Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 56

Neo exhaled as he lay on his back.

"Damn, this is fucking tough."

It had been hours since he started training.

He made zero progress.

Water Element and Shadow Element.

Neo could not manipulate them at all.

"I can use Ocean's Embrace, even if it's a Water affinity Spell, because Elizabeth ingrained the technique on my magic circuits.

"Otherwise, I can't use Water element."

He knew it was normal.

Only two weeks passed since he came to this world.

His speed was already fast.

It would be too much to expect a newbie like him to gain mastery over 4 elements so quickly.

"Sigh, why am I trying to find excuses again?

"It doesn't matter if my growth-rate is good.

"There is no genius on a battlefield, only victors and losers.

"My growth pace doesn't matter if I can't win."

Neo had to do better.

His enemies wouldn't wait for him to grow stronger.

He had to breakthrough his limits if he wanted to survive and win.

Sighing, Neo stood up.

"I'll eat something and refill my energy before I start training again."

The cafeteria would be open even though it was night.

He left the room.

Arthur and Felix sat on the bench outside his room.

The two were asleep, with their Felix leaning his head on Arthur's shoulder.

"Yawn, how did you training go?" Felix opened his eyes when he noticed Neo's presence.

"So-so," Neo answered. "What are you two doing here?"

"Waiting for you to treat us."

Felix yawned before he continued.

"We would've come earlier, but we met the Student Council Vice President.

"She told us you were training and we shouldn't disturb you.

"So, we've been waiting for you to come out for dinner after your training ended."

Felix yawned while he tried to wake up Arthur.

The protagonist was half-asleep.

He only nodded and his eyes remained close.

"Did you guys eat anything?"

"No, we were waiting for you."

Felix continued to yawn.

He was only a little better than Arthur.

"Then, let's go eat," Neo smiled bitterly.

He didn't expect them to wait for him until the midnight.

The Seraphim Hall had its own cafeteria.

"Are you going to treat us?"

"I can't. I don't have credits," Neo told Felix.

The cafeteria had specific meals that were provided for free.

If the students wanted to eat something different, they had to buy it.

Most of the times, the meals differed for everyone.

After all, they had a choice to get high-quality and limited amount meal set, or low-quality and high-amount meal set.

"Yawn, let's just eat what we can get. We can have the treat later."

The trio entered the cafeteria.

Felix had to support Arthur throughout the way, since he walked with his eyes closed, half-asleep, and almost hit several walls face first.

"He is completely different right now since he is sleepy," Felix smiled wryly.

Neo nodded.

Arthur was like a kid who couldn't stay awake past the bedtime.

The door of the cafeteria tingled.

They walked towards the counter when suddenly they saw Morrigan.
