Chapter 282 282 - Zombies, Wolves, Orcs

"I'm sorry about earlier," Aiden whispered to Anna's ear.

This caused her face which was already red from embarrassment to accentuate even more.

Anna seemed surprised that Aiden was now right beside her as she hadn't heard him at all.

This was obviously normal since Aiden had his passive skill which made such things possible.

Anna who just heard what she said had to admit that she was feeling bad as she knew that the way that she currently acting wasn't the nicest at all.

"T-There's no need to be, I don't know why I reacted so strongly earlier."

She seemed embarrassed by how she was acting since she remembered what she had said when Aiden had let her go and decided to let her live.

She remembered how she had complained to the director and had been ridiculed even more.

So, when she learned that Aiden was now the disciple of the director of the academy she got scared that he would use this opportunity to be banished from the academy.

However, there was one thing that she ignored, Aiden didn't even care about her.

She wasn't even worth mentioning in his eyes.

"So, um, about your relationship with the director... you won't say anything mean about me to him, right?" She asked as she was really worried about what he would be doing.

Aiden who heard that was somewhat confused as he hadn't even thought about what had happened with the two of them.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, I won't."

Anna was relieved as she bowed toward Aiden thanking him. The reason that she was now acting in a respectful manner with him was because of his position within the academy.

She knew that her father wouldn't be able to deal with the director of the academy which is why she acted as politely as she possibly could.

"So, are you trying to figure out what you're best at?" Aiden asked since Anna was in the file to do the Orientation Test.

"Yeah I am, I already did it in the past, but I just want to be sure."

Then, she murmured right after saying that, "It's probably the same for you."

However, that last part didn't reach Aiden's ears or else he would have had a good laugh out of that one.

After that little interaction between Aiden and Anna, the two of them only looked at one another as they advanced toward the place where they would be taking the test.

Aiden had to admit that the situation was a little awkward, however, there was one element which made the atmosphere a little lighter and that was... Evelynn's beast which was glued to Aiden's feet, following his every step.

'Is she really able to control it?' Aiden thought as he couldn't help but find this behaviour quite funny.

***

A few minutes later, it was finally time for Aiden to enter the Orientation trial as he left behind Evelynn and entered almost at the same time as Anna who had already gone in.

'I wonder what this test will look like,' Aiden thought as he stepped through what seemed to be a dark portal.

The portal that he just went through looked a lot like the ones that were on Nova for the tournament. However, the colours this time were clearly darker.

'I wonder how this thing will work?'

Aiden had the same questions appearing in his mind over and over again because he found it extremely weird that a test would be able to determine what he was the best at.

It simply didn't make much sense.

Then, as Aiden was entering into the dark portal, he heard a beeping noise.

*BEEP*

However, no matter how much he wanted to look at the message that had appeared, he hadn't been able to since everything was dark inside there.

He hoped that it wasn't too important as he slowly started advancing in this darkness wondering when he was going to be able to see again.

Then, as he continued taking a few steps forward, he gained his sight back as he noticed that there were an insane amount of monsters which weren't too far from him.

It looked like he would have to defeat a horde of monsters in this test and even if Aiden had wanted to, he wasn't able to count the amount of monsters that were in there.

There were simply too many to count.

Even if he had wanted to, he wouldn't have been able to.

'Do I need to defeat them?' Aiden thought as he had gotten literally zero information on how this thing worked.

'Well, I guess I don't have much of a choice.'

As he thought that, he dashed forward toward the monsters with his dagger in hand not even worried about failing.n-)0velb1n

The thought of losing to those monsters didn't even cross his mind as he continued to run forward.

He didn't even feel the need to assassinate them as he summoned a fireball in his hand firing it right away.

*BOOM*

Then he summoned another one and another one as he kept advancing.

A few explosions resounded in the realm of that black portal.

Right after firing those fireballs, Aiden finally close to all those monsters as he slashed the throat of the zombie that was right in front of him, before killing the wolf which was on his right.

Then, he saw that there was another zombie with a few orcs close to one another and he also dashed toward them not even hesitating for a single moment.

Right after killing them and raising his head, he noticed that there was something which was extremely weird about this whole thing as he saw a creature that he remembered from the very first trial that he had gone through.

He also remembered the zombies, the animals and the orcs, however, there was a monster which had truly marked him and that was the Boss Monster from the first trial, the Cyclops.
