Reincarnated With The Undefeated System

Chapter 189 Wrong Thinking.

It was all part of the plan, this was how he planned on approaching the boy...there was a reason for it. Number one, he doesn't even know the boy's name, so calling him Oliver wasn't a mistake.

He did it on purpose, and as said, there was a reason for it. The boy was still glancing at him with that expression on his face, and this time, he spoke out,

"I'm not Oliver".

"Oh! You look like a certain guy I know that is named Oliver, so I thought you were him. I and this guy haven't been in touch for a while now, and I've been noticing you for some time now. I was thinking you were him, but wasn't sure,

So I decided to approach you today to confirm, and I've confirmed".

..First of all, he dropped a big lie, he said he and Oliver hadn't been in touch for a while now, but they do see each other at school almost everyday.

And again, he didn't even bother to ask the boy his real name. The boy said he wasn't Oliver, he didn't bother to ask him, 'What's your name then?'.

What does that show? He doesn't care about knowing his name or age...

He doesn't even want to know if he possesses an affinity or not. Does he have the mana core in him? He doesn't care. His main mission was Lucia, he only needed to get some information from him, that's why he approached him.

And Aiden had already achieved something, he's been able to approach the boy successfully, you see that tactic? All that remains now was for him to get the information he needed.

Aiden was still standing in front of the boy when the boy began glancing at him somehow...like, there was a kind of confused expression on his face.

..Aiden noticed this, and fear gripped him a little.

'Is the boy contemplating if I'm the son of Ethan Dankworth or not?'. Aiden questioned himself in his thought.

Yes, his number one fear, for the boy not to recognize him as Aiden Dankworth, that would ruin everything. But with the way the boy was glancing at him right now, seems like he's recognized something.

Maybe he's noticed that this person looks like Aiden Dankworth, but he wasn't sure...so he was trying to confirm. You know, not everyone in the Tuvalon Kingdom knew what the faces of Hazel and Aiden looks like.

Yeah, they knew Ethan Dankworth had kids, but they didn't know what their faces looks like...

But some knew what their faces looks like, those that were familiar with them, those that had seen them before. So this boy could be among those that knew what their faces looks like.

And now, he was trying to confirm if this was really Aiden Dankworth...the amount of fear that gripped Aiden increased the moment he thought about this.

..But there was nothing for Aiden to be afraid of, the boy didn't recognize him as Aiden Dankworth.

He didn't care about Aiden Dankworth though it was Aiden Dankworth standing in front of him right now. He was glancing at him with a confused expression due to another reason.

Where did he suddenly come from? His face doesn't seem familiar at all, was he a student of this academy? Yes, these were the questions running through the boy's mind.

According to what he was seeing, Aiden was definitely his age mate, so how come he hasn't been seeing him in his classroom or the other class that was at the same level of learning as his class?

Or was it that Aiden had been attending this academy for a while now and was in the other class...but the problem was he hadn't been noticing him?

..Yes, this was exactly what happened to Lucia when she noticed him, she kept contemplating if he was a student of this academy.

But now, she's confirmed he wasn't a student of this academy. Now, the same thing was happening to the boy...

This was the reason why he was glancing at Aiden with a confused facial expression, his face was unfamiliar to him. He wasn't glancing at him 'cause he was trying to confirm if he was Aiden Dankworth or not...no.

He didn't know if Aiden was a student of this academy or not, so he planned on asking him...issues arising.

As for Aiden, he was still a little terrified the boy was trying to recognize if he was Aiden Dankworth or not.

"Are you a student of this academy?". The boy inquired of Aiden.

'Why is he asking this?'. That was the thought that ran through Aiden's mind the moment the boy asked him the question.

Maybe the boy has known he was Aiden Dankworth, but he hadn't been seeing him in this academy, he wasn't a student of this academy, so he wanted to confirm something.

..All these were Aiden's thinking...but his thinking was wrong.

Now, since these were Aiden's thoughts, he needed to give the boy a well-thought-out answer, lying to him would be bad. Definitely, the boy hasn't been seeing him in this academy, so he'd easily discern Aiden was telling a lie if he tells him the wrong thing.

"I'm not a student of this academy, but I've been visiting for some time now. I haven't been visiting for fun, I was actually visiting to meet someone, I attend another academy. And while visiting, I've been noticing you,

And as I said, you resemble someone that is named Oliver".

The moment Aiden was done speaking, the boy began nodding his head, then he voiced out,

"No wonder, I know your face wasn't familiar, I haven't been seeing you in this academy. I was confused, so I decided to ask".

"So that's the only reason why you asked that question?". Aiden inquired of the boy, he wanted to confirm something.

"Yes, since you said I resembled someone that is named Oliver, I was wondering if you were a student of this academy to notice it 'cause I haven't been seeing you in this academy, your face doesn't look familiar at all,

And I know we are age mates. So if you're a student of this academy, you should be in this class or the next class that is at the same level of learning as this class,

Or am I wrong with the age mate stuff? Let me confirm, how old are you?".

"I'm 17 years old". Aiden responded.

"You see? We are age mates exactly, I'm 17 years old as well". The boy voiced out.

..And Aiden has confirmed his age without checking out his status, he was 17 years old just as he was expecting.

"We are age mates, so just as I said before, if you were a student of this academy, we should be in the same class or you'd be in the next class. That's what I wanted to confirm, if you're a student of this academy".

..Aiden's mind relaxed at that moment, his thinking was wrong all this while...the boy didn't recognize him as Aiden Dankworth.

Thank goodness, he couldn't be happier, but he didn't show it in his facial expression. Now, it was about time to move to the next plan, finding out the kind of relationship that existed between him and Lucia.

He's been able to approach the boy successfully and even begin a conversation with him, it was about time to dive into the main plan.

And as usual, he has to do this tactfully, he has to get the information he needed without the guy suspecting...

"So, how about the girl you're betrothed to, how is she doing?". Aiden inquired of the boy.

..You see that? You see that tactic? You see how he came up with the question?

The boy was glancing at him with a confused expression on his face the moment he asked that question, and the utterance that flowed out of his mouth was,

"The girl I'm betrothed to?".

He was really confused...

"Yes, the girl you're close to, the one you're betrothed to". Aiden voiced out once again.

The boy was still glancing at him with that confused expression on his face, and Aiden was even getting confused himself. Wasn't he close to any girl? Or has he forgotten?

He does go home with Lucia most of the time, doesn't he remember? The confused expression began vanishing from the boy's face slowly until it vanished completely, then he voiced out,

"Ohh, Lucia".

..Exactly, Lucia, he had finally remembered, which gladdened Aiden's heart.

But Aiden was glancing at the boy like he didn't know her name was Lucia...that might lead to suspicion.

"Is it Lucia you're speaking of?". The boy inquired of Aiden tapping his right shoulder a little.

"I don't know her name". Aiden responded.

"Oh, yes, you shouldn't know her name".

..Was that a trap or something?

"Lucia is the girl I'm closest to currently, so she should be the one you're referring to". The boy uttered once again.

And all Aiden did was nod his head.
