Chapter 280 280 – +200RP
“Wait what did you just say?” Aiden replied as he was extremely confused by what he had just heard.
‘Teach him martial arts? Why would he want to learn that and why would he want me to teach him that?’
It literally made no sense that he would be asking Aiden who could probably be his literal son.
However, that wasn’t the most confusing part.
The most confusing part was that Aiden had no reason to teach some old man. Why would he do so without anything in exchange, it didn’t make any sense at all.
“You heard me right, can you teach me martial arts,” the director asked once again, making sure that Aiden knew that he was dead serious about the request that he had just made.
“Well, I could, but why would I do that?” Aiden asked back as he really didn’t have any incentive to accept his requests.
The director seemed to have already thought this through as he gave an answer which seemed to have been prepared in advance.
“Well in exchange I’ll teach you magic what do you say?”
The director was sure that there was no way that Aiden would refuse such a golden offer since the director was the best teacher that he would be able to get at the moment.
Aiden who heard his response was in deep thought as he didn’t want to make the wrong choice since his life depended on it.
He didn’t want to fail a trial and die, after all.
‘Well, he’s probably the one who can teach me the most, but there’s still the academy,’ Aiden thought as he wasn’t sure that he was the wisest to join the academy if he could have the director teaching him directly.
“Would I still need the academy lessons?” Aiden asked as he wanted to know what this training would look like.
The director, once again, didn’t seem surprised at all as he immediately responded.
“Of course, we would only meet up after the academy’s lessons, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
Aiden nodded back, hearing that response.
‘Then how would we be splitting the time? Would his learning take priority over mine?’ Aiden thought as he knew that he couldn’t accept such a thing happening.
As if reading Aiden’s mind, the director continued talking further explaining what their training would be looking like.
“You see, we will do one week where you learn about magic, then it will be my turn the week after and we will be repeating this process for however long that need.”
‘Well, it will only last one month, which means I’ll have two weeks with the director of the academy to help me.’
But then as he had this thought, he had to admit that this certainly wasn’t a bad deal, especially with the system helping him learn all of those spells.
“Then, let’s do it. I accept,” Aiden finally answered as he knew that it was probably the best option for him since it would make him acquire as much knowledge as possible.
However, even if that part of the problem had been solved, there were still many things which were on Aiden’s mind.
He knew that he would have to open a shop soon related to magic and he had to think about what he would be offering there.
Nonetheless, he didn’t want to think about those things right now as he saw that the director extended his arm toward him, indicating for Aiden to grab it.
Aiden seeing this, didn’t hesitate as he felt that there was a slight fluctuation of mana and then as he blinked, he was in some place completely different.
Then, as soon as he reappeared in the middle of the Arena, it seemed that everyone had been waiting for him as he was attacked by relentless questions.
“What happened?”
“Are you his disciple, now?”
“Are you sure that you don’t want to listen to what I have to say?”
It seemed that all of the teachers of the academy were extremely interested in everything that was happening between Aiden and the director since it was truly a first.
Then, Lady Sophia who hadn’t said anything since they had reappeared teleported herself right beside the director as she gave a subtle smile toward Aiden.
“Did you take him as your disciple?” She whispered in the director’s ear.
The director who heard that question decided that he would announce it out loud as he didn’t want people to constantly follow him around wanting the answer.
“I made him my disciple, however, our relationship won’t be a normal one,” the director said as he didn’t want to tell everyone that he was also the disciple of the young man who was just in front of him.
Then, as soon as he announced it, the teachers all started to murmur to one another as they all seemed extremely surprised.
‘Well seems like everyone will know of me now,’ Aiden thought as he heard a beeping sound in his mind.
*BEEP*
[You have obtained 200 Reputations Points.]
[Total RP: 210]
‘I won 200 Reputations Points?’ Aiden thought somewhat shocked over it.
He knew that it wasn’t much, but it was still he appreciated that he had already accumulated over 200 points in a single day.
He knew that it was probably related to the achievements that he had gotten today and he hoped that he would be accumulating a lot of those RPs while staying in the academy.
He knew that it would be getting a lot of them as soon as he would be leaving the academy his shop, however, if he could have a head start, he certainly wouldn’t complain at all.
In fact, he would appreciate it.
“Wait what do you mean by your relationship isn’t normal?” One of the teachers asked seemingly confused.
“It’s nothing that you need to be concerned about,” the director replied seemingly deadset on not revealing any other detail which wasn’t a bad thing all things considered.
