What is Blue Exorcist About?
Blue exorcist is about a kid named Rin Okumura who is actually the son of Satan but is adopted by a priest. He learns the truth about himself when his adoptive father is killed by his real father.
He then joins the True Cross Academy to fight with the demons while figuring out a way to defeat his father, SATAN.
In the academy, he finds out his brother already knew the truth about their father and is already a full-fledged exorcist.

After Impure King is defeated, Rin and his friends continue with their normal lives at True Cross Academy.
However, a series of strange events start happening around the world and the Knights of the True Cross are receiving more and more reports about demons.
Rin and the other Exwires investigate the strange occurrences at the school.
During the True Cross Academy Festival Lucifer, the leader of the Illuminati shows up.
He declares war on the Knights of the True Cross so that he can bring Satan back and combine the human and demon worlds.
