Chapter 323 323 - Owing one
"A potion that makes people unable to use mana? Why would you need that so late at night?" She asked, not understanding why he couldn't wait like any normal person.
Why was he feeling the need to have it right now when it was probably around 2 or 3 in the morning, it made no sense.
"I just need its name, I don't need it right now."
Evelynn seemed to be breathing heavily when she heard his answer, furious over the matter just like any normal person would.
"So, you don't need it right now, and you went to see me in my dorm while I was sleeping wearing absolutely nothing?"
She simply did not understand why he hadn't come during normal hours and asked her then. She would have been more than happy to help him, but... because of what he had just done, it changed things.
"Exactly," Aiden replied mindlessly, not comprehending or noticing the reaction that she was currently going under.
Evelynn pulled her hair, hearing his stupid answer. Why couldn't understand that what he was currently doing was impolite?
However, he didn't even care about such a thing as long as he knew where he could find such a potion.
"And you think I'm going to help you because you're asking me?" She asked, her tone clearly indicating that she wouldn't.nove(lb(1n
However, Aiden didn't pick up that cue still in the dark about her being mad.
"Yes, I am."
This answer was the one that made Evelynn truly mad as she raised her hand, preparing herself to slap him.
"Are you really that fucking stupid!" She shouted as her hand quickly started going toward Aiden's face.
Aiden was somewhat confused, but he grabbed her hand and asked, "Why are you trying to hit me? What did I even do?"
"What did you even do!" Evelynn continued shouting not caring about his other roommate anymore, she couldn't bother with Aiden.
He was so ignorant about so many things, it was as if she was talking to a kid that hadn't experienced anything in his life, or rather, it was the first time that he was experimenting with such things.
"You came in at two or three in the morning at night, asking me about something that's not even remotely important and you're expecting me to help you with nothing in return, that's what you did, you fucking moron!"
This time Evelynn was truly tired as she let everything out, she couldn't endure the stupidity that was coming from Aiden's mouth anymore, she needed to say something about it.
Aiden took everything in as he didn't mind being shouted at, and all that she had just said honestly made sense. He just hadn't noticed it, in the first place.
"So, what do you want in exchange?" Aiden asked, thinking that he had found the problem with his suggestion.
"I want you to leave me alone and let me sleep for the night! Come see me in the morning like every normal person," she complained.
Aiden, however, shook his head in response. He knew that such a thing wouldn't happen. He needed to observe the director tomorrow and act like he was studying those books that he had received.
'In fact, I could probably do the breathing technique while observing him tomorrow,' Aiden thought as he remembered that he hadn't used it since the third trial.
He just had so many things on his mind that he had completely forgotten about practicing and developing his Qi.
He knew that this new power of his could become extremely strong, which is why from now on he would be practicing diligently whether it be at night or during any free time that he could find.
"I can't leave, I told you. I need to learn about that potion tonight, at least its name. Do you know what it is?" Aiden said, finally understanding that maybe his request didn't make that much sense.
Evelynn didn't say anything at first, waiting for Aiden to make an actual proposition that could be interesting for both her and him.
"Can I get something from you?" She asked still speaking with a tone that was quite loud.
His roommate seemed to be quite the heavy sleeper since he hadn't gone up to her room yet, in fact, Aiden still hadn't heard the slightest coming from that room.
"Wait, before we continue talking about that, can't we leave this place and actually go toward the Alchemy section of the Magic Academy," Aiden asked as he really didn't want anyone to know about his presence here at night when he was supposed to be sleeping inside the wooden cabin of David.
He knew that his move was risky, but for his plan to work perfectly, he needed to take some risks. And even if the director was to notice that he had disappeared Aiden would only need to come up with a ridiculous excuse and everything would be fine, well... he hoped.
"Just tell me what you're going to give me if I help you," she asked, implying that she wouldn't be leaving this room if she didn't know what she would be getting in return.
Aiden grabbed his head as he had no idea what he could be giving her, he wasn't sure what she was interested in.
"What do you want?" Aiden asked instead, making this whole thing a lot easier from his point of view.
Then, it was Evelynn's time to be thinking about it deeply. She also had no idea what she wanted, in the first place, she had said that because she couldn't care less about helping him.
"Let's say that you owe me one, is that fine?" She asked as she knew that the person in front of her had a lot of potential in the future.
There were good chances that he would be reaching heights greater than the next.
"Sure, I don't mind. Now, let's leave before your roommate wakes up and comes in here," Aiden uttered as he already started heading for the door, looking behind him—making sure that she was following.
A few moments later, they were now out of her dorm which made things a lot easier when it came to talking to one another.
"Alright, follow me," Evelynn said as she would be the one guiding him toward the Alchemy Section of the Magic Academy.
She wasn't like those two idiots that Aiden had seen this morning, she seemed to know exactly where it was as she had probably done some already in her life.
She wasn't like Aiden, she was born in this world which meant that she had gotten a lot more time to try as many things as she liked. Evelynn also had gotten the time to learn about so many things which explained her vast knowledge.
"Alright, we will soon arrive," she said whispering wondering if there would be anyone still inside it, practicing potion-making.
Evelynn knew that Anna, the professor of this class, was qualified as crazy by many students which is why she was extremely careful, pondering about whether or not she was up yet.
As they turned into the Alchemy corridor, they could a little light coming from one of the rooms.
'Just who could be here so late at night?' Aiden thought, unsure who that person would be.
