Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 52

The air turned hostile.

Thousands of students glared at Neo.

Neo didn't shrink back.

He welcomed their ire.

"What?

"Why are you all looking at me like that?

"Is it because I called you losers?"

Neo swept his gaze around the hall.

He saw clenched fists, strained expressions, and the hundreds of auras waiting to explode.

"You called me a fraud, a weakling... What about you who are ranked below me?"

Neo smirked.

"Useless trash that can't be recycled. That's what you all are. Someone who lost to a weakling."

Their angry expression made Neo smile.

'That's right. Get angry.'

'You must be hoping for a chance to prove you aren't a trash.'

'But…'

'You all know I won against Morrigan even if I used traps.'

'There is no way you can defeat who triumphed over her.'

'All of you need to train, to become stronger, if you want to defeat me and...'

'Survive the calamity that would soon arrive.'

Neo knew his actions would put him in danger.

However, he was ready to gamble his life if he could push the students to grow stronger.

They, after living a luxurious life, became conceited.

Only a defeat against a no-name demigod like him could take them down from their high horses.

Some of the students were about to shout when suddenly the doors opened.

A young man followed by Amelia walked in.

He clapped once to draw attention of everyone.

"Okay, that's enough for the Ruler's speech."

Percival, the Student Council president, smiled bitterly.

'Crazy bastard.'

He stared at Neo.

'Was he planning to start a fight?'

Thankfully, he was peeking into the entrance ceremony.

Although his actions were against the rule, he saved the dignity of the entrance ceremony with the interruption.

"Neo Hargraves, thank you for your kind words. I will take it from here," Percival said.

Neo nodded and sat beside Arthur and Felix.

After Percival took the stage, he spoke the actual entrance ceremony speech.

Most of the students ignored Percival.

Their attention and hatred were aimed at Neo.

"Their stares sting," Felix said.

Arthur smiled ruefully.

He couldn't agree more.

Suddenly, they heard Harrison's comment.

"Fucking frauds thinking they are hot shit."

"Don't be like that, Harrison.

"There are some people who don't know they were lucky to succeed and think it was their skill.

"Even if they are foolish, we shouldn't admonish them," Lucas replied.

Harrison snickered.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Ah, I can smell the jealousy in air," Felix spoke. "Must be some sore losers."

"…!"

Arthur spat.

His attempts to suppress the laugh only served to irritate Harrison.

"Hey, you—"

Percival's aura suddenly descended over the first row.

He stared at them with a side-eye while he continued his speech.

'Shut up,' his gaze said.

His masterful control made it so no one, except the students in the first row, would know he used his aura.

Felix and Harrison groaned.

The others were not much better.

After warning them against causing a commotion, Percival retracted his aura.

The entrance ceremony ended.

Neo and others were guided to their dormitories.

"Each road takes us to one of the five dormitories," the guide explained. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
