The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

"A way to make one..." Anna repeated slowly.

She had some ideas about how to make that potion, however, there was no way for her to be completely sure.

"Well, I need to try some stuff first. I can't be sure at the moment."

Aiden nodded back as he understood why she was saying such a thing, however, he needed to know how long it would take her.

"How much time will it take you to make that potion?" Aiden asked, wanting to know if he needed to find another assassination plan.

He knew this one wouldn't work if it took more than a few days. Aiden had found a way to go back to Nova and end this trial, and he wanted to do so as fast as possible.

"Who knows, it could take me days or months... It will depend on the idea that I have because nothing like this has been made before," Anna said with stars in her eyes.

She was truly excited to work on a completely new concept that had never been done before.

Aiden, on the other hand, didn't seem to be the happiest man in the world for some reason. He kept glaring at her with a dead-pan look in his eyes, he had just heard bad news which meant that he needed to find another plan.

'Fuck, what can I even do... if that man has his teleportation available, then I have no way of killing him at all,' Aiden thought, frustrated over this whole situation.

"I see, then no need to bother with it. I have no use for it anymore."

As he finished saying that, he turned around instantly and started leaving the room without looking back even once.

He had no use for it anymore, he couldn't wait months for a potion. He would simply find another way to kill the director of the Magic Academy.

It didn't matter what it would be, but he would be able to pull it off. He had so much experience that there was no way that he would fail.

"Where are you going, Aid-... Gerald?" Evelynn asked, not understanding why he had chosen to abandon this whole thing. He was the one who had mentioned that he needed it, so why was he leaving after obtaining the information that he needed?

Did he really need it in such a short delay?

The answer to that was actually quite simple, it was no. However, from Aiden's point of view, he wanted to be done with this trial in less than a week and from what he could see, he would take a lot more than that since such a potion had never existed before.

He didn't know about the process of creating a new potion, but he was sure that it had to be a long and painful one.

That's why he was currently leaving this room.

Hearing the voice of Evelynn who was right behind him, Aiden didn't even respond as he had no use for her too. He knew that he had accepted to a favor from him, but it didn't matter anymore Aiden would soon be leaving this world and never coming back.

Well, he wouldn't be coming back under the same identity, that's for sure.

"Did I say something insulting?" Anna questioned herself, also not understanding the reaction coming from the person in front of her.

For some reason, he was leaving after asking for her help. But, Anna honestly didn't seem too bothered about it as she had just received a really good idea which meant that she needed to try many things in making that potion.

"It's fine, it's just that if it takes too long. It doesn't have any use for me," Aiden said as he continued walking forward.

Anna hearing that frowned as if that had been an insult toward her.

"You think that I won't be able to do that potion of yours in less than a few days?" She asked, having found a new motivation for this task.

Beforehand, she had been pumped because she was passionate about everything that was related to potion-making. However, if she was been told that she wasn't good enough for him, then she would make sure that Aiden would never be able to say anything like that ever again.

Aiden, this time, turned around as he was quite intrigued by her answer.

He had just heard that it could take months, so what was she rambling on about?

"You said it could take months, I can't wait for months. I have a week at most," Aiden said as he waited to see what she would be answering back.

"A week? Consider it done, come see me every night this week as I might need some help to gather some ingredients," she said as she would be doing a lot of testing in the upcoming days. 

She would need to find the perfect combination that would make this potion perfectly. It wasn't the first time that she would be doing such a thing, however, it would be the first time that she would have a deadline.

'I guess, I needed to tell to hurry the fuck up, huh?' Aiden thought as her answers made a complete turnaround for some reason.

It started out as months and it was now a week.

'Putting pressure on people really is useful,' Aiden mused, happy with the result that he had achieved.

"Alright, then are we starting tonight?"

Anna shook her head, "No, I need to prepare some things. But make sure to be here tomorrow night, I'll make sure to find some use out of you."

'Well, that makes things easier, I won't need to be coming here during the day.'

But then Anna pointed out of nowhere toward Evelynn, "Make sure that you come too, I'll need your help too. In fact, I need all the help that I can get, one week to figure out how to make a potion is insanely short."
