SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

"So what do I do now?" Oliver said.

"The competition, the one that will be used to decide who will go for the Elite competition, is coming up in a few days, and you have to use that. One of the competitions will be to scale through a particular labyrinth, not too far from here. I have a map of that labyrinth, and there is an inescapable room marked on it. What you need to do is decide on a method to trap Silva inside.

The room can only be opened from the outside, so all you have to do is get him locked inside and leave him there. He will either slowly die or stay there for all eternity. Do you understand? You will reclaim all that you have lost if you do that.

I don't know how you will do it, but that is up to you. I'll provide the resources and opportunity to do it.

If you understand, then we can move on," the president said.

"I understand, president. I just have a few questions. You said that Silva is favored by the director. What did you mean by that?" Oliver asked.

"That is beyond what you need to know, Oliver. Just do what you need to do without questions, and you will be able to get what was yours back into your hands.

Remember, you must be ready. You can only do this once. If you fail, it's all over for you. He will catch on to the scheme, and at that point, he will try to get rid of you since you have become a threat.

He will do what you plan to do to him. He will kill you in the labyrinth and leave you there to die, so be careful.

Your brother Silva is smart, and his plots run deep. If there is one shaky part, he may try to get rid of it, and that's why you need to take him out once," the president explained.

"President, how do you know so much about my brother?" Oliver asked.

"Because he and I are similar in a way—always trying to be a few steps ahead of people. That is the reason I see him as a threat.

But he has yet to understand the world like me, and so he is not fully mature. That's why I'll be able to take him down before he becomes too strong," the president explained.

Silva's parents from Ribest, as well as Quinn, finally came to Blacklight to see the Duke. It had been days since Silva had visited them, and today was the day they came.

For those reasons, Silva asked permission to leave the academy and take his parents, as well as his siblings, to see the Duke.

Jade and Oliver had also gone home from the academy to host Silva's parents when they arrived. Their mom had spoken to the director on their behalf.

Silva and Lia were about to leave the academy after telling their friends where they would be and why they were going there right now.

Their parents were currently at Mike's house, waiting for Silva and Lia.

As Silva and Lia headed for the gates of the academy, Silva saw someone he hadn't seen since he came to the academy. It was Fay's brother, Ray, who was a third-year now. When he saw Silva, he was a bit surprised, but then he came to meet Silva.

"Silva, it's nice to see you," Ray greeted.

"Same. I haven't seen you at all," Silva said.

"Well, the S class of the third years has had to do a lot of things, and I have to top them to remain in the S class. But I have seen you and heard about you. You are basically the hottest topic in the academy. The whole third and second years hate you, mostly the guys, but all the same," he informed Silva.

"You don't hate me now, do you?" Silva asked.

"Not possible. You are a friend. I won't start hating you because you beat some of my classmates. But in all honesty, you are something else, defeating third-years like it was nothing.

You guys seem to be headed somewhere, so I won't delay you further. But I'll leave some info with you. You should watch your back very well and be wary of everyone.

Not only the third and second years have issues with you. I am certain that by now even the council will have their eye on you," Ray said. He bid them farewell and then left.

Silva didn't think much about anything Ray said. He would handle the issues no matter how they came.

But Lia was a bit worried about it, so she asked, "Will you be okay?"

"Are you worried about what he said? You don't have to worry. Even if they ganged up on me, they would still all lose in the end," Silva assured her and continued walking.

They finally got to the house and met with his parents and Quinn. Since all of them had arrived, they got into the carriage that had been waiting and headed for the Duke's mansion.

When they arrived, the guards tried to stop them, but when they saw Silva inside, they immediately opened the gates and let them through.

"Seems you are quite important, haha," Mike said.

"Well, he is the son of a Duke," Quinn followed up.

"He is still my baby boy regardless," Silva's mom said and hugged him tightly.

The carriage pulled up, and the same butler they had met that day, as well as some maids, were already waiting for them.

As soon as they stepped out, the maids and the butler bowed.

"Welcome, young master," they all greeted.

"That's enough, you guys should raise your heads," Silva said.

"The master and family are waiting for all of you. Allow me to lead you to them," the butler said before leading the way to the dining room.
