Chapter 304 304 – Distant Memories
Ava, the person that he had first met when coming to this new world. It had been quite a long time since he had thought about her, however, there was one single thing that he remembered extremely well and that was the promise that she had made to Aiden.
The one where she would be doing everything that she wanted for the rest of her life if they ever met again.
He remembered that she had talked about the Inter Family Tournament, however, Aiden hadn’t caught sight of her anywhere there.
‘Maybe I could try finding her when I go back to Nova,’ Aiden thought as he knew that she would be a somewhat good ally for him.
Aiden remembered that she hadn’t been the strongest in the past, but she could progressively get stronger. That was certainly one option, that’s why Aiden wanted to find her when getting back.
There was also the fact that she knew that he was a Nightshade since he had told her at the start.
‘I hope she didn’t tell anyone,’ Aiden thought as he knew that it could become a problem in the future.
While Aiden was clearly lost in his thoughts, Garestsa was wondering what was happening to him as he hadn’t done the slightest thing in a few minutes.
He seemed to be thinking deeply about something which is why she hadn’t said anything only watching him.
However, she was starting to get impatient, especially since she had a lot of questions over what he had just said.
That request of his had surprised me greatly since it was pretty much becoming his slave for two weeks.
“Aiden, are you there?” She asked wondering what was happening to him.
Not talking for a couple of minutes in a row was really the weirdest thing.
However, there was still no response at all.
‘What’s going on with him, it’s like he’s in a whole different world from mine… I have so many questions for him, from how he fought to that damn request.’
Garestsa hadn’t been different from the rest of the public, she was also wondering how he had pulled that off during the fight, from the running to how he held that weapon in his hands. Everything had been spectacular from start to finish, she was slowly but surely realizing why.
That man simply wasn’t like the rest of them, just by looking at his body, she knew that he was special.
Usually, mages were slim and had no muscles whatsoever since they had no use for them. However, it was clear that Aiden had trained for a long time.
“Aiden? Hello?” She repeated wondering what was happening to him, it made no sense that he couldn’t hear.
However, that really was the case as Aiden was slowly remembering everything that he had gone through ever since arriving to Nova, and doing all those different trials.
Right after leaving Ava, he met Maelis who had shown him how this new world of his worked.
Then, he met Mia in the trial where he started discovering what life was all about.
‘Man, those were great times,’ he thought as he knew that he would need at some point to go back to all the worlds that he had visited.
Realizing how he had just acted, Aiden finally came out of his thoughts and what he saw was… weird.
“Um, are you okay?” Aiden asked as he saw Garestsa currently right in front of his face, making many different faces, probably trying to bring him back.
Seeing that he was now back, she became all red.
“Oh, you finally came out of that little world of yours, huh?” She said with a little smile on his, clearly shy over what she had just done.
However, she had tried to grab his attention by shouting, jumping, moving around, she had done everything and there had still been no option and that’s when she started doing all sorts of weird faces to him.
“Yeah, um, sorry about that, just old memories that I just remembered, so right… where was I?”
“You were talking about how I would need to listen to everything you say for a month…”
“Oh, right? Any questions about that, want to refuse and leave the magic academy?”
Garestsa, hearing this, shook her head instantly as she knew that this wasn’t possible at all.
“Actually, I do… what did that mean about needing help outside of the Academy, I won’t need to quit right?” She asked, wanting to make sure that this wasn’t a trap.
Aiden, however, quickly reassured her telling that there would be no problem with the Magic Academy, even if it was possible that there might be some.
“Also, do you have any idea how to craft potions?” Aiden asked, as he had been thinking about the shop that he would be opening for a while. The only idea that he had in his mind at the moment was an alchemy shop, where he would be selling all different types of potions.
That’s why he would need to ask the director about potion-making, it’s not like he really wanted to learn how to fight with magic.
He was already a lot better with a dagger, even if he had noticed that it was quite lacking against a stronger opponent.
He knew that he would need to learn better fighting techniques in the future, however, for the moment it would do.
“I do, actually, I dabble… so don’t expect me to be really good,” she said, not wanting Aiden to have any expectations of her.
She thought that she had been extremely talented but she had been proven wrong by Aiden in quite the rude manner.
Nonetheless, it wasn’t like she could blame her since it was her fault in the first place.
“Well, that’s all I need,” Aiden replied, not minding if she were to be the absolute worst at making potions, there were many potential roles that someone needed to occupy in a shop.
“So, everything is alright, right? Want me to bring you back to the academy?” Aiden asked, clearly implying that he would be flying her all the way there.
However, Aiden seemed to have been finished, but she wasn’t as she still had a lot of questions.
“Hmm… actually would it be possible for you to teach me, those moves that you used against me?” She asked as he knew that there were a lot of chances that Aiden would straight up refuse.
“My skills… what are you going to give me if I accept?”
She didn’t think as she gave him whatever answer he wanted.
“Anything you want, I don’t care.”
Aiden hearing this once again thought of Ava as there were simply too many similarities between those two situations, it was honestly quite interesting to see.
“Anything?” Aiden repeated with a smile on his face.
He wasn’t sure if she was stupid or not, but he would take it.
“Then, instead of two weeks, you will help me until I leave this place,” Aiden said, not revealing how much time that would take.
He knew that she would at least need to do this much, since he would be greatly occupied with the director and everything that came with it.
