Chapter 354 - Blocking Mana
"Who do you think you are? Assuming things like this!" Evelynn shouted as she went out of the line toward the two guys who had been talking.
"You don't know anything about him, so stop saying things that are untrue," she continued, still as angry as before.
Aiden had to admit that he liked the fact that she was currently defending him, however, well… they were right, he was the one who was the murderer right now.
'Seems like she really believed me that night, before everything went to the bin,' Aiden thought as he could still remember their kiss which probably helped in convincing her.
Evelynn was unfortunately without any access to mana because of the potion. However, that didn't remove the fact that she had learned a lot about Aiden in the week that she had spent with him, and she knew that he wasn't the type of person to do that. He had saved her, so why would he try to kill another student…
There was literally no reason that came to her mind, she was almost sure that she was right and that this was simply a big misunderstanding.
However, she could still remember what had happened last night when he left, he remembered the words that he had told her when leaving.
'Don't believe everything that you'll hear.'
Evelynn remembered those words and she trusted them, she knew that there was no way that Aiden was the one who had killed someone. He was too pure for such a thing.
"And who are you?" The two boys questioned as Evelynn was now right up their faces.
"Someone who knows him a lot better than you two, hmpf!"
After saying that, she was about to confront them even more. However, a teacher interrupted the conversation, restricting her and bringing her back to her original spot.
"Be quiet and wait for the director to speak!" The teacher said as he spoke even louder addressing the whole public. "Did everyone hear that? I don't want to hear the slightest noise, am I clear?"
Everyone immediately shut their mouths as the director was getting closer and closer to them. To most, this was a huge opportunity to witness one of the strongest mages to cast a spell on them, however, some couldn't help but be extremely nervous.
Because every one of them knew that if something were to go wrong, then there would be heavy consequences. But they also knew that they had done nothing, so they were safe.
They could only imagine how the murderer was feeling right now, well… if he was there with them.
A few minutes later, it was complete silence outside of the Magic Academy, there would occasionally be the sound of a voice. However, it was the voice of the director. There was only one word that would be coming out of their mouths, "Clear!".
Everyone that he had gone through had been safe, the director was sure that they weren't Aiden.
'Just where are you, you sneaky bastard…' David thought as he turned around and looked at all the students that were in line.
He knew that there were good chances that he wasn't here right now, but he had no choice but to verify that thought as he learned from Anna that he could change his hair and face.
'To think that he was someone like that, he tried to remove my mana. That fucking bastard!
And here I was, trying to help him,' David thought as he clenched his fists in front of yet another student.
"Clear!"
"Everyone who has been cleared can go back inside the academy," David said as he couldn't bother feeling all those looks on him.
It was getting annoying that everyone was judging or observing him to the highest of degrees. He knew that he had fucked up, his disciple was the one who had killed Garestsa after all.
'If only, I had brought her with me!' He thought clenching his fists even harder.
There was so much pressure in the palms of his hands that there was blood slowly coming out of them.
Aiden was honestly quite surprised that such a thing happened.
"Alright, now let's do the second line," David muttered as he turned around toward the line in which Aiden was inside.
He did the same thing once again, casting a spell on every single student in front of him, wondering if something weird would happen.
It was getting repetitive as time passed.
He was spending less and less time casting his spells as he was getting convinced that there was no way that Aiden was inside those people.
He wasn't so stupid as to stay inside the academy. Still, David knew that he couldn't take any chances as he kept going.
David ignored one thing and it was the fact that Aiden was getting stressed by the minute because he had no idea if his skill would hold on to the spell that he would be casting on him.
There were now only a few people in front of Aiden and it wouldn't take a long time for David to reach his position.
'Let's hope that everything works fine,' Aiden thought as he knew that this was only the first step to everything that he would have to accomplish.
A few moments later, the director was right in front of Aiden, or rather Alek, looking into his eyes.
David started casting the spell without saying another word as he couldn't find anything wrong with that person's appearance, that person didn't look like Aiden at all, well in terms of his face. The body was quite similar all things considered, but many bodies looked the same, so it didn't mean anything to be quite frank.
As David cast the spell, some sort of energy came in contact with Aiden as a beeping sound resounded in Aiden's mind.
[Blocking the Space Mana that is trying to disable your active skill.]
Aiden looked at that message and celebrated in his mind as he knew that he would have done otherwise, however, it seemed that he had celebrated early as the director had more words to say this time, he wouldn't only be saying "Yes".
