Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Secret Revealed
“Before that, there is something we must discuss,” Christian said.

“That is?”

“Who will be the team leader?”

His words made Neo smile.

“Why are you asking me about this? The answer should be obvious.”

“That…”

Christian pursed his lips.

“I hope you can let Miss be the team leader.”

Leonora raised her head from the screen with a snap and stared at Christian.

“I don’t—”

“It’s not about your preferences Miss.

“You are the leader of Poseidon Clan’s faction. It should be clear you can’t work under someone else.

“The family elders are livid because you chose someone outside of our clan to team up with.

“If you let him be the team leader on top of that you will be smearing mud on our Clan’s name.

“The elders won’t let go of his matter.”

Christian’s words made Leonora sulk.

She didn’t want to take the burdensome position of team leader.

“Neo, I hope you will understand our position.

“Giving up the status of team leader is not an option for Miss.

“Of course, we will compensate you with the credits you would’ve earned had you became the team leader,” Christian said.

It was a reasonable request.

Christian’s down-to-earth approach made it difficult to refuse him.

But…

“I can’t give up the team leader position.”

Neo shook his head.

“If this was how it was going to be, you should’ve said it when I invited you to the team.”

“That…”

Christian had no reply.

Leonora looked at Neo with twinkling eyes.

She couldn’t be more happy.

“Besides, what’s the problem with being under me?”

“Sigh, you might not know this.

“The God Clans look down on those from outside.

“It would’ve been fine if you were from a Great God Clan. Even a High God Clan would’ve worked

“But you aren’t from either.”

Christian wasn’t looking down on Neo’s origin.

He was revealing the harsh reality.

“There is no need to worry if that’s true. I might not be from a God Clan.

“However, I have the bloodline of Hades.”

“Bloodline of Hades? I guess that works….”

Christian stopped speaking.

He looked at Neo with a confused expression.

“Come again?”

“I have the bloodline of Great God of Death.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah.”

Christian took a deep breath.

“What!?”

He shouted.

Mars and Jack’s reaction was no different.

Even Leonora was looking at Neo with a stunned face.

“There has never been a demigod with Hades’ Bloodline! How do you have it!?”

Christian grabbed Neo’s shoulder.

“How!?”

“Calm down. It’s not that big of news.”

“How is it not big news?!

“You are the only person with the God of Death’s bloodline! Do you realize you are the current Clan leader of the third Great God Clan!?”

“Oh…”

Neo hadn’t thought about it.

Still, what use was the Clan when he was the only member?

“No, no, no, this has to be a joke. Are you trying to prank us?”

“Why would I joke about my bloodline? If my teammates misunderstand my abilities, it would endanger us on the missions.”

Christian grabbed his head.

He needed time to digest the information.

“Damn, that’s sick! That’s why your auras were so powerful!”

Mars was quick to return to his usual mood.

“My heart didn’t lie! I chose the perfect rival!”

Neo really wanted to know why and how he became Mars rival, but he had an important task at hand.

“I guess that solves the problem of team leader.

“Next I’ll explain about the mission.”

Neo continued.

“Tomorrow, an S-rank mission will be posted.

“It has three slots. That means three teams can choose it.

“I want our team to get one of the slots.”

That mission was the only way Neo came up with.

It could help him clear the third trial.

“Is the source of your information credible?” Mars asked in place of Christian who was still in denial.

“It is.”

“Why do you want that mission? There are other S-rank missions too.”

“You’ll know it tomorrow.”

After talking a bit, the group disbanded.

They agreed to meet in the mission hall tomorrow.

Neo was on this way to Seraphim Hall when he received a message from Arthur.

“Why he is asking to meet at that place?”

The location was outside teacher’s dorm.

Teacher’s dorm lied between the buildings where their classes took place and the Seraphim Hall.

It was not weird to meet up there on the way to the dorm.

Neo was just sensitive after he was fucked over by Elizabeth once.

“I guess I’ll go.”

He met Arthur on the bench under the tree’s shade.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing. Felix said he had important news and wanted to meet us as quickly as possible.

“But I don’t understand why he called us here.”

Arthur scratched his cheek.

Neo sat beside him.

The two waited for fifteen minutes until Felix came out of the teacher’s dorm.

‘He’ fixed his clothes and waved at a female teacher who was looking down from her window.

“Huh?” Arthur froze. “Neo, please tell me I’m overthinking it, but does it look like Felix…”

Felix arrived next to them before Neo could answer.

“You changed your gender?” Neo asked.

“Not changed. I can’t control my Unique Skill.

“You don’t know it since you are from outside of God Clans. It’s because I can’t control my skill that I’m called the ‘weakest demigod of the history’.”

His monotonous words made it look like he didn’t care about the rumors.

Though Neo knew the truth was otherwise.

“Anyway, I was lucky to change to this body a few hours ago and I got my hands on a nice piece of news thanks to that.”

“W-wait! Did you just had s-se— do that with the professor for the news?”

Arthur’s bright red ears brought a wide smile to Felix’s face.

He put his arm around Arthur’s shoulder and whispered.

“Yes. We had S.E.X.”

Arthur let out a shrill scream like a girl and moved away from Felix.

Seeing him, Felix laughed.

He laughed hard.

“Gosh, you actually believed that.”

“…?”

“I’m lying of course. Why would I fix my clothes outside and not in the room?”

Felix looked at Neo.

“Well, I guess Neo wasn’t fooled.”

“T-then why did you meet that professor?” Arthur asked.

“I exchanged credits with her to buy information.”

“Why did the professor look so happy if all you did was buy information?”

“…”

Felix smiled without saying anything.
