Chapter 262 262 - Talent

'Why is everyone looking at me like that?'

It seemed that what he had just achieved by putting his hand in the middle of that small platform interested a lot of people as they all had shocked faces.

'Is this thing really that big of a deal?'

Aiden wasn't sure what was happening as he simply waited for the girl on the other side of the counter to answer her.

"It seems that there was an error with the device, we will try once again, please remove your hand."

Aiden didn't find any problems with what she had just said as he simply removed it from the device waiting for her to allow him to do it once again.

'Yeah, there was probably a malfunction with the device,' the lady thought.

It had to be since there was no way that the man in front of her had access to all of the affinities.

Then, a few moments later, as she had a completely new device from her desk, it seemed that she was ready for Aiden to pass the test once again.

"Can't they accelerate, there's only five minutes left."

Many people who were waiting for Aiden to finish his registration for the entrance exam seemed annoyed that it was taking him so long to have his information sorted out since they were on the brink of not being able to join the Magic Academy.

"Alright, go ahead and put your hand in the middle of the device."

Then, the exact same scene as earlier happened once again as there were all sorts of colours being emitted from the small platform.

The lady who was on the other side of the counter decided that she would be writing down the word "unknown" considering his affinity since she hadn't been able to guess what it was.

However, she was sure of one thing, the man in front of her was extremely special, special enough that maybe some teachers of the academy might be interested in him.

Actually, there was a big chance of that happening.

"Alright, you're all set, please go up the stairs they will show you where you need to go for the first part of the entrance exam."

Aiden nodded as he quickly went up the stairs he kept hearing a faint voice coming from behind him.

"Hey, you little son of a bitch, why didn't you tell me that you were special?"

However, as Aiden heard that, he didn't know what to answer her as he had no idea that he had any sort of talent when it came to magic.

"Well, I didn't tell you because I didn't know."

But, that answer didn't seem to be enough to convince the short-haired girl that he really knew nothing.

'Wait, maybe he comes from a renowned family?'

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Aiden Nightshade, you?"

Aiden didn't mind knowing the name of a single person inside the academy as maybe it would help him in the long run.

However, he knew that his time in the academy was counted as he would only be able to spend a single month inside of it or else that would spell trouble for him since he would be failing the trial and as a result die.

So, actually, it was a little bit more than trouble.

"I'm Evelynn."

However, it was clear that there was something else on her mind as she had answered that without even looking at Aiden.

It seemed that she was in her own world.

'Nightshade? Nightshade? Why have I never heard that once in my life?'

It seemed that Evelynn was confused regarding that she had never heard this last name, it was weird since she was quite knowledgeable about the world in general.

Then, as they were about to continue their conversation, the person who had been shouting earlier about the time left before the end of the registration came up to Aiden with a big smile on her face.

"Please follow, I'll be guiding you toward the waiting area."

While saying that, she subtly glanced at Evelynn who was right beside him, however, she seemed to ignore her as her eyes instantly shifted back to Aiden's face.

Then, both Aiden and Evelynn, followed the lady toward the waiting area while observing what the inside of this academy looked like.

'Woah, this place is old.'

That was the only thought that came to Aiden's mind as he roamed the corridors of this ancient building.

However, as he glanced at Evelynn's face, he noticed that she seemed mesmerized by her surroundings as she made sure to look at every single detail that was around them.

'I guess she's passionate about old stuff, huh.'n/.OvεlbIn

Then, Aiden came out of his thoughts as the lady who was guiding them once again spoke up.

"We arrived!"

"Young man, please follow me, I'll make sure that you have the best seat for this entrance exam."

As she said this, she glanced at Evelynn with a smile.

It was clear that she didn't care about Evelynn at all as she always looked at Aiden and made sure to put him in the best conditions.

Well, she wasn't stupid, she knew that the young man had a lot more potential than Evelynn since they hadn't even been able to identify what his affinity was.

Then, Aiden followed the lady, leaving Evelynn behind.

"Well, see you later," Aiden said as he quickly turned back toward the lady guiding him, not wanting to lose sight of her.

A few moments later, Aiden was now in the front row and he noticed that the people who were sitting right beside him all seemed extremely confident over what was about to happen as he couldn't see any signs of anxiousness from them.

'I guess they are all talented, huh?'

If Aiden had been guided here, it must have meant that those in the same row were as talented as him.

"From which family are you from?" one of the people sitting beside him asked.
