Since the town had no stronger monsters for him, he decided to channel his energy into studying with Lia and getting ready for the entrance exams.

During this time, Mike had become quieter and very diligent with his sword training. Ever since he could walk again, he trained as hard as he could.
He also decided that he would become an adventurer in Blacklight City rather than stay here.
So, of all the children, only Quin remained in the town.
The time for the exams had come, and it was also the day that Mike would be leaving. He decided to stay until Silva and Lia were leaving, and then he would leave as well.
The carriage waited outside their house, one specially prepared by the Viscount because his daughter, Fay, would be heading for the exams as well.
Fay had been very active in her attempts to get Silva to look her way, but he kept escaping her grasp.
She was no longer doing it because her father asked; no, this time she seriously wanted Silva, and those feelings had started blooming not too long after they went to Blacklight.
Silva, Fay, Lia, and Mike got into the carriage, and immediately, it was already an issue.
Both Fay and Lia decided to sit beside Silva, and when they both sat down at the same time, they stared daggers into each other.
Silva, on the other hand, slipped out of the chair and sat down with Mike. The faces of the girls turned sour immediately after he moved.
"You should sit with them," Mike said.
"No, they\'re alright there," Silva replied.
Mike didn\'t say anything more. He just gazed out of the window as their journey started.
Silva looked outside the back window. He watched his parents wave at them as they left.
It had been thirteen years—thirteen years since he died and was reborn in this world—and for the first time, he was leaving Ribest for an extended time.
He was about to start the next phase of his journey at the academy.
He somewhat looked forward to the academy, to see kids his age and to see what the academy had to offer.
Though he doubted that whatever they taught would really impact his life, still, you never know.
The carriage left the town, and soon, the town was out of view.
Silva had sent Dawn ahead of him a month ago to prepare certain things with the help of the three A-ranks.
Their names were Orion, Trez, and Jane—these were the ones he tortured the hell out of in the labyrinth.
They had helped Dawn establish a few useful networks and certain establishments that Silva would need.
As for Fang and Gallan, they were training in the labyrinth, but whenever he needed them, he could use the new shadow summoning spell he had learned.
It was a darkness spell that created a shadow portal to a person who had been marked, allowing the person to come to you instantly.

Many times now, Silva had thought about just letting his clone go to the academy for him, but he didn\'t see any reason to do that, and there was always the risk of exposure. So, at the end of the day, he decided that going himself was the best.
He also wanted to see that sly woman, the head of the academy. He could sense that she was far more than meets the eye.
The other reason why he wanted to go was because of his mother, the only one he wanted to meet.
He wouldn\'t rush, but he wanted to stop by to see her. Even if it was from a distance, he wanted to see her again.
As for the Duke, it was way too early to think about vengeance. The Duke was a powerful man, an evolved human, and had a massive personal army.
If Silva went all out and used the labyrinth and the guardians to fight, he could secure victory, but the loss and sacrifice would not be worth it.

"So, what do you plan on focusing on in the academy?" Fay struck up a conversation with Silva.
"Uhh, maybe sword techniques and stuff," Silva said.
"What? But your magic is much better. I\'ve seen it and heard about it," Fay said.
"You clearly know little about Silva, and that\'s why you spoke like that," Lia said.
"What the hell does that mean?" Fay asked.
"It means Silva isn\'t really interested in the academy or what they have to teach. He will probably just listen to what he thinks is important and throw away the rest. That\'s why he just said anything that came to his mind when you asked him that question," Mike spoke up while still looking outside.
\'To think Mike could read me to this level,\' Silva thought.
"If you do that, you will fail," Fay said with concern.
"Do you really think there will be any test that will prove too hard for Silva?
Aside from his absurd power, over the months, I discovered that he has a photographic memory. All he needs to do is glance at the material once or attend class once," Lia said.
\'It is not photographic memory, it\'s just because I have ten extremely powerful minds,\' Silva thought to himself.
Fay looked at him in shock when she heard that, and he just gave her a silly smile in response.
