Chapter 327 327 - When Will Night Come?
The next morning, Aiden had managed to get back before David woke up, well five minutes before he woke up.
The timing had been really close, but now Aiden knew that the director didn't sleep much since it had been three or four hours tops.
'That was close,' Aiden thought as he was currently lying down in his bed relaxing for a couple of minutes.
He didn't need to sleep because he was an awakened, he felt a little bit of tiredness, but it was nothing major at all.
He could go on like this for many days if he needed to, and that's exactly what he would do for the upcoming days. He wouldn't sleep at all, preparing for the best assassination that he could possibly do with the resources that he had at the moment.
Aiden slowly stood up after lying down for a few minutes, looking out the window because he heard some noises coming from that direction.
There he saw David swinging his dagger, not even doing anything before. He went straight to his training.
Aiden had to admit that he admired David for his hard work, it was clear that he hadn't reached the top by pure coincidence. One that man had an objective, he would do everything in his power to reach it. At least, that was what Aiden had noticed as he watched him.
As long as it would make him stronger, he wouldn't stop. In a sense, both him and Aiden had that in common.
They were both obsessed with strength. However, one of them would die and the other would be going back to his original world.
Seeing him train made Aiden think about the way in which he would make the director drink the mana-restricting potion. It was quite a simple idea, but it was often those that worked the best.
He would simply tell the director that he would be improving faster if all of his mana was restricted.
'I'll just say that his body will improve faster this way or something like that,' Aiden mused.
He hadn't spent too much time thinking about it, but he knew that it should be quite a simple thing to do all things considered.
'Well, I guess it's time for me to wake, it's time for me to act as if I'm reading those books,' Aiden thought as he had decided that instead of learning about those books, he would be practicing the breathing technique that he had gotten from his third trial.
It was time for him to find all the hidden strengths of Qi, and from what he had heard... There were a lot of them.
He remembered Melinda talking about it and he had to admit that he was truly lucky to have acquired such an energy since it was so rare.
Without wasting any more time thinking about those things, Aiden headed toward the door of the wooden cabin, greeting the director.
Both of them greeted each other as they both went toward their respective tasks. It was still dark outside as it was around five in the morning.
Aiden actually wondered at what time Garestsa would be arriving.
Aiden knew that she wasn't as hardworking as the director, but he had seen some of her talents with a dagger and it was clear that it was superior to the one of David.
'If only those with talents would be working hard, instead of doing nothing that can hurt them,' Aiden thought as he knew that if everyone who was talented actually worked as hard as him or the director, then there were good chances that they would be better than them.
In his past life, Aiden had been somewhat talented, however, the reason why he had gotten so strong was simple... it was hard work.
Sure, the reasons why he was working hard weren't the best, but it still amounted to the exact same thing, he got stronger because of it.
That's how he developed his mentality regarding strength, Aiden didn't know if it was a good one or not. But he couldn't care less about what others thought, in his mind, he was the best and that was the end of it.
***
A few hours later, Garestsa and David were doing the exact same training as yesterday. Aiden was starting to get impatient as he couldn't wait for the night to fall since he would be meeting with Anna when it would happen.
'This whole thing really is boring,' Aiden pondered as he saw the pile of books in front of him.
He was currently meditating because of the breathing technique, but from his point of view, the time was moving at a snail's pace. However, he still didn't complain as he continued to practice.
'Either way, the key is that potion... as soon as I get it. I'll get rid of him,' Aiden thought as he knew that there was no way he would lose in close combat against David.
Aiden had done this for his entire life, so there was no reason for him to be losing now.
***
It was now two in the morning and David was about to stop his training out of exhaustion which meant that it was soon the time for Aiden to go see Anna about his potion.
Garestsa had already left around two or three hours ago, refusing to stay in the cabin with either David or Aiden.
Aiden could remember that red face of hers quite well, too.
But none of that mattered, as Aiden would soon be leaving for his potion-making session, he knew that he would have to go gather ingredients, but he couldn't care less as long as the making of this potion would be a success.
"I'll stop here tonight as well, Aiden," David said as he headed toward the cabin.
Aiden didn't say anything as he stayed in his meditative position. It would be simpler for him to leave if he didn't enter the cabin.
As soon as the door closed and Aiden saw David lying in his bed, Aiden flew up in the air and started going toward the Magic Academy.
