Chapter 257 257 - Mana

The guard hearing the tone of confidence in Aiden's voice was quite confused as he wasn't sure why he was so confident.

There was literally no way that those boots were actually useful.

'Just look at him, bluffing right until the end,' the guard thought with a smile on his face.

He knew that there was no way that these weird-looking boots had any effect.

"No need to ask you any questions."

Then, he turned around and shouted to someone not too far from him.

"Bring the item appraiser."

After that, he once again turned around and gave a chilling look toward Aiden as a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's wait for him to get here, we'll see if you're lying or not," the guard said, convinced that Aiden was currently lying.

In fact, he hoped that would be the case as he would be able to simply turn him around just as fast as he entered the city.

He just hoped that he could make that nobody pay for making him lose his precious time.

However, the guard was once more surprised by the confident look that was on Aiden's face. He seemed extremely confident at the moment.

And he was rightly so, as he was currently not even lying. So, why should he be feeling stressed even a little?

"I can wait."

Then, a few moments, later the man that the guard had shouted at came back panting.

It seemed that he had been running to get it and come back as fast as possible which was quite weird since Aiden hadn't put any pressure on him at the start.

"Give me that," the guard said as he literally pushed the frail man away, not even caring about his condition.

'Why is that guard acting that way, is he some sort of important person?' Aiden thought, unsure as to why he had permission to be acting this way.

It simply made no sense at all.

Aiden, then, started to look around himself, wondering about the reactions of those that were surrounding him and while doing so, he noticed that some of them started to act scared, slowly moving away from that area.

'I guess this guy is a bully around here, huh?' Aiden thought, now understanding why this guard was acting in such a way.

However, the smile which was on Aiden's face never left it as he knew that he would be able to prove the man that was in front of him wrong.

"Alright, now let's see if you didn't lie," the guard said convinced that Aiden had lied.

After all, the story that he had said before simply made no sense.

He had come here to learn magic? 

Sure, that made sense.

However, when he said that he had come from far away the guard was confused as he knew that there were so many cities which were close to here.

So, why didn't that man simply say that he came from a neighbouring country, it would have made a lot more sense.

Then, the guard grabbed the boots that Aiden had given him and placed him on the small metallic platform that he had gotten.

Glancing at it, Aiden couldn't help but be confused as he couldn't imagine that such a small platform would be able to do anything, however, he still went with it as he wouldn't be proved wrong.

'Wait, what's happening?' Aiden thought as he saw that there was some sort of blue aura that was starting to get released from that platform.

'Is that mana?' 

Aiden exclaimed, unsure if that was actually the case.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Feeling anxious?" The guard continued, trying to put as much as possible onto Aiden.

However, a few moments later a little bell sound resounded from that metallic platform.

*DING*

"Oh seems like it's done analyzing your item," the guard uttered as a little holographic screen appeared in front of him.

'Is that the same thing that the system produces?' Aiden thought, wondering if that system function came from this world.

After all, Aiden didn't believe that the Lumithars had created everything that was related to the system, they had probably taken some things from the worlds that they were sending to users.

However, he dismissed those thoughts as he didn't want to miss the face of the guard.

And there he saw it, confusion and annoyance, it seemed that this mix of emotions had appeared on that man's face.

"So, what's the result?" Aiden asked, knowing that he would finally be able to enter the Magic City after this whole altercation.

"You... you were right, those boots can really make you go faster," the guard said clearly unhappy.

"So, can I go in now?" Aiden asked, wondering if the guard was about to try to pull off something else.

However, it seemed that it wasn't the case as the guard simply from Aiden's way, letting him enter.

"Yes, you can," the guard replied, clearly unhappy with this whole thing.

"Oh and before I go, what's your name," asked Aiden as he took a few steps forward without even looking back.

He wanted to learn this name by heart so that if Aiden ever crossed his path again completely alone, he would make him pay.

However, the method that he would be using to do so was still completely unknown.

"Jack, my name's Jack," replied the guard as he took a few steps forward.

'Jack, huh?' Aiden thought as he remembered that it was the name of his old mentor.

Just by hearing this name, Aiden was now a lot more inclined to kill the guard which had just disrespected him deeply.

How could he not remember the person who had killed him in his past life, just because he had heard that name Aiden started comparing the two in terms of their personality.

However, he quickly dismissed those thoughts and simply walked right into the Magic City.

It wasn't like he was going to kill a guard simply because of a name.
