Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

Neo and Arthur were ready to take the mission when…

"Huh?"

"What's that?"

>S-rank Mission<

Details: [REDACTED]

Rewards: [REDACTED]

Slots: 3

Assigner: Sphinx

Participation Requirements: Only teams who have cleared 3 C-rank missions, 2 B-rank missions, and 1 A-rank mission can accept this mission.

The Mission will be given on first come first serve basis.

Mission details and rewards will revealed only to teams who have met participation requirements.

>S-rank Mission<

The participation requirements were not supposed to exist.

Neo was caught unprepared by the unexpected situation.

'Another butterfly effect.'

'But how?'

He thought hard and realized the reason for the change.

'Fuck, so that's how it is.'

Originally, Arthur was never seen as a threat by the God Clans.

While strong, he did not have a background to support him.

It was why Felix could pull the rug under everyone and managed to take one of the mission slots.

However, the present changed when Neo appeared.

He was the little brother of Henry Hargraves.

The Hargraves Corporation was a contender for the top position in the weaponry market.

They were rich and influential.

Still, they were not a match for the God Clans… until Neo became the Ruler.

If Hargraves played their cards right, they could stand on par God Clans.

Neo was a threat.

He couldn't be allowed to soar any more than he did already.

"There are many professors and staff members from God Clans.

"They can't openly refuse to give you the S-rank mission due to the principal, so they used a roundabout method," Christian said.

He was also shocked.

His Clanmates never told him about anything.

'They are isolating me because I joined Neo's team,' Christian realized and let out a bitter smile.

"This is bad…" Arthur spoke.

He looked at the C~A rank mission list.

The missions were being rapidly taken by other teams.

"They are working together to make sure we can't complete the mission requirements."

Not just the teams made by top 100 students.

The other teams were also recruited by the God Clans to impede Neo and Arthur's team.

"We might need to give up," Felix bit his lips.

He suddenly looked at Christian with hopeful gaze.

"Can we get Poseidon Clan's help? If it's…"

He stopped speaking when Christian shook his head.

"I didn't even know the teams were working together. The Clan Elders have probably forbid anyone to assist us.

"We are on our own."

There were 20 S-rank teams (teams with at least three top 100 students) fighting for the 3 slots.

That alone would've been an uphill battle.

The 18 teams could hoard missions to make sure the last two teams of Neo and Arthur didn't get anything.

But against nearly 300 teams?

There was no hope for Neo and Arthur.

Neo walked up to the C-rank mission list.

"What are you doing?" Felix questioned.

"Choosing a mission.

"Even if everyone works together — which I doubt is possible — they still can't hoard every mission."

There was a limit to the number of missions a team could accept at once.

The God Clans probably planned to take everything except the most difficult missions.

With the first come first serve basis, they only had to stall time and get the slots before Neo and Arthur.

"We are trying to get the S-rank mission because it has the best rewards.

"Isn't it a given we need to work hard for something like that?" Neo spoke.

Neo wanted to be the best there was.

He long accepted he would have to outperform everyone to reach his goal.

It excited him.

The feeling of leaving others in dust, even though they worked hard, thrilled Neo.

"I guess grandpa was right. Only insane people can succeed in today's world," Arthur stood next to Neo.

He picked out a few missions.

Neo spoke when he was done,

"See you later. Hope you guys get a slot."

"Same to you."

He went to the desk attendant and got approval for the three C-rank missions he found.

When Neo returned, he saw his teammates looking at him in awe and admiration.

"What?" he asked.

"Ahahaha, nothing. All I want to say is as expected of my rival."

"…?"

Neo turned to Christian.

"You really deserve that rank."

"…?"

Jack was looking at Neo with a similar respectful gaze.

'What the fuck? Why are they acting like this?'

All he did was do what he planned to do originally.

The additional mission requirements messed up their plan.

Still, Neo didn't do anything special by deciding to continue moving forward.

What he didn't realize was his simple choice was something only he could've done.

If Neo was not there, they would've decided to back down.

Neo ignored their reactions.

After leaving the mission hall, he revealed the missions to them.

"Hmm"

Despite the distinct names of the places, all of them were located inside the Demigod Academy.

The academy was fully self-sufficient, from food to clothes to factories. Everything was present on the campus.

"We need to complete the missions as soon as possible.

"We'll split up. For these missions, we'll do me and Jack, and Christian and Mars.

"As for the last C-rank mission we'll do it together.

"Now choose the mission you will complete," Neo said.

"I wanted to be in your team," Mars complained. "I joined the team to compete with you."

"That's why I put you with Christian. Let's see who will complete their mission first."

"Oh, that's a good idea!"

It was easy to handle Mars.

They held a short discussion and picked their choices.
