The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 290 290 - Space and Death

"An infinity," Aiden replied right away as he noticed that there wasn't a single star that wasn't shining.

It seems like Aiden really had potential in all of the affinities that existed, this was simply the proof.

"Infinity... wait what did you just say?" Evelynn asked again completely shocked by what she had just heard.

There was simply no way that such a thing would be true.

How could he have access to all affinities, it didn't make any sense.

"All of them are shining."

Evelynn hearing this tried her best to calm down as she prepared her follow-up question.

"Which one is shining the brightest excluding the main one?" 

Aiden hearing that tried focusing as hard as he possibly could, however, he noticed that he couldn't see any difference in brightness between all of them, they all seemed to be equal to one another.

'Is that supposed to be good?' Aiden thought as he realized that it would make things difficult.

It would make things difficult since he would be able to do everything, however, he wouldn't be able to excel in a single affinity and Aiden didn't want to be average in everything, he preferred being the best in a single one.

That was his ideology.

"There's none, but how can I know which star belongs to what affinity?" Aiden asked as there were simply too many for him to identify them.

Evelynn rolled her eyes hearing that question since it was really common information but still didn't comment on it as she knew the reasons as to why she was receiving those questions.

"There's usually a colour assigned with each star, if you want to know what colour to which affinity then visit the Magic Academy's Library, you will be able to find all of that information there."

It was clear that she didn't want to spend hours telling him about all of the affinities which existed in magic.

'The library, yeah I should go there at one point,' Aiden thought.

However, there was a small problem which was quite simple, he didn't have enough time to do so.

He had to go visit the director pretty much every day where he would continue to learn about magic. 

Still, he knew that doing that would be worth it since the director was extremely skilled in everything that he did.

"Which affinity should I start with?" Aiden asked as he knew that she knew a lot more about them than he did.

'I'll see what she says and then I'll ask the director his opinion on that matter,' Aiden thought as he knew that the director would probably give a better response than a student of the academy.

"Well, it's as you wish, but since you don't even know the basics then I would suggest that you start with an affinity which is common to many like fire or ice since you already know some spells from those affinities."

"In fact, you should that those stars are linked to another small star."

Aiden hearing her say that zoomed onto the star which looked orange since that was the colour of fire and noticed that she was right.

It really was linked to another orange star which was a lot smaller.

 Then, he did the same with the ice one and came to the same conclusion.

"You're right, I do see them linked to another star of their corresponding colour."

Seeing that Aiden was slowly starting to understand how his Magical Paths worked, Evelynn thought that it was time for him to sign up for his courses.

However, Aiden wasn't in agreement as he still hadn't heard the opinion of the director of the academy.

***

"You want to learn those weak affinities when you have access to all of them? Why the hell would you do that?"

The director was truly confused as to why he would want to go down such a simple road when he could learn spells related to space magic, death, or even life.

In his mind, it didn't make sense for such potential to be wasted by learning fire and ice spells which most people knew about already.

"It's just what one of the students that I know suggested, that's why I came to ask for your opinion," Aiden said as he noticed that the frown that was on the director's face slowly disappeared.

'Seems like he really was angry that I had chosen an easy path, huh?' 

"So, what affinity should I try to learn?" Aiden asked as he was wondering which affinity he should be prioritizing.

The director hearing that question smirked as he had the perfect choice in his mind already.

"Space and Death affinities, those are the hardest, but also the best affinities when fully mastered," the director said without an ounce of hesitation.

"However, the reason why it's hard to learn them is because of the lack of teachers, but lucky for you, there's one for the Death affinity right in front of you," the director said as he pointed toward himself, clearly proud to have such a rare affinity.

'I guess he isn't the director for nothing, huh? I wonder what one of his spells looks like?'

"What about the Space Affinity?" Aiden asked as he wondered if he had a teacher ready for him.

"You can just attend the classes which are offered in the academy, in fact, you will have the best possible teacher there and you know her quite well," the director said as he winked in Aiden's direction.

"Alright, so space and death affinities, huh? Alright, that should be possible, especially with the system and the Magical Path which will be able to help me guide myself," Aiden muttered as he decided that he would follow the advice of the director since it made a lot of sense.

"Then, come back tomorrow, I'll start teaching you then."

Aiden, then, turned his back and left the wooden cabin going back toward the Magic Academy as he would need to sign up for his class for tomorrow.
