Page 1:
A room in the Demon Lord's castle.
In his room, containing formaline and mounted animals and feeling like a research lab,
Mao was completely focused on reading a manga.
The manga was a story of a great hero defeating an evil Demon Lord.
After he finished reading the manga, Mao made a momentous decision.
"As of today, I'm going to become a hero!"
Even as a joke, the only son of the chairman of Maritsu Evil Academy,
that charmain also being the Demon Lord, saying he would become a "hero" would be a serious affair.
However, Mao, who aimed to defeat his father, using the reasoning that
"Of course, the one to defeat a Demon Lord would naturally be a hero",
began thinking of how to obtain the power necessary to become a hero. Mao, on the advice of his attendant, Jiiya, decided to capture a hero
and figure out the mystery behind the power of heroes.
(Mao)
The one who defeats a Demon Lord is a hero!
This is an unshakable Golden Rule!
There is no mistake in my thinking!!
Page 2:
Mao began searching for a legendary hero, and knowing of this,
Raspberyl thought "Mao, the honor student, becoming a hero = Mao
having his delinquent debut and quite possibly becoming the school's number one delinquent".
Bringing two of her schoolgirl companions along,
she quickly went to try to persuade Mao to not become a hero.
Of course, since she's a delinquent, she first tried to settle
things by talking, being opposed to violence.
Mao, having learned the whereabouts of a hero, went to find one
who had turned up at the Demon Lord's castle.
On the way there, Raspberyl appeared and gave Mao some advice so
that he would not slip from the path of the honor student.
(Raspberyl)
Not a single glance or anything!
You sure have to guts to ignore me, the number one delinquent at this school!
Page 3:
......seeing this scene from afar, the self-styled hero Almaz misunderstood,
thinking "that boy and girl have been [kidnapped] by the demons".
Although Almaz did not have the courage to battle demons, nor did he possess wisdom,
he believed that a hero must face difficulties head-on. Thus, even though he was weak,
he revealed himself, planning to save the two of them.
Mao became very excited at the sudden appearance of a hero.
Almaz bore the title of "Hero".
In the hopes of obtaining that title, Mao captured Almaz.
Will this result in Mao becoming a hero and defeating the Demon Lord?
Or perhaps will Raspberyl's persuasion be successful?
What will Almaz's fate be?
This demonic story filled with ups and downs starts here.
(Almaz)
......th, that's right! I'm a hero!
I'm in the middle of saving you right now, so just wait!

Maritsu Evil Academy
A Netherworld school established to produce excellent demons.
No one knows when it was founded, or by whom.
The school building is divided into tens or hundreds of sections and it's
hard to say if even the school principal has a grasp of the whole picture.
In this school building which has been altered and expanded repeatedly,
there may be classrooms in which no one has ever set foot.
There are classrooms like fake jungles, and rooms that are like hell fire.
There are traps everywhere, and just getting to a classroom can be a pain.
It seems that some of the students have decided to play it safe and
settle down in one of the school buildings.
Page 2
Those at the school are divided into Level 1 Students,
Level 2 Students, Level 3 Students, Teachers, and the helper Prinnies.
[Note: The word for teacher here is pronounced "kyoushi", like one of
the normal words for teacher, but the "kyou" has been replaced with a
different kanji pronounced "kyou" which means "evil"]
Inside the school building, you'll mainly see Level 1 Students. They're normal demons.
Level 2 Students are upper-rank demons. They show themselves from time to time on a whim.
Level 3 Students are said to possess majin-level power, but no one has ever seen one.
[Note: "Majin" is what NISA usually translates as "Demon Lord", e.g. Majin Etna -> Demon Lord Etna]
Also, among the Level 3 Students, there are rumored to be super-students known as
the "Ten Gentlemen", but their existence has become an urban legend.
Page 3
The school rules primarily consist of one line.
"One, do not follow the school rules."
Quite a few students and teachers have pondered this.
However, by nature demons usually don't think too deeply about things,
so the only ones who would worry over the existence of something
unimportant like the school rules are the diligent, serious delinquent students.
Beyond that one, there are some other basic rules designed to raise up splendid demons.
Rule 4: Don't do good things.
Rule 9: Run in the halls.
Rule 13: Be deliberate and thorough in your cheating.
Rule 666: Lick the bottom of the lid on your yogurt.
Page 4
Not coming to school, skipping classes, being late, leaving early, and other sorts
of truant activity are praised. Bad students who act like demons should are called
honor students, while those who do things like attend class and volunteer, i.e.
good kids who do things that aren't fitting for demons, are called delinquent students.
If you thoughtlessly attend class diligently, you'll be scolded by the teachers,
so as yet no one has graduated from the academy.
Since the teachers also skip, the classrooms being completely empty during class time is an everyday sight.
