The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 302 302 - An Exchange?

Then, as soon as the dagger grazed Garestsa's skin, Aiden couldn't move a single inch anymore. He was stuck in place and she seemed to be in the exact same situation.

Since he was the same person, the commentator or even the announcer was shocked by what he had just witnessed.

"Did you just see that, he almost killed him, but it seemed that someone just barely stopped Aiden from doing it," the commentator exclaimed, unsure about what had just happened.

Why had the two participants completely stopped moving?

'Just what is that energy? I can't fucking move,' Aiden thought frustrated as he could see some blood starting to leave Garestsa's neck.

Being so close to one another, Aiden took his chances as he looked at her with the smile that he had made at the start of the fight, looking at her as if he was about to kill her.

Garestsa, who had already been crying because of all this, seemed to have some sort of panic attack as her tail seemed to hide itself.

She truly looked like an animal who was scared of dying.

However, Aiden didn't care, she had gotten what she had deserved, she was the one who had started all this, after all.

It wasn't Aiden's fault that she was in such a situation at the moment.

"So, got anything to say, now?" Aiden asked.

He knew that this fight was done, he had won and she had lost. However, there was still a minor problem, Aiden had no idea what he had asked her to do if he won the fight, he hadn't cared about it, after all.

As if reading Aiden's mind, the announcer started talking, revealing who won and who had lost.

Everyone who had eyes already knew the winner of this fight, but he still needed to announce for everyone to know.

He had to make it official.

"The winner of this fight is Aiden Nightshade which means that Garestsa will be leaving the Magic Academy as of today."

'Leaving the academy? Did I really ask such a thing?' Aiden thought, admitting that it was sort of a cruel thing to ask. 

However, he couldn't really pity her since she had asked something that was also cruel.

If Aiden lost, he would have been forced to lose his discipleship which would have, at the same time, made this whole trial a lot more difficult.

Because as of right now, Aiden was still in his learning phase, he hadn't started to amass a lot of Reputation Points which was the only thing that mattered in this trial.

He was currently trying to learn as much as he could since he wouldn't be able to use his assassin skills after those months of preparation.

"Do you regret it, now?" Aiden asked as he could clearly see that the Magic Academy was something that she held dear.

It made him feel somewhat bad as he knew that this place really had no importance as he wasn't even from this world.

Nonetheless, it wasn't like he could change the result of this fight, maybe he could politely ask to remove that consequence, but then people would think that he was weak. 

They would think that he would remove all the consequences from the fights that he wins, and as a result, he would be getting all sorts of offers to partake in a duel against all sorts of people.

That was the last thing that Aiden wanted as he simply wanted to acquire as much knowledge about magic as he could since it would be extremely useful to him in the future when opening that shop.

"I-I do, please don't make leave the academy," Garestsa cried as she was still in the same position as earlier, not able to move a single muscle.

Aiden noticed this and was starting to get honestly pissed off as he could only move his eyes or his mouth, the rest of his body was completely frozen.

'It really is cruel, huh? Does she deserve it?' Aiden thought as he started remembering the conversation that he had gotten when she tried asking for a duel.

Aiden hadn't really cared about whatever she had demanded as he had asked what she cherished the most.

To be honest, that had been quite a dickhead move from Aiden.

'Should I ask to remove that consequence? But then…' Aiden thought as he knew that this was a huge debate.

He knew what the director of the Magic Academy would be telling him as Aiden had slowly but surely started to understand what he was like.

However, all those thoughts left his body as fell to the ground as that energy which had been holding him up completely disappeared and stopped supporting him and Garestsa.

It caused quite an awkward situation between Aiden and Garestsa as they landed one on top of the other.

Aiden because of the position that they were currently in was able to feel all sorts of different things on her body. He had to admit that since she was an animal, there were a lot of things that were completely different from a human.

However, there was still one thing that was the same, and that was the red face. Every single time that such a situation had happened to Aiden, the girl always had one hell of a red face as if truly embarrassed of what she had done.

The commentator who saw such a thing happen between the beast girl and Aiden didn't lose a single moment as he knew that it was the perfect time to ask some embarrassing questions to the two of them.

"Let's see what our winner of today has to say," he exclaimed as he slowly approached Aiden, who had managed to get off the beast girl albeit slowly.

"What did you think about your opponent today, did you think that she was strong or was she weaker than you thought?" The commentator asked.

That first question of his was clearly warm up as the rest of them would be a lot more interesting. He would be asking about the fighting style that Aiden had used since that was probably the only thing that the crowd and the teachers were currently thinking about.

"Well, she was alright, she was definitely not stronger than what I anticipated."

"What about her leaving the academy? Do you have something to add about that?" The announcer continued.

"Well, actually I was debating whether she should leave the academy, what does the public think?" Aiden said as he made the public shout without any single problem.

"Let her leave, she was the one who asked this in the first place, you just demolished her!" someone in the public said.

However, that wasn't the only opinion as a lot of different people continued shouting all sorts of different things.

"She deserves her place, change that decision of yours!"

The commentator hearing all this, thought of a new opportunity.

"Is there something that she could give you that would make you change that decision of yours?" The commentator asked with a big smile on his face.

He knew that there must be something that Aiden wanted, and since that beast girl seemed absolutely desperate, she would probably accept.
