If Maple didn't slow down.

I'm pretty sure she would've squashed me like bread dough.

Sylva's mouth twitched into a smirk.

It seems like she had something in mind.

"I know the perfect test for you."

Getting up from her chair, I watched Sylva retreat to her workspace. Filled with various glass bottles or jars.

"I'm only having you go into the lower part, the entrance to the middle and upper parts of London are kept between my former test challenger and I."

Former test challenger?

"If you want to pass, you have to find a certain flower that can only be found in the lower parts of London together with my former test challenger."

I gulped.

"And...what was the name of your former test challenger?"

A girl?

A boy?

An adult?

I don't even know who this person was.

But former?

Does that mean someone managed to pass the test before me?

"Nico."
