Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 55

Anyone would be jumping around and boasting if they reached Mythic Purity, not to mention Neo was far ahead of others.

Yet, he didn't do that and continued to train.

"Whatever, it's nothing special." Percival let out a mocking smile. "I had Mythic Purity far before others.

"The great me attained it before joining the Academy."

Amelia was exasperated.

She never expected much from Percival but he managed to hit a new low today.

"Don't be jealous of your juniors," she sighed.

Percival shrugged and left.

He told her to explain library rules to Neo before she returned.

"The library is divided into two floors. First years can only use the first floor.

"You can get Spell Books for all 108 elements from the library, but only if you have the element's affinity.

"You must pay to rent the Spell Books and you can't share them with others.

"Since you don't have any credits, you can't take anything."

Neo frowned when he listened to her explanation.

"I don't need Spell Books, only books with basic elemental knowledge. I need credits for them too?" he asked.

"Yes," Amelia smiled bitterly. "The academy is based on meritocracy. You get rewards if you show results, but you don't get anything if there are no results."

Credits could be earned through missions or be awarded by professors.

Neo had to wait until tomorrow, when the classes started, if he wanted to earn credits.

Seeing his frown, Amelia got closer to him.

"Show me your phone."

"…?"

"Just do it."

Neo took out his smartphone.

Amelia clicked on her phone a few times and held it above Neo's phone.

A notification arrived.

[Amelia added you to her friend list.]

[You are now friends with Amelia.]

[Amelia has sent 10 credits.]

[You've exhausted 20% of your credit transfer limit.]

"Oh?"

Amelia spoke,

"The new Ruler gets 50 credits transfer limit? I'm jealous."

She tapped her phone on her chin and smiled.

"Anyway, congrats on becoming the Ruler. Think of the credits as a gift from me. You should be able to buy the books you need with them."

"Thanks."

"Don't mind it."

She left after explaining a few more rules to Neo.

Alone inside the library, Neo went around the library to get two books.

He didn't waste much time since Amelia told him the where he could find them.

[Water Element: How to use your affinity. For Toddlers.]

[Shadow Element: Awaken, my powers!]

He went to the reception.

The table had an empty box.

Following Amelia's advice, he placed the book inside, and typed his name on the keyboard next to the box.

The box flashed a light on Neo to confirm his identity.

A notification arrived on his phone.

[Two books have been rented.]

[10 credits deducted.]

[Deadline to return the book: 1 month]

He left the library.

The guard at the door confirmed the completion of renting process before Neo was allowed to leave with the books.

Neo returned to his room and opened the Water element book first.
