Chapter 301 301 – Can I Kill Her?

Before Aiden had arrived in the Coliseum, many teachers of the academy were in an observation room, looking at both Aiden and Garestsa fighting against one another.

Almost everyone in the room thought that Garestsa would be winning this fight, sure, they had seen how strong Aiden was in the entrance exam. But, this was a whole other level, he would be fighting one of the most talented students in the academy.

And from what they had seen, Aiden only knew the most basic spells. However, the only thing that made him truly unique were all the affinities that he possessed.

“Do you think he’s going to win David? He’s your disciple, after all. You probably know best,” one of the teachers around him asked, wondering what he would say.

“Of course I do, there’s no doubt in my mind that he will completely destroy his opponent. In fact, I wonder if he’s even going to get hit by a single spell,” he asked with a lot of confidence.

His confidence was after all quite normal when you knew about Aiden’s background in close-range fights.

“Also, I’ll give you a little preview of what’s going to happen, but he will defeat that girl without using the slightest amount of magic spells. He would do so only with physical abilities.”

Everyone in the room couldn’t believe what he had just said as they all knew that such a thing was impossible in the first place.

It was common knowledge, after all, that magic was superior to physical weapons, there was no doubt about that.

***

Garestsa was starting to panic, she didn’t know what was happening.

Why would someone get closer to her?

It simply made no sense considering that the two of them were mages.

Shouldn’t Aiden be keeping his position launching spells from far away?

‘What are those small lightning sparks that are coming off his shoes?’ She thought, wondering if this was a magic spell.

She wasn’t sure if that was the case, and it wasn’t like she could analyze what he was doing since, with his current pace, he would soon be reaching her.

‘I need to do something, but what spells can I even use for someone moving that fast? None of them will even hit him,’ she thought, completely destabilized over what Aiden had just done.

The ones who were watching from far away probably had a lot of difficulty gauging the speed at which Aiden was currently moving.

From their point of view, he probably wasn’t moving as fast as Garestsa could see, being right in front of him.

That’s why many were mocking him for their actions, however, even the director knew that Aiden’s speed couldn’t be taken lightly, he had to use his portal spell to counter it after all.

Nonetheless, Garestsa was completely lost as she decided to launch multiple spells of ice affinity, unsure if they would hit.

However, she had no other choices, it wasn’t like she could teleport away from Aiden to gain distance, she didn’t have the space affinity which meant that she was pretty much assured of losing as many icicles started leaving her hands.

Aiden saw them and simply scoffed as he couldn’t believe that was the spell that she had gone for. Even he could cast those spells.

‘Wasn’t she supposed to be extremely talented? So why is it that she’s trying to hit with those spells,’ Aiden thought as he made sure to dodge every single icicle.

However, that wasn’t the end of those spells as there was now a giant ice wall that separated both Garestsa and Aiden.

It seemed like she had understood the current situation, or rather, Aiden’s plan.

That’s why she decided that she would make it a lot harder for Aiden to reach her by putting walls around her.

‘Does she really think that this will stop me?’ Aiden thought as he deactivated [Lightning Steps], slowly but surely flying up in the air.

***

Everyone in the crowd who saw that Aiden had just started to fly out of nowhere was now in complete awe over the young man.

“How can he use the flight spell already? Just who is that young man?”

Everyone in the arena seemed to have different questions on their mind as they couldn’t believe that Aiden could already fly at such a young age.

However, they didn’t know that he wasn’t using mana to fly, but that was a detail that those people would never know.

***

Now flying, Aiden quickly looked at what was happening inside those walls and it seemed that the beast girl was simply panicking at the moment, wondering what she could do to win.

She was currently seated on the ground, crying. She knew that this was the end for her.

“Why did I do that? Why did I do that?”

She kept repeating that sentence over and over again, knowing that there was no way that she would be winning this fight.

She saw that look in Aiden’s eyes before the fight. She knew that once he started moving at that speed there was literally nothing that she could do.

All of her spells worked on people who couldn’t move at great speeds, what was she supposed to do if none of her spells could hit Aiden?

The only reason she had decided to use icicles was quite simple, that was the only spell that she had in her arsenal that could rival Aiden’s speed. The rest of them were designed in a way that they could hit mages.

‘What’s happening to her?’ Aiden thought as he didn’t even remember what would happen to her if she lost.

Nonetheless, he couldn’t care less as he remembered how confident she had been yesterday.

That’s why Aiden needed to make that to pass on a message.

He needed to make sure that no one would be stupid enough to ask him to a duel once again.

He stopped asking himself any questions as he knew very well that she hadn’t paying attention to her surroundings, murmuring something to herself over and over again.

Without wasting any more time, Aiden dived down just like he had done a thousand times back in that Cultivation World.

‘Let’s see if this is all but an act,’ Aiden thought as he held his dagger firmly.

He remembered what the announcer had said at the start of the fight, they could try to kill one another as there would be people ready to stop their attacks if it came to that point.

That’s why he didn’t waste any time, aiming right for that girl’s throat. He didn’t care if they couldn’t stop him, he was going to kill her. The only way that he wouldn’t was if those around were to stop like they had said at the start of the fight.

Then, as Aiden continued to get closer and closer to that crying girl, he couldn’t feel anything wrong or any pressure put on him. It seemed that the ones who needed to stop him still weren’t reacting at all.

‘Whatever, it’s not my problem, either way,’ Aiden thought as he was in arm’s reach of Garestsa.

Aiden’s dagger slowly started getting closer to that neck, only an inch away from it.

‘Are they really going to let me do this?’
