Chapter 325 325 - Gerald? Yes, Gerald.
They were now both in front of the door which Anna was currently in. Aiden was pondering if this was the best choice that he could make at the moment.
He knew that he was risking a lot since Anna could find out about him based on his body and all those sorts of things.
The manner of his speech, the overall shape of his body, if Anna was someone who was quite attentive, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who Aiden was.
'I guess I could also change the way I speak, that way there's no chance that she thinks it's me,' Aiden thought.
He knew that changing his voice shouldn't be too hard, he would just make it lower than usual.
"Also, Evelynn make sure that you call me by another name while in there."
Evelynn was starting to get annoyed by all those requests, however, she still listened wondering about what his new name would be.
She waited a couple of seconds, but there was no answer.
"What name do you want me to call you?"
Aiden looked at her with his brows frowned, "You choose."
As soon as he said that he swung the door wide open with his hair, now, completely black and his eyes blue.
Anna didn't even seem to have heard them as she continued what she was doing at the moment which was making a potion that Aiden nor Evelynn had ever seen in their life.
From the looks of it, this potion required a lot of skill as she was currently sweating a lot.
Evelynn gave a small hit in Aiden's ribs as she whispered to him, "Hey, what do we do now?"
Aiden looked at her without saying anything as if it was very obvious, in fact, he started walking toward her without any hesitation which mindblown Evelynn who thought that they would be waiting for her to be finished.
But it seemed that Aiden really hadn't lied, he needed to find that potion as soon as possible. Well, the potion's name... at the very least.
Because if he didn't find anything tonight then he would need to come back tomorrow which would make him unable to spy at all of David's mannerisms.
As he walked up, he gave a subtle look behind him as if telling her to watch him attentively.
However, that was simply a show of confidence, Aiden had absolutely no idea how to approach her. He simply knew that he needed to do so before wasting even more time.
He didn't want David to be waking and noticing that he was gone. Aiden didn't know how much time the director liked sleeping that's why he made sure that he would be going out of the academy as fast as possible.
He knew that it could potentially land him in some problems with the director and that wasn't exactly what he wanted to be completely honest.
Aiden made two large coughs as he was quite close to Anna, around 3 meters from her.
There was no doubt that she should have heard it, however, she didn't even turn her head.
'What is happening? Am I invisible or something?' Aiden thought because the same thing happened with Evelynn.
But in her case, she had been sleeping, so it was fine. However, that wasn't the case for Anna who was seemingly deaf from the looks of it.
'Ah whatever, I'll do the same as earlier,' Aiden mused.
He saw her slowly moving an object in her hands toward her big cauldron, however, Aiden honestly couldn't care less.
"Anna!" Aiden shouted, not caring about anything anymore.
*Splash*
She saw everything inside the vial of glass spread onto the ground. She then looked toward the person who had shouted her name with a deep frown.
One thing was clear, she was furious with Aiden.
"Do you understand what you just did, you dumbass!"
She didn't care one bit about keeping her reputation as a teacher as she had just insulted Aiden.
It wasn't like Aiden had respected her either.
'This whole thing is going to turn to shit,' Evelynn thought as she kept her distance not wanting Anna, the alchemy teacher, to notice her. She wasn't like Aiden, she was using her actual face.
She needed to be careful about her actions which wasn't the case for Aiden, at the moment.
"What are you looking at me for? Say something, apologize!"
Aiden, however, kept silent simply watching her cool down. He didn't want to deal with someone who was furious.
"Hmpf, who even are you?" Anna said as she finally started to calm down a little.
Aiden, this time, opened his mouth since it wasn't an insult and she seemed to have calmed down her mind over what just happened.
He knew that it had been his fault that she had dropped that vial which contained who knows what, but to be quite honest, Aiden was happy that such a thing happened since it made things somewhat easier because she wouldn't be able to continue her potion for some time.
'Oh wait, I need to find a name...' Aiden thought as he was about to say his real name.
He looked back in panic toward Evelynn with panic in his eyes.
She immediately understood as she swiftly appeared right beside him.
"Gerald! His name is Gerald."
Anna who hadn't seen Evelynn before was surprised to see someone else be here so late at night. However, she didn't really care about that part since it was only details.
"I see, so... Gerald, what is it that you're doing here this late at night?" Anna asked, calmly.
She tried her best to be as respectful as possible, however, she had to admit that shouting at her while she was so concentrated on something had frustrated her greatly.
Nonetheless, she was a teacher, she needed to be mindful of her answers.
"I need to find a potion's recipe and name, actually," Aiden said, wanting to see her reaction.
From what he could see, she seemed pretty interested in the potion that he needed to find.
"Well, you came to the right place! What sort of potion do you need?" She asked with a big smile on her face.
It seemed that the word "potion" worked quite well on her since she had completely forgotten what he had just done from the looks of it.
"A potion that makes it impossible to use mana, does such a potion exist?" Aiden asked, wondering in his mind if it was possible.
However, Aiden was sure that such a thing existed, someone must have needed something like that in the past.
"A potion that restricts the use of mana completely... Interesting," Anna muttered.
"Does it exist?" Aiden asked, hoping that she would say yes. However, from her previous answer, the chances of that being the case were low.
"Well... not yet, it doesn't exist yet. However, it's a great idea... a really good idea," she exclaimed as if talking to herself.
Aiden shook his head disappointed.
"Is there a way to make one, do you have any idea?" Aiden asked as he knew that if there was no possibility of having one then he would need to find another plan yet again.
Well, he had one in mind, but it was too risky at the moment.
