SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

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."

She put a drop on another plate and did the same thing she did to the first sample.

"As I thought, it is similar. The only difference is that the sample you gave me is far less potent, but it does have the same qualities as Drake's blood," Lisa said and placed the plate down.

"So what does it mean?" Silva asked. He already had an idea but needed confirmation.

"It means that somehow, this kid got his hands on some demon blood, vampire blood, or something similar. He ingested it, and it gave him more power, but slowly consumed him.

It should be impossible for a child like him to get his hands on something like that. Demons do not exist in our realm as of now, and the closest things are vampires.

But when the blood of a vampire leaves its body for too long, it turns to ash. You would need a special device to capture the blood and keep it in a good state.

There is no way a child would be able to get his hands on something like that unless he was given it by somebody powerful," Lisa explained.

"I see. Then this has to be the work of the academy, and from the way the teachers reacted, it means they must have been informed a little," Silva said.

"Thank you, Lisa. I'll be going now; I need to deal with this issue and understand what is going on," Silva said and left her lab.

He immediately returned to the academy, appearing right inside Matilda's office. She was shocked to see him walk out of a portal, but she tried to hide it and welcome him.

"Silva, it's nice to see—"

"Cut the crap. You and I both know you hate me right now," Silva said, taking a seat.

"I'll be straight with you. I know you know what happened during my duel, and that a student died. I went ahead to do a little research and discovered that this boy had taken something dangerous.

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.
