Strongest Demigod System-Chapter 39: Training Together

"I came early enough to get us some weight reserved since everyone comes here after school. It's over on that side."

Maddison pointed to the opposite corner of the gym while talking excitedly and Azrael nodded as he finished wrapping up his wrists with tape. Azrael didn't take off his gloves since it would expose the rotten skin to the others, so he was just going to work out with it.

Azrael stood up and stretched while talking.

"Let's start with the bench press. What's your personal best?"

Maddison gained a bit of pride in her voice as she answered with a smile.

"I was able to bench ten reps of five hundred kilos last time I came."

Azrael hummed in surprise. That was actually very impressive! Maddison only had an E Rank mortal body, so being able to bench five hundred kilos at her level was not bad. But it was still pretty low compared to some of their other classmates.

"We'll try and get you up to six hundred today. Since I'm here, you don't have to worry about going too far."

Maddison nodded with a wide smile as she thanked him. This was exactly what Maddison had been looking forward to. The reason why she hadn't been able to go too far in her workouts was that she didn't have anyone spotting her. She didn't want a situation where she carried more than she could handle and ended up getting injured. But now that Azrael was with her, she didn't have to worry about that at all!

They got to the bench press and Azrael started to put in some weights. Maddison put her hands behind her back while watching him and after some time, she spoke.

"What about you, Azrael? What's your personal best?"

Azrael scrunched up his face in thought for a moment. His personal best was actually a thousand kilos. But that was a few months ago when he was trying to show off. He had gotten a lot stronger than he was back then, so it would likely be much higher.

Azrael answered.

"I was able to bench one thousand kilos once, but that was a while ago. I don't know what it'll be now."

Maddison felt her eyes widen in shock! One thousand!? That was half a truck! How in the world was he able to bench that much a few months ago!?

Maddison always knew that Azrael worked out more than anyone else since he was trying to make up for his lack of a God aspect. That was the reason why he was referred to as the Rogue King. He had just as much physical ability as the other Kings. But this was far beyond what Maddison thought he would have! Wasn't Azrael the strongest in their entire year? Even though he didn't have a God Aspect, just his mortal rank would be enough to make him the most powerful!

If Azrael continued at this rate, then Maddison wondered if Azrael would even need a God aspect in the first place. He was a monster even without one.

"Come on, we'll start with three hundred kilos."

Azrael's voice snapped Maddison out of her thoughts and she saw that he was standing behind the bench press while giving her a look. Maddison blushed when she realized that she had spaced out, and she quickly went to lie on the bench as Azrael started to talk.

"Alright, start out small and we'll crank things up when we're warmed up. Ten sets of ten reps each. Let's go."

And off they went.

Azrael and Maddison started off with three hundred kilos and they slowly continued to increase the weight by fifty after each person went for ten reps. The happiness that Maddison was feeling at the start of the workout only kept getting more and more intense as she went higher on the count. Just hearing Azrael's voice as he counted for her and seeing him looking down at her encouragingly was enough to push her into doing more and more!

By the time they passed the five hundred kilos mark, Maddison felt like her arms were going to fall off, but she refused to give up as she told Azrael to add in even more weights. Azrael nodded and hit her on the back gently in encouragement before he added another fifty kilos and spotted her. They passed the five-fifty and finally the six hundred kilos mark and Maddison could feel her entire arm shaking as Azrael made the weight six fifty.

Maddison knew that she was going to fail on this one, but the mere thought of disappointing Azrael made her refuse to give up! Azrael was believing in her and he was not going to stop until she shattered her previous record!

Maddison grabbed the weight and took it off the rack before she started to bench six fifty! Azrael's voice counted up from one to ten, but by the time Azrael got to six, he noticed that Maddison could no longer raise the weight. Azrael immediately put his hand below it and just helped her with minimal support so that she could raise it up. Maddison released a tense breath, she grit her teeth and pushed the weight two more times until Azrael got to the count of eight!

"Argh! Help!"

Maddison finally couldn't do anymore and she asked for help with the weight. Azrael took it off her and put it back on the rack as her hands fell beside her tiredly. Maddison was breathing heavily and she felt disappointed in herself. She really believed that she would be able to complete the set with six hundred!

Maddison expected Azrael to be disappointed in her too, but when she looked up, she saw Azrael grinning at her with his eyes narrowed in a small laugh and Maddison felt her cheeks flush as he spoke.

"You did fucking good. You'll get it next time."

Maddison could only nod as she sat back up to prevent Azrael from seeing what his simple words had done to her. No one had ever encouraged her like that before, so hearing it from him was almost too much for her to bear. Maddison used a towel at the side to clean her face and the tears that had leaked from her eyes before she nodded and stood up while going to grab more weights.

"Come on, you're not done yet, are you? Let's see if you can't beat that personal record!"

Maddison smiled and Azrael couldn't help but smile as well as he went and lay down on the bench. He told Maddison to take things up to eight hundred and she was surprised for a moment before she just did as he asked. She put in the weight and she was even more surprised when Azrael easily benched ten reps like it was nothing. Azrael asked for nine hundred and did the same thing. Then he did the same thing for a thousand kilos and one thousand one hundred kilos as well.

Maddison was just looking on in shock!

What the fuck was this?

Azrael was benching the weights like they weren't even there!

Azrael had been gaining a lot more stats from the people and daemons that he killed recently, so his base stats had all increased a lot from the last time they worked out. Even Azrael was surprised by how easy it was for him to carry all these weights, but that didn't mean he was going to stop. Azrael asked for more and this time Maddison put in an extra two hundred to make it one thousand three hundred kilos.
