Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem

Chapter 231 Brave And Reckless



Zach wasn't much for writing. When it came to assignments at the Academy or the ones he did for the tutors his parents hired when he was younger, he wrote what he needed to write. He answered the questions, but he didn't drawl on or give overly detailed answers. Occasionally, it frustrated his teachers and the instructors since they couldn't tell how he had gotten those answers.

But that was all a matter of passion. Zach wasn't passionate about what his teachers and instructors had been teaching and instructing.

He was, however, passionate about the perceived slights of the Labyrinth against him. So, he wrote. He filled sheet after sheet with his grievances.

When he finally felt done, he put down the pen with a satisfied smile. As if it couldn't wait, the Labyrinth tore down the desk and the walls, letting Zach into the same area as Violina and Oria.

"Did you guys also have to write something?" He asked. It seemed he had taken longer to finish the Trial than they had, so they had probably already shared their experience.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yeah. I wrote a poem," Violina's answer was a little unexpected, but Zach could see it. She had a slightly poetic air.

Oria just nodded. She also had to write something, but she didn't see a reason to share what she wrote with the others. They didn't need to know how impressed she was with their performance.

Oria hadn't known what to write, so she just wrote down the last few Trials and her thoughts about what had happened. That included her thoughts regarding Zach's strength and Violina's achievements. They were both several years younger than her and from families only one step above her own, but they had performed exceedingly well.

She was proud of the achievements of one of the children of the Systine family and the fact that she had such a good relationship with the youngest son of the Evandiel family, who was also a very promising summoner. The Systine family's future was bright, thanks to Violina.

But they didn't have to know she thought that.

They hadn't asked, but Zach was about to share what he had written when the Labyrinth interrupted them,

[Trial (11/12) complete.]

All three frowned. The message hadn't been the exact same after every Trial, but it had followed the same template. Now, however, the initial statement about how many had passed or remained was gone.

Instead… Experience exclusive tales on empire

[Do you wish to continue?]

They received a question. It was similar to the one after the halfway point.

They could choose to enter the twelfth Trial or return to the outside world with their lives and rewards intact.

Violina and Oria hesitated.

The Trials so far had been relatively easy. But out of all the exceptional youths, only three remained. They hadn't been that easy. And neither of them considered themselves better than all of the other people who had entered the Labyrinth throughout its history.

In all the records, there had not been one mention of anyone clearing the Labyrinth.

The Labyrinth of Syst had a decent survival rate, even up to the second last Trial. The last Trial, however, had a survival rate of zero percent.

No one who had entered the twelfth Trial had returned.

The rewards from the eleventh Trial were enough. There was no need to risk it.

Violina looked up from the message to see what Zach was going to do only to discover that he was already gone. She didn't know if he had chosen to continue or returned to the surface.

Zach was quick and sharp. He could have already made the prudent decision to quit while he was ahead and returned to the outside world. She hoped he had. It would be too great of a loss for his family, the Academy, and the world if he died in the Labyrinth long before he could realize his full potential.

But Zach wasn't just quick and sharp. He was bold. He was brave. He was confident. He was skilled. He was accompanied by two powerful warriors.

Most importantly, however, he was…Reckless. Foolish. Overconfident.

Violina might hope Zach had chosen to return to the outside world, but she knew better. She considered going after him when she looked at the message again.

It was gone.

She looked at Oria.

"...It looks like only one person can enter the twelfth Trial," she said.

Oria frowned slightly at Violina's assumption. It meant Zach had chosen to continue while they were still considering their options and chances. He hadn't hesitated. He had taken their opportunity away from them.

"...Seems like it." Oria probably wouldn't have chosen to continue either way, but she couldn't say she liked how Zach had taken that choice away from her. But she also couldn't claim Zach's lack of hesitation wasn't worthy of respect, even if she thought it was a foolish endeavor.

Zach had to know that no one had passed the twelfth Trial.

What made him think he was different? What made him think that he was better than everyone else? What made him take that decision?

Oria wanted to know. Violina wanted to know. She understood Zach to a certain degree after all the time they had spent together and after all the battles they had fought side by side. But it was more that she kind of knew what he would do. She didn't know why he did the things he did.

Zach was a mystery.

With a deep sigh, Violina turned to the sky, or rather the ocean above them.

"Let's return."

"Yes, Miss Violina." Oria nodded. At this point, there wasn't a reason to stay any longer. Zach and the twelfth Trial aside, they had cleared eleven Trials. Their rewards would be juicy, and both Violina and Oria were looking forward to it.

An invisible force enveloped them and carried them to the surface. They soon found themselves submerged in water. They swam to the surface where a pair of boats and the surviving entrants waited for them. As expected, Zach wasn't there.

He was in a dark room.
