Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

"What!? How!?"

Felix stared at Neo, stunned.

"How did you join the Student Council!?"

"They approached me and offered me to take the test—"

"Wait, wait, wait. Explain everything from the beginning."

Neo almost wanted to sigh.

He recounted the events of the day.

"Sigh, Jack was right. Nothing normal happens when we are with you.

"I can't decide if I should be surprised that the student council came to you first, or if I should ask how you passed the test so easily."

Neo rolled his eyes.

The cafeteria was filled with murmurs and fingers pointing at Neo after Felix shouted how he joined the student council.

He ignored the unwanted attention and filled his stomach.

They day ended without more surprises.

Neo lay on his bed. Your source is mvl|em|pyr.

It was already night.

He closed his eyes and activated the Death skill.

His sense of balance shifted and he appeared inside the building in the Tartale town.

…

Three months ago

After Neo and other went to visit the Sphinx.

Charlotte completed the paperwork.

She put down the pen and removed her glasses.

Rubbing her eyes, she laid back in the chair.

The puppet maids entered the room while she was resting.

"Master, you called?"

"Yes, since the paperwork is done I thought I would complete the task I've been procrastinating until now."

Charlotte stood up and wore her coat.

She whistled.

A beat later, the giant phoenix flew down from the sky and waited outside her window.

The mythical beast suddenly started to become smaller.

It became as small as a fist and sat on Charlotte's shoulder after flying into the room.

"Create a portal to the Zeus Clan's headquarters."

"Master…."

The older puppet maid, who had purple earring, hesitated.

"It will take us time to open a portal inside their headquarters.

"There defensive formation might throw us into an unknown dimension if we are not careful."

Charlotte snorted when she heard the answer.

"There is no need to worry so much. We are not infiltrating the place secretly.

"Knock down their doors with brute force."

The puppet maids nodded.

If they did not have to worry about hiding their portals or their Divine Energy signature, the task became much easier.

The two held their hands and chanted a spell.

The Divine Energy in the air churned.

Silver motes of energy shimmered.

The bodies of Charlotte and the puppet maids flickered and suddenly they were floating in the sky above a grand city.

The phoenix grew in size and caught them on its back before they fell.

"Huff, Huff, master, this is the closest we can create a portal to the Zeus Clan's headquarters."

"It's good enough."

Charlotte focused on the city below her.

Their sudden appearance and attempt to enter the headquarters unauthorized put the city on lockdown.

The peoples were scattering around and stationed guards were preparing their weapons.

"Burn them."

The Phoenix responded to her command.

It released a shrill cry before spewing gigantic flames from its mouth.

The flames were stopped by the invisible barrier covering the city.

The barrier started to crack under the relentless attacks of the phoenix.

High-ranking demigods flew out of the city.

"Please wait! Why are you attacking us, principal of Demigod Academy!?"

"Bring out your Clan Elders. You have 10 seconds."

Charlotte waved her hand.

The hundreds of giant fireballs materialized in the sky, ready to fall over the Zeus Clan.

"This is the Zeus Clan! How dare you—"

"Ten."

"Stop it right this instant! Even if you are the principal of Demigod Academy, this is crossing the line!"

"Four."

"Did y-you just skip the counts!?"

"One and zero."

The fireballs fell like a meteor shower.

The defensive formation of the Zeus Clan was shattered.

Dozens of buildings were destroyed and the city was badly damaged.

The soldiers' faces hardened.

They never thought Charlotte would actually attack them.

"No one has died, yet. However, I can't promise the same for the next attack.

"Bring out your Clan Elders, or suffer the consequences."

Just as Charlotte was about to conjure another volley of giant fireballs, an old man flew out of the city.

He had long white beard and his face was filled with wrinkles.

"You are too feisty for your age, Charlotte. What will the youngsters think when they see you like this?"

He floated before Charlotte.

Charlotte stared at him with murderous intent.

"Is that how you are going to apologize for what you did in my Academy?"

"Hahaha, are you here for that? You could've just called me."

The old man looked at his troops.

"All of you can leave. I'll take over the situation from here."

"But Elder Putin—"

"Leave."

The soldiers could feel the suppressed anger behind the elder's smile.

They retreated as they had been ordered.

Alone in the sky, Voren Putin, one of the elders of Zeus Clan, opened his mouth.

"How about we continue this talk in a better place?"

"Fine."

Charlotte snapped her fingers.

The puppet maids teleported Charlotte and Voren into an office.

"Ho? Where are we right now?"

"…"

Charlotte glared at Voren.

"It's strange, Voren. I don't see you apologizing for trying to kill one of my children."

"You mean Neo Hargraves?"

Voren chuckled.

"I didn't think you would attack our headquarters for just a single student. He isn't even that important—"

"Voren."

Charlotte spoke slowly, her voice dripping with murderous intent.

"Touch my children again and you'll have a war with the Academy."

For the first time, the smile disappeared from Voren's face.

He had been thought Charlotte was just lashing out.

However, the threat of a war made things different.

"Just for a single kid? He isn't even from a God Clan."

Charlotte did not answer.

However, her gaze spoke plenty.

She was not giving empty threats.

Charlotte had refused Neo to give him any support against Lucas' betrayal.

But that was a lie meant to trick Neo.

Neo was blessed with friends and family who cared for him.

He could easily take them for granted and start doing things, believing he would never face repercussions.

It was why Charlotte treated Neo as if he was nothing special.

Nevertheless, it did not mean, she would spare Zeus Clan after they tried to kill him.
