What Season 1 of The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Anos Voldigoad was the Demon King of Tyranny, weary of an endless war between humans and demons. To end it, he separated the four races with barriers and gave up his magic, promising to return. Two thousand years later he is reborn and enters Demon King Academy, where future candidates for that throne are trained. His classmates don't know who he is, and the academy doesn't recognize his power, so they label him a misfit. The descendants are weak, and magic has declined. Caught between the rivalry of Sasha and Misha and a magic sword tournament with suspicions surrounding its organizer, Anos must prove his worth. Takuma Terashima leads the cast.
