Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

Neo exhaled as he lay on his back.

"Damn, this is fucking tough."

It had been hours since he started training.

He made zero progress.

Water Element and Shadow Element.

Neo could not manipulate them at all.

"I can use Ocean's Embrace, even if it's a Water affinity Spell, because Elizabeth ingrained the technique on my magic circuits.

"Otherwise, I can't use Water element."

He knew it was normal.

Only two weeks passed since he came to this world.

His speed was already fast.

It would be too much to expect a newbie like him to gain mastery over 4 elements so quickly.

"Sigh, why am I trying to find excuses again?

"It doesn't matter if my growth-rate is good.

"There is no genius on a battlefield, only victors and losers.

"My growth pace doesn't matter if I can't win."

Neo had to do better.

His enemies wouldn't wait for him to grow stronger.

He had to breakthrough his limits if he wanted to survive and win.

Sighing, Neo stood up.

"I'll eat something and refill my energy before I start training again."

The cafeteria would be open even though it was night.

He left the room.

Arthur and Felix sat on the bench outside his room.

The two were asleep, with their Felix leaning his head on Arthur's shoulder.

"Yawn, how did you training go?" Felix opened his eyes when he noticed Neo's presence.

"So-so," Neo answered. "What are you two doing here?"

"Waiting for you to treat us."

Felix yawned before he continued.

"We would've come earlier, but we met the Student Council Vice President.

"She told us you were training and we shouldn't disturb you.

"So, we've been waiting for you to come out for dinner after your training ended."

Felix yawned while he tried to wake up Arthur.

The protagonist was half-asleep.

He only nodded and his eyes remained close.

"Did you guys eat anything?"

"No, we were waiting for you."

Felix continued to yawn.

He was only a little better than Arthur.

"Then, let's go eat," Neo smiled bitterly.

He didn't expect them to wait for him until the midnight.

The Seraphim Hall had its own cafeteria.

"Are you going to treat us?"

"I can't. I don't have credits," Neo told Felix.

The cafeteria had specific meals that were provided for free.

If the students wanted to eat something different, they had to buy it.

Most of the times, the meals differed for everyone.

After all, they had a choice to get high-quality and limited amount meal set, or low-quality and high-amount meal set.

"Yawn, let's just eat what we can get. We can have the treat later."

The trio entered the cafeteria.

Felix had to support Arthur throughout the way, since he walked with his eyes closed, half-asleep, and almost hit several walls face first.

"He is completely different right now since he is sleepy," Felix smiled wryly.

Neo nodded.

Arthur was like a kid who couldn't stay awake past the bedtime.

The door of the cafeteria tingled.

They walked towards the counter when suddenly they saw Morrigan.

She sat on the seat at the front.

Her plate was filled with dozens of bread pieces.

She wore black leggings and black tank top that revealed her navel. Her body was covered in sweat and a white towel rested at her neck.

Her cheeks were stuffed, filled to the brim with the bread.

Morrigan gulped the food and froze.

She exchanged gazes with Neo and Felix.

Neo went to the counter after staring at her for a few seconds.

Felix followed after him.

"H-hey, we should go. I'm not hungry anymore."

Felix noticed Morrigan's murderous gaze at them before he whispered.

"Let's get out. She looks angry!"

"Wait for me. I'll get my food first."

Neo ordered four burgers.

Felix altered his gaze between Neo and Morrigan.

Unlike Neo, Felix knew what was happening with her.

She had been called back to the Zeus Clan as she lost the first rank, and to a low-rank, no-name demigod at that.

Rumors were circulating that she was no longer the leader of Zeus Clan's circle inside the academy.

From a revered genius to a laughing stock.

Neo destroyed her life.

"Sigh, I'll get something to eat too," Felix said.

He followed Neo closely and made sure to stay away from Morrigan…

Until Neo sat in front of her.

"What do you want?" Morrigan frowned.

"…"

Neo didn't talk and focused on eating.

Felix sat next to him nervously.

He couldn't eat any under Morrigan's stare.

Suddenly, Arthur laughed.

He woke up and stared at Morrigan's plate.

"You eat like a pig."

His head drooped and fell asleep.

Felix closed his eyes.

His expression was one of a soldier about to die.

He thought Morrigan would attack without hesitation until he saw her lowering her head.

Her ears were bright red.

She stared at the ground, almost as if she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

"Don't mind him. He talks nonsense when he is asleep," Neo spoke up.

He passed two of his burgers to Morrigan.

"What is this…?"

"You can have them. It must've been exhausting training late into the night."

She glared at him, but it wasn't scary when she was on verge of tears.

It was weird for her to show so many emotions.

He wanted to get closer to her and find out why she was different from the novel.

And what was better way to befriend a glutton than to feed them?

Morrigan pursed her lips.

Her dignity and emotions told her to flip the table and leave.

"You don't need it?"

Neo grabbed the plate with burgers.

He was about to pull it back when Morrigan suddenly grabbed the plate.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Morrigan didn't say anything.

She wanted to refuse, but couldn't.

Neo let go.

He didn't say anything else, since he didn't want to make things awkward for Morrigan.

He left with Felix when they finished their dinner.

"Wow, she's different from rumors," Felix muttered.

"How so?"
