The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 261 261 - Gold Ranked Core

"Alright, so first name, last name, affinity, and core rank."

Those were the first words that he had been asked by simply approaching the counter and he knew only half the answers to those things.

'Alright, so how can I lie my way out of this.'

That was the only thing that Aiden was trying to figure out as he had no idea about his core rank and he had no idea what his affinity was.

He didn't know what a core was as he hadn't gotten the time to ask the other girl about it.

"My name is Aiden Nightshade and are you simply going to trust my words about the other things, shouldn't you be testing me right now," Aiden asked, proud of what he had just said.

He knew that what he had just mustered made a lot of sense since he was right, why weren't they testing them and simply asking them?

Anyone would be able to lie if they proceeded this way.

"Oh, don't worry we will test you. We just wanted to know what to expect when testing you," said the person who was on the other side of the counter.

She had just finished writing Aiden's name when she got some weird device from the other side of the desk.

It looked a little bit like the metallic platform from earlier, however, it was clear that there were some changes to it.

It wasn't metallic anymore and it was also a little bigger than earlier, nonetheless, Aiden didn't ask any questions as she let the person in front of him explain what he would have to do.

"Here just put your end there and it will tell us all that we need to know about you."

'All that you need to know?' Aiden thought, somewhat worried about this device as he had no idea what sort of information they would be getting.

Was there a chance that they would be learning about the fact that he wasn't from this world?

'Um, probably, and even if they did. The system would probably interfere just like last time, right?' He thought as he put down his hand in the middle of the device waiting for it to activate.

Then, he saw the same blue light coming out of it and once again Aiden had a feeling based on the colour that it was mana since that would make the most sense here.

Right after he put his hand in the middle of the device, some golden light started emitting from it and as it did so, Aiden noticed that the eyes of the person behind the counter seemed to gain in size as she seemed extremely shocked by what she was seeing.

"There's no way."

"Gold Rank?"

"Is there really a Gold Core participating in the entrance exam? Why wasn't he accepted beforehand."

There were many people who were seeing this scene around Aiden and all of them seemed extremely shocked over what was currently happening which made a lot of sense.

It seemed that everyone who was close to Aiden and the golden light were extremely surprised by it.

'Gold Core? Gold Rank? Is that impressive?'

Those were the questions which entered Aiden's mind as he couldn't be sure, however, based on the words and sentences from those around him, he had a pretty good idea of its value.

"A-alright, you have a Gold Ranked Core, what about your affinity?" the person behind the counter said as she was extremely stressed about everything that she was saying.

After all, the person who was on the other side of the counter was big shot or at least someone who would become a big shot in the weeks and months or even years that were to come.

Then, the short-haired girl who had answered some of Aiden's questions was now going through the same test as him and from the looks of it, there seemed to be a silver colour coming out of it.

"Oh, a silver core, impressive," the lady on the other side of the counter said.

However, it was clear from the lack of reactions that it wasn't on the same level as a gold one since everyone had reacted heavily when they had seen such a thing.

Then, the short-haired girl couldn't help but be extremely frustrated by that man who was right beside her.

'How dare he steal the spotlight from me? Sunny, attack!' 

However, as she thought of that in her mind, the small creature which resembled a dog didn't move from her feet as he didn't seem to like the idea of attacking Aiden for no reason.

Well, there was a reason, but from the beast's perspective it was a stupid one, so he decided against following the order from her master.

Then, as all of this was happening, it was time for Aiden to be tested once again. But, this time, it was for his affinity.

The girl on the other side of the counter got another weird little platform from her desk as she handed it toward Aiden, making it clear that he would have to put his hand in the middle of this device once again.

"Put your hand in the middle, right there."

Then, right after she said that Aiden listened to her as he put his hand in the middle of the device.

"Alright, let's see if you have a rare affinity."

As she said this, it was clear that she had some hopes about it being a rare affinity as she had just seen the rank of his core.

However, when she saw the colours that the platform was emitting, she wasn't sure of the affinity that the person in front of her had.

There were too many colours to be able to identify the affinity that Aiden had, it was as if he had multiple affinities.

That was something which had happened in the past, someone getting a dual-affinity or even a triple-affinity, however, it looked as if Aiden had access to every single affinity that existed which made no sense.
