Chapter 268 268 - Close Call

However, those were questions that he would be asking himself at another time as the new participant appeared on the platform, shaking.

It seemed that he was so stressed that he started to shake because of the pressure that he was feeling.

Seeing that scene, Aiden had no choice but to be somewhat confused as to what was happening.

He knew that Sophia had made it obvious that every participant needed to feel pressure, but this was simply too much.

Were Sophia's actions really that bad?

Aiden didn't think so as he was used to a lot worse from his past life.

However, even Aiden as a human puts a lot of pressure on himself as he wants to be the best at everything, well the strongest. That's his goal even if he's far from reaching it.

Then, the person who was on stage started aiming at the target, Aiden noticed that this time it was an icicle which was formed.

He had noticed that change before the icicle had fully formed since Aiden had noticed that it wasn't the same affinity as the change of colour was honestly extremely obvious.

The fire affinity had the colour orange and this one was white as snow, it was quite the change and Aiden couldn't have missed it even if he had wanted to.

Then, the man on the platform continued forming icicles one after another, hitting the targets with perfect precision.

While he did so, Aiden continued to observe his every movement again and again as he knew that this would help him for his turn.

*BEEP*

Hearing that sound, Aiden was quite surprised.

'Are they going to level up my skill again?' Aiden thought as he knew that he had used it a lot in the past minutes.

However, when he read the message that had just appeared, Aiden was even more confused than earlier as he would have never expected such a message.

It was truly a surprise for him.

[You have learned how to use icicles.]

Seeing that small message confused Aiden, however, he realized that if he was able to learn spells this way it would make this whole thing a lot easier.

He knew what this message meant. It meant that if he continued looking at everyone using their spells, then he would be able to use a lot of different spells which would require a lot of practice usually.

He didn't know to which degree of proficiency he had learned the spell, but that didn't matter as he would be able to practice those spells a lot in the month that was to come and one thing was sure, Aiden wouldn't take a break during that month as this was a trial.

Then, a few other participants went on stage as Nightshade was quite far down in the order.

So, he waited as he learned all kinds of different spells which would help him.

However, he soon realized that he should maybe try using one of those spells at least a single time before being teleported on stage which is why he slowly started getting away from the crowd of people.

As he got a few meters away from them, he slowly concentrated on himself as he called the spell in his mind.

'Icicle'

Then, as he thought of that name, a little icicle appeared in his hands.

'Alright, now what do I do?' Aiden thought as he observed the icicle which was floating in his hands.

As he did so, he slowly remembered how the others aimed when using their skills which is why he did the exact same.

He did the exact same movement as those who had used the icicles earlier, making sure that everything that he was currently doing was right.

He didn't want to do something useless since that would be a waste of time and Aiden didn't want those.

Then, after dismissing those useless thoughts, his icicle which was in his hands slowly started to rotate giving it penetration and after doing that, he simply pushed his hand forward hoping that it would go where it aimed.

However, it seemed that it didn't as he couldn't see the icicle anymore, it was literally gone from in front of him.

'Where did it go?' Aiden thought as he started looking around himself, trying to find the projectile as fast as he could.

Then as he kept looking around him, he saw that the icicle was currently going in the direction of Lady Sophia, in fact, it was going in the direction of her head.

If she didn't move her head in about five seconds then she would get hit and on the same occasion, she would be badly hurt.

But, as it was about to hit her, she disappeared as Aiden heard a whisper from his left.

"Watch what you're doing young man," she whispered as she reappeared on the scene as if nothing at happened.

Also, it seemed that no one had noticed her disappearance as no one said anything as they kept watching whoever was participating.

'Well, I guess she didn't like that, huh?' Aiden thought as he realized that he would to practice a little bit more.

He didn't know why no one had noticed that he had sent an icicle in the direction of Sophia's head, however, he didn't mind it as it would make his practice a lot simpler.

'Alright, let's try this again. Icicle,' Aiden thought as a new icicle appeared in one of his hands.

'Well, magic here doesn't seem too hard.'
