Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 235

"I don't need your help. If Anomaly #79 sees your face, it will bring more trouble than it's worth."

"Even I know that. I'm not that stupid," Jack said. "But I have a plan."

"Sure you do."

Jack scratched the back of his head at Neo's sarcastic tone.

"Believe me on this… Well, you know what? Forget it."

Jack turned around to leave.

"I'll do it myself—"

"…?"

"There is something we need to talk about."

"Yeah?"

Jack sat next to Neo.

Both of them felt prickling sensations all over their skin due to Sunshine.

"Do you know about the trial?"

"It was something about saving the Child of Mana, I think." Jack thought hard and answered. "I did search for it when I first appeared here, but I never found any clue related to the trial."

"That's normal. Information about Child of Mana is protected.

"A Child of Mana is a [Connector]. The people of this era don't understand how the abilities of a Child of Mana work, so they gave a grandiose name to them."

"Connector? What is that?"

Neo blinked, confused.

He turned his head towards Jack slowly and stared at him in the eye.

"You don't know what a Connector is?"

"Is that something I should know about?"

"Jack…" Neo grabbed Jack's shoulders with a serious expression. "I'm pretty sure you said you were going to pass all exams."

"Exams?"

"The Academy's first semester's finals."

"Oh, yeah. I'll pass. Why are you asking about it suddenly though?"

"There was a question about [Connectors] in the History-I paper."

"That was the easiest question."

Neo continued,

"How the fuck are you going to pass when you didn't know the easiest question's answer?"

"…!?"

Jack's smiling face froze stiff.

He broke the eye contact and looked away.

"I just realized, but I wanted to introduce myself to the blonde guy and the other awakeners—"

"Are you going to pass or not?"

"…."

"Jack."

"…no."

Neo let go of his shoulders and massaged his brows.

"You could get held back or expelled if you fail. You do know that, right? Hell, you acted like you aced the exam. What was that all about?"

"…em."

"What? I didn't hear you."

"I'm planning to use my credits and buy passing grades with them."

"…."

Neo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He shook his head.

"That should work. Don't come to me when you get scolded by Sean or Felix though."

"Hahahaha."

"You wouldn't be laughing when Felix finds out about this."

A cold sweat flowed down Jack's back.

"I-I'll manage, probably."

Before Neo could scold him further, Jack stood up and escaped.

"That idiot. Listen about Connectors at least."

Neo clicked his tongue and focused on meditation.

It didn't take long before a foreign presence entered his sensory range.

"Anomaly #79 is here."

Neo picked up the caterpillar and placed it in his pocket.

Just then, the hair at his nape stood on end.

Anomaly #79 appeared behind him, swinging the sword towards his neck.

Neo ducked.

He unsheathed his sword and used a wide slash.

The monster moved towards him instead of blocking.

It grabbed his wrist and swept Neo's leg to throw him off balance.

'Shit—'

A powerful kick hit Neo's side before his falling body landed on the ground.

He flew back, destroying several buildings along the path.

'Dammit!'
