"She's more normal than I thought," his smile faded and he frowned. "Though it's weird how she didn't seem angry with you."
Neo agreed with him.
It didn't feel like Morrigan cared if she won or lost.
She was the opposite of the bloodthirsty, power-seeking Morrigan he knew.
"Good night."
"Sleep well."
They split up after a bit.
Felix took Arthur, saying he would bring him to his room.
After returning to the room, Neo trained for a bit and slept.
He woke up in the morning.
"The classes start today," he said to himself.
"I still can't use Water and Shadow. Guess I need to ask for help from the teacher."
He wanted to sigh.
The classrooms were assigned when he was unconscious after the tournament.
Neo was in the class with the main cast.
Their teacher was a extremist who favoured God Clans' descendants.
"Arthur faced a lot of problems in the novel thanks to him and now I will too."
He initially didn't want to ask for help from the teacher.
But there was no choice left.
Just as he was about to leave, there was a loud knock on the door.
"Neo! There is a problem!"
He opened the door and found Arthur on the other side.
Arthur was drenched in sweat while his face was filled with concerns.
"What happened?"
"I can't find Felix! I've searched for him everywhere and there is no clue where he went.
"He isn't even picking up his phone."
Arthur became restless.
"Do you think the Zeus Clan got him?" he asked worriedly.
There was a high chance Felix was targeted, since he made a fool out of Zeus Clan and he was the weakest among the three.
"Calm down."
Neo added when his words failed to assure Arthur,
"The Academy's Principal can monitor the whole academy premises at all times.
"There is no way the Zeus Clan members will act out while she is watching."
"Then, where is Felix?" Arthur asked.
"He might be busy. We should go to the class. I bet we will find him there."
Arthur wanted to ask why Neo was so sure.
But he decided to believe his words for now.
They entered the classroom.
The chatty atmosphere turned deathly silent as soon as they stepped in,
Neo ignored them.
He wanted to sit at the backbench.
Unfortunately, he had to choose the middle seats in order to be with Felix and Arthur.
Arthur on the right, Neo in the center, and Felix would sit on the left when he came.
'It feels weird to receive so much attention from the main cast,' he thought.
Neo was not going to push away Arthur just because he was the protagonist.
He saw no reason to not befriend the future leader of humanity.
While he was waiting for the class to start, he turned to Arthur.
"I'm stuck with Affinity control. Can you help with that?"
"Yes? Of course, I will help if I can."
Neo explained his problem with Water and Shadow Affinity.
He did not want to ask for help from the homeroom teacher if possible.
