The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 266 266 - Training, Worth?

The real problem was that Aiden was also part of those people, he knew that he didn't have a lot of chances at entering the academy.

Sure, he had a good core or whatever that meant, and he also had a lot of affinities, but he had no idea how to utilize them which was why he wanted to enter the academy, to learn.

However, it seemed that it wasn't a viable option at all since most people here were clearly acquainted with magic in general.

If the first thing that they asked to join the academy was to test their accuracy when launching spells then Aiden simply couldn't understand what would be happening.

However, Aiden had a plan to pass those tests, but there was just a small problem he didn't know if Sophia would be accepting his method.

Because if he couldn't figure out how that magic thing worked, he decided that he would clear the challenges without using magic.

That was his plan.

He would be trying his best to observe and see how others did, however, if that failed he would be resorting to the solution which he had just mentioned.

Who knows maybe Sophia would be impressed by his performance or something.

After all, there were probably not a lot of people in the Magic City who could use weapons as skillfully as Aiden, that was simply a fact.

Maybe he would be able to interest some of the teachers who would be watching the entrance exam, Aiden still wasn't and honestly, he hoped that this would be the case.

'Maybe they will be interested in that rather than magic.'

Maybe it wouldn't be the case, Aiden honestly didn't know.

"The order in which people will participate is going to be in alphabetical order," said Lady Sophia as she seemed impatient to see everyone participate.

"The person who will be participating in the chapter will be Allen. Is anyone here named Allen?" she continued observing the crowd in search of someone who had raised his hand.

Then, as her eyes kept scanning the crowd in front of her, she finally noticed someone who had his hand raised.

Seeing him, she didn't lose any time as she teleported him right in front of him.

"Alright, now that we found him, let's start this entrance exam!"

She said that with a smile on her face as she knew that the future students had probably noticed it, they were simply outside and there were no indications of there being a trial which was extremely weird.

However, Aiden didn't seem to care one bit as he knew that she would probably make the challenge basically appear out of nowhere. He remembered the scene with the ramparts earlier today, so he knew that everything was possible if she wanted to do so.

If a guard had been able to do such things, he couldn't imagine what someone who was part of the Magic Academy would be able to do.

Just from his instincts, Aiden had known that the guard from earlier who had been named Jack hadn't been powerful at all.

However, this person who was called Sophia had some skills he could feel it.

He knew that there weren't skills related to close combat, nonetheless, he still felt some amount of danger regarding her which clearly indicated that she wasn't someone random whose purpose was to simply guide the students, there was simply no way that this would be it.

Aiden knew that there was something more about her, however, he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was yet. To be able to know about her skills, he would need to see her fight that was what he had in mind.

He knew that from simply looking at her, he wouldn't be able to deduce anything since her body wasn't revealing any information contrary to what he had been used to on Earth.

Then, as Aiden thought of all those things, he saw that there was something happening around him, he felt some kind of energy which started to influence everything that was around him.

The environment was slowly starting to change as Aiden saw what seemed to be small targets slowly getting placed in the air.

'I guess this will be the challenge, huh. I wonder why no one is able to see all those things?' Aiden thought as no one seemed able to see any of the targets which were appearing in their field of view.

But, then he remembered the challenge that he had gone through to get access to those eyes of his, the eyes which were basically able to see through illusions.

'Wait, maybe those eyes can analyze the magic of people here since it's not considered skills,' he thought as it seemed to make sense.

Maybe his eyes would be able to give him information about the spells that people would be using and honestly, if that happened then Aiden's job in this world would be a lot more easier.

'Still, my eyes didn't show anything earlier with the wall opening right in front of my eyes.'

However, he dismissed that last thought as he wanted what would happen in the future, he would be able to have a definitive answer soon enough.

Then, the targets which had probably been hidden by some sort of hidden energy slowly but surely started appearing for everyone to see as Aiden heard some gasps of pure surprise.

'I guess most of them, couldn't see through the illusion that they set up,' Aiden thought as he noticed that the people he had been seated next to earlier didn't seem to have any reaction as if all of this was completely normal for them.

'I guess they noticed it just like I did, huh.'

He wasn't that surprising but still, it made Aiden realize that maybe he wasn't that special.

If people were able to achieve this skill without the training that he had gone through, maybe he could have gained it in this world either way.

This made him doubt about the training that he had went through because of Melinda.

Had it really been worth it?
