The Great Demon System

Day 7, 11:56 am, Planet Xibillvia,

2 days had passed since Natalia's defeat and things had progressed with seemingly no surprises.

The next day, Abby had reported to Moby about her victory over the goblins as he showered her with immense praise as he also received a massive amount of XP from her actions, levelling him up 10 times, all the way up to level 50. She did much better than he ever expected and couldn't help but feel proud of his subordinate.

However, despite all his praises, she still managed to shift the topic to about how she was reckless and allowed one of her team members to die due to her carelessness making her unfit to lead which Moby thought was absolutely absurd. If someone who easily destroyed a city and committed genocide on an entire race while convincing them that she was friendly all with only one casualty was not fit for the role of demon general, he didn't know who was.

Even after Moby told her that it was alright and she did a great job, she still insisted on a punishment that would help remind her of her mistake so she didn't do it again. So, Moby ordered her to do 1,000 push ups which she did with no hesitation at all.

'Even for a punishment, my lord chooses something that hurts but still helps me at the same time like extreme exercise! Truly a wise and caring lord!' She thought, starting to do all 1,000..

Then, as she was doing her pushups, Moby explained everything that had transpired with Natalia and Alex.

This of course led to him receiving non stop praise from her that did not cease even when she was almost out of breath as she started to struggle with her push ups past around 800. Moby did not complain and awkwardly accepted all the praise as practice for when he will eventually rule over an entire race of demons as demon lord. Moby also told her that he and Jayden were now dating. And, instead of getting mad or jealous like he feared, she congratulated them instead. Moby was not sure if she just had a really low self-esteem or that she just didn't like him in that sort of way. Either way, his fears of internal love problems and fears of making a harem to appease everyone were put to rest.

Moby decided to spend his 76 stat points on mostly agility and intelligence, followed by closely by strength, ignoring endurance for now in order to retain his borderline glass cannon build.

Over the past 2 days, Moby had stopped abusing and scolding Natalia as he knew that she felt some sort of sick satisfaction from it. So, he opted to do the next best thing, completely ignore her unless he was forced to talk to her. To his surprise, that strategy worked out better than he expected as Natalia started feeling super depressed, slightly growing crazier every day forcing Moby to suppress her by force, using his orders that she must abide by due to her being his servant.

Travis slowly started to notice his slightly shrivelled, aged body with gray hairs which really scared him. He read in many places that extreme fear and pain could lead to gray hairs which was why he attributed what was happening to him to his extreme fear of Moby when he thought that he was going to kill him. Thinking of that even further increased his fear towards Moby, vowing never to get on his bad side ever again.

Becky had woken up and fully recovered during the last day of exams which was extremely good news for Alex's team. As soon as she woke up, she of course called Natalia to check on what happened as she knew that Jayden Griffith was still alive and well as she was one of the first people she saw when she opened her eyes.

Natalia, under Moby's command, replied to her that Jayden got away and that she still plans to get her during another day of the month past the exam and that she should stay patient until then.

Of course, Becky being the perfect pawn for Natalia did not suspect a thing and decided to wait patiently like she was instructed.

Jayden had managed to teach Alex how to use his demon energy but he was still unable to perform any skills with it as he did not have much time to practice.

The time was now 11:56 am, 4 minutes before the end of the exam and each team including Moby's team was trying their best to get their last few points in.

Then, as time finally expired, a loud ringing noise came from all of their watches, greatly startling them.

"Attention all students! The exam has come to an end! All beasts teleported after this point will be worth no points!"

"Congratulations on surviving and completing the test! Press the emergency button that you were given and a retrieval team with a large teleportation pad will be sent to your locations and teleport back to the school."

"If you somehow lost your emergency button, other than paying a large fine, you must now wait patiently, with some sort of flame signal and wait for the retrieval team to arrive. I will see you back in the arena!" A familiar voice rang through all of their watches at once, causing an echo-like effect.

As soon as the message finished, Natalia pulled out the emergency button that she had stored in her inventory, immediately pressing it as per Moby's orders that he gave her through their mind link.

Not even 5 minutes later, an armoured group of soldiers wearing all black showed up in their location.

Without speaking a word, one of them pulled out a large teleportation pad from his storage ring , motioning them to stand on it before blinding white light started to appear under them.

Moby could feel the soldier's slightly mock them for losing 3 members in such an exam but he paid them no heed as they were teleported back to the school arena where they saw the various other teams being teleported as well.

Most of the teams teleported seemed to be missing members and either looked really angry or really depressed with nearly no expectations at all.

In the middle of the huge arena surrounded by thousands of students, on a big stand stood the bored, almost dead-looking general Ryker, trying his best to look as professional as possible before addressing the students.

However, before he could talk, one of the teachers whispered in his ear before giving him a paper. As he began to thoroughly scan it, his previous dead-looking eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he began to heavily sweat and feel his neck, cursing his entire existence.

'What!! How the fuck could this be possible!' He thought, taking a large gulp of saliva before addressing the somewhat depressed looking crowd underneath him.

"*Ahem* Attention all students! It seems like most of you have arrived so I will start by congratulating all of you! You have all done great to pass this exam! We had only received a few emergency calls disqualifying a few teams before the exam even ended! A true soldier would have seen it through to the end no matter what, hiding in a cave for the rest of the exam if they really had to! You have all done great to make it this far! You all have the true heart of a soldier!" The general said, making people whisper a lot from underneath them.

"I Knew it!"

"See! I told you that it was a test! And your dumb ass kept begging me to press it!"

"Yeah… But we lost so many of our members… was it really worth it in the end?"

"Shut up! Your poor weak ass would never understand!"

Then, general Ryker took a deep gulp of saliva before continuing on with his speech.

"This exam we have smashed 3 country records! Both of these stand for the military school Zs around the country" the general announced making the rowdy yet slightly depressed crowd excited.

"The first is that the old record for most points in a single exam has been completely obliterated by Abby Reid and her team," The general said in an awkward yet enthusiastic tone making the crowd go wild as their attention all went on Abby who was smiling proudly with her chest puffed out.

"And… The second is that we broke the record for most teams ending with a negative score and most students dead during an exam…" The general awkwardly added, heavy sweat running down his face, making the once excited crowd suddenly turn completely silent and depressed once more.
