Chapter 110: Something good
Right now, a few things had to be fine before he could be free like that. There was the issue with the monster wave that was headed for Ribest.
Then there was the issue of him being the son of a Duke. He was yet to personally go and tell his mother and father in Ribest the news.
He was sure that they had already heard about it, but that didn\'t change anything. He decided that this weekend he would go to Ribest with Lia and talk to them, also probably bring them to the city to meet the Duke and his mom.
As Silva thought about going, he remembered that Mike was in the city; he would have to check on Mike and take him back as well. The whole family needed to be there.
The weekend started the next day, so it was the best time for him to go.
Silva left the labyrinth and headed to the store. The woman was a bit surprised to see him back so soon, but she said nothing.
Silva took out all the basic core drops and handed them to the woman. It was as much as the last time, which still shocked her.
Then he took out the metallic cores and dropped them. When she saw those, she froze in shock, staring at them with wide eyes.
"Ho-how did you get these?" she asked, stammering as she spoke.
"In the labyrinth, of course," Silva responded.
"Sigh, sorry, but I won\'t be able to award any points for them until they are shown to the director.
These cores are extremely precious and very expensive; only the director can decide on what to do with them," she said.
"Oh, is that how it is? Well, no problem then. When I return from the weekend, you can hand over the points to me after your discussion," Silva said.

"That will be good. I\'ll still give you the points for the basic cores, so hand me your card."
Silva handed his card to her. She took it and transferred over twenty thousand points to him. He collected his card back and left the store.
"Good thing I didn\'t take out all, she might have just passed out," Silva said to himself as he left.
On his way back to his room, through a corridor, Silva spotted a group of second years standing and waiting, a total of five boys.
Silva had only really had interaction with the third years of the academy; he was yet to meet the second and fourth years, so he had no business with the second years. He simply walked by.
But then, they stepped forward and blocked him, and a white-haired boy began talking.
"So you are the Silva that\'s got the whole school heated. Prodigy student defeats not one but two third years, also turns out to be the son of a Duke.
You\'re the hot topic across all years. The girls are all about how good-looking and strong you are. All that must be getting to your head, right?" the boy asked.
Silva gave him a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
"Don\'t you have anything better to do? Like seriously, is there nothing you\'d rather be doing right now than be here spewing rubbish?" Silva asked.
"You bloody bastard!" the boy roared. He nearly threw a fist but managed to stop it in time.
"Your hand would have been crushed into bits had you hit my face," Silva said with a devilish smile.
"So that\'s how it is, eh? You\'re getting cocky. You might be the son of a Duke, but within this academy, that doesn\'t matter at all," the boy said.
"Son of the Duke? You think I care about that? I was already a B-ranked adventurer by the age of twelve. I have more wealth than some noble homes, and that was long before I knew anything about the Duke.
I don\'t need the Duke to change the shape of your face in one punch. So you want to test that out?" Silva asked.
He decided to be proud. He decided to shove his success into this boy\'s face and show him how little he was.
All the boys had started getting pissed at what Silva was doing. They really wanted to beat him up.
Silva walked closer to him and spoke. "If you don\'t like what I\'m saying, then I\'ll duel all of you, all of you at the same time.
In fact, I challenge all of you to a duel at the same time. You can\'t refuse since I am the junior here.
The duel will be on the first day after the weekend. You have enough time to prepare because I will be going all out, and I\'ll make sure that I show all of you what hell can look like.
The rules of the duel are that there is no giving up, and the only way to lose is when the person passes out." Silva said as he walked past them, leaving them stunned.
Silva bounced out of there feeling triumphant. What better way to boost his popularity than to take out five second years at the same time?
Silva wanted one thing: to take over the academy. His dreams had led him to the academy, but they hadn\'t shown him what to do now again, so he decided to do anything that came to mind.
It was possible that he would be on the right path, and he would understand why the goddess wanted him to be here.
[Congratulations, you are on the right path to understanding your task. The goddess Ophelia has rewarded you with a question ticket.]
[A question ticket allows you to ask one question to the system and receive an answer. Ensure to think about your question properly before asking.]
"Ohh, something good has arrived."
