The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 321 321 - Observing Phase



The night had fallen, and Aiden was still pretending to read his book about magic. Garestsa had stopped training a long time ago, she was probably sleeping by now.

However, David was still going at it, clearly not minding the pain that he was currently feeling.

‘Well, this is just perfect,’ Aiden thought as he knew that it would make things a lot easier for him.

If the director were to be extremely weak for a couple of minutes or even hours, Aiden would be able to act and there would be a lot fewer chances of him failing.

If Aiden were to try to commit an assassination than he was done, then David would learn of his intentions and it would be basically impossible.

That’s why Aiden truly needed to make sure that it was the right decision and that he wouldn’t miss his shot at killing the director.

‘Let’s just observe for now,’ Aiden thought.

He knew that he wouldn’t act this time as he was still in the observation stage. Aiden would be noting every single movement from David.

Also, his job was extremely simple since he was so close to the director. He didn’t need to be hidden or infiltrated as someone, the director already had enough trust that they were this late at night with one another.

Sure, none of them talked, engrossed in their tasks. But it was still a show of David’s trust for Aiden.

One hour later, David suddenly stopped swinging the dagger instantly.

“Ugh, I’m done,” he exclaimed as both his arms fell on both sides of his body.

It was clear that he couldn’t raise any of them. There was not an ounce of energy left in each of them just like Aiden had asked.

‘Seems like he listens well,’ Aiden thought, even happier by that fact.

After all, why would the director be scared or fearful of Aiden?

He was much stronger, Aiden had a lot more experience than him in close-range combat, and… he was also getting something out of this. It was basically a win-win at this point.

“Good job,” Aiden said, acting exhausted as he slowly stood up. “I’ll stop here tonight too. Good night, I’ll head back toward the academy.”

Aiden’s plan with that last sentence was quite simple, he wanted to see what David would be saying about that.

Would he propose that Aiden could stay here and sleep in his house?

That’s what Aiden wanted to see by saying that.

“Actually,” David uttered, hesitating. “You could stay here since you’ll be training from this place every day from now on.”

Aiden didn’t show the slightest outside emotion, however, he was celebrating in his mind. His plan had worked, he would be able to enter David’s house and observe every single movement coming out of him.

It didn’t matter what it would be, he would be remembering what it would be.

“I can? Are you sure?” Aiden asked, acting extremely surprised by the offer that he had just received.

“Yeah, no worries. You can also tell Garestsa to come sleep here next time, I truly don’t mind it at all,” David said as he turned around heading toward his small wooden cabin. “Come, I’ll show you around.”

Aiden didn’t waste any time as he followed the director without wasting a single moment.

lightsnοvεl ‘This is going much better way than what I had expected,’ Aiden thought.lightsnovel

Aiden had made multiple scenarios in his mind, but David had chosen the best one which was that he could enter the wooden cabin.

By giving him access to his house, all the other steps would be a lot easier overall as he would be able to have eyes on David every second of the day.

‘I’ll observe him for a few days and I’ll decide how to proceed afterward,’ Aiden pondered.

He had a good idea of how he would kill the director, however, he would be taking as many precautions as possible. He wasn’t stupid, he knew that he had only one shot at this, or else, his best option would probably be to use that [Return Stone] of his.

That’s why he would make sure that he wouldn’t fail here. He would be succeeding without the slightest problem.

“Coming!” Aiden said as he swiftly followed the director inside the wooden cabin.

A couple of minutes later, David showed Aiden around and they were now both heading to sleep.

David had made sure that they wouldn’t be in the same room since that could possibly result in quite awkward situations. They didn’t want to see each other naked, after all.

As for Garestsa, David still hadn’t chosen where she would be sleeping since the space inside his wooden cabin was quite restrained, so that would mean that she would have to sleep with either Aiden or David.

They decided that they would let her choose since it wasn’t even sure that she would agree to leave there.

To be quite frank, Aiden hoped that she refused because if she noticed him leaving during the night, then it would create a lot of problems. However, it wasn’t like Aiden could tell the director of the Magic Academy those problems. It simply wouldn’t make any sense to do such a thing.

“Good night, Aiden,” David said as he closed the door to his room, letting Aiden all alone in his room.

However, Aiden… wasn’t going to sleep right away, he needed to observe some things that he had noticed while visiting this place with David.

There were a lot of interesting things in that house. For starters, there was some sort of alarm next to the director’s door.

David had tried hiding it from Aiden, but he didn’t who he was dealing with. It was situated on the upper right of his door and it was quite well hidden. But from a simple glance, Aiden had figured out that it was an alarm.

‘Well, that just means that I can’t enter from his door, not a big deal,’ Aiden thought as the assassination method that he had chosen wouldn’t even require him to sleep. Right now, he was simply gathering as much information as he could.

Aiden didn’t waste any more time inside the cabin as he opened the window to his room, and went through it, leaving the cabin. 

He wanted to see how much time the director would be sleeping. He wanted to learn the timings of David, so that way he would be able to prepare many things while he was sleeping.

‘I should start preparing the trap,’ Aiden thought as he went toward the forest as he would need a couple of different things for his plan.

He knew that his opponent could teleport in an instant, so Aiden needed to make sure that he wouldn’t be able to use mana. That was the plan, restraining the use of mana and killing him while he was completely defenseless.

However, there was a little problem, Aiden had no idea how to restrict the use of mana to the director.

‘There must be a potion about it. I guess I can go back to the Magic Academy and find the Alchemist Section, for real this time.’

And that’s how Aiden would be spending his night, searching for a potion recipe.
