Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

Neo didn't notice her gaze.

His mind was preoccupied with other thoughts.

'Anna Rose…?'

'Who is she?'

This was the first time he heard about her.

What happened to the original homeroom teacher of the class?

The present changed.

It was not the same as Neo knew.

'Did our homeroom teacher change because of my actions?'

A butterfly effect.

Small flaps of a butterfly could cause tsunamis on the other side of the world.

Neo's minor actions might possibly change the future drastically.

He would lose the advantage of knowing the future if this continued.

But….

'So it began.'

Neo smiled.

'It's possible for me to change the future.'

'I don't how much changes the Fate would allow, but this confirms my actions aren't meaningless.'

Neo never wanted to maintain the status quo.

The future was a meaningless world ravaged by wars and destruction where…

…The protagonist failed.

…The heroes died.

…The gods fell.

Nobody could stop the calamities.

So.

Neo would protect his future by taking the matters in his own hands.

"We'll take the attendance before starting the class," Anna said.

After the attendance, Anna explained about the curriculum.

"The first month classes will teach about the basics you've already learned.

"It is to allow students from outside of God Clans to catch up to their peers."

She continued.

"There is no minimum compulsory attendance.

"But beware the professors might hold a grudge if you keep bunking their classes."

Neo listened carefully.

While he knew everything beforehand, he needed to make sure there was no gap between his knowledge and the actual information.

"Credits are the currency used inside Demigod Academy.

"You can buy anything with them.

"Spell Books, equipment, holidays, extra lessons from the professors. There is no limit to what the credits can buy.

"Just remember one thing.

"You need to pay with credits if you want to sit in exams.

"If you don't have any credits, you won't be allowed to take the exam and you will be failed.

"Now, I'll explain about the Templar Course."

The students straightened their backs and focused on her words.

All of them came to the academy to receive the Junior Templar Certificate.

It was important.

"You can convert 1000 credits into a Star.

"Only those with 3 Stars or above can attempt the Junior Templar Exam.

"If you are able to gain 5 Stars, you can become a Junior Templar without challenging the Junior Templar Exam."

"You will receive credits for completing Missions, special tasks, or they will be awarded by the professors. So work hard."

The explanation was easy to understand.

It took a few minutes to complete.

Some students asked about their doubts. Anna answered them patiently.

After half-an-hour, Anna changed the topic.

"Since the explanation has been given, we will start the Class.

"I will be teaching you about 'Aura' and 'Aura Manipulation'. It's your core subject for the first semester."

Everyone grew visibly excited.

Aura Manipulation was an advanced branch of elemental manipulation.

It was easy to use Aura to intimidate others.

However, that was just the beginning.

High-level demigods used Aura attacks to battle their foes.

"We'll start with basic elemental control today.

"I want all of you to use your secondary elements and manifest its aura."

The students followed her words.

Neo closed his eyes and tried to do the same.

Death and Darkness.

He was familiar with them.

They were his primary elements.

His mastery over Water element was poor, thus it was a secondary element for him.

Minutes ticked by.

Neo couldn't do anything at all.

Unlike others, he failed to manifest the slightest bit of Aura using Water affinity.

Anna noticed him.

She picked a piece of chalk and drew on the blackboard.

"Elemental Manipulation is divided into three steps: [Core], [God Blood], [Magic Circuits]."

Her words drew the attention of the class.

This information was not in the books Neo took from the library.

He tuned out the distractions and focused on the class.

"[Core] helps you convert your non-elemental Divine Energy into elemental Divine Energy."

"…?"

Neo frowned.

That sounded too easy.

It was something he never heard before, and he doubted it was so simple to use elemental Divine Energy.

He had been training for days and he had been unsuccessful.

Still, he followed Anna's words.

He controlled his Divine Energy and pushed it into his Core.

…!

His mind went through a tremendous change.

He felt enlightened.

As if he was a blind man who could suddenly see, or if he found the wallet, he was searching for, inside his pocket.

'How didn't I notice this sooner?'

Neo felt bewildered.

Whenever he used Spells, he had been using his Core to create elemental Divine Energy.

It was a gap.

He was directly fed with information of Spells.

The instant mastery allowed him to use the Spells without former training.

In exchange, it left huge holes in his basic knowledge.

Anna stared at Neo expressionlessly.

Her eyes gleamed at his success.

"Your [God Blood] carries the elemental Divine Energy and it distributes the energy throughout your body.

"The amount of Divine Energy your [God Blood] can store determines your Divine Energy reserves.

"The purity of the Divine Energy is decided by the concentration of Divine Energy per unit [God Blood]."

The process of infusing Divine Energy with Water element was slow and tiresome.

He was not dejected at his snail-like pace.

After all, he could finally sense his Water Element!

It was a huge progress compared to a day ago where he couldn't feel his Water Affinity at all!

He, however, still couldn't use the water element infused aura.

The lecture continued.

"[Magic Circuits] are the outlets that allow you to pour your Divine Energy out of your body into the surroundings.

"They are like muscles.

"The more you use a [Magic Circuit] on a certain part of your body, like your palms, the faster you can let out your Divine Energy through your palms."

Neo closed his eyes.

He tried to sense the Magic Circuits on his body.

After locating a few of them, he pushed out his water element infused Divine Energy.

…!

He manifested a pale blue aura.
