Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

Chapter 57: Who Is She?

"She's more normal than I thought," his smile faded and he frowned. "Though it's weird how she didn't seem angry with you."

Neo agreed with him.

It didn't feel like Morrigan cared if she won or lost.

She was the opposite of the bloodthirsty, power-seeking Morrigan he knew.

"Good night."

"Sleep well."

They split up after a bit.

Felix took Arthur, saying he would bring him to his room.

After returning to the room, Neo trained for a bit and slept.

He woke up in the morning.

"The classes start today," he said to himself.

"I still can't use Water and Shadow. Guess I need to ask for help from the teacher."

He wanted to sigh.

The classrooms were assigned when he was unconscious after the tournament.

Neo was in the class with the main cast.

Their teacher was a extremist who favoured God Clans' descendants.

"Arthur faced a lot of problems in the novel thanks to him and now I will too."

He initially didn't want to ask for help from the teacher.

But there was no choice left.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Neo! There is a problem!"

He opened the door and found Arthur on the other side.

Arthur was drenched in sweat while his face was filled with concerns.

"What happened?"

"I can't find Felix! I've searched for him everywhere and there is no clue where he went.

"He isn't even picking up his phone."

Arthur became restless.

"Do you think the Zeus Clan got him?" he asked worriedly.

There was a high chance Felix was targeted, since he made a fool out of Zeus Clan and he was the weakest among the three.

"Calm down."

Neo added when his words failed to assure Arthur,

"The Academy's Principal can monitor the whole academy premises at all times.

"There is no way the Zeus Clan members will act out while she is watching."

"Then, where is Felix?" Arthur asked.

"He might be busy. We should go to the class. I bet we will find him there."

Arthur wanted to ask why Neo was so sure.

But he decided to believe his words for now.

They entered the classroom.

The chatty atmosphere turned deathly silent as soon as they stepped in,

Neo ignored them.

He wanted to sit at the backbench.

Unfortunately, he had to choose the middle seats in order to be with Felix and Arthur.

Arthur on the right, Neo in the center, and Felix would sit on the left when he came.

'It feels weird to receive so much attention from the main cast,' he thought.

Neo was not going to push away Arthur just because he was the protagonist.

He saw no reason to not befriend the future leader of humanity.

While he was waiting for the class to start, he turned to Arthur.

"I'm stuck with Affinity control. Can you help with that?"

"Yes? Of course, I will help if I can."

Neo explained his problem with Water and Shadow Affinity.

He did not want to ask for help from the homeroom teacher if possible.

"Oh, just that? You have to feel your affinity and ask it to work. That's all.

"You should be able to use Water Affinity with this method since you can use it's Spell already."

Neo wanted to punch Arthur.

Did he not know not everyone was a genius like him?

Noticing his expression, Arthur gave more solutions.

They were all useless.

While they chatted, the main cast arrived.

Morrigan scanned the classroom as she stood at the doorstep.

Her gaze hovered on Neo.

A beat later, she sat on the front seat.

After her, Leonora entered the class.

She wore a jacket over the academy uniform and walked with her head down.

Leonora sat at the backbench Neo planned to sit.

A few minutes later, a boy, with red flaming hair and a wild aura about him, arrived.

He went to the back of the classroom.

"Can I sit here?" He asked Leonora while pointing at the seat next to her.

She raised her head and looked at him with a nervous expression.

"N-no, please keep your u-ugly face away from my eyesight."

Mars was stunned.

The students knew not to laugh.

Except for one of them.

"Pfftt!"

Arthur's attempts at suppressing his laughter were worse than Neo's excuses.

Before Mars could say anything to him, a hand hit Arthur's back.

"I told you my jokes are funny."

The girl, beautiful and proportionate, with lavender hair, continued to hit his back.

She turned to Mars.

"Sorry if we interrupted you. I had a bet with him."

Mars nodded, still unable to recover from Leonora's answer, and he took another seat.

"Thanks," Arthur told the girl.

He understood she saved him from a troublesome matter.

"But who are you? I've never seen you before," he said.

"You don't recognize me?"

The girl seemed surprised at Arthur's confusion.

"Dude, it's me. Did you forget I have Aphrodite Bloodline?" she said.

Arthur tilted his head, unable to understand her words.

He turned to Neo for an explanation.

"The Aphrodite Bloodline's first Unique Skill allows them to change their gender."

"Oh."

Arthur stared at the girl, then at Neo, then back at the girl.

"Felix….?"

He was too shocked to form proper words.

"I'm really curious about your childhood now. How can you not know about my clan's skill?"

Felix shook her head and sat to left of Neo.

Soon, the class was filled with students.

At exactly 9:30, the homeroom teacher entered the class.

Her black hair with dark blue undershade and her red eyes complimented her perfect nose, small lips, and cold expression.

She wore a light blue shirt, a black tie, a leg slit skirt, and a fashionable overcoat that went well with her clothes.

"Good morning, I'm Anna Rose. Your homeroom teacher."

She stood at the podium and swept her gaze around.

Her eyes stopped at Neo for a brief second.
