Chapter 320 320 - Preparing the Assassination

As Aiden exited the portal to one of the Lumithar's Territories, multiple system messages appeared in front of him, and as usual they were accompanied by the usual beeping noise.

*BEEP*

[Your Trial Objective has changed.]

[There is no Boss Monster in this Trial.]

[Trial Objective: Kill the director of the Magic Academy.]

[The Rewards of this trial have also changed because of this.]

Aiden reading that message nodded as it made a lot of sense.

He knew that with the old Trial Objective, he would have been able to buy rewards in exchange for the Reputation Points that he would have accumulated. However, such a thing wouldn't be possible anymore since he had no use for those Reputations Points.

The only thing that he would need to do is... plan an assassination of the strongest person in the Magic Academy.

Simple, right?

[At the end of the Trial, you will get a catalog of rewards and you will be able to choose any reward that you want, three times.]

'Any rewards that I want?' Aiden thought as he wasn't sure if he would have been able to do that with the old Trial Objective since it would depend on his performance.

At least, this time, the only thing that mattered was killing someone, Aiden was used to doing this, and he had never failed before, so... he wouldn't fail this time either.

'I even have an advantage this time... he thinks, he's my disciple,' Aiden thought as a couple of different ideas popped inside his mind.

At first, he had thought of killing him in his sleep, just like all good assassins would do. However, he had an even better idea.

After dismissing all the system messages, there was still the little monster sitting in front of the portal, patiently. And it still didn't say the slightest, simply finding this whole thing funny as he had the same little smile on his face as earlier.

"Thank you," Aiden said.

To be quite frank, Aiden really liked this change since he would be doing something that he knew very well and that was a lot more simple than building a shop and selling stuff.

'Maybe I could make use of Garestsa?' Aiden thought, however, he wasn't sure that she would keep her word because it involved killing.

There were good chances that she wouldn't agree to doing something so barbaric. She was scared of being hurt, so Aiden truly couldn't imagine her helping him in killing someone.

It would be a better idea to let her watch from the sidelines without telling her anything. After all... she would be there when the execution would be taking place.

***

Aiden was flying back toward the small cabin of the Director of the Magic Academy, he was already thinking about what he would be saying to David... because it was going to be the second time that he changed his mind.

'He is going to accept just like that?' Aiden thought, unsure.

However, Aiden truly didn't care if he refused since his whole assassination plan didn't depend on that at all. His answer wouldn't change anything.

'I wonder how she's going to react when he dies in front of her?' Aiden thought.

Aiden was obviously not going to be murdering David as soon as he came back because he needed to make sure of some things.

There was a lot of planning involved, and it was clearly possible that Aiden would change his mind and do something completely different than what he currently has in mind.

Sure, it would be quite annoying since it would take a lot more time.

After thinking of all those things, Aiden was now getting closer to the training camp where he could both of his disciples currently training as hard as they possibly could.

He didn't waste any time as he dived down, making both Garestsa and David look his way... wondering why he was coming back empty-handed.

"You didn't find her?" David asked right away as he knew that Aiden was supposed to be coming back with a lot of different pages or books.

Alchemy wasn't simple, after all.

"I didn't," Aiden said as if it wasn't anything important. "Actually I have a change of heart, I won't be learning potion-making right now, I don't think it would be useful for my growth one bit."

The director seemed a little taken aback.

"Why didn't you want to open a shop at the end of the month? What changed?"

Aiden wasn't sure what to reply to that, but he decided to tell the truth, well... somewhat.

"I want to focus on gaining strength, I'll open the shop when I'm powerful enough," Aiden said, knowing that there was never enough power in life.

Someone could always become stronger, mentally, physically... it didn't matter, there would always be something where you could become better, that's just how life is.

"I see," David nodded. "Are you sure? I mean, I don't mind, but you might need to go back to class."

However, right as he said that Aiden shook his head as he knew that this wasn't an option. He needed to gain David's trust and the first step in doing that was spending as much time as possible close to him.

"No, I want to learn here, I won't be going inside the academy. We'll keep the same schedule, but you'll be the one teaching me everything," Aiden said.

'Seems like he truly figured out what he wanted, huh? I wonder what happened for him to have this change of heart again?' David thought, unsure why Aiden was doing yet another 360 out of nowhere.

"Alright, then I'll go get a couple of books for you to read while I keep doing that," David said as he teleported right away, before reappearing one moment later with a mountain of books.

"This should be enough to occupy you for a bit," he said as immediately started swinging his arms around like one crazy person.

He really was listening to Aiden's advice not stopping at all, going as fast as possible. The same thing couldn't be said for Garestsa who currently taking slowly and taking breaks when it seemed to hurt too much.

However, Aiden couldn't bother as he had no use for her anymore, she was as good as thrash in his eyes.

'It's not like she's going to help me,' Aiden thought for the exact same reasons as earlier.

"Alright, thanks," Aiden said as he got a little bit further with one of the books in his hands.

'Actually, those books might be useful if I can bring them back to Nova,' Aiden thought as he knew that it would make this whole thing a lot easier for him to learn all he needed about magic.

There was also the option of coming back, but if he succeeded in killing the director and people suddenly started pointing fingers at him, then it would be a lot of work to get back.

Aiden picked up the book in his hands and started to read it, or rather, he pretended to do so as his mind was currently imagining all sorts of different assassination plans.

'It's been a while since I've done this,' Aiden thought as most of his fights until had been direct fights, without him being able to prepare anything.
