Silver Mansion, Basement Area.
Walking through one of the many corridors, Lia yawned loudly as she asked Rio in confusion,
"I don't get it. Why would you choose a basement to be the place for your advancement?"
"Moreover, from what I have heard, the advancement process to rank SS is extremely violent… when Professor Jin advanced back then, he caused such a big commotion that the entire world's SS-rankers noticed it…"
Hearing Lia's words, Rio shook his head and replied in a calm voice,
"I am not going to advance in the basement; I am just making the necessary preparations for the advancement first by polishing my mind and spirit in a secluded and quiet place…"
At those words, Lia could only sigh.
"Well, I guess everyone's way of ascending is different…"
As if he knew what Lia was thinking, Rio replied calmly.
