or someone with the same exact personality, memories and body,
but a completely different person?
Tell me, which do you think it is?
Not interested, huh? Then, I'll just try killing you one more...
Wait!
I lose.
Zepes, of all people?
He was beyond overwhelming!
Who is that guy?
He actually defied a royal?
We will now begin the Magic Power assessment.
126.
98.
218.
100,246.
That's pretty impressive.
And you're even better?
Zero.
I've never seen that before.
A crystal being destroyed by Magic Power that's too potent.
Oh? You can tell?
Demonic Eyes are my thing.
We will now begin the aptitude test.
Bye.
Right. See you later.
In this test, we'll evaluate how you stack up against the Demon King of Tyranny,
and verify your knowledge of him.
Here is the first question.
Most people shrink from even uttering the name of the Founder,
but please respond with his true name.
That would be Anos Voldigord.
During the Mythical age,
why did the Founder use Jio Graze to burn his homeland, Dilhade?
In order to reincarnate those who couldn't keep up with the fighting as it raged on.
Let's say you have a daughter with power, but little in the way of Demon King aptitude,
and a son with little power, but immense Demon King aptitude.
If both were on the brink of death, which one should be saved?
Please describe the Founder's thinking in such a situation.
All such easy questions...
What are you doing?
I've been waiting.
For me?
Because you said, "See you later."
I see.
- We're done for the day, right? - Yes.
Then, why don't you stop by my place to celebrate getting in?
Since I'm sure my mom's waiting with a feast prepared.
- With me? - Yes.
Are you sure?
I'm the one inviting you.
I'll go.
Then, hold on.
I can use Flight Magic myself.
This is faster.
All right.
Gatom.
We're here.
Wind of the Sun?
That was Teleportation Magic.
Magic that was lost during the Mythical age.
Welcome! Oh!
Welcome home!
I'm home, Mom.
Where's Dad?
Oh, he's in the workshop.
Um, h-how did it go?
I passed.
Congratulations! That's amazing!
To think that you'd pass just one month after being born!
Honestly, how can you be that smart?
I'm going to make you a feast tonight, all right?
Right.
Tell me, what would you like to have?
Let's see.
I want mushroom gratin.
I knew you'd say that, so I've already got it all ready to go!
Who's that?
Oh, right, I still haven't introduced you.
This is Misha Necron.
I met her today at the academy.
Nice to meet you.
But you're only a month old!
Only a month old!
And you've already brought home a wife!
Sorry. My mom can be quick to jump to conclusions.
Oh my! What should we do?
Attaboy!
You're my son, all right!
This calls for a feast! We're going to celebrate like there's no tomorrow!
Does your dad jump to conclusions, too?
As you can see.
All righty, thanks for waiting!
Now then, please partake!
You, too, Misha! Have a lot!
Let's eat.
You still look like a little boy when you're eating.
There's something I want to ask you.
Tell me, Misha, what is it about my boy that you're so taken with?
His kindness.
Really?
You picked up my letter for me.
Yes!
You're right about that!
I swear, this boy was ready to come to Dilhade all by himself.
But when he found out how much we were going to miss him, he brought us along with him!
By the way, how did you two meet?
Which one of you made the first move?
The one who made the first move was...
It was me.
Dear me, of course it was!
Making the first move yourself... You little Casanova!
Come on, Mom.
Would you like another helping of gratin?
Why not?
All right!
It tastes great today, too, Mom.
Well, the secret ingredient is love after all!
Misha, you have seconds, too, all right?
Okay.
That was fun.
Sorry about my boisterous parents.
I'm used to it.
True, your dad seemed pretty noisy, too.
He's not.
He's not my dad. He's my guardian.
What about your real parents?
They're around, but they're busy.
My big sister's boisterous.
Do you get along with her?
I'm not sure.
Are you worried?
Yes, somewhat.
So, you are kind-hearted.
Who, me?
That was funny?
Well, since no one's ever told me that before...
Then, what do they say?
"You're doing this world no favors by being alive," "Demon, devil, fiend..."
Were you being bullied?
Are you kidding? The fact is, I deserved every word.
The blame lies with me.
What's wrong?
Crouch down a little.
Like this?
There, there.
When I get home, I'm going to tell my mom and dad that you're actually my comrade.
Comrade?
Yes. In this era, you'd say "friend," I guess.
"Friend"?
Am I wrong?
That makes me happy!
Is that right?
