The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 343 Chapter 343 - Shade

?"That potion in your hands, are you sure about the effects that it can have on you?" David asked as he truly didn't want to take any risk regarding such a thing.

He knew that the potion was probably safe since Anna had worked on it, however, he wanted proof. He wouldn't be drinking a potion that would have negative effects on him. That was something that he would never do, especially since it was related to mana.

"I can assure you that it's safe if you don't believe I can drink one of them in front of you guys," Aiden said as he took out one of the vials from his pocket.

David smiled when he saw this. It reassured him greatly that Aiden was willing to take one before them.

"No, don't worry it's good enough that you're ready to take it before us. I believe you," David said as he was now convinced that it wasn't dangerous.

Aiden had been sweating, but hearing that he came to his normal attitude. What he had just heard was truly great.

This had all just been a bluff, there was nothing he could have done if they were to ask him to drink it. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovelEnglish.net

He had prepared a decoy, but who knew if the director would get close and try to see if it truly had worked? Aiden would have been an in fuck ton of problems, so it was nice that the director was trusting.

To be quite frank, that was another advantage of being close to your victim, you can make them believe everything as long as they trust you. That's why the easiest assassinations are those of your friends.

Aiden had no experiment in that department, but he had studied and he knew that was the case. It was even easier killing your "friend" than killing someone random in his sleep.

"Give it to me too," Garestsa said as she handed her hand forward with the one of David.

Aiden frowned when seeing that, however, the change on his face wasn't noticed by David or Garestsa.

'I had hoped that she would have refused, well it's fine. I prepared for such a situation, after all,' Aiden thought as he knew that this would become a little bit more complicated.

There were two options that were opening up to him at the moment. One of them was that Aiden wouldn't do anything about her drinking it, and the second one would be that he would need to intervene.

Aiden was a nice person, so he decided to go with the second option as he didn't want to ruin the life of yet another person. He had already done it with Evelynn, and he would be doing it with the director, so he thought that it was enough.

It was one of the first times in his life where he actually felt pity for someone, he felt pity for Evelynn and what he had done to her.

Even if it hadn't been him who had made her drink, he still felt incredibly bad as he knew that they could have done things differently, but because of the pressure that he had put on Anna, she had drunk it.

"Here, both of you," Aiden said as he handed both vials to them. He had decided to give the decoy that he had created to Garestsa.

It made things a lot simpler that Aiden didn't have to drink the potion. Basically, the decoy was the potion that he had made when he arrived.

He had thought about using it when he saw the color of the mana-restricting potion. It made things extremely simple since they were the same color, maybe the shade of blue was different but it wasn't that apparent.

Someone would only notice if he held the two potions side by side, and Aiden knew that the chance of that happening was ridiculously low.

"Thanks," the two of them said as they removed the small black cap from both of the vials, taking a closer look at the potions.

David wanted to make sure for one last time as he grabbed the potion, analyzing it for a few seconds. "Are you sure that this will remove our mana from our body for one hour?"

Aiden sighed, but he made sure to correct him. "It won't remove it, your mana will simply be unaccessible for you to use. That's basically what will happen."

David nodded as it made sense, however, he didn't drink it right away still perplexed from the looks of it. It seemed that everything that Aiden had said, still hadn't convinced him.

"Hey, um, Garestsa do you mind giving your vial for a second," David asked as Garestsa didn't see any reason to refuse.

She gave it right away, blushing because the director remembered her name.

'He knows who I am?!' She thought in her mind since it was one of the first times that she had been asked something from him.

She felt palpitations in her heart because of it.

'Oh shit,' Aiden thought as he knew that there was a good chance that he would be able to distinguish the difference. However, luckily for Aiden the sun still hadn't come out.

It was still dark outside which would make things harder for him, however, Aiden knew that it was possible that the director of the magic academy would be able to distinguish them.

'Let's just hope that he doesn't think it's weird,' Aiden thought as he had prepared anything for such a situation, that's why he was currently silent letting David do whatever he wanted without saying the slightest thing.

He was only stressing from the inside.

"So, how does it look?" Aiden asked with a smile on his face, showing that he wasn't worried in the least.

Once again that was a lie.

"It looks… weird, it's like there's a difference between those two potions. But I just can't put my finger on it, do you have any other?" David asked as it seemed that he had spotted the shade difference.
