After that day, Leon took it upon himself to start training Silva in a full course of swordsmanship. But in just a year, Leon could not even keep up in the slightest; Silva had gone beyond what he could handle.
So he stopped the lessons and decided to ask a favor from the leader of the adventurer's guild, who was known to have the highest strength in the town.
Today was the day that Silva was going to start his training with the guild master. He would have to pass a test first, and if he proved capable, the guild master would train him.
During the past year, Silva did his best to get to level ten, and with his ten times effect, he was able to achieve it before his training began.
His stats had basically dwarfed his father's and everyone else's in the house. This led to heavy resentment from Mike; it had gone from anger to pure, unfiltered hatred.
They never met gazes anymore. Mike threw himself into training, wanting to surpass Silva. He poured his soul into it and collapsed on multiple occasions.
His father explained to him that he was already on a great path and that he should stop the obsession of surpassing Silva.
He told him that what he was doing was hurting himself and that he was still not getting where he wanted to be, so he should stop.
His father had said that with all good intentions, but all that Mike heard was that he wasn't as good as Silva and would not be able to surpass him.
That pierced his heart and caused him to start pushing harder and harder, not caring how much damage he did to himself.
Lia, on the other hand, had grown to like Silva more over the year, and that caused Mike even more pain, watching his twin sister act that way with the person he hated.
After getting to level 10, Silva was finally able to access the shop feature of his system. When he had first come to this world, he thought that everyone was able to use a system like him, but it seemed it wasn't that way.
For other people to see their stats, they needed special items or the appraisal skill.
He, on the other hand, had a full system with awesome features. He was certain that this was the work of the goddess.
He was yet to check the shop feature, but he would do that after he passed the test with the guild master.
"Silva!" His father called from outside. Silva left his room and headed out to meet his father.
They both headed towards the adventurer's guild, which was a full ten minutes' walk from their house.
They arrived at a two-story building with the sign "adventurer's guild" boldly displayed.
Leon walked in, and Silva followed behind. As soon as they entered, some adventurers who were seated there started calling out to Leon in greeting.
While some shot Silva some looks that he didn't understand, he paid them no heed.
Leon walked to the counter where the receptionist was.
"Is the guild master in?" he asked.
The receptionist was a beautiful lady dressed in a green and white uniform for the guild.
"Sir Leon, it's nice to see you. The guild master is upstairs; you can head there," she said with a smile.
Leon nodded and headed towards the stairs with Silva. When they got to the second floor, Leon headed straight for a door and knocked on it before opening it.
"Leon, it is good to see you!" A huge man called out to Leon as soon as he entered. His body was ripped, and his muscles glistened like they were made of metal.
His clothes were barely able to keep from ripping. He was far above six feet tall, and with those muscles, he looked like a giant.
Silva used Dragon Eyes, and he was shocked to see the stats of this man. He was a level seventy, with stats over a hundred and fifty. His most impressive stat was his strength.
The strength was two hundred, while all other stats were about a hundred and fifty.
'This man is a monster.' That was the only thought passing through Silva's head.
"It's good to see you again, guild master," Leon said and bowed his head.
"Drop the guild master business. We've been friends for a long time now; call me Raze. That's my name, or have you forgotten?" the guild master asked.
"No, I remember, but this is me asking for a favor, so I should at least show some respect," Leon said.
"Forget that. So is this the young man that I am to bea— I mean, train?" Raze asked.
'The hell? This man clearly said beat. He wants to beat me up? What the hell have I done to you? We just met,' Silva yelled in his mind.
"Yes, he is the one. His situation is special, like I told you before, which is why the details have to be between me and you," Leon said.
"I understand; you don't need to stress about it. But he has to prove that he is worthy of being my student," Raze said.
If this was just a test, Silva was sure that he could stand his ground. After all, his stats had really gone up after he became level ten. He received an increase of two to all stats, and his 10x effect multiplied them to twenty and added them to the original stats.
**Race:** Human (50%), Dark Dragon (50%)
**Legacy:** Dark Dragon Legacy (Awakened)
**Magical Affinities:** Summoning, Darkness, Abyss Magic
**Intelligence:** 100
**Free stat points:** 40
He may not be half of Raze, but his strength was enough to pass any test that Raze could throw at him.
If he was not able to pass with stats like his, then Raze simply didn't want him to pass.
