Synopsis of Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha

In the distant past, a war between humans and demons caused widespread chaos and bloodshed. To end this seemingly endless conflict, the Demon King Anos Voldigoad willingly sacrificed his life in the hope of being reborn in a peaceful future.

In preparation for the return of their king, the demon race established the Demon King Academy, an elite institution whose job it is to determine the identity of Anos when he wakes up. He is reborn two millennia later, but to his surprise, he soon discovers that the level of magic in the world has dropped dramatically in his absence. When he enrolls at the academy to claim his rightful title, he discovers that demons remember him differently. His personality, actions, and even heritage are forged and masked under the name of a fraudster. This “lack” of general knowledge makes him an atypical scientist, an outsider unprecedented in history.

Despite these drawbacks, Anos is unimpressed. As he sets out to uncover those who are changing his glorious past, he takes it upon himself to let his descendants realize that their ruler has finally returned.
