Strongest Demigod System

Azrael took the elevator up to the top floor while staring at his reflection in the mirrored door. Azrael's mind traveled toward what had happened that day, and he started to wonder what he was going to do from now on. He might have an EX Rank in Divine Potential, but what was the point of that if he couldn't use it?

Azrael was not a fool, and he knew that there was no way he could hope to match the other students in the school without a God Aspect. Azrael was one of the most physically gifted students at the school. In a test of strength using nothing but their mortal bodies, there was no student that would be able to challenge Azrael other than Sunny, but what was the point of having that if he didn't have a God Aspect?

A God Aspect was the only way Azrael could advance past his mortal limits! Without the God Aspect, Azrael could barely fight against even the weakest demons, and there was no way he would be able to walk through the veil into the Null Zone!

"Fuck!"

Azrael cursed loudly and ran his hand through his hair as his thoughts threatened to overwhelm him! This was absolute bullshit! Did the world think he was some sort of plaything!? Even the fucking weakest demigod had a God Aspect, and here he was, an EX rank without an Aspect!

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and Azrael stood up straight and saw another girl standing in front of the door. She was an older girl with an amused look on her face because she had seen Azrael hunched over earlier. Azrael stared at her through his rough hair before he turned away as the girl entered the elevator.

Azrael recognized her. She was Cleopatra, a third-year at their school. She had long black hair tied into a ponytail behind her and dark purple eyes. She was one of the most popular third-years in their school and a demigod blessed by Thor, the Norse god of thunder. She was always competing with the strongest demigod in the school for the top position, and since the strongest demigod was blessed by Zeus, they both had similar God Aspects, which made their rivalry even more intense.

Cleopatra was carrying a large bag behind her, which held a weapon she had been using to train.

"Aren't you getting off?"

Cleopatra spoke when Azrael didn't move for a while, and Azrael nodded calmly before grabbing his bag and moving off the elevator. Cleopatra knew who Azrael was, and she also knew that he was feeling horrible about what happened in the ceremony, but she didn't care enough about him to ask how he was doing.

Azrael walked out of the elevator, but before he left, he heard her speak up.

"I heard from a teacher that you got an EX Rank in Divine Potential. Is this true?"

Azrael turned and glanced at Cleopatra when she asked this. Cleopatra was staring straight at him with an inquisitive look, waiting for an answer. Azrael wondered how in the world the news spread that quickly. It hadn't even been two hours since the ceremony ended!

Cleopatra hummed once she saw the look on Azrael's face. Cleopatra didn't even need to hear his answer before she knew that her teacher had been right. Cleopatra couldn't believe that a child of a god of darkness got an EX Rank. She had an S Rank in Divine Potential as well, but after hearing that there were two S Ranks and an EX rank in the current first years, she couldn't help but be intrigued. This was going to be an interesting year.

Cleopatra knew that a lot of people were worried about what Azrael would be able to do with an EX Rank, but she also knew that they didn't have to worry about anything since he was someone who didn't have a God Aspect. At the end of the day, the EX rank was going to be wasted on someone like him.

Cleopatra's mouth split into a small smile, and she pressed the button to close the elevator door while speaking in amusement.

"Not bad for a reject."

Azrael glared at Cleopatra in anger, and Cleopatra just laughed louder when she saw this. Cleopatra knew that Azrael thought she was mocking him, but in truth, she was congratulating him. If Azrael had somehow ended up with an EX Rank while also having a God Aspect, then life would be so much harder for him. People would be afraid of what he would do.

And people have been known to do horrible things when they were afraid. In a way, Azrael was lucky not to have a God Aspect at all.

…

Azrael threw his bag onto the bench at the side once he got to the training room, and he grabbed his bandages and wrapped them around his wrists angrily! That bitch thought she could mock him like that!

Not bad for a reject?

Who the fuck is she calling a reject!?

Azrael put his hands on his hips and sighed to calm himself before he went over to the side where a holographic screen was floating. The screen displayed a message.

[Please place your hand on the reader to activate the Simulation.]

Azrael put his hand on the palm reader, and the screen scanned his palm print before another message popped up.

[Azrael Mortis. First Year] 

[Mortal Ranking: D Rank] 

[God Aspect: Not Applicable] 

[A suitable challenge has been curated to suit your special requirements, and the system has detected no specific weapon for training. Would you like to borrow a weapon, Azrael?]

"Yes."

[Please Input the weapon type]

"Katana."

[Please Input the weapon length.]

"1 meter."

[Command accepted. Please take a simulation piece and head towards the battleground to begin your simulation.]

Azrael started to head into the battleground while grabbing a pair of glasses and a cylindrical rod from the side. The battleground was a series of cubicle rooms that had been arranged side by side. There were five battlegrounds in this training room, and Azrael could see that three of them were already occupied. You would normally need to reserve a time to use the battleground, but since today was the ceremony, there weren't that many people that would come here.

The battleground was pure white on the inside. The floor was movable, almost like you were standing on an omnidirectional treadmill, and there were cameras on every single wall of the room.

The battleground had been created to prepare students for their fight against the daemons. In here, the students would fight against a simulated entity that looked and acted just like a daemon. The simulations were so realistic that it was nearly impossible to tell the difference between the simulated daemon and what a real demon looked like, which was why it was so popular with the students!

If you are capable of beating the daemons here, then you would have a very realistic idea of what your battle strength would be like in the outside world!

Azrael put on the glasses and held the cylindrical piece in his hand while stepping into the cubicle battleground. The walls lit up with light, and a voice announced that the simulation was about to begin before Azrael watched the room change from white walls into a vast wilderness with nothing but dust and stone for miles.

Azrael looked down and saw that the cylinder in his hand had transformed into a meter-long katana with a black hilt and a gleaming silver blade. Azrael could still feel the cylinder in his hand, so the katana was just another simulation. But with the weight distributed properly, the cylinder was no different from what it would feel like to hold a katana.

DOON!

DOON! 

SCREECH!

From the distance, Azrael heard the sound of something digging itself out of the ground. A hand tore out from the sandy wilderness before three more hands shot out as well and slammed into the ground to pull out a daemon.
