Chapter 272 272 - Disciple
Even if she didn't like what he had created, she couldn't help but be amazed by what he had just pulled off.
He had done it, he hadn't lied at all, he really had learned how to use this spell by not even completing the book.
However, there was still something that made her doubt.
'Maybe he learned it beforehand like those cheaters?' She thought, clearly talking about those who had learned the skill beforehand.
Those who had gotten such an advantage.
However, that didn't seem to be the case as Aiden seemed as equally surprised as her while holding the wand that was in his hand.
'Wait, how long can this creation even last?' Aiden thought as he kept moving it around as he had some difficulty believing that it had truly been him who had done such a thing.
"Sophia, how long does our creation?"
He wanted to know that detail as he knew that this skill which he had just learned could potentially be really interesting when opening his shop.
Imagine if he were to create as many items as he wanted, he would basically be making crazy amounts of money without the slightest problem.
"It depends, there's no set duration," she responded quite vaguely.
However, that was the truth, it really varied depending on the person.
Maybe it was obvious but it depended on the proficiency that someone reached with the skill.
So, maybe at the start, they would last for five minutes, but in the future, they might last hours.
Aiden hearing her respond like that simply nodded as he had deducted that he would be able to see by himself how much time this wand would be stay.
'Well, I guess that confirms that he hadn't learned it before,' Lady Sophia thought as she knew that someone who had learned this skill before wouldn't have asked such an obvious question.
It seemed that this wand had truly been his first creation.
This meant that the person who was in front of her truly had the talent needed to become a disciple.
However, she decided to wait until the end of the entrance exam to offer him such a status as she knew that most of the teachers in the academy liked seeing the most promising fight against one another.
"Alright let's go back to the library, make sure to act as if you still haven't learned that skill or else many people with notice you and your talent."
It seemed that Sophia was going out of her way to help Aiden as she didn't want him to be picked on by those brats who think they are better than the rest of the world.
She knew that those brats were garbage simply taking advantage of their family, there was a reason that they hadn't been accepted in the academy before the entrance exam, there was a reason why they were all participating.
They simply didn't compare to the most talented ones and that was simply a fact.
'Well, I'll follow her advice, it's not like I want to make enemies right away,' Aiden thought as he felt that Sophia had just grabbed his arm, probably preparing for the two of them to teleport back to the library.
This time since he was closer to her, he decided that he would be observing all of her movements with as much focus as he could muster.
But, once again, there was nothing. It was as if she hadn't used any mana or energy to make the two of them teleport which simply couldn't be true.
There had to be something that he was missing, there just had to be.
"Alright, make sure that you won't do such a thing again," Sophia said without any hesitation acting as if she had just been mad at him.
Aiden hearing that at first was somewhat confused, however, he quickly caught on to what she was doing as he replied, "I won't, sorry."
After saying that, Aiden simply sat back down to his earlier spot and he opened the book containing information about the skill.
Those entitled brats who weren't too far from him started giggling at this scene.
"See, what did I tell you? There was no way that he had learned it in fifteen minutes when we took hours," one of them said as if proud that they had learned at such a speed.
However, imagine their faces when they learned the truth about this whole thing, just imagine the look on their faces.
They probably won't believe it like Sophia, however, would that even matter?
The answer to that question was simple, it was a big fat no.
Then, Aiden continued reading this gigantic book which contained all the necessary information to learn the Universal Skill.
Also, he wasn't acting, he was truly reading every single sentence with attention as he knew that it would be useful for when he would be using it.
If he were to grasp more things about the spell, then his proficiency would increase at the same time.
There was no doubt about that part.
Sometime later, it seemed that most people around Aiden had finished reading the book and the information related to it.
However, not everyone was like Aiden grasping it right away, they needed to test some things out.
It was obvious that Aiden was a special case and that not many people could attain such rapidity when learning new stuff.
Sure, the system had helped greatly, however, he still had some merit related to him learning the spell in less than 10 minutes.
He had probably been the only person who had done so.
"Alright, you have two hours left to learn the spell or you will have failed to enter the Magic Academy," announced Sophia, seemingly wanting to put even more pressure on everyone who was present in the room.nove)lb-1n
She knew that some would crumble under that pressure which was exactly why she was acting this way.
She wanted to see who could reach great highs and those who simply couldn't, that was the aim of the entrance exam.
