Chapter 303 303 – Red
‘Something that I want?’ Aiden thought.
He had absolutely no idea of what he could ask in exchange for her staying in the Magic Academy.
The reason why it was so hard for Aiden to ask her something was actually quite simple, he didn’t live in this world. He had no idea what was of value.
Normally, he would have asked for some help learning magic, but there was literally no reason to do so since he had such a great teacher at the moment.
In fact, he had the greatest teacher ever.
‘Maybe I could ask for her help later?’ Aiden thought as he knew that he would be leaving the Magic Academy, in the next month or two.
“Are you there, Aiden?” The commentator wondered as he noticed that there was absolutely no movement coming from Aiden’s person, staying completely immobile at the moment.
“Oh, yes, sorry… I was thinking about it.”
“So? What did you decide?” He asked, wondering if he would be nice or cruel.
It was also an important moment for all the students in the arena who had been thinking about dueling Aiden.
“Well, I guess I could make an exception. However, I will say it right here, but it will never happen again. Everyone else who thinks that they will be able to duel me and get no consequences in return is wrong.”
“In fact, I won’t tell her my demand right now, but just know that there is still one. However, it doesn’t have anything related to you leaving the Magic Academy,” Aiden explained as he knew that this was probably the only thing that she was worried about.
Garestsa, hearing that, was confused wondering what was happening.
She was sure that she would soon by gone from the academy, but it seemed that there had been some sort of deal happening right now.
She hadn’t been listening to Aiden’s conversation with the commentator as she was worried about what would happen to her when she went back home and announced what happened to her parents.
Garestsa knew that she would be in deep trouble if she came home and told her parents what had transpired that day.
“I accept!” She shouted as she started to understand that Aiden had completely changed his opinion about her needing to leave.
“Oh, it seems that you have made someone’s day over there,” the commentator said as he pointed toward the beast girl who hadn’t said a single word since earlier.
‘Well, I wonder if I really did,’ Aiden thought as he knew what would be happening to her in the next couple of weeks.
“Are you going to tell your request or will you announce it to her in private?” the commentator continued, being as obnoxious as possible.
“In private.”
Aiden was starting to get annoyed by all the questions that he was currently receiving as he could only pray that this interview would soon be finished as he remembered that his class about Space Affinity was quite soon.
“Alright, I just have one last question,” the announcer said as if reading Aiden’s mind. “Just what was that?”
‘What was what? Who the hell is that interviewer?’ Aiden thought.
That question was simply so bad, that Aiden had no answer for it.
“I’m talking about the fight, what was that? What was that fighting style?”
The interviewer had noticed that Aiden had trouble understanding the question which is why he added some precisions on it.
“Well, I don’t think I’ll reveal it right now, I’ll let you guys think about it a little.”
After saying that, Aiden couldn’t be bothered anymore but all of this as he took the microphone from the interviewer’s hands.
“Now, if you will excuse us, I need to talk with Garestsa,” Aiden said as he dropped the mic, walking toward the beast girl picking her up in his arm as he flew up.
“WAIT! Put me down!” The beast girl shouted, surprised by the actions that Aiden had just taken.
“Where are you even taking me!”
She seemed to be panicking to be so high up in the air as she kept looking below, seeing this, Aiden thought of a way to reassure her and he found one without thinking too much about it.
“Just look at me, stop looking below, I won’t drop you.”
Garestsa, hearing that, blushed as she kept eye contact with him which slowly but surely reassured Aiden.
“So, what is it that you’re going to ask me for?” She asked, wondering if it was going to be even worse than her leaving the academy.
“Um, wait let’s talk about this later when we get down,” Aiden reapplied as he didn’t want to drop her this high in the air.
She nodded as she was still completely red… what was happening right now was unbelievable.
“Sure…” She said as she lost herself in those red eyes of his.
‘He doesn’t seem too bad from up close,’ she thought, succumbing to his charms just like all the rest of the girls that had met her in the past.
However, like always, Aiden didn’t pay her any attention as he was trying to find a spot where they would be able to talk without any distractions from people.
“Do you know any spots where we could talk one on one?”
“Um, well there’s always the woods,” She said as she pointed to her right toward one big and dark forest.
‘Meh, I guess it will do,’ Aiden thought as he accelerated toward the forest, diving down without even slowing one.
While doing so, he made sure that he wouldn’t drop her out of his arms, that’s why he held her tightly bringing her really close to her body.
Aiden felt all of her body for that simple reason.
“There, we arrived, finally,” Aiden said as he released her from his arms.
Garestsa was completely red as Aiden told her that, she had just felt all his body since they were so close to one another.
“Thanks for the ride,” she said with a little smile on her face.
“Just keep your thanks for later, you still need to agree to what I’m about to say,” Aiden added.
“I already agreed, I won’t change my mind, there’s no way that my parents will accept me coming back home. So shortly after I entered the Academy, they will kick me out of the house,” Garestsa said as she held back her tears.
Well, seems like I was right, she really cares about this whole academy thing. Well, she did say that it was the most important thing in her life at the moment.
“Stop talking to me about all your families and just listen to what I’m going to say,” Aiden said, as he truly couldn’t believe that he had wasted so much talking to her and fighting her.
It was all the fault of that stupid interview, thinking about how he left, Aiden had to admit that he was really happy.
“Alright, so what’s going to happen is quite simple, you will need to help for two weeks. Do keep in mind that the help might not be related to the Magic Academy, also during those two weeks, you won’t be able to refuse anything that I say,” Aiden explained.
While saying this, his mind couldn’t help but think about Ava, who had made the exact same promise.
‘I do wonder when I’ll see her again, she had told me that there were good chances that we would meet at the Inter Family Tournament,’ Aiden as his mind completely diverted from the current conversation.
