The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 267 267 - Skill Level-Up

However, realizing that he was starting to question his past actions, Aiden dismissed those thoughts as he knew that the training that he had gone through had been useful.

He knew that it was, for example, it was currently helping him as he might be able to analyze how people are using magic in this world which would facilitate his task of opening a shop and getting a lot of Reputation a lot easier.

Then, as all the small white and red targets appeared in front of everyone, it was time for Allen to aim at those targets with the spells of his choice.

'I wonder what affinity he has?'

Then as soon as Aiden thought that, Allen cast a fireball spell.

The fireball moved at an average as it seemed that he had put a lot of effort into being as precise as possible which was, after all, the goal of the first part of this entrance exam.

However, as the fireball hit the target, something unexpected happened.

The target remained as if saying to Allen that it hadn't received enough damage to count.

This was further confirmed by Lady Sophia who said something with a smile on her face.

"You guys didn't think that it would be that easy, right? This test isn't solely aimed to judge you're accuracy with spells. Well, it is but we want to know how accurate you can be when throwing your spells as strong as possible."

Then, as all this was happening, Aiden seemed disappointed as his eyes didn't indicate anything.

'Well, seems like I'll have to observe as best as I can,' Aiden thought, as he realized that he wouldn't have some help in this trial.

He would have to overcome this trial by himself. That was what he would need to do, there wouldn't be some crazy cheat to help him.

As he was starting to get all those thoughts, he heard a beeping sound in his mind.

'Oh, actually maybe I will have a cheat in this trial,' He thought with a smile as he read the message which had just appeared in front of him.

[Your skill, <Eyes of Truth>, has levelled up.]

Aiden didn't know how this skill had levelled up, but when he opened his system to see what had been upgraded, he instantly understood the change and the impact that it would have in this trial.

'This is great!' He exclaimed to himself.

'I'll actually be able to analyze how they use their magic or whatever it's called.'

It seemed that the Lumithars had been listening to him from far away as he had gotten the skills that he wanted.

He would now be able to analyze which much more depth how people cast their magic spells.

Then, as he looked back up, analyzing every single movement that Allen was currently doing, he noticed every single detail with a lot more ease.

The reason for that was his eyes which had levelled up, however, the level up helped him a lot more than he would have thought as the system highlighted every part of the movement.

For example, when Allen started summoning his mana, Aiden was able to see inside his body and see what was happening inside of it.

Then, when he started summoning the fireball, he could see how the affinity was mixing with the mana.

Overall, this new ability of his was simply incredible and just like he had guessed it would make his job here a lot easier.

As Allen finished casting his second fireball, it went at full speed toward one of the targets and without much surprise it hit the target blowing it up instantly.

However, once again, it seemed that it was an illusion since Aiden was able to see that the target hadn't moved and had simply disappeared.

'Well, one thing's sure, those illusions are well made,' Aiden thought, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to see through them without his eyes.

'I guess the training wasn't useless even if I could have learned that ability here.'

Then, as the target blew up, Allen didn't stop as he once again summoned his mana, mixing it with his affinity which was of fire.

However, this time the fireball completely missed the target as he heard the voice of Sophia right beside him.

"And that's two misses, you are eliminated," she announced as she turned toward the crowd of young apprentices who hoped to get into the academy.

'I guess pressure is something that they like here, huh?'

However, it seemed that Allen was deeply confused as he started shouting on stage, complaining about the decision that Lady Sophia had just made.

"I only missed one, what are you even talking about?!"

"One? But you shot three fireballs and only destroyed a single target out of the fifteen that are up there," Sophia said with a little giggle at the end.

Then, she made a small clap with her hand which made Allen completely disappear as if he had never been here.

'Wait what did she just do?' Aiden thought as everything happened too fast for him to see what she had done.

It seemed that his eyes didn't help this time around as he didn't get enough time to actually understand what had just happened.

In a fraction of a second, she had teleported someone away from the scene, however, that was the thing which was pissing Aiden off.

How had she teleported him away?

He wanted to know.

Teleportation would be incredibly useful on Nova, to travel or even while fighting other people to reposition and stuff like that.

"Alright, it's now time for the next participant, Albert, please raise your hand," she asked as Aiden made sure to pay a lot of attention to all of her movements.

'Wait, teleportation, do I need spatial affinity to use that stuff?'

Aiden got this small thought as he continued to observe Sophia, worried that he might not possess this affinity since he had no idea about his affinities.
