Chapter 319 319 – Trial Objective Change

Aiden looked at her, his eyes showing how shocked he was at the moment.

She was here under orders, but… how did she know that he would be crossing that portal?

“Can you actually one of my questions before that?” Aiden asked, knowing that he could get his request refused without him being able to do anything about it.

But, he still wanted to know.

The purple-skinned girl didn’t seem to mind as she uttered. “Sure, go ahead.”

Aiden smiled upon hearing that response, truly happy.

“Then, can you tell me how you knew that I would be crossing that portal and coming here?”

The girl nodded acknowledging that it was a good question. She was unsure if she could tell him as she seemed to be pondering about it, her hand on her chin.

“Sure, I’ll tell you,” she said with a smile. “It’s actually quite simple, in fact, I’m surprised that you didn’t even notice yet.”

Aiden frowned upon hearing that as he obviously had some ideas about what had happened, however, he simply wanted to make sure that they were right.

“That little creature that kept following you around, well, it was created by us. So, we simply ordered it to guide you here and it was also the creature that opened that portal.”

Aiden seemed to have a little revelation as he remembered the smile that was on the creature’s face.

“But, was it even a monster? Did a monster take over his mind or something?” Aiden asked as he truly believed that a monster couldn’t be that smart.

However, the Lumithar that was in front of Aiden, clicked her tone when hearing Aiden say that. She seemed either frustrated or annoyed, Aiden wasn’t sure at the moment.

“You’re simply ignorant, some monsters are much more intelligent than you, humans.”

Aiden now realized that she had clicked her tongue out of spite of what he had said. But, to be completely honest, Aiden couldn’t care less… at least he had his response.

“Oh, um, alright sorry then… and thank you for your response! I don’t have any other questions, sorry if that made you mad once again” Aiden uttered with a polite tone.

He made sure that he wouldn’t anger a Lumithar since he didn’t know what would happen if he did.

‘I wonder what her higher-ups want from me,’ Aiden pondered, unable to find an answer at the moment.

He was completely in the dark and it was something that he hated deeply. He loved being in control, knowing everything about his surroundings. That was something that he wanted to have, even if it was really hard considering everything that had happened to him.

“Don’t worry, you’re just an ignorant little human. Alright, I’ll tell you why I was sent here,” she said, wanting to see the reaction that he would be having.

Aiden didn’t seem scared at the moment. In fact, he was smiling, almost excited about what she would be saying.

The purple-skinned girl found it quite weird, however, she didn’t comment on it as she continued talking, not even mentioning it.

“It’s quite simple actually, they want to know if you want this trial objective to change, making this whole trial a lot shorter. It would also be a lot less complicate, well… that depends actually,” she said, leaving Aiden to ponder about what would be the trial objective.

‘Changing the trial objective? They can do that?!’ Aiden thought, realizing that it would make sense for them to have access to the trial objectives and bosses.

“And what would be the new trial objective? Would it still require me to open a shop?” Aiden asked.

There was still the smile on the Lumithar’s face, as she replied. “No, you won’t need to, and as I said the whole trial could finish in a few minutes if you were to accept.”

Aiden furrowed his brows as he still ignored what would be the new Trial Objective.

“Can’t you tell me what would be the new Trial Objective?” Aiden asked, hoping that she could since it would make his decision a lot easier.

However, this time the Lumithar even giggled, seeing how Aiden was struggling to make a decision about what he needed to do.

“No, I can’t. Because… well, it wouldn’t be fun anymore if I told you,” she said as she continued to laugh loudly.

Even while laughing, Aiden had no choice but to have his eyes drawn to her whole body.

But, he quickly dismissed those useless thoughts as he was in the middle of making a really important decision.

‘But, what would be the new objective?’ Aiden pondered deeply.

He literally had no ideas at the moment.

Would he need to kill monsters or maybe kill someone?

There were so many possibilities that it would be impossible to figure out. However, from how she had laughed, Aiden had understood that it was the whole point, he was supposed to agree if he had the balls to do so.

In fact, the higher-ups who had asked that girl to come and say that to him must have thought that he would accept instantly since it would make him stronger in a shorter time.

“Can’t you give me a hint?” Aiden asked, hoping for some sort of help one last time.

If she didn’t say anything, then Aiden would be accepted for the sole reason that he would take less time. Also, she had said that it might be easier, but she didn’t seem very confident about that.

Nonetheless, Aiden wasn’t someone who was scared of difficulty. It didn’t matter if it was the hardest thing in the world… as long as he was getting stronger by the end of it, he would do it… every single time.

“I guess I can give you a small one, it would require you to fight against someone much stronger than you,” she said as she kept that beautiful smile on her face.

‘Fight someone? So, it’s not a monster, huh?’ Aiden thought as it gave him a little idea of what the Trial Objective would be about.

‘The person, I’ll need to fight will also be much stronger than me…’ Aiden pondered as suddenly he was almost sure of what he would need to do.

He would need to fight against the director of the Magic Academy and win.

“Seems like you figured a part of the new Trial, ahaha!” She exclaimed. “So… do you accept or do you refuse because you’re too scared.”

“I told you earlier, I’m not scared. Change my Trial Objective, I don’t mind… I’ll win against anybody,” Aiden muttered as he knew that it would require him to actually become stronger in magic.

“Also, I can use my assassin skills, right?” Aiden asked as he knew that normally he wouldn’t have been able to as the trial progressed.

“Yes, you can, or else… it wouldn’t be a Trial that you would be able to achieve.”

Aiden nodded in understanding, already preparing what he would be doing next.

‘I’ll need to tell him that we’re changing plans completely once again. I wonder how he’s going to react,’ Aiden thought, already scheming the assassination of David in his mind.

He would make sure that it would be perfect.
