The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 260 260 - Affinity

"Y-you don't know, what's an affinity?" She uttered barely containing her laugh.

"Are you joking or not right now?"

While she said that there was a giant smile on her face which was trying to resist the envy to laugh.

However, Aiden was truly serious this time and he didn't understand why he was currently being judged to such a degree.

'Is it really that much of a common information?'

That had to be the case if Aiden were to look at the short-haired girl's reaction.

But, was it really necessary for her to mock him in such a way?

"You want to join the greatest Magic Academy of this world and you don't what's an affinity. No, there's no way that's true come on tell me the truth," she continued once again thinking that Aiden was making a joke.

Aiden sighed quite loudly as he was getting openly mocked, clearly tired of her behaviour.

'Can't she just explain it to me, what's with her reaction?'

Then, seeing that the man in front of her didn't seem too pleased by her actions, she decided to change a little as she put a beautiful smile on her face.

"Um, seems like you weren't lying, then I'll explain it to you."

"An affinity is simply the element that you are the most compatible with when using Mana, for example, there could be fire, ice, water, earth. However, there are elements that are much rarer than those that I just mentioned which are the most common."

"You see, my affinity is with beasts, I'm a beast tamer."

While she said that last sentence, she seemed extremely proud of herself as she pumped her chest which was still being hidden by the weird robe that she was wearing.

Aiden didn't bother understanding why she was wearing such weird clothes which were hiding all of her features as he was a lot more interested in what she had just said.

'What about my affinity? Do I even have one or is it only for people of this world?' He thought.

"How can someone learn about their affinity?"

Aiden was curious about his, so that was the next most logical question that he had on his mind at the moment.

Once again, the short-haired girl was on the verge of mocking him, however, she knew that he was extremely serious at the moment which is why she stopped making fun of him so heavily.

She decided to answer his questions as best as she could since there was no way that someone who ignored such things could be a threat to her during the entrance academy.

"There is a test that you need to go through, there is usually a place like this in all medium-sized cities, so it's a little surprising that you don't know of its existence."

Hearing that, Aiden quickly found an excuse.

"Oh, I come from far away that's probably why I don't know about it."

He wanted to make sure that he wouldn't be suspected by her since it would simply bring more trouble toward him.

He wanted to be as discreet as possible even if he knew that it probably wouldn't be possible considering that he knew nothing about the world in which he had been transported in.

'He's so stupid, how did he even get here without that knowledge,' the girl thought, mocking him without Aiden knowing about it.

Then, as he was about to ask another question, he heard a beeping noise inside his mind.

[-10 Reputation Points]

[Total (RP): -10]

Seeing this, Aiden couldn't help but be extremely shocked as he didn't understand why he had lost those points.

He didn't make sense, hadn't he simply asked some questions, so why was he being penalized at the moment?

'Wait is it because my questions were considered stupid by the people who live in this world?' 

He wasn't sure if that was actually the case, however, that was what he had imagined as he hadn't gotten any directives on how the Reputations Points were going to work.

"Where do you come from?"

That question instantly removed Aiden's earlier thoughts as he had no idea how to respond to her question.

He didn't know of any places other than this one since he came from Nova and Earth.

So, how could he possibly name the place of a city that was around here, it was simply impossible.

"You probably don't know about it, so I won't even bother naming it."

That was the only plausible answer that Aiden had been able to come up with as he knew that he couldn't take any chances naming something completely random, there was no way that he would be taking that chance.

"No, I'm pretty sure I probably heard of it, just name it," she insisted, not letting the subject go.

However, this time, Aiden decided to utilize his strongest technique which he named [Ignore].

That was a special that he had developed after many years of practice which had the effect of ignoring the person who was in front of him.

This meant that while this special skill was activated there was no way that Aiden could potentially answer any of those questions.

Seeing that he wasn't going to be replying to her questions, she decided that she would also not reply to any of the questions that he might have.

Then. as she made that choice a soft voice came from behind the short-haired girl.

"Please come here, it's time for you to be signed up."

Hearing this, the girl called Sunny who was still hiding behind Aiden's legs.

This time, the little beast complied instantly as it seemed to understand that this was an important time.

Then, another girl which was behind the counter called for Aiden as it seemed that it was also the time for him to sign up and as he walked toward the Registration desk there was only a single thought on his mind.

'Please make it so that they won't ask about my affinity or the core thingy that she talked about earlier.'

[A/N: The [Ignore] skill is simply a joke, it's not to be taken seriously. I repeat, it's a joke and it's not a skill.]
