Silva decided to agree to the labyrinth because he had be searching for opportunities to get stronger, and one just fell into his lap. So there was no way he would refuse. Besides that, he would also be getting some great rewards, so why not? Later that night, someone came and called him out to hand him the card that would allow him access into the dungeon. The person wore a cloak, covering every part of their body so that they wouldn't be idtified, but that was not an issue for Silva. He could already tell it was a male fourth-year studt. The person also gave him a map to the labyrinth so that he wouldn't get lost. He decided he would check it out the next night. --- Classes had be going well for some time now, but oddly, hardly any new person had spok to Silva. It was as if they were keeping their distance from him. But on this day, the purple-haired girl walked up to Silva after a class they had together. "Hello," she said, her face not showing any emotions. Silva looked up at who had called him and th responded. "Hey, what's up?" he asked. "I want to talk to you. Do you mind?" she asked. "No, not at all. You want to talk here or outside?" he asked. "Let's go outside," she said and started walking. Silva got up and followed her out of the class. They walked side by side in the hallway. They had walked a small distance from the class before she started talking. "My name is Leah, Leah Remini. My father is a Marquess," she introduced herself. "I guess teaching me history is not really the reason you came to meet me today, so what made you talk to me?" Silva asked. "Well, as much as I don't like it, you are the rank one of the class, and that makes you the strongest. But you have made an emy of the whole third years. You need strong allies that will help you. You may be confidt, but there are things you don't know and can't do. Ev now, there are heavy plots happing in the first year to take you down. You may be strong, but if you are hit by surprise, you will still fall. And so I wanted to offer a hand to be your ally. I am certain I can be of help," she said, stretching out her hand for a handshake. Silva paused a bit, looked at her, and asked, "What's the catch? All you said will only profit me. I find it hard to believe that someone as smart as you will do something where you befit nothing," Silva said. "That's true. What I want is for you to become my sparring partner. I need to get stronger, and aside from your sister, there are few that can match my pace," she explained. 'I see, she wants to try to unravel me like a ball of yarn, understand my secrets, and use them to get stronger. It's a good plan, to be honest, and ev though I don't really need her, having another ally will be helpful. I can also tell that she isn't lying, so there's no harm in accepting.' Silva shook her hand in agreemt. "Fine th, whever we are free, let's spar. I'd like to see your abilities as well; maybe I can learn a thing or two from you," Silva said. "Likewise," she replied. They spoke about wh they would have their first spar and th parted ways. Silva decided that since classes were over, he would go check out the labyrinth. He followed the map, and it led him through halls and places that he didn't think existed in the academy. Finally, he arrived underg, at a massive door with two guards. Immediately they saw him, they pointed their swords at him. "First year, you should not be here," one of them said in a harsh tone.
