The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 294 294 - Start of the fight

The director thought that it would have taken a few minutes for Aiden to make his choice. However, that wasn't the case at all, as Aiden had probably noticed that this whole sparring idea was a really good idea for him to get stronger.

"Are you sure about your choice, I can just teach you normally if you're not confident."

"No, no, it's fine. In fact, this is a very good idea, I hope that I will be able to learn a lot from you, mister," Aiden replied with a little bit of politeness.

He knew that this fight would make him gain a lot of experience about what it's like to fight against stronger opponents, and Aiden wouldn't miss the opportunity to get stronger for nothing in the world.

"Then, take my arm, I will guide you toward the fighting area," the director said as he held his arm forward.

While doing so, he prepared himself to teleport and as soon as he felt Aiden holding him, he activated his spell, teleporting both Aiden and himself.

As soon as Aiden opened his eyes again, he had to admit that he had no idea where he was at the moment.

He observed his surroundings and couldn't help but be extremely confused everywhere he looked. It seemed that the director had teleported him into what seemed to be one giant Colosseum.

The stands were grand and big, there seemed to be enough place for at least 10,000 people to look down in the arena in which Aiden currently was.

It was quite an interesting feeling, all things considered.

"This is where you'll be fighting tomorrow, this is where most duels take place and since yours will be an important one, it will take place in this place.

"Do you like it? Impressed?" The director asked as he remembered that Aiden had seen an even bigger place during the entrance exam.

Nonetheless, he had to feel impressed by the sheer size of this place.

"Yeah, it's certainly nice, but won't people see us in this place, it seems to be in the open," Aiden asked, unsure if fighting was the director's best idea.

"Meh, even if they see us, nothing will happen, don't worry about such things."

Then, the director put a big smile on his face as he knew that the fight between him and that mysterious young man would soon be starting.

He had to admit that he was still wondering about Aiden's dagger skills and if he had hidden anything worth noting during the entrance exam.

"Ready?" The director asked as he looked directly into Aiden's eyes, who was currently a few meters away from him.

"Are you sure that you don't want to take some distance from me?" Aiden asked, as he didn't think that this was going to be fair at all if they were sitting so close to one another.

However, it seemed the director was incredibly confident in his victory from what he responded.

"Don't worry about those things, there's no way that you will win this fight either way. This is simply to make you better at fighting and general. I, also, want to see your true power," the director added at the end, as he knew that the strength that Aiden had shown in the entrance exam wasn't all there was to him.

Hearing him being so sure of his victory made Aiden grit his teeth as he knew that there was a chance that he would be winning this fight. There was literally not a single doubt in his mind that he could win.

'You'll see what happens when you act so arrogantly against me,' Aiden thought as a beeping sound resounded in his mind.

[Mind of an Assassin activated.]

Seeing that message appear in front of him, Aiden only flashed a smile toward the director.

'Let's see what he will do now,' Aiden thought as he started releasing that red aura from around him.

Right in front of him, there was a shadow that was currently analyzing all possible scenarios and deciding the best one out of all of them.

In most scenarios, Aiden lost quickly because he was surprised by the spells used by the director. However, as time passed, the shadow of himself was starting to get better and better at analyzing the moves made by the director.

It was sort of acting like an artificial intelligence, learning from all its mistakes, getting feedback from when he lost. Aiden had to admit that he loved watching this sort of thing, it was truly mesmerizing.

"I'm ready!" Aiden shouted as the shadow kept losing again and again, trying to figure out the best way to win this fight.

'Whatever, I'll just lose some time before the skill finds how I can beat him,' Aiden thought as he slowly moved away from the director instead of getting closer.

'While I can, let's practice some of the spells that I learned,' he thought, not wanting to lose a single moment related to this opportunity.

Right after having that thought, Aiden started launching all sorts of different spells like the icicle, the fireball, or even the mud ball.

He didn't care what it was as long as it would make the director lose some time.

'What is he shooting me all those weak skills? All this talk for this?' The director thought actually disappointed by everything that he was witnessing at the moment.

'I guess I'll have to force him in actually using some good skills,' the director, clearly not satisfied with Aiden's performance at the moment.

He knew that there was a lot of strength hidden in that boy in front of him and from what he could feel from that red aura around him, he was dangerous.

In fact, he was a lot more dangerous than what he had expected.

He could feel a lot of danger from Aiden, however, it wasn't the same danger that he felt with other people. It was more related to the fact that if he lost his focus for a single second, then he would lose.

Aiden certainly wasn't stronger than him, however, if the director made even the slightest mistake then he would die right away without having a single chance to fight back.

That was the type of opponent Aiden was, he was an assassin ready to strike at any moment.

'Whatever enough thinking, let's pressure him a little,' the director thought as he started launching multiple spells toward Aiden.
