Chapter 299 299 - Late?

"Is that really the first thing that you're asking me, after everything that happened?" The director asked as simply couldn't understand the mindset of the person that was right in front of him.

It was actually crazy how it held no importance toward his body.

David remembered seeing that Aiden had been a literal half-body, however, even when he had been in such a state, Aiden had still been on his own two feet barely standing up.

Just thinking about that, he had been extremely impressed by his disciple.

'Is that how he got so strong at such an age? By acting so recklessly,' he thought, unsure if it was a viable way to get stronger.

Honestly, learning more about the young man in front of him, the more he felt unsure about the training that he would have to go through to learn close combat.

He just hoped that he wouldn't die when going through those.

"Yes, was it a draw? Did I succeed or not?" Aiden repeated, which made David come out of his thoughts.

David simply couldn't believe what he was hearing anymore, why was he insisting?

Just what sort of person had he taken as a disciple?

Well, one thing was sure, Aiden was hard-working and would do everything that he was asked to do, the director of the Magic Academy was sure about that part.

"It wasn't, I teleported away when you tried ramming into me, but you almost got me," the director said as he had to congratulate him somewhat for his suicide mission.

"However, if you do such a thing ever again, then I will have no choice but to abandon this whole disciple thing, I don't want you to die because of me, is that clear?" He asked.

Aiden reading this, slowly nodded as he knew that what he had tried at the end was a dumb move.noVe.lb-1n

"Sorry, I'll make sure that it never happens again," Aiden replied, still a little frustrated that what he had tried at the end hadn't worked out.

The director nodded, not putting too much pressure on it.

"So, um, can you stand up? Are you in shape for tomorrow?" The director asked as he wanted to know if Aiden would be able to participate in the duel tomorrow.

"Well, I seem fine," Aiden muttered as he slowly stood up and walked around a little.

He wasn't sure if his body would hold up in such tense situations, but from what he had seen, it would be fine.

"Alright, then for tomorrow, I have a small request," the director started off, waiting for Aiden to either say something or nod.

Seeing him do one of the two, he continued his sentence.

"Tomorrow, don't use magic, use that dagger of yours... That way, it will be even more humiliating to the person that you will face," the director said with a cruel smile.

"Are you sure? Shouldn't I use this opportunity to train my magic spells?" Aiden replied, unsure if this was the best idea for his growth.

However, the director had the perfect answer for him.

"Don't worry about that, you will have enough practice and training with me, don't you even worry about that part," David said.

'Um, that's true, I guess. It would also be quite funny seeing the face of that beast girl when I defeat her without using any magic...'

Aiden was currently debating in his mind, wondering what choice would be better at the end of the day.

A few moments later, he had made his choice, he would be ridiculing that girl. By doing so, he would make sure that everyone who would ask for a duel would be a lot more careful.

He would make her an example for the others, he would show them what happens when you mess with Aiden Nightshade!

"Alright, come here, I'll bring you back to your dorms," the director said as he held his arm forward toward Aiden who really seemed in good shape.

Even now, David was surprised about Aiden's condition as it should have taken at least a couple of days to heal all those injuries, however, David had an idea as to what had caused such a thing.

It was his body and the training that he had gone through to get stronger physically, he was sure that it was related to that.

After all, having a stronger body couldn't be something negative.

However, all those thoughts left the magic academy director as he felt Aiden's touch on his arm, teleporting him to his dorm.

*Swoosh*

The next moment, they were in the dark as they couldn't see around themselves.

"Are you alone in here?" The director asked as he remembered the room number that Aiden had given him a while ago.

However, he had no idea if Aiden had roommates or not. He hoped that he didn't or else that person had for sure woken up by now since they hadn't been the most discreet.

Teleportation made a lot of noise, after all.

"Who's making all that fucking noise?" someone with one hell of a foul mouth uttered, clearly mad over the noise that the director and Aiden had caused.

"Sorry," Aiden whispered back as he waved toward David as if telling him to leave.

"Next time, just don't make any noise," that person said as she seemed to have been sleeping on one of the beds that were on Aiden's right.

'Just where is my room?' Aiden thought as he had never been here yet, he hadn't had the chance to do so.

He looked to his right and his left as he seemed to spot a wooden door.

Aiden stopped wasting any more time as he simply went through that door without any hesitation, he glanced at the bed and simply fell on it, sleeping right away.

It had been a long time since Aiden had been so exhausted, so this night of sleep would certainly do a lot of good before a duel.

***

The next morning, Aiden slowly woke up as he had never gotten such a good night of sleep before.

He had to admit that it was an extremely nice feeling.

He took his time as slowly stood up from his bed as he looked outside, wondering why there was so much noise.

Then, he opened the window to his room, wondering why so many people were currently walking toward the Coliseum.

And as soon as he heard what the announcer, he realized that he was in trouble.

"The duel between Garetsa and Aiden would begin in five minutes, please make your way toward the Coliseum."

Aiden, hearing this, cursed out loud, extremely frustrated over everything that just happened.

"Why is this shitty duel so early in the morning?"

Aiden, then, glanced at a clock that was in his room and realized that it wasn't morning anymore.

"Twelve... fifty-five."

"Wait, why am I even looking at the time, I need to get there before this fight starts," Aiden shouted as he jumped out of his window in the clothes that he had worn yesterday.

His hair was messy, his clothes were dirty. If anyone were to see him right now, they would actually ask themselves why an itinerant was in the territory of the Magic Academy.
