God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Firstly, this world operates on a defined hierarchy.

The Celestial Realm is a home for descendants of gods, and their main purpose of existence is to ensure balance and prosperity throughout the entire mortal plane of existence below it.

They have their duties, ranging from preventing natural disasters through the lower realms to fighting back against nightmarish creatures that might be causing chaos in the mortal realm.

In essence, the Celestial Heirs were like guardians for the mortals below.

The academy, officially known as Pantheon Descendants Academy, was an incredibly major powerhouse in the Celestial Realm due to the simple fact that it raises the various Celestial Heirs from young to adulthood and prepares them for their necessary guardian duties as Celestial Heirs.

That was why the academy was so important.

Without it, there would be no way for the Celestial Heirs to properly use and learn of their power, which would make them fail at their duties and protecting the mortal planes of existence below from grave dangers and possible extinctions.

It wasn\'t always there though, but Nolan now understood why the academy was created.

It was to properly teach the Celestial Heirs of their powers, slowly introduce them to their roles in the entire plane of things, while also fostering connection and communication among different Pantheon descendants.

More noteworthy was the fact that the academy had no other that looked like it. It was the only academy that was present and known for grooming the Celestial Heirs.

However, there were also some issues that Nolan found grave within the academy.

On the surface, the students present might seem to get along with each other.

But what he had learned from a book written by a now-dead student was the fact that the academy was a battleground of its own.

In the Celestial Realm, there are a total of ten Mythological Descendants, and the majority of these descendants don\'t like each other at all.

They were like cats and dogs, or hyenas and lions. They weren\'t really unified.

The same could also be said to have spiraled into the academy.

The students don\'t all look at each other like students; they also harbor a bit of animosity and distrust amongst each other due to their varying Mythological Descents.

This distrust, which leads to a need to protect each other from the other Mythological Descendants, had created the existence of cults within the academy.

Each various Mythological Descent had its own cults, and the three most popular cults were stated in the book, along with the Descendants that possessed them.

The first cult is known as the Greek God Cult, a conglomeration of those who possess the Greek Descent bloodline.

The second cult is the Egyptian Pharaohs Cult, a conglomeration of those who possess the Egyptian Mythological Bloodline.

The third most powerful cult is the Norse Killers Cult, a conglomeration of those who possess the Norse Mythological bloodlines.

There were other cults, but these were the three most powerful and most fearsome among the cults.

What was attention-grabbing was the fact that those who are present in a cult will do much better, be safer, and more secure than those who were not in a cult like Nolan.

What made Nolan furrow his eyebrows was the fact that only if you have the particular bloodline of the cult would you be able to join the cult, but simply possessing the bloodline of the cult doesn\'t give you automatic entry.

Actually, getting into a cult is as difficult as ascending the heavens, and the easiest way is to get recommended.

But Nolan\'s first thought had been why he would even need to join or bother himself with a cult at all.

So far, he could just grow his strength without getting disturbed by anyone, and he didn\'t think he could get himself in any more headaches and shenanigans of academy life.

But he was proved wrong.

If Nolan dared to beat up a person who belonged to a cult, then that person might summon his entire cult, and Nolan would get screwed up really quickly.

More surprising was the fact that there were those who had annoyed cult members only for entire cults to gather on them, and they were killed.

Even more mind-blowing was the fact that the academy wouldn\'t care about random students\' deaths.

The only reason why an academy would choose to punish for killing a student is if the killed student is a prodigy, meaning possessed two bloodlines, or if he had a special background that cannot be trifled with.

Then whoever killed him would be dealt with, and the most grievous of punishment was death to the one who killed another student.

Only now did Nolan understand why he had been thrown into a pit and the one who killed him, Quinn, announced to the entire students that he had killed him, yet no teacher addressed this issue at all.

The truth was the staff in the academy didn\'t care whether Nolan died because of a simple reason: He was trash and wasn\'t worth their attention at all.

If Nolan was a prodigy with two bloodlines or had a very powerful and well-renowned background, then Quinn, who had killed him, would have also met with his own death too.

Yet nothing like that happened, and it was due to a system that was implemented by the academy itself.

It was a simple system, and that was the dog-eat-dog law.

The academy believed in utmost strength and power, and you will be respected based on how much of it you possess.

If one possessed no strength, no power, or no potential to speak of, then they could be killed by any random another, and the academy wouldn\'t blink an eye, with the issue getting swept under the rug soon after.
