When Silva left the arena, he quickly went through a portal back to the labyrinth and into Lisa's lab. "Lisa, there is something I need you to take a look at." Lisa was busy working on something, but she turned her attention to Silva as soon as he walked in. Silva handed her his sword, covered with the blood of the boy he killed. He was suspicious of the energy that was in that boy. It wasn't to the extent that he would have cared to find out, but when he saw that the teachers didn't try to apprehend him for killing, he understood that they knew something. They knew what energy that boy was exuding, and they knew it was a risk—and Silva had stilled the risk. Now, Silva's curiosity was piqued, so he decided to find out what exactly it was. The blood had begun to dry, so Lisa scraped some off into a small crystal plate and infused her mana into it, breaking it down to understand the composition of the blood. Then she paused for a bit, looked at Silva, and then looked at the plate again. She dried the plate and moved to a cabinet to take out a bottle with blood in it. "Demons are said to be the ancestors of vampires, and it was the demons who created the vampire from a human. So vampires share very similar energy and blood structure with demons. Because it's impossible to get a sample of demon blood, I decided to take some from Drake and study it. It was so I could have a general idea of what demon blood would be like. Now, when I checked this sample, it felt similar to that of Drake. The bottle I'm holding now contains Drake's blood." Now, you know you can't lie to me, so tell me, what did you give that boy, and why?" Silva asked. Matilda was reluctant to talk, but if she didn't want to die, she would have to spill everything here. "It was synthetic demon blood. Not many know the truth about demons, only a select few—even among the top people of this kingdom, only a few know. The Empire has been conducting an experiment to create synthetic demon blood. They sent it to us to test, and the king allocated some to me to test its efficacy. That was when I thought this could be my chance. It was impossible for me to hatch a plan against you, so I started observing the first-year classes. And there, I met the boy you fought, with his hatred for powerful people in the S class. So I thought he would be the best fit for the blood. We gave it to him, saying that if he took it, he would be able to fight the strongest in the S class. And so he did, and then he was matched up against all of the S class, starting with you," she revealed everything to Silva. "So, even after I put a dark curse on you, you still found a way to plot against me without the curse detecting it. Seems I'll have to make my curses better in the future, but that's beside the point. I find it funny that after knowing who I truly am, you still thought that boy had a chance to kill me. Even if he ingested a whole gallon of the blood, he would come nowhere near me," Silva said, allowing his aura to explode out of him. The windows shattered, the building began shaking violently, and Matilda struggled to breathe. "Your days in this office are coming to an end. Soon enough, I'll finish using you and finally kill you," Silva said, then got up and left through a portal. The doors of Matilda's office swung open as teachers and guards ran there immediately after feeling the shaking. They saw her sitting there like nothing had happened, with a smile on her face as well.
