Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

"Agh! Let's just pick the mission!

"The Zeus Clan teams have acquired two slots already.

"The Poseidon Clan teams wouldn't be far behind them. They might finish the requirements anytime!

"We have to move quickly!" Jack shouted.

Hearing his firm voice, the others smiled wryly.

"That's right. We have to focus on completing our missions."

Neo was about to pick an A-rank mission when suddenly a boy with large build blocked his path.

"Heh, what's this? Our fake Ruler is choosing an A-rank mission."

Harrison looked down on Neo.

"A-rank missions are too dangerous for someone like you, fraud Ruler."

"..."

He smirked.

When Neo tried to move around him, he grabbed Neo's wrist.

"What's the hurry? Scared to face me?"

"We have a mission to do."

Harrison put strength into his grip.

A slight noise of Neo's wrist snapping echoed.

Mars, Christian, and Jack almost attacked Harrison.

Neo had to raise his hand to stop them.

"Hahahaha, look at this pussy. He isn't even trying to fight back.

"Guess you know your place."

Harrison's grin grew wider.

"We'll be penalized if we fight inside the mission hall. You should stop," Neo spoke calmly.

The injury on his wrist was barely worth mentioning.

His battles in the Underworld skewed his perception of grievous wounds.

It was why he didn't react against Harrison's taunt.

For him, it was nothing more than a bump on shoulder.

Neo didn't want to waste his breath on such a small matter when his time was limited.

"Fight…?

"You'll fight me?

"Fuck, does this idiot thinks he is on par with us just because he managed to get the first rank?"

Harrison's face scrunched up.

"Bastard, your stats aren't comparable to even top 50 students, let alone me.

"We are leagues apart.

"It won't be a battle if we fought. Just one sided stomping."

A sigh escaped Neo's lips.

He released his aura.

"I told you…"

The heavy pressure pressed down everyone present inside the mission hall like a boulder.

Harrison, closest to Neo, found it hard to breath.

"I'm busy. So, move."

Harrison's knees buckled.

He released his own aura to counterattack Neo's pressure but it barely helped.

The presence of Neo felt like cold fingers wrapped around his neck.

Harrison let go of Neo's wrist and unconsciously took a step back.

"This is how you should've acted from the beginning."

Neo clicked his tongue because of the wasted time.

He moved towards the A-rank mission list.

'What should I choose?'

'Everyone is exhausted. I can't pick a battle mission.'

'It should be something that requires less effort and can be completed quickly.'

While Neo was carefully choosing a mission, Harrison felt his blood boil.

He could think again after he got used to presence of Neo's aura.

Even if Neo's presence was strong, it was just his presence.

He was weak in every other field.

Harrison could defeat him easily.

He, humiliated, was about to attack when suddenly Mars and Christian blocked his path.

"…"

They stood between Neo, who was focusing on the mission list, and Harrison.

Jack, positioned behind Harrison, prepared his Spells in case Harrison attacked Neo.

Just as Neo chose the mission, the other members of Zeus Clan who were nearby arrived.

They pointed their weapons at Neo's team.

The tension ramped quickly.

A fight was almost imminent when Felix stepped into the mission hall with Percival.

"What are you all doing?"

The student council president's presence hit the area like a hammer.

His terrifying aura forced others to listen to him.

"You all are fighting when time is running out?

"I know the S-rank mission's details have not been released.

"But use your head!

"If the Sphinx has assigned a mission, it must be something of the utmost importance!

"Instead of completing the participation requirements why are you lot fighting amongst yourself!?

"Is this how the students of Demigod Academy should act!?"

His voice boomed.

Half of the students lost consciousness while other half bled from their mouths and ears.

Everyone was brought to their knees.

Percival glared at Neo and Harrison's team.

"You two teams meet me outside! Now!"

He turned around and went out of the mission hall.

Felix ran up to Neo.

"Sorry about that. I thought the God Clans might stir up some trouble. So, I brought the student council president.

"I didn't know you would be implicated too."

"Don't worry about it," Neo said before he turned to his teammates. "All of you go first. I'll get the mission before I follow you."

They nodded.

While they went outside, Felix spoke,

"I'll come with you. Our team need to complete the verification for our B-rank missions and pick an A-rank mission."

They ignored Harrison and the Zeus Clan members glaring at them and went to the attendant.

"I want to pick this mission," Neo said.

>A-rank Mission<

Detail: A young phoenix is about to undergo rebirth. It needs condensed and pure Fire element Aura to aide its rebirth.

Assigner: Mystica Fauna Preserve

Reward: 6 credits, Beast Communication Spell (Whisper-rank)

>A-rank Mission<

"Understood."

The attendant completed the procedures.

"You have received the mission. Please visit the Mystica Fauna Preserve to complete the task."

Neo nodded.

He turned to Felix.

"See you later."

"Good luck."

Both of them were busy.

With only one slot remaining, it was clear only one among them could be chosen for the S-rank mission.

'If Arthur's team fails, it will derail the plot of the novel completely.'

'There would be negative consequences.'

Arthur had to meet the Sphinx and ask an important question.

The answer he would receive would become the foundation of Arthur's ambition.

'But I can't give up. This is the only way I can complete my trial.'

If push came to shove, Neo would answer Arthur's question.

He was deep in his thoughts as he left the mission hall.

There Percival was waiting for him.
