Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 171

"That's the perfect answer."

"Today's topic, [Elemental Resistance], is related to [Resonance]."

"Let's say, Arthur here has Lightning affinity.

"The higher his mastery is in lightning affinity, the more resistance he has to lightning.

"This proves that for the element we possess, mastery is equal to resistance."

The students continued to take notes during the lecture.

The ones belonging to the non-God Clans were frantically writing, while those from God Clans were relaxed.

They had already been taught about this.

"What about the other elemental affinities?

"We have resistance against them thanks to Resonance, but does this mean we can't increase those resistances?

"No, that's wrong. It is possible to increase the resistance for the partial elemental affinities."

Professor Evelyn wrote three big letters on the blackboard with the chalk:

[AGE]

"The older you are, the higher your Resonance with the World Core.

"As Resonance increases, so does the resistance for the partial elemental affinities we gain through the World Core."

Professor Evelyn returned the chalk to the compartment below the blackboard.

"This is why, if your opponent is old, just retreat.

"There's a high chance your Spells and Aura attacks won't work against them."

She added,

"On a side note, make sure you know at least one [Weapon Technique] and have a few self-buff Spells.

"If you can't defeat your opponents through Spells or Aura attacks, you'll need to resort to physical attacks.

"If your opponent is old, they might have high elemental resistance, but they would be physically weak due to having grown, well, old."

The lecture continued for a few more minutes.

Professor Evelyn explained more about partial elemental affinities and resistance through more examples.

She recommended a few self-buff Spells and some Weapon Techniques.

The class ended without any incident.

Neo, Arthur, and Felix visited the cafeteria for lunch.

"Arthur, don't you get bored of these lessons?

"It's clear you know everything," Felix questioned while munching on her food.

She had been pissed off after the class.

Arthur had to promise her he'd teach her a few Weapon Techniques to calm her mood.

"No? The classes help me revise everything.

"Besides, after coming down the mountain, I found out a lot of things were different than I imagined.

"I can confirm the knowledge I was taught about the mystical quantities is correct through the classes," Arthur answered.

"Who even taught you all that?"

"…"

Arthur suddenly became silent.

Felix sensed the shift in his emotions.

"It's fine if you don't want to answer. I shouldn't have asked about a sensitive topic—"

"My grandfather.

"He raised me and taught me everything I know.

"I loved everything he taught me.

"It was fun to understand how the world and the elementals worked. Fighting with him, learning Weapon Techniques, everything made me happy.

"I never told him that though.

"I used to act like I hated him for keeping me locked up on the mountain and forcing me to learn about the mystical quantities."

Arthur's eyes became distant as he reminisced.

"I… I really should've told him I loved him."

Felix patted his back.

The mood became heavy.

Arthur wiped the tears that threatened to overflow and laughed.

"Well, I still hate him for those burnt chicken legs.

"He sucked at cooking."
