Chapter 324 324 – Anna
Aiden stopped wondering about it and made a sign toward Evelynn to stay where she was as he knew there was no chance she would be as discreet as him.
She didn’t have his skills, after all.
Aiden wanted to ensure that there was no way for the person awake that he was there.
‘I need to either, make that person fall asleep, kill her, or I can try my best to stay out of her way while researching for the anti-mana potion,’ Aiden thought.
He knew the better option out of those three, and it was also the one that required as little risk as possible, trying to stay out of that person’s way.
Either way, Aiden wanted to see what the person who was still up looked like. Was it a teacher, a student, something else entirely?
‘Let’s see,’ Aiden mused, getting closer to the door that was right in front of him.
Luckily for him, there was a small window on the door. Because of it, the only thing that Aiden needed to do was raise his head a little, peeking inside the lighted-up room.
As he raised his head, he first took a really quick peek wanting to see if there was even someone in that room. However, that seemed pretty obvious from all the noise that was coming from it.
After making sure, that there was indeed someone and that the person wasn’t looking in the door’s way, he took his time as he glanced at everything that was happening in the room.
He had to admit that he was a little shocked by what he was seeing but it wasn’t that bad, he had clearly seen worse.
Everything in that room was incredibly messy, Aiden could see shards of glass on the ground with all sorts of colored liquid. It didn’t matter what color he would think of, it was on the ground. But that was only the state of the room, the person inside it seemed even crazier at first glance.
It was a girl, a beautiful one at that. Her hair was long and green, but instead of going down her back… it was all up in the air as if some chemical reaction had caused her hair to go up in such a weird fashion. There was also what she was wearing, it was a long white coat that was splattered by all sorts of different chemicals from the looks of it. Aiden had to admit that it was quite fitting to the state of the room.
Analyzing her even more, Aiden tried to guess if she was a student or a teacher, but it didn’t matter how much time he’d spent looking at her… he wouldn’t know. However, that was only a detail as Aiden now knew that he probably wouldn’t have any problem with her being here while he would be roaming around.
She was way too engrossed in her task to even notice him.
‘Well, I certainly admire that focus and hard work,’ Aiden thought.
He knew that it was quite rare for people to work and practice every minute of the day, but it seemed this person was actually doing it which was quite admirable in Aiden’s eyes.
Having looked at her for enough time, Aiden slowly moved out of the little window and headed back toward Evelynn, who was still waiting patiently.
Arriving close to her, Aiden got closer to one of her ears as he whispered, “I don’t think we’re going to have any problem with her being here, she won’t even notice us, I’m sure. Now, where do we need to go?”
Evelynn hearing that question raised her shoulders as she had no idea where to go next, she hadn’t stepped a single foot in here since the start of the Academy. She only knew about this place because she had studied everything there was to know about the Magic Academy since she was only a kid.
“You don’t know,” Aiden whispered seeing her raised shoulders.
He thought that everything would be smooth sailing since he had brought her here with him. But it seemed that it wouldn’t be the case from this reaction.
“I don’t, but um, out of curiosity what did this person look like?” Evelynn asked, making sure to be as quiet as possible, not uttering the slightest noise.
‘Why is she even asking that right now?’ Aiden thought as he couldn’t find the correlation to the situation.
However, even if he didn’t understand Aiden quickly described her to the best of his abilities.
Evelynn instantly nodded, when hearing all the information that was coming out of Aiden’s mouth.
It seemed like she had been right all along, the person who was currently in the lighted-up room was Anna, the Alchemy teacher.
“I have a better idea, we should ask that person in there about your anti-mana potion, I’m sure she knows something about it,” Evelynn whispered, not having a single idea that this whole thing needed to be between them only.
Aiden hadn’t mentioned it to her, so how was she supposed to guess that they couldn’t talk about this thing to others?
“Who is that person?”
Aiden didn’t outright refuse as he also wanted to learn more about the person who was on the other side of that door. It was clear that she had a lot of experience, so asking her for some help couldn’t be the end of the world, all things considered.
“It’s the Alchemy teacher, Anna. She’s probably the best in the whole universe regarding potion-making.”
‘Whole universe, huh? I have my doubts,’ Aiden thought in his mind as he knew a lot more things than her when it came to the universe. ‘But, that person is Anna?’
Aiden had to admit that he had expected someone completely different than that. He had expected someone who was extremely clean and organized, but it seemed that it was the complete opposite.
“I see, but we can’t ask her, no way…”
This time, Evelynn was even more confused, getting a little frustrated with how Aiden was acting.
“Why can’t we ask her, she’s literally the best option. You know sometimes I really don’t get you at all…”
‘Wait… actually, maybe we could ask her,’ Aiden thought as he still had his [Everchanging Item] which meant that he could potentially put a mask on.
He also had his skill which made it possible for Aiden to change his face completely, making him unrecognizable.
‘Do I put on a mask or do I change my face?’ Aiden thought.
Aiden quickly debated about it in his mind, before choosing to change his face completely.
“Actually, forget about what I just said, we’re going to ask her,” Aiden muttered as his face changed completely.
“Y-Your face… what’s happening? Was your previous appearance fake?”
Aiden only smiled as he raised his shoulders. It would make things for him a lot easier if Evelynn had no idea about his true appearance.
“Ah… whatever, let’s just go and ask her now,” Evelynn muttered as she stood up and headed toward the lighted-up room without wasting any time.
Aiden followed her with his new face. He now had black hair and blue eyes, and some features on his face had also changed. There was no way that anyone would be able to recognize him.
