Silas decided to stay low for some time. He didn't want to get involved too much with the Gamer and the Abyss anymore, he had to think of the safety of not only himself but also Tomoyo. He did wonder how the others were doing, especially Sasha, as he had really bonded with her. He guessed that she and Erica were still going to continue their trainings at Genji and Sumi's place. But that wasn't his problem anymore, at least for now. 

The next couple of days went very well. On Thursday he had a squash tournament, and even though he was out of it for a few weeks he did very well in the competition. No, he didn't become first but was ranked very high, third place. He accepted the little, throwaway, trophy and drank a few beers with the guys afterwards. He noticed that his training also began to effect his normal life. His slams were with much more power, and his agility on the course was much better. Though his technique still was sloppy at times, probably because he didn't train for a while.

The following four days he spend mostly studying. He had to catch up with several assignments that he had to hand in next week. But now with nothing on his mind he could spend his time doing that. In his free time he would go, and train at the squash again, to improve his technique. Though he noticed the Gamer effect was still present as he was also working on his speed and strength. Aside from studying and squashing he would either hang out with Tomoyo and game, sometimes the two even at the same time. He was lucky Tomoyo loved games. And he was happy she wasn't so concerned about him anymore. But something in his gut told Silas that something was coming up.
