Silva looked at his wings and horn; he couldn’t walk around the human world with this, that would be crazy.
He tried to control them, and they actually retracted into his body like they were never there. He took out some clothes from his ring and put them on quickly.
He didn’t remove the small piece of cloth that was covering him until he was fully dressed; he didn’t want to show his assets to all of them.
“How long was I unconscious?” Silva asked.
“A few hours,” Elsa replied.
“I see, so it didn’t take as long as Fang. Well, then I have enough time to make it to the academy.
Aris, Lily, I need both of your help. Today, there will be attempts on my life during the competition.
I will give you the details of the plan later, but we have to get everyone involved,” Silva said.
“We understand, but I want a reward after it,” Aris said.
“What sort of reward?” Silva asked.
“A kiss.”
“Not happening,” Silva refused.
“After this competition and the Elite competition, I’ll try to clear the labyrinth in the academy. After I have cleared it, we will discuss the next move, whether to raise our own city and kingdom or to continue hiding.
It has been on my mind for a while now, and I figured we should discuss it,” Silva said.
After speaking with them, he had Lily teleport him inside his room; he knew no one would be there, so he decided to rest.
He had to head to the assembly hall quickly because the competition was about to start.
On his way there, Silva kept getting looked at by not only his mates but even seniors. Everyone knew he was good-looking, but this time they couldn’t peel their eyes from him.
Silva increased his walking pace; he didn’t want too many eyes on him. But the issue was that most of the students were also going to the assembly hall, so he couldn’t get away from them.
When he arrived at the hall, everyone was seated, and more were coming in. He spotted his friends there and headed the same way; they had also kept a seat for him.
“Hey guys,” Silva greeted them. They all looked to greet him as well, but they were also stunned by how different he looked.
“Silva, what happened to you?” Michael asked.
“Huh? What do you mean? I am the same person,” Silva said and took his seat.
“Oh, you are definitely not the same person. It’s like you got polished. Like, what the hell, dude?” Michael pressed.
“I don’t really get what you are talking about, Michael,” Silva still denied.
“You have to tell me what methods you use, bro. This is not fair,” Michael complained.
“What’s he talking about?” Silva asked the others, but he could see a frown on Lia and Fay. freewebnovel.cσ๓
“What’s happening, guys? Why are you two angry?” he asked.
“It was already hard stopping all those fangirls from getting to you, but now how can we stop them? Who goes and gets a glow-up overnight?” Fay complained.
Before she could complain even more, a teacher walked into the hall.
“Good day, first years. Today is the first part of your competition.
The competition will be held in the labyrinth east of the city. Only those who make it to the last floor will win.
The rules of this are simple: fight until you make it to the last floor. If you can’t make it, or you want to give up or call for help, check your cards.
You will be able to call for help or give up using the cards. You just have to spend all the coins you have, no matter the amount, and you will be saved.”
The students burst into murmurs when they heard what would happen if they wanted to give up or be saved—they would lose all their hard-earned points.
It was a crazy payment, but they understood that one could die in that labyrinth, and their points were nothing compared to their lives.
But still, the academy was being ruthless, but what could they possibly do?
“I’m sure you all already know that death is possible in the labyrinth. It is a B-ranked labyrinth, and it has enough dangerous monsters and unpredictable uncertainties.
Now, this is the last but very important rule: you aren’t allowed to fight or kill each other. Your enemies are the monsters inside there, not your classmates.
If you are caught sabotaging your classmates or trying to kill them, you will be punished so severely that you will cry for death and not receive it.
You can all enter the labyrinth alone or in self-formed teams. Whatever route you choose, best of luck to you.
The competition will be starting in an hour; you all have an hour to get to the labyrinth. I will see you there.” The man finished and left the stage.
Immediately after he left, everyone got up and started heading out of the academy. Silva could still feel the gazes of his friends on him.
He would have to find a way to explain things to them, but that was an issue for another time. What was on his mind now was how he would kill Terron.

Inside the Director’s office, Terron sat on a chair with a worried expression, while Matilda looked through the window of the office.
“Today is the day. Did you give the cube to the students?” she asked.
“Yes, the ones we talked about,” Terron said.
“You don’t regret this at all? He is your son, after all,” Matilda said.
“It’s for the best. Besides the fact that he is already one of the strongest people in the kingdom, he is also very smart and cunning.
I may have produced the seed that birthed him, but that child is a demon without a doubt, and if I let him, he will become something else,” Terron explained.
“You left out the part that talks about how you feel inferior to your son, and that hurts your ego,” Matilda said with a smile. Terron frowned but said nothing.
