The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 293 293 - Spar

"Well, this one was a little better, at least," Aiden mumbled to himself as he walked out of the classroom.

He learned a few things regarding affinities and their rarity and it seemed like the director of the Magic Academy hadn't lied about those things.

It seemed like both Space and Death affinities were part of the rarest affinities that exist.

In that class, the teacher also talked about an affinity that was on the same level of rarity as Death and Space, and without much surprise, it was the complete opposite of Death... Life.

Those three affinities were the rarest that there was in this new world in which Aiden had been thrown into and he was lucky enough to have the possibility to learn all three. 

However, for the time being, he would only concentrate on two affinities just like the Director of the Academy recommended.

'It's not like I know better than someone like him who has so much experience with magic,' Aiden thought as he continued to walk through the hallways of the academy.

He noticed that some people were giving him some weird looks, those people who were looking at him weirdly had probably learned some rumors about him.

'The Space Affinity course is tomorrow, so I can go see the Director now.'

Right as he thought that, Aiden quickly guided himself toward the exit of the Magic Academy and started heading toward the mountains.

He was heading toward his training camp, however, as much as it was a weird thing to say, it wasn't 'his' training camp.

Aiden had to train the director academy, after all.

Then, as he spotted the small cabin where he had discussed with the director yesterday, somebody came out of the building.

"I heard some rumors, you have a fight planned tomorrow?" The director of the Magic Academy asked, not surprised in the least that Aiden had gotten in trouble.

He knew that all talented people would attract the hate of others and this was only the start of a long and harsh path.

But, if Aiden wasn't able to deal with it then he didn't even deserve to be the director's student or apprentice/teacher.

"I guess I do, huh?" Aiden replied, truly not caring about it.

He wasn't worried in the least about the fight tomorrow, in fact, he had just learned from the director that it would be happening tomorrow since that beast girl hadn't told him yet.

"Do you want some help?" The director asked as he didn't want to lose face.

He had just gotten Aiden as his disciple, so he didn't want him to lose. It still wouldn't change anything about the director teaching him, however, many would start talking about his decisions regarding his apprentice.

"No, I will win without any problem," Aiden replied with a lot of confidence in his voice.

It was clear that the beast girl that he had seen earlier today didn't seem to be a threat to Aiden's mind, because if it came to it he would simply start using his assassination skills.

"Are you sure? Can you win only with your spells, are you sure of that?" The director asked already knowing the answer to that question.

There was no way that someone who had just learned how to use magic would be able to be someone with a lot of experience.

Sure, Aiden was really talented, but that didn't mean much, especially against a student who had been admitted to the Magic Academy before the entrance exam.

Being admitted without entering the entrance was proof that the student who had demanded a duel against Aiden was talented, really talented.

"Well, with only magic… there's a chance that I will lose but if I can use my other skills, then there's no way that I will lose," Aiden replied still full of confidence.

He had never thought once in his mind that he would be losing against someone else. The only person that he would accept losing against would be the founding families or the Lumithars, those who controlled the precious system that Aiden had access to.

'Should I take a chance and not teach him anything for that fight tomorrow?' The director thought, unsure of what he needed to do.

However, he quickly decided against it as he knew that it wasn't in his best interest. But, the way in which he was going to teach Aiden would be different from how most teachers would approach the task.

"Then, what do you say that we spar? You can use both your skills with that dagger of yours and the spells that you learned. As for myself, well I'll only use magic and try to defend against you… what do you say?" The director asked as he knew that Aiden would be interested right away in what he was proposing.

Aiden, hearing that, was currently thinking if it was a good idea to fight against him. For the moment, he couldn't see any negatives, however, he still decided to be careful thinking about all the possible things that could happen.

'If I fight against him, should I use [Mind of an Assassin] or not?' Aiden thought as he knew that the skill he had just named was his strongest and could potentially turn a fight around.

Aiden knew that the director was strong as he could feel some danger from him just like he felt when looking at the Nightshade's family Patriarch.

The feeling of danger was a lot smaller when looking at the director, however, Aiden thought that it would certainly be good practice for the future.

'Well, I'll see how it goes, I might use it,' Aiden thought.

"Sure, let's spar. How do you want to proceed?" Aiden asked, wondering why the director was making such a surprised face.

'Well, that young man is confident. I'll tell you that much, he didn't even hesitate that much to spar me,' the director thought, sort of shocked by this behavior.
