Chapter 315 Chapter 315 – Past Training Suggestions
“Um, surprising, I really didn’t think that she would be more gifted with daggers than the director,” Aiden muttered as he stayed above them, thinking that it might be luck that she did a better strike than David.
He watched it again and it was once again the same thing, Garestsa was better.
‘Maybe it’s because she’s younger and it’s easier for her to assimilate things,’ Aiden thought a little.
Aiden wasn’t sure, however, for some reason, she seemed to be having fun trying to kill David as she had a smile on her face.
Obviously, she wasn’t actually killing him, she was acting like she would and while doing so, she seemed extremely happy.
‘I guess, I should show them a more efficient way to practice,’ Aiden thought as he remembered the training methods that he had used with Emma, a while ago.
Aiden then dived down as fast as he could, slowing down as he got closer to the ground not wanting to get badly hurt by doing so.
“Sorry about that, I guess I could help you guys a little,” Aiden said as he knew that they must have been somewhat disappointed for him like this for no apparent reason.
They had probably guessed that it was related to his past, however, he had given no details regarding it since he simply couldn’t which meant that they were completely in the dark at the moment.
The two of them didn’t say anything as they looked his way, wondering what he would be saying next.
“What is it?” The two asked when Aiden didn’t follow up on his sentence.
‘Is he still thinking about his past or something like that?’ Both of them thought as they looked at him.
However, from a quick glance, they could tell that he was alright at the moment, he wasn’t as affected as before since he had gotten some time by himself to think about those things.
‘I know I said that I wouldn’t be training the way that they did in the past, but… that’s the only way that I know of,’ Aiden thought as he also knew that the way that he was about to show had great results.
“I think I made a mistake earlier, don’t try this advanced move too soon, instead we will perfect your basics first, and the one thing that is really important is the slash of your dagger,” Aiden said as he noticed the confused faces of both Garestsa and David in front of him.
“I know that you are technically doing that right now, but it’s a little bit more complicated than that. Instead, I will be suggesting to all of you the method that I learned how to swing a dagger.”
The two of them seemed quite excited to learn about it, however, they then heard what Aiden had to say about that method and they lost their smiles instantly.
“I must say that the method is quite brutal and that you might not want to do it because of that. If that’s the case then I can give you some alternatives, but I won’t have any idea of their efficiency.”
“What’s the method?” David asked, truly impatient to learn more about it.
As of right now, he was having a lot of difficulty, so he could only hope that the method that he was talking about would be able to help him a lot.
The director also gave no fucks, if it hurt as he had probably been through worse in the past. However, the same couldn’t be said about Garestsa who once again didn’t seem too sure about using that method.
‘Well, I guess David is dedicated to getting stronger, it’s probably one of the reasons that he’s at the top too,’ Aiden thought as he started to realize what sort of mindset the director of the magic academy has.
“Alright, the method is actually quite simple,” Aiden said as he remembered when Emma had used that method without complaining all that much. “Basically, all that you will need to do is swing your arms without stopping. You need to do that until you can’t feel both of your arms.”
“It doesn’t matter if it takes hours, you need to do that over and over again until you feel like both of your arms are going to fall off,” Aiden said as he noticed the frown on both their faces. “Also, I don’t want anyone complaining.”
Still, Garestsa raised her hand instantly, not wanting to interrupt Aiden.
“Yes?” Aiden said as he noticed that raised hand.
“I’m not sure, how swinging a dagger without any purpose is going to help us become better?”
To be quite frank, it was a valid question that was normal. However, did she need to know?
The answer to that was quite simple, it was no. Garestsa didn’t need to know how it would help her, all she needed to know was that it would help her get stronger.
“No, you have a choice. You either do it or you don’t, I don’t care either way, I’m just saying that it’s the method that I learned my skills with.”
The director nodded as he was slowly starting to realize what had happened in Aiden’s past.
From what he had just said and his reaction, he was almost sure that Aiden had been tortured in the past.
Everything made sense… from the lack of emotion, the lack of care toward others, the desire for strength. Everything seemed to fit.
However, hearing Aiden’s response, the two of them thought deeply about what would be the best choice for them. Should they take his advice and go forward with this training of his?
The two of them weren’t sure, especially Garestsa who seemed worried that it would hurt a lot and one thing was sure… she didn’t like to suffer one bit.

“I’ll do it,” the director said after thinking about it a little.
He knew that it was the right decision to trust Aiden since he was the one who had the actual experience here.
If he said that it would be useful in the future, then it would be. It’s not that hard to understand to be completely honest.
Garestsa hearing the director being so confident stopped thinking as she exclaimed, “I’ll also do it!”
Aiden nodded as this made things a lot easier for him since he wouldn’t have to be there checking up on them every single minute.
“Do you have something for me to do in alchemy while you guys are doing this?” Aiden asked as he knew that his presence wouldn’t be necessary.
He hoped that David would be able to give him a nice task for him to practice.
“Well, the only thing that I would suggest is to practice feeling the mana as it will get more and more difficult as we do harder potions in the future,” David said as he understood why Aiden wanted to practice.
Aiden nodded in understanding.
“Any potion suggestions?”
“Uhh… you can go see Anna, she’s the alchemist teacher, tell her you come from me. She will help you find some good potions to practice. However, make sure that you go and get your ingredients by yourself.”
