Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 40

After the lunch, Neo trained until dinner and started training again after it.

He could not help but look at Obitus.

The sword couldn't be pulled out of the scabbard.

For now, it's only noteworthy quality was its off-charts durability.

"How am I supposed to get its acknowledgement?"

He needed the sword's permission to be able to pull it out.

Unfortunately, he had no idea of how to achieve that.

There were several weapons placed inside the private gym.

Neo stood before a sword.

"I need a weapon for the competition. I guess I'll take one of these."

He grabbed the sword.

Suddenly, Obitus let out a jolt of electricity and tazed him.

The sword from the private gym fell out of his hands.

He could hear a small voice in his head.

Don't…

Neo looked at Obitus helplessly.

"Are you saying I shouldn't use any weapon other than you?"

A wave of emotions appeared in Neo's head.

Excitement, happiness, trust, and jealousy.

The sword was throwing a tantrum..?

Neo was exasperated.

"Can you let me use you then?"

Cant…

I'm… weak…

Need… to feed on you… more…

The train of thoughts appearing inside his head was unsteady.

Talking seemed to take a lot out of Obitus.

It returned to sleep after answering Neo's questions.

"You are quite demanding, aren't you?" Neo chuckled.

The sword ate the Divine Energy leaking from his body.

He had to keep it close at all times.

"Well, it's durable. I can use it as a club if nothing else."

He left the gym late into the night.

After he took a shower, the other two dorm members entered.

One was a young male with golden locks and the other had lavender hair.

Both of them were extremely handsome.

Their sour expression, soiled clothes and bruises said quite a tale.

'Did these two go to the cafeteria together? Thank god, I ate in my room,' Neo thought.

'Still, it's a welcome surprise to see them together. I thought the plot would've changed after I chose to be rank 1.'

Neo approached them with another set of towels.

"...Thank you," said Arthur, the protagonist, tensely.

He helped Felix walk and crashed on the couch with him.

"You two look terrible," Neo said while he ordered food.

"We had a fight in the cafeteria," Felix said. "The delivery. Is it…"

"Yeah, it's for you two. It's clear you used food to paint your clothes instead of eating it."

"Hahaha, the beating made me forget I hadn't eaten anything for a week," Arthur chuckled with a bitter sigh.

Felix snapped his head towards Arthur.

"We didn't take a beating. We fought them."

"R-right…" Arthur let out a troubled smile.

Before the delivery arrived, Neo used the kitchen and prepared coffee for them.