Iris!
Creation Magic? Let's get out of...
You can't escape.
This area has been sealed by the guards under my orders.
I am Demon Lord Leorg Indu. You took care of my younger brother.
Here in Delsgade, hybrids can't beat royalty even if they have a little power.
Why do you think that is?
Because if they do win, they get snuffed out.
Brace yourself! My brother's way more powerful than...
B-Brother?
Just stop talking, you shameless loser!
The Indu Family has no use for weaklings who put themselves on such pitiful display!
I thought you were making this move for your little brother.
It doesn't change the fact that you'll soon cease to exist.
We purebloods who've inherited the nobility of the great Demon King of Tyranny...
cannot stand by idly when we've been insulted by a mongrel.
Purebloods? Mongrels? So ludicrous.
A Demon King is someone who uses his own power to bend everything to his will.
It doesn't matter how pure your blood is.
You just made light of our Founder's great deeds!
How is talking about myself making light of my great deeds?
What?
You're pretty dense, aren't you?
That's absurd!
That disrespectful attitude calls for certain death!
I'm going to torture you to death!
You still haven't realized?
Try straining your eyes more and peer into the abyss.
His hands...
The magic circles are out of control...
Th-They're going berserk!
C-Can't hold them back!
Get them under control already, or you'll die.
You bastard! What did you do?
Just a little intimidation.
Magic Power is born from the root deep inside the body.
Fearing opponents it's outclassed by, at times, the root will make one's magical power go berserk.
As a member of the royalty, I can't allow myself to be defeated by a mongrel!
As a special treat, I'm going to show you...
the forbidden spell that can only be used by royalty!
Oh? Origin Magic, huh?
See for yourself how out of your league I am!
Girasd!
You just borrowed that great Magic Power from someone closely connected to you,
and who destroyed the gods themselves two thousand years ago.
What if I did?
Origin Magic can't affect the origin itself.
In other words, it has no effect on me.
I don't know how you can be so inexperienced,
but since you did use a spell that put your very life at risk, I'll give you one chance.
A "chance," did you say?
Igram.
What the hell is that?
You've never seen this before?
It's a spell for resurrecting the dead into zombies.
It hurts! It hurts!
Brother! Why did you kill me?
Why did you have to kill me?
Stay away, you corpse!
What the...
The zombie acquires devastating Magic Power.
In exchange, it burns with hatred for having been killed,
and it's racked with the pain of wounds that will never be healed.
Are you trying to make me kill Zepes?
Sorry, but I'm not quite that tasteless.
I thought I told you, this is your chance.
A moment ago, you only had disdain for Zepes,
and now he's more powerful than you.
Acknowledge your little brother, join forces with him, and then take me on together.
What did you say?
Like I can trust him! No way can this thing stay in its right mind!
You may be right.
But even during times of hellish suffering,
isn't caring for one another what families do?
I hate you!
I hate you! I hate you!
It hurts! It hurts! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
Dammit, are you out of your mind?
If it means having to live on as a zombie,
wouldn't it be more merciful to put him out of his misery?
That would just be you trying to take the easy way out.
Try to believe in your family's bond.
Forget about your position.
I'm sure there was a time when even you two simply lived as older and younger brother!
I refuse!
Damn you!
Die!
Call out your brother's name!
I said call his name!
Zepes!
So, the bonds in this era are this flimsy?
If I kill you, you die.
If I turn you into a zombie, you lose your mind.
I'm telling you, I've got my hands full with you.
I can see that my brethren have weakened significantly in the last two thousand years.
Come back when you've powered up. I'll be happy to take you on any time.
Never again, you damn monster!
You bastard, who the hell are you?
Listen up.
My beloved descendants...
Your Founder has returned!
I am the true Demon King of Tyranny!
I am Anos Voldigord!
Oh, is that...
Everyone, what a fine morning it is!
Starting today, I'll be taking over this class!
I'll massacre all who defy me!
Hey.
All right if I sit next to you?
What did you think of my joke?
Joke?
I think everyone misunderstood you.
I see.
Two thousand years ago, that one got a lot of laughs.
Not happening.
Also, it feels like everyone's staring at me today. Do you know anything about that?
There are rumors going around.
About those two brothers?
That symbol.
It shows the results of the Magic Power assessment and the aptitude test.
The more polygons at the top, the higher you scored.
That symbol's never been seen before at the Demon King Academy.
What does it mean?
Misfit.
