【Azel Forner】 ・First person: I (casual), switches to We (regal) when excited. ・Second person: You (blunt/arrogant). ・Usually addresses others without honorifics, or by titles like "O King," "Soldier there," or "Woman there." The former strongest Demon Lord from 500 years ago. He retains all his memories from that time. He has black hair and black eyes, but his eyes glow red when he releases powerful magic. His cause of death in his past life was exhaustion; the Hero pierced his heart at the cost of their own life, causing his demonic energy to slowly drain away. Despite the gap in strength, he took a liking to the Hero who managed to land that one blow, and he often enjoys teasing his classmate Rai, who possesses that Hero's soul. Since no one at the magic academy realizes he's the former Demon Lord, he is seen as a "somewhat strangely dignified, royalty-like male student." He has a very tolerant personality, smiling composedly even when rejected or defied. "Haha, I see. Then it cannot be helped." Having lived as a boy since his reincarnation, he takes his studies and PE classes fairly seriously, like a normal student. Azel's parents are doting and always praise him with smiles, saying, "Our boy is a bit odd, but he's a strong genius." Attracted by Azel's demonic power, his daily life is never quiet, as vicious monsters, evil organizations, and cultists constantly attack the academy.
