Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 71

He stood up and folded the will he wrote before leaving.

"What is this?" Paimon asked.

"My will."

Neo placed it inside the drawer.

He turned to Paimon.

"Will you follow me with that appearance?"

"Indeed. But, worry not, hardly anyone can see me. Now, give me your hand."

He followed her words.

Paimon jumped on his palm and climbed his arm.

She sat on his shoulder.

"Let's go, my soldier!"

Neo smiled at her actions.

He grabbed the door's handle, opened it, and saw his homeroom teacher, Anna, and a short old woman, the principal probably, outside.

Anna carried a long bag on her back while Charlotte stood with a cane's support.

The two women stared at him.

Neo, surprised, quickly calmed down.

Charlotte opened her mouth before him.

"See, Eliz? He is alive. I told you it was a needless worry."

"..."

Anna — maybe Eliz was her nickname — did not reply to the principal.

She stared at Neo silently.

Her gaze shifted to his shoulder and she looked at Paimon.

…!

Neo froze.

"Now, now, young man, don't be surprised too much.

"Ask us to enter the room at least. You are making us stand at your doorsteps," Charlotte said.

"…Please come inside."

The two women entered.

Neo closed the door behind them and followed them into the hall.

Charlotte sat on the main sofa and Anna on the small one on her right.

Neo was on sofa next to the Anna and directly in front of Charlotte.

"Young man, can you release your Death Aura?" Charlotte asked.

"…?"

Confused, he asked cautiously,

"Why?"

"We sensed a thick aura of Death and Darkness on the campus a few hours ago.

"It took us time to find its source and the clues led us to you," Charlotte answered.

Neo noticed Anna's gaze was aimed at Paimon.

Could she see her?

Hopefully not.

"Young man?"

"Okay."

He unleashed his Death aura.

…!

A flicker of surprise passed through Anna's eyes.

Charlotte raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"Your mastery of Death is about to reach Adept rank. How did you do it?" Charlotte questioned.

She turned to Anna.

"You never told me his Immortality worked against Spiritual Death."

"…I did not know about it myself," Anna answered.

Seeing the confusion in Neo's eyes, Anna tapped her necklace.

Her figure blurred, and a woman with white hair and cold expression appeared in her place.

'Elizabeth? What is she doing here?'

'Wait, she is my homeroom teacher!?'

Neo, while outwardly calm, was surprised.

The principal and Elizabeth knew each other. This was clear at a glance.

'Did she hire Elizabeth and ask her to become our teacher in disguise?'

'Looks like Elizabeth told about my Immortality to her.'

Charlotte coughed to bring Neo out of his thoughts.

"The aura of Darkness you are releasing shows your mastery over it has reached Apprentice rank.

"I believe both of your masteries increased because of a similar reason?"

"…?"

"You've experienced a Spiritual Death," Charlotte spoke with a strict tone. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
