Lith, noticing he was free and had no pressure, turned to look behind him to check up on Emilia, only to see her stand and look at him with a smiley face.
'Why is she smiling?' Lith wondered.
Before Lith could ask her that, the shadow said, "this was a test, stop being so surprised. She wasn't affected in the latter half, just you were."
Lith turned to look at the shadow and said, "I see."
The shadow bent down to match Lith's eye level and peered deep into his amethyst purple eyes.
"Why were you not afraid?"
Before answering, Lith asked, "the trial is over and I passed, right?"
"Yes, you did. Now answer me." The shadow was straight to the point.
Lith shrugged and replied, "Could be because I am a genius."
His mother told him that nothing bad would happen to him even if arrived at this place and explored.
