Chapter 276 276 – It’s Time

The director saw a young man in the front row when he had made an appearance earlier. 

From a quick glance, he had already noticed that he wasn’t like the rest of the people that he was seated next to.

From a quick glance, the director had been able to see an immense amount of potential in that young man.

From a quick glance, the director knew that this young man would be entering the Magic Academy which was why he was extremely confused when he saw that he wasn’t appearing in any of the sparrings that he just saw.

Then, as he wondered what happened to him, it seemed that someone had heard as Lady Sophia appeared in the observation room and she would be answering all of Aiden’s interrogations.

“Oh, Sophia what are you doing, quickly end this entrance exam we don’t have all day,” one of the teachers named Marcus complained.

Sophia hearing this simply smiled as she was used to such comments from those arrogant teachers.

Nonetheless, she acted as politely as she could.

“Marcus, please don’t be so impatient, this last fight will be one that you will all want to watch,” Sophia announced out of nowhere, surprising in the room except for the director who had a clear idea of who would be fighting.

“You see during this entrance exam, I discovered a talent among talent. Well, I won’t say too much about him, you will all see. But, all I will say is that some of you will probably consider giving him a disciple status within the academy.”

Then, after saying that, she waited to see some of their reactions and it was clear that everyone who was present at the moment in the room was extremely confused about everything that she had just said.

“Disciple status? Someone in the entrance exam is worth of such a title?” Marcus questioned, clearly not buying this whole thing.

Sophia was probably exaggerating as there was simply no way that such a title would. be given to those who participated in the entrance exam.

In fact, multiple disciple status had been given to those who had been recruited by the Magic Academy in advance.

“Marcus, look you can say that to me after watching him fight, oh and also he only started learning how to use magic today. So, keep that in mind,” Sophia said as she left everyone in the room flabbergasted.

She knew that Aiden was only a beginner in magic from how he practiced during the precision test. The fact that he had no control over his spells clearly indicated that he had used magic in a scarce manner during his life.

However, that fact wasn’t a bad thing at all, actually, it was a good thing since it only served to increase his worth in the eyes of many.

‘I knew it, that young man was different. I don’t know what it was but I could almost feel a threat from him and none of the teachers in this room have achieved that yet,’ the director of the Magic Academy thought.

***

Back in the waiting room, Anna was trying to rile Aiden up as much as she could before the fight, however, it seemed that all of her attempts were failing miserably as Aiden hadn’t responded even once, keeping a stone-cold face.

“Don’t act like you don’t care, I’ll destroy you when we enter the arena,” Anna continued, acting as if she was better than Aiden.

Aiden on the other hand didn’t even pay attention to her as his mind was in some place completely different.

‘I wonder when she’s going to come back, this is getting long. I wonder what happened that she had to go.’

He was obviously thinking about Sophia since it had been almost five minutes since she had been gone, delaying the fight between him and Sophia.

Also, Aiden didn’t want to be stuck here any longer as he hated the people who were currently around him.

Well, at least, there was a single person who wasn’t bothering him at the moment and that was Evelynn who was sitting in a corner with her small beast with her seemingly comforting her because of her defeat.

Because Evelynn had succeeded in the innate talent challenge and she had reached the sparrings where she had suffered a defeat against one of those privileged brats.

However, the reason why she had lost that match hadn’t been because of her skills as they were clearly superior compared to the person which she had fought.

The reason that she had lost was because of her equipment and weapons.

Well, actually weapon probably wasn’t the best word to describe the little beast which was currently her.

The reason that she had lost was because of her beast which hadn’t been strong enough, it was that simple.

It was clear that the beast that she currently had wasn’t the best on the market and Aiden truly wondered why she had such a small beast to fight for her.

He had also watched the fight and he had to admit that he had been quite disappointed as he had expected the small creature to transform and become so strong that no one would be able to rival with him, but sadly such a thing didn’t happen.

If she had gotten a stronger beast to help her against her opponent then she would have won without much problem as Aiden had to admit that her talents at guiding the creature were quite impressive.

However, it hadn’t been enough.

Then, Aiden dismissed those thoughts about her as he noticed that there was a fluctuation of mana in the middle of the room.

‘Is it what happens when we teleport?’ Aiden thought as this was the first time that he had been able to see anything related to the teleportation that Sophia had used.

“Alright, enough time wasted, it’s time for the two of you to fight against one another.”
