Chapter 277 277 - Shield

Then, both Anna and Aiden started walking toward the entrance of the Arena.

While they did so, Anna kept looking at Aiden wondering why he was never glancing her way.

He didn't know why he was acting after all the insults that she had thrown at him, was he really not affected at all?

Because she knew that if she had been in his place, she would have been mad and would have probably thrown a tantrum, however, maybe that was the difference between the two of them.

Truth be told, Aiden wasn't the type to let his emotions get the better of him except when he was seeing people from the Nightshade Family which for some reason would rile him up in an instant.

Then, as they reached the end of the hallway, Aiden finally realized that it was time for him to be fighting.

His mind had been solely focused on the fluctuation of mana which he had noticed earlier.

So, when he saw that there was Anna next to him who was getting ready to fight him, he kind of felt bad that she was taking this whole thing so seriously when, he, on the other hand, didn't care about this fight at all.

He knew that there was no chance of her beating him which is why he wasn't nervous one bit.

"Well, good luck."

That was the first time that Aiden had uttered something in the past hour.

Anna was shocked to hear him speak up now which caused her to mumble something which didn't make any sense.

'Good fight? Does he not care about what I said previously?' She thought, wondering why this man looked so easygoing as if nothing could make him mad.

Seeing like he wasn't saying anything else she wanted toward her corner of the Arena and she looked at him directly in the eyes without any restraint.

While all this was happening, Sophia had once again left the waiting room and went back to the observation room as she wanted to have a better look at how Aiden would fight.

'I knew it, that's the young man I saw earlier,' the director thought excitedly, happy that his intuition had been right all along.

However, he was nonetheless very confused because based on what Sophia had said earlier he had started learning magic today, so why was it that he was feeling a small threat from such a young man?

It didn't make any sense.

'Well, I guess I'll see why when they start fighting.'

Then, the director was thinking about all those things, Aiden had finally reached his side of the arena which was gigantic.

There had to be at least, 200 meters between the two of them and thinking about it, Aiden found that a little weird since they needed to cast spells to deal damage to one another.

However, if they were so far away then Aiden and Anna would have all the time in the world to dodge each of the spells thrown at them.

"Well, who cares, let's start this thing," Aiden murmured to himself as he got ready.

He made sure to remember all of the spells that he had learned during the precision test.

'There was, an icicle, fireball, mudball, and I can't remember the last one,' Aiden thought as he couldn't be bothered to open his system to look up what was the last one.

With three spells he would probably have enough to deal with the person who was against him.

Well, actually he had four spells as he had planned to use the Universal Spell right away when this fight would be starting.

Then, as if reading his mind, a countdown resounded in the Arena.

[3... 2... 1... Fight!]

'Universal Spell,' Aiden thought to himself as he had the image of his dagger in his mind.

He didn't want to show everyone here that he had a real dagger as they would probably be asking a lot of questions, so he thought that this would be a better option since this dagger was technically magic.

So, after creating the dagger, he looked up and saw that there was some red fiery ball that was currently aimed right at his head.

Seeing it, Aiden quickly dodged it as he jumped to his right using all of his capabilities.

He didn't want to be burned alive after all.

'Alright, I guess it's my turn now. Fireball!' 

Then, as he called the name of the spell the same red ball as she had used appeared in his hand and he threw it with pinpoint precision toward Anna.

While the fireball started advancing toward Anna, Aiden used that time to get as close as he could to her as he made sure to run at an average not wanting to show to everyone that his body was well trained.

He had noticed that not many in this world had well-built bodies which is why he decided that he would be only showing average capabilities.

But, if it came to it, he would use them.

Then, Aiden was now around 100 metres away from Anna when he saw that she had thrown a completely different spell this time around, it sort of looked like a firewall.

While Aiden wanted to learn what it was, it currently wasn't the moment as he had difficulty paying attention to all of her opponent's movements when casting that spell which is why he didn't acquire it.

'Icicle!'

As he called that, he immediately started spinning the icicle which had formed in his hand as he wanted this little bit of ice to do as much as possible.

Then, after a few seconds, he released it at full speed and directly aimed at Anna's head.

However, contrary to Aiden's expectation, she didn't try to dodge it at all as she stopped moving.

Then, he noticed that there was a weird mana fluctuation around her, but he wasn't able to see what it had been.

So, when the icicle was about to hit her, it bounced off as if there was something protecting her.
