Months flew by after the issue of the labyrinth. The Viscount did all the paperwork, and everything was settled. It was written off as the work of a monster in the labyrinth.
Nothing really changed, because similar things had happened in the past. Sacrifices are made to undertake the workings of labyrinths, and this was taken as one of those sacrifices.
Silva, on the other hand, had made it to level 60. The energy he received monthly from the labyrinth was turned into EXP, and the amount was not small.

Since the town had no stronger monsters for him, he decided to channel his energy into studying with Lia and getting ready for the entrance exams.

During this ti, Mike had beco quieter and very diligent with his sword training. Ever since he could walk again, he trained as hard as he could.
He also decided that he would beco an adventurer in Blacklight City rather than stay here.
So, of all the children, only Quin remained in the town.
The ti for the exams had co, and it was also the day that Mike would be leaving. He decided to stay until Silva and Lia were leaving, and then he would leave as well.
The carriage waited outside their house, one specially prepared by the Viscount because his daughter, Fay, would be heading for the exams as well.
Fay had been very active in her attempts to get Silva to look her way, but he kept escaping her grasp.
She was no longer doing it because her father asked; no, this ti she seriously wanted Silva, and those feelings had started blooming not too long after they went to Blacklight.
Silva, Fay, Lia, and Mike got into the carriage, and imdiately, it was already an issue.
Both Fay and Lia decided to sit beside Silva, and when they both sat down at the sa ti, they stared daggers into each other.
Silva, on the other hand, slipped out of the chair and sat down with Mike. The faces of the girls turned sour imdiately after he moved.
"You should sit with them," Mike said.
"No, they're alright there," Silva replied.
Mike didn't say anything more. He just gazed out of the window as their journey started.
Silva looked outside the back window. He watched his parents wave at them as they left.
It had been thirteen years—thirteen years since he died and was reborn in this world—and for the first ti, he was leaving Ribest for an extended ti.
He was about to start the next phase of his journey at the academy.
He sowhat looked forward to the academy, to see kids his age and to see what the academy had to offer.
Though he doubted that whatever they taught would really impact his life, still, you never know.
The carriage left the town, and soon, the town was out of view.
Silva had sent Dawn ahead of him a month ago to prepare certain things with the help of the three A-ranks.
Their nas were Orion, Trez, and Jane—these were the ones he tortured the hell out of in the labyrinth.
They had helped Dawn establish a few useful networks and certain establishnts that Silva would need.
As for Fang and Gallan, they were training in the labyrinth, but whenever he needed them, he could use the new shadow summoning spell he had learned.
It was a darkness spell that created a shadow portal to a person who had been marked, allowing the person to co to you instantly.

Many tis now, Silva had thought about just letting his clone go to the academy for him, but he didn't see any reason to do that, and there was always the risk of exposure. So, at the end of the day, he decided that going himself was the best.
He also wanted to see that sly woman, the head of the academy. He could sense that she was far more than ets the eye.
The other reason why he wanted to go was because of his mother, the only one he wanted to et.
He wouldn't rush, but he wanted to stop by to see her. Even if it was from a distance, he wanted to see her again.
As for the Duke, it was way too early to think about vengeance. The Duke was a powerful man, an evolved human, and had a massive personal army.
If Silva went all out and used the labyrinth and the guardians to fight, he could secure victory, but the loss and sacrifice would not be worth it.

"So, what do you plan on focusing on in the academy?" Fay struck up a conversation with Silva.
"Uhh, maybe sword techniques and stuff," Silva said.
"What? But your magic is much better. I've seen it and heard about it," Fay said.
"You clearly know little about Silva, and that's why you spoke like that," Lia said.
"What the hell does that an?" Fay asked.
"It ans Silva isn't really interested in the academy or what they have to teach. He will probably just listen to what he thinks is important and throw away the rest. That's why he just said anything that ca to his mind when you asked him that question," Mike spoke up while still looking outside.
'To think Mike could read to this level,' Silva thought.
"If you do that, you will fail," Fay said with concern.
"Do you really think there will be any test that will prove too hard for Silva?
Aside from his absurd power, over the months, I discovered that he has a photographic mory. All he needs to do is glance at the material once or attend class once," Lia said.
'It is not photographic mory, it's just because I have ten extrely powerful minds,' Silva thought to himself.
Fay looked at him in shock when she heard that, and he just gave her a silly smile in response.
