Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 59

A smile appeared on Neo's face.

After manifesting the aura, he tried to create water.

Neo failed.

He tried again.

And again.

And again.

The result was the same.

'I guess I'm still far off from reaching the necessary level.'

Neo smiled bitterly.

He had a lot to learn.

When he was busy practicing, Anna explained.

"Looks like all of you can use your Auras.

"Now, I want you to create an Aura Blade."

The faces of students hardened.

Aura Blade was the first combat technique of Aura Manifestation branch.

A person needed months of training to manifest an Aura Blade.

"Take your time. It's a difficult technique, so there is no need to feel pressured to create an Aura Blade in today's class," Anna said.

They practiced.

Only Morrigan, Arthur, Lucas, Harrison, and Mars, could create an Aura Blade among the sixty students.

The students felt the gap between geniuses and themselves.

While their eyes wandered around, someone spoke.

"Hey, look at him."

The student pointed at Neo.

He was enveloped in a pale blue aura.

His aura was weak and it flickered like a candle flame soon to be extinguished.

The level of one's elemental mastery determined one's aura strength.

Neo's control over Water element, even as a Secondary affinity, was far below average.

Harrison laughed.

"Look at our Ruler. The fraud can't do anything if he isn't cheating."

Harrison's words broke Neo's focus.

Disturbed, Neo's aura shattered.

It only made Harrison laugh more.

"I can't believe someone could lose to a fraud like him."

Morrigan ignored the jab.

Neo was about to do the same when suddenly Anna opened her mouth.

"Student Harrison, every person has their own speciality and weakness.

"There is no need to put someone down because they cannot measure up to you in your speciality."

Her words made Harrison crease his brows.

"What? I didn't say anything wrong. You can ask anyone in this class.

"That weakling became the Ruler because he cheated. That's his only speciality,

"Oh wait, he has a loud mouth too."

A few students snickered.

Their mocking gazes were aimed at Neo.

Neo pursed his lips.

He was about to ignore them when his eyes met Anna.

"Both of you come up on the stage," she said.

"…?"

Neo didn't understand her intentions, but he followed her words.

He stood next to the podium alongside Harrison.

Anna turned to the class.

"They will now demonstrate the usage of Aura Blade."

She turned to Harrison.

"You first."

"Okay."

Harrison smirked at Neo before he took the stage.

He picked a ruler from the professor's table and held it like a sword.

A grunt escaped his lips and lightning manifested around his body.

It wasn't a Spell, just plain lightning elemental manifestation.

Suddenly, the lightning sparks crackled.

They twisted and collapsed into themselves.

The air tingled with an electrifying dizziness and the room was basked into a golden glow,
