Chapter 96 Underground Labyrinth
These were all things Oliver already knew, but hearing them from Silva made him rage.
Silva watched him flail about. He got tired of this, so he decided to end it. He grabbed Oliver by the arm and threw him over his shoulder, slamming him into the ground.
He squatted beside Oliver and whispered to him,
"I think you\'ll have an easier time getting better than your sister, rather than trying to beat me. If you come at me again, you may never live to tell the tale." Silva raised his hand to draw Miss Elizabeth.
"I\'m feeling exhausted. Can I take a break?" he asked.
She looked at Silva, then at Oliver on the ground. She could tell something had happened, and that it wouldn\'t be safe for them to continue as things were, so she allowed him.
Silva left the field and walked towards the restroom, deciding to use the opportunity to relieve himself.
But before he could get there, he saw Matilda walking his way, waving at him with a sly smile.
\'This bitch, what does she want now?\'
"Silva, it\'s nice to see you here. I was thinking about looking for you. I have some things to talk to you about," she said.
Silva decided to see the strength of this woman. Back when he was at the Duke\'s place, he was scared they might notice him using it, but now he was sure he could do it.
[Matilda]
Evolved Human.
Lvl 10
Strength: 5,000
Defense: 5,400
Speed: 6,000
Agility: 6,000
Intelligence: 7,000.
After looking at her stats, Silva could tell she was no joke her strength was the real deal.
From what he had read, after evolving, it becomes a hundred times harder to level up, and most humans die before even making it to level 2.
But when someone successfully levels up, the increase in power they get is absurd.
\'If I take her in a fight, I\'ll surely win, but there\'s no way I can take her down quietly,\' Silva thought.
"What is it that you want to talk about?" he asked.
"Oh, it\'s not something we can speak of now, but come by later during your free time, to my office, and we\'ll talk," she said and walked away, all the while keeping her smile.
"Tsk." Silva clicked his tongue and headed back to class, forgetting about even urinating.

After the first set of classes, Silva headed back to his room while the others went for lunch.
He created a clone and sent it to the director\'s office. He locked the door and lay on the bed, watching what would happen.
His clone was twice as strong as Matilda, so he would be able to handle her easily.
Silva had come to underestimate his power, but with his current strength, he would be able to fight even Jade, the second strongest guardian.
But until he was sure, he would keep a level head until he understood all there was to this world.
---
The clone made it to the office and knocked on the door before entering.
He walked in and saw Matilda seated behind the desk.
"Come, sit, I\'ll do my best to keep this short," she said.
Silva walked to the chair and sat down. He didn\'t say anything; he just waited for her to talk.
"There is a secret that exists in this academy. It\'s something normal students never get to see. Only the Fourth Years have access to some of it.
The Count has access to all of the information, but even after leaving the academy, you are never to talk about it, because it must never be leaked," she said, trying to get Silva interested.
"And I\'m guessing that what you want to tell me has something to do with that secret.
Don\'t worry, I won\'t spill anything you say. I don\'t have the time for that," Silva said.
"Alright then, under this academy is a labyrinth, one that has existed for many years.
The labyrinth is an S class labyrinth with great difficulty, filled with monsters and traps.
But no one has been able to conquer this labyrinth. And before you ask why we, the adults, haven\'t tried to conquer it, it\'s because the labyrinth only allows those seventeen years and below to enter.
That\'s why we\'ve used Fourth Years to try and conquer it, but there hasn\'t been any student to go beyond the tenth floor. Only members of the council have ever made it past floor 10.
The details of what they found there are highly classified.
Now, about the reason I wanted to talk to you, I feel you already know why, but I want to give you a special pass to enter the labyrinth.
I want you to start attempting the labyrinth because I believe that before you make it to Fourth Year, you would have made a lot of progress into the labyrinth.
Normally, we don\'t believe that the minds of Third Years and those below can handle what they\'ll come across in the labyrinth.
But I\'ve heard that you easily raided the labyrinth in your hometown and have done some extraordinary things as well.
Also, when I look at you, I don\'t see a kid; I see a sly man, a very crafty person. So, what do you say? Will you do it?
There will also be a ton of rewards, like points for everything you sell or discover. There will also be normal rewards that come from time to time.
So, will you do it?" she asked.
"Yeah, no doubt. I see no reason not to. You\'re giving me the opportunity to grow and get stronger," Silva said with a smile that made Matilda feel like she had been played.
But at least she finally had some hope of seeing what was at the end of the labyrinth, she was taking a risk in making Silva stronger, but she needed the labyrinth to finally be conquered.
