Chapter 264 264 – First Part

‘Are they laughing because they think it’s humiliating to have a fire affinity?’ 

Aiden started to think that when he heard them laughing out loud while mumbling something.

“He’s of the fire affinity and he’s next to us, just what’s happening to this academy.”

‘Is it really that bad?’ 

‘Maybe I should have said something else.’

Aiden didn’t like being laughed at and this whole situation was quite displeasing in his eyes as they kept mocking.

‘Maybe I should have told them the truth.’

However, having that thought, he remembered the problem affiliated with that, they wouldn’t even believe him if he were to say that.

There was simply no way of that happening.

There wasn’t a good decision, that was why he had said that.

Then, all of them stopped laughing at the same time as it seemed that they had another question ready which would be directed at Aiden.

“What about your core? It must be high-ranked if you’re seated next to us.”

This time, Aiden didn’t hesitate as he remembered the faces of everyone around him outside of the academy.

He remembered the faces of people who seemed jealous of Aiden, others seemed surprised, however, not a single one of the people outside seemed disappointed with his Core Rank.

That’s why he didn’t hesitate and answered right away.

“Gold Rank, my core is Gold Ranked.”

He said it two times to put emphasis on the word “Gold” and it seemed to have worked as they didn’t start laughing like earlier.

Aiden heard some of them gulp and it was clear that not a single person there would be laughing at him, there was simply no way of that happening.

“It’s gold, huh? Impressive,” one of the people seated next to him said, knowing that he had gotten beaten in terms of the Core Rank.

He knew that he wasn’t even close to that rank which is why he simply congratulated him without saying anything more.

‘I guess Lady Sophia didn’t lie earlier, he has some talent.’

That was the thought that all of the people seated next to Aiden had on their minds.

It was really impressive, however, even if the rank of his core was high, the rarety of his affinity brought down Aiden’s value by a lot.

However, the thing that those youngsters ignored was that Aiden wasn’t actually of the fire affinity.

The most plausible scenario was that he had so many affinities that they hadn’t been able to pinpoint his specialty.

If they knew about the problem regarding his affinity, they wouldn’t have tried to pick a fight with him since he would surely become an important figure in the academy.

Just based on the rank of his core, he would be able to dominate the majority of the people in the academy. However, with his limitless affinities, it would be even more accented.

No one would be able to rival him.

However, that knowledge was still completely unknown to Aiden and those who were seated to his right.

If they knew about Aiden’s potential, they would try to get in his good graces right now, there was no doubt about that.

Then, as they were about to continue this whole discussion they got interrupted by the red curtains which were right in front of him that started opening revealing an interesting figure on the other side of those curtains.

The voice of the lady from earlier resounded inside the building as it seemed that there was a really important announcement happening right about now.

“Please welcome, the director of this academy, Misterrrr Harry Weasly!”

As the lady from earlier shouted the whole room where people were currently seated seemed to be on fire as they all started shouting and clapping.

*CLAP*

*CLAP*

“WOOAH!”

It seemed that the person who was on the stage right now was quite impressive as everyone started applauding him as if he was some sort of literal god.

“Thank you, thank you, please quiet down,” the person with the name Harry Weasly announced.

Then, right as he said that all the shouts and the clapping instantly stopped and was instead replaced by pure silence in the academy.

‘Well, people certainly respect him.’

Aiden knew that the reason why everyone in this room respected the elderly who was on stage was simple, it was because of his strength.

There was no doubt about that part, strength clearly played a huge role in his position.

The man who was on the stage was probably really important and the reason for that being his strength.

Once again, it was proof that strength dictated everything.

Then, the elder man who had long white hair that reached his lower back started announcing the rules concerning the entrance exam.

“Now, let’s talk about the entrance exam and how it will go down!” The director said as he put some energy into his voice.

“The entrance exam will be separated into three parts, the first one being an accuracy test, the second one being testing people’s innate talent, and the third one being a sparring between two of the people trying to get into the academy.”

“When reaching each part of the entrance exam, you will be given a lot more details than right now.”

“The reason as to why I’m not saying everything right now is honestly quite simple, not everyone will reach the second part or third part of the trial and the other reason is that I don’t want to.”

He finished by saying that and he disappeared from the stage instantly and in his place the lady from earlier.

“Hello, students I will now be guiding you all toward the first part of the entrance exam which is an accuracy test just like the director just mentioned.”

‘He didn’t want to explain the three parts of the entrance exam, is he lazy or something?’ Aiden thought, clearly unhappy with what had just happened.

Why couldn’t the director simply explain everything right away, wouldn’t that have been a lot simpler?
