The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World-Chapter 278 - Infinite Number of Affinities?

'Is that some sort of shield?' Aiden thought as he saw the icicle bounce off as if it was nothing more than a simple rock that you would be able to find on the side of the road.

Aiden hadn't been able to see what happened or how she had done such a thing, however, from the quick glance that he had given he was almost sure that the thing that had blocked his spell wasn't magic.

He was almost sure that it was some sort of item that she currently had on, however, Aiden didn't mind it as he looked down and saw the dagger that he currently had in his hands.

'Well, before using that, let's see if that shield will resist another icicle,' Aiden thought as he summoned the icicle in his hand ready to fire another one right away.

Then, without much surprise, Anna didn't move at all, as the icicle once again bounced off.

While all this was happening many people were shocked out of their minds inside of the observation room.

"Sophia, that boy does he have a dual-affinity?" Marcus questioned as he was starting to get somewhat interested in that young man because of that reason.

It was quite rare after all and he wouldn't mind having a disciple who could use multiple elements.

However, when Sophia answered him, he was even more shocked than at the start.

"He might have more, I have no idea, the test failed to identify his affinities."

While this conversation was happening, the director who wasn't too far away from them was caressing his beard, thinking.

'Why is it that I feel more danger from that dagger that he created than from his spells.'

He found that really weird since he knew that not a lot of people used weapons in the Magic City.

"Um, Sophia where does this young man come from?"

He wanted to know that information since it would give him a better idea of what that young man experienced in his life.

However, the answer that he got was lacklustre.

"No idea, he only said that he came from far away."

'From far away, huh? Maybe he came from there?' The director thought as it was extremely clear that he had an idea in mind.

However, there was pretty much zero chance that he was right since Aiden came from another world.

"Sophia, when are going to do your fucking job? Find information about got dammit!" Marcus shouted clearly frustrated by the fact that they knew nothing about such a boy who had such talent.

But, that shout from Marcus was ignored quickly as everyone was shocked to have heard the director of the Magic Academy ask something about a student.

It had never happened before which meant that there had to be something about this boy.

If even the director was paying attention to him then there was no doubt, they would have to make a disciple.

'Well, I guess magic won't work because of that weird protection that she has all around herself,' Aiden thought as he decided to go to plan B.

'No big deal, I'll have to crush in a different manner,' Aiden said to himself as he flashed a beautiful smile toward Anna.

The smile was not only beautiful but a cruel one.

"Can't hit me?" Anna taunted seeing that Aiden had stopped firing spells at her.

'I got lucky that dad had bought me this before coming here,' she thought as she looked at what she was currently winning.

If she hadn't worn this then she would have been defeated instantly, so it was a huge relief for her to see that nothing could get through that protective gear yet.

Seeing that Aiden had gone back to being completely deaf, she didn't try to continue her taunts as she stopped them immediately.

She knew that there was no point in continuing those taunts if he didn't care about them.

Still, she was extremely confident about winning this spar now that there was no spell that could hurt her.

However, while she thought of this, she started getting extremely confused over Aiden's behaviour as he wasn't trying to gain any distance between the two of them, in fact, he was getting closer and closer.

'Who cares that will only make him lose faster, Fire Wall!' Anna thought as she summoned a firewall to appear in front of her.

The Fire Wall seemed alive as it was following Aiden's movement perfectly.

'Just what the hell is that spell?' Aiden thought as he kept dodging it over and over without a single break.

Everywhere that he would go that spell simply kept following him which was extremely disturbing as he wanted to get as fast as possible toward Anna.

'Do I need to show what I'm really able to do?' Aiden thought as he had been limiting his physical capabilities since earlier.

He knew that by doing so he would be gaining a lot more attention to himself, but he also knew that if this situation kept going he wouldn't be able to reach Anna at all.

'Ah fuck it, I'll just go ahead and do it,' Aiden thought as he suddenly accelerated like a madman reaching Anna in less than a single second.

Then, as he got close enough to her, he grasped his dagger tightly making sure that it would be enough to completely dominate her.

As he was about to go for the head, he suddenly remembered a really important detail and that was this girl's background.

He didn't want a problem with her family which is why decided that he wouldn't be hurting her, he would simply make her give up the fight altogether.

That's why instead of decapitating her with a single strike, he decided to stop just before doing so as he held his dagger right next to her neck, clearly threatening her that if she made a single wrong move, she would die.

Then, as he held his dagger right next to her neck, he looked up toward the observation room.
