After the abomination killed the Mangledon, Silva decided that it was enough testing, so he ordered the abomination to kill itself.
The abomination began ripping itself apart, while Silva and Dawn walked away.
“I think the second floor is enough for now, we should return to the academy,” Silva said. He called back all the clones and unsummoned them before sending Gallan and Fang back to the labyrinth to meet the guardians.
Now it was only Dawn that was left.
“Dawn, I need you to look into the Dark Blade, the group that caused chaos back at my home. I need you to check them,” Silva said.
They exchanged some small talk, and then he was about to send her back. She hugged him and pecked him on the cheek before she was teleported away.
“If there is anything I love in this world, Dawn is definitely one of them,” Silva said with a smile as he headed out of the labyrinth.
When he made it out, the guards were shocked to see him back; they half expected him to die there.
“Hey kid, you back already?” the guard asked.
“Yeah, can you tell me where I can trade the drops I got for points?” he asked.
“Wait, you killed monsters?” the other guards asked in shock.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t just go and sit down inside a labyrinth, right?” he said.
“Well, that makes sense, but forgive me asking, what floor did you stop at?” the guard asked.
“I stopped at the second floor,” Silva said.
“And you survived? Seems we looked down on you, kid,” the guard said.
“You just have to hand the drops off at the school store, show them your labyrinth card, and they’ll know what to do,” the guard explained.
Silva bid them farewell and left the area. He immediately headed for the school store. He planned to play it safe and drop in half the crystals he got, which was about a hundred or so. Honestly, that was still a bad idea.
When he arrived there, it was like a full store located on the academy grounds. It sold the basic things students would need. There were other specialized stores as well for different things, but this was the general store.
The woman there didn’t pay attention; she thought it was a first-year student who felt like they could purchase good equipment with the small points they had.
She had faced a ton of them already since they started attending the academy.
Silva didn’t mind, though. He took out the labyrinth card and slid it on her counter. She glanced at the card and looked away, only to look back in shock.
She picked it up and looked at it; she was certain it was authentic. She looked at Silva, sizing him up. She didn’t believe that this kid would have such a card.
“How did you get it?” she asked.
“The director gave it to me, as well as a map to the labyrinth in the academy. I’m just coming from the labyrinth, and I have some crystals to sell to you,” Silva explained.
She paused for a moment. Only a person who had really been into the labyrinth would know about it.
She decided to just move along. If he was lying, she would inform the management; if not, then there were no issues.
“Alright then, give them to me.” She expected him to take out a few crystals, but then Silva poured out close to a hundred on the counter, making a small mountain.
Her eyes opened in shock, and she froze while looking at it. Only the council members had brought her this amount after one dive into the labyrinth.
“Is there an issue?” Silva asked.
“No, not at all, I’ll get it calculated now,” she said after waking up from her shock.
She took a small square storage device and sucked all of them into the device. The small crystal screen at the side of the device showed how many points he made from selling these crystals.
At the end, it came up to a whopping twenty thousand points.
“Please hand me your ID card,” she said. Silva passed it to her, and she took it in, taking out a card of her own to transfer him twenty thousand points.
She handed the card to Silva, and after he thanked her, he left the store.
“I’ll have to report this to the director or the student council. I feel it’s not something I should keep quiet about,” she said to herself as Silva left.
“Maybe I should have given only fifty. I feel from the way she reacted that a hundred was too much,” Silva said as he returned to his room.

The next day, the S-class had homeroom. Silva sat with Fay and Lia on either side.
Michael and Aaron sat by each other, and oddly enough, Leah was also seated close. This was the gathering of the serious power in the class.
There wasn’t a group that could stand up to this group right now in the first year. It was basically impossible.
Their homeroom teacher walked in. She walked with her usual sensual movement; she was seductive yet fierce.
“Hello students, today we have a special guest. She is from the Magic Research Organization and is a well-known person.
She came here today because she wanted to observe, so be on your best behavior. If not, I’ll bash your heads into a wall.
Now all of you welcome the wife of the Duke, Mrs. Anderson Terron.”
Silva’s mother walked into the classroom, and as soon as she did, his eyes were pinned on her.
What was she doing here? Did she come to see her kids? Was it really for research, or had she discovered that he was here?
She walked up to the teacher and faced the class. Her eyes met with Silva’s, and she paused for a while.
She couldn’t stop herself from looking at him. Silva looked back without a care, because he knew that, in her mind, he didn’t know who she was to him.
