Chapter 270 270 - Too Talented

Chapter 270 270 - Too Talented

"Alright, now that the first part of this entrance exam is finished, please all follow me," Lady Sophia said, as she slowly started heading back inside of the academy.

Aiden followed without a care in the world as he knew that this next part wouldn't change anything to him.

He knew that he had a lot of innate talent, however, he still wondered how they were going to test innate talent.

Would it be done by looking at someone's core rank?

'Um, probably not or else they would have refused people. It's probably based on something else,' Aiden thought as he remembered that he hadn't seen anyone get refused the opportunity to participate in the entrance exam.

This meant that it wouldn't be based on someone's affinity nor on the rank of his core.

'Maybe they'll ask us to learn something.'

However, all of Aiden's guesses literally didn't matter one bit as he continued walking forward toward the next part of the exam.

'I guess, I'll see what the challenge would be soon.'

***

A few minutes later, Aiden and the rest of the group which hadn't been eliminated seemed to be somewhat confused by the place which Sophia had guided them to.

'A library? How are we going to test our talent here?' Aiden thought as he truly hadn't expected something like this.

'Will Sophia test how fast we can read?' Aiden thought as he giggled at his own joke.

He knew that such a thing wouldn't happen, but still, he couldn't grasp why he was stuck in this place.

"Alright, so all of you must be wondering about what we're doing here, right?" Lady Sophia asked as she glanced around.

Aiden and most of the others nodded their head showing that they had no idea, however, Aiden noticed that those whom he had been seated next to earlier seemed to know about this whole situation.

It was as if they had gotten information beforehand.

To be honest, Aiden wouldn't be surprised if that were to happen since their families can probably influence the academy a little since they are so powerful.

But those were simply Aiden's assumptions as he didn't know if that was actually the case or not.

Maybe the Magic Academy was strong enough that no one would be able to rival them.

Aiden knew that there were probably strong individuals in this place, however, he couldn't imagine an institution rivalled with powers from people who had a lot of money and from people who were really strong.

He simply didn't see that happening.

"Well, I will explain what is happening."

"Basically, I will all give you the same book and those who learn how to use the spell that's inside of it will reach the next part of the entrance exam. So, do your best," she said as multiple books started appearing out of nowhere in the hands of everyone in the room.

However, there was one thing which was confusing Aiden deeply.

'How can we all learn the same spell, don't we all have different affinities?' 

He thought a little more about it, extremely confused. 

However, he soon realized that it didn't matter as the person giving this trial had probably thought about such a thing beforehand.

Then, as he took the book in his hands, he started looking at it with great care, remembering every single detail.

'The Universal Spell? Weird name,' Aiden thought.

If it was universal why did no one have heard of it yet, or rather why had no one learnt it yet?

It didn't seem very universal from Aiden's point of view.

'Well, who cares let's see what's inside,' Aiden thought as he opened the book making sure that he wouldn't be ripping any pages while doing so.

Seeing the size of that book, Aiden expected that it would take him a really long time to read this whole thing.

'Alright, it's universal because any affinity can use it, makes sense.'

'But I don't care about that, what's the point of learning this spell, what does it do?' Aiden thought as he wanted to figure out what this spell would do.

'It lets us create whatever we want, what sort of vague description is this?'

What did the word create even mean in that sentence, like create full-on objects, Aiden's confusion simply kept rising as he noticed that those around him continued their reading seemingly immersed in it.

Then, as he turned the 10th page, talking about some of the skill uses, he heard a beeping sound inside his mind.

*BEEP*

'Wait don't tell me that I've already learnt it, haha,' Aiden thought as he laughed when he saw that it actually was the case.

He had only read ten pages about some spells which he hadn't learned before and he had already acquired the abilities to use it.

'Man, this <Eye of Truth> skill is simply crazy, how overpowered can this thing even get?' Aiden thought with a smile.

He was happy that he had this skill with him for this trial since it would simplify a lot of things for the month that was to come.

'Well, I guess I'll tell Lady Sophia that I comprehended it,' Aiden thought as he slowly stood up with the book completely closed in his hands.

Lady Sophia who wasn't too far from him, raised her eyebrows a little confused as to why Aiden would be standing up when literally every second counted.

'Does he need to take a break? No, there's no way,' Sophia thought, having no idea of what was currently happening.

Seeing that he was coming in her direction, she simply teleported him with a small movement of her hand.

"What do you need?" She asked with an authoritative tone, making it known that she was quite displeased with Aiden's actions.

She knew that he was talented but if continued acting this way, giving up halfway through the challenge then she wouldn't be accepting him into the academy.

"Well, I finished learning it already," Aiden whispered as he didn't want others to hear him.

"You did what!" Sophia shouted out of pure surprise.
