Though he is the founding ancestor and possesses enormous magical powers, Anos is cast as a misfit at the Academy. Unperturbed by this unjust treatment, he continues to demonstrate his overwhelming powers and takes part in the team competition exam as a leader. His classmates mock him for being a hybrid, and the only teammate he can find is Misha. Their rival team is led by Sasha, Misha’s older sister, who looks down on Misha and calls her a "junk doll."

"One last thing, I’m glad I got to meet you." Without being able to understand Sasha’s true intent behind these final words, much time has passed, and Ivis, one of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors, holds a special class at the Demon King Academy called the Great Magic Training. The Seven Elder Demon Emperors are seven demons that Anos, the founding ancestor, created from his own blood. Emilia implores Anos to act respectfully to Ivis, but without hesitation, he speaks to Ivis in a condescending tone.

Shortly after Anos’ encounter with Misha and Sasha as well as his battle with Ivis, a transfer student named Ray enters the Demon Academy. As the Master of Magic Sword and powerful enough to defeat the Seven Elder Demon Emperors, Ray makes it clear that he wants to join a team with a capable leader, and requests to join Anos’ team. However, Anos refuses and proposes to Ray that, "If you prove that you are worthy, I will allow you to become one of my followers." Ray decides to form his own team and battles head-to-head with Team Anos during the team competition exam.

Anos resolves to defeat the Royalists no matter what tricks they have up their sleeve. He uses the sword received from his father Gusta to fight in his first match in the Magic Sword Tournament. Meanwhile in the dressing room, Lay clutches his chest. Sensing that something is wrong with Lay, Anos speculates that somebody is controlling Lay and a hostage may be involved. Who is conspiring to control the Magic Sword Tournament from behind the scenes?
