"Silas!" Ava called out, her voice trembling as she took in his blood-spattered form. "Is it done?" She asked, her chest heaving from both exhaustion and anticipation, sweat glistening on her brow.

Without a word, Silas extended the Realm god\'s head toward her. Ava and the others stared in stunned silence, their eyes wide, mouths slightly open as they processed what he was holding. The weight of his victory was written across their faces, a mixture of relief, admiration, and shock.

"How... how did you manage this?" Ava breathed, almost to herself, as she took in the gruesome trophy.

Silas gave a half-smirk, shrugging nonchalantly. "Let\'s skip the details," he replied coolly. "And keep this a secret. When we\'re back at the academy, you\'re going to tell Sir Dominic that *you* were the ones who cleared the realm. Since I\'ve been assigned to raid realms until month-end, I\'ll keep helping you clear up to the twelfth realm so you can qualify for your positions. After that, you\'re on your own."

The women exchanged looks, still digesting his words. Anita finally found her voice, her expression guarded but curious. "Why are you helping us, Silas? You don\'t owe us anything."

Silas\'s smirk broadened, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "I\'m just doing it for the rewards," he replied with a faint chuckle.

"The rewards?" Ava echoed, her brow furrowing. "What kind of rewards?"

He waved her off dismissively. "You wouldn\'t understand," he said, handing her the head of the Realm god and the other mutant parts. "And that\'s enough questions."

As Silas started to walk away, Ava\'s voice rang out again, stopping him in his tracks. "Silas!" She called, her tone softer now, almost reverent. "Thank you. Because of you, we\'ll get the jobs we need to support our families. We owe you. And don\'t worry—your secret\'s safe with us."

Without turning, Silas gave a curt nod before continuing his stride, his form quickly disappearing into the shadows of the realm.

A few minutes later, Ava activated her communicator and sent a request to the academy, marking their location for extraction. Within moments, a shimmering blue portal appeared, casting an eerie glow over the group. They exchanged relieved glances before stepping through, leaving the blood-soaked battleground behind.

As they emerged back at the academy\'s construction site, Silas wordlessly broke away from the group, heading toward the cafeteria. The evening sky had deepened to a navy blue, and the academy grounds buzzed with students gathering for dinner before curfew. The warm, bustling atmosphere of the cafeteria felt worlds away from the bloodshed he\'d just left behind.

Silas scanned the room until he spotted Vic and the others, talking around a table a few meters away. He approached, and as he did, Vic looked up, a smirk breaking out on his face.

"Oh, look who\'s back from his \'punishment,\'" Vic teased, rising to shake Silas\'s hand. "How was the hunt?"

Silas shrugged. "Still got more to do until the month ends. Guess I won\'t be around as much during the day." He took a seat, glancing at the others as he settled in. Your next read awaits at empire

Angelica leaned forward, a mischievous glint in her eye. "So? How was it? I heard you were sent to a lower-graded realm—bet it was a breeze for you."

"Yeah," Silas replied, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Everything went smoothly." He left out the part where he\'d single-handedly faced down the god of the realm.

As they exchanged updates, Vic leaned in, his tone suddenly more serious. "There\'s news for you, Silas. The staff announced another test next week—everyone\'s going into the same realm. The academy says it\'s for safety, but I think they just want to keep an eye on us."

Silas\'s expression tightened. "Everyone? Why throw all of us in together?"

"Safety in numbers, they said," Vic replied, rolling his eyes. "To avoid a repeat of what happened last time, they figure grouping us will make it easier to control things."

Silas\'s mind raced as he processed this. Being in the same realm as the other students meant he\'d have to tread carefully. He wouldn\'t be able to unleash his powers openly, especially not with the academy\'s watchful eyes.

"Silas," Vic continued, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "I don\'t think mutants are the only threat in that realm. There are some students who aren\'t happy with us. They\'re still bitter about the canceled test—they blame us for not being able to gather enough mutant parts. Plus, Billy and his gang are back from the hospital."

Silas\'s gaze hardened. "Billy and his cronies have it out for us? Let them try...." he said, though he was calculating how he\'d handle any attacks without revealing his powers.

"That\'s the thing," Vic added, his tone grim. "Since the realm isn\'t on academy grounds, there won\'t be any staff around to stop him. It\'s the perfect place for revenge—and they\'ll have backup. We need to be ready."

Silas leaned back, feigning nonchalance, though his mind was already turning over the implications. Billy and a handful of disgruntled students didn\'t concern him; he was more powerful than any of them. But if they attacked with other students watching, he\'d be limited. Revealing his abilities in front of so many witnesses will definitely not end well for him.
